Douglas Agitated Over
 County Seat Removal

Douglas is sgitsted over the county i seat removal legislation and have just awakened to the fact that if any new law or revision oi present law is st- tempted by the legislature under the special legislative session call. same may be invalid From the Douglas Dispatch the following excerpt is tsk- en anent the county seat removal sgitation:-
 Does the passage relative to couus ties in Governor Hunts message mean that the legislature cap take up the question of county seat re- moval or county division at the ses' sion which opens February 8? "This is 6 question upon which local legal talent is much divided.
 "The message says in its twenty- seventh article, "To revise and amend the lave of this stste relative to counties and county ofbcers."
 Attorneys David Benshimol and Frank W DoaE hold that this would not, strictly speaking, include county seat revision
 "Attorneys A c Lockwood, John F Ross and H c Beumler cay that their opinion is that it would.
 Attorney Benshimol went deeper into the question than she others, all of whom gave "off-hsnd" opinions. He said:
 "'Appsrently Governor Hunt, in suggesting the revision of existing laws, has referred to various subjects of revision by title as they now appear in the revised statutes ot 1901. In the Revised Statutes, changing of county sests is apparently separate and distit ct subject from county af- fsire and county officers. AS it sp- pears nov, the changing of @ county seat is nothing move than a specisl election law. and might therefore come under the head Of elections. How- ever, it i. impossible to cay in what light the legislature will regard tho matter.
 "Attorney Dosn agreed with Mir BenshImol, although not going into the matter as deeply as the former.

To Raise Valuation
 of Taxable Property

"The order of the state tax com- mission to raise the valuation of all taxable property to basis of 100 per cent or full cash value, is sweeping one and concerns all tsxpsyers." said Assessor E A Hughes today. "The commissioners order on merchandise stock calls for sworn inventory of all stocks and listing of same at full cash value, snd same applies to prop er.y oI whatsoever kind or nature tangible or intangib.e," added the Assessor.
 "Wbst effect will the order have upon Cochiee vsluations7," guerried the reporter.
 "Cochise valuations have hereto fore been placed on the rolls on . basis of 50 per cent" replied the Assessor. "The order means double valuation. Whether same will work an injustice or no remains with the action of the legislature on valu- Atiors of mining property and rail. roads. The legislature has passed laws applying esnscislly to these val nations, the mine valuations now be- jag assessed on sd valnrum basis and il | these items are to be raised to cash value with the other property con- templsted ia the tax comm 'ssioner's order. chen no harm will come of 1t Otherwise the small taxpayer would be sbouldering the burden. It is up to the legislature to act on the mining and railroad assessments on the came basis" concluded the man wbo hs ndlet the Cocbise tax rolle.
 The total volnation of taxable prop erty in Cochise last year was $32 ,2S2,' 069 .53. The enforcement ot th, com missioners order might bripf Cochise valuations up to the hundred million mark.

MORE TROUBLE WITH LIGHTS.
Blinking Electric Lights Cause Lots of
Trouble for Kenosha People. Il

Kenosha people who burn electric
lights had more troubles of their own
on Monday night and many were fore
ed to go to bed early on account of
the failure of the lights to burn. They
started winking'' just before nine
clock and the trouble continued for
more than an hour. Theatre crowds
were dismissed on account Of lack Of
lights and at the Majestic Theatre the
patrons were given tickets with in
struction that they could be used at
any time. The Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company has expert engineers
at work at the plant and on the lines
in Kenosha and the promise Of perfect
service is still being handed out. 1t
is beginning to look as if an appeal to
the commission would be necessary in
order to get the plant in working
order.

Effort Being Made to Have
Council Act on Ordinance
Long in Files.
TO REGULATE BUILDINGS HERE

A new effort is being made to secure
city supervision of the erection OF
buildings in the city and to this end
an effort is being made to have the
building code drawn by experts repre-
senting various trades taken up by the
council and passed. The code was
drawn more than four years ago and a
commission composed of some Of the
best known contractors in the various
lines worked on the framing OF the
ordinance. The ordinance is one of
the longest ever sent to the council
and on account of its length there has
been lot of trouble to secure a prop
er consideration for it by the members
of the council. Chief of the fire de-
partment, Isermann, has taken up the
fight for the enacting of building
code and he sees demand for such
code at this time. He has promised
to use his influence to get the ordi-
nance properly before the council.
The ordinance was given one reading
by the common council more than
three years ago and this first reading
took up the better part of seven hours.
The length of the ordinance is being
urged against it and it is possible that
new committee will be named by the
common council to 60 over the ordi-
nance and make such amendments to
it as may seem proper and at the same
time reduce the length of it by about
one half. The commission which drew
the ordinance visited many cities and
took the best provisions from many
ordinances which had been in use in
these cities. The members Of the
council will be asked to make some
final disposition Of the ordinance be-
fore the close of the present winter.
