AN EDITORIAL

The G. O. P. Of Santa Cruz county is running true
to form.
A meager tax reduction Of 27 cents on the 500
valuation has been announced by the republican board
OF supervisors and the republican mouthpiece has
heralded the amazing announcement that Taxpayers
will thousands Of dollars by the 90-cent cut in
taxes, or words to that effect and the mouth
piece goes to explain that this saving is made pos
sibe by the economical in which the republi-
supervisors have conducted the counys affairs.
Is it at all surprising that such republican cam
paign fodder should be fed to the voters of Santa
Cruz county within three months of the general cleo
ion and when the primary is less than three weeks
off?
But this would have been excusable, probably,
had the republican mouthpece stuck to facts and told
the whole truth instead of nfering that the republ-
supervisors of this county responsible for
the entire 90-cent reduction in taxes.
AS matter of fact the tax reduction should have
been much greater than it and it would have been
had the ECONOMY" mentioned by the republican
mouthpece been practiced by the republican super
visors in the administration Of the cOuntys general
fund.
To begin with, the taxpayers should know these
facts The county tax rate will be $155 the $4,000
valuation, as compared with $182 last year. The re-
mainder of the tax reduction was made by the city,
the state and the school district comprising Nogaes
and small portion of the outlying territory And
right here it should be mentioned that City School

SCHOOL ECONOMY And HOUSE
BILL l27 RESPONSIBLE FOR
tax REDUCTION IN COUNTY
Although County's Operating Costs
Grow, AS Shown By General
Fund, Taxes Reduced

The general tendency
throughout the state Of
Arizona this year has been
to reduce taxes as much
as possible and Santa Cruz
county, with the aid Of the
democratic State Tax
Commission and the prac-
tice of strictest economy
by democratic school trus-
tees, has fallen in line with
the program.
Property owners of this
county will pay about 90
cents less On the $4,000
valuation than they paid
last year, according to the
tentative tax rate of $4.02
fixed a few days ago.
This figure is subject to
change but there is every
indication it will not be al
tered very materially. In
fact it is expected the rate
will be within l cent Of
this figure by the time the
tax is apportioned among
the various county funds
when the board Of super
visors meets Monday.
Based on its tentative budget out
lined some days ago, the non-parti-
san board of aldermen of the city
of Nogales had already arrived at a
CITY tax rate of $1.O1 on the $4,000
valuation, as compared with $106
last year. The State Tax Commission
had fixed the state tax at 80 cent,
as against SO cents last year, and
the school tax for District No. l.,
embracing the city of Nogales and
a small portion of outlying territory,
had been fixed at &c cents, as a.
gainst Sill last year, or reduc-
ton in this one tax of As cents.
1t was not surprising, therefore,
when the republican county board
of supervisors announced the county
tax rate will be $1.55, as compared
with $182 last year, reduction of
27 cents, especially when it was
shown by the books of the county
treasurer that the county school
trustees had reduced their budget
for the general school fund this
year s23,31329 and that by reason
of the tremendous amount of back
taxes and interest collected by
County Treasurer A. Dumbauld dur
ing the past twelve months, the
county had available in the general
fund at the beginning of this fis-
cal year $63, 10000 as compared with
only $28,232.52 at the beginning of

of the finest little club houses
and one Of the Aest regulafiem
golf courses in the state.

when members of the NOgRfes

the previous fiscal year.
As matter of fact, those in close
touch with the situation expected
much greater reduction in the
county tax rate this year and it was
pointed out that the reduction
would have been greater had other
departments of the county govern
ment, paid for out of the general
fund, been operated as economical
ly as were the schools of both the
city and county. The board of super
visors has direct supervision over
the expenditure of all money in
the general fund but it has no jur-
isdiction over the school funds.
A point that must be considered
by the supervisors when they meet
Monday to fix the tax rate will be
the $1.OO reduction on livestock an
nounced by the State Tax Commis-
sion. There are approximately 49,
600 head of cattle in Santa Cruz
county and this means the county
will collect $4,000 less this year in
taxes on cattle.
County Treasurer Dumbauld said
it was due entirely to the provisions
of House Bill No. 127 that he was
enabled to collect $136, ,323.31 in de-
hnquent taxes for the years 1915
to 1927 inclusive and interest on
back taxes amounting to $32 2,87298.

