Banner Chapter at Tucson.

The banner Red Cross Chapter
IN the United States is located at
tucson, Arizona. It's apportion-
ment of the fund to be raised by
the national society was $25, 900,
and while other chapters are
working this week in their ef-
forts to raise their proportion of
the war fund, Tucson wired the
national headquarters last Friday
that they had already raised their
amount. Not only is this dis
tinct honor to Tucson, lbut there
is a little reflected glory for the
whole state Of Arizona. Navajo
and Apache counties under the
jurisdiction of the Winslow
Chapter have an apportionment
Of $4,000 to raise this week, and
1t will take strenuous work and
liberal giving on the part of
everybody if the sum is raised
by Saturday night. Half of this
amount should be subscribed by
Winslow, and if everybody will
do their full share it will not be
a serious matter. 1t can't be
done with SOC subscriptions, how
ever. We have 500 people in
this city who can afford to give
SIS or $40 to this fund, and it is a
duty they owe to the country to
give cheerfully and freely.

Flagstaff Boosters.

Last Sunday as per schedule a
score of automobiles loaded with
Flagstaff citizens invaded Wins
low with their brass band to ad-
vertise the coming Fourth of
July celebration in their city
under the auspices of the Elks
and the Red Cross. In the af-
ternoon headed by the band the
autos parGded our streets, and
when they disbanded at the
corner Of Second and Kinsley the
band gave a concert for an hour
while the visitors made personal
excursions to various parts of
the city, meeting old friends and
new ones, and boosting
the while for the celebration.
The celebration is to be a two
day affair, July Sd and 4th, and
they promise there is not a slow
minute in the whole two days
program. Gov. Campbell speaks
on the Sd Immediately following
the big parade, and the after
noon is given over to all kinds of
sports. And the Fourth pro-
misses to be a hummer.

Safety First.

The city council should take
judicial notice that the most dan
gerous place in the city is the
foot path leading from the
freight house across the Santa
Fe tracks to the Harvey House.
1t has been used so long that
people have the idea it is the re-
cognized open thoroughfare, and
probably a hundred people, in
Guiding children and women with
baby buggies, cross the tracks
at this point nearly every day
while two switch engines are
working trains, and cars are be-
ing shunted on all the tracks.
Before some catastrophe happens
the council should order the
Santa Fe to build a fence from
the corner of the freight house
east to Williamson street and
shut off this dangerous foot traf-
fic across the tracks. Putting
up warning signs has no effect,
and the only way to stop the
travel is to have a high fence
built to shut the people out. An
entrance to the freight house
can be built on the north side at
nominal cost for the accommo-
dations of the patrons.

Tax Conference.

The state tax commission has
called a meeting of the county
assessors and the supervisors to
meet at Nogales, July 23d, for
the purpose of discussing the
valuation on all classes of prop
erty for taxation, and represen-
tatives from every locality are
invited to be present to take part
in the discussion. The official
notice recites that unusual i'm
portance attaches to the meeting
in view of the greatly increased
valuations anticipated on all the
property. Will mining property
be increased? Will the railroad
be increased? Will the basis of
the taxation be changed to make
it equitable for every county in
in the state? The tax commits
SIGN will take care of the corpor-
ations, and will juggle the plan
OF assessment to give it the ap-
pearance of equity to the people,
but lets the corporations es-
cape with the minimum of taxes.
The county assessors will have
nothing to say about that. 1t
has already been arranged by
the tax experts and attorneys for
the corporations.
There will be some citizens at
this meeting, posing as the rep
resentives of the people but in
fact in the employ of the corpor-
ations, who will be patriotically
in favor of raising the valuation
of all the property except the
corporations, and they will re-
cite striking examples where the
corporations are bearing the bur-
dens of taxation. It will be a
great meeting where the COR
porations will slip by and the
people will get hooked, and reso-
lutions will be passed praising
the commission for it's bold stand
in protecting the rights of the
people. 1t will be we'll staged to
deceive the proletariat, and keep
them hurrahing for the tax COM
mission.

with the corporation commission.

Navajo County's Proportion.

According to the figures given
out by Adjutant General Harris
Navajo county will have to fur
nish 184 men under the selective
draft, or nearly rs per cent of
the total registration. The coun-
ty is only credited with 18 men
in the 1st Arizona, which is GER
tainly an error, as more than
that number have already gone
from Winslow, and quite few
enlistments were made in the
south part of the county. On
the basis of registration nearly
one hundred men will be drafted
from Winslow.

tify to their loyalty to the flag of
their country.
The hall had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion with
draped flags and bunting, CIV
ing inspiration to the speakers,
and awakening the patriotism of
the audience. The martial airs
by Matthews orchestra, and the
national anthems and patriotic
hymns by mixed quartet were
an added force in stirring the
blood to a greater loyalty.
The exercises were opened by
the Elks' ritualistic work for
Flag Day by Exalted Ruler Geo.

and inspiring features being the
