SEMI-ANNUAL PAYMENT OF
 TAXES

TAXES
 The bill of Mir Hogwood's, which was passed by the house yesterday. for the payment of taxes semi-annu- ally was a response to a demand which has become general throughout the territory, especially in the agri- cultural counties and in the larger towns.
 The chief arguments in favor of the bill are that under the semi-annual system. less money will be withheld from circulation at a time and that to the average man, the taxpaying burden will seem to rest less heavily.
 The main argument against it is, that the money for the schools will not be ready at the same time of year that it has always been. But that is a matter susceptible of read justment. It has also been feebly ob- jected that the proposed plan will double the work of the tax collectors. It might be said in reply to that ob- jection, that most onerous task of the collectors for the greater part of the year is to withstand ennui, but anyhow, the comfort of the collectors is hardly to be considered as against the welfare or the convenience of citizens.
 In many of the eastern states the system of semi-annual payment has been in practice for many years. There has always been some com plaint there that the midsummer payment falls at a time when the farmers have the least money, for there, as early as June the crops have not been turned into money.
 The situation here is different. money for their crops by the first of June as they will receive the rest of the year.
 In fact, long before the present tax paying time. practically all the pro- ceeds of the farm have long since been converted into cash and prepa- rations for the next crop are under way.
 In one other respect, the summer payment of taxes will be a good thing for Phoenix and most other towns It will fall at a time when those who can afford it, and many who cannot, are preparing to leave on their summer flights to the coast; when some of them have raised money for the trip in every imaginable way, by pawning the cook stove and standing off" the butcher and the grocer.
 But the taxes cannot be stood off and the necessity of paying them will keep thousands of dollars here which would otherwise be frittered away inside"
 ceeds in raising enough money above the amount of his taxes, for his sum- mer outing, he will return in better financial shape than he otherwise would have done. Though he has spent everything he could take with him (and he would have spent more if he had had iD he will return with his taxes half paid, and he will be glad of it.
 In December, when the buying spirit is on, people having only the remaining half of their taxes to pay will have that much more money for Christmas purchases. Thus the mer- chant also becomes a beneficiary of the semi-annual payment

It is very likely that steps will tablishmert of permanent order in the Central American states. At any rate, the sacredness of treaties. even among those tumultuous little gov ernments, will be impressed upon them. The Panama canal fixes upon this country a certain responsibility for the good behavior of all the folk living anywhere near it.

No doubt sentiment played some part in the defeat of the movement to remove the county seat from Tombstone Thirty years ago that was one of the best known mining camps in the world. It rivalled Lead vile, and its rather gruesome name further added to it's fame. There are many men yet living and proud to boast of their residence in Tombstone in it's palmiest days. Among them is Councilman Goodrich. its foremost champion now.

~CHOOL had been for some months in progress
when the footsteps of Yetta Aaronsohn were
~ turned by long suffering truant officer, IN the
direction of room Is. During her first few
hours among its pictures, plants and children, she
sadly realized the great and many barriers which sep
arated her from Eva GonoroWsky, Morris MoglleWsky,
Patrick Brennan and other favored spirits who basked
in the sunshine of teacher regard For, with face
too white hair straight dresses too short and legs
too long one runs poor chance in rivalry with more
blessed and bedzened children
Miss Bailey had already appointed her monitors,
organized her kingdom, and hedged about with
servors and assistants that her wishes were acted
upon before stranger could surmise them, and her
cabinet from the leader cf the line to the monitor OF
the goldfish bowl, presented an impregnabe front to
the aspiring public.
During recess time Yetta learned that teacher was
further intrenched in groundless prejudice Sarah
Schrodsky, class bureau of etiquette and of Savo'r
taire warned the newcomer:
Sooner YOU comes the school nit dirt on the
face she woudn t to have kind feelin S over you.

stricken newcomer and for the first three days of her
school life Yetta very early and very dirty.
Miss Bailey, with gentle tact, delivered little lee
lures upon the and beauty of soap and water which
Eva Gonorowsky applied to and discussed with the
newcomer.
Miss Bailey is awful nice teacher she began
one afternoon. II never in my world seen no nicer

Yetta determined, unaded and unadvised, to be her

she begged piece of soap from the friendly Janltor
