Seven Years Of the Communist Party.

Spouse to knowledge OF now pro-
Ietarian revolution achieves victory gain
ed from the great achievement Of the
Russian workers and peasants IN mo-
Vember, 1917.
The workers Of this country who were
pledged to the class struggle against cap
ltalism had before them the history OF
the actual struggle Of the workers for
power in Russia. They had in addition
the lessons of the short-lived victory OF
the workers of Hungary, Of Muenieh and
the struggles OF the German workers
generally.
These experiences proved the futiii.y Of
reformist socialism. They showed that
capitalism can be overthrown only IT the
workers seize the state power and estab-
Iish their proletarian dictatorship. They
showed that in the struggle for state
power the form Of the workers. govern
ment arises naturally upon the basis OF
the workers organizations and the So
viets-Workers' councils become the
basis Of the proietarian state power.
They formed a party which accepted as
It's fundamental principles the lesson OF
these experienees-the Communist Party.

mist Party has remained true to these

In the seven years Of experience in the
class struggle the party has learned hon

which the great mass Of the workers are
as yet still not class conscious. It ha:
learned how to gather up the threads o.

against capitalism of which it is the

Seven years ago we raised the banner
OF the social revolution and Of the Com.

Seven years ago we were a group Of
enthusiasts ready to storm heaven and
hell for the liberation of the working
class but without sufficient experience
and organic contact with the struggling
masses. Today we are lust as enthusi-
astic and ready to fight but incomparaby
richer in political experience and an or

thru our energetic fights for the protec-

The Outstanding Champion on Glass
Struggle.


Struggle.
THE formation Of the Workers (com-
munist) Party was one OF the
greatest events in the history Of
the American proletariat. It definitely
marked the capitalization OF the left
wing around the theology and organiza-
tion which will lead the workers to the
revolution. Today the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party stands out clearly as the real
vanguard organization of the working
class. II not only holds before the masses
the stimulating idea of proletarian so
ciety and educates them to organize and
fight for this ultimate goal, but it is also
Enthusiastically in the lead in the every
day struggle of the workers. The social
lst party is corrupt. paraIyzed. and disin-
tegrated. The Workers (communist)
Party is the outstanding champion of the
organization Of the unorganized, the for
nation Of a Labor Party, the amalgama-
ton of the trade unions, and of every
other practical measure for building the
labor movement, politically and econom-
icaily, into a real fighting organization.

Young Communists
Greet Party Anniversary

WiHE organized revolutionary youth
4 is proud of its leader, the Work
ers (Communist) Party. OF all the
political organizations claiming COM
position Of workers in this country
the Communists alone, have been suf-
ficiently interested in the struggle OF
the young workers to pay special at
tention to their organization and in
terests.
When during the world war the So
cial patriots of Europe and America
who had won the leadership of the
workers turned their backs on the
anti-war agitation among the masses,
the young workers of five countries
even before the adult workers-con-
vened in Berne, Switzerland, and be-
gan an organized struggle against
capitalism. The Russian revolution
and war support brought the split
within the American Socialist Party
and separated the left wing elements
from those who were following the
supporters Of the war, Hillquit, Ber-
ger, and company. At that time the
American youth by an overwhelming
majority were not found wanting in
revolutionary spirit.
Today we are working hard: work
ing hard to win the working youth to
Communism. In the hight of your
leadership we viii succeed.
Greetings to you on your Seventh
Anniversary Long may you Iivel

Distribution of State
Taxes

Chart No ; and Table No. 3 show
taxes levied for State purposes. This
chart shows that 54.61, per cent. of
the amount raised for State taxes
goes for educational purposes. 1t
further Illustrates the fact that if
tho entire amount OF money eS-
pended for administrative and de-
partmental expenses were completely
eliminated and that il there were not
single State officer or department
left on salary basis, the saving
would amount to only $666.315.
When 1t is remembered that there
is Included in this $666.S15 charged
as administrative and departmental
expense. the sum of 100000 FOR the
Commission Of Agriculture and Hor-
ticulture to fight crop pests; $4,000
for the destruction OF injurious ro-
dentss $4,000 for the eradication Of
tuberculosis in cattle; $4,000 for the
state veterinarian; and $4,000 to
protect and eradicate disease in the
livestock industry. it Will be seen
that approximately 40 per cent Of
ment directly concerns the business
Of every farmer, dairyman ard live
stock man in the State.
Any discussion from any source,
indicating that the taxes can be ma
terially reduced by radical savings in
administrative and departmental ex-
penses, Illustrates very conclusively
that those who make such assertions
have little knowledge Of the actual
situation concerning State taxes.

