TAX CONVERTING SUSTAINS BONES
 FIGURES

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 24.-Recom- mendations to the Arizona State Tax Commission that the valuation placed or Maricopa county irrigated lands by Assessor J T. Bone of that county should be sustained over the action of the Maricopa board of supervisors who voted a 20 per cent reduction on that class of property while they were sitting as a board of equaliza- ticn, were voted by the state tax con ference which opened it's sessions here yesterday in the Elks theater. The motion carrying the recommenda- tions was carried by the conference with a vote of 24 to 4.
 DU: iEc tho discussion of the cause of the Maricopa boards action in reducing certain class of property's lax 20 per cent, Pat Rose, chairman of the board of supervisors of Gila cou:5ty stated that he thought the re duction by the Maricopa board was made for political reason Assessor Bone 9ntended that his original val uistiCHs were correct. The conference then heard the selling price and as sessed valuation on irrigated lands sold in Maricopa compared, which '"-ed that ver,- few of Bone's vaiua- tions were equal to the selling price.

A SOUND PLATFORM
Chandler Arizonan. )


 The announcement of George A. Ol- ney for governor of Arizona contains a number of pledges, which if lived up to, would do much toward clarify- ing economic conditions in Arizona His platform puts the economy issue squarely up in the campaign. It is, in fact, the first noteworthy thing that the Olney supporters have yet done.
 Olney says on taxation: T demand that all property, regardless of class or ownership, be compelled to bear it's just proportion of the tax burdens. D If Olney means that the mines will be taxed on the same basis as the ranches, and enforGes that taxation, he should receive the support of the agricultural interests.
 This paper is not advocating the candidacy of either Hunt or Olney; what it wants and in fact what every other citizen wants is just and equit- able tax. Chr taxes have been stead fly climbing during the last three years. Of this, no doubt, a goodly portion is for schools, but with all property paying it's legitimate share of the taxes, the amount of valuation would be greater and the rate lower
 Simply supporting the down trodden miner does not assure the farmer that his taxes will be reduced. Fewer commissions, less clerks and greater economy in state administration are as desirable as a lower tax rate.

RED TAPE PLENTY
 FOR OFFICE SEEKERS

Just how the scores of candidates that now infest Arizona must pro- ceed in order to get their names on the ballot is not known generally, though it is known that under the present primary law there is con siderable red tape to be surmount- ed. It costs a man good deal more nowadays to make the race for an office than in the old days when candidates were nominated by the convention system.
 In order for a person to become a candidate now for state, county, or precinct office he must first file a written declaration of intention with the secretary of state, if can didate for state office, or with the clerk of the supervisors, if a candi- date for county or precinct office.
 It is then necessary for the can didate to have a regular nomina- tion paper, in the form of a peti- tion. drawn up and circulated for signatures, the number of names necessary depending on the office he seeks. Candidates for state office must secure signatures equal to one per cent of the total number of votes cast for the gubernatorial candidate of their party at the pre- ceding election. The signatures, however, do not have to be secured in all parts of the state, though

"The Mountaineer" Has
 Arrived

The first number of "The Mountaineer," the paper of the
 Williams public School, came to the News early in the week. The News congratulates the promoters of The Mountaineer on the literary value of the school paper, but must suggest that the typographical and me- chanical appearance of the pa per should be improved at once. They are very discred- itable. If a good quality of pa per, such as is used in this class of publications, and the typo graphical and mechanical work be made to conform to the standard required by a school paper, the publishers need not be ashamed, to let their paper circulate in the channels of school journalism.

The News has said that har- mony is requisite to successful
 school work. There is evi- dence that there is not the har- mony in Williams that her school interest demand. If we are going te get through the year without a scandal, and profit the nearly 400 pupils en- rolled, there must be some sac rifice of preconceived notions as to how the school ought to be run. The Principal and his assistants must have support. There is no surer way to ruin a school than to discredit the teaching body, singly or in toto.

A New Years Resolution for
 Williams

What better New Years res olution could the Town of Will Hams make for the year 1917, than that she will abolish with in her jurisdiction the legaliz- ed traffic in shame. If Wil- Hams does not take this move soon, she will find herself in the very rear of the procession of progressive Arizona towns. During the past two years town after town has been voted white until now the segregated district is to be found in but a few nonprogressive towns, mainly mining centers, and the Town of Williams.
 It has been a surprise to many to hear of our neighbor- ing towns of. Winslow and Flagstaff putting this shameful traffic under the ban, in the lead of our own progressive lit tie city.
 May it be a New Years re- solve of the people of Williams to take early steps to abolish their segregated district, to re- fuse longer to pollute their town coffers with money from commercialized vice, and keep their town in the fore ranks of progress.

If County and Town Cooperate Prohibition can be made
 Effective

Probably in Douglas, Co., chise county, prohibition has been made as effective as in any town of Arizona. What Douglas has done other towns may do.
 The county officials of Co., chise county are very active in running down violators of the prohibition laws. They have found that they cannot al ways succeed alone, but when their work is supplemented by that of the town thru town or dinances in the hands of zeal ous local officials the violators of prohibition laws have a very poor show to escape punish ment.
 Should the county officials of any county fail to suppress the traffic in intoxicants, the peo- pie should make sure that the towns are ready to cooperate with them, and then insist that they make good as the officials of Cochise have done.
