NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-surrogate Fowler, in an opinion relative to taxation of the New York estate Of Hetty Green, said: "1n a demo- cratic republic the growing danger of injustice is not to the poor, but to people of property. That the modern processes of taxation are being subtly misapplied to the end of the Socialistic movement is gen. erally admitted by professional econ omists. Some, indeed. profess that a uolitical and social strife. has al- ready been declared in the regions of taxation, and people of property are beginning to claim that taxa ton in aid of social reform is clear usurpation and unconstitution- al."

ANARCHIST LEADERS TAKEN IN CUSTODY
 BY OFFICERS
SHERIFF SLAUGHTER AND SPEc- lAL OFFICER FISK MAKE A CLEAN UP IN THE DISTRICT
 OF THE RED ELEMENT
MEMCANS PLACED IN JAIL.
Anarchistic Group Organized In This District Scattered By Raid Th.s Week

The most important capture in the history of the sheriff's office. under the administration of Sheriff Slaugh- ter, was made this week, when in company with Federal officers. D. raid was made on an anarchist eroup with headquarters in Morenci, and three of the leaders landed in jail. together with basket full of anarch- 1stic literature, constitution and by- laws, correspondence, etc.
 Outside of the sheriff's office there probably was not one citizen in a thousand who had any knowledge of the existence of a thriving anarch- istic group in this district who held secret meetins, initiated new mem bers, and was constantly in cores pondence with other anarchistic groups in different cities both east and west.
 The MOrenci group was closely al- lied with the Los Angeles group, as shown by the correspondence seized in the raid, and the leader in this q Vallanueva. Two other active lead CTS in the movement were Camille Munoz and Crescencfo Aeuilerra. This trio left here on Tuesday morning n the custody of two federal officars and are now confined in the Tucson jail for appearance before the United States court in that city the first of October.
 The sheriff's office had been work ing on the case for several months in- conjunction with the Federal authori- ties in Los Angeles but it was diffi- cult to obtain any strong evidence against them.
 Upon the arrival of Federal officer Fisk the first part of the week it was decided to make the raid. = Juan Val laneuva was arrested by Sheriff Slaughter and Officer Fisk at the Morenci postoffice. A search of his a. bode was made immediately and the in eliminating evidence gathered in. Later Munoz and Agulerra were ar rested along with eight others, includ- ing Antonio Lopez. of Metcalf. who was the author of an article against the United States, which recently ap- peared in sfEl Trabajo" a Mexican newspaper published in Clifton. When arrested Lopez was carrying an I. w. W. card which showed he was a member of this nortorious red orean- ization in good standing Lucio de Lunes and Thos. Martinez, also of Metcalf, were also arrested but the three Metcalf men were later released before the U. s. Commissioner for lack of sufficient evidence to connect them directly with the anarchist plot.
 Among the literature captured in , Morenci was the anarchistic teach ings which preach the overthrow of all government: the reign of free love: the destruction of the capital ist class, etc. One of the members had already taken to himself a wife under the anarchistic doctrine with out the ceremony of a legal maria ge. 1 A letter captured in a raid in Los ] Angeles showed that secret meetings were being held in different places in Morenci but the writer, Juan Val leneuva. complained that they had to he very careful about holding meet ines "as the worst sheriff in Arizona was the one in Greenlee county''

H. 3. WILSON POST MAKING DRIVE FOR
 MEMBERSHIP
THE AMERICAN LEGION IS BEING ORGANIZED FOR THE GOOD TT CAN DO Ex- SERVICE
 MEN

The big dr;ve of The American Le zion for million members was made this week throughout the United States. The Arizona membership quota is 2S34 and the Greenlee county quota is 128. The number of posts of the American Legion so far es- tablished in Arizona is twenty1one and the Harold B. Wilson post is the only one in Greenlee county.
 Robert W. Alton of Clifton, is in charge of the drive in this county and the membership of the Harold B. Wilson post is being rapidly in- creased this week. =
 The following communication has been received by R. W. Alton from state headquarters regarding assist ,ance to be given ex-service men on their Insurance difficulties, back pay, etc:
 ''The American Legion's only ex- cuse for existence is the good which can be done the ex-service men. the relatives of deceased soldiers, sailors and marines, and the community and state in general. With a strong organization perfected with unselfish- ness as the predominating spirit its possibilities for beneficial work are unlimited Aside from the many lines of work anticipated in the fu- ture, the organiza tion desires at this time to issue an invitation to all for mer service men and to all relative, of decea ,ed service men. requesting that if they are in need of assistance on the subject ot War Risk Insurance. back pay of deceased soldiers, liberty bonds ur,lalivefu, compnsation fer ycrrded soldiers. or any other similar subject, they immediately call upon the local post, which will in turn re- fer the matter to the proper official for attention"
 Legion After Alien SIackers
 If it becomes necessary to provide some new personnel in Congress to effect the expulsion of the alien slack CTS, the American Legion will take 'the first step in the new order of things. Such is the intention an- nounced in the current number of the American Legion Weekly, the of ficial spokesman of the national vet erans organization.
 Congress does not appear to be especially enthusiastic or active at this moment in the matter of provid. ing a law to eXpel the alien stacker from America, says the Legion in an editorial announcement. If we are rtT"ectly informed the alien slackcI is organizing for nis own protection and is going to use every effort to hold on to the rich privileges of a country in which he is only draw back
 But we will venture to predict that organization and prora Sanda will not save the alien stacker. The Am erican Legion is determined that the alien stacker shall so. It believes his expulsion is in the best interests of America and is not going to forget or weaken for moment in it's fight on this menace. Early action thru Congress is earnestly to be hoped for But if the struggle lengthens into a necessity for providing some new per sonnel in Congress even that obstacle { will not deter the united men who were in service in effecting this first step in the new order-of-things''
