5000 Measure
Would Wreck
State Says Sharpe

Adoption Of the go dollars at go
amendment would wreck business
in Arizona, according to Frank
Sharpe of Douglas, member Of
the state legislature from Cochise
county, who addressed rally here
Wednesday night.
He urged every voter to vote "no"
on the measure, which he said, is in
reality a gross transaction tax and
which will appear on the ballot for
the general election Nov. 7th.
Every transaction-every exchange
of money for merchandise, services
or credit, would be taxed go or as
much more as the Tax Commission
ruled necessary, he declared, and
added it would be tax on TAX ON
TAX.
Cost of administering such law
would be between thirty and thirty
seven million dollars a year, Sharpe
said, and added it would close up
many small businesses and drive
others from the state, small mines
would vanish, and it would other
wise dry up sources of employment
in this state.
Sharpe declared that under the
proposed law there is no limit to
the tax rate, the tax would be levied
on gross income and not net in
come, and capacity to pay which is
the only true and fair basis upon
which to levy an income tax, is
completely ignored.
In the last analysis, he said, the
wage and salary Garner is the one
who would pay most OF the bill
1.-THE taxes which would be passed
on by the producer, the wholesaler
and the retailer, WOULD BE IN
THE PRICE STRUCTURE" he de-
clared.
Passage of the measure, he said,
would result in an influx OF popula-
ton consisting of the middle-aged
group and over, who would compete
for employment which properly be-
longs to Arizona citizens both young
and old, and it would bring loss OF
local business to out-of-state mail
order houses, he said.

Game Two Weeks Ago

watching for.
The Apaches have been resting up
over the weekend since they had no
game last Friday and by now all
kinks received from the Bisbee bat
tie two weeks ago are ironed out.
The last two weeks of practice has
been devoted mainly to the strength
ening of the locals defenses and
also smoothing out offensive play
which showed up as a great threat
against Bisbee.
The recent loss of Henry Herman
dez has hit the Apaches hard but
the replacement of George Grove
has smoothed out the line again.
Ernie Valencia, who suffered a
dislocated shoulder, may break into
the lineup again. He was injured
at the beginning of the season and
he may get the call for little ac-
ton tomorrow. Beazley had a little
trouble finding another back to
team up with Pottinger, Lopez, and
Titcomb that would make as good a
combination as with Valencia.
Ramirez, Chatham, Cruz, Smith,
Stoller, Puchi, Grove, Peltier and
Escalante will again be called upon
to stiffen up the line.
Casa Grande beat Amphitheatre
60, Amphitheatre beat Tombstone
1870, and Tombstone beat Nogales
20-13, so by statistics the Cougars
are favored over the Nogales eleven.

~. NJ &AAA wi 20
Dear Bob:
Well, your old man and I got to
talking the other night--that is,
your pop got to talking. He got
gabbing about you, then Pete Itule
butted in. You know, Bob, I read
all the newspapers and magazines
but I didn't know until the other
night that you are winning the war
all by yourself in Europe, and Pete's
kid, Lieut.. Jimmy Itule, is winning
it in the Pacific.
What the hell is the use of Uncle
Sam keeping Eisenhower and Mac
Arthur over there when you guys
are doing it all by yourselves. Why
your old man and Pete Itule kept
gabbing so much couldn't set a
word in edge-ways about my grand
son.
Yep, the kid is one year and half
old, and on the home front he is
far ahead of production as far as
didies are concerned. You heard
about Dieppe over there. Well, he
is leading the invasion over here on
Diaperville.
Not much new here, except the
other day I went into the First Ma
tional Bank. I have had a note in
there for $19 for the last three years
and I went in for renewal.
Mr.. Barbee sez to me, mo more
renewals. The back of that note
looks like Judge Hardy's diary with
all those dates on it,
After about one hour with Mr..
Barbee finally lost my patience
and sez, ''You know, think from
the way you talk, Mr.. Barbee, you
don't care to renew my note"
He sez, you catch on but not
quick"
"Well,'' sez, IT think that's a
hell of a note"
And he sez, That's what have
begun to think
Best regards,
MARTY.

