He will be accompanied by Surgeon J. W. Kerr of the t'nlted States public health service, who will make a study of health conditions at the principal emigration centers abroad.

In which both parties involved irre well known In Pima county.

The case was that of Illchai'd Ronstadt vs. the La Osa Livestock Loan company, In which the company sought renewal of a lease on state land on which Ronstadt also filed application. Testimony was to the effect that five years ago when the lands were selected and leased, Ronstadt had 30 head of cattle and secured five and three-quarters acres of hind. This was held to bo enough land for that number of cattle. The.

existence of an agreement, entered Into at the time, between Ronstadt and the La Osa company was also asserted. It was brought out that since that time Ronstadt has acquired considerable cattle Interests and requires additional range. The etfhitlcs as between Ronstadt and the La Osa company were discussed by the land board during the greater part of the. day. No decision was reached.

Adv. MORE DAYS! Don't Delay! Come Today! to find. Not a day goes by but the price on the Bourse of previous government securities sinks lower. The only exception to this is the 3 per cent, which recently gained about a point, bringing it to approximately 57 francs for a 100 franc bond. On the Taris market French rentes are practically unsaleable and owners of such bonds are compelled to wait days and weeks before disposing of 100 worth.

And even at six per cent It Is reported that the new loan ia not by any means an overwhelming success. The investing public feeling no longer the spur of the war, are putting their money in oils and mines and other securities which are paying hiirher dividends and which are of higher speculative value. Limit I Reached. There Is a limit to the amount which a government can rightly expect from its own people and it is perhaps not an exaggeration to state that today this limit has been reached in France. The cost of liviflg has risen (official) 307 per cent.

It has risen more than 100 per cent in the past six months. It Is still rising. People are compelled to spend for food now what formerly they saved and Invested. Another fact more significant than any Is the tremendous and perhaps unwarranted increase in paper money, caused by the bank of France's advance In gold to the state. The circulation of paper money in France today is exactly 41,012,000,000 francs as against a total of about 6.900,000,000 francs gold In the vaults of the bunk of France.

Five into forty goes eight times. (Superficially speaking therefore, the paper franc of today is wonh one-eighth in gold of what the silver franc of before the war was worth. The trade balance is heavily against France naturally. It Is bound to be against her for years. The following figures on this subject are illuminating, France's trade figures since" 1913 have been Year Importations.

This was more than a billion than last year so that gradually things are getting better. But will they get better fast enough? That is what friends of France are anxiously asking. As to the remedies, the financial commission of the chamber is sitting up nights talking over several.

One a general bon-flrc of paper money. It is suggested in some quarters that paper money be gradually reduced in this fashion within the next 12 months. Xobody has explained how owners of paper money will be compensated and the problem seems to be difficult to solve. Another remedy deals with a forced loan of say 60,000,000,000 payable In 30 years without interest. This, paradoxically enough would be welcomed by Ray's Latest Laughing Successl 0r 1 J4.

Society Leader! ARIS, Nov. 17. A financial crisis confronts France which, according to experts, can only be solved by a prompt reparations settlement with Germany. Figures recently published have revealed a condition of economic chaos astounding even to close students of postwar conditions. The Imminent collapse, not only of France, but of all Europe, is feared un-less superhuman efforts are made toward "economic and industry by the nations concerned.

Since the armistice there has been a deliberate camouflage of the true situation. The world has been given to understand that France was making a supreme effort toward reconstruction. This is true. But what was not Btated was that this supreme effort may not prove sufficient. The bare facts that before the war France's debt was as follows: Interior, 35,000,000.000, exterior nil.

Today the figures are: Interior, exterior, total, 238,474.133,950 francs. Debt Hwampinf Franca. In other words, France owes today nearly seven times as much as she owed in 1913. From the first of August 1919, 196,000,000.000 of francs were spent compared with only 33,500,000,000 recovered by taxation. The remainder of the vast sum need ed to carry on the war was raised by foreign and domestic loans.

If France had not been able to obtain such loans she would have collapsed. Of the for eign loans no less than 14,500,000.000 francs par were lent by the United States government. The accumulated interest on these loans has not been paid and will not be paid for some years, perhaps never, under a tacit agreement with the American government. As to the principal there Is no Idea of asking payment of it as yet. Today France finds herself In almost as bad.

a fix as during the war. True, she does not need Immediate cash to the extent she needed it then. But Bhe needs an enormous amount, for in addition to her ordinary expenditures in creasing tremendously since the armis tice the whole burden of rebuilding the devastated regions is falling on her until such time as the Germans pay. No Foreign France can no longer look abroad for loans exctfit at a prohibitive interest. The recent renewal of part of the French portion of the Anglo-French loan at a total cost per annum to France of nearly 10 per cent proves that.

And Interest on future loans, if granted, would naturally be higher still. Therefore France baa but two sources aside from taxation where from to hope for money. One is the "caisses 1' epar-gne" or savings hanks of her own people and the other Is Germany. Germany is unlikely to pay fully for years so that the whole situation narrows down to interior loans and taxation. France has made tremendous effort toward taxation, In 1913, the budget re ceipts were 6,091,000,000 of which 84 per cent came from the departments of France subsequently devastated.

But in 1919, with 10 less departments to tax. 12,424,000,000 francs were recovered by taxation and last summer the French parliament voted a radical tax law whereby nearly 9,000,000,000 more win be received during 1921. Various new taxes were Imposed, including the tax on all official papers and receipts, the tax on bachelors men and women and vastly increased dues on Inheritance. Therefore, Franc this year voted nearly four billions of new taxes more than the total taxes before the war. For next year it has been officially stated by M.

Francois Marsal, minister of finances, that new taxes will be Instituted. Therefore the total sum which can be expected from taxation next year will be about 21,000,000,000 francs. Maintenance Conts Iflxii. Will these 21 billions be sufficient to pay the costs of government, the costs of the the costs of. the navy, the costs of France's military adventures In Poland, Syria, Crimea, Hungary and elsewhere and also the coBt of rebuilding the devastated regions? Especially when the Interest on the national debt Itself is 9,385,344,193 francs annually.

Economists who have given the situation profound study do not believe so. That they are supported In this belief by the French government Is proved by the recent issue of 30 billion francs domestic loan bonds at the record interest of six per cent. That six per cent In the view of experts reveals a tragedy. It is that the savings of the French people are at last become chary of the investment In government securities.
