dominate and coercc the people OF
the state thru its legislature by any
such proceedings, and we brand
them as unfair and subvcrsivc of

We further resent the aspcrsions
cast by the complaint filed and by
tho public utteranccs OF the support
crs of this movement on the honesty
and ability OF the boards of county
commissioners of this state. believing
them to be chosen by the people
knowing them best for these quail
ties.
We further believe that in the de-
vclopment OF n system of state high
ways IT may well be true that tho
welfare and convenience of the peo-
pie may be hest served by local i'm
provement first where most re-
quircdi the same to be gradually knit

We are justly proud of the great
ness and beauty OF our capital city
but we remind her citizens that tho
whole state has generously and un-
grudgingly contributed to make her
and her cnvirons what they are and
we further warn them against all
sinister efforts. like the one now in

fl Years In This Section; He Makes
 Third Visit Here

For the third time in fl years R. A. kinsman of Humboldt is in Phoenix, though all that time he has been living within stones throw of it. He was last here five or six years ago fer a short time. His first visit was made in De-ember, 138 when he was enroute from Portland, Me, to Prescott. There was mighty little of Phoenix then. Maricopa was the nearest railroad point in Arizona to Prescott.
 MT. kinsman was accompanied by a man by the name of Jordan. They had large trunks and car ried a large supply or ammuni- ton, for they expected to do lot of hunting. On their arrival at Maricopa, whence the journey to Prescott would have to be made by stage, they learned that each passenger was allowed only IS or 20 pounds of baggage. More than that was charged for as excess.
 It would cost as much to carry Mir. kinsman's baggage to Pres colt as his railroad fare from Portland to Maricopa had cost. He and Jordan made an arrange nent with a freighter to carry them for S10 apiece. The journey occupied 12 days, which, by the way, was the time consumed in their journey from Portland to Maricopa.

ANNUAL STATE TAX CONFERENCE ID BE
 HELD DECEMBER 19

Issuing a call for a confluence, the state tax commission yesterday noti- fled the assessors of the If counties of the state that the annual event had been set for December 19. The date has been advanced a month earlier than usual owing to the new automobile law which requires the county assessor not only to collect the tax on the motor car but issue the license and collect the fee which has heretofore been the duty of the secretary of state. A detailed dis cussion of the law which provides that the assessors handle the auto mobile business was deemed advisa- ble before the first of the year, when the 1922 licenses will be issued. Err nest R. Hall, secretary of state, will be present at the meeting.
 Other matters of business that will be taken up at this time will be methods of valuation of different classes of property. A uniform method throughout the state will be recommended by the tax commission.
