CLEVELAND PEOPLE SHOULD
 BUY AND HOLD SCRIP.

Rison Herald: The topic of gen eral conversation in Cleveland county for the past two weeks has been the problem of taking care of the county's outstanding scrip and ending the suit filed in federal court by nonresident holders of the county's indebtedness to compel the tax commission to as sess all property in the county at loO cents on the dollar until the indebted ness is paid
 Mr. N. A. Mckinney, president oi the Bank of Rison, and one ot the countys most successful business men, is heartily in favor of the citizens and taxpayers of the county buying up the outstanding courthouse scrip, waich can be had at S5 cents on the dollar, and holding it to apply on taxes In future years. A mass meeting of citizens of the south end has been called for Saturday at 10 o'clock at Kingsland, followed by similar meeting at Rison at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of considering this phase of the question.
 Mr. Mckinney is of the opinion that there are just two main questions to be considered in this connection. Fifst, "Should the taxpayers buy this scrip will it stop the suit pending In federal court against the county, which would raise our assessment to 100 per cent ?"
 Second "Then does not the tax payer get his scrip at S5 cents on the dollar which he can use in settling hls taxes with the county at 100 cents on the dollar?"
 To both of these questions Mir. Me Kinney answers "Yes."
 "With our present tax, and careful management of our county affairs, continued Mr. Mckinney, tour present revenues will be sufficient to take care of this scrip in four or five years, without the taxpayer using 1t in pay ing his taxes, thereby saving him q dollar.
 "Can this be done? Easy enough. If each taxpayer in the county will buy $9 worth of scrip at 85 cents, costing $7.65, it will stop all this

ANARCHIST PLANNED
 A REIGN OF TERROR
Accused in Frisco Bomb Outrage Pro- posed to Disrupt Unions to
 Make Himself Leader.

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-That ThOm as J. Mooney, one of the men indict- ed for murder in connection with the preparedness parade bomb explosion, planned to inaugurate a reign of terror in San Francisco by importing "direct-action reds" from other cities, was the opinion of District Attorney C. M. Fickert, making public today some of the correspondence discover ed by the police in MoOney's desk. Mooney kept carbon copies of his let ters.
 One, addressed to an executive off cer named Acker of the International Organization of the Industrial Work CTS of the World, Chicago, said:
 'I want to get in immediate touch with 15 or 20 direct-action reds-good vigorous reds"
 A letter to William Haywood, na- tional secretary of the I. w. w., ask ed for "hot-blooded men" to come to SanFrancisco to join various unions and foment trouble, to start mutinies against the heads of the unions they joined and in every way possible to cause dissension.
 Let me pull my kind of stuff" this letter continued. stuff hat has never beeen attempted in San Fran cisco before, and I'll make labor in San Francisco recognize me as it's leader"
 Henry J. Claussen of Alameda, Cal, who died in a hospital here last night was the ninth victim of the explosion

GRANT PEOPLE THINK M'GEHEE
 RLJFEING

Sheridan Headlight: While most of the people over the county with whom we have talked have agreed to a com promise in the tax-mudde into which the county seems to have alighted, yet there are number of people here in Sheridan who state that they are not willing to a compromise which will give us an increase of five mills coun- ty tax, by agreement. We have talked with several men since our iast issue, who say that they will never agree to any compromise. The position that they take is that Mir. McGehee will not bring any suit, for the reason that the Sawyer Austin Lumber company, which Mir. McGehee represents, owns so much property in Grant county that McGehee cannot afford to sue,
 These people may be right about the matter-we cant say as to that, and of course they are only stating what they believe, and not what they know but even if MT McGchee does no file suit to force q 100 per cent a5- sessment, we are informed tha, Jim Gould, of Pine Bluff. owns quite bit of Grant county scrip, and that he con- templates bringing suit. If this be so, Il, holtings in this county that we know of, and if he does bring suit, McGehee will be forced also to file suit, whether he wishes to do so or not.
 It seems to us that mass meeting should be called for some not distant date, and that citizens from all parts of the county should come together on that date, and thresh the matter out and dekide upon what We are going to do.
 This is no small matter, and what is everybody's business is nobody's business, the w lore it bchooves us to get together and take some decisive action. No one wants to pay double taxes for the next three or four years, and if suit against the county should be brought, we will have just that to do. And of course we will have both state and county taxes to pay on, and while other counties are paying the usual state tax, we will be paying twice as much. No suit may ever be brought, as some of our citizens in sist, and again we may face a suit very soon. Mr. McGehee is very firm and positive in his assertion that he will file suit by August l5 If the sentl- ment in the county is against com promise.
 We should call mass meeting and talk the matter over. If even one man objects, he can prevent the compro- mise, we are told.

A report giving the experience of several hundred farmers in the use of tractors has just been published by Secretary Houston, of the Depart fent of Agriculture The report gives the advantages of the farm tractor on three main points:
 The first is "the ability of the trac- tor to do the heavy work and to do it quickly, thus covering the desired acreage within the proper season" This the Department considers the principal advantage.

Those tractors are light enough to spare bridges and culverts. They will not pack the well-tilled land, and yet they are powerful enough 70 blow to depth of eight or nine inches. The tractor turns up practically virgin soil, thus enabling the American farmer to increase his output, equalling the production ob- tained by the European farmer through the use of enormous quan- titles of fertilizer"

third.
 Other advantages mentioned in the report are the economy of operation, the displacement of horses, and the ability to use the tractor day and night. The report favors the smaller and less expensive tractor over the larger tractor. Smaller tractors, such as the, Buckeye Junior, of Anderson, Ind, are recommended for farms of two hundred crop acres or less. The experts say they can be operated proftably on farms up to 45O crop acres.

HOW ID MAKE
 MONEY AT HOME
(Contributed)

Start a saloon in your own house. Be the only customer (you'll have no license to pay)! Go to your wife and give her two dollars to buy a gallon of whis- key, and remember there are sixty-nine drinks in a gallon. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time the first gallon is gone she will have eight dollars to put in the bank and two dollars to start business again. Should you live ten years and continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your boots, she will have enough money to bury you decently, educate your chil- dren, buy house and lot, mar ry a decent man, and quit think ing about you entirely.

OAK CREEK ECHOES

Unprecedented storms have visited this section of the coun- try since the beginning of the year. Sunday, January 30th is the first pleasant day Sedona has seen in over four weeks. Re- ports from Munds Park say that on the 27th three feet one inch of new snow fell. That was fol- lowed by an all night rain that reduced the snow about fourteen inches. The snow then became crystallized and ice like laying over the. hills and valleys in a heavytlayer beneath which the water murmured and gurgled.
 Word came from Camp Verde that the Verde River was one foot higher than ever before known. It flowed within a foot of the driveway of the Camp Verde bridge. It is said that much damage has been done to land and ditches by the Verde and tributaries.
 The first steam whistle heard anywhere the length of Oak Creek was inaugurated at the iSedona bridge site about the fifteenth day of January 1916. It belongs to the steam engine used on the Centrifugal pump which keeps the water out of the excavation for West abuttment. The hole is over 20 feet from the surface to the bottom and it is expected to go three feet deeper then raise the forms and pour cement.
 MT. Frank Owenby Sr. is re- ported to be on the sick list this week. It seems as tho rheuma- tism and grip are about to get the best of him.
 .Mr. Jesse Purtyman has nov ed his family back to the Sedona School district and has just made trip from Beaver Creek with hay. It was with difficulty that. he made the trip as the roads are very soft and boggy.
