The people of Arizona during the past six months have been inflict- ed with articles in the newspaper organ at Phoenix, supposed to be the mouthpiece of the Hunt admin istration, bitterly assailing "tax- dodgers" and particularly certain corporations in Yavapai county.
 It is very interesting therefore to note the fact that the Old Dominion Company at Globe, was in the past few days sold, (that is the controll- ing interest of the company) for the sum of S225,000 It is more inter esting to note that George Wash ington P Hunt, Governor of the State of Arizona, was the man who sold this self-same controlling in terest in the aforesaid company.
 But what is more vital in view of the loud wall that is has been made against "tax-dodgers" IS the amount for which the company, controlled for many years by the Governor, was assessed.
