WE are informed that the Pima
schools have closed for good, only
five months having been taught.
Why this course has been taken is
not appea ant. The district will
have money left over which it will

tanned IL each district before any
funds can be expended for any
thing else. If the money is KEEP
until next year it cannot be used
The people pay taxes for the edu
cation of their children; the Law
was made to give them the creates
benefit possible. Even a term o
six mouths school is too shott; i
is fur better to teach eight. Th'
warm weather has not yet com
mcnced and IT seems to rs that th'
wise course, for the benefit of thu
children, would be to reopen tn,

ONE of our exchanges says that
Graham and Pinal counties are
publishing the delinquent tax
list as of old, for fear the present
law is not good. This is a mistake.
Neither county is doing anything
of the kind, but it is our opinion
that had it been done it would
prove great saving to the county,
as well as to individuals, in the
long run.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

II is sometimes asked why taxes
are so high in Arizona. There Is
ona cause which was brought
forcibly to our notice the other day
at Wilcox, cause wh'cp
the supervisors should remedy II
possible. We were informed by
a reliabis person that the Eureka
Springs Cattle company have SOLO
Ali their cattle, amounting to Sooo
head; another person said the
number WIS 10000. The assess
ment roll of Graham county shows
that this company paid in 1897 on
s7OO head of cattle. fit is true
that they have contracted 5000 OF
10000 head, and there is no reason
10 doubt it, what is the duty ofthe
supervisorsf We believe they
should compel that company to pay
its tax, not a fourth of it, but the
full amount.
There are large cattle companies
in the county willing to pay a just
tax if their neighbors do likewise
but not so long as there is only
one forth tax paid. We believ'
in dealing fair by the stockmen
but for them to escape with a on'
forth tax while the farmer pay
ON his all, is unjust and should no
be tolerated.
We know the difficulties tn
BOARD has to contend with in as
certaining facts on which to bas
raises. We know mon talk Q
these things TO their neighbors, bu
refuse to testify to them before tn
Board. But in this case the fact
can be easily ascertained, whic
will give the Board a foun datio
to work from, which will ais
prove of great benefit to the Al
SCISSOR.
Ii every rich company in tn
county was compelled to pay {
much, comparatively, as the fello
with small farm, our tax woul
not be much more than one ha
what il is now.

WOODS TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Proclamation Defining the Govern
ment of Santiago.

Santiago, Oct H.-Gen. Leonard Wood,
military governor pro tempore of the de-
partment of Santiago, to-day issued a
proclamation in ten sections, which is a

pendence.

pie the right of assembly for the com non
good and to apply to those In power by
petition or remonstrance for the redress
of grievances.
The second section guarantees the right

ference with any existing form of wor-
ship.
The third section directs that courts OF
justice shall be open to all and that no
private property shall be taken by the
government without compensation.
The fourth section, dealing with Grim
inal trials, invests the accused with The
right to be heard himself or by counsel
and to have compulsory process to secure
the attendance of a witness in his be
half.
The fifth section says no person accused
of crime shall be compelled to give evil
dence against himself.
The sixth section declares that no such
person who is once acquitted of the charge
brought against him shall be tried again
for the same offense.
The seventh section provides that all
persons charged with crime shall be en-
titled to bail, except in cases of capital
offense, and that the writ of habeas cor
pus may not be suspended, except when
the commanding general of the depart
ment deems it advisable.
The eighth section says that excessive
bail shall not be required and that no ex-
cessive fine, or cruel or unusual punish
ment shall be inflicted.
The ninth section provides that in or

able search, there shall first be estab-
lished un6er oath a presumption of guilt

Paris. Oct 21.-The joint session of the

written arguments put forward by the
Spaniards for the purpose of prevailing
upon the American commissioners to as

SO far there have been seven joint ses-
sions, four of which have been devoted
to the discussion of the first article of the
protocol In this manner two weeks have
passed and no result has been reached.
The American commissioners have listened
TO all the arguments of the Spaniards, but
they have not changed the position which
they first assumed, in refusing to take
over the cuban debt
An effort is being made here to create
the impression that there is some under

Washington, Oct. 21-It is not certain
that the complete evacuation of Cuba will

fixed by the administration This will
follow without reference to anything that
has occurred in Paris before the peace

The war department has about satisfied
itself that the task imposed upon the
Spanish authorities. namely, the removal
and transportation to a great distance by
sea of about 10000 soldiers, sick and well,
with their accoutrements, was beyond the
ability of the Spaniards

the fact that the great transatlantic

the American military commission Is in
any sense abatlng the pressure it has
brought to bear upon the Spanish military
commissioners to secure the evacuation OF
the island and the REIMBURSEMENT OF
Spanish sovereignty. On the contrary, the
commissioners have redoubled their eff
forts to secure their objects, but are NOT
disposed to insist upon the performance
of impossible tasks and their demands will
be largely shaped by their knowledge that
the Spaniards are acting in perfect good
faith in their efforts TO carry out the
