TAXATION LAWS
DRIVING OUT
INVESTORS
Manager of the Swastika
Condemns Present
Mining Measure.
(From Saturdays Daily

F. w. Wood, general manager of
the Swastika Development Company,
returned to Los Angeles yesterday
after an examination of the proper
ties in the Bradshaw mountains, and
expressed himself as satisfied with
his holdings.
Production continues, and the in
dications are that regular shipments
of the high grade silver ores will be
maintained in the future. This cor
poration revived the Black Warrior
and Silver Prince mines after nearly
a quarter of a century of idlenesS,
and according to the report filed
with the State Tax Commission, the
gross production for last year reach
ed the sum of over $4,000. Not
withstanding this favorable showing,
Mr.. Wood, however, is emphatic in
condemning the principles that pre-
vail in taking mines of this class,
which he maintains are yet in their
infancy. Another disagreeable con-
dition has also arisen, in which he
states outside capital, under. the
severe restrictions imposed in tax
ing mining claims of the productive
class, will be prohibited from becom-
ing interested in the future. Verify
ing this stand, he specifically men
toned the investigations recently
made by a California investor who
accompanied him to a certain prop
erty. The investment from a min
ing standpoint was attractive, but
the mine assessment laws were re-
garded as so unjust and so exacting
that the willing investor left the
country and would not enter into
negotiations for taking over and
operating the property under condi-
tons that are legally imposed in
fixing the assessed value at a greater
figure than what the gross output
indicates.
This method, Mr.. Wood contends,
is nothing more nor less than strang-
ling an industry that must depend
upon outside capital to bring into
a productive state. and to be made
a successful proposition.

YOUTHFULFORGER
LANDS IN TOLLS
Of THE LAW
Initiates Signature Of
Mining Man and Gets
Check CaShed.
(From Saturdays Daily

More easy money was secured in
this city on Wednesday afternoon,
when an apparently unsophisticated
youth secured the sum of SOS from
the Prescott National Bank via the
forgery game.
The boy who secured this sum
gave his name as B. H. Moon, and
when he presented the piece of
paper that bore the forged signature
of n. H. Getchell, superintendent of
the Y-P Mining Company. the coin
was forthcoming.
Moon blew into town the day be-
fore the transaction took place. 1t
was learned yesterday that he is but
seventeen years of age, and his per-
manent residence, under a sentence
of the court, was the lone, Califor-
MIA, reform school for striplings that
need to be herded and trained to
travel the path of rectitude instead
of a criminal trail.
Young Moon, Immediately after
the transaction, treked to the depot
and boarding the northbound train
at | 40, was speeding toward Ash
Fork and thence was destined to go
to the limit Of his financial re-
sources. His flight was intercepted
at Flagstaff that night, and he was
lodged in the county Jail yesterday
morning at 8 o'clock
During the brief residence of Moon
in this city he was very observing
of arrivals at a certain hotel, and
his scrutiny of the chirography of
the register, with what tips he had
stored up as to their financial rating
in these parts, made his game
lead pipe cinch" His forgery was
neatly executed, and instead of going
down the line with a profusion of
small checks. he played the game
single and the cards broke his way,
for the time being, at least. Under
the Arizona statute, Moon will prob
ably be sent to the reform school
haven in the south, provided he can
prove his age as only seventeen.

OF
JUSTICE PEACE
ATTACKED
ClaimedHe Had noRight
To Impose Fine In
The Davis Case.
(From Saturdays Daily

Habeas corpus proceedings were
instituted in the Superior Court yes
terday to secure the release of Ish
Davis from the county jail, for the
alleged violation of the celebrated
limit law, but which issue, however,
figures but incidentally in the action
instituted to secure the freedom of
the man interested.
Davis, according to the statement
made by his attorney yesterday, and
which is supported by the complaint
filed, was fined $3.50 for renting to
a woman of ill-fame, a certain prop
erty in the town of Mayer, situated
within 400 yards of the public school
building. His release is asked on
the ground that the Justice of the
Peace who imposed the above penalty
and ordered the amount to be paid,
or the offender to serve six months
in the county jail in default of that
amount, exceeded his jurisdiction and
did not have the right to impose
such a penalty under the statutes,
or to exercise that power which
properly belongs to the higher
court.
Davis, after being found guilty
by the Justice of the Peace, refused
to pay the fine, when he was brought
to the county jail in this city to
serve the time designated. The case
will be heard on Monday. on the
issues designated in the habeas
corpus action instituted.

