M. & M. OBJECT ID
 DOUBLE TAXATION
Will Send Delegation to Board of Free holders to Have Charter so Drafted
 as to Prohibit Licenses for Revenue.

The merchants and manufacturers association decided last night at the regular meeting of the organization to send d strong delegation of business men of Phoenix to the next meeting of the board of freeholders, now engaged ln framing q charter for Phoenix pro- testing against the proposition of col Iecting licenses by the city for the pur- poses of revenue. w. L. Pinney will head the delegation which will be com posed of not less than fifty business men of the city,
 President Dienl drew the attention of the membership, which gathered after the mass meeting on the street car sit nation, to the fact that the merchants were paying lot of money for licenses which he believed to be unfair since it amounted to double taxation.
 w. s. Humbert said that the annual license fees for Phoenix collected from the merchants of the city amounted to $2S,0O0 and that it was unquestionabIy as much for revenue as for regulation that the licenses were being collected He said that the charter ought to con- tain the words, The common council may have the power to collect licenses for regulation", but that the last half Of the phrase as at present existing, and for revenue, ought to be cut out. The majority of the members agreed with him and the decision was arrived at as stated above. w. L. Pinney was chosen chairman of the committee.
 Between the mass meeting and the meeting of the NJ. & NJ. Bludwine was served to all present by the manufac- turers of that beverage here

PROLOGUE.

Stand up, Danny, and take
your place 4ongside Of Huckle-
berry Finn and Ton, Sawyer and
Plupy Shute and the other real
boys we've read about. That's
what you feel like saying when
you read this story Of Danny.
He's Huck Finn over again, with
modern Improvements, and his
daddy, who has written Danny's
own story in Danny's own words,
gets a place at the side of Mark
Twain. Besides Danny, there are
some real live people in this
story-enough Of them to make
good reading matter for half a
dozen books. No one can tell you
how good "Danny's Own Story"
is. You have to read it for your
self to get the delicious flavor OF
the hunor and pathos and frag-
edy the essence Of life, that is
soaked into every page.
