STOCK GROWERS WANT
A LOWER TAX RATE

Members Of the board Of directors
of the Arizona Cattle Growers associa-
tion and cattleineil attending the
Frontier Days celebration met in Pres
colt Monday afternoon, the meeting
taking the place OF the midsummer
session of the organization.
Among the things taken up was
the 1924 Taxation of Cattle
in Arizona. Al number of the direc-
tors expressed their views on this
subject and the consensus Of opinion
seemed to be that the tax schedule
on cattle for the present year is ex-
cessive and unwarranted considering
the low value of cattle and the prices
Offered for them.
r. T. Evans, -presiden and
general manager of the government
intermediate credit bank Of Berkeley,
Calf, which includes Arizona in its
district, spoke to the directors and
the cattleanen on the ".Intermediate
Credit Bank" analyzing and explain
ing finances with reference to the
cattle industry.
AInongs the directors of the Ariz-
0na Cattle Growers association, who
attended the meeting, are William
Ellsworth, Stafford. Graham county
director; Henry Alrich, Wenden, Yuma
county director; o. D. M. Gaddis,
Kingman, Mohaye county director;
Bert Golfer, Springerville, Apache
county director; William Zellweger,
Florence, Pinal county director; C. e.
Stewart. Simmons, Yavapai county
director, and H. M. Rice, Phoenix,

APACHE SCHOOL BONDS
BY BIG MAJORITY

From returns at hand it is apparent
that the election Tuesday on the prop
osition to vote bonds of S125,000 to
build high schools at st. Johns and
Round Valley was carried by a vote
of probably two to one.
There was little interest taken in
the election and the vote was light.
In st. Johns there was difficulty in
getting an election board assembled
and it was not until well in the after
noon that voting started. St. Johns
opposed the bond issue, the result
here being 81 votes for and 70 against
Springerville mustered 10 votes in
favor and none against, Edgar had ia
votes for and two against, Alpine II
for and Ia against, Greer "a for and
none against, Concho 80 for and none
against.-St. Johns Observer.

LOSS FROM EPIDEMIC IN
CALIFORNIA is $3,7S2, ,406

An official report issued in Los
Angeles shows that the foot and
mouth disease, up to May 80, cost the
state Of California 93,109 head of
stock representing monetary loss
of $3,732, ,406.41. The heaviest loss
was sustained by the three counties,
Los Angeles, Merced and Contra
Costa.
Few cases have been reported since
May 81 and these are said to be of
minor Importance.
Comparing the ravages of the
disease in California with those in
Great Britain, figures quoted show
that over there 103,775 animals
valued at $14,366, 900 have been de-
stroyed, indicating that other count
ries are awake to the fact that the
slaughter method is the only safe
guard against the disease.

JUDGE ABBEY OF PINAL
RECALLED BY VOTE OF 200

d. L. Green was elected Judge of
the Pinal county superior court Satur-
day in a recall election and Judge
Stephen H. Abbey was recalled. The
sentiment against Judge Abbey was
by more than 200 majority.
It is reported here that Judge Abb
bey will take the case to court. The
vote cast was small. The recall grew
out of several instances recently in
which Judge Abbey participated, in
Guiding the arrest of Judge Abbey for
carrying concealed weapons and the
sentencing of j. w. Spear, Phoenix
editor, to the county jail during con-
tempt proceedings, growing out OF
comment on life sentence pronounc-
ed by Judge Abbey.