Don't Turn The Country Over To A
Horde OF Braying Wall St. Jackasses!

Voters before going to the polls week from
Tuesday, recall the record of the Republican admins
trations of the Harding Coolidge Hoover immedl
ately prior to the first term presidency of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, a period in which insidious
horde of Wall Street shyster politicians plundered
this country to the bone.
In that period the voters deluded by the
howlings of these political iacals and prostituted
press into selling their birthright for mess of pot
tage.
This gangster-led political machine, operating on
the same old grabt-a basis that they have operated
on in all of the 48 states during every Republican
administration since the days of Woodrow Wilson,
brought the people of this country to the verge of
starvation and had not been for the foresight and
leadership Of that great humanitarian and statesman
Franklin D. Roosevelt this country in all probability
would now be in the troes of revolution crlngng
vassal of Germany.
At this time these conniving Eastern shvsters
are centering their Infamous attacks upon our Presi
dent the man who brought end to bank failures in
this country the man that fed unemployed during
the seven year depression they created under the
Harding -COolidge-Hoover administrations, the man
that established old age assistance and social security
and made loans available to people, improved
conditions for workers and brought about high
er standard of living to all of than we had ever
known, the man that has made country great,
power among the nations of the earth, now once more
respected the wide world over.
The last three Republican administrations
gineered the 1929 stock market crash that wiped out
the life savings of millions. They brought about the
most widespread and calamitOuS depression OF all
time They turned more than twenty million Of our
workers into the streets to starve beg or steal.
Millions became hungry and homeless.
They denuded our forests, appropriated our oil
and mineral lands, pauperZed railroads, closed
our factories crushed merchants broke our banks
by the thousands and through high taxes robbed our
people of their farms and homes from end of this
country to the other.
Suicides in numbers never before equaled follow
ed as the natural consequence Of the crimes commit
ted by these political shysters under the Harding
Coolidge-Hoover Republican administrations. Such
is but small part Of their crime record
Their poisonous fangs once sank deep into our
moral spiritual, educational, industrial, economic
and social life They became blight and curse
among this nation that has taken years under the
leadership of President Roosevelt to eradicate. Now
with brazen effrontery they seek to stage comeback
in tine most critical period in national history
1t was these same Wall Street gangsters that
wrecked the plans Of Woodrow Wilson for better

Rome, Oct. 9 - (UP) -- British troops, pushing out north and east of liberated Athens, have occupied Evvoia Island, largest of the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea, c com munique disclosed today.
 Headquarters said the Germans had abandoned Evvoia, which is about li6 miles long and 8 miles across at its widest point, before the arrival of the British. Military spokesrnen also said British units were advancing toward Lamia, 90 miles north-northwest of Athens and l20 miles south of Salonika, over heavily-mined roads. There was no indication that any German troops had remained behind to delay the British advance.
 At the same time, Athens dis- patches said the Germans have been cleared from the entire Cyvlades Is- land chain southeast of Evvoia and the Greek mainland. Guerrilla forces were said to have seized An- dros Island, while the Germans evacuated their garrisons fir m neighhboring syros and Tenos Is- land in the Cyclades.
 Cairo broadcasts also reported the Allied liberation of Lemnos Island, in the mortimer Aegean, just west of the entrance to the Dardanelles. About 400 German prisoners were captured on the island after @ brief, bitter fight, Cairo said.

 Aboard Dewey Campaign Train, Oct, 2S,-(UP)--Gov. Thomas E, Dewey headed westward today to make two major campaign speech es and Q strong bid for the 52 elec- toral votes of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois in the November elec- ton.
 The Republican presidential cam dldate is scheduled to speak at Minneapolis Tuesday night, stop in Milwaukee for three hours Wednes- day afternoon and speak again in Chicago that night,

 As the schedule stood upon de- parture from the New York state capitol, Dewey's special train was due to return to Albany directly from Chicago arriving Thursday af- ternoon.
