How often we have heard
this expression concerning a

man. 1t is absolutely un-
necessary that any man

sympathy from his friends,
for there is a preparation on
the market which, if used in
time, will remove all symp-
toms of falling hair, dan
druff, and irritations of the
scalp and promote the growth
of the hair.
If you have been expert
menting with preparations
containing cocoanut oil or al
kalis (if it foams it contains
alkalis) throw them away at
once! Go to O'Donnell's
Drug Store, 9O4 F street, and
ask for a Soc bottle of Speis-
er's Scalp Tonic. Use it &C
cording to directions, and In
a reasonable time the most
satisfactory results will be
obtained. Remember, Mr..

Western Motor Oil

Macarthur Brothers, State Agents
for the Packard, received the fol-
lowing interesting report from C.
L. Ross, Manager of the Pacific Car
Co., of Tacoma, who are agents for
the Packard.
We made careful oil test cover
ing eight months, using two eastern
oils and a western oil made from
asphalt. base crude.
In spite of the fact that the
Packard, carrying the western oil ,
was driven 5000 miles more than the
other two cars, it showed less wear
on cylinder walls, rings, pistons and
motor bearings. with practically no
carbon. On the other hand, both
of the cars carrying eastern oil had
large carbon deposits.
There's no question in my mind
about the superior quality of west
ern oil, especially in the present-day
high-speed motors with their close
fitting pistons. Freedom from
piston drag. and freedom from car
bon are highly essential in the opera
ton of these motors. and western
oil gives just the results needed"

How Mexican Bandits Are Made

There are 100000 men in
Mexico" writes Harry II. Dunn in
Cartoons Magazine, whose cry is
free money and free women and
who never will make peace until the
rope of a hangman breaks their
necks or the bullets Of firing squad
spatter their blood on an adobe
wall"
Mr.. Dunn, who was formerly edi
tor of a Mexico City newspaper,
continues:
The average wage for such labor
as any man among the $4,000, 900
can furnish is less than 81 cents,

man can steal a horse and machelr,
and join one Of more than 800

Mexico. Out of his share Of the
loot of the first village or hacienda
he will get saddle, all the liquor
he can drink, and the unfortunate
daughter or wife of some country
man-for women are the cheapest
commodity in Mexico. Possibly. he
will get rifle and ammunition, if
not at the first raid, at least at the
second. and he can keep out of the
fighting until he has armed himself,

low bandits looting How much
cheaper IL is to get horses, arms,
food, drink and clothing merely by
shooting down their rlghtful owners
than 1t Is to work for them. at so

The new bandit notes that few
of his companions are killed in pro-
portion to the loot they get and the
easy life they live; that many small
garrisons of government troops, I'M
derpaid and poorly fed, join the
highwaymen, rather than give them
battle. and he begins to sing the

DUTY TO THE TAXPAYER

We dare say that there is not one
taxpayer in fifty in the State of
Arizona that cares anything about
the political future of any individual
who may be holding Office, and we
venture to further state that the
main interest of the taxpayer is to
know that his taxes are to be as low
as possible for the coming year
There is only one efficient way In
which taxes can be reduced, and
that is by reducing the expenses.
In order to reduce the expenses there
must be some effort on the part of
everyone concerned, to place the
affairs of the State and every county
and city, in the hands of those
whose interests are to save money
and not to spend 1t.
The expenses of maintaining Ari-
IONA during the Territorial days
was less than a million dollars per
year to the taxpayers. The ex-
pense of maintaining Arizona since
Statehood has increased. so far as
the taxpayer is concerned, to more
than two millions of dollars per year.
Various classes of property, such
as the mines and railroads, have
been increased in valuation to the
extent that these two industries pay
nearly go per cent of the total taxes
of the State. Logically, the tax of
the smaller property owner. such as
the farmer, householder and stock
raiser, should be reduced. but as a
matter of fact, most everyone is
paying more taxes than before.
This is due to simply one condition;
that of extravaganza brought about
by the establishment of useless COM
missions, unnecessary offices and
the useless expenditure of vast sums
of money for many other public
purposes.
Now it is evident that there should
be some changes in the State if the
people are to be relieved of at least
a portion of the tax burden. Public
officers should be selected who have
had business experience; who are
not seeking to build up their political
future at the expense of the tax
payers, and who will represent the
people as a whole and not cater to
any one particular class within the
State. If there is one portion of
our people who should receive con-
sideration. it is the people who pay
the bills, namely. the taxpayers.
The fact that the State is today
facing a deficit in excess of three
hundred thousand dollars. is proof
that the taxpayers should harken to
this advice and insist that those who
shall represent them during the
next two years in every department.
executive, legislative and otherwise,
shall be pledged to a plan and sys-
TEN of economy.-The Taxpayers
Magazine.
