Rumania in the War

The entrance of Rumana into the war while it's influence the ultimate result may not be great it will greatly change the status of affairs in the Balkans and along the southern part of the eastern front It will have the effect too, of relieving the Turkish pressure upon Egypt. The declaration was long since discounted Berlin where was eonsid- cred that the joining of Rumania with the entente allies only matter of time. Such declaration a month ago would have been a serious affair as to the central for then the Russian ofen sive was in full swing and the allied offensive in west. then beginning promised than has been realized
 Rumania will bring into the war about 5OOOOO men, an army slightly larger than that of Serbia when the Austro- German drive was begun. With what force the central powers may oppose this foe is unknown but doubtless disposition has long since been made It is estimated that there 2OO, 900 German soldiers in Turkey that s in the vicinity of Constantinople engaged in sort of police duty and who have taken part in the fighting the Dardaneles campaign Less than two weeks ago the Christian Science Monitor, whose news gathering in the have been proved be remarkably accurate disclose the of this body of German soldiers and the absence from the interior of Turkey of a large body of Turkish soldiers. The Turks for the most part were engaged the from tiers, in the Caucasus Mesapotamia and in the region of suez It stated that in Constantinople and in the interior twenty German soldiers were seen to one Turkish soldier.
 No doubt, if needed, the Turkish armies would be withdrawn from the southwest where the opera tons long since declared by military experts have no bearing upon the European With these and the Germans in Turkey not engaged and the Bulgarian forces which have been menacing Ru- manan frontier along the Danube greater than the entire Rumanian war strength could be quickly collected.
 It is perhaps, this Bulgarian menace that has precpitated the of Rumania into the war Despite the sympathy of a majority of Rumanian people with the entente powers from the beginning that succeeded in preserving strict trality. But of late apparently unauthorized of have been committed by Bulgarian troops along the border.
 Some overtures said to have been made early in the Austria restoring of Buko- wina which had been detached from Moldavia in 1877 at the time of the recognition of independence Rumania.

compel us to believe that there is something wrong with the system of the present assessor. If MT. Bone's open letter is his best attempt at an explanation of his action in compelling the taxpayers of this county to pay taxes on an additional $6000,000 then he is admittedly a failure
 An increase of $6,000,0 900 in valuations in this county with a state tax rate means just $24,000 additional to be paid by the landowners of this county into the state treasury, every cent of which may be charged to Mir. Bones activi- ties.
 In 1914 MT. Bone placed the assess
 ment of the big Kress store in Phoenix at S5775. This was raised by the board of supervisors, over MT. Bones protest to 15,000, and the Kress people paid on the latter sum- Why such a low valuation for Kress, Mir. Bone? In 1915
 Kress was assessed for $S,750 and in 1916 only $6.775. Why not the $15,O0O,

AN OPEN LETTER TO ASSESSOR
 BONE

To the Editor of the Republican:
 The signed statement by Assessor Bone in your recent issue has caused considerable comment among the tax payers of this county. The assessors statement is neither an explanation nor an excuse He admits that he is alone responsible for an increase in as sessed valuation of Maricopa county to the extent of $6,000,000 and seems to feel that this feat is something to brag about.
 He admits that sitting with the board of supervisors as a board of equaliZa tion, he protested against the cut of 20 per cent in valuations on irrigated lands and town and city lots made by the three supervisors. It is fair to say that the three supervisors were as familiar with property values in this county as MT. Bone, in fact more so for the reason that the supervisors duties call them all over the county, while the assessor remains in his of flee
 Yet, after being outvoted three to one, MT. Bone had the gall and nerve to go before the State Tax Commission at Prescott and tell them that his county's valuation was too low and should be raised e6,000,000 And in his signed statement he takes pride in the fact that every county in the state con- l firmed him in his attitude. The ab- surdity of it. Everyone knows that the other thirteen counties were tickled al the opportunity to vote $6,000,000 val uation onto Maricopa county and there by reduce the burden on their owr county.

That independence of thought and action which is inherent in strong men, is creating current that is silently rallying to Tom Campbell and his aspirations to serve his native state as it's governor. This thought will increase as the campaign prog resses and party lines will be shaken in Arizona in November to an extent never known in the state before. MT. Campbell, who is accompanied by Doane Merrill, republican candidate for state auditor, and George H. Small ley, candidate for state tax commission, visited Chloride and other precincts in Mohave county and after spending some time in Kingman will proceed over the eastern portion of the state. MT Merrill has developed tireless ability as campaigner. Every precinct [ he visits, old friends appear to greet him, for MT. Merrill is one of the really old-timers. As campaigner he stands next to Tom Campbell, which is an enviable achievement for a tenderfoot 1 in the political game, for Arizona has never produced a better campaigner i than Tom Campbell
