SHEEP MEN ASK
FOR A HEAVY
TAX ON DOGS
WANT DOG OWNERS TO PAY FOR
ALL LOSES THEY MAY SUSTAIN
BY REASON OF DOGS, REGARD
LESS OF OWNERS.

Because OF the destruction Of a
large number Of sheep each year in
tlls state By dogs and the inability of
the sheep owners TO secure redress
from the owners Of the dogs, the
former will ask the legislature during
the present session to enact a %aw i'm
posing a head tax on all dogs, and to.
make the revenues derived from this
tax separate fund out of which
a sheep owner may be reimbursed for
his loss. in the event that he cannot
secure damages against thSt owner
of the dog killing his sheep.
According to the sheep men the
loss occasion by the destruction of
sheep by dogs each year runs into
thousands of dollars. There is law
on the statute books of the state de-
claring dogs personal property, and
If they kill them it brings down upon
their head the law, and in most in
stances, before the proceedings
would be concluded in a court the
costs woul dexceed by far the value
Of the sheep destroyed. In the mGr
jority of cases the sheep men have
no redress against the dog owners in
civil action, as they are not the
owners of property, and, as the sit
uation now INists, they must stand
by and see their sheep killed without
a murmur.
The law, which they will ask the
legislature to enact will provide for
head tax on each dog, and 1t will be
made large enough so that If per-
son owns dog which is of no value
he will not pay the tax, but exter-
inmate him, That, the sheep men
belBve, will go far to relieve the sit
uation. They further propose to in
corporate provision in the law
which will provide that the revenues
derived from the'tax shall be kept
separate fund, and out of it they pro-
pose to reimburse all owners whose
sheep are destroyed, and are unable
to recover damages for. one reason or
another from the owner of the dog.
Such law is now in effect in sew
eral states, and the results obtained
from it have been beneficial.

 He stands ready to state in more emphatic terms then those contain ed in his recent manifesto. if necess- ary, his attitude with reference to his retirement.
 He has demanded to know from his opponents tho terms in which they expected him to announce his willing ness to resign and is awaiting a re- ply from them.

 The presidents declaration last Sunday was made in good faith and with the desire to serve the interests Of his country. There was no subter- iuge in his declaration. He meant what he said-that he would lay down the reins Of government when he could 10 so without danger of anar- chy or chaos following his action.
 Minister of Finance Jose Yves Linn antour made the above explanation today to a representative of the As sociated Press.
 The next step to be taken by the government appears to hinge upon the receipt or non-receipt of a fur ther proposal from the revolution ists.
 Up To Madero.
 Nothing further is to be inaugur- ated by the officials in the direction of peace conferences.
 What the coming Of Reyes would mean to the country the minister could not say. His coming was op- posed by the revolutionists in the preliminary exchanges preceding the actual peace negotiations as inject ing into the situation a new political element which tended to complicate it."

RABAGO HAS ONLY
 95O TROOPS LEFT
Speculation Rife as 10 Whal Became of All the
 Others

FL PASO. May 12.-An American citizen Of Chihuahua arrived in Fl Paso late last night by automobile from that city. When interviewed ne stated that he had met General Ra- faso at Te-rezas, north of Chihuahua, Tuesday afternoon. The federal com mander had only 256 men and was marching south to Chihuahua.
 The remainder of his force which is claimed to have been originally ,2j0 was not in sight and it is pre- sumed that the column has gone on either to Ojinaga or Casas Grandes, presumably the latter place.
 The man stated that the insurrec- to forces of Colonel Augustus Estrada was strung along the line Of the Mex ican Central railroad to Juarez from Sauz. He coul1 not give an approx innate number of the insurrectos seen but said that 1t was a large force. At the time he left Chihuahua that city had not heard Of the attack on Jua-ez. Neither had Estrada or Rabago.
 Would Recapture Town.
 Provisional Governor Abram Con zales stated today that it is possible jbat the column of federals had been sent to Casas Grandes. but did not seem 10 think they could be of any danger to the insurrectos. He said that in the case they captured Casas Gr6ndes a large fovce of ins1rrectos with artillery would be sent there on Northwestern train and the town would be cleared Of federals.
 The governor also stated that he had received official advices to the eTect. that Generals Dudue and Escu- dero had evacuated Ojinaga 5rd that city is now occunied by the forces of Sanchez and villareal. The suppos- d coming of the latter force to Juar- ez he declared was a mistake as the insurrectos bod remained close to Oiiuaga, planning another attack on that town. The forces seen by Amer jeans coming along the border near Ysleta he said were only bands of scouts sent out by Madero looking for federals.
 In cage the federals attempt to come to JuaTez by the way of Casas Grandes the word will be immediate " sent to Juarez by telegraph. In case that the line should fail to work the news would be brought by scouts who are posted every five miles be- tween the two cities.

 The immediate effect has been the practical elimination Of the Amer lean fighting force fin the ranks Of the insurrecto army. The Americans themselves vehemently deny the charges of footing against them, claiming that jealousy among the in surrectO leaders is back or the charge, and the moving incentive is the taking of all the credit for the victory by the Mexicans to the ex- clhsion of Americans and Colonel Garibaldi, the grandson of the Ital- ian patriot, and 2S Meucans who, the Americans assert, came to ait them after they fought their way into the city.

IS TUCSON AFRAID?
CTucso nStar.)


 If some resident of Kalamazoo or Timbuctoo. with S and a pleasant smile, wanted to locate in Tucson, he would be urged, yea. verily. almost Ompelled. Co do so. Yet the terri torial capitol, bringing to the metrop- oils unprecedented superiority over other cities in Arizona for all fu- ture time, and being of more i'm portsnce to this city than seversi railroads or smelters, seems avail able, and not a step is taken to en- courage the movement whi ;h aRother city started. Is it out oI fear of Phoenix, or mere lack of enterprise and epirit that nothing is done?
 A leading attorney of Arizona cites cases and decisions in The Star this morning showing that the clause in the statehood constitution holding the capital in Phoenix is bluff pure and simple. The Phoenix Republican an- mits as much in the following editor ial of yesterday.
 Tt is 8 proposition which. un-
 der the initiative system of leg
 islation the people of the state
 will have to dispose of at the
 polls in the near future-and this
 regardless of the requirement. in
 the enabling act that Phoenix
 shall remain the capital until 1925
 and regardless Of constitutional
 provisions; for under the initia-
 tive and referendum system no con-
 stitutional provision can be re-
 garded as safely fixed. Unques-
 tionably the required number of
 signatures to a petition calling
 for the removal of the capital
 could be obtained"
 Tucson, claiming to be a city of boosters, and having organizations supported for that purpose, should be ashamed to stand off and let other communities pull her chestnuts out of tte fire. If Tucson does not want tl'e state capital let her say so, and admit that she is either a coward or a m oss- back, not deserving to be classs1 ss a leade-. as a progressive community. The capital is not only worth Lavigs. but is worth fighting for.
