The senator described the executive

violations of our constitutional rights
and declared that IL either is put into

formed into a slave market of one hun

to the tyranny Of an odious and hate

disrupted our age-old scheme of gen.

a nation Of hypocrites and active and
potential criminals.
I'm an attempted justification of the
presidents prohibition order" he said,
General Lincoln c. Andrews, car of
I Volsteadism, is reported to have pub
licly stated that 1t is too late to mi
tiate an outcry about states rights,
that the 18th amendment killed that
ancient and honorable slogan.
"Since when has the president or
the Congress of the United States been
delegated by the American people to
abrogate the bill of rights to requite
a contemplate minority at the expense
of suffering majority? Not since 1

Without the added menace of the
Coolidge order and the Gon monstros-
ity," he continued, there are strong
and valid reasons against excluding
the fruits of unconstitutional searches
and seizures, and yet we have the
sanctity of homes violated and the
persons of our citizens unlawfully
searched in order that the Anti-Saloon
League may fatten and flourish on
their ill-gotten power
II must lean on the state and COM
munities to carry their burdens in the
enforcement of the prohibition law,
says the naive Andrews. In other
words, the Stars and Stripes must be
taken from the fagnoles of the White
House and treasury, and hoisted over
city and county jails in order that
America may be led back into the
paths of moral salvation. Constables
are to be hired at the remunerative
salary of two cents per week to neg
lect their state duties in order that a
dry unfortunate toting a hip pocket
flask may reap his just rewards.
It cannot bring myself to believe
that President Coolidge enjoyed the
slightest comprehension of what his
sneak and snoop order meant when he
placed upon 1t his official stamp of APP
proval.

GOOD SHOW AT LIBERTY

Merton of the Movies," novel by Harry Leon Wilson, and later high ly successful stage play, has at last reached the screen via Paramount. It's local premiere took place last night at the Liberty Theatre, where it will be shown for the last time tonight.
 The plot is too well-known to need retelling in detail It concerns an awk- ward, country youth who is consumed with a desire to become a famous mo- ton picture star. What happens to him when he goes to Hollywood, his trials, his earnest, pathetic strivings, his cruel disillusionments and his final unsuspecting triumph constitute one of the really great epics of the screen.
 Glen Hunter, who created the title role on the stage is also the star of the picture! His gawkiness, his crude naturalness and his terrific sincerity are typical of the average small-town, movie-struck boy. Viola Dana has the featured feminine role, and her sym pathetic interpretation of "Flips", the girl who makes Merton a star against his will, proves her the ideal choice for that part.

VALLEY TOMATO
CROP SAID TO
BE TOTAL LOSS

PRESCOTT - The tomato crop
of the Verde valley, one of the i'm
portant crops of that district for
the last summer months, is almost
total loss this year, as the result
of the activities of tomato worms
and other bugs, it was reported by
a rancher in that district
A vast acreage in the valley is
planted to tomatoes annually, the
crop ripening about the time the
last of the Phoenix tomatoes are on
the market and being shipped to all
parts of the state, supplying the
Santa Fe system throughout Ari-
zOna. AS the result of the crop
failure, California tomatoes already
are on the local market, and the
housewife is required to pay a much
higher price for the vegetable than
usual.
The tomato crop is not the only
one in the valley to suffer from the
depredations of the insects, as the
cantaloupe crop is in almost the
same condition, it is reported by
ranchers, while the watermelon
crop from over the hill is expected
to be very light this season.

PHOENIX - The total assessed
valuation of property in the state
for 1926 taxation purposes is $685.
637,061, according to figures issued
by the Arizona Tax Commission, or
net increase over the assessed
valuation in 1925 of $8,741,206.
The figures on the total valuation
made public by the commission
were compiled from the abstracts
of the tax rolls of each county IN
the state submitted to the commits
sion, and are subject to change by
the commission when it sits dur
ing the first week in August as the
state board of tax equalization.
1t is generally conceded by those
in touch with the work that the to-
tai assessed valuation, as shown by
the abstracts of the tax rolls OF the
counties, will not be lowered any,
but indications are that slight
raise will be made, making the To-
tai valuation of property in the
states in excess of $3.50, 900. The
1925 final valuation of all property
in the state, as fixed by the state
board of equalization, was S64O,-
895,855.
Although the state budget on
which the tax levy for state pur-
poses is to be made has not been
completed as yet by the state audi
tor, it is generally understood that
the total amount to be raised by d1-
rect taxation this year will be
slightly more than $4,000,OOO, or
about $850,000 less than last year.

1t is estimated that with an in

and the decrease in the amount to
be raised by direct taxation, that
the state tax rate this year will be
at least 10 cents per each $100 Of
assessed valuation less than the
rate of IS cents per each 500 of
assessed valuation levied last year
The greatest increase in valua-
tions in the state are shown in Pi-
nal county, where the increase in
the 1926 valuations over 1925
amounted to $6,525,813. The great
est decrease in valuations occurred
in Gila county, where the decrease
in the 1926 valuations from the
1925 valuations amounted to $3,-

es obtained in seven Of the counties
