lTncson Citizenl


Not long ago a famous foreign sim
ger is said to have composed his own
epitaph, which was to read as fol-
lows:
"Here is the grave Of Blank. He
lived, he loved and he did scandalous
things. He lied and committed SINS
unspeakable. He was like the devil
who danced in church before mass. AT
last he has found repose. Now, I'M
mobile, he lies under this stone, his
tomb watered only by the tears OF his
wife and children. Eternal peace to
your remains-actor, singer, artist
and man sold himself to all. Peace" "
The man is far too wordy, too
rhetorical, too vain of himself. The
whole tale of most humans could be
told in two sentences:
.'Here lies Blank. He lived, ne
sinned, he loved, he died."

proportion with the shrinkage
throughout the entire valuation list.
Howe questioned the truthfulness of
Secretary of State Kerby who takes
sole credit for raising the taxable val
ues of Greenlee county while assessor
of that county. "The records show,
said Howe, "that the total valuation
of Greenlee county in 1911, which was
the last year in which the entire
county valuations were in Kirby's jur-
isdictlon prior to the creation of the
tax commission, was only 1927, 1886.
1t is a well known fact that any in
crease above that amount was due to
the efforts Of the tax commission and
not to the county assessor" Howe
expressed anlazement that the head of
another department of state govern
ment would inpugn the motives of
three men on the tax commission
whose combined experience as tax
| ing officials is more than so years Z
Concluding, Howe said: "If the
secretary and exofficio lieutenant gov
ernor will devote his energies to the
| duties Of his own office, and restrain
4 himself in attempting to meddle with
other officials in the future it will
mot cost the state Of Arizona 95 cents
/ to collect ST, as it did in the case OF
the motor vehicle drivers permit and
title law"
Dealing with the states valuations,
the commissions chairman recounted
the deflation Of values in the states
/ resources since the tax conference met
in Flagstaff in 1915, and the difficult
1 ties which had been encountered by
taxing officials during this deflation
period. The valuation of producing
mines in the state had fallen from
| $471 100000 to $275,000,OO0, account
The Coconino sun., 1927-07-29

ed for partly by a decrease in the
value of the properties as we'll as
more especially by decrease IN the
total number of producing mines. In
this connection Howe said that rs
mining properties formerly assessed
and taxed as producers have now
PASSED out of existence. Pima county
has lost IL producing mines, Cochlse
Ia. Mohave 10, Gila and Yavapai .
each. Santa Cruz 5, Greenlee 4, Yuma
8. while Maricopa and Pinal have each
lost 2 producers.
While lands, city and town property
and all classes of live stock did not
reach the peak until 1920, the loss IN
valuation on this is very great, Howe
stating that the average value OF all
irrigated farm lands in the state In
1920 was $147.77 per acre as com
pared with 500 for the present year.
Range cattle were assessed at peak
value of S3O.61 a head and are now
reduced to SIS head. Sheep were
formerly valued at So head but are
now only valued at SIS. Only the val
uations of railroads and public service
corporations have been maintained,
Howe said.
The greatest problem facing the
assessors of the various counties is
the supplying of each automobile
owner with licenses and plates, and
| assisting in obtaining titles for motor
cars, Howe said without any adj
ditional appropriation for the extra
work. while the secretary of state, who
merely receives the fruits of the as
SCISSORS labors, has an added compen-
sation of $4,000 a year." As result
Of this arrangement Howe said that
many assessors were finding it ex-
ceedingly difficult to make proper

LIGHTNING STRUCK
TWO HOMES HERE

Lightning Saturday afternoon
struck twice in Flagstaff. 1t struck
the brick chimney Of the Joe SamslSy
home, tore it off and made a big hole
in the roof. Mrs. Samsky had just
finished cleaning house, SO the SCOT
from the chimney which filled every
part of the house was doubly obnox-
ious.
The toll house at the entrance to the
San Francisco mountain boulevard
was also struck. The bolt apparently
entered through plumbing for it tore

grounded.

