TAX WEN MAKE 8FEW CHANG IN VAL LUATION
Tax Commission And As sessors Hold Conference Work Praised By Cover nOr-Valuations Placed

Declaring the state tax commission the most important commission in the state and the most satisfactory in ad- ministration, Gov Thomas E. Campbell in an address before the joint confer ence of state tax commissioners and county assessors yesterday said that there had been less complaint, less eX- pense and more accomplished by the commission than by any other state commission.
 The governor asserted that this was due Co the class and character of the men on the commission, backed by the best revenue and tax laws of any state In tho United States.
 Governor Campbell expressed bis pleasure in being before a gathering in which for years he took an active part. first as assessor of Yavapai county and later as a member of the tax commission.
 After complimenting the tax men for the commendable manner they had carried on," the governor gave the warning that the year just beginning would be difficult in the matter of as sessments. due to ebbing property values He spoke of the three indus tries of the state. which he described as being down at the heels-the copper industry. the livestock industry and the agricultural industry.
 The governor emphasized the appeal or Charles R. Howe. chairman of the state tax commission, who urged the assessors not to make reductions for any one class of property which would increase the burden of another class of property.
 To the new assessors the governor directed a few remarks relative to the satisfaction which could come only with treating every man--big and little rich and poor-alike.
 In introducing the chief executive Mr. Howe took occasion to pay a trib- ute to Rudolph Kuchler. former tax Commissioner, who was appointed tC the office by the governor.
 Few Changes Made
 Holding 10 the idea that to unload the burden of any one class of property would necessitate burdening another class the matter of assessed valua- lions was left largely as last year with the idea of making such change, as would be deemed advisable at tn, meeting of the tax association to b' held in July. The decision was reached in the matter of range cattle. whicl were assessed at $50 a year ago, anC which have less market value at pres ent. according to reports filed with tn assessors. That the copper and cottol interests had as uncertain a marke was pointed out and it was agreed tt let the amount stand at $30 for as sessing purposes until the meeting il Nogales next summer.
 The national used car market repor was adopted with a discount of 20 pc cent. It was deemed advisable to al low the discount as the schedule wa deemed too high and it was though that the new report of the Twelft federal reserve district, which will h issued shortly. will be materiall lower. That there are many used car in the market was the report made a the meeting, at which 1t was decide that tho assessments of new cars b cost to dealers plus freight Motor

Lillian Wilhelm Robertson, known to readers of the Zane Grey novels as an Illustrator who brings to her work the true western atmosphere, is pre- senting an unusual exhibit in the win dows of the Berryhill store at the cor ner of Washington and First streets. The exhibit comprises paintings and water colors, some of which were made expressly for novels written by Zane Gray, Indian dolls, necklaces moccasins, relics, mementoes and souvenirs, all gathered by the artist during the long months she spent on reservations in the northern part of the state.
 A similar exhibit was conducted by the artist in Philadelphia last Febru- ary and proved so successful that she was prevailed upon to present 1t in Phoenix, where she is now making her home. The purpose of this exhibit is to introduce the new novel by Zane Gray The Mysterious Rider" which will be released by Harper Brothers, publishers, today.
 Although her illustrations have caught and faithfully radiate the ka- leidoscopic colorings of the west, Lil- Han Wilhelm Robertson was an art student in New York city when she met Zane Grey, and her first trip to the west was made for the purpose of gathering material to Illustrate 'The Rainbow Trail' in 1913.
 Tt was not hard to persuade me to come west" she explained in an inter view yesterday. Things western nat urally appealed 10 me before I ever had an opportunity to visit this coun- try. When the Buffalo Bill and 101 Ranch shows came to New York made sketches and paintings of severa of the Indians attached to the organ izations"

FARM POLICY TO BE TOPIC IF THE TOWN
 MEET FRIDAY EVE.

The next town meeting. to be held at 7:30 o'clock Friday night at the high sctHool auditorium, will be changed into a town and county meeting when the sub ject, Suggestions for Farm Policy for the Salt River Valley" is taken Up. Farmers are especially in vited to attend.
 No city man would presume to ad- wise the farmer regarding crop sys- tems and how to handle them. but the experience which has been gathered by officials of the agricultural depart ment of the university is certainly of value and reports and investigations made by the county agent and others who iAre in close touch with farming practiices here should be helpful to every farmer at the present time.
 Twenty-two men met in conference on New Years day and heard of plans to assist in adjusting the present diff ficulit situation. The recommenda- tions made by the agricultural men of experience were perhaps the most i'm port,Lnt information presented. This report is to be analysed and explained in more detail at the meeting Friday night, which will be presided over by Jostph R. Loftus, a member of the com mittee representing the chamber of commerce. Dean D. w. Working Will come from the university at Iuc- son to make suggestions which should be of help. The dean has a compre- herlsive knowledge of conditions, not only in Arizona but throughout the Urited States. The county agent, H. c. Heard, has been able to obtain val ua ble particulars regarding the best | crops and conditions suited to this | locality, and others will be on hand | to supplement these reports.
 The meeting on Friday night is open to everyone and every farmer should consider himself especially invited to ! be- present. Arrangements also are be-
 ipg made to visit every point in the V Alley and give a summary of the sub | 1ects which are to be presented al | the high school meeting. These trips a bout the valley will be held probably
 diuring the week of Jan. 10 to g. and il
 Is hoped that all important centers sran be reached with at least one farm limeeting.
 The county farm bureau is planning
 the details for the meetings through
 put the valley and a schedule of dates | and times, as well as plans. will bt | issued in Q few days. The commit II tee having charge of the county meet Kings consists of H. c. Heard, Doane Merrill and Joseph R. Loftus.

Illustrator Of Zane Grey
 Novels Exhibits Work Here

In addition to The Rainbow Trail" Miss Robertson illustrated "The Bor- der Legion" and painted covers for "The Last Trail' and "The Spirit of the Border"
 The realism of her illustrations is accounted for by the fact that in or der to make them Miss Robertson wis ited the exact locations described in the novel and became thoroughly fa- miliar with the conditions and sur roundings. She spent months at a time on the Navajo Indian reservation north of Flagstaff. riding horseback over trails seldom travelled by white men and becoming intimately ac- quainted with the natives.
 Tt was only by making friends with the Indians that I could get them to pose naturally for me and obtain from them this unique collection" she ex- plained, and pointed out several dolls which represent to the Hopi Indians gods which they regard as dwelling in the San Francisco mountains. She also called attention to a hair bridle and moccasins which had been pre- scented by an Indian trader.
 T believe the country in the north ern part of Arizona to be the most colorful in the United States" the artist declared, and told of visiting places which only could be travelled with pack burros.
 Miss Robertson has been making her home in Phoenix since last March.
 T have become very fond of this region" she said "Of course it is quite different from the Navajo and Hopi country, but it offers fully as great opportunities for the artist, and look forward with pleasure to future work on the great desert country here l in the Salt river valley.

NAVY RECRUITING
 ORDERED STOPPED

Photographic orders were received at the local navy recruit ng station from headquarters in San Thego to stop all recruiting until further notice. Of- ncers in charge static that in their opinion the cessation in recruiting is caused because the Appropriation for that purpose for the fiscal year end ing July l, 1921, has pbeen exhausted.
 The local recruiting office has been very successful in obtaining men for Uncle Sam's navy. 4 minimum quota of 12 recruits per month has been set for this office, and during no quota.
