trymen, that I am seeking your sup port not for my own sake or for the sake of a political party, but for the sake of the nation itself in order that its inward unity of purpose may be evident to all the world. In ordinary times | would not feel at liberty to make such an appeal to you In ordi- nary times divided cOunsels can be endured without permanent hurt to the country. But these are not ordi- nary times.
 If in these critical days it is your wish to sustain me with undivided minds l beg that you will say so in a way which it will net be possible to misunderstood either here at home or among our associates on the other side of the sea. l submit my difficul- ties and my hopes 10 you.

United States. The constitutiOnality of the method of valuation is further at tackled on the ground that it deprives the company of the equal protection of the laws of Arizona. Another point of attack is that it violates that section of the state constitution which de- clares that taxes shall be uniform on the same class of property.
 It is alleged further that the quad rupiing of the company's net earnings was an zen masse increase with no re- gard for earning capacity and it is charged that the state board instruct ed the county boards of supervisors in the counties named, in their capacity as boards of equalization, to change the assessments reported by the coun- ty assessors. notwithstanding that the period for the assessment of proper ties had closed long prior to the issu- ance of such instructions to the boards of supervisors.
 The valuation fixed by the board is declared to be in effect an original valuation, which the board was with out authority to make.
 The action will have the effect of testing the validity of a theory of val uation which the state board of equal ization has followed in assessing large part of the taxable property of the state.
 The complaint was filed in person by John Mason Ross of Ellinwood & Ross, counsel for the complainant
 Purpose of Suit
 The purpose of the suit is to set aside and avoid the action of the state board of equalization in ordering an increase of $2,567 ,951.64 in the ap- praised valuation of plaintiffs various properties scattered throughout the state The valuation placed upon these properties by the county assess ors and county boards of equalization was S342, FOG. The assessment as fin ally fixed by the state board of equal ization is S2,91O.56764.
 The company complains of this ac- tion of the state board, setting up that the cash value of its property was as fixed by the county authorities and that the valuations ordered by the state board is arbitrary and unlawful and the result of the adoption by the board of a "capricious, whimsical and method of taxation"
 The method is described in the com plaint, particularly in a letter written by the state board to the plaintiff in which it appears that the board, hay ing ascertained that plaintiff hac made a profit of S727, ,649.41 during the year 1917 on sales of fuel oil, gasoline, lubricants and other by-pro- ducts of petroleum in Arizona, or through Arizona consumers. In order to arrive at the value of plaintiffs properties, according to the complaint, the state board simply multiplied the profits by four, which is to say, capi- talized the profits at 9 per cent, all of this being done with the purpose of placing a valuation upon the ''in- tangible properties" of the company.
 The intangible Value"
 As finally worked out, the tangible are assessed at S342,706 and are found to have an intangible

by republicans in favor of such mea- sures were 72 per cent, while only 67 per cent of the votes cast On the democratic side were in favor of such measures. Those were the presidents own measures. Does that record look as if we had hampered him2 The re- publican party in congress has sup ported the administration policies since the war with unanimity and an absence of criticism unprecedented in party history.
 There are some domestic questions where we should undoubtedly differ from the course pursued by the admin istration We should not, for example. fix a price on the farmers wheat and leave the planters cotton untouched. Another domestic question in which the republican party believes thor oughly is economic preparation for the coming of peace and they are clearly of the opinion that the con gress of the United States should not be excluded from that great task.
 This is not the presidents war. This is not the war of congress. It is not the war of the democratic or the republican party It is the war of the American people. It is more. It is the var of the United States. of the allied powers, of the civilized world against the barbarism of Germany. In this great burden and responsibility the republican party representing more than half the citizenship of this country emands it's rightful share. If the republican party is entrusted with power in either. or both houses they will do everything possible to drive forward the war and hasten the day of victory. The president speaks of the necessity of telling the plain truth. That the republican party in control of congress would do. for they have no friends to shield. And they will do more
 The president speaks of the effect of the election abroad. He says there they understand the meaning of cleo tions. They do, and they will know that if republicans have a majority in congress. the war will be pressed with greater vigor than ever before. They are quite aware that the power of the senate is equal to that of the president in the cOnsummatiOn of peace by treaty. They will know that the re- publican party stands for a victorious peace and the overthrow of Prussian militarism. That knowledge will not depTess the spirit of our allies or en- courage the government of Germany.
 "The republican party believes that the question of surrender should be left to Marshal FOch, to the generals and to the armies in the field. When they report Germany has laid down her arms the United States and the allies should then impose their terms Will that knowledge cause dejection to those who are fighting with us? All the world knows that the republican party is opposed to negotiations and discussion carried on in diplomatic notes addressed to the German gov ernment. The republican party stands for unconditional surrender. There is no republican creed so short that there is not room in it for those two words.

ATTACKED AS "cAPRIcE"

The "capricious, whimsical and unwarrantable method of valua- tion" of property for taxation adopted by the state board of equalization, of which the Standard Ol company of California com plains in it's suit filed against the members of the tax commission and others, is as follows, according to a letter from the commission to the company:
 Net income for 1917 in Arizona, S951,37S.Sz.
 Less federal tax paid. S223, 20 il.
 True net on Arizona business for 1917, S727 e49.41.
 Assume earning on this class of business is 25 per cent return on assessed valuation, which repre- sents property valued at s2,910. 59764.
 Deducting total amount of the company's assessed property in all counties of Arizona, $324,646, there remains the sum which the taS commission, ex-officio board of equalization, says is the Standard Oil cOmpany's assessed valuation m Arizona, S2,567, ,951.64.

TUCSON, Ari., Oct 25.-Attacking as ~capricious, whimsical and unwar- rantable" the state board of equaliza- tions' method of tax valua6on, the Standard Oil company (California) yesterday afternoon through its attor- neys, Ellinwood & Ross of Bisbee, filed in the United States district court suit against the state tax com mission, ex-officio board of equaliza- tiOn, and the county treasurer and county attorney of every county in the state except Apache county, asking:
 l. That the increase in the val
 uation of the company's property
 in the state be decreed by the
 court to be void and in violation
 of the constitution of the United
 States and the state of Arizona.
 2. That orders of the state
 board seeking to put into effect
 the states tax collection processes
 for the collection of taxes on a
 valuation in excess of S3A2, FOG be
 declared to be void and of no ef-
 feet, and

 porary and a permanent injunc-
 tion against the defendants, en-
 joining them from collecting taxes
 from the complainant on the basis
 of the increased valuation.
 The complainant also asked for such other relief as the court might deem proper, and asked that the defendants be cited to appear and show cause why the injunction prayed for should not be issued. The orders to show cause, which were issuer last evening. are returnable October 30 at Tucson.
 No Due Process of Law
 The complainant alleges that the ac- tion of the board of equalization would deprive it of its property without due process of law and is therefore in. con travention of the constitution of the

GERMAN AGENTS START
FOOD SHORTAGE SCARE

Washington.--The work of
German agents among house
wives to cause a disruption in
the markets of household neces-
stiles and incite q discomfort
with war conditions has caused
q false shortage in some places
In commodities that really are
to be had in plenty.
The national food administra-
ton, commenting on the reports
of three successive buying drives
by housewives throughout the
the country on salt, laundry blue
and matches, says there is no
lack of these commodities among
small retailers by the excessive
buying, that the national stock
is as large as ever, with no pos
sible likelihood of shortage with
a normal demand from the con-
sumner.
The housewife is warned to
disregard rumOrs and not to
OverStock, as such unnecessary
buying may cause real shortages
for a short time in certain To-
calities.
