New York. Jan. zI.-In recent talk
CIV. Hughes said that he was in re-
ce;rt of MANY letters daily from per-
eons who told him of young men who
hid h.en ruined through the medium Of
the race track. 1t would probably be Il
source OF much surprise to the COVER

mated from one source particularly and
that arrangements had been made 70

It was represented that the racing
associations had a direct connection

tax uaid to the fair associations came
directly from the revenue derived from
that service. Racing men insisted that
in the sport as conducted under present
conditions there is no connection be-

that 10 revenue is derived therefrom

MARX SMITH AND
THE CORPORATIONS

TO hear Mr.. Smith declare that
he is not representative of
special interests for Arizona in
Washington is quite amusing
when we observe him travelling
about and speaking jointly with
Frank Cox, attorney for the
Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. Why is it that Mark does
not have some other of the elo-
quent democrats of the territory
accompany him? Has be enter
ed into political contract with
Frank Cox touching the senator
ship of Arizona, and using this
campaign to introduce the elo-
quent gentleman? That is the
way it looks, Mark.
What say you:

leaps they have had to encoun-
ter. The abolishment of the
gambling licenses reduced the
revenue in the county materially,
but improvements in schools,
roads and other necessities have
not lessened, but increased, al
though the tax rate has not irs
creased, but lessened.
The bounties on wild animals,
payment of which was made
mandatory by the democratic
Legislature, have been in most
instances a foolish and constant
drain upon the county funds.
Notwithstanding this extrava-
CANT expenditure, the judicious
management Of county business
by the republican supervisors has
put the county on cash basis
and neoessitated only normal
tax to run it in first class condi-
ton.
1t is again up to the taxpayers
of Yuma county to say by their
votes who shall have the admin
istration of county affairs. The
republican record is on the books
of the county recorder. It is
written in the minds of those
who now pay q tax of So. 80 per
hundred when they formerly
paid 81. 40. 1t is remembered by
those who cashed county war
rants for IS cents which now
bring face value. Republican
administration will be endorsed
by those who find ready purcha-
sers for their property because
foreign capital feels safe to in
vest in we'll managed county.
Above all, the republicans will
be kept in Office because nothing
succeeds like success and Yuma
county has more than doubled in
values and resources under re-
publican administration
No words could be stronger
for republican cOmmendation
than these figures. They prove
the republican party is one of
deeds, not promises.

AN HONEST FINANCER

L. w. Alexander's election begins
70 look like a walS-over. lie has lived
IN this county for many years and every
one is aware of the fact that he knows
ness career has been marked by ability.
1t shows his knowledge of careful and
progressive methods He is scrupulous-
ly honest and conscientious and can be
trusted to handle the peoples money as
carefully and wisely as be handles his
own. Mir. Alexander has record for
square treatment and generosity as
well as financial ability. All the pros
pectOrs and miners know him as "A friend
in seed and they are all glad to be on
hand with roll for him November
third. The man who viii spend one
dollar TO make two, is far beisee bush
Ness man than the one who can only
make his dollar get one dollar IN re-
turn. Ale >ander is the kind of man
whose foresight is as good as his hind
sight, and the people know it is of in
eslcu liable value to have d man hand
ling county money who is goods tinan-
cier. II is because the people know so
much about l.. w. Alexander that they
are going to vote for him as county
treasurer, for what they know, re-
bounds to his credit and ability.

ATTACK BY
YUr1A EXAMINER
UPON A NOBLE WOrIAN.

Nothing could exceed the sur
prise and indignation that ran
through the city like fire on
Tuesday over the outrageous in
dignity offered one of Yuma's
noblest women by the Yuma
Examiner. 10 air the tenderloin
at the expense Of a respected
and virtuOus woman is a degra-
dation to which only a cruel and
contemplate one would descend.
The woman who was assailed
IN the morning sheet has been
u life long resident of this city.
Upon the death of her mother,
although scarcely more than a
child herself, she took up the
duties and responsibilities that
are Load for strong shoulders.
Nine little brothers and sisters
were brought to maturity under
her faithful care and guidance;
each of them becoming an orna-
ment to the community because
off her teaching and example.
The mother herself could have
given no better advantages or
more uhSelnSh devotion to the
interests of her children than
the faithful sister gave. Her
name in this community stands
for all that is womanly and
chaste. The people will not soon
forgive such an insult to decency,
that the Examiner has perpetra
ted in placing the name Of such
woman in a paragraph airing
the tenderloin.
Aside from the outrageous in
dignity, the contemplate cruelty
of the article has aroused general
condemnation. Not only her
many warm personal friends, but
the whole population unites in
sympathy for her at this pnwar-
rantable assault made solely and
only because it was hoped to gain
a few votes for the Democratic
Tcket.

OFFICIAL RECORD
OF JUDGE GODFREY
The Excellence Of His Work in the Dual
Capacity Of Probate Judge and Superin-
tendent of Schools Has Never been
EQualed in Yuma County.
AS PROBATE JUDGE

