DOG WANTS HOME A young
male dog. now held at the southwest
corner of Culver and Thirt een'.h

Canning, humane officer, announced
last night.
In that it is vitally different the
Arizona method of mine taxation
held the center of interest when the
mutter was discussed at the recent
convention of the American Mining
Congress held in Chicago, according
to Charles R. Howe, chairman of the
state tax commission.
One df the sessions was given over
entirely to the methods of taxation
and valuation, Arizona being the only
state to arrive at a value on the
basis of capitalization of the annual
average over a period of five years.
While the congress had hoped to
arrive at a uniform system of mine
taxation it was agreed by the mem
bers after lengthy discussions that
each state must continue to devise a
system satisfactory to its needs.
In speaking of the different tax
policies, Mr. Howe said that Minne
sota with its iron mines arrives at
valuations by physical appraisement
of the ore bodies, which are all very
well defined, making the exact ton
nage readily ascertained. The Mich
igan policy is worked out on the
basis of 93 per cent of the market
value as shown by stock quotations
on the date the tax levy applies,
while the Utah plan is three times
the annual net proceeds plus the
value of machinery and equipment.
An interesting development of the
session in the opinion of Mr. Howe
was the case of Minnesota, where the
total assessed value of all the mines
was announced at $295,000,000. and
on this valuation tne mines in 13-1
paid in taxes 125,000.000. whereas in
Arizona with a total valuation of
slightly over $400,000,000 the mines
paid a little less than 18,000.000.
In Michigan the situation is differ
ent, Mr. Howe stated. The mines
there are assesed by the authorities
of the county wherein the mine is
situated and not by state officials.
In the county the assessing officials
are also mining officials, the result
being that the amount of money
needed to run the local government
all being paid by the mines it makes
little ditference as to the amount of
the valuation. This, however, was
regarded as a bad method in the esti
mation of the conference in view that
by this system the stock might be
high one year and low the next
whereas the Arizona policy spreading
over a number of years, equalizes the
tax.
Mr. Howe said that a number of
well known Arizonians attended the
session, including among other James
IKtuglas, United Verde Kxtension; J.
K. Curry of Bisbee. secretary of the
Arizona chapter, American Mining

STATE ORDERED TO
ALLOW CLAIMS IN
RAILWAY BONO CASE
Th Arizona state treasurer and
state auditor are required in a pre
emptory writ of mandamus issued
yesterday by Judjje R. C. Stanford
in the superior court, to audit, allow
and approve the claims of Pima,
Yavapai, Coconino ant Maricopa
counties against the state treasury
to recover nearly 12.000,000 in bonds
and accrued interest incurred by
these counties through the issu
ance of bonds to promote the build
ing of the Arizona Central Rail
way from Seligman, Ariz., through
Prescott and Phoenix to Tucson.
The order was asked in a suit
brought by the counties in Tecem
ber, 1920. The defendants yester-
nay gave notice of appeal to the
supreme court and Judge Stanford
ordered a stay of proceedings in the
case pending the perfection of the
appeal.
The writ of mandamus further
ordered the state treasurer and
auditor to credit each of the coun
ties with the amount of their claims
after they had been allowed. The
defendants are directed after pay
ing from the funds raised through
the land grant now in the state
treasury, the current Interest due
on the bonds, to apportion the re
maining amount to the counties and
are also directed as funds become
available from the land grant In
the future, to apportion these
amounts to the counties after all
current interest then due on the
bonds has been paid.
In issuing the writ of mandamus,
the court stated it found that each
of the counties acting under a legis
lative act of the territory had is
sued and delivered bonds for the
building of the road as follows
Pima county, 1200.000; Yavapai
county. 1293,200; Maricopa county,
1200,000: and that upon the form
ation of Coconino county in 1891,
it had assumed one-third, of the!
bonds issued by Yavapai county, j
The court further found, it stated,
that the United States supreme!
court on October 26, 1894, had held
that the bonds issued by Pima
county were invalid and that by
virtue of this decision the bonds
of the other counties became in
valid, and that congress by an act
of June 6. 1896. had validated the
bonds of. the counties.
The court stated it found that
the original bonds were cancelled
under the funding act of the state
legislature and that new bonds plus
interest were issued as follows:
Maricopa county, 12u9,5iO. which in
cluded 111,510 in interest: Yavapai
county. $3:i7,96S.46, including $72,
9US.46 interest: Coconino, 1159.000.99.
including 16.025.47 interest; and
Pima, 1319,791.23, including interest
of $169,791.23. atid that under the
refunding act, each of the counties
became indebted to the state in
those amounts. The court also
found, it stated, that congress by
the enabling act of June 20. 1910.
had granted 1.000.009 acres of land
to the state of Arizona for the re
demution of bonds and interest and
that the state had received the
grant and had selected a greater
portion of the lands. The court
stated it also found that' approxi
mately 1235.000 had accrued in the
state treasury to date from the rent
als and stiles of these lands.
The bonds involved in the suit
were issued bv the counties between
18S2 and 1S7 and totaled nearly
11,000.000. They were Issued for
the purpose of building a narrow
gauge railroad from Seligman to
Tucson, but in some manner un
known, the bonds were turned over
to the railroad company by the
counties before the work of build
ing the road began. The railroad
company then sold the bonds to a
third party and afiled to build the
road.

MONKEYS GAIN FAVOR AS PETS
From the Milwaukee Journal.
"Give me my faithful dog and I
shall never want for a friend," many
people have said. But times are
changing. From the appearance of
pet stores it seems to be: "Give me
my faithful white rat, monkey, par
rot or canary bird."
Towser is still supreme, but other
pets are usurping his place. White
rats and rabbits are in big demand
for children.
Monkeys are the best imitators of
human beings and for this , reason
make Interesting pets.
