Tax Exempt Homes Initiative Act
Receives Additional Imuetus
AT Phoenix

PHOENIX, Sept. 27-The Tax
Exempt Homes Initiative Measure
received additional impetus today
when Melvin G. Reese, Phoenix in
surance executive, announced that
he yielded to pressure of friends
of the movement and had formed
the Arizona Tax Revision League
to aid the amendment progress.
Scheduled for appearance on the
ballot on November eighth, the
measure which has aroused con-
siderable interest throughout the
state provides for the exemption
from taxation of owner occupied
homes up to g. five thousand dol
lar valuation. At its filing in the
office of the Secretary of State,
Governor R. C. Stanford expressed
himself in a radio broadcast as be-
ing in favor of the movement and
Reese himself declared that over
thirty three thousand voters had
signified their belief in the measure
by signing the petitions for its
presentation to the electorate The
measure is being attacked by sew
eral groups among which are the
Arizona Wool Growers, the Hotel
Mems Association, and by Walter
Thalheimer and George Luhrs of
Phoenix, and Jerrie Lee, Republi
can nominee for governor.
Expressing himself as complete
ly confident of the success of the
measure when placed before the
voters, Reese announced today "The
Arizona Tax Revision League is
non-commercial, is being incorpo-
rated under the non-profit laws of
this state and its aim is to present
the true picture of what Tax Free
Homes can and will mean to Ari
zona." He launched spirited at
tack on what he termed the "self

Bettwy became mayor in 1885. He
is widely known as one of Arizona S

approval of the public in general.

ton declaring that the positions
they hold do not entitle them to
attempt to force their personal
views on pupils or on the public
and announcing his belief that the
paid lobby which the organization
is conducting is in opposition to
the principles of sound education.
Incorporators of the Arizona Tax
Revision League are M. G. Reese,
Pres, Alfred S. Hanson, and Rob-
ert R. Weaver, all of Phoenix.
A firm believer in newspaper ad-
vertising as a force for the mold
ing of public opinion, Reese de-
clared today that newspapers as

ployed to tell Aizonans the story

"But now the girls are alone"

blunders are innumerable. Some

especially marked: Boston. New

All Under $50 ESQ Over
Aces IS a. a. IS

Many ask the question, (which is
the most dangerous age in driving
an automobile The chart above
gives the answer. 1t shows that be-
tween 1922 and 1884 inclusive the
rate Of death from automobile accf-
dents in the United States increased
107 per cent. Grouping all the ages
under Is shows that the rate of
death has decreased z per cent. If
the ages are grouped, however, by
each five years, the data developed
by the Travellers Insurance Com.
pany disclose that the only reduc-
tion has been in the group of five to
nine, where the rate of death has
decreased 26 per cent. Hats should
be off to this group and to the police
and teachers for the savings in life.
The really serious fact that this
chart brings out is the very great
percentage increase in the death
rate in the group between Is and "a
years of age. A part Of this age cor
responds to the high school group.
Such bad record gives emphasis to
the question whether high schools
everywhere shouldn't be providing
instruction In the safe use of the
