The Ornery Poll Tax

There is no excuse Tor the head
tax. 1t is nuisance and an in
Justice. 1t is as irrita ting as the
itch, as unsatisfactory as an un
kissed kiss; and morally it smells
worse than a pole pussy. 1t does
not light equally on all alike. 1t
Jumps about like a flea on a hot
pan, and misses six to sting one.
But 1T never overlOoks two bets.
Laboring men and Cinnamon
look alike to it, and it will go
past seven rich men to harpO on
a poor devil in overalls. 1t is too
mean to associate with the ticks
on a yellow dog, and will rob a
workingman's lunch pail or steal
the milk bottle from the baby's
cradle. Honest assessors hate it;
and grating assessors beg it to
marry them and try to breed
something as profitable as 1t is,
and as ornery as both of them.
Let's kick it to death this time.

CARDINALS DEFEAT
The SHOP men

Last Sunday afternoon the
WinsloW Cardinals and the San
ia Fe Shop Team played the first
game of the season, the Cardi-
mails getting away with the hon
ors. Considering that it was the
first game of the year both teams
did very good work and with a
little more practice and hard
work on both teams they will be
able to furnish some classy ball
to the lovers of that sport this
year. The batting on both sides
was very good and twlrler Jos.
Daze held the shop men down
pretty well. A large crowd wit
messed the game and the receipts
were most gratifying to the
boys.
The parade to the ball grounds
started from the band stand ON
Front Street headed by Mayor
Burbage and other prominent
citizens in an auto, followed by
the Boys Band, then cowboys
on horse back and then the fam
Gus Pioneer Band, consisting of
T. !. Hesser and Major John
Donahue. Both bands fnrnlshed
music while the game was pro.
crossing Mayor w. H. Burbage
tossed the first ball over the

PROTEST AGAINST
SLOAN FOR JUDGE

Phoenix, Ariz. March 19.- A
memorial resolution protesting
against confirmation of Presi-
dent Taft's appointment of ex-
Governor Richard E. Sloan as
United States district Judge for
Arizona and addressed to the
United States senate, was adopt
ed by the Arizona state senate
here today.
The senate resolution refers to
the alleged active dart Sloan
took against the adoption OF
the state constitution and charg
es him with irregularities as for
mer district judge and governor,
The sessions of both the state
senate and the house today were
occupied almost wholly with or
ganizations of committees and
other routine work.
The new states of Arizona and
New Mexico exchanged telegra-
phic fluctuations this afternoon.
The recall and equal suffrage
amendments to the constitution,
it is expected, will occupy most
of tomorrow session.

CEARY CHAIRMAN COR
PORATION COMMISSION

With the selection of w. P.
Geary as chairman and A. W.
Cole as secretary the final Orga-
nization OF the new corporation
commission was perfected.
In addition to presiding over
the meetings of the commission,
Mr. Geary will also act as the
legal adviser of the body IN all
matters coming before it.
The corporation commission,
although but young body, has
already taken an active grip
upon affairs, and through their
efforts great good will be done
for the people of the state. No
better men for the position could
have been found in the entire
state than w. P. Geary, A. w
Cole and F. A Jones.
The corporation commission
is now busy preparing legislation
that will be necessary before the
constitution as applied to the
commission, will become affect
i've. These necessary measures
will be drafted at once and pre-
sented to the legislature at an
early date in the form of bills, fo1
passage, said Chairman Geary
today.
CAT the present time we are
rather in the position of a ship
without a rudder. The commits.
sion is organized and ready fo1
business, but a number of legal
details regarding our duties ard
powers must be taken care of by
the Legislature before we can pro-
ceed to business to any extent.

GOVERNORS MESS
AGE TO LEGISLATURE

Phoenix, Ariz., March 19.-
The first message of George W.
P. Hunt was read to Arizona S
first state legislature today. 1t
called attention to the fact that
Arizona had voted favorably on
two occasions to adopt the re-
call Of judges, and continues;
"Their wishes were set at
naught by President Taft's un-
Willingness to yield a prejudice,
but they were secure in the know
ledge that with statehood once
attained and with the initiative
at their command they Would
have it in their hands to restore
to the constitution the power SO
rudely taken away"
A drastice anti-lobbying law,
in couformance with a mandate
Of the constitution adjourned to
pass a res solution prohibiting all
secret lobbying during the pre-
sent session.
Although noncommital on the
enfranchlshment of women, the
message recommended the sub
mission to the people ofan equal
suffrage amendment.
Free text books were advocat-
ed and the legislature was asked
to consider the question of old
age pensions for Arizonans
"either men or women, whose
years of residence and devotion
to our territory's cause, through
the period of it's greatest trail,
have failed to provide them with
the means of easing their declin-
AhS yNoio
The legislators were also uig-
ed to pass law requiring each
newspaper in Arizona to publish
in every issue "a full and com
plete list of it's owners, and stock
holders and holders of securities
in whatever. form they may ex-
ist."
A compulsory compensation
law for workmen and an en-
ployes' liability law, along lines
laid down by the constitution;
an eight hour day for all classes
of labor, abolition of the employ
ers' "black list" and the creation
of an arbitration board to set
tie industrial disputes were
among the measures recommen-
ded under the head OF labor.