No man on either ticket
for Yuma county is surer Of
success, nor is there one more
deserving, than Joseph H. God
frey, who has been nominated by
his party to succeed himself as
probate Judge He is as capable
as a man could be for the Office;
he is as faithful as the day is
long, and rs honest and cOnsci-
entious in the use Of the county'S
time as he is in handling its
funds. He is running on rec
ord made in the last two years
which has not single blemish
on it. He has done all for the
office that any other man ever
did, and he has done many other
things which none Of his prede
cessors ever undertook.
Judge Godfrey is faithful and
l,diligent above all else. When he
was steam boat pilot and cap
tain these traits saved his com
pany time and money and kept
his vessel clear of accident.
When he was railroad yardmas-
ter for the Southern Pacific in
this city these dominant charac-
teristics made his services to the
railroad invaluable. AS probate
Judge these virtues shone as
Jewels, because they are the ele-
ments which make for public
guardianship and for that high
accommodation which the office
holder can extend to the public,
but which is a service of spirit
never compelled by letter Of
law. In the Office of probate
Judge, Joe Godfrey has made
good beyond all requirements of
the position as the law prescribes
them. He has given the office a
soul and an intelligence. He has
established it upon the personal
ity of an honest, interchangeable
worker, and the condition in
which its files may be found TO-.
day is an example of carefulness,
neatness and solidity that would
be an inspiration TO any business
man who knows how things
ought to be ron. He has brought
system out or CONFUSION ana or
der out of chaos. He has cleared
away the cobwebs from cases
that had lain untouched for
months, and even years, so that
today there is less unfinished
business and there are fewer un
closed estates in probate in Yuma
county than ever in the history
/ of this court.
There are but FIVE estates to
be dispoeed of in the probate
court at the present time, Judge

REPUBLICANS GIVE BETTER
VALUES; GET BETTER
RESULTS
u Few Eloquent Figures
to Prove 1t.

Figures don't lie, though
liars do figure" is the old saw,
and the figures stand pat to re
cord county Indebtedness of
$l8, 900, tax rate Of "a. 40 per
hundred and county warrants
worth IS cents on the dollar
under democratic administration.
Against these figures stands
the republican record i'll black
and white-of no county indebt-
edness, a tax rate of So. 30 per
hundred and cash county war
rants.
The oft-repeated statement of
the Examiner that if the demo
Gratis had been in power longer
they would have done this and
they would have done that brings
forcibly to mind the story of the
darkey who believed he could
educate his mule to live without
eating. Each day he reduced
the feed until he reached the
point where one straw was the
ration. Then the mule died. The
republicans work on exactly the
opposite basis.
The republicans believe in Civ
ing better values and getting
better results; and their policy
is represented by an increased
valuation in Yuma county from
81, $50, 1914 to s., $40, 494.O0.
This tremendous advance in val
uation bas been brought about
by their judicIous management
of county affairs. Republicans
we're elected to Office upon a
pledge to place the county on d
cash basis. They did not ask
for an eternity of time, but pro
ceeded to business at once, and
by good management and vigil
ant attention to the interests of
the county they were able to re
deem their pledge and TO wipe
out the $18. 900 indebtedness left
by democratic mismanagement.
The county was not put on a
cash basis by increasing the al
ready high tax rate. On the
contrary, the tax rate was cor
respondingly lowered. The tax
payers were so grateful for the
relief offered them by such able
management of public affairs
that tie republicans were re-
elected to further advance the
prosperity Of the community.

canvass of the county during his
term of Office, visiting every por

upon the assessment roll prop,
erty amounting to thousands Of
dollars which has heretofore
never paid a cent of tax yet has
reaped the benefits Of the gener
al fund. The firm stand taken

forcement of revenue laws, com
pelling mining and railroad cor
porations to pay their just taxes
also large factor in the increas-
ing valuation Of the county. The
taxes from the railroad alone
show an increase from SIG, 451, y
in 1905 to S37, 825.42 in 1908, an
advance Of S11, 1870.
The tax payers Of Yuma coun-
tw have all participated in the
accrued benefits of this material
addition to the assessment roll.
The wisdom displayed by these
party leaders has placed the
taxes equally upon all property
owners in just proportion, with
the result Of a lower tax rate for
all the people.
The republicans have wiped
out the county debt and reduced
the tax rate in spite of the hand

HIS SCHOOL WORK

The voters of Yuma county
will demand the reelection of
Judge Joseph Godfrey. not be-
cause he is u republican, but be-
cause be typities Progress and
Patriotism. He stands for love
and reverence Of American
schools and American insti-
tutions. 1t is an appeal that will
have the sanction Of every father
and mother and every patriotic
citizen of Yuma county, that the
schools here should be placed IN
the front rank of educational
progress. This has been the aim
and achievement Of Judge God
frey. For that purpose he APP
pearcd before the board of su-
pervisors and urged them for an
increased levy for school pur
poses. He wanted money enough
to equip the schools in first class
condition, economically but
enough to cover all necessary
expenses for the school term.
He wished to provide the public
schools with sufficient funds to
secure the best teachers the Nor
nal Schools and the Universities
of the country could produce.
To do this it was necessary to
pay the teachers salaries, CON-
mensurate with the work of
those who give the best years of
their lives to the training of our
boys and girls. Judge Godfrey
favors paying reasonable sal
aries to those who mould the
children into ideal citizens and
husbands, and leal womanhOod
and motherhood.
Through his efforts the reserve
school fund was promptly dis
tributed for the benefit of the en-
tire county. The Crane school
received S808.89 for furthering
che interests of education in its
district. The Kofa school APP
portionment was increased from
S600.00 to S1346.58, and the Wen
dendale school appropriation Of
$4,000 was made S92C.22 These
6gures mean a larger increase Of
gain to the children of the com
munity than the dollars could
possibly express, and there is no
public money so we'll expended
as that which goes to the build
ing of good citizens.
No man in the office has ever
done as much for Yuma county
schools as Judge Godfrey. He
has watched them all with inf
mite care and a deep, personal,
intelligent working ieterest which
every teacher of the county's
schools has been quick to appre-
ciate and which has found a re-
sponsive echo in most homes
where there are children. Every
penny of the school fund is
guarded with the zeal of man
who knows the incalculable value
of education to the young and of
the educated man to the com
monwealth in the quality of citi
zenship.
A vote for Judge Godfrey is d
vote to increase the welfare of
the children.
