State Tax
Rate ToB Be
About $l.25

PHOENIX, July 28-CU.P.) - an.
empty treasury, the new ''in leu
tax on automobiles, and increased
legislative appropriation today com
bined with decreased excise revenue
to boost Arizona's 1939-194O ad va
loren tax rate up 46 to 48 cents to
a record high between $1.23 and
$1.25 for each $10O of valuation.
Members of the state tax COM
mission predicted the rate, which
will Officially be established Au-
gust IA, will reach the high figure
as a result of several factors, in
Guiding:
1.-The state finished the past
fiscal year with a deficit of $726,-
962.45.
2-To operate the state govern
ment in the next year $7,482,113. 81
must be raised This meets fixed
costs of the government and legis-
lative appropriations.
3-The in lieu tax on automobiles,
automatically fixing their assessed
valuation and rate of taxation, will
only return Is cents for each $10O
valuation to the state while in past
years the vehicles were taxed at
ordinary ad valorem rates. This
year the rate will be 81 in cities
and So in unincorporated areas, but
the state gets only Is cents.
4EExcise revenues have decreas-
ed.
The commission said that $4,-
100000 will be raised by direct tax
alton as compared to $2,976, ,437 last
year. The automobile tax reduction
will be responsible for between four
and five cents of the total increase.
Reduced revenue from excise tax
es, principally the income and sales
tax, brings about need for the bulk
of the increase.
Receipts from gasoline tax, all
Of which is returned to the state
highway commission, do not reckon
in determination of the state rate.
Nogales international., 1939-07-29

ceipts from other sources, estimates
of which have not yet been given
the Tax Commission by various
state departments. That will prob
ably raise the rate another five
cents.
"The rate will be about $1.25."

Busch Dictatorship :
As Only Road Taken
Calmly in Bolivia
Ruler Hits Fascist
And Nuzi Tendencies
To Split Country
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, April 25.-Bo-
livia received with apparent calm
today 35-year-old President German
Busch's assumption of dictatorial
powers as "the only road toward re-
invigorating the republic internally
and internationally"
A presidential manifesto yester-
day condemned leftist and rightist
extremist tendencies" threatening
to split the country and said Presi-
dent Busch saw with pain" Nazi
and Fascist Tendencies which are
not acceptable in this country"
Interest in some circles centered
on congressional elections. Those
scheduled for May will not be con-
Quoted, but others may be held later.
The three parties before the 1925
Gran Chaco War with Paraguay, in
which President Busch fought, had
organized united front for the May
elections.
President Busch said that his new
regime would have a program based
on economic and social needs, not
intellectual or sentimental adhesion
to political theories in vogue"
He accused opposition factions of
repeated conspiracies against his adj
ninistration, announced dissolution
OF the Constituent Assembly and de-
clared political opportunists had at
tempted to take advantage of the
situation created by the Gran Chaco
conflict.

BY DIR. HANS KINDLER.

There has been this very season a
Haydn renaissance. In New York the
new Society of Friends of Music has
played literally dozens of Haydn
symphonies. Five new symphonies
have just been discovered and pub
lished by the famous musicologist,
DR.. Albert Einstein.
Artist Appreciates Enthusiasm.
The enthusiasm about a number
of these works has been astonishing
to the public at large Not so to the
artist. If one studies the works of
Haydn with the seriousness with
which they deserve to be studied,
one finds that in many instances
their exterior facility is but the out
come of Haydn's supreme mastery.
He solves all kinds of instrumental
and contrapuntal problems with
such ease that we get the mistaken
idea that he is light" Hence the
legend has been created of Papa"
Haydn, the old gentleman in the
periwig, the man who rolled through
life without ever touching its deeper
problems. without fathoming in his
music either Its divine subtleties.
as Mozart did. or its human depths,
as in the case of Beethoven.
Suffers Injustice.
This is an injustice, because al
though it is true that he was not
