County Tax Rate
May Be Slashed

Under Governor Stanford's pro-
gram for amendment of the privi-
lege sales tax, announced this week,
Santa Cruz County will receive dur
ing the next fiscal year approx
mately $65OO0, according to state
tax authorities, which will enabel it,
if applied in that manner, to cut
it's present property tax rate from
$500 to about $193.
This estimate is based on an ex-
pected total return from the revised
sales tax for the year of apprixi-
mately $3,5OO,O00. 1t is Governor
Stanford's proposal that this money,
less administrative expense and exc
cutive emergency fund, be returned
to the various counties from which
it originates.
The Governor moved swiftly and
decisively over the past week end in
to his program to redeem his pledge
and the pledge of the Democratic
party in Arizona to revise and modi-
fly the tax on sales.

TAX PENALTY
RULING MADE

PHOENIX, April 16-The first in
stallment of state and county tax
es for 1896 is not affected by the
tax penalty exemption law enacted
by the 18th legislature the county
assessors office was advised yester-
day in an opinion from the county
attorney.
The law provides that taxes
against real and personal property
which were delinquent November Q,
1896, shall be exempted from pen
alties and interest in "a sum not to
exceed $500 on the entire amount,
if paid on or before the first Mon
day in December, 1887
Examination of the calendar for
1886 discolses that November 2, 1886,
was the first Monday in November
of that year." the opinion sets forth.
I'm view, therefore, of the provi-
sion as to the date when taxes upon
real estate become delinquent, we
are of the opninon this act does not
apply to the first half of 1886 taxes.
Manifestly, the taxes could not be
delinquent on the first Monday in
November if the taxpayer had all
of that date in which to pay his
taxes, and under the wording Of
chapter 1O3, the taxpayer has all Of
the first Monday in each November
in which to pay his taxes"

FIRST SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE
SESSION SET FOR MAY 10TH

PHOENIX, April l6-Governor
Stanford's plans as regards special
sessions of the legislature were re-
vealed yesterday as providing for an
initial session to begin May 10.
The call for this conclave, to be
issued when the chief executive
returns from Washington, will pro-
vide at least the following items,
as the administrations plans stood
yesterday:
1.-The national administrations
soil conservation BILL which pro-
ponents say will result in spending
of millions of dollars in federal
money in Arizona and result in pro-
tecting valuable lands from erosion.
Improvements Urged
2-Legislation to permit erection
mainly with federal funds of a
100000 addition to the state nos
pital and $115,O00 in improvements
at the state prison.
3-Provision of funds to provide
for support of delinquent girls in
the Florence Crittenton Home and
Convent of the Good Shepherd.
4-Legislation to earmark luxury
tax funds for use of the recently
created Arizona Board of Social Sc
curity and Public Welfare
Short Session Forecast
All four of these items, it was
declared in administration circles,
are largely non-controversial, and
it should be possible for the legis-
lators to take care of them in a
few days.
Immediately these items are
cleared, Governor Stanford will ask
the legislators, in second call, to
pass his program of sales tax law
amendments calling for removal of
most of the burden from the ne
cessities of life.
Then, in the fall, a third special
session is planned at which major
revision of the states tax struc-
ture will be sought.
Leaves For Washington
Governor Stanford left for Wash
ington Monday to attend a confer
ence of western governors in regard
to revision of Boulder dam power
contracts, this trip causing post
ponement of the first special session
from April to May.
1t was first planned that the
sales. tax amendments should be
included in the first special Ses-
sion-then that other pressing
business be cared for at a second
conclave. In conferences during the
48 hours prior to the governors de-
parture for the national capital, 1t
was decided to reverse this pro-
cedure.
Governor Stanford is expected to
be back in his office April 26. The
first special session call is expected
to be issued about April %.

buffers Would Squawk

"RUT let that rough grow up thick
and tough and he'll be more
careful about getting off the line. l
know I am. But generally the rough
nowadays means nothing The main
objection around your average golf
course will come from your member
ship, however. Most of 'em have
grown up in the game recently and are
used to short rough. Let the grass
grow high and tough and you have a
lot Of squawks."
Maybe there's something to this
rough business. Two decades ago the
rough was really rough, but you'll
seldom find a tournament today where
there's any severe penalty for getting
off the line at the ranges where the
topnotchers hit the ball. Frankly, the
Southern courses which the boys are
in the habit of burning up are fairly
easy, and certainly the rough isn't any
hazard. But 7 notice they don't tear
apart courses like Oakmont and
Merton. Oakmont has fairways
flanked with bunkers and Merton has
both bunkers and heavy rough. Maybe
letting the rough grow thick and tall
will stop much of the low scoring that's
being done and restore tee shot &C
curacy to the game, where now power

BY GEORGE E. HUBER.

In addition, the Virginia Commis-
sion of Game and Inland Fisheries has
stocked many of the streams with a
great number of larger trout reared
in State hatcheries. These fish will
form much of the catch this season,
and there are few fish in the forest
which should make fine trophies for
mounting.
One of the fine things about fishing
in Federal parks and forests Is that
all streams are public streams. They
are better patrolled than State streams,
and anglers will find that there has
been less illegal fishing and no parts
Of streams will be closed by disgruntled
or selfish land owners. The only place
where no fishing is permitted in the
George Washington National Forest is
in streams in Federal and State game
refugees.
Forest Trout Waters.
A MONG the many streams open to
= the public on the forest are Pas
sage Greek, the head of Cub Run,
Stony Greek and Cedar Creek. These
streams are in the north portion Of
the forest and should prove popular
with the fishermen from the Shenan-
doah Valley and Northern Virginia,
as we'll as nearby washington and the
surrounding country. West of Har-
risonburg the head of North River,
the Briery Branch and other streams
in the Dry River drainage offer fine
trout water to the fishermen.
Additional forest trout streams
are found at Ramseys Draft,
near West Augusta, Bensons
Run, near Deerfield, eastern Dry
Branch west Of Staunton and
various other streams In that
district.
On the Pedlar Ranger District, much
OF which was formerly included in the
now discontinued Natural Bridge Ma
tional Forest, there are such we'll
known fishing streams as Irish Greek,
the north fork Of the Buffalo River,
the north and south forks OF the Big
Piney and Little Piney Rivers and the
Tye River.
In Allegheny and Bath Counties
the Jackson River drainage as whole
Wilson Greek and Smith Creek will
give the fishermen of Clifton Forge,
Covington and vicinity the opportuni-
ties to cast fly in excellent fishing
streams.

HELD MAIN REASON
FOR SCORING ORGY
Wild Hitters Receive Too
Much Advantage, Declare
Washington Pros.
BY w. r.. McCALLUM,


THERES one way to stop the
present par-busting orgy of
Americas ace golf profess
L sionals without cutting down
the length of the ball or changing club
specifications or taking any other
radical step. Reduction of the num-
Der of clubs won't do it, but letting
the rough grow up will do it, in the
opinion of two Of our more prominent
professionals.
THE game has gone:,too far toward
ballyhooing the power angle, and not
far enough along the line of streSsing
accuracy" says Fred Mcleod. Really
penalize the boys who knock 'em a
mile with deep, thick rough, so they'll
have to hit 'em straight and you'll find
the scores won't be so low"
THE tendency in recent years has
been to keep the rough cut short, "
says Roland Mackenzie. "a powerful
hitter who can knock the ball a long
way hardly is penalized at all by
straying off the line into the rough,
such as 1t is. II he can wallop that
+. ball a big distance from the tee he
