Fifteen Millions
I'm Excess Taxes

Taxpayers in Southern California
have been relieved of the payment
Of more than fifteen million dollars
in federal taxes during the three
years ending April /. 1925, through
the recommendation of COLLECTOR of
Internal Revenue Rex b. Goodcell.
Rebates made to taxpayers which
amounted to SIP, 2,305, ,632.SS repre-
sent abattmcntS due to erroneous
assessments and in addition $3,069,-
030.69 has been refused to taxpay-
ers on account of overpayment of
taxes. These figures do not include
refunds and abatements due 10 de
crease in tax rates amounting 10
$7,000,oO0.
The greater part of this Stagger-
ing refund was due to errors made
by taxpayers in making out their
income tax returns, Collector Good
cell said yesterday.
In auditing income returns Col
lector Goodcell declared that the
policy of his office was TO protect
impartially the interests of tax
payer and government alike. Where
the audit shows that taxpayers
have included in their returns in
come that is non-taxable or have
failed To take advantage Of allow
able deductions, taxpayers are Civ
Ell checks for the amount of their
overpayments. These refunds and
rebates discovered through audits
made under Collector Goodcell's di-
rection have reached the fourteen
million dollar mark and have es-
tablished the fact that the govern
ment 5 policy is to protect the tax
payer. revenue officials declared.

BIG FAMILIES.

nNE HUNDRED AND TEN chill
" dren, grandchildren and great
grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Nance, gathered at the
home farm of the Names at Tot;
tenviIle. N. Y, some days ago for
a family reunion. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nance are respectively "a and u
years of age There are few folks
now of that age who could assem-
BILE one-fifth of that number of
descendants.
The Names brought up their
family in time when people raised
children with less effort. In these
days couple of lively youngsters
will keep most people pretty busy,
with all the things they are getting
into, and the demands they make.
The spirit of the earlier times
made it customary for children to
manifest obedience without Ques-
ton, which made it easier to handle
a large farmily of them.

GARDENING
CONTRIBUTED

To one who writes so cleverly on
gardening
And therein tells me how to
plant and raise
A garden of sweet, toothsome yege-
tation,
1 dedicate these verses all in
praise.
She must have given deep consid-
Grafton
Of how to space and leave the
proper room,
To coax the little seed to germina-
tiOn,
And thereby make The Desert
Garden bloom.
And tells me of the kind that's
most successful,
That thrives right merrily in
local soil;
The joy of work that's interesting,
And pays you well for just a
little toll
And warns me to beware of high
speed squash bugs;
On the little paintings keep a
watchful eye.
To plant thickly through the gar
den many onions
Those strong defenders cause the
bugs to cry.
And tells of many kinds of charm
ing flowers
Whose smiling beauty oft dispels
the gloom
And beautifies the face of Charm
ing Nature
And ever makes the dear old
Desert bloom.

MESSAGES FROM CAMP.

CIxTEEN THOUSAND young
men were reported enrolled at
the Citizens Military Training
camps on July II, and 10000 addi-
tiona1 will have been enrolled when
the camps all get to work. 1t is a
very interesting thing to think of
nearly 10000 young men obtaining
direct instruction from the United
States government, and soon to re-
turn to their homes after this new
experience.
They should bring home new
spirit of patriotism. It should be
a message not merely of the obli-
cation of every American to sup
port his government in time of
war, but the thought that a country
can produce manhood of our fine
American type is worth our best
devotion in times of peace The
friends and associates of these
fellows ought to be inspired by the
example they have set to feel that
they too can serve the same cause
that these camps were meant to
promote, by doing their best all the
time to make America the land Of
the highest manhood and woman
hood and civic spirit.