Automobile Expenses

Statements have appeared from
time to . time concerning an alleged
increase in the number of state
cars" Those who make these state
ments either have no knowledge Of
the facts, Or are deliberately misrep-
resenting.
, The State of Arizona has reduced
the number of cars in use to a min
imum below which it would be un-
economical to operate.
The State Of Arizona, during the
year r1925, operated A passenger
carrying automobiles. This number
includes the cars used by the high
way department, the university, the
two teachers colleges and the four
State institutions, as well as all
other departments.
The State Highway department,
with two thousand miles Of highway

struction program, uses consider

crease in the number of inmates of
the asylum, Of the prison and Of the
pioneers home. These institutions
are now filled to capacity.
Arizona is growing State. It's
needs are increasing. 1t is not the
State. it was between the years 1912
and 1915 which is designated as the
pre-war period.
The population Of Arizona from
1910 to 1920 showed the largest per-
capita increase Of any state in the
United States.
When the taxes since the war are
compared; $3,731,767. in 1917, $5,131,-
34S in 1919, S6,062,917 in 1921 and
$4,99S,9S7 in 1925, the evidence
should be pretty conclusive that re-
lief, if it is to. come, must be ex-
pected from other sources than saw
ings in administrative expense.

Cost of State

Table. No. 5 shows the number Of
inmates in each of the institutions
Of the State coming from each of
the counties, the percapita cost Of
the maintenance at each of the State
institutions, and the benefit each
county receives from money ex-
pended for the maintenance Of the
State institutions.
Table No. 6 shows the number Of
students attending the University
Of Arizona, the Tempe and Flag
staff teachers colleges, the percapita
cost Of each student and the bene-
fit derived by each county from

Mine Taxes

1t is. important in connection with
the subject Of taxes, to note that
since 1912, there were so mines
listed as producing mines on the tax
rolls Of the State.
In 1918; there were AZ mines listed
as producing mines. a
In 1925 the number dropped to 20.
OF these 20 producing mines listed
in 1925, seven have not paid divi-
dend in the past five years. One Of
the largest mines only paid two divi-
dends, since 1921. and another only
paid three dividends of so cents each
since 1920.
The mines and railroads combined
pay 58 per cent of the States taxes.
The border vidette., 1926-05-29
School Taxes

One Of the most interesting factors
in connection with the Arizona tax
situation is the fact that the State
raises by State tax $25 for every
child attending school, based upon
the average daily attendance. The
number of children increases every
year. In
192O-21 the No. of children was $4,000
1922 the No. Of children was 5O,141
1929 the No. of children was 53,017
1924 the No. of children was 54,641
1924-25 the No. of children was 5S,419
1t will, therefore, be noted that the
increase in State taxes from this
source amounts to $21O,475 more, for
the, current year, than for 1920-21
when taxes reached their high peak
in Arizona. ''s ,.....%
1t might also be interesting to note
that the number OF students attend
ing the State university has nearly
doubled within the past five years.
The same is true Of the Tempe
Teachers college. .~.:.". ~
There has been considerable iu-

these institutions. In order to make
fair comparison, only the students
who graduated from the schools of
the county are listed at the. univer-
sity The adult students are not
included: +. The percapita cost is
based upon the average enrolment
so that each county may be charged
with the additional benefits for it's
adult students. The registration OF
adult and high school graduates in
Pima county brings the enrolment
in that, county up to 1856.
The border vidette., 1926-05-29
A Comparison Of
State Taxes

Taxes in the State Of Arizona nat
urally divide themselves 'ntD two
clasifications: Taxes prior to the
war and taxes after the war; This
arbitrary division is made because
it was in 1917 that the Federal gov
ernment began to contribute to the
federal aid system for the building
of roads. The. per cent system
was adopted in 1921. Since that
time, some 1000 miles of State nigh
ways have been constructed up to
Federal aid standards, and these
roads must be maintained. The State
has also constructed nearly 100 ex-
pensive bridges.
This represents millions OF dollars
Of additional expense which we did
not have in the early years Of state
hood. The question occurs, would
The border vidette., 1926-05-29
the State do without it's highway

the State do without it's highway
system?.
In addition to this, the University
OF Arizona has been enlarged and
improved until it is now recog lied
as class A institution by the -Asso-
: citation Of American Universities.
The Tempe and Flagstaff educational
institutions have been improved SO
that they now rank as colleges.
In 1920 the State established the
practice Of paying S25 per capita,
based upon average attendance, to-
ward the cost of education in COM
mon and high schools.
It is interesting to note thar the
taxes for 1925-26 for State purposes
are less than they We're in 1913
over a million dollars less than they
were in 1921. and that they will be
less in 1926-27 than they were in
1885.
The border vidette., 1926-05-29

percapita for each Of the 5s,419
children attending school, and rs
per cent Of the money raised for
highway purpeses. which amounts 10
$1,sa3,0%S.
Tho actual net amount raised FOR
State purposes is $3,166,040, or IL
per cent Of the total amount Of taxes
raised.
1t will also be interesting to note
that of the $3,165,040 raised for State
purposes In the year 1925.30, and not
counting the money spent Tor perma-
nent improvements In connection
with roads and bridges. $674,200 was
spent for the purchase Of land. ereo-
ton OF buildings and other capital
investments, -
A glance at Chart No. will illus
trate graphically the fact that there
Ia not a single county that does not
raise more money In direct taxes for
county, city, town and district pur-
posea than Is raised for State pur-
poaea. This Is Significant. It means
that the bulk of the cost Of govern
ment lies In the local expenses Of
each county, city, town and district
rather than In the State,
Particular attention Is directed TO
the fact that Of the s4.750.352 taxes
raised In Maricopa county, only 71a
per cent or $351,534 Is spent for
actual State purposes.
