 There was no motive shown, the county attorney further stated, for either Wingar, Cody or McKinncn to kin the foreman of the Carney mine unless he had come upon one of the parties on the Broiy claims on the day in question, in which case. the probabilities are there would have been some shooting. But it was shown that neither Wingar nor Cody could have been in the claims that day.

PUBLIC LENDS
 WILLING HAND
All Are Glad to Help With Early Completion of Tomb stone Canyon Road-Clos- ing Hours Accepted

We are appreciative of the atti- tude taken by the public with ref erence to the closing of the Tomb stone canyon road" said Chairman Hickey of the Board of Supervisors yesterday Everybody appears to have accepted the closing order in the spirit in which 1t was promul- gated and to be glad to lend assist. ance. to the end of getting the read completed as quickly as possible and consequently with the largest possi- ble saving of money to the taxpayers. With the road closed to traffic and the public accepting the closing in the cooperative way that it is. fine progress Is being made with the work and 1t will be completed in even less time than at first figured. and consequently with still larger saving than the six per cent that wee promised"
 Under the order prevailing from the board of supervisors. the canyon road is closed daily to traffic be tween the hours Of 8 a. m. and D. m. Traffic has regulated itself to the change without comment, ether than that 1t is glad to help facilitate the work. Inconvenience is of course occasioned by some people. but these are putting aside their own interests willingly snoush for the general good.

been based. These suggestions should be funished, of course. when the work of assessment is going on so that comparisons and adjustments can be made in ample time and not when 1t is too late to adopt the suggestions. The assessors department should have all aid available to le able to cry out SC important task as Is before them every year. It is there fore particularly important, in the in- terest of all property owners that the fullest publicity should prevail as to real estate values.
 This leads 10 the query: Since real estate is the basis Of all munici- pal assessment and taxation, and since it is SO difficult for the assessor to determine the true realty value, why not dequire every deed to stipulate the price at which the property is transferred Such requirement would be an unfalling guide to the assessor and 1t would prove an addl- tional aid of great importance. II 1t be considered undesirable to have the actual transfer price of assess ment could be subserved by filing with the deed an affidavit stating the actual selling price, the affidavit 10 be a private record fer the guidance or the assessors.

WOULD PROVIDE A
 LINE 0N VALUES

PHOENIX. Jan. 2S.-Tna; a;i deeds involving the sale of real estate should show the price at which the property te transferred Is advocated by Dick Erdmans who has offices in the board of trade building of this city
 Mr. Erdmans believes publicity as to the amounts of money paid for property would have a salutary ef. feet on taattion and assessment. He approves of the recent change in the assessment of realtyb y which the old classifications were wiped out and all the property assessed at the full value. He says a better board of as- sessment can be obtained by appoint. ment rather than by popular election and that politics often caused ire. euent changes in the personnel of the assessors office, with the result that efficiency is impaired
 The problem of providing adequate revenues to meet the constantly in. creasing municipal expenditures presses heavily upon Sle administra- tive authorities of every modern mu- nicipality. On the one side Is the insistent demand for economy, and and on the other the imperative need oG essential municipal improvements Increased population brings increased municipal responsibilities and serv ives, but 1t also causes an increase in taxable values. Wise planning, careful financiering, efficient and eco nomical distribution of the expendi- ture are essential, if necessary i'm. provements shall not press too large ly upon the taxpayer or endanger the credit of the city.
 "Of course, every community as rule, whether its tax rate is high or low, whether asses sments be full or partial, will have it's quota of dis. grunuei citizens who complain about high taxes. More and more, however, thoughtful people are beginning to realize that the amount of taxes is not the only, CT even the most inn portant question involved in taxation.
 lhough proper and equitable as- sessment of real estate lies at the base of all municipal finance, scant attention has been given to it until the last few years. We have hardly got past the stage of blaming the as. sessor Until some more satisfactory system of assessing property is de. yised the assessor VIII receive criti. cism and abuse.
 Tn view of the difficulties and diff ferences of opinion in appraising real estate. the assessors should invite and receive the hearty cooperation of real estate eperts in making assessments. They should make 1t understood that they welcome suggestions from those acquainted with values as to proper units upon which the assessment has
