 SENATE CALLS
Former Postmaster Gen= eral Denies All Charges
 About Airmail
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPI.E United Press Staff CorreSpOndcnt)

New York, Jan 11-UP)-For- mer Postmaster General Walter F. Brown today told the United Press that when the whole story of air transportation under his adminis- tration is made public a very diff ferent picture will be presented than the one now emanating from Washington"
 Brown made the declaration that mot a single official document to my knowledge or with my approv- al or at my direction was ever burned when I left office"
 "Whatever documents were de stroyed were purely of Q personal nature and had no relation to the administration of the post office department"
 For two reason he said, he would not make a definite reply at the present time, to specific pieces of testimony thus far taken by the senate Investigating committee.
 The two reasons, he said were:
 That I owe the committee the courtesy of presuming that they will call upon me to testify, and that it would be foolish for me to keep on replying from day to day to whatever is said in Washington about me-"
 Brown explained that no con- tracts and no letters dealing with official contracts for air mail or ocean mail were in his files. All such documents. he said, went as a routine procedure to the office of the second assistant postmaster general.
 Tt seems to me-" he said smil ing, that they are trying to make me out q czar. As a matter O. fact was, in q sense, because had to be, in order to produce tht necessary progress in this country: commercial aviation.

a series of sweeping curves on the charts
Of the economists, with peaks about IA years

the losing end at most times. When the peak

little too low to take full advantage The high

80 PERCENT CUT
IN VALUATION
HERE PROPOSED

Proposal Of a committee Of JaE-
payers made up OF J. N. Karan,. C.
c. Cheshire, John Jund. 2. E. Baf-
fert. E. K. Cumming, Charles Wis.,
L. v. Bailey. II. r. Sisk. Fortunate
Macon and j. c. Tovrea that a 80
percent cut be made in the asse' s.
ed valuation Of real estate and i'm
provements in Nogales was consid-
ared at mass meeting of taxpayers
last night.
The proposal was first pre- ented
by the committee Wednesday to the
Board of Supervisors sitting as a
board of equalization. The board
will end it's annual ten-day session!
today and by 5 o'clock this after
noon will either accept or reject the
proposal.
If the 80 percent cut t. made it
will mean a reduction Of approx
imately $2,000.O00 in the assessed
valuation of Nogales and tax rate
of around $1,000 per 500 assessed
valuation for local taxpayers. The
present tax rate is S6.72. When the
assessed valuation is reduced the
rate goes up and when it is increas-
ed the rate goes down.
1t is believed that if the assessed
valuation is reduced holders Of the
city bonds will be willing to come in
and agree to the city'5 plan for re-
financing the bonds. The cut in
valuation, and higher tax rate
would mean taxpayers would pay
about the same amount of taxes
they are now paying.
If any cut in assessed Valuation,
is made some persons favor thai
the cut be extended to all classes o.
property throughout the county.

NO RODEO AT
CIRCLE Z ON
JULY FOURTH

The drought has brought about
cancellation of the annual 1884 mid
summer rodeo at Circle z Ranch
"On account of the poor condi-
ton of roping stock and the diff
Guilty there would be in getting suit
able animals for the various events
there will be no rodeO at Circle z
on July 4th', it was announced
Wednesday by Lee Zinameister,
owner of the famous guest ranch
Because of the drought placing
the range in poor condition the live
stock supply has been reduced in
this county and many Of the re-
manning animals are too weak to
take part in rodeo events, ZinS-
meister said.
This will be the fir.t July 4th in
eight years that rodeo has not
been held at Circle z. For second
consecutive years it has been the
outstanding annual event in Santa
Cruz county and previous to 1925
it was held each year for six or
seven years al Patagonia. 1t was
to this county what the annual
mardi gras is tc New Orleans, and
residents in general throughout the
county will regret to learn there
will be no rodeo this year.
