commissioner and deputies the pro-
posed salary raise and also elimin.
ating the necessity of growers help
ing to pay salaries of inspectors.
Numerous other limits, such as
number of inspectors employed for
for any one purpose, are outlined in
the amendment bill.
The board also went on record as
opposed to assembly bill 11SS
which relates to apportionment OF
school funds. Cal Mousseau, coun-
ty clerk, was also instructed to send
copies of this resolution to the as
semblyman cf this district and TO

MOTOR BUS LINES SOON
WILL BE BIG FEATURE
in THIS CITY'S GROWTH

With the betterment and extension
of our highways, the increase in our
hotel accommodations, and the con-
stant publicity being given Arizona
and Flagstaff by Arizona's and Flag
staff's active chambers of commerce,
comes increase of tourist travel, and
especially of travel with Flagstaff as
its pivot, that means bigger and bet
ter business for Flagstaff.
Just now a strong attempt is being
made by a Phoenix company, one with
ample financial backing, to get from
the state corporation commission a
franchise for an automobile bus line
from Nogales on the Mexican border
to Salt Lake City.
The plan is to run huge busses in
the Salt River valley, with feeder lines
to Ell Paso and San Bernardino and
even farther west; slightly smaller
buses to Prescott and Flagstaff, maxi
ing Flagstaff an overnight point, and
seven-passenger closed cars from
Flagstaff to Salt Lake City. The pros
moters have vision Of gigantic
southwest bus system.
The Fred Harvey people very likely
will soon, probably this summer,
greatly enlarge their local bus service
and it is highly probable will advertise
optional automobile transportation
through northern Arizona via desert
and other great scenic points the same
as has been so successfully done since
last summer in the country around
Santa Fe, N. M. In the event these
Arizona optional trips become fea-
ture of the Santa Fe railway-Fred
Harvey service, Flagstaff, now that
we have hotel accommodations for
more people, viii have an important
place in the itinerary and will be the
starting point for side trips to Oak
Creek Canyon, the Cliff Dwellings
and other nearby scenic points.

U. S. LIQUOR DICKS
ASSIST LOCAL POLICE
In BOOTLECCER RAIDS


Federal Liquor operators, Reinhart
Greene and Tom Forbes, of San
Diego, Cal, working in conjunction
with city and county police officers
closed in the net on the two local
alleged bootleggers Tuesday night
and secured enough evidence it is
claimed for conviction. Both cases
were tried Wednesday afternoon
before Police Magistrate Clarence T..
Pulliam, and conviction was for the
sale of liquor.
The two men who were raided We're
George Elliot, residing on Railroad
avenue and Jim McCann, South Sit
greayes street. Early. Tuesday night
Greene. and Forbes, in company with
several local high school boys and
girls went to the two suspected liquor
dispensaries and, it is alleged pur-
chased a pint of "moon" from each.
The two men had long been suspected
of selling to high school pupils and
other minors and it was for this
reason that local police officials
brought in outside talent" to get the
necessary evidence. Both Greene
and F'orsbe are young and would pass
for II or 18 years of age. They have
been successful in other cities in this
section of the country in securing con-
victing evidence and we're brought
here on recommendation from other
police departments.
McCann was sentenced to g $500
fine and 60 days in jail. He chose
to appeal his case and it will come
before Superior Judge ]. E. Jones
sometime next week. He is at
liberty under S400 bonds.
Elliot was given fine Of $500 and
d sentence of 30 days in Jail suspen-
ded for six months. He paid his
fine.
Although thorough search was
made Of the premises of both conyic-
ted men no liquor could be located,
AT the home Of Elliot, however, it is
said over 1000 empty bottles and
flasks were found. Officers who made
the search believe that the supplies
of liquor were cached outside of the
buildings.

raids were City Marshal j. r. Cooper,

They were at Mayhew's Oak Greek

rancher, says that the creek remained
high longer than at any time within
his recollection, and that goes back
40 years.
It took 45 loads of rock to suffi-
GENTLY build up the creek bed in front
of the lodge so that the car could be
be driven across to the highway,
which was accomplished Thursday
afternoon. The trip down. the canyon
took all day. Mr.. Compton walked up
the canyon from the lodge to the rim.
He says the road is very badly dam
aged by high water and the land
slides. Carl made good use of his re-
tirement by getting done great deal
of work on the lodge and grounds that
had to be done before the spring open
ing to guests. He and Mr.. Compton
returned to Oak Greek via jerome on

Flagstaff Wins
Mesa Rotary Cup

The Flagstaff Rotary club, instead
of Holbrook, won the attendance cup
at the 43rd district conference at Mesa
last week, it was ascertalned on re-
check of attendance figures, G. B.
Flynn, conference secretary announced
Sunday.
Presentation of the attendance cup
was made by Governor Monte Butler
to the Holbrook club at the closing OF
the session on Friday afternoon. Their
victory then was by narrow margin,
and when it was learned that Flag
staff had Is instead of Ia Rotarians
in attendance at the conference a re-
traction was necessary.
Final figures Of the attendance
honors showed Flagstaff in the lead
by scant 10 points.
The copper loving cup was pre-

having the best attendance at the con-
ference, computed as follows: The
total club registration at conference,
multiplied by the percentage OF the
club membership in attendance, and

