COLLECT DELINQUENT TAXES.

We are informed that about
seventy-fve persons are now on
the delinquent tax list, the amounts
for which they are delinquent ag-
gregating $4,000 to 100000.
Some of these have been delinquent
for years and absolutely refuse to
pay their taxes. Their property
has been sold to the Territory, but
this fact does not seem to disturb
them in the least and they continue
in possession and to enjoy their
property just the same as do those
who pay their taxes. AT the last
term of court suits were brought
against two individuals who were
delinquent, in the hope that the
result would be an object lesson to
the balance and they would pay
up. The suits had the effect of
collecting the taxes from the two
sued but from none of the others.
This state of affairs is absolutely
wrong, and unjust to the people Of
the county. We believe it to be
the duty of the Board of Super
visors to instruct the district at
torney to bring suit against each
individual whose taxes are de-
linquent and force them to an is
sue in the coming term of court.
If those who are delinquent do
not have to pay taxes and
still enjoy our schools and
all other advantages we receive
through taxation, and if there is
no law by which taxes can be
collected, it is time to know it,
so that we can all cease paying
taxes.
The number of delinquents is
increasing each year and unless
something is done to remedy this
evil no taxes will be paid at all.
A man who refuses to pay his
taxes should be dispossessed of the
property on which taxes are due.

hedged citizens, armed with the
ballot and able to count for as much
in the election of all manner Of
officials asan equal number Of men.
In most of the other States they
are only permitted to give their
reasons why women should vote.
In few they are permittnd to vote
for school officers, and in Pennsyl-
vania they can be elected to School
Boards if the men are gallant
enough to elect them. In Denver
the women have nominated a mu-
nicipal ticket composed of mem
bers of their own sex, and if the
womea stand solidly by their own
ticket it should win, because she
must be a woman without influence
who can't persuade at least one
man to vote her ticket. The result
of the Denver election will be
watched with not a little interest
as test of the real desire of wo.

A GOOD LAW.

One of the best laws ever made
by any Arizona Legislature was
passed by the 2lst. 1t was passed
as an amendment to that portion
of the Code known as the Revenue
bill. 1t provides that all persons,
firms and corporations must pay
their taxes before they can get a.
hearing in court.
This means that on the amount
assessed against any property and
finally fixed by the Board of
Equalization, the taxes must be
paid into the treasury before the
owner can be heard in court, Af-
ter paying the tax the individual
or company can sue the county
for the recovery of that amount
which they believe to be in excess
of what their taxes should be.
This will put asstop to hopractice
of entering suits against the coun-
ty in order to avoid the payment
Of taxes,for a year or two.

THE SCHOOL LAW
CHANGE PROPOSITION.

The proposition to abandon the
special charter under which the
schools of Rock Island are operated
is one on which public sentiment is
divided. THE ARGUS has no hest
fancy in stating that it has always
regarded the present system of school
government advantageous. 1t has
insured board of an absolutely non
partisan character, and the 81 hools
have had the benefit. If the schools
60 under the general law the mem ber-
ship will be increased and other COM
plicatioRs may arise. The bringing
up of the matter at the present time
as The ARGUS has said recently, may
prove iRopportune, as the success OF
the proposition might imPeril, or at
least delay, the erection of the new
high school. 1t would be much wiser
to make the change, if it is to be
made, year hence than now.

CITY SHOULD

Questions of Factory Sites and
Railroads That Demand
Attention.
OTHER TOWNS AREKEBPING AWAKE
Rock Island Should Look After
Its Own Interests
First.

These are busy times in the tri-
cities. Railroads are making impor-
tant changes affecting the community,
there is shifting in industries. and
each town, if it is not doing so, should
be looking after it's own interests.
Davenport and Moline business as
sociations have been Keeping their
ears to the ground all winter ready to
take advantage of whatever opportu-
nifty that might result in q benefit to
their cities. Rock Island, too, has
discussed the opening of a factory
site in the west end, but progress has
been slow. fact that is due to the
absence of the hustle that is essential
to the contamination of any public
project.
Talk is cheap. but it requires effort,
energy and unity to accomplish re-
suits. 1t is not because these ele-
ments are not in Rock Island that
Roadway has not been made. Great
undertakings have teen swung here
when the community was not half the
size that it is now.
Must Awake to the Situation.
People must realize that Rock Island
is growing. 1t is growing rapidly,
and must take it's place among the
leading cities of the west with refer
epce TO all questions affecting the
progress of modern city.
While during the last week there
have been several material changes
on the railroad map. there are yet in,
novations contemplated that will be
of particular interest to Rock Island.
Hence the ACCESSIBILITY of maintaining
friendly relations with the railroad
corporations doing business here.
Rock Island wants to see all three
cities boom, but it should look after
it's own knitting first.

To was permitted. The ARGUS is
