SCHOOL AND ROAD LAW
 WILL BE CONTESTED

Will the territorial statutes, which makes it the duty of every employer to pay to the assessor the annual school tax for his employees and deduct the same from their wages, hold water when it is tested in the courts?
 Such is the question which bids fair to be settled in Gila county within a short time. There have been numerous complaints against this statute from business houses in Globe, and the head of one concern has fatly refused to pay the school tax of his employees.
 County Assessor Merritt, after making several attempts to collect the school tax from the employees of the man in question, passed the matter up to the Gila county dis trict attorneys office and suit will proba bly be brought to decide the question. It is claimed that the employer will fight his side of the legal battle for the purpose of test ing the law, and, as the result, the validity of the statute may be de- termined.
 It is generally held that the Ari zona lawmakers stretched a point when they adopted this statute, but it is a recognized fact that a tax law, no matter how weak, is usually hard to break down, and if the mat ter is taken up by the courts, which is probable, it is more than likely that the validity of the law will not be settled without a lengthy legal battle.
 Another matter which will arouse the ire of the taxpayers is the fact that they will more than likely be compelled to pay road tax to both the county and city this year.
 Before the adoption of the recent road district law, which abolished all former road districts of each county, the old system of road taxes, by which each road super visor in the country districts col lected the taxes of that district. was abolished, and in the new road law it was specified that every male resident of the county should pay road tax in the same manner that school tax is paid.
 No provision is made for the ex- emption of the residents of incor- porated towns and as a result the male residents of the city within the required age limits are appar- ently due for a double dose of taxes this year.-Globe Silver Belt.

SINCE the cheap passenger rates went in effect from the eastern points to the Southwest the rail- roads are over taxed with passenger traffic. Nearly every Santa Fe passenger train from the east have been run in two sections. Many of those coming come with an in- tention to locate somewhere in the great southwest.

Reform In Bisbee.

Following the lead taken by several other cities, Bisbee's city council has just passed two ordi- nances. one abolishing the dance hall in the redlight district and the other closing the saloons from mid night to 6 o'clock in the morning. But few of the Bisbee liquor dealers offered any opposition to the clos ing ordinance.
 For several years the redlight dance halls in Bisbee have been a source of much crime, and several attempts have been made to close them. In addition to closing the dance halls, the council passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor in the redlight district.

GOLDFELD MILL HAS
5RE AfACITY.

GOLDFIELD. New, Jan. 20.-The
Consolidated mill is now running
smoothly under its increase of capaci-
ty from $50 to $50 or 900 tons daily
since the installation of the six
Chilean mills.
This opens a new or larger earn
ing power for the Consolidated prop
erty without straining the capacity
of the big plant or making undue de-
mands on the ore reserves now in
sight in the mines. In fact, the in
creased capacity of the mill was
made necessary by the rapid in
crease in the ore reserves that are
constantly being opened by develop
ment work. Without enlarging the
mill there would have been stag
nation in the normal development
and output of the property.
Taking the normal output of the
mill under former conditions at
100000 a month, there is reason
to believe that in future the output
will be added to the gross earnings
of the Consolidated company.
