TAX RULING IS
DECLARED VITAL
TO MANY PEOPLE

The decision Of the supreme court
by which owners of 100000 acres Of
grazing and dry farming lands in
Cochise county were saved several
thousand dollars is one Oh lie most
important rulings made by the high
court in some time, it was declared
yesterday BY Attorneys Sutter and
Roche, who argued the case for the
plaintiffs, Not only does it save
owners of the land in question ap-
proximately $4,000 in taxes. but it
establishes an important ruling re-
garding the power Of courts over
assessments made by the state tax
commission.
The decision of tile supreme court
did not take into consideration some
of the argument OF the plaintiffs at
torney, but the mere fact that it up
held the right of supreme court to
issue an injunction against the tax
commission removes the established
belief that the decisions of that body
are final and not subject to review
by a lower court. The ruling of the
higher court was based on another
argument of the plaintiffs attorney
that the state tax commission to the
board of supervisors of Cochise county
directing said board to increase the
tax ION 100000 acres of grazing and
dry farming land in Cochise county
was to indefinite to be carried out;
that it, would have been illegal for
the county supervisors to select at
random 100000 acres and that the
torder was issued after the second
Monday in August, or too late to
be legally executed even if it were
definite. In the reviewing the case,
/ however, the high court held that
when there was evidence that in
justice would be done to a number
of tax payers who would later nave
recourse to the courts it was more
expedient and economic prosecution
Of justice to handle the problem
| through an injunction.
| All through the supreme courts
review of the case the argument
of Sutter and Roche was closely
! followed The plaintiffs attorney was
(, asked for statement which would
more fully explain the important case.
Following is his statement in sub

and the board of supervisors assessed
all grazing land and some of the
dry farming land in Cochise county
at a valuation of SIS per acre In
1926 the county assessor and the
board of supervisors agreed that such
valuation was TOO high and fixed the
Valuation of.a grazing a1lG some of
the dry farming land for the purpose
of assessment the sum of So per
acre, and, such valuation was placed
upon the tax rolls of Cochise county
for the year 1926.
"The state tax commission sitting
as a board of equalization issued an
order to the board of supervisors to
raise the valuation on 100000 acres
of grazing land and dry farming
lands in Cochise county from So to

they had been assessed in previous

BURLINGTON, VT, Nov II P1-
dry farming land owned by several
hundred small ranchers and num-
ber of owners of large tracts Of
grazing lands. The amount or taxes
saved the owners of grazing land by
the decision of tie supreme court
for the year 1925 was the sum of
$18,5O0, and for the year 1927 about
$4,000.
"This is the first decision in which
the supreme court has held that
the orders of the tax commission
are not final, ut thai they may
be set aside when the court is con-
vinced that such orders were based
upon a wrong rule of appraisement,
in violation of some constitutional
or statutory requirement, or when
orders affect unlawfully large num-
ber Of tax payers of the same class.
In the complaint it was alleged
that several million acres of grazing
lands in the northern counties of
the state were assessed as low as
$1.16 per acre, which fact the owners
of grazing land in Cochise county
claimed was a discrimination for the
reason that it made them bear a
greater burden of taxation than was
imposed upon the owners of grazing
land in northern counties OF the

DOUGLAS TO Be
CENTER OF DUDE
RANCH SYSTEM

Kiwanians assembled yesterday at
the Grand tea rooms for the weekly
| luncheon listened to booster talks and
some very pretty songs William
Davis, of the Y Lightning dude ranch,
spoke on the dude ranch industry and
advocated that the Kiwanians join
with others in a campaign to secure
recognition for Douglas as the center
of the dude ranches of the southwest.
Davis told how the Y Lightning, a
large and prosperous cattle ranch was
first turned into dude ranch with
Two cabins which were rented to tour
lists for a season, The ranch now has
accommodations for 20 persons, all of
whom come from distance to spend
the winter season, and large amount
of money in this district.
These dudes, fasteners seeking the
Joys of the outdoor life and the wild
west, Davis said, are willing to pay well
for good accommodations with the
spice of adventure thrown in The
cabins at the Y Lightning are luXuri
Gus little bungalows with hot and cold
running water, and everything fixed
up in style. The occupants get out
and help the COW punchers with their
tasks, ride range, assist at roundupS
and generally live the life of a cattle
ranch.
wv. Tardy, who acted as chairman
at the luncheon, delivered an address
OF. great interest when he told of the
sort of building operations T. /. Nc
Neese of New York carries. McNeese
was visitor in Douglas on Wednes-
day and conferred with Tardy.
. Tardy told the Kiwanians that Nc
Neese built 12,5oo,OO0 worth of homes
during the past year and sold them
to people of small means. These
houses were built in the suburbs OF
New York and were sold with down
payment of as little as $3.50, with an
installment of $50 and with interest
at five per cent.
The average home built and sold on
this basis was priced at $4,000. Tardy
pointed out that such scheme, the
cutting of the down payment and the
low rate of interest are the keys to
the home building and selling game.
He said that when people could buy a
home as easily as they can an auto
mobile they will buy homes and not
until then He said that the builder
and the real estate man must contrive
to compete with the automobile deal
er if homes are to be sold and COM
rnunities built.
Mrs, j. w. Tardy favored the XII
Wanians with two songs which were
very we'll received.

REMUS TO PLEAD
 FOR RESOLUTION
Bootleg King to Ask That He
 Be EXOnerated

Cincinnati. Dec. 19 Pl--George
 Remus was ready today to plead not
 only for his life but for complete absolution from any blame for slay- ing his estranged second wife, Imo. gene-a woman, he said. who should have been removed from society be- cause oe violations of it's code.
 Whether Remus could beg the jury of two women and ten men for his freedom or merely minimum punishment for his act depended upon q decision by Judge Chester R. Shook.
 The judge over the weekend conned' the demand of Prosecut or Charles F. Taft, that he eliminate from his charge to the jury any pos sibility of an outright acuuittal. Taft maintained that since Remus confessed he slew Mrs, Remus in Eden park. October 6. he admit tedly was guilty of an unlawful kill ing, The Remus plot itself did not set up justifiable homicide, said Taft.
 Elston, who pleaded with the jury for one hour and 15 minutes last Saturday, said he would need from an hour to an hour and a half today, with Remus himself closing for the defense with the remainder Of tho four hours allotted for addressing the jury.
 With Carl F. Easier, assistant making the interme ediary plea for the state, Walter K. Sib- bald, assistant prosector was named to close for the state.
 There was a hint that, with only a few minutes of Sibbald's address left. Judge Shook might adjourn court until Tuesday morning. when he would charge the jury and de- liver Rcmus into it's hands.
 On the other hand much hope was expressed that the court might see fit to permit the attorneys 10 com plete their speeches and run into a night session for charging the jurors md giving the case to them.
 Ohio law requires that the charge be given and the case surrendered Q the jury immediately upon the dosing of the final arguments.
