RAILROADS TO PAY
S23O.O0O MORE
IN TAXES
Due to Changes In Law and In
Appraisal
NEW VALUATION COMPLETED
Board of Appeals Raised the Apprai-
sal Nearly Five Millions From
cushman Figures.

Montpelier, April 5.-The board OF
appeal on the valuation OF railroad
and other transportation company
property completed It's work last
night and the members returned TO
their homes today.
The appraisal made by the board OF
the property of the transportation
companies is $44,3S7,225. This is an
increase of $4,7S1,3 $3.50 over the apprais
81 made by Tax Commissioner J. r.
Cushman last December, but 1t should
be borne in mind that the Cushman
appraisal was made pro forma with
out hearing on the taking of evidence.
This new appraisal made by the
board is the first ever made IN the
state of railroad company property
after a hearing on each case.
The tax on railroad property Is
$3.50 per thousand, so that the tax
assessed under this appraisal will be
s554S4O. This is practically S60,OO0
more than it would have been under
the Cushman appraisal and is $780,
600 more than the railroads paid I'M
der the former system under Wnlch
they had the option OF paying on
gross earnings.
The board of appeals which heard
the cases and made the new apprais-
al was composed of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Frank f. Howe, Secretary OF
State Guy w. Bailey and State Audi
tor Horace F. Graham. This board
has been hearing evidence and ar
gument at the statehouse for nearly
month. The effect of the appeals
by the state was to vocate the apprais
ais made by the former tax commits
sioner, so that the board had to make
new appraisal each case and In
many cases this does not airy much
from Mr.. Cushman's figures.
The principle increase in valuation
ware the following:

 $75,OOO for Roads

The board of supervisors are in ses- sion today to consider the exrense budget of the county government for the coming year ss provided for by law.
 There are . number of road en- thusias,s before the board today, be- cider . plumber of communications i, ssking that the appropriation for the county roads be increased from &5O,- 900 to between $75, 900 and $IOO, ,O0p, maintaining that with the expendi- ture of same, the cost of eub.equen, upseep will be greatly ' duced.
 The matter is nnde. ccr.ide...:c: this afternoon by the board, and it is thought that the appropriation is likely to be made.
 The supervisors will meet again next Monday, August 18th. when the tex rate for Cochise will be fixed, which, it is thought will not exceed $l.10. psading the etats rate
 Among the matters under consiier. tion of the budget, before the board today gre as follows:-

Board of Pardons
 Act is Referred

In addition 10 ths bills that have b en referred to the people by the process outlined by the constitution since the last legislature the friends of Governor Hunt secured sufficient signatures 10 referendum pe i,ions to hold up the enforcement of that DOT. tion of the penal code, to which he took objection at the time the ssme wac psssed by the state Legislature, and which the legislature promptly passed over his veto. Since the ad |. journment of the legislature work has been done securing some thirteen hundred sisners. to the referendum.
 Only l070 were needed that nun ber being 5 per cent of the vote cast for governor at the las. election.
 The sections in the penal code to which Governor Hunt objects gre those providing for the organization of board of pardon aud parole for prisoners. The bill arbitrarily takes tbe appointment of :this board from the governor and provides that the pardoning power shall be vested in three persons, the attorney general, the superintendents of public instruc- tion and ss third to be chosen by them.

School of Mines
 For Benson

A state school of mines is the name that was adopted by the citizens to sp. ply to the school of mines that they are planning for with the removal of all the boys from the Reform school at Benson which will take place soon.
 lhe Benson SigoaI says:- "This building, with grounds, cost the citi- zens of Arizons in the neighborhood oi slO0,O0O. With she removal of the Reform school to the new quarters donated by the national government at Fort Grant. this large and costly building will become idle, sn un. profitable and unrealizsble state asset, What then should be done with it?
 "A number of Benson's most promi. nent cit'zens are strongly in favor of the establishment here of the long desired and greatly needed stste school of miues. And school of mines it will be too. Where could . better location be found than in Cochise and where in the county . more suitable location than Benson, with the added inducement of suit able building already provided2"

William mcPherson
 Has Narrow Escape

William McPherson had . narrow escape from death thie morning when one of the large ore wagons Of the
 McPheson Company was overturned near the Lucky Cuss mine The wagon wac loaded with ore and being hauled to the loading platform when q bad piece of road was struck; the l2 horses could no. be swung into posi- ton in time and the first ore wagon overturned. McPherson was struck by one wbeel and was badly bruised, his hip injured in the fall, and barely missing being crushed to death under the loaded wagon. I. is thought the injuries sustained will not prove ser- ious. The pcpula- young man i. be- Ing congratulated by his friends on his narrow escspe from death.
