| Conversation. the uplifting sort,
iseems to be dying out. Everybody
seems to be in too great a hurry to
stop and talk a while. Over the tea,
cups people look bored II they have to
converse longer than five minutes
with any one person. People who are
really serious are afraid nowadays to
breach any subject really worth while.
II they do. like as not they viii find
themselves studiously avoided.
Conversation, the afternoon recep-
ton and drawing-room brand. is be-
coming tabloid A great deal must be
depressed in one or two chosen words.
How else could people talk when they
are always On the go? II is sign OF
the times. Women who 60 to recep-
tons find they must limit their con-
Yersation to a few choice words.

in general summary: Most attract

Still. conversation has not become
entirely lost art. The older genera
ton keep It up. The younger people
may speak In tabloid language, but
the gentle, old folks at home cling to
the traditions OF talk tenaciousfy.
II Is surprising how the French Ian.

 State Tax .................... 40
 The rate. as fixed. of s3 cents on the hundred dollars valuation is 24 cents lower that it was last year. The ! tate and county rates are both lower | than last year. The expenses of the | ounty will be larger thaff before on | account of the long sessions of the ;uperior Court and other things. The present board are to be congratu- ated on the low rate that they have ,een able to fix with the increased expenditure. They have given the county a good business administration aS hare been the means cf keeping the expenses well within the budget that they adopted. The county will, in all probability. have the lowest county tax rate of any county in the state.
 The budget adopted by the Board on the 14th. Of August shows that the total expenditures through county warrants would be $39s.1S7.00. The total valuation of property for the year 1916-lsl7 as shown by the ab- stract of the tax rolls as submitted by the County Assessor is $1l4,814, ,726.56, after all exemptions are deducted The ed valuation for the levy of .l95 cents on the $lOO assessed valuation for the general and salary fund will produce the sum of s25s.333.13 while there will be added to this sum of BPS, ,160 which will be collected from miscellaneous scources and it will give the sum of S2s6 493l3 for that fund.
 The levy of .O03 cents on the $l0O valuation for county road purposes will prduce the sum of s97.5s2.51 to which will be added 1O,45O for road tax from individuals and s145O from the forest reserve fund, making a total of $109.- 4s2.5l.
 The county school superintendent Miss Minnie Lintz, submitted her es- timate that it would take $314,373,00 to run the schools for the year 1916 1917. A levy of fifteen cents on the valuation together with the money received from the state fund, fines and school tax on individuals will produce sufficient funds to support the schools during that time.

A matter that is of considerable importance to the voters of Cochise county may we'll be brought to view this time and that regarding the election of supervisors
 from this county As provided by statute there is to be holdover each election year, the man having secured h highest the previous election to be the hOdover This year the hodover ill Cochse will be Vance Johnson of Bisbee. MT. Johnson is able and has repre- sented the Warren District in satisfactory to the majority of taxpayers and believe inasmuch the district law inadequate, not working out properly
 that the county elect it's spervisOrs from districts that the Warren District should least observe the
 ment of the voters and be satisfied with representa- tive the board Bisbee not selfish but 1t would ap pear when the voters asked to elect another George Wesfed from the District Other parts of the county want representation, and there number of candidates after the place. Mr. Westeld doubt is good and should not Bisbee already have able the board the voters would not object, but, believe, speaking for the majority that Mr. Westfed should consider this proposition and withdraw favor of other candidate in another district The district law will take of this when properly amended the next legislature and the fact that it shown that people want the law and desire to elect their supervisors from each district should bear considerable weight with the voters at the primaries selecting the super vsors The county at presentwe represented in the board with J. M Sparks, chairman from Douglass Vance Johnson, from Bisbee and John Rock from Tombstone and reason why Mr. Westied should want to became member and possibly cut Tombstone, Douglas or other parts of the county from representation.

Those reasons all involve questions Of facts that have occurred subse- quent to the time Of entry." They are question of fact as to the truth of which the Recorder may well be in doubt, and desire to protect himself fin his action by the judgment of . court authorized to render such judg- ment On the other hand, he may be satisfied of the facts and SO willing to cancel without judgment
 Therefore the statutes provide the elector shall first apply to the Rec order for . cancellaton. and if the latter does not wish to take the re- sponsibility of passing on the facts and refuses to act, an appeal can be taken to the court. The court then takes . definite substantive law. and tries the facts to see how the law should be ap- piled.
 This conclusion seems to me to be the reasonable one. and also support cd by the only analogous case l have been able to nnd-Re Ward. 20 N. Y. Supp. eos. In that case the court
