TAXATION MENACE

UNLESS taxation is reduced,
it cannot be very long before
private property is destroyed
entirely" said DR.. Milbank
johnson of the California Tax
payers Association.
That is a thought which has
been engaging great many
minds Of late Excessive taxa
tion has closed factories and
caused the loss of jobs. 1t
causes people to lose their homes
and in some states a large per-
centage of the farm land has
been taken over by government
for unpaid taxes---in others, the
taxes are years in arrears.
Budget Director, Lewis John
son, has pointed out that the
United States Treasury will sus-
tain another great deficit at the
end of the 1884 fiscal year, and
that additional appropriations
can be met only by increased
taxes. State tax rates are far
above any normal figure.
The American people face no
greater issue than taxation.
Economical government means
progress, jobs, good wages.
Wasteful or overly developed
government means continued
depression, more unemployment
more distress.

BITING THE HAND THAT
is. FEEDING YOU

Over in Oklahoma last month
a worker on a civil works pro-
ject was hauled before the
police judge on a charge of be-
ing drunk and maligning Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The usual fine
in a case of drunk and disorder
ly conduct, assessed by tha4
judge was $500 and costs, but
in this case he promptly raised
the fine to $1,000 and costs,
because you are biting the
the hand that feeds you" A
judge of that type commands a
great deal of respect from us.
And along that line let us
suggest to local CWA workers
that the work they are receiv-
ing and which is being paid for
by the federal government, is a
matter of providing help for
them and the Community as
well. If you use this money to
buy the things you need from
local merchants your are help
ing yourself and the commun-
ity. If you send it to the mail
order houses, you are injuring
both yourself and community.
A little home town loyalty is
a great thing. Think it over.--

ed. The 40 nurses who will

instructions.
During the past week DR.
Truman, state Supt. if public
health, has been receiving ap-
plications made to the civil
works boards in the counties
by registered nurses who have
been on the relief rolls. He
stated yesterday that he belle V
ed the number of such nurses

work had been provided. In
eight counties, he said, there

relief rolls and no applications
were received from them. APP
proximately % of the nurses
will come from Maricopa Co.
The survey in the beginning
will be confined entirely to the
grade schools in the state. The
nurses will visit the schools and
examine each of the pupils, tab
ulating on a printed card for

Harold Titus
Distinguished AHthOrOfOGr
New Serial "Code of the North"

When Harold Titus locates a
story in the north woods he has
setting with which he is familiar.
He knew the north woods; he
knew lumber camps; he knew the
lumber "jacks" and their ways,
for he was born and raised with
them. He is a native of Traverse
City, Grand Traverse county,
Michigan. His lullaby when an
infant was the ring of the woods
mans ak and the crash of the
pine and spruce as they fell. He
spent his boyhood days amidst the
lumber camps that then dotted
northern Michigan. He harks
back to the stirring scenes of
those boyhood days when he wants
a setting and characters for the
kind of story he finds joy in
writing.
Harold Titus is a graduate Of
the University of Michigan. In
school he showed a decided bent
for a job of writing, and he fol-
lowed it up after graduating by
securing a reporters position on
the Detroit News. Then the call
of the beauty of the outdoors
caused him to go back to his home
county and write, with the grow
ing of fruit as a side line.
When the World war came he
enlisted in the American army and
served throughout the conflict as
a sergeant in the ordnance serv-
ice, which gave him experiences
and settings for more stories.
With the close of the war he went
back to his stories and his fruit
farm, but for a time served as
conservation commissioner for the
state.
Harold Titus has produced a
number of stories that have
achieved distinction. Among them
may be mentioned, Conquered"
Bruce of the Circle" "The Last
Straw" Climber" "The Beloved
Pawn" "Below Zero" and many
others, the latest of which is
"Code of the North" which will
appear serially in these columns,
the time of which is the numbering
days of the north, and the setting
and characters are those with
which he was familiar as a boy.
1t is an especially good story, with
an abundance of action, depicting
stirring adventures and a charm
ing romance.

