Taking Desperate Chances

Taking Desperate Chances.
1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precaution or treatment, and
knowledge of this fact leads others to
take their chances instead of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the
vitality, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding cold and
paves the way for more serious dis
eases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for its
cures OF colds, can be had for trihe?

 But none of the conside rations such as enumerated have counted with those who have struggled to control the municipal government of Nogales: the promised millen- ium has come, the town is wide open", and good times will now proceed to return immediately to the line city. With exclusion of the women from the saloons prosperity deserted the place, trade languish- ed, every body lost money and the International Bank collapsed.

OF GOOD EFFECT.

Another good effect of the recent decision of the supreme court of Arizona reversing the district court in the Copper Queen tax cases, of which mention and com ment were recently made in these columns, will be to discourage that litigation which is frequently re- sorted to by large taxpayers, to secure a compromise and rebate of their taxation, which they will hardly do with the money in the county and territorial treasuries as it will be under the recent decision of the supreme court.
 The history of the case is in this wise: It had been the frequent custom of heavy taxpayers to go to

--a------- q TENACIOUS FOREIGNER.

l This week all the business men
 of Hermosillo united in telegra phic protest to the Los Angeles
 Times and the Associated Press
 generally against the sensational
 telegrams sent out by the Hermo-
 sillo correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press with reference to the
 Yaqui troubles. That the ever re- curing difficulties continue, THE OASIS has presented; and as facts develop they are presented in these columns. But there have been no towns attacked and burned by the
 Yaquis, as has been telegraphed to the Associated Press from Hermo- sillo. What collisions have oc. cured between the Yaquis and the government forces have taken place in the mountains, and in every instance the great brunt of the loss has been upon the Yaquis. As TIE OASIS has frequently pre- sented the Yaquis are not molest- ing Americans, and all of our countrymen having business in So- nora travel all the roads without danger and unmolested. Within a very short time THE OASIS editor has ridden unattended and. alone in the very vicinity of the out break and difficulty now on hand, and he would not hesitate to go there again now were his 'bnsiness to call him in that direction.
 The correspondent who has sent out so much sensational and alarm ing stuff" is doing great harm to Sonora. THE OASIS is informed of several promising mining deals of considerable magnitude that have'been stopped by his magnified, unveriGed and sensational reports. His needless and criminal course plainly puts the correspondent within the provisions of Article B of the Mexican constitution, for expulsion of pernicious foreigners; and THE OASIS respectfully sug- gests to the state and federal auth critics at Hermosillo that they in- yoke the provisions of that article and send the offending correspon- dent across the border.

GOOD TIMES.

By THE action of the new towr
 board, taken Monday evening
 opening the saloons to the women
 the lack of good faith of those who
 insisted that the repeal of the ordi.
 nance excluding women was not an
 issue in the recent election, is
 plainly shown. When TIE OASIS
 stated that an effort would be made
 to return women to the saloons the assertions were repeatedly and ire quently made that no such move was contemplated in any quarter, and that THE OASIS was raising q false issue. Without a doubt many voters were misled by such asser- tions, and voted for the ticket which was elected
 But whether such be the case or not makes but little difference in the present situation to those who stood for a principle and by their votes registered a protest against a return to Morley avenue of the sights and sounds so familiar when the town was wide open" Those who object to having the ears of their wives and daughters salut- ed with sounds of ribaldry and un- due hilarity issuing from the open doors of saloons as they pass along Morley avenue, will simply have to keep their wives and children off from that street after eight o'clock in the evening, and that is all there is to it. The rights of all such are subordinate to those of two or three who expect to make more money by permitting the license which prevails in wide open" town. The matter would not have so serious a side were No gales spread out, like Douglas, Tombstone or other towns that can be mentioned. In Douglas the street where are the saloons with women is four blocks away from the business street of the town. In that place no one need to go to the wide open" street unless they so desire; and those who wish to take an evening promenade do not have to go to that stre't at all. The main business street is always free from anything objectionable. But Nogales has practically only one street, and to that all are compell- ed to go whether for shopping or for any other reason. It Is the on ly street where the walks are good. Had the council taken even the that could have been done, and made the time ten o'clock at night, instead of eight, after which women would not be exclud- ed from saloons, the action taken would not have been so objection able. By that time those whose senses would be offended would have no further need or cause to be upon Morley avenue, and that time limit would have been a graceful conces- sion to all such that would have been no more than fair. and would ! not have cut appreciably into the . profits of those who to sell their . liquors want the aid of siren

