is IT A CRIME!

so-called peoples" paper takes
number of corporations TO task
for announcing that they intend to
fight any increase in taxation at ell
ection8 two years hence. This pap
er leaves the impression with its
readers that a corporation, is vir-
tually in the criminal class for
fighting against taxation which is
threatening to confisc8te property.
II is such metropolitan yellow
journalism as this that we have to
thank for the rapid growth Of our
tax bill. These papers fool the peo-
pie by saying Let the corporations
pay" But who pays the corpora
tion III order that it may pay its
taxes? No one but the people"
Let the people get this idea clear
~ in their heads, taxation is part of
the cost of doing business which the
ultimate consumer must pay. II
makes no difference in what form it
IS collected, tho man who makes the
last purchase pays the total tax.
If a few common citizens would
Join with the corporations which arc
condemned for fighting against con
fscation Of their property through
taxation we would have q better adj
ministration of state and national
governments and, our tax bill would
begin to decrease instead Of con
stantly increasing.

BLACK SHALE IN THE WINSLOw
H0LBR00K OIL FIELDS
(Holbrook Tribune)

Since Dorsey Hagar made his
t2st report, there has been much
speculation as to whether there is
or is not black shale or organic
shale in the Holbrook field. The
question is important because it is
from black or organic shale that oil
IS presumed to come. In the imnle
diate vicinity of Holbrook, where
the Coconino Pennsylvania SANDS
are exposed the upper strata has
been eroded away so that BLACK
shale if it had existed is not found
and if the shale is below the Coco
nino sandstone it is at such depth
that only test we'll can determine
the question. Because Of this sit
uation, and because of the questions
raised, geological investigation has
has recently been made in the
Grand Canyon region, in the San
Juan field at the north and in the
Magdalena On M field ON the east.
The purpose of the investigation is
to determine if any lower black
shale beds are exposed at any of
these points. 1t will be of interest
to the friends of the H0lbrook oil
field to know that black or green
organic shale has been found in all
Of them and in the Grand Canyon
p bed of organic shale 800 feet thick
has been discovered. and one Of the
abieSt geologists of America has re
Gently authorized a statement to the
effect that while no one can tell
what change in structure may oc-
cur. it is fair to presume that there
may be q shale bed in the lower
part of the Pennsylvania series und-
er the Holbrool1 field, as this whole
region was once part Of common
sea bed
Those who are less informed con
cerning the significance of this stat
ment call attention to the fact that
under ordinary circumstances a bed
of organic shale 30 feet thick is con
sidared sufficient for the production
Of oil in commercial quantities, and
the discovery of 300-foot bed in
the Grand Canyon supports the view
Of many that when oil is found in
the Holbroolz field the wells will be
exceedingly productive. - Ilolbrook

WINSL0W'S BALL TEAM WINS
FLAGSTAFF T0URN NAMENT

Eonors were heaped upon the
Wins1ow baseball club when on the
3rd and 4th of July our boys partic-
ipated in the base ball tournament
at Flagstaff, coming out victors and
winning the $500 prize offered for
the final game.
On the 3rd the the locals were
pitted against the Flagstaff club,
game starting at 1920 a. m. with
Parke on the mound for Winslow
and Lefty Lewis doing the twirling
for the Flagstaff club. Lewis last
ed two innings when Mr.. Edward
Clark, cur beefy left fielder knock
ed one for four sacks scoring one
man ahead of him. Mr. Lewis was
then called to the bench. Mr. Coch-
ran who succeeded Lewis Jared a
good deal better and pitched the
balance of the game, but was wal
loped for three rims in the seventh
inning which finally won the game
for Winslow Parke pitched good
ball at all stages of the game and
was well supported by his team
mates except in the third inning
when the infield had bad spell
which accounted for most of the
Flagstaff runs. The final score was
Winslow Z. Flagstaff 6.
The final game of the tournament
was played between Winslow and
kingman on the afternoon Of the
Fourth. Winalow started things in
a rush, grabbing off seven runs in
the first inning Hitchcock did the
twirling for the Winslow bows, and
had the Kingman player bafned all
the time, allowing them only about
five hits throughout the entire
game. As in the first game. all the
men played good ball giving their
pitcher good support and showing
none of the firing effects of former
games. Final score was Winslow
Z, Kingman 5.
The $1,000 purse was disbursid
as follows: Winslow. $500: King
man, $500: Holbrook, 500; and

times point our finger with scorn at
the big city of Los Angeles Yet
Los Angeles today is the largest

WHEN TO PULL UP

We once knew a colOred man who
spent a good deal of time fishing,
but who seldom brought home any
fish. We wondered about it, and one
day crept down to the creek where
he was fishing. After that we did
not wonder. He had baited his
hook with big fat worm, dropped
it in the water and then hung his
pole in a tree where the fish could
grab the bait. Then he laid down
on the bank and went to sleep.
When he awoke he pulled i'll his
line the hook was bare The fish
had nibbled the bait off and gone
on their way, tickled over the fish
erman's ignorance.
He hadn't caught any fish simply
jerk the pole when the fish nibbled.
And there are some men right
here in Winslow going through life
the same way that fellow fished
They go through all the preliminar-
les to doing a good business then
they drop into snooZe and leave
the fish to eat UP all the bait. They
put one ad in the paper-and. then
never back up that ad when it gets
the prospective customer into the
store. They hang up their sign, but
not there to pull on the line when
it is time to draw in the business
A man can start on thousand
mile trip in five minutes but he has
got to keep travelling to get to the
place he is headed for And he can
work up a big business when he
puts q single ad in the paper-pro-
vided he follows it up in a careful.
sensible. systematic way Think
this over, you men who, like the
fisherman, are not prepared to jerk
on the pole when the fish bites
