CHARGES MADE NAVAJO
CATTLE TAKEN FOR TAXES
HAS NO FOUNDATION
fContinued frem Page One)

man of the Indian Affairs committee
|of the general federation of Woman's
clubs, and from my acquaintance with
her that she has no other desire than
to see that justice is done to all con-
Hcerned.n
Congressman Hayden advised Mrs.
Atwood as follows.
Believe you will find that county
taxes have been assessed against live
stock belonging to Individual Indians
who are grazing same on public do
main. About two years ago was adj
Evised by superintendent at Leupp that
Indians much preferred to pay taxes
rather than jeopardize grazing phivi-
Ileges. Seriously doubt If courts will
hold that even if original stock was
purchased with trust money that in
crease after many generations not
Eowned by tribe and not grazed on
reservation is exempt from taxation.
| am convinced in this instance that
Indians should pay equitable tax
charges the same as other citizens
Thereby preserving not only their
legal rights but what Is more inn
|portant their self respect. Any other
policy tends to pauperize them and
can only result in determined effort
to compel them to confine their flocks
and herds within their reservation.
Sincerely trust that no hasty or ILL
advised action will be, taken which in
the end may do more harm than good.
Greatly appreciate your advisino me
regarding this matter and regret that
other business prevents meeting you
lin Flagstaff
Joe Rickel, clerk of the county board
|of supervisors advises The Sun that
mo Indian cattle have been assessed in
Coconino county since the year 1920
and is very doubtful if they were as
sessed before that time. Assessments
have been levied against Indian auto
truck owners when trucks were used
for transfer purposes.
AS near as can be learned, the state
authorities did seize 312 head of In
dian cattle at the Giddings range din,
that number being rs per cent of the
cattle dipped; but that when protest
was lodged the cattle were given back
to the Indians,

UPPER BASINERS SAY
THEY SYMPATHIZE WITH Us

-
Phoenix. Water commissioners Of
Utah, Colorado and Wyoming were
here in Phoenix on an inspection -of
the states of the lower basin of the
Colorado river. They inspected the
Roosevelt dam and left Monday for
New Mexico to pay their respects to
Gov. A. T. Hannett.
The party, composed Of DELPHI e.
Carpenter of Colorado, w. r. Wal
lace Of Utah, and S. G. Hopkins of
Wyoming, and State Engineer Bacon
of Utah, came from the Imperial val
ley of California, where they in
spected development work on the
lower Colorado river
Mr.. Carpenter of Colorado asserted
that the complacence of the upper
basin states in the. solution of the
river problem, especially as it con-
Germs the lower basin, should not be
taken for indifference.
Our position has been that of a
neighboring commonwealth"
he said. Eve have not sought to IN
terfere or to hand out counsel to the
momentous questions which have in
volved the lower basin states. We
have recognized these questions as Of
peculiar significance to those states
and that they should be left to work
out the solutions in their own ways.

TRAVEL OCtES FEATURE
ROTARY'S TUESDAY MEET

Travelogues and service talks fea-l
tured the Rotary meeting on Tuesday,
Jimmie Lewis welding the gavel over
those he had impressed into service on
his program.
Tom Bellwood, just home with his
wife from an auto trip to the Atlantic
and back and two months in England,
gave graphic account of some of the
things they saw and of postwar con-,
ditions in England. Cost of living
there is about the same as here and,
wages about a fourth ours. There is,
much unemployment, partly because
the government is still paying dole" "
to the unemployed nearly as large as
the wages they could get, which
makes many unwilling to work. Tom
intimated that pleasures and attrac-
tions there didn't appeal to him this
time as they did when he was a boy
andzhe was very glad to get back to
Flagstaff and Teachers college.
Rev. FIR. Albouy gave an interesting
talk on justification of classification
as applied to Rotary membership.
Ralph r. Davis gave a service talk
about the uses and values of mahog-
any and walnut in furniture building
He didn't soften the furniture with
any upholstery, which was more than
compensated for in the good cigars he
brought along in penanee for having
had another birthday inflicted upon
him.
Billy Switzer told a new one--rlot a
joke, but about something that is no
Joke for those who get caught that
way. He described the harmful re-
suits possible to the wearer of re-
dyed shoes in case they were worn
wet with the dye and it penetrated to
the skin, in which event it was likely
to be absorbed with disastrous re-
suits. Numerous people have been
poisoned that way and some have died.
c. B. Wilson described the high
points in the automobile trip he and
his family recently took to the north
west in which some of the objectives
were Vancouver, Mt. Rainier and
Lake Tahoe. They had a great time
and saw wonderful scenery, but the
implication was that most of the lat
ter finds a ready discount in what we
have around here.
State Senator Walter Runke made
a strong plea for Eyes" votes on the
compensation amendment being voted
on at the Special election held that
day.
Tom Bellwood shOne in his old job
as song-leader;> and Miss Elsa Myers
played the piano accomplishments.
Visiting Rotarians: Harry Tellyer
of San Diego and Sam Killen Of Dali
hart, Texas. Other guests: Miss
Myers, Mr.. Runke, Ray H. Downer, G..
E. Danewood, Henderson Stockton,
the Phoenix attorney; 7. E. McCul-
lough Of Prescott, Rev. E. L. Freeland
and Baron James-V Auriemma.

