whose duty it Is to. receive q list of
the property which each tax payer
returns for taxation; tnat Is, he has
a printed form or which you list
your property ana its value for tax
purposes; after you have listed your
property ANA signed he form you
leave it with this officer. The law
requires that he must begin receiF-
ing returns on the first day Of Feb
ruary and shall close his books on
the first day of May; therefore he
iS.s-engaged in receiving returns
three months in the year, FEBRUARY,
March and April. When he closes
his books on the first of May It is
then his duty to deliver the returns
to the Board of County Tax Asses
sors, and the duties of the Tax Re-
ceiver are completed until the next
coming February, except to con@oli-
date the returns, as under the pres
ent law the Receiver has nothing 70
do with the fixing Of tax values
2. The Board of County Tax As
SCISSORS. composed Of three men be-
gin their work on May 10th, and
their duty is to check over the tax
returns as delivered to them by the
Tax Receiver, see that every tax
payer has returned his property for
taxation and seek to equalize all Of
such property, that is to fix tie
basis of valuation the same. The law
requires that they should complete
their work by the first Of July.
3. The Tax Collector must then
calculate the amount of tax which
each tax. payer owes and issue Il
receipt For the taxes as paid. The
law provides that all taxes must De
paid BY December goth and that
the Tax Collector must make a final
settlement with the State and Cojm-
ty not later than April goth. The
Tax Collector also collects the spe-
cial or business licenses imposed Gy
the State on most every kind of bust
ness, for which he receives a com
mission of 10 per cent.
The Evil
The principal evil of this present
system, or rather the most general
complaint made about it, is that
there are now two officers, Re-
ceiver and Collector. one working
a little over three months in the
year, and the other working the re-
maninder or part of the remainder
of the year, both receiving the same
amount of receives, and each lin
naosts sceunties1 receiving enough in
fees i'd pay for the work of both.
And, secondly, that there is no ne
$500 cessity for two such officers, as one

will be necessary fo-i the county
commissioners to levy a specific tax
Tor that purpose.
In conclusion, it should be under
stood that this amendment will not
become effective, that is, these two
offices cannot be changed and com
bined until 1929; it will not effect

RATS IN RATIFICATION

Diversion altitude of Highline
canal magnified and misrepre-
sented to appear unfeasible for
irrigating $500. 900 acres of land.
No warrant for unreasonable
assumption that loss from eyap-
oration and seepage is 5 to 8 per
cent, when actual loss is only one
half of one per cent.
Overdrawn report of federal
engineers has for its real object
a threat to stability of Highline
Canal in order to defeat and de-
stroy completion of the project
by the State of Arizona, by CO.
operation of federal court.
That "bogie man scarecrow"
erected by the federal engineers
was an unfair discrimination
against Arizona and designed as
an aid to force ratification, which
robs the State of it's birthright
in natural resources
The Colorado river is Arizona's s
Teapot Dome and her people will
not sell it by ratification of a
compact that will take it away
from them.
Ratification means putting the
flaw into Arizona's title to the

wings of his Curtiss racing plane
crumpled In the air. The pilot, un.
able in the swift and short drop to

and mother Of his two sons. She wit
messed the accident.
The accident occurred as four racing
planes started across the line in the
Pulitzer race, an event for which a
qualifying speed Of ITS miles an hour
is necessary. The planes had climbed
to an altitude Of 5000 feet and were
diving straight for the starting line.