Drawing a Moral From
Horned Toad's Attack
On Concrete Pipe Man

Look out, now, old-timer, we are
about willing to bet our shirt that
you are going to say a horny toad
never did bite anything bigger than
a fly or a red ant. But listen, we
have the word of very reliable
man who knows of one that did
Harry Tellyer, engineer in
charge of the city water concrete
pipe line works, met up with one
of these desperate toads last week.
Mr.. Tellyer picked up the froggie,
as he had done to others many
times before, when all of a sud-
den, without warning, the beast
grabbed Harry's finger.
Now, Mr.. Tellyer was surprised,
about as much so as the bulldog
when the jackrabbit chased him.
Being a scientific man, however, he
never complained. He released the
horned toad from his hand and
let him hang to his finger, the toad
showing no inclination to let go.
Mr.. Tellyer continued on his tour
of inspection down the pipeline,
the toad hanging on for nearly
half a mile. He said that though
the toad was not large, he sue
ceeded in drawing blood from the
finger.
Harry believes the high altitude
here was responsible for the toad's
ferocity. If this is the case we
must go easy before completing the
San Francisco Boulevard Think
of the many Flagstaff homes that
would be wrecked when henpecked
husbands went up on the peaks for
a weekend trip and came home
and beat up their wives.-Coconino

THE FANGS OF THE
MONSTER

Editor, The Mail:
/ respectfully request your per-
mission to check up Through The
Winslow MaiD on the gentleman
who recently attempted to check
up on The Winslow Mail.
He said: Our suspicion of some
inaccuracy grew out of our knowl
edge that the Gila monster has no
fangs %
Ditmars, the greatest authority
on reptiles, says, in THE Reptile
Book:
"a wild Gila monster is a really
formidable creature, if human arm
or limb be within reach of it's pow
erful jaws. The reptiles sudden
twists as it snaps from side to
side are wonderfully agile and diff
-ficu1t to avoid. During such dem
onstrations it gives voice to sharp
misses and opens it's jaws widely,
disclosing the black mouth-parts.
Unfortunate indeed is the unwary
one seized in those fang-studded
Jaws, for the lizard retains it's hold
with tenacity rivaling a bulldog
The jaws must be actually pried or
torn apart in order to free the OBJ
iect grasped, but to do this is be-
yond the power of the unaided
fingers. If the head of the reptile
be severed from the body, the
vise-like grip remains the same.
1t is when the jaws are thus en-
gagged and the fangs of the lower
are imbedded, that the poisonous
saliva flows from the swollen
glands of the chin, fills the grooves
of the venom-c0nducting teeth, and
Is absorbed into the wounds caused
by them"
So, unless this great authority
ON reptiles is nature faker, the
ella monster has fangs.
If this is not sufficient proof that
it has fangs, will shortly have
access to two other publications
which describe these fangs.
Kindly mail the gentleman a
marked copy containing this letter,
as we would also like to check up
on him in regard to that "end-to-
end" movement he claims the Gila
monster does.
I would like to see one do that;
in fact, we will bet him as much as
he likes that it can not be done
We would like for him to explain,
at least, the "modus operandi," as
he calls it.
Sincerely,
INDIAN MILLER.

The SkepHcaL

THE recent election and Inauguration
L OF new Mexican president took
place with such perfect peace and order
that many of us imagine that there is an
Ethiopian in the proverbial woodpie, and,
i'm fact, We find il extremely difficult 10
give the country credit for turning over
new leaf We feel that the Outs have
something up their sleeves in the way of
shenaniganS. which they will spring upon
the ms when an opportuue occasion pre-

We are unable TO convince ourselves
that all OF the MeXicans have resigned
themselves peaceaby TO a new govern
ment. II is difficult in spite of reports,
TO feel that the recently installed govern
ment is such an improvement over the old
that IL will WELD a powerful and Just
Scepter over It's subjects; we can hardly
visualize the idea that il has undergone
any reformation sufficient to lift It's lnteg-
nty above corruption,
In fact, we are apt 10 be reminded Of
the story of the Mexican general of Old
Mexico, He was maguiticently adorned
with heavy gold braid, gaudy decorations
and elaborate medals As he rode up TO
the sentry, the latter stood rgidly at atten-