NEW SERVICE
PLAN FOR REQ

"At least 80 per cent Of all
the ills that occur in the opera
ton OF automobiles are caused
either by lack Of fabrication or
fabrication that is faulty" &C
Cording to Don c. Streeter ser
vice manager of the REQ Motor
Car Company, who announces,
through A. K. Murphy, local REQ
distributor, a brand-new service
plan for REQ owners, designed to
counteract this problem.
The plan as promulgated by
REQ engineers after several years
OF intensive research and which
Is to be cooperative between the
manufacturer, dealer and the car
owner, is simple yet effective and
covers every element of new car
service on a proper and scientific
basis, Streeter declares.
The plan is known as the REQ
Protective Maintenance Record"
and entails the purchase of q
coupon book simultaneously with
new car. The book gives COM
plete service and inspection cover
age during its first 10000 miles
of operation. Another book may
be purchased for the second
10000 miles.
The cost Of the service. like
the purchase price of the car,
may be paid in inStallments at
the same time the monthly car
payments are made.
THE plan, according to Streeter.
provides new car owners with
the kind of service and inspection
that not only prolongs the life of
the car, but increases it's oper-
ating efficiency as we'll. Nothing
but the best tested lubricants are
used, and these only after rigid
experimentation by factory engi.
neers and the service department.
LAS an incentive to have the
car serviced every 1000 miles.
the plan provides for rebate of
10 per cent Of the service price
if the owner brings his car in
for service within $50 miles of
the specified mileage on the va
riouS coupons.

NEW MODEL IN

Coincident with the automobile
Show this week Marmon presents
Tor the first showing the Marmon
Roosevelt straight eight, a new
and greatly improved model of
the first eight ever manufactured
TO sell in the $1,000 field.
The 1880 Marmon-R Roosevelt
was not exhibited at the New
York show and Ed Neumeyer,
local distributor, was fortunate in
obtaining show models of the new
creation to present to the Wash.
lngton public simultaneous with
the showing of this car at the

this week.
Has Four Fights
With this car Marmon enters
the auto show and the 1880 sell.
Ing season with four entirely new
straight Fights, covering the major
price fields. In addition to the
Marmon-Roosevelt, the new Mar
mon eight-69 and eight-79 are also
making their first appearance at
the auto show, and the Marmon
pig eight, the new entry into the
Ilne car field, has been on the
market only since late last fall.
The Marmon-Roosevelt, as its
name indicates, bears familiar re.
semblance to other products in
the Marmon line, and is roomier,
more powerful and better appear
Ing than its predecessor. It's
straight eight motor develops II
horsepower, an increase of seven
horsepower over the preceding
model.
More Beautiful
RefinmentS in chassis design,
particularly with respect to the
front axle and spring system
bring the entire car one inch
lower, and this fact, combined
with larger tire sizes, a more mas
Slve front and redesigned tenders,
has resulted in more beautiful as
we'll as sturdier appearance from
bumper to bumper.
A large radiator, similar to
that used on other Marmon
products with a pointed beak and
ample depth for effective chro-
MUM plating is used, and the
name plate has been redesigned
In line with the name of the car.

Horsepower Defre
For Auto Gunner

The origin and significance of
the term horsepower" probably
is lost to the average motorist
who speaks so glibly of the power
developed by his car.
The horsepower unit was formu-
lated in 1880 by James tt, in
ventor of the steam engine.
shortly after the product of his
genius had proved it's ability to
replace the horses previously used
at the mills, mines, breWeries, and
distilleries of England. Watt de-
scribed one horsepower as the eff
fort Of a horse moving at two
and one-half miles per hour and
raising a weight of $50 pounds
by means of rope passed over
a pulley, the effort being equal
to raising $4,000 pounds one foot
high in one minute.
Based on Watts formula, the
