j LAW F u |
DEMURRACE
Suit Which Reeulted Favor
ably to the Government
at Philadelphia.

The largest rebates for which
prosecution was ever instituted
were those involved in the suit
which resulted favorably to the
Government at Philadelphia on
June Is. The Bethlehem Steel Co.
was indicted on 81 counts for
receiving rebates from the Phil
adelphia & Reading Railway Co
and on 63 counts for receiving
rebates from the Leh1gh Valley
Railroad Co. One Indictment a.
garnst the Philadelphia & Read
ing Ry. Co contained 63 counts,
the other II counts. One indict-
ment against the Lehigh Valley
Railroad contained 90 counts,
the other 81 counts. All defend
ants were convicted on all counts.
The amount of demurrage un
lawfully cancelled in these cases
was $113, $50 by the Lehigh
Valley Railroad and $49,59 bv
the Philadelphia Reading Ry.
Co.
This was the first conviction
IN which the law as to rebatine
was applied to the cancellation
of demurrage charges.
The first time any railroad
was ever prosecuted for charg-
ing too much was when an in.
dictment was secured recently at
New Orleans against a railroad
for making a charge for storage
on hay before the cars contain.
ing the hay had reached their
destination.
The Pennsylvania Railroad
was recently indicted in Chicago
for destroying way bills. The
law requires that the railroads
must preserve their records, and
the Commission, learning that
certain way bills had been des
troyed, invoked the law against
the railroad guilty of violating
this provision of the statue.

reason -...-.--- .-....-.....-..-3O, $50
Net increase ofexpense $40, 2,12O
Assuming a total tax roll of
81 million dollars for the state,
this would necessitate an in
crease Of 5 cents on each hundred,
dollars of valuation round fig
ures. if there were increased rev.
enues from no other source.
But there will be still more ad-
ditions of taxable property as a
result of the attainment of state
hood, but because of expiration
Of the periods of exemption for
some of the railroads. The in
creased revenues from this source
will materially swell the states
total, so that the net increase in
the tax rate should be only no
minal, at the worst.
This prospectively excellent
showing would be radically
changed, however, were we to
elect an extravagant legislature,
as was done in Oklahoma. In
that state, extravaganza ran
riot. They provided for a state
printer" and allotted to the job
a huge sum in graft, and numer-
Gus other unnecessary offices were
created.
1t is all up to the people to de
eide whether statehood shall
bring increased taxation.-Bis-
bee Review.

Runaway | cam.

The team of Mr.. P. F. Plus
cut a wide swath through the
town last Tuesday running
away while the Alfalfa King was
in the postofice AS a final re.
suit they collided with the new
delivery wagon OF VIM. H. Dagg
put a kink or two in the run
about of Dr.. Sprankle and tore
a small sized chunk out of the
buzz wagon of Mr. Marley Of
course such trifes failed to dis
turb the equanimity of the pop
ulace, and the only loser seems
to be Mr.. Plus. The damage
done was inconsequential and
and will be borne by the gentle
man of alfalfa notoriety. We
are sorry for Mr.. Plus but tickled
to death that the loss was not

Winslow May Have High
School.

A petition is now being circu
lated IN Winsl0w with view to
establishing a high shOol in this
school district, the location OF
this building to be at Winslow.
While a great many OF the peO
pie of Winslow will think this is
a somewhat advaced move, still
those having families will appre-
ciate the efforts of the school
board and will not only sign the
petition but will be willing to
stand any increase in the taxa
ton should such be necessary,
but the present Educational
Board have their own idea that
the tax will not be materially
increased and as they are a very
level headed and busineSs-like
board it is thought and deemed
wise to back them in their pro-
position to establish a higher
branch of education in WinslOw.

INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSION
Railroads Find it Expedient TO
Comply With the Demands
of the Commission

The Interstate Commerce
Commission has demonstrated
again that with the power to
restrain the railroads from COM
hitting acts which it may believe
to be illegal, or even against
public policy, it need not always
exercise that power. The rail-
roads find it expedient to comply
with the demands of the Com
mission without compelling it to
resort to legal process. This was
exempli6ed recently when the
Commission protested against
the announded intention of the
railroads reaching the Jersey
shore, the Central New Jersey,
the Delaware, the Pennsylvania,
the Lehigh, the New York, On
tario and Western and Others,
of increasing the communication
rates to New York City from 10
to 20 per cent. After conference
with Chairman Knapp of the
Commission all of the roads eX-
cept the Erie agreed to postpone
putting the increase into effect
until the Commission could have
a hearing on the question. That
night a restraining order was Sc
cured against the Erie, whose
increased rates were to have been
made operative that night at II
O. clock. On the following Mon
day, the next legal day The
Erie withdrew its rates.
It is estimated that the lncrea-
ses would mean an additional
revenue offrom $4,000 to 500,
900 a month in the passenger
receipts OF each of the roads IN

TAXES Will NOT Be A
BURDEN IN new STATE
Much VIII Depend Upon the Personal
of the New State Government; Ari-
IONA to Have Increased Revenues.

Will the taxpayers of Arizona
be "hit hard" when statehood
comes? is a question that is in
teresting many citizens just now.
Some rather wild predictions
have been made, to the effect
that under the state form of gov.
ernment the burden of taxation
will be much heavier, but there
seems to be little actual basis of
such prophesies. AS a matter of
fact practically every thing will
depend upon the personnel of the
new state government. An extra
VACANT government can easily
run our taxes up enormously.
On the other hand, if we are for
tunate enough to elect legislators
who will be governed by a spirit
OF economy, and if we elect capa-
bic state officers, there will be no
reason for any increase of the
tax rate.
1t is true that the expense ac-
count for salaries and so forth,
will be far larger than under the
territorial form; but the state
will also have larger revenues,
which will to a large extent off
set this account.
Uncle Sam now pays most of
the salary list. The additional
annual expense ol the state for
salaries will be approximately,

Legislature, on basis of 100000

Total :. $4,000
It will be noted that we have
allowed but $1,000 for the ad-
ditional expense for the supreme
court. The territory now pays
$4,000 a year, total, to the five
justices of the supreme court, the
remainder of their salaries being
paid by the United States. We
shall need but three justices of
the state supreme court, since
they will not do trial court work,
and if we pay them $4,000 each.
the total salary expense for the
supreme bench will be $15, 900 a
year, as against $4,000 now;
an increase Of So, 900.
Toward ofsetting this increas
ed expense, the state will get in
additional taxes from the main
line of the Santa Fe railroad, =,
say, $3O,S8O. This road has a
length of 3S6,76 miles. 1t is now
exempt from taxation under a
federal statute, but voluntarily

ties through which it runs, ave

valuation of approximately S5,-

sessed for taxation by the state,
assuming that the valuation
will be S15, 900 a mile, the same
as the Southern Pacific, the in
creased valuation will amount
to So, 100000, which on the ba-
sis Of an 80 cent tax rate for the
state would yield an additional
revenue of $50. $50.

1t is up to Uncle Sam to grant

done In the matter will be to refer
the proposed extension to- Superin-

gotiate with the War Department
for the opening of the street. The
proposed extension will pass through
