PUTS THEORY TO TEST
Prescott, Ariz., the Only Single Tax
CommuuitY in the World

William o. O'Neill, major general of
the Arizona military forces and mayor
of Prescott, Ari., the only single tax
community in the world, is in New York.
General O'Neill was first impressed
with the George single tax theory
through his experience with the obsta-
cles to Arizona's development caused by
the lodgment of vast tracts of land in
the hands of a few men who would not
cultivate it, but waited for more enter
prising men to improve surrounding
lands For that reason General O'Neill
is a single tax man and mayor of Pres
colt, and what he says goes.
Last January he informed Prescott
that it was going to be a single tax city
and now it is. The single tax law has
now been in operation for four months
General O'Neill says that it is working
satisfactorily. He added:
The charter provides that taxes must
be levied upon property values. We get
around this provision by imposing taxes
based partly on rent value and partly
upon market value. To let none escape,
the least tax that can be imposed upon
a lot is So. Our personal property taxes
were levied largely through taxes upon
all sorts of business and industries
These are now done away with almost
entirely, the exceptions being gambling
and liquor selling.
Business men, manufacturers and
their employees are all pleased. One tax
is now paid instead of four, and if a
workingman does not soon have home
it will be the fault of his lack of indus
try and thrift. New York special to

Mr.. Robert Buchanan a cheerful little

nq discovered, but marries the woman

II &orant of his crime. For long time
fiAy live happily. But her son gets on
the track of the truth. gradually accum-
ulates proof, finally taxes his stepfathar

this evening. Tomorrow night the new
bill will be Milton Mobiles famous drama.
From Sire to Son." For the latter half
of the week that fresh, breezy play of
Southern life, "a Kentucky Girl" will
be presented. Up-to-date specialties and
musical selections are introduced night
ly
On Monday Manager J. C. Fisher of
San Diego, who has secured an interest
with Manager Pearson, will take hold
of the theater placing the business man
agement in the hands of Mr.. Ed. Mans
field, who has host of friends in this
city. For years Mr.. Mansfield was the
popular treasurer of the Grand Opera
house here.
ORPHEUM. - advance Announce
ment) In addition to the extraordinar-
lily fine bill presented at this house the
past week there will be two leading
vaudeville numbers added. Servais Le-
roy, the magician and illusionist, is
one. Mr.. Leroy takes first rank with
the magicians OF Europe. He made his
American debut at the San Francisco
Orpheum five week ago, and that he has
been kept there for so long a time is Il
SUFFICIENT guarantee that he is brilliant
entertainer. Mr.. Leroy Is strictly a
master of legerdemain and is not a copy
ist of others in the same line, all his tricks
and illusions being original with him.
The San Francisco press unite in saying
he is the equal Of Kellar and better than
Hermann.
Miss Ola Hayden, the only contra
tenor vocalist who it may be remem-
bered sang one evening some two months
ago. is another leading feature of the
new bill. Miss Hayden has entirely re-
covered from her serious illness and will
finish the engagement she so well began
She will sing some new songs written es-
pecially for her by her father, Joe
Hayden, who is the composer of "A Hot
Time in the Old Town." The Vesuviano
quartet will be heard one week longer
in new operate selections. Czita, the
pleasing and talented violinist, will in
troduce some Hungarian melodies. Prof
Gallando will model new faces, and prob
ably local celebrity. Morris ponies
will exhibit their wonderful teachings
and the famous six Picchianis sisters will
give their wonderful acrobatic perform
ance.
The usual Wednesday, Saturday and
Sunday matinees will prevail.

Charles Emerson Cook, author of '"The

hearsal.
Charles Eugene Banks and George K.
Cooks new play, Hampton Roads" q"
was successfully produced recently at
Davenport, Iowa, by amateurs.

is based upon the life of the historic duke
before his wedding with Sarah Jennings
Dramatic Mirror.
Dean Farrars book Darkness and
Dawn is to be dramatized with the
consent OF the author If the play ever
reaches the footlights the dean is likely
to be the subject of remarks from some
of his brethren.
"Santee," Octavius Cohen's four-act
southern comedy-drama, will be pro-
duced next month by the Brooklyn Park
Theater Stock company. 1.-THE Waif OF
Seftor," three-act Elizabethan drama,
by Mr.. Cohen, will be produced on the
road next month by Manager Earl Bur-
CESS.
"The Little Minister" has passed the
first century mark at the Garriek, and
is fairly started on the way to the sec
ond. The enthusiasm of Miss Adams
admirers shows no symptoms of flag
ging.
"The Fly on the Wheel" play of
which the scene is laid in India has been
written by. Mr.. Murray Carson and MAJ,
Beerbohm, and will be produced at q
London, theater as. "soon as circum-
stances. permit" There are few char
acters in the play, which is of humor-
Gus and sentimental nature.
The general critical opinion about Mr..
Louis N. Parker's play, 1.-The Happy
Life" which is said to be enjoying great
prosperity at the Duke of York's theater
in London, seems to be that it opens un-
commonly well, but proceeds upon sup
position that is wholly preposterous,
falls to pieces rather in the middle, and
ends conventionally. The story, in a
word, is of a young man., who is shut
up by accident in his chambers with
a young girl, perfect stranger to him,
feels bound to marry her in haste "to
save her reputation" (Which no one as
saileO, -epents at leisure. ultimately
falls in love with her in dead earnest,
and lives happily ever afterwards.

TO leave no chance open for the negro to
get the better Of him.

pace, and frequently lost it during the
contest, while MchaePs every movement
yGs as perfect as clock-work.
No records were equalled during the
