Some Republicans in trying to just
ify the high valuation placed on prop
erty in this state say the law forced
them to assess at full cash value. I'm
der Democratic administrations prop
erty was assessed at its actual value,
and when the assessments reached the
State Board of Equalization at JEFF
ferson City the Democrats saw it
would produce more taxes than would
be neededt to run the state and ordered
the clerk of the county to reduce the
value shown on the assessors books
by two-thirds on all farm lands, and
one-half on town property. In 1920
the assessed valuation Of farm lands
in Pemiscot county totaled, in round
numbers, $22,000,0 900. But the land
owners paid on a valuation of little
over 100000, since the Democratic
State Board of Equalization ordered
the county clerk to reduce the valua-
ton on each tract by two-thirds. In
1921, the valuation on land in this
county, as shown by the assessment
book, was slightly over $4,000, 900,
but instead of the county clerk recefv-
ing instruction from jefferson City to
take off two-thirds of this amount he
received instructions to add 80 per cent
to the amount. The County Court was
so incensed at such stupendous figures
that it made trip to Jefferson City
to plead for reduction. A few weeks
later part of the 80 per cent was
taken off, and later Judge Cole and
Paul Bestor made second trip and
obtained another small concession. So,
now the farmers are paying in 1921
on valuation Of approximately $22,-
100000, while in 1920 they paid on a
total valuation of approximately ST.
100000. The tax receipts tell the
story, Read 'em and weep.-Caruth-

which is the more fundamental The
parents owe duty to the child inner
emily, regardless Of the conduct of
that child. The child owes duty to
its parents only insofar as they per-
form their duty toward it. The duty
of the parents is a primary one; that
of the child a secondary one. Yet how
often we see these duties performed i'll
portionately. How often we see the
divorce courts relieving one or both
+of the parents from their duty. How
often dc. we hear of undeserying par
Fents demanding a duty from their
children which they have failed to
make duty.
The greatest duty of parents toward
a child is to see that it enjoys its
rights to be q child. The period of
childhood comes but once. Its pure,
simple, healthy pleasure can be en-.
joyed but once. Among the happiest
days of life are those strenuous, care
free ones of the "play show" and the
swimming" hole. Oh, the joy Of
those childhood times and the benefit
to mind and body of their freedom;
what must be the misfortune of the
man or woman who has never been a
real child? What duty it issof par
ents to see that their children enjoy
their right to be a real child.-Ex.

(Continued from Page OneI to develop water in dry farming reg ions and making appropriations there for. which is a great benefit to dry farmers.
 Senate Bill 196 an act to provide for the education of school children living too far away from any regular yy organized district for attendance there.
 House Bill 60 which has been a great help to the small homesteader. The passage of this act also made 1t possible for Coconino County to re- ceive s219, ,0oO from the revenue de- rived from the leased land of the state. $6O,OOO of that amount has already been paid into the Count3 Treasury.
 The above are only a few of the beneficial laws which Senator Camp bell helped to pass.
 Another proof of the ability Of MT. Campbell is to be found in the fact that he was chosen to represent Washington and that the Livestock Industry of Arizona was greatly ben efitted thru his efforts there.
 Hugh Campbell is good roads en- thusiast, a believer in good schools and @ warm friend of the ex-sold1er. He is 8 stockman and is very keenly interested in the development of az riculture in this county. If sent to the Senate by the voters of Coconino County he will work untiringly for the best interests of farmer and stockman.
 Another important consideration which voters should not overlook is this: a large number of the senators who served alongside Hugh four years ago. are being returned to the Senate this fall MT. Campbell is already on good working terms with these men and his influence will be felt from the first day of the session as copld not be the case with man un- acquainted with the other senators. The interests of Coconino county will be well guarded in the State Senate if~Hugh E. Campbell is elected at the polls November '.
 Elect Hugh Campbell and get things done.
