Semi-AnnuaI Payment of Taxes Puts
Double Work on Several County
Officers; Tax Payers Can Now Pay
at Two Seasons

TOMBSTONE, Aug. q (SpeciaD-
Because of complications resulting
from the semi-annual payment of tax
es, County Treasurer Ross will be CIV
en- additional help by the Board of
Supervisors to assist in writing up the
tax receipts SO that the tax payers
may be Accommodated before taxes be-
come delinquent, which they do on
November LIST, six weeks earlier than
last year. 1t will also be necessary
that Clerk of the Board of SupeEvis-
ors, A. C.. Karger, be given additional
help, who will not only have the work
of making the changes in the. tax roll
that have been ordered by the State
tax commission at Flagstaff during
the past week,an figuring the
amount of taxes in each account.
AS Karger cannot begin the latter
work until August 16, when the Board
fixes the rate and as the taxes are
payable on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, the treasurer and clerk are
going to be badly pushed for time.
There are approximately 5000 ac-
counts for the clerk to figure out; 5000
receipts for the treasurer and his
deputies to write out and about $3.50,
900 to. collect. Even if the treasurer's
office receives the tax roll by the
middle of September they will have
extraordinarily busy times between
the; and November 1. The crowded
condition of that office does not help
matters any and some of the help will
have to work in other offices during
the day on the rolls.
The semi-annual payment law priv
Hedges the property owner to pay the
-erT11 nj ftV1n DcnfA ,f
half. The second half of the taxes do
not become due until the first Mon
day in March and delinquent the first
Monday In May. Treasurer Ross is de-
visfng carbon plan, whereby the two
tax receipts can be made out stimuli
-taneously. This will save much work
next spring, but will make more work
at the present time, because of the
splitting of the odd sums between the
two receipts.
The practice of sending out notices,
although not required by law, will be
adhered to as before because the gen
eral public is not familiar with the
semi-anrual payment law and would
be sure to let their taxes go delin-
quent unless especially notified.
While the treasurer's office will not
have all the tax receipts ready by
September 9th, those who wish to pay
at that time will be Accommodated.
The receipts will be made out when
they call. .:s
The old law made taxes payable the
third Monday in September and del
inQuent the second Monday In Decem-
Der. The new law makes them due
the first Monday In September and
delinquent the first Monday in Novem
Der. The shortening of time in which
the officials have to get ready for the
eager tax payer results from the fact
that the time for fixing the rate was
not also advanced, but remains the
third Monday in August.

COTTON IS
UNJNJURED

The slight frosts Of the ccol spell Of
weather did not injure the cotton crop
of this section, according to Agricul-
turaI Agent o. c. Cooper. Mr.. Cooper
says that the cotton bears no marks
of an evil effect from the frost what
ever, that late corn is absolutely safe,
and that the only vegetation. besides
the weeds, which shows any markings
from Jack Frost's hands is the un-
ripened tomatoes. Even these, Mr.
Cooper says, are not materially in
jured, and most prolific crop of that
toothsome vegetable will be harvested
and marketer or canned, or made into
chow-chows and catsup this fall Mr..
Cooper states that the cotton, as
rule. is decidedly late in all sections
of the county this fall as it is all over

LANDLORDS.

LANDLORDS.-As years go by l
despise more and more landlords as
a class. This is not because I owe
them anything. If anything the &C
count stands the other way. My
grievance is broader than just self-it
concerns the very life and welfare
of the people of this nation. Laws
favor landlords, but very little do
they favor tenants. If a renter signs
a lease Of a fiat or house or dwelling
that renter is held at law for the
length of that lease under all circum-
stances.
There are circumstances under
which a lease should be broken, on
the grounds of public policy-in
cases where the renters income is
shut off, his job is lost, a woman's
husband dies, or is sick OF out of
work. Tenants of that class should
break their leases in all cases where
they can find cheaper quarters to live
in. The law does not permit them to
do so, but it is a tyrannical, unjust
law.
uC uClCuuClS VI IllC uoClOu al 2
principally tenants. The parasites of
the nation are found principally in
the landlord class. Landlords, as a
rule, will and have lodged taxes,
which puts them in the criminal
class. Landlords, as a rule. come out
boldly and declare they will not let
family with children rent their places.
They are bold to go even further and
hint that they don't want their ten
ants to have children. Poor little
kiddies, kept out of the world be-
cause grasping Landlords virtually
force mammas to commit race sui
eide! Poor little deformed, idiotic,
abnormal mutilated children! The
mammas are not to blame, but the
cussed landlords are generally the
guilty criminals.

ed doctors, midwives and druggists
are the result. Who puts people in
asyIums, prisons and graves more
than landlords? l will not be easy on
them, for they do not deserve it. The
sink may leak, a faucet, the bathtub,
the bowl or the tank, but it is fifty
fifty whether the landlord will fix it at
once. There may be a broken stairs,
no hall lights or Unsanitary base
ment, but landlords bride officials and
even tell tenants to move out at once
if they report these things, which
makes landlords criminals of the
worst sort.
There ought to be some. law Fore
ing landlords to build flats or houses
in all squares equally. There should
be a certain portion of Groom fats
for newIy-wedded folks on salaries Of
from $12 to SIS per week and rents
to range the same. This could easily
be arranged so that double three
room fiat would be the same as
single six-room fiat. A certain pOr-
ton of these flats should be siX-roOm,
seven or eight, which rent for from
$50 to $45 per month. This would
give hOneymooners a chance to get
married early before they got into
trouble. At present landlords dictate
the policy of all building, so that
nearly everything is 5 to 8 rooms at
from $50 to $45 per month. The land
lords policy of building all expensive,
large flats prevents couples from
marrying, so the landlord again ranks
as a criminal, as really the biggest
producer of ilegitimates because Of
his selfish building policies. - Allen
