MONEY IN The DAIRY COW

All over this southwestern coun.

receive marked attention. In east
ern New Mexico she has already
made good and is doing her full
part IN promoting the prosperous
deVelopmentof that section. Around
Pecos, Texas, she is coming into her
own, creamery companies almost
hghtlng for her product. At Fort
Stockton and other west Texas points
the same conditions prevail. In
many portions OF Arizona and south
ern New Mexico there is a general
disposition to organize creameries
and invest in the dairy COW, and it
IS movement that should be gen
orally encouraged.
Dairy products of all kinds find a

Cotton is almost a drug on the

Prices received for dairy products
remain fairly constant. Cotton

THE COST OF ALCOHOL

At times in the past we have dis
covered in Russian official statistics
the deeply imag native quality which
is one Of the Saws grand character
istics Nevertheless, the following
statement by the Russian Minister
of Finance, at Paris. as reported by
cable, deserves consideration:
The suppression of the govern
ment alcoho! monopoly entailed Il
diminution of four hundred and
seventy million rubIes"-roughIy
halfas many doIars-"!n the budget
Of 1914; but the Lenehts of this sup
preston are already felt. Though
it was feared the calling of so many
men to the cOl0is would seriously
embarrass industry, it has been
found that, thanks to the suppress
sion of the traffic in alcohol, the re-
suits of labor are from thirty to
fifty per cent higher than before" I"
Increasing a nations productivity
from thirty to fifty per cent, by
turning it from a drunken to sober
one, would be a stroke of absoutist
craftsmanship before which recent
democratic efforts for the ameijOra-
ton of mankind's lot would look
patchy. 1t is true, however, that
democratic craftsmanship had much

The OLD VIRGINIA REEL

There came up through my window
One summer afternoon
On the bosom Of the breezes
An old time happy tune;
A tune that always gladdens
Be it times of woe or veal;
Twas an old time fiddler playing
The old Virginia reel.
A masters hand was wanting
Perhaps to WELD the bow;
But the notes were full of visions
Of the happy long ago,
And the hand of time unloosened
From the past golden seal
And youth again | glided
Through the old Virginia reel.
Clasped again the hand of beauty
To whose heart the pressure told,
With heart of understanding
That story sweet and old,
Told her first with tender glances
] can see that old musician
As he sat with half closed eyes;
AS we glided through the changes
What the tongue dare not reveal,
Of the old Virginia reel.
! can hear the music bursting
Into laughter, song and sighs;
] can hear the prompter calling,
Beating time with toe and heel,
While our nimble feet went flying
Through the old Virginia reel.
There are flowers that have faded
And long since lost their bloom,
But the ashes of their memory
Are fraught with sweet perfume;
Still their beauty and their fragrance
Like phantoms round me steal
When hear some old time fiddler
Play the old Virginia reel.
My dancing days are over
But my sweetheart still is mine,
Though the snow drifts through tn,
tresSes
Where the sunbeams used to twine
AS hold her hand this evening,
'Tis the same heart throbs | feel
AS when we led the dancers
Through the old Virginia reel.

COUNTY SEAI REMOVAL

The county seat removal election
is the all absorbing question of the
day. Whenever two citizens of the
valley meet, the principal theme for
conversation is the removal OF the
county seat, and the incest thing
about the whole matter is that thr
question is discussed In the best OF
humor, not tinge of bitterness is
heard on any side, and this is as it
should be.
The removal of the county seat is
a momentous question and one
worth the study and deep considera
ton of every citizen. There appears
to be no doubt in the minds of the
people as to the necessity Of new
court house, which would carry out
the idea of progressive people, and
the people of Graham county. no
matter what town they live in. are
giving daily the evidence that the
feeling is strong for every plan that
tends to progressiveness and that
will bring about better conditions
for the people as a whole.
The feeling of pride for their
county is manifest on every side,
hence the selection of a new county
seat is in line with the best though
of the people of each of the towns
that are Candidates for the count!
seat.
The people of Stafford realize the
fact that the people of Thatcher and
Pima are right in their ambition to
be chosen as the new county seat III
the coming election. Ptile for th,ir
town and the natural desire for the
improvements that make better
town puts them to the front at this
time and this feeling should be com
mended.
Stafford dors not and cannot lose
any thing by displaying at all times
toward its opponents in the race for
the county seat that feeling of
brotherhood that is sure to bring
about the cooperation that will make
their county the best county in the
State.
In stating their reasons why it
should be chosen as the new county
seat of Graham county, the people
of Stafford are displaying the same
spirit of progressiyeness that they
commend in the people Of Thatcher
and Pima. And with the full know.
ledge that their town is progressive
and that it has reached the point
when they can honestly say with the
best of feeling to their opponents,
that their town has shown in every
way its right to the honor of being
chosen as the new county seat.

NOT A GOOD REASON

In the last issue of the Arizon;
Bulletin there appeared an articl
under the caption Of County Sea-
Removal" " hich advised the pPOp'
of the county to vote against an
increase in taxes through the re
moval of the court house
The article was not clear on til
subject of increased taxation whlc@
would come with the removal of IT,,
county seat from Solomouvilje t.
another town in the valley ard the
building of new court house /
sought only to tell the people tha,
they should vote against county sea-
removal, bringing in the questioi
of increased taxation as a penalty
for being progressive and up, to-date
Let us see what the cost woulC
really be and what the increase
taxation would amount to:
If a new court house was built a
a cost of sac, 900. the money wou',
be secured through a bond lssue
and the plan would te for the bunds
to run twenty years, at So per cen
interest, maybe less.
At 81 per cent on bonds of tn
amount of $40 600, with the assessr:
valuation of the county at $40, ,00O.
600, the rate would be % cents on (;
thousand dollars.
A taxpayer who is assessed al :
valuation of $4,000. would pay S
cents as his tax for the yearly in
terest on the bonds up to ten years,
if the assessed valuation of tn,
county remained at $4,000, 900
But it would lie even less than q
cents on $1,000, as the assessed va
uation of the county is sure to /,
over $40, 900, 600 as time goes on
With a sinking fund to take W
the bonds each year after ten years
has expired, the assessment would
gradually be less in each succeeding
year.
In any event, with the total as
sessed valuation of the county a;
$l0,000,n00, or more. the increased
burden of ta1 alton will hardly ap.
peal to the taxpayers of Graham
county as good reason for not re.
moving the county seat or to buiiG
modern court house, such as il
needed in a progressive county.
An assessment of % cen4s on
$1,000, with the certainty that even
this amount would be less than half
as the bonds matured and were
paid, can hardly be used as an argu.
ment in favor of voting against
county seat removal.
The intelligent taxpayer of Ora.
ham county will readily see that the
increased burden of taxation, as sci
forth in the Bulletins article, is no,
good reason to vote NO against
the removal o; the county seat.
