Lee May Not
Be Candidate

Jerrie w. Lee will make a decision
in the next few days on whether to
enter the Republican gubernatorial
primary. Strong, appeals have been
made to him to run again-Some CT
the pleaders, Lee says, being Demo
Gratis. It would be his third bid for
the governorship.
In 1910, Lee made strong cam
paign, winning the COP. nomina-
ton and polling more than $4,000
votes in the general election against
Governor Osborn, his Democratic
opponent. In fact, he received
more votes in 40 than any other
Republican in history, he declares.
If Lee doesn't run, there are indi-
cations there will be a vacancy in
the gubernatorial column on the
Republican primary ballot. Efforts
to interest Henry Boice in the race
have failed. GOP.-ers would like
to make a showing this year, think
inc 1914 will return them to the
victory column in Arizona. (PhoeniX

lures at $113,170 and for the year
1912 $1O1,066 Actual levy last year
was $76, 1924 and we're estimating
the levy for 1912 at $70,8O9," Su-
pervlscr Escaiada said.
Estimated receipts last year
from outside sources was 1000
and for the new year are being esti-
mated at $4,000 Notwithstanding
that we are still going to have a
reduction in taxes and if the re-
ceipts could have been estimated at
27,000 for 1942 the rate would be
around &c.," said Escalada.
Auto lieu tax and sale of county
property were given as the main
reasons for the reduction in antici-
pated revenue from outside sources
According to Escalada, R. T. Fra
zier and A. B. Gid Sorrells, mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors,
the lower tax rate for 1912 is due
to the following: 1.-The county is
beginning to feel the effect of the
bond refunding program of three
years ago. 2-Busipess management
and scrutinizing Of all county ex-
penses.
A lower city tax rate is due
largely to a program of strict econ
omy being practiced by the munich
pal governing body. They. too, are
closely scrutinizing all expenses.

After being assured of its
usual appropriation from both
the city and county, indications
are that the Santa Cruz County
Chamber of Commerce will be
able to continue it's active pro-
gram of civic betterment.
While very few merchants may
cut their appropriations to the
chamber because of great loss of
business it appears that most firms
will continue to support the organi-
zation as they have in the past. In
addition there exists number Of
new establishments on the border
which should take out memberships.
Several days ago it appeared that
the city might cut its appropriation
but this danger was eliminated
when large numbers of local citizens
protested vigorously.
Several weeks ago it was suggest
ON az q 4AlCC01AlS VI tI1C C11o111OC1
that the chamber voluntarily ask for
a fifty percent reduction in appro-
priations from both the city and
county. This proposal was firmly
rejected, however, as no other per-
son present at the meeting (other
than the one who made the sugges-
tom supported the plan.
The matter was again discussed
at the regular quarterly member
ship meeting of the chamber the
night of July g. The membership
voted almost unanimously to ask for
full appropriations.
The city budget committee had
slashed several hundred dollars
from its appropriation for the
chamber of commerce but this
amount was restored after the bud
get committee met with number
of business men in the council
chamber last Friday who insisted on
a full allotment.
The council unanimously approx
ed a budget carrying the regular
$1,000 appropriation on Monday
