Correspondence tells us that the tan
60 and other new tangled hectic dances
are not likely to make much Roadway
in Houlton in the future, the members
of the Catholic parish no longer coun-
tenancing them, as result of the re-
cent prohibition issued by the Vatican.
The fact that the ban has been placed
on hectic dancing by the church has
been made known by FIR. Silke to the
members of his parish with the result
that this form of amusement is to be
dropped in the future. Several of the
other local churches are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of some similar action.

Give Us a Mine Taxing Law

There are two mine taxing bills before the leg

would not vastly different in the result of their
application. 1t is said that the providing for
the lowest assessment, the Graham bill, would give
the state mine valuation for purposes of taxation
about $lO5OOOOOO against s45OOOOOO last year. The
other bill would increase the valuation somewhat
beyond this figure
Both these bills fix a basis of valuation consid
eraby in excess of basis that would be fixed
by the percentages suggested by the mine
ayers at their conference with the commission
last fall but those rates regarded only tenta

slature would adopt them Since then. attempt

the most important purposes for which it call

We will venture the further prediction that
less there shall be enacted definite mine taxing

revenue we ought receive from the mines.
We believe that if the Legislature adjourns
without the enactment of such law, the people
win hold it account, more for that failure than

his power of reprieve, pardon and Communication of

the meeting that the people of Yavapai county
feel strongly this subject, the
that they have had convicts in the penitentary
for months, awaiting death, but whose lives have
been extended by a succession reprieves.
The meeting ostensbly protest
against the governor but rather encourage
the legislature to stand firm in favor of the penal
code pass it, objections of governor
thereto, notwithstanding.
We believe that in this controversy between the

wrong. though have doubt that he honestly
