Announcement of future dates will certainly be looked forward 10 with a great deal of pleasure. and by reason of the high pleasure that has attended the entertainments to date there can be no doubt but that these of the future will receive even larger patronage. It might be added that the old time school house enter. tainments are very much worth while reyiving and that the example set by the Garces district people is one that might find copying among others, even in the towns, to good purpose

GOING INTO COURT
Arizona Building 6 Loan Associations Win Contest the New Law
 Taxing Their Shares

The Building and Loan associa- tions of Arizona are to resist the new state law which taxes on their stock instead of their property. Al of them have let their taxes go de- linquent and do not intend to pay till the county treasurers bring suit. says the Phoenix Democrat.
 R. II. Greene. president of the Homebuilders. of Phoenix. has been conferring with the attorney general and tax commission, trying to arrive at a compromise. The tax imposed on Homebuilders' stock amounts to about 34,0O0. Mir. Greene contends that the concern should be required to pay only a tax on it's property which is valued at some 5000. The property is not taxed.
 Residents of Peoria. Illinois, have put about S190,OcO into the Home builders. This money has been in vested in houses which have been sold on payments. The purchasers are now paying taxes on those houses. For the stock and the houses to be taxed is double taxa ton, declares Greene.
 Greene declares that number of his Peoria stockholders have threatened to withdraw from tSe Homebuiiders if the company Is forced to pay a stock tax in Ari- zona. They have the right to withdraw at any time after year. Other companies are facing the prospect of losing many of their heaviest stockholders, he declares. He has been in communication with 8 number of them.
 The law is plain and the asses sors. treasurers and tax commis- sioners can do nothing except fol low 1t. The chances are that the matter will be threshed out in the courts.