 ments made by the boards of super
 visors. Of course the tax levy
 had to be made to meet the
 estimated expenses of government,
 and tying up in litigation the large sums of money involved in such
 suits disarranged the finances of
 the county where suit was had,
 perhaps for d period of years, until
 final adjudication of the case in
 the supreme court. Frequently
 before the case got so far com
 promise was accomplished, and the
 county took smaller sum than
 that to which entitled, and that
 would have been received had the trial proceeded to the court of last resort.
 To obviate the evils and incon- veniences of the method pursued as above outlined, the legislature provided that before any taxpayer contesting his assessment could have a standing in court he must first pay into the county treasury the sum assessed. Then the county and territory would not be de- prived of the use of their rightful money, and were there any excess sive taxation the excess could be returned to the contesting tax payer, when so decreed by the courts. The new law was copied from California, and other states, where for years contesting tax payers have had to proceed in the way described; and wherever that system has prevailed 1t works we'll A dissatisfied propertyholder pays under protest the amount assessed, and enters suit for return of the excess claimed If the courts award it, the money is returned. If they don't the public treasury has had the money at the time the law contemplated, and the tax payer has had no chance to wear out the authorities by protracted secure a compromise, and in that way evade his fair share of taxation.
 There is bit of inside history in connection with the adoption by Arizona of the salutary legislation described. There had been pro- posed a bullion tax law to the same legislature that framed the act mentioned. The representa- tives in the lobby of the big mines this law instead of a bullion tax law, general il it's pro- but, perhaps, unequal in it's operation. Their argument was that by leaving it to the various boards of supervisors the mines would be more equitably taxed. That argument prevailed, and the act proposed was passed.
 Of all the counties having large mines Cochise county was the only one Tn which the board of supervisors attempted to with the law. In that county are the great Copper Queen mines at Bisbee, which are capital zed away up in the millions, and Ire said to be paying dividends { lpon fourteen millions of dollars. [ The county board made an assess nent of about three millions, upon I which the tax would be about ninety thousand dollars. As as- { 'essments of other properties go l hat is generally conceded fair ! But the great mining { desired an assessment of

 unequal taxation, and consequentl,
 unconstitutional. The Conn,
 Queen had rendered 5000. which
 the county treasurer perforce ac.
 cepted.
 At that time TIE OASIS charoet
 erized the decision of the district
 court as erroneous The fact that
 the law was not observed by tbe
 Yavapai and Graham countv
 boards should have been no bar to
 its enforcement in Cochise. TIn-
 holding the Cochise board in ifs
 effort to do it's duty would have
 very likely shown the way to the.
 performance of their duty by the
 boards in the other two counties.
 and by this time all three counties
 and the territory would be pro.
 bably on some sort of equitable terms in dealing with its great
 mines in matters of taxation. In the first place the district court should have called upon the Con-
 per Queen Company to observe the law and pay into the hands of the county treasurer the full amount assessed by the county board
 Next the court after dismissing the injunction should have tried the case upon its merits. In doing that the assessment of mines in other counties should have been ignored, and an effort made to de- termine the actual value of the Copper Queen properties That value determined the next ques- tion naturally would be: "Is the assessment made by the county board upon the Copper Queen properties equitable in comparison with the assessment and valuation of other property in the county" Crhe phrase"other property"should be taken to mean the general run of property-not isolated casesl. With that question answered af- firmatively, there would have been an end to the proposition. With the inquiry answered negatively the next would be: What would be a fair assessment?n That could be easily determined in open court, and judgment rendered occord- ingly.
 The Cochse county board ape pealed to the supreme court, and upon two hearings the district court was reversed in both At this writing TIE OASIS has not seen the syllabus of the supreme court; but it assumes the judgment dis solves the injunction granted by the district court, and remands the case to the distric; court to h. tried upon it's merits. With the right kind of a showing there will be no difficulty in demonstrating that the assessment made by the Cochise board in 1901 was reason able.
 But the point of this long article IS this: Under the supreme court decision courts will not interfere with the operation of the law that ,ontesting taxpayers must first pay the amount assessed. and go to aw afterwards. Here in Santa Cruz county the evil effect of that ruling in the Cochise district court las been felt. The San Rafael Cattle Company contested its as sessment; and then, the county needing money, a compromise was ,ffected and the sum accepted that he cattle company was willing to

NOW WELL EDUCATED
From a Poorly Clad, Bare
Footed Urchin a Girl De-
veIOped Into a Refined
Young Woman
and Is Rich.

Stories Of the alleged ill-treatment
OF full-blo0d Indians have been told so
frequently that the good fortune OF
Aky Neteeski, as presented in legal
documents on file in the clerks office,
comes az a relief.
The girl was born In the Saline dis
trict In the spring Of 1883. AS She ran
about barefooted and illy-clad during
the winter of 1889 her bright eyes and
scanty attire attracted the attention
of Mr.. and Mrs. II. d. Lannon, Of
Bartlesyille, who were passing through
near the place Aky called home. They
soon arranged with the parents and
took the child into their care. She
was iittingly clothed and, after much
trouble, was taught to wear shoes.
The child grew rapidly and was treat
ed on terms Of equality with other
children Of the household. She was
given school advantages until now she
has developed into a refined, educated
girl Of lB years.
Mr.. Lannon was appointed legal
guardian Of the girl few years ago
and he selected an allotment for her
and attended TO her filing, etc. From
rentals the girls estate consisted Of
s265. 10 In Dec. 1907. This money was
placed in bank and Mr.. Lannon, In
fhis report to the court, charges him
Self with per cent. interest. No
Icharge has ever been rendered for
clothing or support, school books or
anything else.
The guardian has used l60 acres Of
land held by the girl before the allot-
ment, as pasturage and charged him
self with q rental of one dollar per
acre. At the age Of fourteen years,
Aky did not occupy or own any lands
but being a citizen by blood her guar
dian furnished her with improved
lands upon which to file claim.
Now Mr.. Lennon asks the right to
lease for his ward the oil privileges Of
her allotted lands to the Renfrow Oil
and Gas company, having secured an
advantageous proposal.
The land adjoining that held by the
girl belongs TO Mr.. Lannon and he has
four wells from which $4,000 worth
OF oil has been taken, which has net
ted a fortune after paying expenses.
The girl now has s46l to her credit,
In cash, and viii receive tidy bonus
from those who seek the lease.
The matter wiil be determined by
Judge Lawrence.
