Auto Lieu Tax
Constitutional

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Sept. 29-CUP)
-Arizona's new automobile lieu tax
was declared constitutional in a
Yavapai county superior court opil-
ion on file here.
Superior Judge Richard Lamson
sustained a demurrer filed by Coun-
ty Attorney Charles Ewing to the
suit attacking the tax as filed by
the Yavapai County Taxpayers AS
sociation
The Association charged the lieu
tax was an ad valorem assessment
and was thereby a violation OF the
uniformity provisions of the state
constitution.
Ewing in his demurrer asserted
the lieu tax was an excise levy and
not an ad valorem assessment. This
view Was upheld by the court
The lieu tax currently is under
attack in the Cochise County Su-
perior courts where Bisbee and
Douglas school officials are seek
ing to have it declared unconstitu-
tional.

later was to become the 48th state

Abraham Lincoln then was Presl-

appointed John N. Goodwin as gov

Goodwin stood before the territorial
legislature and spoke of the work
to be done and the responsibility of
the delegates to the people they
represented.
Until Nov 10 of that year-1864-
the delegates remained in session at
the first territorial legislature, form
ing legal codes and seeking to put
some semblance of order in the
sprawling ranges known as the ter
Titory of Arizona.
Tucson then was Arizona'S great
center but the legislature feared to
meet there because of secession

The things that took place in that
first territorial legislature remain

NO HAY FEVER IN KEY WEST

Rex Tugwell, once leading member
of President Roosevelt's Brain Trust and
former Resettement administrator, is
spending the month of September in Key
West He has leased the home of General
and Mrs. Frank Andrews in the Martello
Tower section where he can enjoy the
salty breezes blowing in off the Atlantic.
What was Mr.. TugwelPs principal
reason for coming to Key West. in Septem-
Der? victim of hay fever, Mr. Tugwell
was in utter misery in his northern en-
vironment Hay fever may be funny to
some folks, but the victims suffer the tor
lures of the damned The affliction is
often mixed up with asthma, which in it
self is very unpleasant and wearying. Mr..
Tugwell was smarter than some victims of
the malady. He looked around for spot
where the air is free of rag weed and other
pollen which aggravates if it does not
create the hay fever condition. Somehow
ne learned that at Key West the atmos-
pheric conditions were ideal and here
he is
The lesson to be drawn from this?
Simply that the absence OF pOllen mere
should be advertised. Not only is the air
free of these pollens, but it is dry and
salty and filled with sunshine. The hay
fever sufferer gets immediate relief in
Key West. Up north August and Septem-
Der are the worst months for hay fever
victims There is nothing contagious
about the disease, so that attracting such
sufferers to Key West would not be invit-
ing trouble for our own citizens.
August and September are among the
slowest business months of the year in Key
West The summer vacationists by Labor
Day have returned to their jobs. Tourists
have not started down from the north to
dodge the cold weather. Business is in the
doldrums here during that in-between
period.
When the city gets around to the es-
tablshment of proper advertising and
publicity bureau, the idea of bringing hay
fever victims to Key West would be worth
some thought and action. Hay fever VIC
tins who have money will go to the ends
of the earth to escape their annual travail
with misery. Having money they can at
ford to come to Key West just as well as
any other place. Let's bring them here
and enjoy their largess while they are en-
Toying peace and comfort in our sunny
climate and pollen-free air.

ONE SURPRISE OF THE WAR

One surprise of the war has been the
failure of Germany to attempt any mass
bombing attack upon large British and
French cities.
Before hostilities began, it was taken
for granted that the mighty air arm of Ger
many would be used to blast the populous
areas of enemy countries. This has not
happened except in Poland where German
planes have wreaked destruction in cities
of little military Importance.
1t may be reasoned that Hitler's pres
ent scheme is to whip Poland, take what
he wants in the East and attempt to Sc
cure peace in the West. In order to facili-
tate this manoeuver. he does not wish, at
this time, to intensity the feeling of the
British and French against Germany.
1t has been suggested that the reason
may lie in the rapidly expanded air force
of Great Britain. Certainly, when the
fighting began the British were not as
fearful of aerial punishment as they were
last Fall Maybe, Hitler and his aides
know that, in the long run, the British and
French will outbuild the German air fleet
and, as a safety matter, he does not wish
to inaugurate indiscriminate bor1blngs
that will cause intensive retaliation.

TIE ISLAND CITY


column and the last column well
give you impression of Catalina
Island and High Sierra trout
fishing. The mike, which is on
long steel pole above the ac-
tors heads, carries its electric
current of voice waves back TO a
sort of photoelectric affair. This
makes the sound track, which is
nothing more nor less than a
series of horizontal light mark
ings corresponding with the
electric waves sent from the
mike. In projecting this sound
track and photo track, both of
which are synchronized, the
photoelectric cell is again used.
Light is played through the track
on the, cell. This photoelectric
cell is composed partly of a tele-
graphic, magnet and combines
other telephone principles. Thus
light on the photoelectric cell
starts it working according to the
sound track. Vibrations thus set
up. which correspond to the hui
man voice or other sounds, are
then sent through a loudspeaker
behind the stage and thus sound
movies get to the audience.

FREE SPEECH-LIMITED

Americans boast of free speech but,
very often, it only means that they adj
vocate freedom of speech for those who
agree with them. s1
This is illustrated, it seems, by the re-
cent occurrence in San Antonio. Texas,
where mob of some 5000 citizens broke
up small meeting of Communists in the
city hail. The presence of 200 policemen
was insufficient to permit a little free
speech.
1t might as well be understood that
Communism, however wrong it may be, IS
not strong enough in the United States to
injure the people of this nation nearly as
much as the suppression of their liberties.
When mobs or officials can break up a
meeting, authorized by law, the law is use
less. So is the freedom that it guarantees.
