TREASURER ALLOWED EXTRA
 HELP ON TAX RECEIPTS

Because of complications resu ting from the se Ini-annual payment of tax ts, County Treasurer Ross will be given additional help by the 5 oard oi Supervisors to assis, in writing up the tax receipts so that the taxpayers may be accommodated before taxes become d1 linquent. which they do on Novcm- Der lst. six weeks earlier than last year. It will also be necessary that Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. A. (. Karger be given additional help. who not only will have the work oi making the changes in the tax roll that have been ordered by the state past week. and figunng the amount of taxes in each account.
 As Mir Katger cannot begin the lat ter work until August l6. when the board fixes the rate and as the taxes are payable on the first Monday in Septembert .he treasurer and clerkare going 10 be badly pushed for time.
 There are approximately 5000 ac- counts for Mir. Karger to figure out 9 900 receipts for the treasurer and his deputies to write out and about S450, 900 to collect. Even if the treas urer's office receives the tax roll by the middle of September, they are go ing toshave extraordinarily busy times between then and November Ist and ;he 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 privi- leges the property owner to pay the full amount al one time instead Of half. The second half of the taxes do not become due until the irst Mon day in March and delinquent the first Monday in May. Treasurer Ross is devising a carbon plan whereby the 'two tax receipts can be made out sim ultaneously. This will save much next spring, but will make more work al the present time. because of the splitting of the odd sums between the twJ receipts
 The practice of sending out notices although not required by law will be adhered to as before. because the general public is not familiar with the semi annual payment law and would be sure to le. taxes go delinquent un- less especially notified.
 While the treasurers off ce will not have all the tax receipts ready by September 6th, those who wish to pay at that time will be accommodated. the receipts will be made out when they call,
 The old law made taxes payable thel third Monday in Septe euber and de- inquent the second Modnay in De. cem ber The new law makes due the | first Monday in September and delin- { quent the first monday in November 1 The shortening of time in which the ' officials have to get ready for the eager taxpayer results from the fact that the 1 tsme for fixing the rate was not also advanced. but remains the third Mon- | day in August.

Rare Collection
pass on the question

Rare Collection
 C. L. Cummings president of the First National Bank yesterday received form Globe. three rare Indian baskets. from the San Carlos reservation. These are the largest and rarest of this kind in Arizona. and MT. Cummings says he secured them through great effort. Mir Cummings has one of the best Indian basket and rurio collections in Arizona. representing years of patient collecting at a great expense. In his vast collec- ton of baskets there are not two alike, each one. having described upon it fig ures. which. according to Indian le- gend. tells compNte story. and prob- ably represents seasons work by the maker. The addition of the three large baskets to his collection makes it. with out doubt. the most complete to be found in Arizona.

In the history of musical shows
Tacoma has never seen anything
like THE Whirl of the World"
There's so many girls In the show
that II you started counting them
they would be Off stage and on
again In a new costume before
you had finished.
The stars include Texas GUM
an, Eugene and Willie Howard,
Elizabeth Goodall, John r. MUIR
ray, Lucille Cavanaugh, Juliette
Lippe and a score of others. The
scenery is massive and spectacu-
lar, especially the big spectacle of
the sailing OF the "Vaterland' and
the scenic marvel of the burning
ship at sea.
THE Whirl of the World" is
all music and fun. It's easily the
best show Of the season. The en-
gagement closes tonight.

they knew that something was to
