CAMPBELL AND K|BBEY HELP
 RED CROSS SMOKERS FUND

The Phoenix Chapter of the Red Cross Society, actively assisted by the Glendale auxiliary chapter, have just forwarded to the five Arizona encampments of the national guard a supply of smokes that will keep contentment in camp for some time to come

Besides a huge assortment of tobacco and pipes donated by business firms and pri- vate citizens of Phoenix and Glendale. there were several sealed packing cases that exuded a delicate and fla miliar fragranc.

 The smoker campaign was com plete success. The Glendale chapter mas been very busy and sent in q splendid donation of smoking sup plies and canned fruit.

A Temporary Brjdoe

We think assurance can be given that there will be railway strike-now. With the passage of the railway eight hour law the strike order will be rescnded leaving all points dispute where they now stand until January when the eight hour law will be- come effective Then, unless in the meantime, there has additional anti-strke legislation or unless the railway companies have been given assurance of increase of rates to meet the additional expense we shall have it to go through with again.
 is quite certain that the railways will not consent to the hours pay eight the law seems to contemplate According supreme decisions. congress is without power to fix wages legslate the subject of wages This inability has already been noted by the railway managers who will no doubt further test it when the eight hour law becomes effective
 Thus the eight hour law delays but settles noth- ing. Congress in the face of the opposition of the four brotherhood leaders has dared propose cura- tive legislation such other countries have found effcacious in preventing such situations the one that has threatened the country The president it is true suggested opposition of the labor leaders manifested itself he has insisted upon it.
 Only temporary bridge has been thrown over the chasm, which will fall of it's own weight according to the calculations of the constructors four months But it is not too late to build per- manent bridge in time. It is possible do it in the first month of the short session of congress Then congress will be free. The members either will have been elected defeated for the next term. Then there will be need of votes for either the con- querors the conquered.
 The eight hour law is only expedient but it serves the purpose of postponing the strike and in that all interested.
 This avoidance of a strike is probably no more gratifying to the public than to the heads of the brotherhoods who not only permitted to save their faces but have given striking demonstration of their power over the government of the United States it is constituted It plain that they had come to reage the seriousness of the situation that confronted them, with the determination and preparation of the railway companies to enter into fight which whatever might cost the roads and the public, could have but ending. The hopelessness of the strike already foreshadowed by the defec tion of brotherhood members in various parts of the country.

State Tax Commission to protest against the excessive valuation plac- ed on the property of Maricopa coun- ty by Assessor Bone, in many in- stances forty per cent above the sell ing price. It occurred to me that the people of Maricopa county had a real grievance that our county is paying more than her just part of the state tax.
 I am relibaly informed that business lots in Globe, Douglas and Bisbee are assessed at from $500 to $500 per front foot. bringing the same rental as in the city of Phoenix where the assessment is $500 to s1,OOO per front foot
 The lands under irrigation projects of Maricopa county are assessed at an average of S93 per acre as against S5S in Yuma county. Taking the above into account it certainly looks that something is wrong. The party signing himself "A Taxpayer" is try ing to make 6 denfense for Assessor

 Your Respectfully,
 FRANKLIN D. LANE. In view Of the above statement Of facts it is clear to my mind a cut of 20 per cent made by the board of supervisors should have been sustain ed by the board of tax commission.

 Why, Tom Campbell, of course There isn't any other. You see, when they made me chairman of the smoker committee. I didn't know exactly where to start.

 Concerning the valuation of real estate in Maricopa county now. as compared with 1915 assessed valua- tions, I have to advise you that it has been practically impossible to sell property for more than two-thirds to three -fourths of the assessed value.
