ARIZONA METHOD OF MINE
 ASSESSMENT VALUABLE

Phoenix, May IT, Due to the method of assessment employed by the state tax commission. mine valu ations in Arizona will be substantially the same this year as when the mines were running full capacity.
 Based on an average net earning over a fiye-year period, the valuation this season still takes in the wartime earnings.
 never before has the wisdom of the prominently before the people as this year. when the taxpayer can readily see the advantage of the commission $ policy in securing the best results for the state, it is said.
 With practically every mine in the state closed down or limiting em pfJyes to the least possible number, the valuations would have been great i ly reduced had the legislature in 191j been successful in enacting a specia. mine tax law which was strenuouSiv resisted by the tax commission. The legislature proposed placing the valua tion on each years operation while 1 the commission heiG that such me thod would result in high valuation 'one year and probably an exceedingly i low one the. next.
 ] At that time Charles K. Howe, pre- sent chairman of the tax commission served on the commission as chai:' : man and the other members wer, 1 Thoma E. Campbell and C. M. ZandeI The commissioners appeared befor, the legislature and urged the member
 to permit them to adopt a plan tha
 would have the effect of stable an,
 steady income for the state.
 This was agreed upon with the re
 suit that Arizona's method is bein: d0pied by other states in the union
 In 8 recent case before the suprem
 court. where sulphur mines in tn, state of Louisiana objected to valua tion of S54 .000, 900 the state was sus
 tained 'Jn testimony showing that th
 mines were assessed by the Arizon
 method
 The tax commission not only en
 plOys the fve-year annual net earn
 ing method in mines but also in al
 irving at it's valuations of railroads telephone and telegraph companies private car lines. and other classe
 of business. including banks. prbduc concerns. commission merchants an wholesale meat dealers.

JUDGMENT . AGAINST
 COUNTY IN FAMOUS ROAD CONTRACT SUIT

The now famous law suit of Web ster Bros & Kerby vs. Greenlee coun- ty, whereby the contractors brought suit for approximately $2S,000.O0, for alleged extra work in the Construction of the -Springerville Highway. came to an end in the Superior Court of Graham county on Wednesday evening last.
 The jury returned verdict in favor of the plaintiff contractors in the sum of $20,79470 as principal and S10S1.65 as interest on this s;lm from July 9th 1920 to May IS, 1921.
 The trial extended over a period os seventeen days. Two weeks of this time was consumed by the plaintiffs in the introduction of a voluminous mass of exhibits, including vouchers, pay rolls, checks, and other cost data to prove their account and it is es- timated that if the stenographer should be called upon to transeribe the record in the case it would cover typewritten sheets.
 On Monday morning of this week the defense, on behalf of the county, began the introduction of their testi- znony. The witnesses on. behalf of the county included Pete Parque and Jim Averill who were awarded sub- contracts by the original contractors; D. B. Vandercook, former county en gineer; H. C. McTlveen, present couu- ty engineer; E. 8. Wheeler, of the Albuquerque office of Public Roads, P. Anderson, former chairman Of Board of Supervisors; Paul Suther- land former Assistant County En- gineeer; A. L. Terry, clerk Board of Supervisors and Duncan McNeil form CT member of Board of Supervisors.
 The contention of the defense was that the contractors had knowledge of the proposed changes in the route at the time they submitted their bid, but regardless of this contention, the changes made were permissible under the contract and that such changes could not properly De classed as eX- tra work.
 The testimony on behalf of the coun- ty was concluded on Wednesday noon and following instructions by the court the jury retired. After delibe"- ating for five hours the jury returned with their verdict recited above.
 The attoneys in the case were L. Kearney and E. V. Horton for the plaintiffs and H. A. Elliott, Dave Ling and County Attorney Hooker for the defendant county.
 Attorneys for the county announce that the case will be appealed to the supreme court of the state for fina adjudication.
 The question as to further financing the construction ol the Clifton Spring >rville highway is now one of acut, importance. A recent attempt to ap ply the state fund in this county ol this project, same to be matched witt Federal Aid, was not viewed witt favor by the Federal Authorities.

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr.. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work
He finally decided, after years Of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities, commonly call.
ed uric acid deposits, were dissolved
in the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and fl
nally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism
from his system.
Te freely gave his discovery to 9TH
ers who took it, with what might be
called marvellous success. After years
of urging he decided to let sufferers
everywhere know about his discovery
through the newspapers. A. G. Luken
& Co., 3 Quigleys Drug Stores 8 and
Yes and Now Drug Co. have been ap.
pointed agents for Allenrhu in this
vicinity with the understanding that
they will freely return the purchase

who state they received no benefit
