character, laborious workingman, had

he played the famous air which he
wrote to the words Of Eugene Pot
it was to some of his comrades in a
cabaret here.
Then his wife died. HIS brother
went to Paris and passed himself off
as the author of the famous air.
The Two Misfortunes.
The two misfortunes worked disas-
trously on Degeyter's mind. He began
to drink heavily and conceived for all
music a dislike so strong that he
would leave cafe If any one began

Monroe Doctrine"

The famous doctrine, as announced by President Monroe In his message to congress in 1923. was simple state ment of the attitude of this country toward the South American republics. Henry Clay had made an effort to have the independence of these republics recognized and In 1922 their ,independ- ence was acknowledged by congress. President Monroe had recalled John Quincy Adams from the court of St. James to become his secretary of state, and many historians credit Adams with the authorship of the message, In which the doctrine was stated as fol lows: As a principle, the American continents, by the free and independ- ent position which they have assumed and maintained, are hencefOrth not tO be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power" This was undoubtedly the sentiment Of the congress to which the doctrine was announced

ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
 REGARDING LAND TAXATION

In answer to his inquiry of the state tax commission in regard to land held by person under an enforcible cer- tificate of purchase from the state of Arizona but which had been deeded or patented by the state to him, At torney General Jones holds that the land is assessable and taxable to the person holding such certificate. The attorney general replies that the stat utes provide that property of every kind and nature within the state shall be subject to taxation, unless ex- pressly exempt.
 Under these statutes property can be listed and taxed to either the ac- tual owner or to the person in pos session of the same, under the con- tract of sale. Another section of the statutes provides that a certificate of purchase of state land issued pursu- ant tQ the provisions of law shall en- title the purchaser to the possession of the land therein described.
 Section 70, public land code, pro- vides: "All lands sold under the pro- visions of this act shall be subject to taxation the same as other lands, and the taxes assessed thereon collected and enforced in like manner as against other lands."
 Other sections of the said code pro vide for the payment by the state of taxes becoming delinquent on proper ty sold under certificate of purchase, and charging the same against the land; for the furnishing of reports by the land commissioner to the various county assessors and tax collectors of lands sold under certificate of pur- chase; for the cancellation of assess ments upon lands reverting to the state.
 It is plain that the intent of these statutes is to provide for the taxa tion of lands held by purchasers under enforcible certificates of purchase from the state.
 While the constitution provides that state property shall be exempt from taxation, yet, when the state con- tracts to sell land and delivers posses sion to the purchaser under such pos sessory right and equitable title, as long as the contract is not forfeited, that under the statutes renders the property taxable to him, while in his possession.

THE BIG MEN AND
 THE LITTLE FELLOWS

An attempt was made in Congress to spend $10,000 of the government funds for the purpose of presenting General Pershing with gold sword.
 At the very time this was done a discharged soldier with wooden leg was in Washington who was unable to collect a cent of the insurance that was due him for the loss of his leg.
 We do not begrudge Pershing gold sword, or any other kind of trinket, if he wants it.
 But we do believe in paying the debts that are due the private sol- diers who sacrificed everything to serve their country, and we believe in paying these debts before any money is spent on Pershing or any other general who drew fat salary and lived in comfort while the enlisted men existed in discomforts too soul racking for description.
 If we are to enter upon an era of hero worship as a result of the few months we spent in this war, let us at least be consistent in the matter.
 There is no one entitled to more credit, and none is more endowed with the attributes of hero than the man behind the gun and the junior officer who went over the top with him. He it was who went bravely into the jaws of death with smile on his face, and who stoically puffed at cigarette as his mangled form was borne to the rear.
 He asked for no reward, and, to our undying shame, he has received none from the government.
 Spasmodic attempts have been made by few members of Congress to se- cure some adequate recognition for. these brave men, but all such endeav- ors have ended in fzzle.
 There are many of those young men in our own community who have served their country well, and have been discharged from the army and promptly forgotten.
 Is this to be an era of rewarding the big man and forgetting the little fellow?
 If so, let at least have the honesty to say so when we hand out rewards.
 Camoufage served it's purpose in France, but there is no occasion for employing it in this country in times of peace.-Wilcox Range News.
