bootlegger from Alison, retracted his
plea of not guilty and furnished bonds
in the sum of $500 for his appearance
from day to day. Guy Lashon of
Pittsfeld, secretly indicted for the
sale of liquor, was arraigned and
pleaded not guilty.
The first case to be called for trial
on the criminal docket was that of
State VS.. Andrew Peters for breaking,
entering and larceny of goods from
the barn of Peter Debe He was de-
| Tended by Raymond Rogers Of Water
Vile. The jury chosen to hear this
case contained three of the five women
Jurors and the court appointed Mrs
Jennie Flood Kreger of Fairfield as
foreman. Peter Debe, the first witness
for the State, testified to discovering
the theft and the final finding of the
goods hidden in a tool house at CO.
burn Park. He told of watching some
of the goods for several nights and
finally of seeing Joseph Vashon and
one off two others whom he did not
know. Richard Hughes was the next
witness called, ayd said that on the
night of the raid he had met Vashon
and Peters on the railroad bridge and
that they had asked him to help carry
the stolen goods down to the park,
which he did. He testified that he had
nothing whatsoever to do with the
theft. Vashon, who has pleaded gull
ty to his part in the matter, testified
for the State and said that Hughes
was the master mind in the robbery
and that he and Hughes entered the
barn, stole the goods and handed them
through the window to Peters. On
cross-examination Attorney Rogers
brought out that Vashon had told two
or three stories relative to the pres
ence of Peters at the time Of the
break.
On the defense Peters took the stand
and told straightforward story. He
admitted serving a sentence two years
ago for like offense but stoutly de-
MED any connection with this case on
trial. Merritt Waye, called for the
defense, told Of Hughes asking him to
remove some Of the stolen goods from
their hiding place at Coburn Park
This case was given to the jury at 415
but they came bacg after being out
10 minutes and requested that the tes-
timony of Pete Debe be repeated.
When word came from the jury room
at 5.45 that they were unable to agree
the court called them in and read
Gushing to them and asked that they
try to agree. At $50 they returned
with verdict of not guilty.

Tax Laws Are Joke
Says State Tax Body

Appointment and not election Of
county tax assessors by the state tax
commission is being recommended by
the state tax commission in it's eighth
biennial report filed Tuesday with
Governor Hunt, recommending that
the terms should be either four or
six years.
recommendation that the state tax
laws, relative to tax delinquency, be
made more stringent, and that the tax
laws be amended to conform with the
opinion of the supreme court, rela-
tive to mortgaged personal property
and that provision be made in the law
for an appeal to the supreme court
direct from the decision of the state
board of tax equalization, are also
contained in the report.
In discussing the tax delinquency,
the commission declared that the "Ar-
izona delinquent tax law is a Joke. J"
and that the law should be amended
so as not to encourage delinquency
but to prevent it. The comm tssion
points out that the delinquency in the
state is more than $4,000,000 and If
that amount were collected. it would
lower the tax burden for those who
do pay taxes.
Arizona the commission states.
"has the lowest penalty for delinouen-
cy of any state in the union. The
penalty for delinquency should be 10
per cent instead Of four per cent as
at present. 1t is well known that the
least amount of tax delinquency is in
those states where the penalty IS
highest for delinquency. The Arizona
delinquent list is appalling, especially
when the fact is considered that it IS
increasing instead Of decreasing each
year." ''N''

SHEEPMEN OF STATE
MEET PHOENIX JAN. II

Sheepmen and wool growers from
all sections of Arizona will gather in
Phoenix on January IL for the mid
winter meeting of the Arizona Wool
Growers association, according to an
announcement made by H. B. En-
bach, secretary of the organization.
The meeting will be held in the as
sociation rooms in the Arizona In
dustrial Congress building on South
Central avenue.
Questions of Importance to Ari-
zona flockmasters will be discussed
at this gathering, but no definite
speaking program will be arranged.
Shearing fees are always set at the
mid-winter meeting, and the question
OF forest reserve grazing fees will
come up for consideration. Delegates
to attend the annual convention of
the American National Live Stock as
sociation in Salt Lake City on Jan
uary "a, will be selected.
Officers of the Arizona Wool
Growers association, all of whom will
attend the mid-winter meeting in
Phoenix are as follows: A. A. Johns
of Prescott, president; G. E. Burton,
of Ashfork, first vice president; Aub-
rey Gist, of Skull Valley, third vice
president, These men will in all
probability be named as delegates to
the Salt Lake City convention.
"Sheepmen of Arizona are in
most optimistic frame of mind as the
result of recent rains," said Secretary
Embach thtis week. Ranges are
now in good condition, and with con-
tinued fair weather during the next
10 days there will be plenty of win
ter feed. One flock-master told me
this morning that his ranges were in
better shape at present time than
they have been since 1914, and that
feed prospects are bright.
"As Arizona is principally range
and feeder stock country there is
very little activity in sheep and wool
circles at present. Shearing will start
about the 18th of January, however 4
and continue throughout February
Wool prices are favorable at present
and indications point to continual
ton of good prices. Some fat lambs
are now moving from the Salt River
valley, but the movement is light"
