The Tinega Tanta Camp Fire
Girls returned Tuesday August
16, from a weeks camping trip
at Oracle. Eight girls and the
guardian with an assistant en-
joyed the hiking and the pleas
ures of camp life. One morning
the girls hiked about three miles
from camp and cooked their
breakfast over a camp fire,
roasting eggs in the hot ashes
and broiling bacon on sticks and
baking biscuits on end of sticks
over the Goals. Another enjoy :
able form of hiking was blazing

The groups divided and took
turns cooking the meals over an
open fire giving each girl a
chance to win honors for the
different things she did. Those
who enjoyed the trip were

Miner Digs Up
$1,000 In Bills

One thousand dollars in old
bills are in custody of Phoenix
National Bank to be retired from
circulation after having lain for
nearly 35 years buried in a tin
can in the yard of a Globe resi-
dence.
The money was the property
of a veteran Globe miner who
buried it and just recently got
tired" of bothering about it and
decided to dig it up and invest
it in U. S. postal savings. The
money was then cleared through
the local bank.
Had the 81, 900 been deposited
in a savings bank at four per
cent interest, compounded an
nually, it would have multiplied
to nearly 81, 900 over the 80 year
period. 1t was estimated.
Many of the old bills were
issued by banks in territorial
days.--Arizona Republic.

CONGRESSMAN |. v.
DOUGLAS SPEAKS

EIIOTJS llldu6 Ny COlSIcSS dU
the last session to restore conf
dence and revive industry so
that men could go back to work
were discussed by Congressman
Lewis w. Douglas in addresses
made during the past week on a
campaign tour which included
meetings at Miami, Globe, Bis
bee and Douglas. The greatest
accomplishment from the view
point of the thing most effecting
Arizona was the including of the
copper tariff in the revenue act,
while from the national view
point the outstanding achieve
ment was legislation which re-
suited in the credit of the United
States being maintained, Mr..
Douglas pointed out.
Congress was shown through
the aid of the people of the state
who so courageously conducted
the battle for copper tariff that
Arizona and her people were
facing real distress as result of
the abnormal depression of her
largest industry. Realizing that
only twice before have articles
been shifted from the free to the
tariff list without congress act
ing upon a general tariff revis-
ion, efforts were devoted to
placing a four cent import duty
on copper in the revenue bill,
And through superhuman eff
orts, we did get tariff on cop
per.
However, though that was
successful, the fight will not be
won until the rate is increased
and copper is placed on the
permanent tariff list. Just as
more than year ago | pledged
that l would exert every ounce
of effort to get a copper tariff,
l now renew the pledge to make
every effort at the next general
tariff revision to have copper
placed on the perma nent list.
Concerning legislation of gen.
eral effect, Mr.. Douglas pointed
out that at the opening of the
session the credit of the United
States was hanging in the bal
ance. In 1881, the actual de-
ficit of the nation was 5000, ,000,-
600 and in 1882 it was $780,
100000. The estimated deficit
for 1888 was 1,700,000,000 ex-
elusive of debt service require
ments.
Never before has such sit
uation faced this nation. Our
nationals were losing confidence
in the governments credit.
They were hording money and
government bonds were selling
below par. Foreigners were sell
ling American dollars and con-
verting them into gold.
'Taxes are not pleasant things
but it was necessary that a rev.
enue bill be passed to handle
the situation. While the bill is
in many respects nuisance tax,
it's main value was that it was
not an expression of the policy
that the credit of our govern
ment must be maintained. And,
for the first time, we are paying
federal taxes directly. This will
help to make us tax conscious
and will show us that federal
taxes have an important bearing
on our welfare,

TO THE TAX PAYERS
OF PINAL COUNTY

III OluCl W SlhC q u uC plStuiS
of the tax situation of Pinal
County | feel that we will have
to 90 back to the organization
of the Pinal County Tax Pay
ers League of one year ago for
the consideration of the 1881
1892 tax levy or budget. Com
pairing the budget of 1930-3l in
which the highway budget was
S199, 10000 with an expenditure
of Sl80,862.25 with the high
way budget of 1892 which
was S165.000.00 and an expen-
diture of s137 ,809.32 reflects a
saving. to the taxpayers, for the
fiscal year just ended of $685.
10000 on the amount budgeted
and saving in money actually
spent of S43, ,052.93- to give
the devil his dues. "
1t was generally conceded
by your committees that this
material saving was made pri-
marilly by your county engineer
through efficient and economic
al administration of his organi-
zation.
In addition to the saving in
the highway department there
is reflected a saving OF SS, ,632.66
in the general court house bud
get for the year just ended.
So with this situation before
us, your committees in going
before your county officials re-
questing futher reductions in
county expenditures this year
could only go at it from the
angle of eliminating all non-es-
sentials and making drastic cuts
wherever possible. Unfortun-
ately, or perhaps fortunately,
for the taxpayers of Pinal Co.
this road budget was the largest
item of expense that could be
cut. So the action was center
ed on that item, and, with the
cooperation of the county en-
gineer and the board of super
visors, your committees were in.
strumental in securing a very
substantial reduction of S70,-
10000 in the road budget from
last years budget, or a cut of
S60,000.00 on the actual tax
levy of last year. The cut is
the result of cutting out of all
betterment work and new con-
struction and of the cutting of
wages and working time,
amounting in the aggregate to a
reduction of approximately 33
and a third per cent of wages.
In view of this being an elec-
tion year with the added ex-
pense of elections and bonds of
the incoming officials and the re-
newing of insurance policies
which expire this year, the gen.
eral budget does not reflect the
actual cuts made in this depart
ment of SIS, ,267.3S from the
budget of last year. This came
through the elimination of some
extra clerks and reduction of
Is per cent in the salaries of
other. clerks and deputy sheriffs
The salaries of county officials
and chief deputies were budget
ed for FIVE months on the basis
of a second class county, and
expense items throughout the
budget were cut.
The budget of county bonds
show an increase over last year
owing to s25. 100000 interest on
county bonds that was levied
last year.
The general school budget re-
fleets quite cut, and consider
able credit is due our various
school boards for their efforts tC
