OPPOSE WILD CAT BOUNTY
Yuma and Supervisors Think II Costs
Too Much Money

PliOENlN. Jan. 2l.-Both the Yuma
and Maricopa supervisors are in favor
of bill by the present legislature
abolishing the bounty on wildcat skins.
During the last year Yuma county
paid out $1,000 for wildcat skins alone,
while Maricopa's bill was about the
same.
1--WE think $1,000 is altogether too
ihuch To pay out for 'varmnts, -
said \. ii. Kent, one of the Yuma su.
pervisors, VINO is in the city to attend
the convention of Arizona supervisors.
ut is heavy drain on our treasury
that we would like to see stopped. In
my opinion, wild eats are more of a
blessing that a pest in Yuma county.
They kill the rabbits, which really do
damage to the crops, and we can spare
the few chickens they eat now and
tnen.'
Supervisors Orme of Maricona
49, '"'i'iN WIN MI. Kent. He
believes that $1,000 per year drain ON
the treasury of the county should be
stopped Immediately. Most of the
skins now brought in come from dis.
'ant parts of the county, where their
wearers could not possibly do any
damage. There are no chicken wards
there for them to rail. It IS in those
parts that the professional hunters
reap rich harvest. Some of them
make as much as $500 some months
1T is time the legislature mt n
stop to the useless expenditure of
county oney" said Supervisor Orme
today.
Mr. Kent reports Yuma as beiny
quite prosperous. Her citizens bane

congress for a bridge across the Col.

Governor Glasscock S Interview in
the lntelliSencer declaring for a
production tax on natural gas and
| giving warning of an intention to
start movement that will bring
| about such taxation, has stirred up
tho state as it has never been stirred
up before. "
There will be little opposition to
the scheme that is not thoroughly
selfish, but It will be powerful, I'M
scrupulous opposition. The gas in
terests which are draining our nat
ural resources without paying tax
or toll have the power and millions
of the Standard Oil company be-
hind them, and we all know what
that means in Legislative matters.
Still If all the people who are pay
ing their own share of taxes, and
also the share that the gas men
should rightfully pay, would stand
together and elect men TO the legis-
lature who will vote right the vic
tory, will be won easily in 1911.
The argument has been made
that if a tax Of one cent per 1000
cubic feet were imposed by the state
it to the selling price and make the
consumers pay it. AS most gas
companies operate under franchises
which stipulate the selling price this
program might be attended with
some difficulty, but be that as it
may, nearly all the gas produced in
West Virginia is taken out Of the
state, and it is up to those who en-
JOY the use Of it TO pay something in
return to the community from which
they take it.
