full amount of such deposits"
During the year quite an amount
has been invested in non-taxable mu-
nicipal Dor Is, and in United States
bonds. These investments were, in
every case, made to avoid taxes. And
other investments are made that are
taxable, but not returned. In our
town the rate is a little over 3 per
cent Realty is assessed at about one
third to one-f1fth of its value, making
the rate equivalent to about l per
cent while money is taken at its full
face, making the rate a little over 8
per cent. AS long as this lasts money
will not be returned, and people can
not be blamed for not making proper
returns. If the taxes were just and
equal, most of it would be returned.
think realty should be assessed at
about 40 per cent of it's true value,
and money should be taxed at not to
exceed l per cent for any and all pur-
poses. with heavy penalty for not max
ing proper returns"
"In our community the rule is that
between January 1st and April 1st
most of the investments held. such as
notes and mortgages. are paid off and
reinvested. During the last few years
this reinvestment has to a large ex-
tent been in non-taXable bonds. | be-
lieve that some revision of our tax
laws should be made, and if could be
of any service along that line l would
be pleased to have you call upon me-"
1--WE attribute it to the desire to es-
cape taxation that $4,000 was with
drawn from our bank during the week
previous to assessment day. Our aver
age deposits are about $4,000.
I'VE are heartily in favor of the pro-
posed taxation amendment and hope
that it will be adopted"
II beg to advise that the withdraw
ais of deposits during assessment
week and because of the assessment
period, was considerable amount,
considering the small amount of de-
posits a small bank like us would
naturally have. l would estimate the
amount at between $4,000 and $780,
600, and think it is a custom that is
practiced throughout the state. don't
see why your plan is not a good one"
"Our deposits run down during as.
sessment week in each year from
10000 to $50,OOO AS our deposits
average 100000, the percentage
would be from ~ to IL per cent.
If tax inquisitors are allowed to
inspect bank books it might mean
ruination, as 1t might be impossible to
call in enough loans to meet the drain
on deposits. We are therefore very
much interested in having the laws on
taxes adjusted with justice, and In a
spirit of fairness"
"The investment of money prior to
tax listing day in non-taxable securi.
ties, amounts with us to several hun.
dred thousand dollars annually"

corner saloon near the Mill avenue

saloon was opened in east Tempe but
as it was almost contemporaneOus
with the closing of one in that end of
town. the odds are even. Rumor now
has it that the room in the Andre

LARGE CATTLE SHIPMENT.

Hurley & Basserman yesterday
shipped 1919 head of fine beef cattle to
Brey Brothers & Cooper in Denver.
The shipment filled seven stock cars.
These cattle were purchased from
stock raisers in the valley by Hurley
and Bosserman and driven to the local
stock yards for loading. Heretofore
the majority of the shipments from
this section has been to California
points, but as the valley becomes more
widely advertised and the merits of
the beef cattle raised here and fed the
year round on green feed. buyers from
Colorado and other northern states are
entering the field for a share of this
product and thus a wider and more
general trade is being rapidly created
in this direction.

VENICE OF AMERICA

Venice of America is fourteen miles
from Los Angeles.
The most unique Beach resort on
the Pacific coast.
Among it's MANY attractions is the
largest dance pavilion in the world, the
largest skating rink in the world and
the largest and finest bath house and
plunge on the Pacific coast. Open all
the time.
One of the advantages that Venice
has over resorts is the fact that one
can secure at a. most moderate cost.
beautiful and attractive villas and
bungalows ranging from seventeen
dollars and half to thirty-five dol
lars a month, which includes light,
water and laundry. These villas are
situated on the Venice canals, con-
veniently near to the ocean.
Venice is also well supplied with
first-class restaurants at popular pric-
es and every thing that goes to make
up for high class Seaside resort.
Those who wish to bring teams, will
find first class stable accommodations
at moderate prices.
Perhaps one of the greatest attrac-
tons of Venice is it's equitable cli-
mate. From May until November, the
thermometer hardly varies.
To those who wish to secure
pleasant summer vacation for moderate
costs, Venice of America certainly
should be it.

Several parties have been heard to
complain that mosquitoes are again
making their appearance. A year ago
these same parties would buy a few
yards of mosquito netting or a little
dope at the drug store and fight it
out with the bugs for the rest of the
summer. However, since the crusade
was started a month or so ago, these
parties have grown so accustomed to
the absence of the pests that the mere
hum of one makes them think a
thousand are in the air and they COM
