Super-Duper Buses
Start Saturday on
Sun vaI|eyLine

Going to Phoenix, or Iucson, OF
perhaps to Florence, Mesa or
Chandler? If you are, L. A. Tan
ner. president of the Sun Valley
bus lines, extends you an invitation
to ride one of the new super-duper
buses that go into service Satur-
day.
Of course the invitation doesn't
call for a free ride, but judging by
the description of these luxury
liners of the highways" paying
your fare to ride in such easy-chair
comfort with the latest in radio
at your convenience should be a
pleasure.
Joking aside, 1t is a fact that
beginning Saturday morning, the
Sun Valley lines, which Tanner
started about three and one-half
years ago with station wagon and
two old school buses, has devel-
oped so much business that new
37-passenger luxury buses, radio
equipped and seats upholstered in
plush will go into service on all
schedules. These are the latest in
motor-coaches of the General Aero
coach Co. equipped with pusher-
type motors and costing approx
mately $4,000 each.
Tanner thanked the patrons of
the Sun Valley line who have made
possible the improved service and
equipment and called attention to
the much greater conveniences in
visiting Tucson, or Phoenix on
public transportation than existed
when his line started operations.
He has been in the bus business
for 23 years and has visited trans
portation centers throughout the
United States to study problems
and equipment. With continued
public cooperation, Tanner stated
there is no reason why this section
of Arizona should not have the best
and most convenient bus service
possible and, he said, 81 am deter
mined to give just that type OF
service, the equal of the best in
the United States"

Relief For San Carlos White Farmers
In Sight as New Sliding Scale Plan
Of Repayment 0kd by Washington

years. This was in accordance
with the original San Carlos act
which provided for amortization of
one-half the cost of the project in
annual payments of five per cent.
Subsequently, repayment under
the San Carlos act was extended
for 40 years, making necessary an
annual payment of approximately
$3.50 per acre on the $4,000 acres
of white lands to amortize the pro-
ject.
Before the project was well in
operation, the depression of the
193Os was in full swing and farm
prices were at such a low level
that payments were obviously i'm
possible. Thereafter, payments
were deferred by moratoriums
granted by congress until 1887,
when the first full levy of $3.50
per acre was made against lands
of the district.
The Gila valley was then in the
midst of a drought period with
little water in storage behind Cool
idge dam and only 25 per cent of
the assessment was paid in. OBJ
viously to have enforced the entire
payment at that time would have
placed the district in default, so
the department accepted the a.
mount collected and deferred the
balance.
This was done through an act
of congress which directed the Sec
retary of the Interior to investi-
gate the ability of the district to
pay and which deferred further
payments until the investigation
was completed.
The matter then dragged along
until May of last year when off
GERS of the San Carlos district re-
ceived a letter from the Depart
ment of the Interior saying that
the investigation had been COM
pleted and that the district must
resume payment of the $3.50 per
acre levy, and dir setting that the
amount of the payment in full be
remitted by December of that year.
Owing to tax collection proceed
ure in this area it was impossible
to levy and collect the full amount
requested by the time set by the
department Members of the dist
rict board, therefore, levied at the
rate of so cents per acre and this
amount was paid to the depart
ment.
Economists and agricultural ex-
perts were then sent out by the
department to confer with farmers
and district leaders and determine
the ability of the district to pay.
After much study and consultation
it was found that the real key to
the payment problem was in the
water situation. With plenty of
storage water, full production in
the district would make possible
the annual payment of $3.50 per
acre, but with insufficient storage
as now prevails-so that crop
production would be limited and
less acreage could be planted, the
