MAY FIGHT RATHER ~
THAN PAY TAXES

Arizona's Navajo Indians in
Apache county may have to pay
the state taxes on their herds of
sheep grazing off the reserva-
ton. Trouble is likely to ensue
between the Indians and the
state if an attempt is made to
collect the taxes.
The Arizona state tax COM
mission is in receipt of a letter
from c. S. Love, assessor of
Apache county. in reference to
the matter and the commission
has cited Love to an opinion
rendered by the attorney gen.
e aI in a similar case in 1914 in
Navajo county in which@a a ruling
was made that the taxes are
collectable. o. tbs sll
Regardless of the 1914 decis-
ion, the taxes were not collected
from the Navajos in Navajo
county for a change in district
attorneys occurred about that
time, the new official being un-
willing to proceed with the col
lection.
A good many years ago an at
tempt was made to collect the
tax and war almost followed.
Since the tax commission has
notified Love that the class of
property is absolutely assessa-
bic, the outcome of the attempt
to collect the taxes will be
awaited with interest. Phoenix
Gazette. II
Altho these Indians do not
pay taxes or bear any of the
burdens of the county or state
government, they are permitted
to take up homesteads and allot-
ments of grazing land off their
re servation, thus shutting out
people who might become per-
manent and valuable settlers.
There are several thousand
sheep, goats and cattle belong
ing to Indians that are grazed
the year around between the
railroad and the Navajo reser-
vation in this county that might
contribute considerable revenue
to the county treasury in taxes
if the proper officers had the
ambition to make the assess
ment.
Whenever these Indians lose.
any stock by theft they are.
quick to ask for aid from the
sheriff but refuse to contribute
anything toward the upkeep of
the government.
If poor Lo is unwilling to pay
a just proportion of taxes on his
stock running on the public do
main he should be moved back
to the reservation, where he be-
longs, and the range opened to
people who are willing to bear
the burdens of citizenship.

From The Journal?

The Journal has often said
that we have the best paying
list of subscribers Of any paper
in Arkansas. There is no joke
about this, either; its true as
Gospel. Usually they keep
paid right up, and many Of
them year in advance. But
the past two years have been
unusually hard ones, account
of the drouth last year and the
overflow this year, and we find
that quite a number Of our sub
cribers have gotten behind. So
as fast as we can get to them,
we are mailing out statements
to all subscribers in arrears. " e
hope all who can do SO will re-
spond promptly. The Journal
has incurred heavy expenses IN
putting in new machinery and
we have heavy obligations to
meet that will makeit Unnecessary
for us to collect as closely as
up promptly, as you have al
ways done. A dollar or two is
small amount but when sever
al hundred or a thousand per-

it amounts to a good deal to US.

BENEFIT OF CLUB
WORK Is APPARENT
State Agent Jernigan Discusses
Importance of Boys and Girls
Club Work in Arkansas

W. j. Jernlgan, state agent
for the Boys and Girls Club
work in Arkansas, declares that
the most important and valu-
able crop in the state isthe crop
of boys and girls in Arkansas.
Mr.. Jernigan estimates there
are about 275,000 boys and
girls between the ages of 10
and Is on Arkansas farms and
as these youngsters are eligible
to club membership he believes
he and his assistants should
have nearly that number in the
club membership this year. Last
year Arkansas enrolled only g.
600 boys and girls in corn, pig,
canning an poultry clubs, only
a little more than two per cent
of the possible enrolment. Mr..
Jernigan contends that if the
parents, teachers, preachers,
bankers, and merchants would
get behind this movement Ark
ansas would lead the whole
country. He says no state has
more interested set of bankers
and that everybody seems in
terested and yet the figures
don't prove enough general in
terest.
Mr.. Jernlgan says that Ran
dolph county, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Kizer as farm and home
demonstration agents, reported
last year about 400 boys and
girls in the clubs out of total
of about 1000 boys and girls
between the ages of 10 and Is
or 10 per cent. If this record
had been made in all the coun-
ties the club membership would
have been 27,500 instead of g.
900. No county with a county
demonstration agent was with
out its list of club members and
only ten counties failed to re-
port a club membership last
last year. This year Mr.. Jerni-
gan wants to find a loyal lead
er for this work in each county
that has no county agent. Then
he hopes for a much more gen.
eral support of the work in
many of the other counties. He
lis greatly encouraged with the
fine response from bankers who
are offering prizes for corn and
canning clubs, and for financ-
ing pig and poultry clubs.
There will practically be no
changes in the plans or rules of
the club work this year. There
will be corn clubs, pig clubs,
peanut clubs, cotton clubs, can
ming clubs, poultry clubs and a
few butter-llaking clubs. Can
ming clubs will not be organic
ed generally in counties that do
not have home demonstration
agents nor pig clubs in counties
where there is no farm agent,
except that special clubs in a
given neighborhood may be or
ganized if a good leader can be
secured. As there will be this
year about so counties with
men agents and 35 counties
with women agents, Mr.. Jerni-
gan, Miss Emma Archer and
H. K. Sanders, his assistants,
hope to have at least 10000
boys and girls in this club work,
but say the list should reach
10000. They say if farmers,
teachers, preachers, bankers,
women, club members and 9TH
ers would get busy right now
begin now 20 boost for a big
membership it would reach that
number. Mr.. Jernigan has just
written a new bulletin giving
rules and regulations for the
club work that will be sent to
any adult on request. Copies
will be sent ooys and girsl when
their names are sent in asmem-
bers. Mr.. Jernigan should be
addressed at the old statehouse
Little Rock.