memorial No 1, the legislature re-
quests the governor to extend the
scope Of special session legislation to
include repair Of damaged bridges,
maintenance of state highways and
highway program which will meet
federal aid projects.
The memorial was vigorously op-
posed in both the house and senate
by administration members, who de-
clared that the special session was
limited to "relief Of highway depart
ment creditors" and that when such
was enacted "the governor would i'm
mediately issue a fourth special ses-
sion call for highway legislation"
fractional lines in the vote upon the
memorial stood practically as they
were at the close of the regular ses-
sion.
Tuesday S Session
Both houses of the legislature
Tuesday afternoon recessed until next
Monday morning at 1000 o'clock, to
reconvene at the usual place in Phoe-
nix. Legislators said they would en-
deavor to pass the highway bill Mon
day and adjourn sine die, should the
governor veto it. If he should sign
the measure, the senate would remain
in session until the governor names
the commissioners, who would be sub
iect to senatorial confirmation.
Favour, Runke and Hill will have
charge Of redrafting the highway bill
for the senate, and Representative
Murphy, Brooke and Pickett for the
house. Practically all of the major
ity members of both houses left Tues
day afternoon for Prescott, where
they will remain until Sunday, pre-
pairing the road measure for introdue-
tion and passage.
Senator Walter Runke Of Coconino
returned yesterday from the seat of
war. sFWhile the majority members
Of the legislature believe payment
Should be made the creditors of the
highway department they are con-
vinced that it would only open way
for more bills and more special ses-
sions," declared the senator The
mere payment of these bills without
some sort of regulation to prevent
more bills Of a similar nature would
be utterly unfair to the people. Then
too the list of bills given in the gov
ernor's message do not check with the
former list either in names or
amounts, which impressed the legis-
lators that favorites were picked for
payment while there was another big
list Of claims to come up for action at
another special session. If this list
of bills is paid out of hand by a leg
islative act, who knows whether they
are correct and for value received by
the state? The only solution of the
problem for the protection of the pub
lie is to provide a law that will check
and regulate such expenditures and
prevent a recurrence Of another del
uge of debts.
81 would not be surprised next Mon
day if the legislature would adjourn
to meet at Flagstaff to finish this
special session. There is no question
but the majority members Of the leg
islature will stand pat and continue
to insist that they are right in their
desire to protect the best interests Of
the people of the state" declared
Senator Runke.

assessment Of the property in their
counties within the time prescribed
by law for assessments and compila-
tion of tax rolls. Howe recommended
that the conference urge upon the leg
islature the need of remedial legisla-
ton.
This recommendation was embodied
in resolution to the Legislature ask
ing that the secretary of state be re-
uuired to reimburse the assessors so
cents for each license plates issued
The resolution was signed by r. H.
Marine, assessor of this county, chair
man; |. P. Mcbride of Gila county
and Harry A. Drachman of Pima
county.
Tuesday afternoon Assessors Moore
of Pina1 and Ming of Yuma protested
against present methods of assessment
on irrigated lands. The protest came
when Assessor Oglesby of Maricopa
county told the conference that his of
flee assessed irrigated land at ap-
.proximateIy bU per cent of its actual
| value, and both Moore and Ming asked
that the assessments on their county $
| lands be reduced to equalize with the
| MarlcOpa aSSeSSAleiIt. II was DIousHe
out during the discussion which fol-
lowed that every other assessor in the
state was endeavoring to use a 100
per cent valuation, or as nearly that
percentage as possible, in valuing
properties.
Bank assessments also brought up
much discussion, large decreases on
this class being shown in Pima, Yava-
pai and Maricopa. Assessor Drach-
man of Pima could not explain his
county's drop of $4,000, Assessor
Gentry said his county's loss of
S166,0O0 was accounted for by bank

A roll of bills in a gutter attracted
the attention of F. D. Rankin, in Bos-
ton. who picked up the money, found
it to be exactly $1,000. Then man
dashed up, told of losing that amount
and received the roll from Rankin. AS
a reward, the stranger produced a
dry scent cigar, offered it reluctantly
and departed without further thanks.