CASES BEFORE SUPERIOR
COURT NEXT WEEK HAVE
DWINDLED TO ONLY ONE

When superior court is convened
next Monday morning by Judge ]. E.
Jones there will be only one case to
try, instead of several as had been ex-
pected when the judge few days ago
ordered the drawing of jury.
As stated last week in The Sun, it
had been decided to defer to a later
date trial of the Winslow bank cases
brought here on change of venue.
Then, few days ago, the Yavapai
county bank cases, also brought here
on change Of venue, were dismissed at
Tombstone by Judge Albert M.
Sames, who was scheduled to try
them in this court beginning next
Wednesday,. Judge Sames dismissed
the cases on the technicality that they
had not been brought to trial within
so days following Indictment. This
means, if the state is to proceed with
the prosecution, that it will be neces-
sary to do so on informations instead
of indictments, and acts as a stay of
trial.
In the meantime, Coconino county,
which had two criminal trials on
docket, has whitfield it down to one
by decision to turn one of the cases
over to the national government. This
is the case of d. R. Won Keller, to be
tried for passing bad checks, but who
it is said just prior to that stole a
Nash roadster in Bakersfield, Calf,
and who accordingly will be liberated
to Uncle Sam for prosecution on that
charge.
So the only criminal case and
there are no civil cases-to come up
this term will be that of Charles Hall,
colored, who stabbed Carl Peasants,
also coloret1, to death here last fall.
County Attorney Frank M. Gold is all
ready to proceed with Halls prosecu-
tion. WE. Ferguson of Holbrook is
defendants attorney.
Won Keller's bad check passing
here had all the ear-marks Of the in
spiration Of a genius, Under-sheriff
D. L. Mckinney says. Won Keller
breezed into the local telephone of
flee, it is alleged, and told Homer g..
Mayabb, then manager, that he was
working for the telephone company
and was about to unload a few cars of
telephone poles at Williams. He even,
it is said, went so far as to hire lot
Of men here to do the unloading.
Mayabb took it for granted Won. Kel-
Ter was telling the truth. "A few min
utes later, in Mayabb's absence from
his office, Won Keller, it is said, came
in and had Mrs. Mayabb cash $35
check for him. Mayabb when he
heard of 1t was suspicious, phoned
Phoenix headquarters and was told
Won Keller was an impostor. Jimmie
Gallagher also cashed one of Won Kel-
ler's checks. Tex Rawson has a bill
against him for pulling the stolen
Nash out of the ditch near Bellemont,
where Won Keller had stalled it.
The Coconino sun., 1927-03-18

Coconino county and Flagstaff are
about to emerge out OF the chaos OF
high taxes and a low valuation, a
condition which was brought about in
1921 following the general slump
throughout the country, says w. M.
Beeson, former county assessor, in
an interview with Sun represent
ative yesterday.
"There is every reason to believe,~ 6
|said Mr.. Beeson, that the peak of
unstable conditions in the tax way
have been reached, and within the
next two years we shall see city and
county taxes back to normalcy."
In 1920, according to Mr.. Beeson,
the assessed valuation of the county
was over % millions of dollars. Taxes
were low because of this valuation,
but in 1921 when conditions began
to reverse themselves and cattle and
sheep values slumped from $50 to
S22.5O and eight dollars to six dollars
respectively, the figure dropped from
% million to little over 20 million.
With the same or larger amount Of
money necessary to run the govern
ment of the county, the inevitable
happened and the tax rate took a
jump. The condition repeated itself
in 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925 until the
valuation of cattle was down to SIS
and sheep at five dollars. Not only
did the values drop, but the number of
animals on the ranges fell off. Thus
the condition started in 1921 was ag-
gravated for the next four years.
Last year, 1926, the board of super
visors authorized cut of 20 per cent
on all farm lands and this with lower
re re-assessments at various times by
the county assessor has kept the farm
valu cs somewhat lower than they
were in 1920, whereas there should be
an increase due to the improvement
and addition Of state lands to assess
able property.
In the city of Flagstaff, tax con-
ditions have been such as to make one
wonder where the various figures
come from. When a glance at the
different years figures show that in
Esix years q the city has made no
appreciable increase in valuation one
is inclined to think that Flagstaff
has been at standstill This has
not been the case as the figures have
been kept at the 1921 level through
economic factors over which assessors
have had no control. In 1925 re-
distribution of capital stock of one of
the local banks gave Mohavc county
an increased valuation while that
amount was lost to Flagstaff and
Coconino county. During 1926 one
of the banks acquired real estate
which in turn displaced capital stock
valuation and that amount was lost
"But the end has been reached, !"
says Mr.. Beeson, "and with the in
crease of stock on the ranges, build
ing going on everywhere and the low
points being hit in assessing, the val
uation figure in the county must
through force Of circumstance become
stabalized and the tax rate adjust
itself at lower level. In the next
tax roll for the city will be found
such property as the Monte Vista
hotel, the Coconino Suns new build
ing, the B. and NJ. Camp ground,
Brooks auto camp, the Charles Lehr
building, Joe Waldhaus' new garage,
the new Postal Telegraph building.