bic. 1t follows that Mr.. Easlcy, under
tho act itself. would be entitled to a
new four-Sear term. subject 70 tho
boards right to remove.
QUESTION COMPLICATED
ny DEFECTS IN STATUTE
The matter is complicated by tho fact
that while the law did not become
effective until June II. 1t undertook to
direct an election on May /. Mr.
Easlcy takes tho view that tho con-
tradictions becloud the whole matter of
the Tax Boards power to remove pres
ent examiners of records. and, il his
views are shared by his legal advisers
no intends to test the act by an appeal
TO the State Supreme Court
The section Of tho law which is
relied upon by those who uphold its
legality to cure the defects and guar
nntee the Tax Boards powers reads as
follows:
THE terms Of the examiners of
records heretofore appointed by the
several circuit courts OF the Common
wealth shall expire on May 80, 1916.
or rs soon thereafter as their Successors
have been appointed and qualified. ex-
cept that tho terms OF examiners OF
records declared acceptable by tho
board, as above provided, shall end on
May l. 1920. unless sooner removed by
the board"
Acting under the authority conferred
by this section, the Tax Board Fri
day adopted a resolution declaring
vacant the cNaminerships OF the First,
Sixth, Twenty-se and Twenty
fourth Circuits, and appointing new
men to succeed the incumbcrts. It
also announced that the hoard will at
the end OF the present calendar year
consider the appointment OF all eN-
aminers of records. including the four
just appointed.

tended to include many others among
tho most prominent citizens of the cir
cult. i mention the above for the rca-
son that they had personal knowledge
OF tho character and extent OF my
work"
SAYS BOARD HAS NO
AUTHORITY TO REMOVE HIM
In Mr. Easley's opinion, the Tax Board
is without authority to remove him
for Mt least two years. The opinion
is based on certain apparently contra
dictory provisions OF the act OF March
90, 1915. which undertakes to make
examiners appointive and removable by
the board instead OF by the circuit
courts. as has been the practice in the
past.
This act became law OH June IL. 1t
provides at the outset that the state
Tax Board shall appoint an examiner
Of records for each judicial circuit Of
the State on or before May 1, 1916, and
every two years thereafter. The term
for which examiners so appointed
shall serve is left blank.
The same section enlarges upon APP
pointive function as follows:
Provided. however. if any or all of
the present examiners of record are
acceptable TO the said Advisory Board
on Taxation the board shall by reso-
luton 30 declare, in which event any
OF said officers declared to be accept
able shall remain in office for n term
Of four years from May I, 1916, but
shall be subject to removal by the
board as above set out"
Since the act did not become law
until June II. 1t was nnanifestly I'M
possible for tho Tax Board to comply
with the first provision. directing it to
appoint an examiner for each judicial
circuit on or before May 1. Having
failed to make the appointments or
that date Mr.. Easley holds, the act
itself prescribes that the next appoint
ing period shall be two years later.
Neither. Mr.. Easley points out, has
the board complied with the second pro.
vision, directing It to declare by reso.
tuition II any or all of the present ex.
aminers are acceptable to 1t. If the
boards failure 10 prepare such a reso-
luton Is to be construed as declaring
NIL OF the present examiners accepta.
