CLARK SAYS TOWERING
TAXES TELL THE TALE

Phoenix, Aug. 26.-Declaring that
there is no necessity for the levying
of higher taxes but that there is a
desperate need to conserve, and re-
ceive full value for, the tax moneys
now being raised, E. S. Clark, repub-
lican candidate for governor, de-
clares:
ARIZONA is now burdened with the
highest tax rate in its history, with
out corresponding benefits. In spite
of most positive assurances of reduc-
tion, the tax burden has mounted an
nually. This cannot and must not
continue. There does not seem to
have been a feeble attempt to prac-
tice economy in the disposition of
public funds, and widespread extrav
agance is apparent. 1t has been said
that the governor cannot prevent
this. / cannot agree with this view.
1t is true that the governor cannot
do it all, but by making persistent
and resolute resistance to extravagant
appropriations, by the use of the veto
power if necessary, and especially by
calling the attention of the taxpayers
to leaks in the treasury and fixing
the responsibility, he can directly and
indirectly bring about great savings
Of public money. 1t will be my pur-
pose to see that rigid economy is sub
stituted for the laxity now prevailing
in almost every department of the
state. We certainly do not need to
levy higher taxes, but we desperately
need to conserve the tremendous sums
we are already extorting from our
taxpayers, and employ unceasing dill
igence toward some measure of re-
lief"
Mr.. Clark points to the long list
of sheriff sale notices on farms for
delinquent taxes as prima facie evil
dence that the farmer at least is un-
able to bear the tax burden upon him.
He declares that if elected governor,
he will use the veto power when and
if necessary, to prevent extravagant
appropriations and will hold all state
to the least possible
minimum consistent with efficient adj

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY !:
MARKET REPORT {:
: +%4%4%%**+*4%%+e,
Kansas City Stock Yards,

August %, 1926.
All the principal markets received
fewer cattle than week ago. Prices
ruled firm to higher. Rains and more
moderate weather gave cattlemen a
chance to hold back, and the improve
ment in crop and grass conditions is
sufficient to put them in a fairly
strong position again. Because of
the continued delay in marketing the
season is short and shipments will
probably increase. Hogs were quoted
up 10 to Is meets under an active
trade. Lambs were strong to Is cents
higher, and sheep steady.
Beef Cattle
Trade in fat cattle, both grass and
corn feds was active at strong prices
compared with last weeks advance.
The strongest demand was in the
grain fed classes, but the winter and
short fed kinds are finding an enlarg-
ed outlet because of the smaller sup
ply of grain feds. Receipts were not
heavy and as an increased percent OF
the total run was stockers and feed
ers, killers found the total supply of
fat kinds barely equal to their de-
mand Some prime yearling steers
sold at 51O50. Other good to choice
yearlings, including mixed grades sold
at 1915 to $1025. Some medium
weight steers sold up to $40 and heav-
les up to S9.65. Short fed steers
brought S8.25 to 1925, wintered
steers $3.50 to $500, and straight
grass steers $3.50 to $50, mostly
S6.25 to $3.50. All classes of butcher
cattle were fully steady. Prime heif-
ers and mixed yearlings were scarce.
Veal calves were firm.
Stockers and Feeders
Rains have broadened the demand
for stockers. and feeders. Prices were
strong at last weeks advance. In
quiry is for all kinds and classes.
Heavy receipts would attract increas-
ed demand.
Sheep and Lambs
Lambs were strong to Is cents
higher and at the highest point of
the month. Fat sheep sold slowly at
unchanged prices. Choice western
lambs brought $14.35 to $14.55; good
S14 to S14.25; native lambs $13 to
S14; yearlings $3.50 to $1,000; weth-
ers $7.25 to $3.50 and ewes $4.25 to
$3.50 Feedings lambs are quoted at
S12 to $13.

Browns Back From Florida

Mr. and Mrs. r. K. Brown and
their daughter Miss Catherine
Brown returned home last Thurs
day from two months outing at
st. Petersburg, Fla, to which place
they have been going the past four
winters. They enjoyed their stay
this season fully as much as on
previous visits, il not more, due to
the fact that the weather there was
the coolest Of any season thus far,
since they have been going south.
Mr.. Brown states that the report
that the places in Florida are so
congested that it is impossible to
secure living accommodations, is
mistake. On the other hand he says,
developments along that line are
reservations in advance, but had no
trouble whatever in getting good ac-
commodations, and that at a reason
able price, everything considered.
Early this season there was sort
of combine, whereby higher rates
were 10 be in effect, but the COM
bine was broken up early in the
season, and they found accommoda-
ton rates about the same as year
ago. Because OF the extensive
building operations being carried
on, which are so big that they will
be ahead of the crowd, it is not at
all likely that next seasons rates
will be any higher than they have
been this year if as high. An indi-
cation Of the business of St. Peters
burg is shown in their banks, which
show deposits almost double that of
q year ago.
The Browns enjoyed seeing many
out door sports. including several
big league baseball games.
