SETTLEMENT REACHED IN
UNITED EASTERN TAX SUIT

Compromise in the controversy be-
tween the state tax commission and
the United Eastern Mining company
over the taxes assessed the mining
company for the years 1922 and 1928
has been reached, it was announced
by e. A. Hughes, chairman of the
state tax commission.
Under it's terms, the state tax COM
mission has issued an order reducing
the valuations placed on the property
of the mining company for the years
1922 and 1923, while the company has
agreed upon receipt of this order to
dismiss the suit it filed in the federal
court to enjoin the tax officials of
the state and of Mohave county from
collecting the delinquent taxes assess
ed upon its property.
The compromise will release to the
state and for the county of Mohave,
several thousands of dollars in taxes
which have been tied up by the litiga-
tion for the years 1922 and 1928 be-
cause of the controversy. The dis
missal of the suit will eliminate the
last mine suit brought against the
tax commission attacking it's method
of assessing the properties of the pro-
ducing mines in the state.

the game. They drew guns and de-
manded the roll, which amounted to
about $500.
Johnson, the proprietor, according
to the report of Jerome officers, also
was watching the game, and pro-
ceeded, following the holdup, to lean
upon buzzer which was used to no
tify the patrons and employees in the
main part of the pool hall that some
thing was wrong in the crap room.
When he did this, one of the bandits
fired at him, hitting Johnson in the
leg, the bullet creasing its way across
one knee. The same bullet continued
on it's way and marked path across
Tony Canovas' knee before it lodged
in the wall.
The robbery was not reported to
the sheriff until late the next day, it
is said. The Mexicans are supposed
to have made their escape by auto

CONGRESS WILDLY PILTNG
UP TAXES ON PEOPLE

The house of representatives last
week by an overwhelming majority
passed the. soldier bonus bill over
President Coolidge's veto, and on
Monday of this week the senate fol-
lowed suit by passing the bill over
the presidents veto by the narrow
margin of two votes.
The soldier bonus bill is now law.
President Coolidge is fighting a
lone fight to save the program of
tax relief and to stop the most for
midable raid ever launched against
the United States treasury. He is
trying TO cut government costs, stop
the waste of taxpayers money, and
insure tax reduction.
Congress is trying to increase gov
ernmental expenses, waste more nat
ional revenue and day by day is
Strangling tax relief. 1t is shaping
a tax measure that will fall hundreds
of millions short of raising revenue
enough for current needs. At the
same time, it passes bill after bill in
creasing government costs.
It passed the Bursum omnibus bill
adding $415 200, 900 to the load in the
next ten years. This, however, was
saved by presidential veto and the
veto sustained in the senate by a
very narrow margin. Now comes the
soldier bonus bill with its estimated
total of $4,000, 100000. A house COM
mittee has approved a postal pay
raise of $70,000,000 a year. In the
senate the farm bloc is pushing the
$200,000,000 McNary-Haughen bill.
There are others to follow. -
The Coconino sun., 1924-05-30

The president has little help from
the ostensible republican majority ir
congress.
Tax reduction is menaced by vote
chasing, class-ridden congress that
loves it's $500 a year job with a
love that passeth understanding.
If our national law makers would
take the trouble to read their home
state papers from the rural districts
they would see the unqualified de-
mands for tax reduction and condem-
nation of the political tactics being
employed in Washington in an effort
to serve selfish interests proceeding
an election. Tax reduction should not
be made a partisan issue.
Congress will have a greater re-
spect for President Coolidge after the
election this fall than it has now.--

a hotel at the top and stood there

"It is going to break. Look there,
now, no it's closed again. Did you

a repetition of sunset except that the

insurance companies in Arizona col

is indicated in the fact that, while life

amounted to $932,502 and the losses

score next November" he said.
Delegates chosen to tire national

COMMUNIST PLOT
TO GUST GALS
CABINET Barred
Two Out, Says Marvin;
Worst Yet to Come

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 81
With two cabinet ministers out and
several more kept busy picking the
tacks off their official chairs, Fred
Marvin, editor Of the Searchlight
Department. of the Nav York Com
mercial, declared in Il speech deliv-
cred under the auspices of the In
dianapolis branch of the National
Metal Trades Association that the
Communist movement was on the
road to success with their plot to
destroy the Coolidge CO net, dis
credit the republican party and open
the fioodgates to a wave of Bolshe-
visit propaganda that would over
throw the United States govern
ment.
DENLY First.
Marvin charged that the Teapot
Dome scandal was an invention of
the Communists, who started the
investigation with the object of
weakening faith in our institutions
and dragging officials before the
public morally and politically naked
so to speak.
DENLY WAS the rrst victim
marked for slaughter by the Com
munists, declared Marvin. He oc-
cupied the important position Of
secretary of the navy. Being a "big
navy man" Mr.. DENLY Immediately
on taking Office proceeded to build
up the feet and place it on a war
footing. This seemed to make the
Communists very angry. So they
met in secret session The did not
say they wore masks) and decided
to get DENLY. The rest was easy.
A few instructions TO their agents
in the senate and DENLY was seen
saying good bye to his friends and
lodging the photographers on his
way to the political scrub brush.
Such is the power Of the Commuh-
lists.
Skids Creased for Others.
Having disposed of DENLY, they
next turned their guns on Harry
M. Daugherty. He committed the
crime of preventing mass action on
the American railroads during the
shopmen's strike" His doom was
sealed. The Communists deliber-
ately and With malice nforethought
brought so much evidence of his
patriotism" in the form of "assem-
bIng with" divers grafters and evil
doors that the American people had
to wear gas masks while his con-
duct was under scrutiny. Coolidge
was finally obliged to drive Daugh-
erty out but not before the people
were beginning to become convinced
that Coolidge was as brig crook as
paugherty.

ing story Of Communist propaganda.

Martin is veteran inventor, pilot

During the war he was sent abroad
as an expert on aircraft engineering,
but was deprived of his credentials
while there and finally took COM
mand of ship, since he was an ex-
perienced navigator.
This ship was in War Department
service and was loading for return
to America from Brodeaux, in July
1919, when he was notified that he
had been transferred with his ship to
the service of the American Relief
Administration. Hoover cabled him
orders to take on a cargo of food and
motor trucks and proceed to Ham
burg and Reval. He believes his en-
emies in the aircraft combine con-
spired to get him sent into mined and
dangerous waters in this way.
He sailed to Reval, taking as a
passenger a General Wall, who rep
resented the Kolchak, Denikin and
