THE WILLIAMS NEWS FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1924. SOCIAL ITEMS INTERESTING STATE NEWS rains took place in the pastures and ranges of Montana east of the Continental Divide, North Dakota and parts of Nebraska. The average condition of all ranges in the western States for July 1 was 81 percent of normal, compared with 84 on July 1, 1923. Farm pastures in the west averaged 79 on July 1 this compared with 82 on June 1. xn the United States as a whole, pastures averaged 87.6 on July 1, compared with 82.2 a month ago.

The plentiful rains in the east more than offset the injury to grazing done by the lack of moisture in the west. lajres mm rediictws than dividends.

ARIZONA VACATION CAMPAIGN FILLS ALL STATE RESORTS 'A greater percentage of Arizona people are spending their vacations in the state this year than ever before, according to reports received from a number' of different localities.

Fullhouses are reported the reg-j ular rule by commercial resorts, and practically all declare this season is one of the best they have enjoyed. Typical of these reports is one from Douglas stating that Cochise county resorts have noted a 75 per cent increase in patronage from last year. At the same time increased numbers of campers are reported in practically all summering sections, and the White Mountain country appears to be more popular than ever. Northern cities have large numbers, of summer visitors. The principal cause of the larger proportion of Arizonans who are vacationing in thejr own state is believed to-be the See Arizona First movement, which is being, backed by organizations, motor car dealers and others throughout the state, and which naturally is bringing greater results each succeeding year.

Taxes were $20,316,491. Good service requires ampls money for operation and maintenance Even a rather substantial reduction in rates would benefit individuals so slightly as hardly to be known, while it might readily (because of poor service) cause them tremendous loss which would be quickly and keenly felt.

A ratlfoad gets money from ite rate and has no other large source of supply, even though attempts seem to be made to have the public believe otherwise. Since 1921 freight rate a have been almoet ontinuoatly in proceaa of reduction. Santa Fe freight earnings were decreased $14,500,000 in 1922 and $23,945,000 in Of the last item 3.02 cents came from sources other than rates so that a reduction of less than 6. in Tates -would have wiped out the entire margin of safety from earnings through rates. Even a decline in grots batinett such as has occurred this inevitably 'reduces this balance of 8.79 cents, because not many of the cost items can be cut down in proportion.

The adjustment between success wnd failure is a delicate one in the transportation industry. For the welfare of the country, it should not be lightly tampered with, either, by laws or by the various commissions that control the main elements of railroad eamings and costs. It is particularly notable in the above statement that taxee'rvere more than dividend, it and only a little less contributing cause is the foot-and-mouth disease still lingering in California, as many people have beens reluctant to drive to the coast because of possibility of continued embargo. Reports of the larger number of people vacationing in Arizona are borne ou tby advices received by the 1923 from what they. would have been with 1921 rates.

Till Santa Fe already has reduced freight rates many millions. But adequate service vital for shipper. It can be furnished only when fair rates provide the money needed W. B. STOREY.
