REMARKS OF THE GANG

Orme said. eve have been lied
to again, and now we are called
liars. This man is the biggest liar
in Arizona and you know it as well
as I do, Mr.. Speaker" Orme de-
clared. "And when we ask him ques-
tions in the committee hearings he
refuses to answer but sends state
ment in here calling US liars and
unprecedented members, which is
a damnabIe slur on every member
here who will not truckle to the ad-
ministration.
Representative Wisener wanted to
know from Chairman Coxon, Of the
committee investigating the secre-
tary of state, whether or not the
committee would recover the money
Secretary of State Kerby had coll
lected but not turned in to the treas
ury in accordance with the provis-
ions of the state constitution and
state laws, and whether or not the
attorney general, sworn to uphold the
state laws and protect the states i'm
terests, would apply the law here
as elsewhere. Representative Coxson
said all he could say was that his
committee was making as thorough
an investigation as it could; that the
investigation was continuing and
would continue until all facts OBJ
tainable were brought to light.

THE COST OF COLLECTING
TAXES
Tucson Star)

The following report from the tax
attorneys office to the board of
supervisors shows the status of de-
linquent taxes since the first of the
year:
Herewith is report of the collect
ion of delinquent taxes for the month
of February, 1927.
The total amount of delinquent
taxes collected since January /, 1927
to March /, 1927, is $49, 1898.
The amount collected in February
is $20,572.85.
The number of tax bills during the
month is 80.
Notice Of suit has been sent on all
tax bills presented, and there is now
pending 26 suits which will come to
judgement in the month Of March.
There has been dismissed approx
mately 10 suits which have been filed,
due to payment before judgement.
Sixteen suits on tax bills involving
the amount of $20,000.00 are now
prepared for filing and will be filed
on or before the 18th of March.
The surprising feature of the whole
report is that the county has to go
to the cost of hiring an attorney to
make collections. The fact that ten
suits were dismissed due to payment
before judgement, shows that there
are a large number who can pay,
but won't pay until forced to by liti-
cation.

LIVE AND LEARN

Nobody knows exactly how the McNary- -Haugen
farm relief bill will work out in real life.
1t is an opening wedge for state ownership, state
control of all business of every sort. AS financ-
ing plan, it will operate as long as the revolving
fund lasts; if all that is spent in one year, or on
one single kind of crop, there would be no more
money, and farmers not fortunate enough to get
in before the cake is gone will go hungry,
Too often easy borrowing is the direct road to
worse troubles. AS substitute for too many
acres too poorly tended, borrowed farm money is a
delusion If it is a palliative or an anaesthetic to
disguise the pain of bad farming, the remedy will
be found worse than the disease
The Coconino sun., 1927-03-18
INVESTING IN STREETS
Tucson Citizen)

Traffic growth has brought the
average American city face to face
with the question whether enlorging
street capacity is sound investment.
The old COW path which originally
determined the character Of some of
our municipal thoroughfares gave
way to modern streets but the modern
streets are now falling into the same
obsolete class as the COW paths.
Looking into the problem an in
vestigator has found that in many
instances street widening has proven
a good investment. The increase in
the value of the abutting prop
erty has more than offset the cost of
the improvement. But this improve
ment has been also found to BIZ rela-
tive. If widening the streets is
followed by an increase in the bulk of
the buildings facing the streets is a
corresponding increase in traffic and
the benefits are lost.

JUST BETWEEN YOU M ME-

Naturally there are two sides to the "Buy-at-
Home and Arizona Products Week" The Home
Merchants have duty to perform in having the
goods the home folks want and letting the home
folks know they have them.
Home business men are sometimes amazed
when they find next-door neighbors do not know
all the line of goods they have to sell.
The Coconino Sun loses enough printing busi-
ness annually to feed two or three more Flagstaff
home-buying families. Not on account of prices,
but because some high powered foreign salesman
drifts in and sells the busy business man who
does not stop to think he could get the same
service here.
A part of this loss is The Suns fault.
The other part is the merchants loss, along the
same line As to printing, The Sun can handle
most any old thing the people want. 1t it is odd
jobs like engraving and kindred things, we know
how to best handle it and give expert advice.
That's our job.
We are certain the same idea prevails among
our business men. They are here for service in
their different lines and would be glad to be con-
suited as to your needs.
Service is half the battle among the right kind
of business men in this day and age. It may be
they have not got what you want, but they are
willing to give you expert advice without charge.
Some one must pay the car fare and hotel bills
of the high powered foreign salesman.
If you buy of him--you do.
The Coconino sun., 1927-03-18
THE SOLICITOR PEST
Tucson Citizen)

During recent five-day period,
the Flagstaff Chamber of Commerce
has received calls from 18 solicitors,
most of whom were representing peri
odicals, asking that letter of guaran-
tee of their fidelity and good faith be
issued by the Better Business Bureau
of the Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce.
In two instances, there were nine
people representing the same comp
any who arrived in Flagstaff just two
days apart. In two cases when the
firm which the solicitor claimed to
represent, was wired, it was found
that no such agent was authorized.
In another case the headquarters re-
cognized the representative but failed
to guarantee his responsibility.
In this connection, the Flagstaff
Chamber of Commerce has solution
two offer as follows:
First, that no solicitation be per-
mitted within a city or town in the
state without the agent first making
application through the local COM
mercial body of that city and defray-
ing the cost of kilograms to and from
his company headquarters in order
that said commercial body may be
advised as to the agents and COM
pany's responsibility. And also that
the city or town council instruct their
police department to forbid solicit
alton on the streets Of the city unless
the agent or solicitor has a certified
Endorsement from the commercial
body, as to his and the company's
responsibility and reliability.
Also, that in cases where the agent
refuses to defray the expenses of the
above, that publication be given to the
fact in the local press.
It is also suggested by the Flagstaff
Chamber of Commerce that, following
the visit of the solicitor or again that
letter be written to the firm repre-
sented advising them Of the policy

HOW MUCH Do YOU KNOW ABOUT
8 FLAGSTAFF?

When you stop to think of it how much do you
actually know about your own home town? How
many times have you been stumped by some ques-
tionfrom tourist?
Do you know what the city tax rate is or what
its taxable valuation is?
Do you know what the water rate is or how
much we use daily?
Do you know the altitude of the city, or the
average rainfall
Whoinel's the mayor and members of the city
council?
How many blocks of paving or how many more
we need :?
Who named 'Riyer de Flag?
How much lumber is cut annually here by the
different sawmS
Where do they get their timber?
These are only few of the many questions we
should be posted on in order to talk intelligently
to visitors
