GRUNINGER & SON Phone Blue 175 Kingman, Arizona (Authorised Political Publicity) Kean St. Charles Doing His Bit TO OUR FRIENDS THE VOTERS: I worked five months before finding real capital to develop Red Gap. The bonders distribute $2000 monthly of new money in Mohave County. If I had remained idle in Kingman, as some folks think I should, this piece of money would not now be coming into Mohave County. These workers of Red Gap have set aside $100,000 to develop Red Gap and they have more, if necessary. I call that doing something to help out during this struggle. You may not like Kean St. Charles, but in fairness, I think you will ad mit that he is no slacker or quitter. Like the old Ro man, "he always does his best." Kean St. Charles has made mistakes he admits that but he has never been collared. To the best of his understanding, he has stood by the people and for the people and he always will. If you elect him, you may depend upon the very best service that he can give. The reason iam not with you now is that I am rustling capital for another mine. I hope to have it completed next week and then I will be with you for the hand-shake. If you like to boost a booster VOTE FOR KEAN ST. CHARLES (Authorized Political Publicity) SENATOR FRED T. COLTER DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR . GOVERNOR TO THE PUBLIC: BHBHHNi r - u JBHHflH A vote for iued T. Colter is a vote for a native of the state of Arizona, who by his own efforts, has risen from a day laborer to the position of a man who has accomplished big things in business and public life. He is one who knows what it is to work, who knows what the people need, and who has de voted hia life to producing the best there is in good government, advanced legislation and the development of Arizona's resources. The greatest effort of his politicariife has been to instill in the people their direct responsibility to the government, to awaken an ideal of citizen ship in which tiity realize that the government is actually theirs, and that the government 13 the direct result of their attitude, whether serious or in different. He claims that the tducational system of the country, from the primary grades up, muft embrace the study of the government and its political require ments. The cituen's attitude should be one of active participation in all the problems of the country's political life and come from a deep, , intelligent knowledge and study of our form of government. In fact, Americanization means, rather this attitude toward the politics of the country than merely a knowledge of the language and obedience to its laws. THE URGENT NECESSITY. OF THE WAR MAKES THIS INTER EST IN THE GOVERNMENT IMPERATIVE. This i3 the heart of Fred T. Colter's campaign, to rouse the people to the point of taking a serious, deep and active interest in political affairs, which will enable the United States to bring the war to a successful and speedy conclusion. He believes that real patriotism is not a spasmodic thing, but that aualitv in a man's chaiacter, which has always kept him true to himself, to his friends, to his principles and his country, which has made him ready at all times to sacrifice for the things which he holds to be true, especially wh.en his country is at war- This is a time when unselfishness is imperative. The man who thinks only of himself is at heart disloyal. All that Fred T. Colter has accomplished in legislation and private life is an exemplification of the high principles he stands for. It is to bring to the minds of the people of Arizona the seriousness of the war, and the necessity of their active and unselfish support of the govern ment, that Fred T. Colter offers himself as a candidate. A vote for Fred T. Colter is a vote for efficient, loyal and truly demo cratic government; for a man with a big.clean record in business and politi cal life. ONCE GENERAL TAX ON BEARDS In the reign of Elizabeth every beard of a fortnight's growth was sub ject to a tax. Peter the Great, in 1705, imposed a tax upon the beards of the Russian nobles of 100 rubles, while the common people's beard tax amounted' to one koper. This tax caused much dissatisfac- tipn, but in spite of this the impost was extended to St. Petersburg in 1714. The tax on beards was confirm ed by Catherine I in 1726, by Peter II in 1728, by Empdess Anne in 1731 and in 1743 by the Empress Elizabeth. It was repealed by Catherine II in 1762. In France a beard was imposed up on the clergy. The celebrated Daprat Lord High Chancellor of France, was the adviser of the measure, and a bill AWAITS HOOVERS RETURN FOOD ADMINISTRATION Food administration workers are awaiting with interest the return from Europe of Herbert Hoover, who upon his arrival, it is expected, will an nounce the new wheat conservation program.

Then a tax was levied by the king upon all who wished to be exempted from the harsh decree. The bishop and others who could afford the means paid the tax, but the poorer clergy were ob liged to yield at the point of the razor. (osborn ; " iitfyiASMKKnmPHk BB9HK -'.it , Bl -( '-'; BHBBB ..
