Maricopa county took the stand
| Thursday night in the tax conference
which was held in the state capitol.

On the other hand the Maricopa
officers have maintained that their
assessments all the way down the
line are high enough in practically
every instance to satisfy the most ex-
acting assessor or other officer in
the state. The other officers, how
ever, claim that the other counties

case, the order of the tax commits
sion in assessing the, property of
their counties at it's actual cash value.
The assertion was made Friday
morning by several outside officers
that the land in the Salt River valley
was being assessed at so per cent. of
its actual cash value when the land
in other counties was being made to
bear the brunt of the taxes of the
state.
City lots and city property were
taken up Friday morning on Mari
copa county's roll of assessments
The most notable example of assess
ments in Phoenix were the Harry

at $4,000, and according to the as

Superior Court this week decreed
that Gregorio Marin, who on July 13,

goes into effect at once.
No one will be allowed to leave or

town is closed by a heavy police guard.
The orders apply to ALL and will keep

the tong murderers will soon be
brought to time.
This is the second blockade to be
declared in Chinatown in its history.
The first one, under Chief of Police
Seymour regime, was an unqualified
success The Chinese merchants, re.
alizing that the tongmen were respOn.
sible for their empty stores, soon got
together and put the tOngs under con-
troll.
The immediate cause Of the blockade
was the killing of Gun Wing, a Suey

corted through the district by a white
detective. The staying came after the
federal authorities had ordered the
tong gun fighters to cease their actiyi-
ties.

the government and conservative news

The officials are ignoring street demon,

Japan s foreign land ownership law,
