hands Of the manufacturer, the
tax being. passed on to the pur-
chaser; once every year by the
state in connection with the re-
newal, and once a year in the
personal property tax. The own
er of the car pays all three of
these taxes. Should he be obliged
to pay for a fourth when no other
kind of property seems to be
taxed more than twice?
Those who defend the tax do
so mainly on the ground that
people who use the roads should
pay for them, and that the tax
thus collected be regarded as go
ing into the good roads fund pro-
vided by the federal government
to help out state highway con-
struction, To this is answered
that the automobiliBts are already
making special tax contributions
to public highways. and that II
they are to pay more, it is only
fair that the money raised in any
state should go directly to its
own highways.

REAL HELP In SIGHT FOR DIS
ABLED SOLDIERS


paign, California, Arizona and
Nevada, began August 18th, as
previously announced in these
columns. The two squads with
a full complement of medical
examiners and representatives OF
the Bureau of War Risk msur-
ance, Public Health Service and
Federal Board of Vocational Ed
ucation began their tours from
the opposite ends of the State.
The northern unit began IN
Eureka and will work through
the northern and central parts OF
the State, closing its tou; in Ne
vada.
The southern unit started at
Visalia, going through Southern
California and finishes its work
in Arizona.
The success of this effort to
reach the disabled men and wo-
men of the late war, in the main,
depends upon the cooperation OF
local agencies as it is impossible
for the cleanup squad to remain
long in one place. Now is the
time to bring to the attention OF
government representatives in
person, worthy cases of disabled
service people who have either
been neglected or who have failed
to apply for the provisions al
ready made for their relief.
In the larger centers, it has
been comparatively easy to reach
the majority of the disabled. In
the larger towns and cities, re-
lief agencies have both ample
facilities and extensive exper-
ience in preparing the necessary
paper work" for claimants.
The real problem lies in getting
in touch with the large number
of ex-service men who have re-
turned to the ranches, mines and
remote sections. Many of these
men constitute the most deserv-
ing cases, who, being out of
touch, are either unaware of the
provisions made for their bene-
fit or who do not feel equal to
the task of unwinding the mass
of red tape which they learned
from their military experience
surrounds everything connected
with Washington.
1t is particularly for the benefit
of this portion of our deserving
veterans that the present drive
has been organized and for that
reason the larger centers will re-
ceive less attention than the re-
mote sections.
In these regions, where many
q game veteran has returned to
his home or the scenes of his
former employment, grimly de-
termined to make the best of
it," news travels slowly. Too
much stress cannot be laid upon
the patriotic duty which develops
upon all of us to carry THE glad
tidings" to every disabled wet"
within possible reach. Instead
of condemning the government
for being remiss in its duty TO-
ward these men, let us as good
citizens, embrace the opportunity
at this time to cooperate with the
government in discharging its
obligations to its preservers and
our defenders.

PHOENIX FARMS UN-
DER FLOOD WATER

Phoenix-Flood waters from
Cave Creek which Friday night
threatened to inundate north
western Phoenix, subsided with.
out reaching the city, but covered
much valuable farming land in
the Salt River valley.
One man, Guy C. Richards, was
killed and his brother, Carl P.
Richards, was seriously injured
when the Anderson garage was
blown down by the wind. Prop
erty damage, estimated at $500,
600 has been done in Glendale.
and dwellers in northwestern
Phoenix and the lowlaDds be-
tween Phoenix and Glendale were
advised to seek safety from an
unexpected flood as the result of
a wind, rain and hail storm late
Friday.
Cave creek was a raging flood
and the Arizona canal. the main
artery in the Salt River valley
irrigation system, was broken
en- ia three places. Seven build
ings were virtually demolished
by the wind and the water was
standing one foot deep in Glen
dale.
Phoenix Flood waters from
Cave Creek, reinforced by the
heavy rainfall Sunday, poured
through breaks IN the Arizona
canal. made last Friday, and in
undated the western end of Phoe-
nix and thousands of acres of
farm lands to the north, SUBJ
merging them to a depth rang
ing from a few inches to several
feet.
While the flood was one of the
most~severe experienced here in
several years, officials of the
Water Users Association stated
that in volume and duration it
did not equal that of the fall of
1919. Ranches and homes thru
the affected district were flooded
and many inhabitants were COM
PEELED to leave their homes for
safety.
Fire Chief William d. Simmons
estimated that several hundred
homes in northwestern Phoenix
and the territory north of the
city had been flooded. He based
his estimates on reports made by
the firemen who worked all night
in the flooded district rescuing
persons in danger.
