Taxing Banks
 And Mortgages
DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF GRA- HAM co. GIVES HIS OPiN-
 ION.
Knows of No Law in Arizona That Provides for Assessment of Mort saees-Mr. Rawlins Says Bank Shares Should Be Assessed-Not the Corporate Property.

Solomcnville. Feb. 12.-Recently the county assessor of Graham county, in a letter addressed to the Board of Supervisors asked for instructions regarding the assessment of banks and mortgages in this county. The letter referred to the district attorney and his reply. under date, of January 30. as fellows in brief:
 The questions propounded by the as sessor were:
 First-How should the bank of Ora nam county be assessed?
 Second-Should mortgages be as- sesssed? .-.
 As to the first question the district attorney refers the county assessor to Par, 3873. laws 1901, which provides two methods of assessing oorpora- tions. One method by taxing the cor. porate property of all corporations, except banks. The other method by assessing the shares of stock of banks and banking companies. in order to effect this purpose in the case Of banks, the district attorney says: "The shares of stock should be assess ec and taxed, and not the cooperative property; the term cooperative prop erty includes surplus. undivided prof its. real and personal property owned by such bank
 The district attorney in the next paragraph calls attention to Par. 3S47 which directs the assessor to deter mine the cash value of all the property in the county, and advises the asses sor that the term, full cash value should go to all property subject to taxation whether owned by person or 1 corporation, and adds, If you should | assess any class of property at it's full cash value, as directed by law. then you should assess all other property at its full cash value
 ''If you should assess the shares of stock of any bank at its full cash val ue, then you should assess all other corporate property and all farming lands and all other property both real and personal in your county. at it's full cash value"
 ( In conclusion the district attorney adds:
 Yet if all the property in Graham county should be assessed at its full cash value, and the properties in the other counties of this territory should 1 only be assessed at one-half of its cash value, then the citizens of Ora ham county would pay into the terri { tory treasure more money than the l taxpayers of other counties Of the

Nogales. Ariz., Feb. 12.-An officer from Fl Paso arrived here last night bringing R. Allyn Lewis, vice president of the International bank, of this city, which was recently footed by it's off, cers. Lewis was arrested in Fl Paso on Wednesday, where he had been for several days. Ten days ago Lewis telegraphed that he would return to Nogales at once. He arrived at Fl Paso on Monday. and when he did not ccme on to this city. Sheriff Hunter, who held warrants for his arrest, tele- graphsd to the chief of police in Fl Paso to make the arrest When ar rested Lewis expressed the greatest surprise and stated that he had no active connection with the manage ment of the bank for two years, being in New York nearly all the time dur ing that time. It is claimed by other officers of the bank that Lewis is the cause of the first embarrassment which was brought on the bank,
 Lewis has not been placed in jail. but he will most likely sleep in that institution tonight. along with his as- sociates in the direction of the defunct bank. :2.s 'e< ~-s a

TT was always too hot
 Or else twas too cold. - Some friends were too timid
 And some were too bold Some flaw he was constantly picking. And he often remarked,
 With a satisfied grin. That this world was devoted To folly and sin He derived all his pleasure from kicking. He served his time here
 And to heaven he went. With peace and perfection He wasn't content Ills heart in his throat soon was sticking. He hadn't a grievance.
 He found it so slow That just out of pity They sent him below. And now he Is happy and kicking.

Enort-Loss About $3.50.

Anort-LOss AuOut wADV.
A fire that might have resulted Ia
the loss of considerable property and
probably of life, broke out Monday
afternoon In the residence of Mr..
James F. Thompson. on South Queen
street. bnt was put out after some
effort with small loss TO the owner.
The fire was in the bed room Of Mr..
Thompson on the second floor of the
dwelling. and is supposed to have
originated from lighted match In
The hands Of Mr.. Thompson's young
est son, Samuel. as he was the only
one in the room at the time.
The blaze started In the front OF the
room among the lace curtains, and
when discovered by Mr.. Thompson
was making rapid Roadway among
the furnishings of the room. The
little boy was standing within few
feet Of the flames. unconscious of his
danger. After some effort the menu
bers of the family together with the
assistance Of some outsiders the fire
was pot out. The alarm was not sent
ID.
The furnishings of the ON were
badly burned together with the wood
work of the front of fne building,
and the loss will amount to about
$3.50, which is covered by insurance
through Agent I'll. s. Thompson.

mony Was Heard Wednesday.
Tue recount of the ballots cast in
this county at the recent election for
members Of the legislature aud On
democratic and one republican candi-
date for assessor was completed yester-
day evening about O'CLOCK, and the
result, as minated Ia The Evening
World Monday. was i actioally as
announced by the mem ers of the
County court at the completion of the
canvass more than week ago.
The recount on the Legislative
tickets shows that Mr.. Hntsler's
actual plurality over his republican
opponent is 80 votes. as against plu.
raiitv of "a announced at ii q close OF
the canvass. This is loss of one
vote.
Mr.. Westnhal's plurality is shown

of one over the official returns.
Mr.. Payne's plurality over Mr..
Morgan. for assessor, is 43 votes. as
against SO, on the faca of the official
returns. loss of 10.
Thus 1t will be seen that there has
been no change in the result. although
very different face may be placed
upon the matter of the contention
of the attorneys for the contestants,
that several whole precincts should be
thrown ont. il upheld nv the court.
In one precinct il is asid that poll
clerk acted without taking the GUS
tomary oath In smother it is alleged
that voters were allowed to mark their
ballots outside of the booths. In one
or two other precincts other technical
points were raised, the whole affecting
several hundred votes, or enough to
defeat the democrats ii the objections
are sustained.
The County court will hear evidence
and arguments on these points tomor-
row. Witnesses have been summoned
from the precincts affected and the ses
sion will be taken MP tomorrow with
their testimony. So far as Ii known
there Ia no question of fraud advanced
by either side, the matter resting en-
tirely upon the question whether ths