GLOBE COMPLAINS OF
PHONE AND CHARGES

PHOENIX, July 15.-In two COM
plants filed before the Arizona Cor
poration Commission by the Mayor
and City Council of Globe, the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graQh Company and the Globe
Light and Power Company are
taken to task for the rates that are
being charged the residents and
consumers of Globe for the two
public utilities.
1t is claimed in the complaint
against the telephone company that
the orders of the Corporation Com
mission in the matter of rates are
not being complied with The COM
plant states that in No. l9, effect
i've January /, 1913, the commission
adjudged that Globe should be con-
sidered in the A Class of cities, and
that the rates should be per annum.
S48 for business phones, $50 for one
party residence, $50 for two party
lines, and S24 for four party lines.
1t is claimed that instead of these
rates the company has been collect
in violation of the order, $3.50 per
month for the business phones, or
S54 per year, and $50 for four party
line phones. 1t is requested that a
hearing in the case be had. and that
reparation be ordered.
In the case of the light and power
company it is claimed that rates are
largely in excess of those charged by
other public utility companies in the
cities in the State. The charge is
practically a minimum in excess Vi
that charged anywhere else in the
State; it is alleged in that the COM
pany charges 20 cents per kilowatt
for the first fifty kilowatts. and then
on graduates the charge according
to the amount of current used. In
the gas rates the charge is 81 per
thousand cubic feet up to 10000 and
graduated down according to the
amount used, and that a deposit of
$40 rs required.
1t is alleged that determinations
occur in the business that is trans
acted and that these are contrary TO
the form and effect of the statutes
in such cases made and provided.
The commission is asked to take i'm
mediate notice of the situation and
grant the needed relief as soon as
possible. The names signed to the
complaints are G. w. NJ Carvel,
Mayor; A. w. Syndor, l. o. Low

BOND ISSUE rs AT
Tackled ON NEW POINT
(From Fridays Daily

Ash Fork is again in the legal
limelight, all on account of the recent
bond election that was held to secure
funds with which to build a new
school house, another suit being
docketed in the Superior Court yes
terday. in which an injunction is
desired to restrain certain defend
ants from purchasing a new site on
which to erect a new school house.
According to the complaint filed
by John E. Fagerberg and the Bah
bitt-Poulson Company, the plaintiffs,
against F. o. Twitty, w. D. Wash
ington and Chester Dickerson, the
school trustees of that district, the
allegation is made that in the call
for the bond election of last March
no reference whatever was made in
the same that the question of chang
ing or securing a new site for the
school house was contemplated.
That the site proposed for the
new school house is far from the
present one, and the price to be paid
is excessive and a wasteful DISPOSE
ton OF public moneys; that the S.
F., P. & P. railway has offered and
still offers to said district, free of
charge, an ample school site, are
some of the allegations made
Plaintiffs pray that a temporary in
junction be issued forthwith to
restrain the trustees from applying
the sum of $1,000 to be derived from
bonds to be issued, toward carrying
out their intentions to erect a new
building or in changing the site of
the school building. as is desired.
Behind this litigation is silently
associated the old sore of the INIT
law, in which public institutions and
houses of ill-fame is the bone of the
controversy. This is the second suit
filed in the Superior Court covering
this vexatious question, the first one
as yet being undecided, and to be
heard soon on its merits, after under
going the usual procedure of de-
murrers interjected, cross complaints
and amended answers to the original
issues. Clark & Tascher represent
plaintiffs in the new developments
that have arisen.

where by me or by my family. Still,
if I could aid the cause of Carranza
by sending him money he could cheer
