gives man a sense Of equality; one
man becomes just as important as an
other man, and it also gives man a
sense of responsibility-the feeling
that the fate of his country
may depend in part upon him-the
same sentiment that Nelson appealed

What our young men and women
need in this time of peace is to re-
ceiye like vision of duty and respon-

young men may never be called upon
to undergo what the men of England,
France, Russia and Germany are un-
dergoing. God grant these young
women may never be called upon to
endure what their European sisters
are now enduring. But, whenever
the time comes when our nation is in
peril God grant they may show a

heroism; like willingness to give
their lives, their all, for the common
good God grant they may show the
same spirit the men of our own race
have always shown in the hour of
need.

of the high quality CT the youths our

MUST KEEP COMPANY
!. BOOKS IN ARIZONA
Commission Makes Radical Order To
Take Effect on June 1.

Public service corporations operat-
ing in Arizona must keep their books
records and accounts in this state
hereafter according to an order is-
sued by the corporation commission.
and which is being forwarded to all
electric, gas, water and street rail-
way corporations in the state. The
order becomes effective June 1.
A number of corporations operat-
ing exclusively in Arizona, but which
are owned or controlled by individ-
uals or corporations outside of the
state have been keeping their books
and accounts in other states for some
time, and it is to meet this situation
as well as to answer the applications
of number of other similarly con-
trolled concerns that the commission
issued its order. Administration of
the laws, which necessitate frequent
audits and examinations, and the de-
STABILITY of having facts concerning
operation and expense are given in
the order as among the reasons for
this arrangement. Books and ac-
counts are to be kept at the princi-
pal place of doing business in this
state.

.SEME-ANNUAL TAXES
WOULD COST PUBLIC
A BIG sum
County Treasurer, Lyons of GiIa
County, Says Measure Passed BY
Z Legislature is Bad.
REFERENDUM PETITIONS OUT.
ella Taxpayers Would Lose from
$4,000 to $4,000 If Law Mere Ef-
fective.

| GLOBE, May 1.-THE semi-annua1
payment of taxes as provided for by
house bill Il, which was passed at
the first session of the second state
Legislature is meeting with wide
spread opposition throughout the
state.
County Treasurer Lyons yesterday
characterized the bill as a most
vicious piece of legislation as it now
his statement that should the bill
become operative it would create
a deficiency of $4,000 to $4,000
! in the general fund of Gila county
and the public schools would be COM
PEELED to close in January through
lack of funds as one payment of
the taxes would be collected after
the school year had closed.
Further, the treasurer stated the
people would be compelled to pay
an additional rate of from 20 to 25
per cent because of losing the one
payment and through the added ex-
pense and loss of interest On the
money to the county.
Beginning Monday ten petitions
| will be circulated in every county
of the state in order to block the
bill until the next general election
when it will be submitted to the
people.
The following communication is
being sent TO every county treasurer
| in the state:
Dear Sir:
If House Bill IL, providing for the
semfannual collection of taxes, as at
present framed, were allowed to be
come effective it would have a very
disastrous effect on the finances, par
ticularly the school funds of this
county, and don't doubt your county
would find itself in the same pre-
dicament.
| I thought that the matter might
be taken up at the special session of
| the Legislature and amended or re-
pealed, but since it appears that no
relief can be expected from that
quarter, our county board has de
cided to ask the cooperation of all
the county boards in the state in Sc
curing signatures to referendum
petition and submit the matter to
the people at the next general cleo
tion.
My purpose in writing to the
county treasurers of the state is to
upon the supervisors the necessity
for prompt action, for they, better
than any one else, know what the
effect of this legislation is bound to
be.
According to law this petition
must be filed with the secretary of
state within ninety days after the ad-
journment of the session of the
legislature at which the measure was
passed, so no time is to be lost in
getting started. If your board will
cooperate with us, or in the event
of their failure to do so, and you
will handle the matter yourself, we
will furnish you with the necessary
blanks so that the expense to your
county will be very little, and be-
sides, this will insure uniformity.
Please let me know as soon as
possible whether you are in favor
of this movement, and how it strikes
the board of supervisors.
Yours very truly,
NJ. LYONS,

COUNTY SEAT WILL
Be MOVED IN
GRAHAM GO.
Election Held Last Tuesday Decisive
Iy Settles This Question But An
other Election is Made Necessary
to Decide Where the County Seat
Shall Be Located.

Graham county was the scene of a
red hot election on Tuesday of this
week, the issue being the removal of
the county seat from Solomonville.
By a vote of 1923 to 160 the voters
decided upon. a removal of the coun-
ty seat, but no town in the county re-
ceived a majority of the total vote
cast, consequently another election
for the location of the county seat
will be held sometime in July with
Pima and Stafford the contestants as
these two towns received the high
est vote in the election of Tuesday.
The unofficial returns are as fol-
lows:
For county seat removal. yes 1928;
no, 100.
For Stafford -. -. ...... 9S3
For Thatcher. ..... -. .... 443
For Central. -. -. ...... 5
Under the County Seat Removal
law where no town receives the ma
jority of all the votes cast the Board
of Supervisors must call another
election and the only contestants for
the location of the county seat shall
be the two towns receiving the high
est number of votes at the first cleo
ttion. In this case the only towns ap-
pearing on the ballot next July will
be Stafford and Pima and it is the ex-
pectation that Stafford will be chosen
over Pima as 1t is predicted that a
number of Thatcher votes will be
thrown to Stafford, its nearest neigh
Dor, since it mas been demonstrated
that Thatcher cannot secure the coun-
ty seat.

MINING CLAIMS ARE
TAXABLE PROPERTY
SAYS j. S. COURT
Important Decision Handed Down at
Washington in Santa Cruz Tax Case
Affecting Unpatented Mining Claims

PHOENIX, May 5.-That mining
claims are property in the fullest
sense of the word, distinct from the
land itself, vendible, inheritable and
taxable, is the decision of the supreme
court, handed down yesterday in the
case of Frank and Josephine Pow
ers VS.. R. R. Earhart, treasurer and
ex-officio tax collector of Santa Cruz
county. The case which was brought
to secure the repayment of taxes paid
under protest on the Harshaw group
of mining claims, was reversed and
remanded with directions to sustain
the demurrer and dismiss the action.
In it's opinion the supreme court de-
fines mining claims as right to en-
gage in mining operations, and as in
no way affecting the ownership of the
land, which in this case was vested
in the United States. The court held
that the state had tthe power to tax
the mining claims in question and that
If it had been necessary to enforce
collection of the tax by a sale of the
such sale would have con-
veyed merely the right of possession
and affected no interest of the United
States.
