Nogalians To Benefit By Tax Slice;
New Refunding Plan Looms

Nogalians will benefit bv sizeable
saving in the new tax rate. it was
revealed here during the week when
different governmental agencies de-
veloped into the business of form
ing new budgets.
The county's rate will drop ap-
proXimately cents on the hundred
dollars Of assessed valuation, &C.
cording to estimates of supervisors.
A much larger saving would have
been effected had it not been for
the heavy loss in assessed valuation
by the closing down of the Ruby
Mine and the removal Of auto as
sessments from the tax rolls. De-
spite this the county is reported to
be in excellent condition end furth-
er decreases in taxation are expect
ed to follow in the next several
years.
BY agreeing to new bond re-
funding plan which Will be eXecut-
ed by Joe Refsnes Of Phoenix the
city will be able to show a very
small saving. The bonds which were
refunded several years ago will be
refunded again over a period Of Is
years. The city aldermen have been

City Gains In
Population by
Local Protest

AS a result of protest issued by
the Santa Cruz County Chamber
of Commerce and the Nogales alder
men this city will be ahead in the
1910 census by several hundred per-
sons.
After the first count, which show
ed Nogales with a population of less
than 5000 the protest was made
after which additional census takers
were assigned to this area. They
counted several hundred persons
who had been left off the initial
count.
The latest figures released by the
state census bureau shows Nogales
with population of 5,2O1.
With that many persons counted
in the city Nogales is ninth in size
of Arizona's cities. Larger than this
city are Phoenix, Tucson, Douglas,
Mesa, Prescott, Globe, Bisbee and

Tourist traffic
Into Arizona
Takes Bio ,Juurn

That tourist traffic into A~;z0na
ipcreased nearly one-trird r7urino
the first six months of the current
veo~ 10 the good news for Arizona
Businessmen contained in the re-
port Of the motor vehicle division
Of the Arizona Highway Depart
ment.
Foreign cars entering the state be-
tween January 1st and June goth.
1910, numbered 208,610 compared
with total of 157,7S5 fer the first
six months of last year, an increase
of 51,825.
Figuring at the low estimate of
$1,000 per car, this represents a
business of over $4,000 for Ari-
zone commercial interests during
the half year period. or an increase
of more than half million dollars
over the same period in 1899.
The war in Europe is considered
partly responsible for the healthy in
crease in tourist traffic to Arizona
Another strong factor is the in
creasing appreciation on the part of
the motoring public Of the scenic
and climatic attractions Of Arizona
This favorable reaction is no doubt
due in large part to the quality and
volume of advertising which the
state has received during recent
years.
Lupton and Ehrenberg again took
first and second places, respectively,
as they did last year, in the num-
ber of foreign cars entering Ari-
zona through the checking stations
of the motor vehicle department for
the six months period. The Lupton
station checked SIS, PSI cars and 49,
743 passed through Ehrenberg. Dun

place, with a total of 81 1898 cars.
Topock jumped from fifth to fourth
position with a count of 23,878 The
Yuma station ranked fifth, admit

Border Patrol
Is Expanded

PHOENIX, July 19 = (UP> - A
greatly expanded Arizona border
patrol. in conjunction with the U.
S. Immigration border patrol, went
into the field today to enforce new
and more stringent border crossing
regulations and prevent illegal en-
try of aliens into the United States.
The Arizona unit, originally num-
bering only A men, was enlarged
by addition of SO new officers while
the federal unit was nearing its
new quota of 1853 men, almost
double the number of patrolmen
July 1.
New equipment also has been add
ed to the patrol. When the federal
government. completes its expansion
program, the patrol will have more
than 500 cars, IA speed boats, Dow
er radio communication facilities
and radio equipped observation tow
ers along the border. 26 horse out
fits and three autogiroS.
The new regulations governing
entrance of aliens from Mexico to
the United States was expected to
restrict large body of persons who
formerly had access to this country
Veteran pstrolmen predicted the
regulations would result in increas-
ed attempts to Illegally enter the
United States.
Carson Morrow, acting chief IN
spector, said plans had been worked
out whereby forest service men anc
customs officials could augment the
patrol if border conditions grow
serious.

