r Two new churches have been or
gained during the year. a new
Presbyterian mission at Tenth and
Belleview SITS, and a union organiza-
lion at Sunshine Gardens.
The spirit Of cooperation between
the churches has increased during
the year. In the past year the
congregations Of the city have been
divided into eight districts. Each
section of the city that is normally
a unit has been constituted a dis
trict. Some districts. because Of size,
for working purposes have been
made into sub-districts. Each of the
units is differed by the ministers in
the locality, and is on call for every
consideration of community interest
that may arise. Thus they have
under cooperative supervision every
moral and religious matter of
value. The first use of the district

ministerial retreat, held at the Boy

does not specify the particular parcels
of land on which the valuation is to be
raised and that no notice of the inten-
tion of the commission to consider a
change in valuation had been given as
required by law.
The plaintiff also complains to the
court in his application that the state
board of equalization is not adopting
a uniform standard of valuations, Cit
ing that fact that Yavapai and other
northern counties enjoy valuation as
low as rs cents per acre for land of
similar character, and that the land
which the commission seeks to raise in
valuation is not worth SO per acre.
"The board is in possession of an or
der from the tax commission lowering
the valuation on more than $4,000 acres
of grazing land of the Boquillas Land
and Cattle company from So to So per
acre." said Chairman Adams yesterday.
This land is considered choice grazing
land by practically every cattleman in
the county," Adams continued, land
while we are not seeking to question
the valuation of this land, still we
think that since the commission forced
the supervisors to give the Boquillas
company the reduction in valuation,
that every other cattleman in the coun-
ty is entitled to like valuation on his
grazing land OF similar character" >"
Adams told of having several sections
adjoining the Boquillas land, on which
he was assessed at SO per acre, while
the cattle company paid on SO per acre
inc
claimed that the commission had no
right to set up different standards of
valuat on, particularly within the
county.
Supervisor Johnson was very active
in the fight for maintaining the lower
valuation, and expressed his indigna-
tion at the action of the commission
in no uncertain terms. He told of the
75-cent valuation in Yavapai, Apache
and other northern counties, stating
that he had seen much of the land car
ried at that valuation and that the
grazing land in Cochise was no better
than the land in the northern counties.
"Cochise county valuations have never
been lowered since the slump, save in
one small instance" said johnson yes
terday, "and everyone knows that prop
erty values in the county are in some
instances rs per cent lower than during
the boom years. other counties have
cut their valuations and nothing has
been said, but Cochise has to fight her
way every time" Johnson declared
himself as favoring a fight to the
bitter end, saying that NOW is the time
to find out whether the duties i'm
posed on the assessor and supervisors
by the statutes are legal or whether
the assessor and board are merely ex-
pected to prepare a lit of property in
the county and forward to the tax
commission for them to fix the valua-
ton, rates, ETC."
Hearings on the permanent injunc-
tion petition will be held Thursday,
September 8.

! ty, Tombstone, Arizona.
Order No. 163.
| Gentlemen: With reference to your
letter of August 18, 1926, directed to
the state tax commission of Arizona

mission that you have refused to COM
| ply with the order of the state board
of equalization of August 8, 1925, and
have refused to increase the valuation
of grazing land within the county of
Cochise as provided in said order, we
advise you that if your board of super
visors does not reconvene as a board
of equalization on or before August 81,

state board of equalization, action will
be instituted against you to compel
compliance with the order.
We direct your attention to Sub
division IA, of Paragraph 1922 and to
Para B Braph 1881 of the Revised Stat
utes of Arizona, 1913, and further call
your attention to the case of State VS..
Supervisors, ID Arizona, 222.
We are further advised by the attor-
ney for the tax commission that the
members of the board of supervisors
will be liable on their Individual bonds
should any loss accrue to the state of
Arizona by reason of your failure to
comply with the order of the state
board of equalization.

tion of the commission that the as
SCISSOR of Cochise county now contends
that he did not reduce as much as S0O,-
600 acres of grazing and dry. farming
land upon which an increase of 81 per
acre has been ordered, you are advised
that the order made upon August 8,
1926, was intended to apply only to
such dry farming and grazing land as
was reduced 81 per acre and is modi-

some weeks ago between County AS

Thursday, September 8.
According to Chairman Adams and
Supervisor Johnson, the board had the
tacit approval of the tax commission
to the reduction on grazing lands, the
matter having been threshed out at the
meeting Of assessors and supervisors
held in Nogales in July. A week later
Chairman Adams and Assessor Hen

the order of the state tax commission,
caused the following entry to be made
on the minutes:
''Ih the matter of increasing 500, 900
acres of grazinz land from 50 to SO per

not likely to back the campaign of a

Los Angeles today that they favor
the reelection of Governor Hunt.
They see, in this return to office
chance to keep the river discussion
in turmoil. They see a chance
for delay in action on the river
which will further the. plans of their
friends and leave Arizona out of the

that they had left during the after
noon for a visit at the home of

appeared to have been smouldering
for some time. No estimate of the
damage was announced, although the
fire had, gained much headway and
great amount of water was neces-

GET INSURANCE

BERLIN, Sept. Livery time a
traveller goes up into the air on one of
Germany's rs. airplane routes, he is
automatically insured for $4,000 at the
expense of 'Lufthansa's," the concern
which operates these routes.
Flying in Germany is regarded quite
as safe as travelling by train or motor
car. The insurance companies with
which the Lufthansa has contracted
for the insurance of it's passengers,
charge merely the usual accident rate,
without the super-charge customary in
the case of extra hazardous occupa-
tions."
According to official statistics, the
percentage of safety in airplane flights
during 1925 was 99.997 per cent. Thus
far during 1926 not a single passenger
has been injured.
