and unanSWerabIe.
The thought that was upperrnost
in the minds of other taxpayers
was I'VE wonder why our property
values were not decreased by the
republican supervisors in proportion
to the reductions made for E. K.
Cumming and H. r. Sisk." This
expression was heard on every hand
and even the republicans could see
the unfairness of the thing.
Reduction Not General
Taxpayers have no objection to
the reduction of property values,
so long as the reductions are gen.
eral and uniform but when those
reductions are made for only few
who happen to have political in
fluence, such unfair practice is not
sanctioned by any fair minded voter.
Outstanding among the reductions
made by the republican supervisors
was that On the Cumming & McIn-
tyre lot at the corner of Arroyo and
Elm which was reduced from $1,000
to $5200 by the republican super
visors, when it was generally known
that this same lot was offered to
the Elks' lodge for $4,000 by E. K.
Cumming and when the latter stated
most emphatieally that this was his
rock-bottom priee-that the proper
ty was well worth even more than
that.
And as for the property Of H. r.
Sisk-including the building in
which the republican newspaper is
published-taxpayers were general
in their denunciation of such prac-
tice. They could not understand why
the Sisk lot was reduced by the re-
publican supervisors from 5000 to
$4100 and his building reduced from
$9280 to $8315, when many other
pieces Of property in the city were
allowed to stand at the values fixed
by the state tax survey board.
With reference to the Maricopa
county injunction suit which only
affected the property values in Mar
icopa county, it was pointed out by
the county assessor and others who
knew the situation, that no suit had
been filed to prevent the Santa Cruz
county assessor from using the val
ues fixed by the state tax survey
board. Therefore, he proceeded, and
rightfully so, to use the values furn-
ished him by that board. There are
hundreds Of property values for 1880
now On the county tax rolls that
were fixed by the state tax survey

A LA
CHICAGO STLYE
NEAR NOGALES

A public shooting affair that
would have done credit to Chicago
was enacted on country road not
far from the Nogales city limits
Thursday night-aot long after dark,
and the sheriff's department is still
at loss to know what it was all
about.
While Bill Lotus, well known citi-
zen of Santa Cruz county and who
is employed as mine watchman,
was driving peacefully along the
highway, another car drove up from
behind and as it was about even
with Lotus car, an unknown man
seated in the rear of the other car,
opened fire with revolver, firing
five shots directly at Mr.. LOTUS.
One of the bullets went through
the left door of Lotus car, passed
through his leg and lodged in the
front seat. Another bullet went
through the glass of the left door
and just skipped across his steer
ing wheel. Still another went three
the frame of his car and lodged in
the back of the front seat. Five shots
in all were fired and then the other
car sped away. One bullet was fired
through one of the tires on LOTUS
car, causing a blowout and he was
unable to pursue the other machine.
