MONEY IS NEEDED.

There appears to be some change
for the better in the attitude of some
people toward the popular movement
for better police government in this
city. Perhaps this may be attributed
more to the organization of the Git.
zen's League and its action in clear
ing the decks for battle by raising
fund to employ secret service men
ETC., than to any other influence.
Up to the present time every inch
of ground gained for better govern
ment here has had to be fought for
with more or less desperation and
against official opposition, and it is
important to hold what has been
gained in order to gain more, To this
end eternal vigilance is necessary.
People who have long enjoyed
special privileges in the use Of which
the communities interests were sac
rificed do not easily give up those
privileges permanently, which is true

1909 the Comptroller General is re-
quired to transmit TO the county audi
tor in each of the various counties a
statement of the amount of premiums
or receipts collected therein during
the preceding year from the different
insurance companies, and tax dupli-
cate, together with other items of
taxable property owned by the com.
panies. Proceeding under this last
provision, tax amounting to $l7l.3t
was paid under protest by the New
York Life Insurance Company to the
treasurer OF Abbeylle county, and pro
ceedngs thereafter instituted for its
recovery. 1t was contended that tnr
tax was simply imposed as condi
ton tn the right OF Plaintiff, foreign
insurance company, to do business in
the state. The court held however,
that it was property tax, and as it
was not restricted to property or
money of the insurance company
within the state at the time of the
assessment, but covered its gross re
eeipts for the entire year, it was in
valid as constituting taking of prop
|erty without due process of law.

IMPORTANT TO CAIRO.

One of the subjects in which Cairo
business men have lively interest
is the extension of the county road
system, so that it will reach the
numerous centers of population in
this county, to whom cairo is not
accessible by railroads in such way
as to make it convenient for the peo-
pie to come here, either to sell or to
buy. The matter was discussed last
year at one of the Merchants Lunch
cons in very able manner. being
presented to the meeting in a care
fully prepared paper by County Clerk
Miller. IT was stated then by Road
Commissioners Conant and Wood
that the roads of this district (Road
District No II would be finished this
year as far as they need be to serve
the general public, and that hereafter
the larger part of the money collected
In this district might be devoted TO
extending the system Of roads north
ward into or through the adjoining
i district District No. y. In order to
.doathis it is necessary to consolidate
the two districts. as, under the law,
the money collected for road purposes
in each district can not be expended
outside that district The Cairo dis
trict yields something over $4,000
every year, and Commissioner Wood
declares not over $1,000 of this will
be needed for repairs, etc, on the
roads that will have been graded and
gravelled at the end of the present
wear. Hence $4,000 annually will be
available for road work in what is
now district No, Z, if the consolida
tion is made.
In order to consolidate these dis
tricts petition must be signed by Q

chants who always find the Canane-
ans good customers and are benefit
ted by an excursion from the big
Mexican copper camp. On Sunday
between 100 and $50 came up to the
bail game. All of the merchants re
port an excellent Sunday business
and believe that Douglas should re-
ciprocate by sending to Cananea a
larger excursion than came here.
