 A letter was read from Represent ative Carl Hayden concerning a tract of 1447 acres the city seeks to secure from the government in the neigh borhood of the Hole in the Rock, for park purposes. It stated that the house committee having in it's hands bill to that effect, objects to a Vio- lation of it's policy. of charging the minimum price of $1.25 per acre for lands disposed of for such purposes and under such conditions. MT. Hay den said he doubted very much if the committee could be moved from that position but that if the council would provide him with it's argu- ments against it he would use his
 best speech making talents in pre- senting them. Mayor Christy stated that he had answered the letter ad- vising MT Hayden that the city is too poor to buy the land now, that il is valueless for agricultural purposes and so far as anybody knows fOI mineral purposes also, that it would be a fine thing for the city and is of little value to anyone else.
 A small strip of the land is now held by the war department for a rifle range for the national guard Mr. Christy suggested that it would be entirely agreeable to slice that off the tract in question and let the army keep it.. The rest of it will be amply large TOT a good park, The council adjourned to meet again next Monday night.

NEW BLANKS

Revenue Inspector George Kirkland has received instructions from the department to make himself as active ag possible in disseminating the in formation that hereafter every appli- cation for special tax stamps, which is an official expression meaning li- ,rnse. must be made on what is linown as form H. a new blank that was. promulgated on the l4th day of February. this year. the same day Arizona became state.
 This announcement is made for the reason that many notaries public, justices of the peace and others be- fore whom applicants for revenue li- cenSes have been in the habit of ap- bearing. to secure the necessary ac- ltnowledgment. are stocked up with old blanks that were in use when Arizona was territory. They are not aware that change has been made and fill out the old blanks and send them on to the revenue col lector Under the law they prOsitiVely cannot be accepted and unexpected delay and expense often follow be fore the right blanks are furnished and the transaction properly effected. The revenue officials have no choice in the matter and desire this in formation to be placed in the hands of all persons requiring licenses or before whom they are acknowledged.
 The proper blank to use is form II and the date of its official ere ation February IA. 1912. is printed in the upper left hand corner. No 1aries or others who have the OlG blanks may just as well destroy them Tor they are of no further value

MODERN WOoDMEN
WOULD sECEDE.

Although there seems to be litrls or
no feeling in the local camp of tho
Modern Woodmen over the action Of
the national body in increasing insur-
ance rates, it is evident that the same
spirit does not exist over the entire
country. The following from the Min
neapolis Tribune will be of interest to
many who have been watching tho
movement in the lodge:
According to John L. Sunbeam, lead
er of the insurgcnt element of the Mod
ern Woodmcn of America, opposed 70
the increase of insurance rates adopt.
ed by the recent Chicago convention.
Modern Woodmen camps in many states
may secede and endeavor to maintain
independent Woodmen organizations.
"The increased rates will make =
difference of about $4,000 a month to
the 1000 Woodmen in Hennepin coun-
ty alone,'' said Mr.. sundean. "The ia
surgents did not have a fair show at
the convention, and, already, st. Paul
insul gents are working deal to bring
about the withdrawal Of Minnesota
Woodmen in body.
| "While the rate increase was v3ted
through by l53 majority, I am positive
that two-thirds of the delegates were
and are opposed to the plan. They
were simply overpowered.
GAS the leader Of the opposition I
do not blame any state for seeding,
because the administration forces would
not listen to any compromise, but fore
i ed it through. However, unless Wood.
men in given states are permitted un.
der the law to operate under lower
table of rates, We advise hten to stick
to the ship"

establishment of an independent Wood
man paper to be called The Kill the
Pill. he says he has already received
a number Of subscriptions.
