UNCLE BILLY ANDERSON WILL
ACCEPT VOTES FOR ]. r

Uncle Billy Anderson remarked the
other day after his return from a
swing around the circle in quest of
votes for the office of justice of the
peace: II have lived in Flagstaff for
the past AZ years, yet met a man the
other day who had never heard of me
or that was a candidate for the Of
flee of justice of the peace for this
district. He didn't say how he was
going to vote, but | feel confident he
is going to vote for me, since he didn't
seem to know there was such an office
or such man as Bill. Anderson. So
you see it pays to advertise. | never
before fully realized how long it real
ly takes fellow to get acquainted in
a community"
Uncle Billy says he has enjoyed his
trip around the old district meeting
with old friends and has met with fine
among the voters. He
further declares that he has not re-
fused the offer of single vote so far
and insists that he will accept the Of
flee if elected, otherwise he will kind
ly but firmly refuse to serve, though
he hopes the people will not drive him
to that stern decision.

TO COCONINO COUNTY
TAXPAYERS AND VOTERS

am asking for the support of the
people of Coconino county at the polls
on November a. | do so feeling that
my service in the past has been made
up of honest effort to treat the tax
payers fairly and impartially. I am
sure that am safe in saying that
there are not more than one or tive
men in this county who know its
lands better than | do. 1t seems to
me that this experience does meah
something to Coconino county, espe-
cially with reference to the work of
the county assessor.
/ am employed in and am a part of
the biggest business in northern Ari-
zona-that is, the business of Coco,
nino county-and / think the county's
business should be conducted by the
same careful and economical methods
as successful private enterprise.
| have made several reductions and
several raises in property values, and
in each and every case it has been a
matter of better equalization, which
was foremost in my mind
1t was estimated by several asses
sors in this state that the cost of is
suing auto licenses, with postage,
keeping card records and other work
applying to the same, was from 81 to
50 per pair issued. This work was
placed in the assessors office in 1921,
yet the sum of money appropriated
for the annual maintenance of the Of
flee was reduced twice in the last
three years.
AS a servant to the people | owe to
Coconino county my very best efforts,
which | expect to give if elected.
Also, it always has been my policy
on whatever job / happen to be, that
my last days work be as good as the
first.
Thanking you,
VIM. BEESON
The Sun is constrained to say some
thing in regard to Mr.. Beeson's can
didacy that he would not say himself
1t is this: that Billy Beeson has been
the very best assessor this county has
had This without in any way belit-
tling the records made by any of his
who all have been good
men.
This fine record of Mr.. Beesen's Is
partly due TO his wide knowledge OF
conditions throughout this county. He
knows the value of real estate, of i'm
on real estate, Of live
stock, of other properties that come
under taxation. He gives his work
his very best thought and attention.
He is man who never shirks, and
he is honest. and conscientious to the
core. Added to all this is common
sense and absolute impartiality.
If record like this does not justify
his reelection. then there is no justi-
fication of efficiency. No astute man
ager of a big business corporation
would consent to the discharge of a.
man who had given the corporation as
faithful, able and honest service as
Billy Beeson has given Coconino coun-
ty as its assessor. Good business sense
demands his reelection, and reelected
he no doubt win be, judging by the
widespread demand that was made
upon him to again be candidate, a
demand that he for a long time held
)ut against but finally yielded to out
IF Difference to his friends wishes.
