In 1916, it's the Watsonites that are "the
CATTLE"
Very we'll, let it be so. Qualified voters
are made so, By lar.
Their right to vote does not depend on the
within of men a0hO haze their faces slapped IN
the street, for reputation Of gambling debts;
nor does it depend upon the variable malice
Of man who goes into bankruptcy, on q
Watch and q shotgun, and leaves creditors to
deplore the fact that they tooh him to be On

TIE LAW says that any citizen who is
registered shall have the right to vote in the
August primary, no matter whether he be
rich or poor, black or white, Democrat, Re
publican, Populist, Prohibitionist, Socialist
or Progressive.
The Ian does not, and cannot make q0hite
primary, a Democratic primary or Repu6
zican primary.
The loD CANNOT, and does not, draw the
line Of race, color, or party.
Pay your taxes, and register Get your
name on the list-and the Law leaves you
free to vote as you darn please
If politicians and their newspaper satellites
tell you otherwise, they lie!
In the Presidential election, you have until
November to make up your mind
Take y0ur time about 1t, son!
Don't let the office-holders hurry you, or
fasten you.
KEEP YOUR MIND OPEN! Keep
your eyes OPEN Watch, as we'll as pray

You can't vote for President until No

goped, in May.
If you are Wilson man, you gain nothing
by going into the May party primary: he
has no opposition.
The Journal can send its office force to the
polls, in the party primary, and carry the
State for Woodpile.
There isn't any rival candidate to the Pro

 HUMOROUS
Amusing Facts Told at State Tax Meeting; 21 Glasses of Property Discussed.

PRESCOTT, Arizona, August L. Expediency was the keynote of yesterdays session of the Arizona State tax conference in session at the Elks' theatre. The State tax con- mission and it's conferees hustled through a good many classihcations of propety, comparing the various counties methods, and amounts of tax ation.
 Quite a little humor resulted from the dusty subject of sawmills, es- pecially when the various assessors e.e caled on the floor ds tC what the sawmills in their counties were doing. One sawmill, it was reported, had been sold for taxes. Another did not show the least activity when the assessment was made and still an- other assessor reported that he taxed Q couple of small mills jus. to snow some industry in his county in the northern part of the State.
 It was brought out at the confer ence that Coconino county is the only county in the State assessing stand. ing timber.
 The following subjects were inves tigated by the conference: Value of unplatted town land, productive pat ented and unpatented mines, value of improvements on latter, non-produc- tive patented mines, value of improve ments, patented millsites, value of i'm provements, improveme of surface mining claims, improvements of town sites, value of improvements, sur face mining claims, industrial lands, improvements on possessory rights, smelters and appurtenances, concen- traitors, mining machinery and sup plies, shelter supplies, sawmills and machinery, and standing timber.

TOMBSTONE, Aug. Tt took the jury in the case of the State vs. O. s. French, charged with bootlegging, a little longer to find a verdict than the Ross jury last night, but the de- fendant was found guilty, and sen tence will be pronounced later.
 The jury was out just an hour and a half when they reported they had reached verdict. It is understood several of the defendants held on the same charge out of the 250 cases on file, are getting week-kneed and that next week will bring out some pleas of guilty, the line of evidence being introduced being too strong for op- position. Another case will be on trial Monday when a special venire of 21 drawn jurors will report.

selves today with the Mexican con-
ferees in investigating the cause and
eeffct Of certain Mexican mining de-
crees touching American interests in
that country The conferees also con-
ferred with Maj.-Gen. Bliss on the bor-

ulary along the Mexican border by in