FORFEITURE OF RESER-
VOIR site IS ASKED

An important action to have
a reservoir site in northern Ari-
.zona granted to the Farm and
Fireside company in September,
1895, was declared forfeited, was
begun IN the United States Dis
trict Court today by Attorney
Joseph E. Morrison represent
ing the government.
Suit is brought by the govern
ment against the Farm and Fire
side company, having It's head
offices at Holbrook, and its pre-
sident, Stephen Folsom of Trini-
dad, Colo. 1t is claimed that
since more than five years have
elapsed ana the project has not
been carried out, the reservoir
site granted to the company is
again the property of the United
States.
The site was granted to Fol
som and to William Claff1in.
Clafflln transferred his interests
to Oscar L. Merrill in 1897 and
Merrill sold out to the company.
Judge William W. Morrow is
sued an order to Folsom to ap-
pear in the court May 13 to an
swer the governments com
plant.
The Importance of this action
lies in the fact that the reserv Dir
site is a feasible and therefore
valuable one. A number of per-
sons desire to utilize it.
Judge Morrow this morning
admitted the following lawyers
to practice before this court: w.
F. Sellers, Reese M. Ling, l. J.
Lipsohn, Phoenix. Lirke T.
Moore, S. L. Kingan, Tucson.
Robert E. Morrison, John J.
Hawkins, J E. Russell, Prescott.
Tomorrow will be given over
to hearing of naturaliz tion
matters. Frederick Jones, Unit
ed States naturalization examin-
er for this district. arrived in the
city today for tomorrow's ses-
sion.-Phoenix Democrat.
The site referred to is now
known as Folom's Dam across
Jacks Canyon, a few miles in a
southerly direction from Wins
low. The reservoir at present is
completely filled with mud and
apparently the entire project is
of no value to anyone.

UNKNOWN MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE

Yesterday afternoon an elderly
man was found by an Indian on
one of the sand hills near the ice
house. The position and the
condition he was found in look
ed like a plain case of suicide. A
thirty-thirty rifle between his legs
with which he no doubt fired the
fatal bullet that tore off the top
of his head, scattering his brains,
scalp and skull, pieces of it being
found quite a distance from the
body.
Officer Bledsoe, after viewing
the remains, notified Justice
Waite and jury was immediate
ly summoned.
The following men acted as
the coroner's jury: w. G. Kelly,
E. T. sherwood, Frank Flicken.
ger, ]. A. Apple, Lon King and
H. D kavanaugh.
The Justice of the Peace who
always acts as coroner in such
cases not having the time to be
present at the inquest deputized
the City Marshall Bledsoe as ac-
ting, but before the marshal and
the jury arrived at at place the
Justice informed Undertaken
Parr to remove the remains,
consequently the jnry could
make no report, aside of e state
ment made by Foreman Kelly
that under the circumstances
that the jury was unable to
view the remains they (the jurv)
did not know whether it was
accidental death. suicide, wheth-
er it was man women or animal,
Such is the case as. It now
stands, the body is at the NOR
que at the present time IN charge
of Undertaken Parr'
The man came to town about
four or five days ago, and from
his looks seems to be either a
trapper or prospector.
Later reports have it that the
dead man is VIM. McClintock
son of John McClintock who in
former years was engaged here
in the horse business. The dead
man is said to have a brother

DOVE HARTON PRINCIPALS
LEAVE FOR GEORGIA.

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. d. o. Harton, at 10
O'Clock this morning, Miss Dove Har-
ton and Prof. Thomas S. Staples were
united in the holy bonds of wedlock,
Rev. E. r. Steel of the Methodist
church officiating.
For the occasion the home was
beautifully decorated in Christmas
greens, with a profusion of holly and
cut-fowers artistically placed An
arch of ivy, with love-knots of tulle,
marked the place of ceremony. Mrs.
A. A. Hinton sang "To the End of the
World with Yau" and THE Hours
that Gave Me You," with piano and
violin accompaniment by Misses
Laura and Sallie Harton, before the
ceremony. To the strains of Mendels-
sohn's Wedding March, played by the
Misses Harton, the bridal party
entered, first the ring-bearer, little
Elizabeth Harton, sister of the bride,
daintily clad in white, bearing the
ring in tiny bunch of valley lilies,
then the bride and groom The bride
was becomingly gowned in a blue
cloth coat suit with hat and gloves to
match, and wore a corsage bouquet of
lilies of the valley and white roses.
After the ceremony delicious cream
and cake were served, and the happy
couple left on the II o'clock train for
Carrolton, Ga, where they will visit
Mr. Staples former home. They will
return early in January and will be
at home at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. T, Buchholz.
Although the wedding was a very
quiet affair, with only relatives and
very few friends to witness it, the
popularity of the couple was attested
which they received.
Mrs. Staples is one of Conway's So
cial favorites, greatly beloved by a
large circle of friends. Prof. Staples
has held the chair of history in Hen
dirk College for some time, and is to
be congratulated upon having won
such a charming young woman for his
life companion.
