Present Tax Levy in int placed by the
Pima County. PROVO. ed CunztitGtiCn.

"Nhich would make our taxes under
the state Il cents hlguer Than they are
at present"
When the district No. levy OF 10 cts.
was put on the left hand side, why was
not the city levy of 81 also included?
Will they not both be levied under the
state constitution? 1 hen why not put
the 40 cents item on the right hand side
also. or leave it cut altogether. like the
city levy, as it ought to De: This dis
trict tax that the people of Tucson dis-
trIct alone pay is for our Military plaza
school house and We have bsen paying
it, at the rate Ct 10 per cent. of the val
uation OF that school house or 54UUU for
the past eight years and We will con-
tinuo to pay for two more years before
owning said school whether state or a
territory exists. This error alone will
change his figures of 'I2 cents higher"
to read 80 cents higher" Is that then
a reduction IN taxation:
Again, taking the experts figures, we
are told that the expenses of running
our present goverumen is 9l1S,2JO per
year, ''to which may be added $4,000
estimated as the increased expenses
under 2 state, making 81 $50 Now
tax of 70 cents per 500 on twenty eight
millions would give us S2l2SOO, thereby
leaving an apparent surplus of $3.50.
1t will be seen the figures work out the
positive result that under this constitu-
ton, with $4,000, additional expense,
unpaid by the federal government, the
territory will save S4.550!"
In other words, whatever we raise by
taxation in excess of our needs is money
saved!
Such n coup d. etat is more ingenious
than convincing.
These half truths won't do. Why not
admit that the constitution is faulty?
Why hire lawyers to cover the dark
spots and with "g!ittering generaiities"
tell US that this constitution Is as In
nOcent. and as pure and irmacul ate a
the stars above?
When maiden is about to eater the
conjugal state shall the faults OF her
prospective husband be SYSTEMATICALLY
whltewashed or ignored: lf some un-
happy friend remarks t7at the bride
groom is already married shall We in the
language of Mr.. Collins say that II is
ungenerous on such happy occasion TO
mention Mormonism!
Ought We to barter away the rights
and privileges to force statehood by
few ysals? Will that conservative body
of men, the United States Senate, think
wise of people who reject statehood be
cause of bad constitution, CT % those
who are for statehood with any
constitution or who are willing to take
the chances of having the constitution
knocked out by other votes than their
own?

morning.
That hour found them on the railroad
track. They were a walking and talk
struck & terrific blow back OF the ear by
Gomez fist. It KNOCKED him down.
The next he saw was the g:cam OF big
knife in the hands OF hic companion and
he next heard demand that bis watch
and money be handed over. Naturally
be complied with the demand. The
watch was valued at $3.50 and
the money amounted % 81. Gomez
went eff in the darkness and ne returned
FIR officers.
In two hours Gomez was in Jail. He
was found by Marshal eOche, standing
outdoors enjoying the early morning air.
He saw tie officer when within $50 yards
of him and at once ran. Roche pursued
him. He saw Gomez dodge lnto a con
venient arroyo and was soon within fifty
yards Of him. Then he called to Com

Gomez stopped. I'seD he ordered Com

GOMEZ CRIMINAL CAREER.
About four years ago an old man
named Wheaton living Cd the San Ped
70 vas confronted by five men, Gomez
among them, and asked to at once
give them 5 800 thought 10 be in his
Pcssession-he having sold Some hogs
just previously.
To enforce the demand they put a
rope about his neck anG drew him up
several times. The result was that they
obtained about $50. One of tho party.
Lebrado Pueblo, was in favor Of drop
ping Wheaton into Il well on the theory
that dead men tell no tales, but he was
left alive.
Wheaton told his tale. As the result
they were pursued, and overtaken 10y
officers, Marshal Roche among others, at
Coyote Wel!s,cne CT them being KILLED by
Roche in attempting 20 escape.
OF course Gomez stopped yesterday
when Roche drew his revolver on HIM.
The rest OF the party were sent TO
Yuma for FIVE years.
About four years ago when Thos. Gates
was warden al attempt was made 10
break from prison by convicts, LebardO
Pueblo being an active participant, hav-
ing stabbed Gates.
Whatever MS motive Gomez took an
active part IN the rescue OF Gates and
the prevention of the delivery, Gates
was naturally grateful and not long ago
pardon was obtained for Gomez.
He viii probably have another term
awarded him, and with poor prospects Ok
any pardon.
