Arizona Assessors Face Many Problems This Year Phoenix, Jan. 26. How to make Arizona's income and outgo balance without boosting taxes to a painful altitude is affording state officials and county asses sors much concern, as tvas brought out at a meeting of the state tax commission and the county asses sors here just after the new state administration took office. The three great industries of Arizona, mining, agriculture and livestock raising, from which Ari zona has derived most of its tax revenues, have been suffering ex treme depression. Other indus tries and businesses have also suffered in the general readjust ment. Assessors, having been warned against reducing assess ments on any class of property and thereby placing heavier bur dens on the rest, are nevertheless faced with what appears to them the fact that many industrial holdings are worth less than last year, and therefore, will make strong bids for reduction of as sessmen ts. If general reductions were granted, the tax rate would have to be raised correspondingly or the state expenses reduced far below the 1920 fignre. State officials already have been pondering over the 1921 budget and triming it down. They con sider they have pruned it about as severely as possible, but the total is understood to be well over $4,000,000; in fact, to be larger than 1920 figures. Chamberlain's Tablets For In digestion and Constipation "The nicest and pleasantest medicine I have used for indiges tion and constipation is Chamber lain's Tablets," writes Melard F. Craig, Middle Grove, N. Y. They work like a charm and do not grip or leave any unpleasant effect, Adv, ON THE SKY LINE. (By Don Marius) One liying at an altitude of eight thousand feet should be able to free the mind of the sordid cares of life and let it play among the stars. Our visions and dreams tinged with the mystic things of the yet unknowable lead us far. and wide, until the demands of the stomach or a drop in the temperature brings us up with a jolt. But, after all, what is more wonderful than, the process of digestion, by which our food is transmitted into rich red blood and sent coursing to the brain to enable us to renew its flights above the sky line. Only a very short time ago we knew as little about our circula tion and digestion as we do today about the cranberry crop on Mars. However, yiewed from the sky line, things look encouraging. A goodly portion of mankind has thrown off the "Old man of the sea", has crawled from under the incubus of the triple demands, fear and dread and superstition and are giving rein to the mind in its search for the infinite. God ties no strings to a man's mind as long as he uses it to his own good and to the advancement of his fellow man. We use the word 'God' in a re latiVe sense, for if we look up the etymology of the word we will find it derived from 'good.' We have personified the principle "good" and called it God. So we use the expressions, "Mother Nature,7' "The Great Creative Fprce" and God inter changeably, all meaning the same thing. Why split hairs over ,a name? It is well once in a while to for get the petty cares, 1hat would engulf us if we let them, and take an inventory of our mental, yea spiritual, store house. Again, it is well enough to bear in mind that we can not place a dollai and cent estimate on our mental equipment. No man with a liberal educa cation would exchange it for the world's gold. A wise man proyides for the future but.if in doing so he neg fects his mind and his soul he be comes a pauper indeed. Every human being is entitled to sufficient food, clothing and shelter provided he has exercised due diligence to secure them. There is no.excuse tor a slacker even in times of peace. But the man'who piles up wealth by exploiting his neighbor is a thief. Be may not violate any statute law but he does violate a divine law and thus makes of himself a spiritual pauper thb he rolls in wealth. Everyone is familiar with the habits of the honey bee. With due diligence they gather their store while the getting is good. Bees have been known to rob an other hive but only when starva tion became positive. Starvation was made positive by a famine of flowers. Hence man, if by due diligence and no fault of his own, should have to face the menace of star vation, then and then only would he be justified in demanding re lief of his more fortunate neigh bor. This is the only case in which any man has any right to any thing he does not earn. A dollar in our possession not honestly earned belongs to some one else. The real philosophy of life de mands that we shall not only con sider but respect the rights of our brother in all our acts. We are approaching a new era, a social readjustment and the Goldan Rule is still a living burn ing issue. They Appeal to Our Sympathy The biiious and dispeptic are constant sufferers and appeal to our sympathies. Many such, however, have been completely restored to health by the use of Chamberlain's Tablets. These tablets strengthen the stomach, invigorate the liver and improve the digestion. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. When you have any trouble , with your stomach, give them a trial.