OPEN ROAD INSPECTION
STATION AT HOLBROOK

Monday morning the Arizona CONF
mission of agriculture and horticul-
ture opened an inspection station OPP.
pogiSe the Santa.sFe section house on
the National Old Trails highway just
west of town to intercept all west
bound automobile traffic. H. G. Har-
ling of Phoenix is the inspector in
charge of the service and is assisted
by s.. F. Potts and Claud Aker, inspec-
tors, also of Phoenix.
The road inspection service was es-
tablished here for the purpose of IN
tercepting automobile traffic for m
sect pests and plant diseases that
might become a menace to the agri-
cultural industry of Arizona. A "a
hour service is being maintained with
inspectors working in three eight-hour
shifts from a. m. to p. M, from A
D. m. to midnight, and from midnight
to the morning shift. The Holbrook
station provides sleeping quarters for
the inspectors as well as an office,
and has a long platform from which
automobiles are inspected.
According to the daily report regis
ter at the inspection station, 103 west
bound automobiles were inspected for
contraband material Monday and SO
on Tuesday. The inspectors register
the license number Of the automobiles,
where from, destination, and the name
Of owners.
During the first two days of the in
spection a watermelon, citrus fruits
and six ears Of corn We're taken from
automobiles coming from eastern and
middle western states. All of this
contraband material was infested, the
corn coming from Ohio and showing
evidence of the European corn borer,
pest that somehow found it's way
over to the New England states from
Europe. Raw cotton and alfalfa,
which show evidence of ,Weavel in
( festion, was also scontraband material
and confiscated by the inspectors.
A station is also located at Spring
erville at the Junction of the roads
leading from Alpine, Ariz., and So
Icorro, N. NJ, which, together with the
Holbrook station, catches all traffic
from the east.
The maintenance Of the inspection
service at these stations makes the
eastern border of Arizona well pro-
tected as practically all cars entering
this state from the outside must have
passed inspection at one of these two
points, including the federal station
located at Lordsburg, N. M.-Hol-
brook Tribune.

SCHNEBLf HILL ONE OF THE
BEAUTY SPOTS OF ARIZONA
Sedona, September 9, 1875

AlL404lA1 A1@D@<&AACEA ~ @-<l7
Editor Of The Coconino Sun:
A few weeks ago you printed a
piece written tby T.. A. Dunn, describ-
ing the beauty of Oak Greek canyon.
/ have nothing to say against Oak
Creek canyon, for it is all Mr.. Dunn
said it was, but / have this to say
about his calling Schnebly hill "fa-
nous or infamous Schnebly hill"
If you can take the word Of at least
tWo-thirds of the travelling public,
Schnebly hill stands first in Arizona
or any place else for beauty. | can
get the names of fifty travelling men
and women before the. season is over
to prove what | say. If Mr.. Dunn
or any one else will come and stay
at the foot Of Schnebly hill one week
and ask the travelling public he will
find that two-thirds will say that the
Grand Canyon only has it beat in size
but not IN beauty; SO when you knock
Schnebly you also knock Oak Greek
canyon, for they go hand in hand.
There is no prettier drive than up
Oak Greek and back down Schnebly.
| believe that the people of Cotton
wood, Clemenceau, Clarkdale and Je-
rome will say the same, for a lot Of
them make the round-trip on Sunday.
Yours,

They picked him up and when they
reached his car found itsin flames, the
result, it is believed, of a short cir
ctit. They put the blaze out with
dirt The chassis, engine and three
tires were all that was left of the
new car
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson took Mr..
Mayhew on to Leupp with them,
bringing him back to Flagstaff the
next morning After a few hours he
was back on the job at his store and
studio, none the worse for his exper-
ience except that he was lame pretty
much all over. The car was fully
covered by insurance.
It is likely the car did not begin
to burn until at least an hour after
Carl left it. That road isn't travelled
a great deal, especially during that
time of the day. That he wasn't hurt
worse and thus kept in the car until
it began to burn is something he and
his many friends will use with the

All In The DAYS Work.

What are the duties of a public
health nurse?" Miss c. Ethel Monroe,
Advisory Nurse of the State Depart
ment of Health, was asked recently.
Her reply showed the many ways in
which the county nurses help to pre-
vent disease and to promote the
health of the people of Maryland.
Here is her summing up
Because of her training and exper-
ience, the public health nurse can do
many things that are of benefit to
either the individual or to the COM
munity, that no other individual is in
position to DO.
"She can aid materially in the re-
duction of communicable diseases,
such as tuberculosis, typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles and
the other infectious diseases. She
goes into the homes in which such
diseases have developed and under
the direction of the local health Off
Ger, or at the request of the family
