PROTEST MARICOPA
COUNTY TAX RATES

Protesting against the high rate of
taxation. a comittee from the cham
ber Of commerce appeared before the
state tax commission yesterday and
presented a resolution in which is
was charged the assessment of prop
erty in Maricopa county in many in
stances was far in excess of the ac-
tual cash value and the tax unequal,
excessive and unjust.
The committee claimed that I'm
other counties where lands were
worth as much as in Phoenix the
rate was not as high. They men
toned specifically Yuma and Graham
counties.
The tax commission took the posi-
ton that it was merely an admins
trative body and that taxes had to
meet the requirement of the state
budget. 1t was explained to the
committee that n per cent Of the
taxes was a matter entirely local
authorities, only 23 per cent being
fixed by the state official The COM
mittee was referred to the county
board of supervisors and the city
commission.
The resolution presented follows:
Whereas, the assessments of prop
erty in Maricopa county. Arizona, are
in many cases far in excess of the
actual cash value of such property,
thereby creating an unequal. excess
i've and unjust tax upon the owners
of such property; therefore be it

CLUB TO PROSECUTE
THOSE WHO DESTROY
NEW HIGHWAY SIGNS

Determined to call a halt to the
wanton and ruthless destruction of
road signs, the Automobile Club of
Arizona has posted standing reward
of S25 for the arrest and conviction
of any person engaged in perpe-
trating this form of malicious mis-
chief.
During the past week several re-
ports have been received that some
of the newly erected enamel signs
have been made the target for fire
arms. Immediately steps were taken
to ferret out the miscreants and see
that they are properly punished. and
at the same time 1T is determined to
make the pastime of shooting up"
the road signs an unpopular one from
now on.
One of the foremost and most APP
preciated undertakings of the club Is
its program for properly signing all
auto roads in the state. These signs
have been erected at considerable
cost and each one represents a
goodly outlay. not only for the sign
itself but for its erection. Now that
the club has gone to this trouble and
expense it intends to see that the
signs are left unmolested, and should
the trouble makers continue their
depredations, it is safe to say they
will find themselves in serious straits
as a result.
The state law specifically prohibits
the destruction of road signs and
provides heavy penalties for those
who are found guilty of in any way
mutilating or destroying them. The
penal code under Title XIV. dealing
with Grimes Against Property" un-
der Chapter XII, section SEQ, says:
Every person who maliciously re-
moves or Injuries any mile-board,
post or stone or guide-post or any
inscription on such, erected upon any
highway is guilty Of misdemeanor."
Section 19 Of the penal code makes
misdemeanors punishable by impris-
onment in a county Jail not exceeding
six months. or by a fine not ex-
ceeding 5000 or by both.
The officers of the club believe
that in view OF the especially clear
wording of the law there win be no
difficulty in securing convictions and
heavy penalties in case OF further
violations. The full weight and in
fluence of the organization will be
thrown toward securing prompt and
vigorous prosecution OF all such
cases.

FOR BETTER PAID DIPLOMATS.

The Secretary OF State has made ii
his business TO appear before a COM
mittee OF the Senate in support of the
Rogers bill, which has for its object
the reorganization OF the diplomatic
and Consular service of the United
States. lie believes that ii was never
more important for this country Ia
be represented abroad by its best men
than al the present time, but 10 get
results this kind Of a career must be
made worth while.
There are two features of the bill
which are intended To improve the
foreign service. one is the amalga-
nation OF the Diplomatic and Con-
sular branches Of the State Depart
ment 50 that there may be an inter
change Of men when there is need
In other words. a competent man who
goes into the Consular service should
/ feel that there is possibility Of his
becoming a diplomat before he dies.
The other is an increase in pay.
II is well known that those who
represent Us in foreign countries are
grossly underpaid. Most Of us are
/ aware that many Of the Ambassadors
are not paid much more than enough
20 house themselves suitably during
| their terms Of office. That Is one OF
the reasons why rich men are 80 often
selected for the important posts. Bat
many Of US do not know that the sec
retaries Of the Embassies receive such
poor salaries that they must possess
private incomes to maintain them
selves.
Aside from these two important
features the time has arrived for ele-
waiting ehe character OF our foreign SER
wise. In the early days Of the Repub-
lie we did not mean much TO Europe
Now we mean a great deal, and it IL
highly desirable that the. changed
status OF the Nation should he reflect.
