KIBBEY is BOOSTED
FOR GOVERNORSHIE
Fight on Increased Taxes in Arizona
Causes Republicans and Pro-
ErcssiVes TO lnite.

Phoenix, Ariz, Aug. 1S.-Since it was
announced that the state tax rate ms
year will be 49 II cents on ea-n SlOO
of a total valuation exceeding $780,
100000, a storm OF Indignation mas
gone up all over Arizona, and II mas
already resulted in an inclpIcut boom
for Joseph H Kibbey Cor governor.
Within a few days the Republicans and
'PrOgreSsIVeS" have begun TO chaISe
their plans and lay wires for the nom
inatiOn OF Kibbey instead OF Lloyd
Christy by the united parties
Last year the state tax rate was 30
cents, but the valuation was only $780,
00O,0 900. The total valuation has been
increased 16S percent the rate has
been decreased 45 percent The rate
will be lower but taxes Will be vastly
higher.
The principal complaints are COM
ing from the farmers, land owners and
merchants. Farmers in the Salt River
valley complain that their land has
been valued for taxation purposes at
more than it viii bring IN the open
market They were dissatisfied with
the valuations OF county assessor J. i.
Bone. and the tax commission MADE
flat raise OF 10 percent in Bones
figures on irrigated land
Owners of vacant lots in Phoenix
and other cities are also protesting. It
is claimed that lots in several addi-
lions of Phoenix are listed for sale
with agents at prices $500 lower than
they were valued by the assessor. Then
the tax commissioners came along and
raised vacant lots percent
Merchants make the assertion that
their stocks are valued at far more
than cost. These complaints are not
from MaricOpa county alone but from
all parts of the state.
Last year property was supposed to
be assessed for so percent of its actual
value and this year the commissioners
ordered that it be assessed for full
value.
Always quick 90 see an opportunity,
the Republicans and Bull MOOserS'
are asserting that the Democratic ad-
miniStratiOn is shamefully eXtrava-
CANT. They are preparing to unite and
night the Democrats next year on a
taxation platform. Joseph H Kibbey,
of Phoenix, has suddenly sprung into
the limelight as the logical candidate
against anyone the Democrats nom
mate for governor.
Kibbey was appointed governor Of
Arizona by president Roosevelt and
served three years. Roosevelt reap
pointed him but a mysterious fight was
made upon him at Washington and his
confirmation was held up till after
Taft became president. Taft appointed
Richard Z. Sloan TO the office, and
Sloan was the last territorial COVER
nor
Kibbey's tax record makes him an
exceedingly strong candidate for gov
ernOr. He has been out of politics ever
since he left the governors office and
perhaps he is the stronger for that
reason. Both the Republicans and
''PrOgressives' claim him.

Alcoholism Is a MaIady
II Is a Disease, as Tuberculosis Is;
The State Farm Method Is the
Humane One.
-By Ella Wheeler Wilcox --

. HE State Farm bin was pres

" HE State Farm bill was presented
to the legislature Of Connecticut
last winter, asking for an in
ebriate hospital which would be an in
stitution maintained by percent of
the states saloon license money. and the
work of the inmates It would be an
institution where treatment would be
given people who are Incorporate and
have lost control of themselves, but
who are not insane. There would be
requirements that they should work
while there and that they should be
required to remain there a certain
length of time and then leave on pa
role reporting to the institution from
time to time.
DR. H. NJ. Pollock, superintendent of
the State hospital, spoke strongly in
favor Of the bill; and it would have
passed but for the veto of the governor
Of Connecticut Of his action the Con-
necticut Citizen says:
Practically every newspaper in the
state welcomed it as good legislation,
and then governor Simeon Z. Baldwin
set his Judgment against the rest OF
the state and vetoed it when il was too
late to take ii back and pass it over
his veto"
1t is a matter for universal regret
that the governor Of Connecticut has
so limited a view of this great subject
Alcoholism is a disease, precisely as
tuberculosis is a malady, resulting from
broken laws of Elemental first and
physical afterward. No man who thinks
right, breathes right eats right and
exercises right ever has tuberculosis.
As well punish and jail a victim Of
that malady as the drunkard-
Just as the cOnsumptive is sent to
nature and shown how to restore his
normal, natural self, so should the vic
tim Of alcohol be sent to the arms Of
the great universal mother.
Just as the sick man has nurses and
doctors to see that ne has the right food
and drinks and exercise and rest and
that he does not fail in doing all the
cure demands, should the alcohol in
valid be looked after and guided and
helped to find himself
Solitary confinement, and jails. and
punishment destroy a mans hope of the
future. kill self respect and foster re-
Vengeful and cruel emotions
Work in the open. with Gods earth
below and Gods skies above, and the
moving winds about, gives a sick soul
opportunity for self communion with
ministerinS angels
The day will come when all wrong
doors Will be treated as other invalids
are treated and helped back to moral
health by constructive methods instead
of being driven down to chronic sin
fulness by brutal ones
And before that days comes alcohol
ism will be universally regarded as
malady which must be cured by natural
and scientific means instead of being
punished as a wilful crime
It is to be hoped that Connecticut
will put itself into the line OF progress
at the next election. and that when the
legislature it will meet with a prompt
approval by a humane hearted and
broad minded gOvernOr.-COpyrigh