Fai,rners In
County To
Save Money

Farmers in Santa Cruz County
will save about $847 a year as q re-
suit of legislation lust enacted by
CONGRESS affecting interest rates on
Federal land bank and Land Bank
Commissioner loans.
The temporary rate Of 31@ percent
on first mortgage land bank loans
will be continued for two years end
ing June 80, 1912. During this pc
riod the interest rate on first and
second mortgage Land Bank Com
missioner loans will be reduced from
4 to 31A percent. Land bank and
Commissioner loans were originally
written at contract rates averaging
about 5 percent.
At present about 16 Santa Cruz
County farmers have land bank and
Commissioner loans outstanding ag-
gregating $56,5 500. The difference be-
tween the contract rate and the
temporary rate thus effects a SUBJ
stantial saving for farmers.
In a statement from Washington.
A. G. Black, Governor of the Farm
Credit Administration, said that the
farmers through the reduced in
terest rate will have the same ef-
feet as an addition to the farmers
net income.
THE ultimate purpose of the re-
duced interest rate on land bank
and Commissioner loans is to help
formers keep down their fixed
charges and thus leave more in
come for the retirement of debt prin-
cipal, or to meet necessary operat-
ing and living expenses" Governor
Black said.
Money saved on interest charges
will thus be reflected in increased
purchasing power, benefitting both
industry and agriculture, and also
will help in measure to raise farm
living standards and safeguard farm
ownership"

Ashurst Sees
Need ToStay
In lnWashington

MIR ASHURST SAID: Mr.. Presi-
dent there has been talk Of an ad-
ioUrnn1ent Of ConcresS In the o7ost
77ori7Nlc ace of the worlds history.
wher civilization is in deadly dan
ger. there are men who talk of ad-
journing. Of running away and aban-
Cnning duties. Let me say to you,
Mr.. President, that those who vote
to go home should be kept there. We
cannot add to the efficiency and
strength of the United States by
running away and abandoning the
duties we were elected, sworn, and
paid to perform.
There is nc remOrSe SO inveterate,
so keen, as that which comes from
the consciousness that we aban-
doned duty in day of national
distress. There is no happiness more
sustaining and unselfish than that
derived from the consciousness that
we performed our duty in man
ner worthy of American Senators.
Success, safety, and efficiency fly
upon high and rapid wings; they
must be seized as they pass by; once
gone they may not be overtaken.
I have announced that I am a
candidate for reelection to the Sen
ate. am opposed by able and wor-
thv opponents. I have some fences
in a bad state of disrepair; I should
like to go home to repair them; but,
Mr.. President, I would be unworthy
to be heard here for a moment if
I placed the mending of my political
fences and the care of my political
fortunes above the success, safety
and efficiency of my country anc
above the preparation and rearma"
ment for it's defense.
If we are to assist the President
of the United States in carrying
out his program of preparedness,
let us take steps toward acquiring
the strategic and critical minerals
so necessary to our National life.

Tribesrnen Face
New Drouth

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz., July 19-
UP)-Navajo tribesrnen living in
Chinlee valley on the $1,000 900 acre
reservation in northern Arizona to-
day were facing a new drouth al
though the effects of last years rec
ord-breaking disaster still Pre- being
fought bv the federal government.
Irrigation officials in the Chinlee
valley, called the dread basket" OF
Navaj jo1and because it is one Of the
chief corn producing regions of the
almost barren reservation, said that
the water situation was so acute
that sheep dipping operations had
to be suspended.
Water supply was so low at Mon
ument valley, almost On the Utah
border, that officials sent a power
pump to fill storage tanks for
thirsty stock.
Last year, the government came
to the aid of the stricken Indians
after the most severe drouth in
memory of tribesmen struck the
huge reservation. Old and decrepit
horses and cattle were killed in Or
Ger to save browse and fin o0eial
assistance was offered the Indians.
Even before reports Of new
crisis, however, federal officials re-
ported the situation still was des-
perate and that unless good crops
were obtained this season many Of
the Navajos would face a food
shortage.
