PAY
TAX UNJUSTLY.
Expert Says Spring Valley
Company's Assessment in
Alameda Is Unreasonable

Russell L. Dunn, expert on water for
the Board Of Supervisors, yesterday in
formed City Attorney Burke that the
water consumers Of San Francisco unjust
ly pay taxes amounting to $4,000 into the
treasury Of Alameda County on the
assessment Of s3,000,000 of the Spring VAL
ley Water Company In that county. The
communication says:
"In preparing for the water committee
the figures used as the basis of water
rates fixed for the year 1906-1907 by the
Board Of Supervisors the writer allowed
this sum, $4,000, as an item of expense
charge of the Spring Valley Water Com
pany which the water consumers of San
Francisco must pay in water rates during
the year 1sOs-M.
"a careful examination of the assess
ment roll Of Alameda County, together
with my knowledge Of the property of the
Spring Valley in Alameda County, has
satisfied me that this assessment is ar
bitrary, unreasonable and unlawful as
the so-called property pretended to be as
sessed at this valuation does not exist
This assessment should not be permit
ted to stand as Spring Valley property
assessment for the year 19O6-07. as the
water consumers of San Francisco will
have to pay the taxes on 1t in the rates
fixed for 1907-oS. II taken off the roll now,
when the water rates are fixed in Febru-
ary. 1907 whatever sum of taxes is there
by saved to the Spring Valley Water
Company this year can be taken out of
the rates fixed for the year 1907-0S
The water consumers of San Francisco
have a direct money interest in securing
the correction of the Spring Valleys Ala
media County assessment by having elm
mated from the roll the s3000,0O0 now as
sessed on property which Is not in exist

would close the town to saloons and
those who desire continuance OF the

A Bold step.

To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more intel ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com pounds, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N r., some time ago, decided to make a bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do- nestle use, and, so has published broad cast and openly to the whole world, a full and compiPte list of all the ingredients entering insS-the composition of his widely celebrated hedictAes. Thus he has taken his numere1s Yatrons and patients into his full SOn66ence.

EDUCATION IN NEW MEXICO.

That $5,OOO,OOO whose interest is be set apart for the public schools of Arizona the Great will not be an at tractive bait to the teachers of Arizona, to parents and others who now feel a just pride in our excellent public school system, unsurpassed by that of any state in the union.
 As we have already pointed out, if that appropriation should ever become available it is utterly improbable that any part of the proceeds from it would be applied to the schools of Arizona. The income would naturally, and very needed, to the school system, or what passes for the school system. of New Mexico
 There is, in fact. no modern educa- tional system there outside of the larger towns. as is admitted by the ter ritorial superintendent in his report to the governor of New Mexico for 1905. making the following confession: New Mexico encounters peculiar difficulties in her efforts to solve this problem Cof the rural schools). The great extent of country and the comparatively sparse population gathered into groups that offer some attractions for the pur- suit of material enterprises renders it very difficult in many instances to give some of these isolated bodies even the minimum amount of school prescribed by law"
 The same difficulties of isolation and sparseness of population confronted Arizona, but they were overcome, with the result that the system throughout the territory is uniform.
 In New Mexico, according to the su- perintendent's report, on account of the lack of uniformity among the counties in making levies for the support of the schools, some of the districts have only three months of school each year. and a few even less, or none at all.
 The report states that the so-caIIed public school system of that territory is Supplemented" by denominational schools, which receive some financial support. the amount not being set forth in the report, from the territorial treasury. These schools by religious denominations are: Presbyterian. 24: Catholic, 20; Methodist. IA; Congrega- tional, G. Baptist Mission, 4; 594O pu- pills are enrolled in these denomina- tional schools, and 1SS teachers are employed.
 This is sufficient insight into edu- cational conditions in New Mexico. It can easily be seen that the income from $5.00O,000 would be entirely in sufficient to build up and maintain there such a public school system as that of which Arizona has boasted for years, even if the whole of the income were honestly applied to it.
 As we have already shown, there could not be two public school systems in Arizona the Great. Friends of edu- cation in this territory may reasonably fear that our system would suffer by the process of equalization-by the two systems finding an inevitable, common level

DENATURED ALCOHOL.

local paper yesterday printed an interview with a usually well in formed gentleman on the subject of de- natured alcohol, in which views cal culated to discourage those who had looked forward hopefully to the opera tion of the denatured alcohol act which will become effective on January l of next year, were put forth.
 The gentleman stated, among other things. that on account of the expense of installing distilling plants of small production the cost of manufacturing alcohol would be much beyond popular expectation. In his opinion. plant with dily production of less than 100 barrels could not be made to pay. and on account of the probable lack of sufficient material, even then the plant might not be practicable.
 These views are widely at variance with the result of investigations by government experts, who have been in dustriously studying the subject ever since the passage of the bill They have been collecting data concerning the extent to which alcohol in this form is used in other countries. together with the details of manufacture and
