An Eye-0pener For
 Anti Jointists

Figures can't lie" is saying as old as the hills. It develops that Arizo- mans pay rinety-iy cents taxes on the sl00 while the New Mexicsns pay sl.55. In commenting on the inter- esting fact the Arizona Republican of Sunday morning said:
 The joint statehood orators ridicule the "Continental Di ide," the barrier which separates Arizona from New Mexico and assures us that it is who'll ly imaginary. We may admit that it is not insurmountsble. We may even concede that it may be crossed in comparative comfort-in places. But there is something else between Ari- zona and New Mexico more painfully alt tudinous than the Continental Di- vide and it is not imaginary but on record. That is the difference between the tax rates of the two territories. Does any Arizona taxpayer feel like crawling lsboriously from the 95 rate of this territory to the $l 5 rate of New Mexico? Or is there a sober- minded taxpayer in Arizona who wants to assist in leveling the tax rates of the two territories?

Doings in the
 District Court

District Court was in session today ior tte last day until the latter part of September. The only matter up before the court this morning was the back tax case of the county against W G Goodale, alleged to be due on the tract of land formerly owned by the Boston Milf people on the San Pedro River. The defendant repre- sented by MT Gibson asked for addit- ional time to make some changes in his answer and demurrer and the cas- went over until later in the term.
 This evening the court will probably hear the evidence in the cases of two aliens from Bisbee who wish to get out their final papers so that they ~ill be able to vote this fall. They were un- able to reach here before.
 In the case of Warnekros vs Lowen stein, an appeal case from the justice court. judgement was given for the plaintiff and the calendar cleared oi the last case set for trisl at this time
 Court adjourned this afternoon or rather stands at a recess until such time as the Judge returns from his vacation on the coast.
 A short session of the district court was held by Judge Doan today which closes the term, adjournment being taken until the lat.er part oi September.
 Winifred Fuller was granted de- cree of divorce from Chas E Fuller The plaintiff was also awarded custody of the minor child.
 Elizabeth McCutcheon was also granted a divorce from Robert Mo. Curcheon.
 When court opens in the latter part of September it is probable that Judge Kent will be on hand for a few days and will try several cases in winch Judge Doan is disqualified, among which are the Meade Scribner cases, the Meade Review case and the Me- Gowan-Graham case.
 In the district court last evening Jas Erickerson of Bisbee was admitted to citizenship.
 In days session the case of Me- Gowan vs Gaines for damages slleged to be due for services rendered as tax attorney, the demurrer to the com plsint was sustained and the plaint.ff agreed to stand by his complaint, whereon the defendant was awarded judgment. A motion fors new trial was made but denied, and notice of appeal given.
 An order was made designating the First National Bank of Nogales as depository for funds in U s bank ruptcy cases that arise in that county and fixing the amount of the bond at 5000.
 Court then stood at a recess until such time in September as it may be necessary to have it opened.