AUTO LICENSE
LIMIT STANDS

Owners of automobiles who
have not gotten his 1884 license
plates yet were urged by E. M.
Whitworth, superintendent of
the motor vehicle division of
the state highway department,
to do so at once and avoid the
rush at the end of the month.
There will be no extention
Of time to get new license plates
this year unless there is a spec
ial session of the legislature. ;"
he said, 'since that body is the
only official group in the state
that can extend the time The
state law says that the double
license fee will be applied 80
days after December 81 of the
previous year Tor failure to OBJ
tain new licenses.
'Last year the legislature
gave 60 days grace, but it is
not in session now and the grace
period will not be extended.
Officials must begin to collect
the double license fee January
81 for all licenses issued for cars
registered in the previous year.
1t is mandatory upon them to
do so. Wise motorists will not
wait until the last moment and
then be unable to get their
plates before the time limit ex-
p ires."

The 1934-35 Cotton Acreage
Reduction Plan Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administra-
tion will be discussed and it is
hoped that all cotton producers
will plan on attending one of
these meetings.
In order to expediate the work
of filling out of Acreage Reduc-
ton Contracts, it is essential
that the producer have the fol-
lowing information at hand:
l A detailed statement of
the acreage IN various crops,
cotton, alfalfa, grain, pasture,
etc. for the two years 1892 and
1888.
2 A detailed statement of
the number of acres farmed to
cotton during each of the years
1923, '29, 80, 81, '32, and '33,
or, if the land was not farmed
in cotton in all these years, than
for the years in which it was
farmed.
3 A detailed statement and
record of the number of bales of
cotton produced on the farm
during each of the years of the
above period in which it was
planted to cotton. If some
other grower farmed the land
during the period, or any one
or more years of the period,
which you will farm this year,
then do your best to secure
from the gin or grower who
farmed the land, neighbor, or
other reliable sources, the num-
Der of bales produced.
If the grower brings this in
form mation with him when he
comes to submit an offer to en-
ter into the Acreage Reduction
Plan, his contract can be filled
out in the shortest time.
The County Agricultural
Agent will be in Tucson the
week of January 8-13, at the
Annual Extension Conference.
On Tuesday or Wednesday Of
that week Mr.. Miller, Assistant
Chief of the Cotton Section, A.
A. A., will outline the plan and
give some administrative rulings
on subjects peculiar to the irri-
gated Southwest.
The week of January 1-6 has
been spent in delivering cotton
options to local growers. A
majority have signifed their in
tention of cooperating in the
Acreage Reduction Campaign,
and have taken the $40 bale in
advance. Checks should begin
arriving in about two weeks.
You will note that those who
take the 4c a pound or $40 a
bale advance have to have
their option papers in Washing
ton by January 18th. Conse-
quentIy all growers were noti-
fed by letter and the week of
January 1-6 was devoted to
signing up either one or the
other of the option plans.
There are few cotton options
which have not come to the
County as yet. Those growers
still have an opportunity of en-
tering into the $40 a bale ad-
vance, if done within 80 days
of the date appea ring on the
option.

ACCOUNTANCY
OFFERS VITAL
FIELDOE WORK
BY b. e. HUNSINGER

Director, Benjamin Franklin
University AccOuntancy School
Walter B. Pitkin, in his re-
cent book, New Careers for
Youth, "Today'S Job outlook
for Men and Women from
Seventeen to Thirty-two," places
accountancy among the hope.
full fields. These are the fields,
he says, which will offer fine
opportunities during the next
decade.
Revolutionary changes now
taking place in the economic
world are opening new doors
to accountancy-trained men
and women. More than ever
before, dependence is being
placed upon accountancy by
the public, by the Government,
and by business.
The public depends upon
accountants for protection in
investments, to insure that it's
tax money is properly &C.
counted for and expended, and
to fix just rates for public
utilities. The New Deal has
produced a spirit of investiga-
ton and critical analysis. Peo-
pie are tearing things apart
to see what makes the wheels
go around. To do this they
must examine the records of
what has been done, and &C
counting records have assumed
a new significance in the pub
lie mind.
The Government uses &C.
counting in its recovery efforts
and there is no phase of the
recovery program which does
not rest upon accounting in
formation. There is no legiSla-
ton in the recovery program
which can be enforced without
the aid of accountancy.
Accountancy has always
been an important factor in
business management, but in
the past year, under the vari
GUS laws enacted to help in
dustrial recovery, a greatly in
creased responsibility has been
placed upon it. Over 300 ap-
proved codes provide for the
adoption of cost accounting
systems to be binding upon all
members of the industry.
