however, tells us that by the closing of the
saloons ''the schools will lose approximately
the sum of $4,000 annually" An examina-
ton of the table, beginning on page 1913 Of
the Bulletin, Statistics of Cities for 1905\
shows that Mobile in that year was licensing
245 saloons and twelve wholesale liquor deal
ers. A reference to page sc Of the same bull
letin furnishes the information that the sa-
loon licenses ranged in Mobile from $50 to
$3.50 per annum and that wholesalers were
taxed 1925 From page 80 we learn that
the cities received from the saloons total OF
$18,12 or 43 cents per capita.
Turning to page 299 Of the same Bulletin,
we learn that the assessed valuation of tax
able property in the city of Mobile in that
year was $19,O52,625, and that this repre-
sented so percent of the actual value of the
property Of the city.
From these facts it is easy to compute that
an assessment of nine and one-haf tenths OF
a mill, or ninety-fve one-thousandths Of a
cent upon each dollar of the assessed valua-
ton of the city would provide fund equal
to the revenue received in the city of Mo-
bile from the saloon, or, since this assess
ment is upon so percent basis, tax Of
four and three-quarters tenths of mill, or
four hundred and seventy-fve ten thous-
andths Of one cent upon each dollar Of the
property of the people of the city of Mobile,
would provide for the city the money that it
will 'Elose'' when the state shall close its sa-
looms.
This leaves us very much in doubt as to
why all this noise is being made about the
question.
There are some things, however, that we
are not in doubt about We feel very sure
that city that will starve its schools to
death because it expects to lose revenue that
amounts to 43 cents per capita of its popula-
ton, is pretty small town, whatever its
population may happen to be. We also feel
sure that taxpayers, who think it necessary
to deprive the children of their city of edu-
cational advantages that could be provided
for them by an assessment of less than one
half of one-tenth of cent upon the taxable
property of the city, are about the meanest
lot of "skinfints" of which the history of
the Twentieth Century will be able to tell
the future

ARRESTS ARE MADE
 FOR TAILOR SHOP RAID
Thieves Had Taken 22 Suits
 at Shelter City,

DOUGLAS May 2T.-( (Special)-- N. P. Cole, proprietor of the clean ing and pressing establishment. on c avenue which was robbed of 22 suits of clothes last Sunday afternoon, has proven himself quite detective and is happy over the recovery of several pairs of pants and a part of a dress suit which was stolen. One man Is in jail in Agua Prieta and two men are in the Douglas jail charged with being implicated in the crime.
 MT. Cope was convinced soon after the discovery of the robbery that the stolen goods were fin Agua Prieta. A diligent search through some of the Mexican resorts in that city disclosed some of the garments and resulted in the arrest of one man. Yesterday he was successful in picking up two men in Douglas with some of the clothes, on First and Sixth streets. He had no trouble in catching one, but she second prisoner when first recognized with the stolen pair of pants was with another man. When the amateur de- tective started after them they parted company, each running in different direction. This did not confust Cope He started after the slowest and caught him. He has recovered only small part of the goods stolen. but 1T he is as successful the rest of the week as he has been during the last two days, he ought to find all he lost and incidentally qualify for a star.
