APPEARS IN new FORM.
Democrat and News Changes to
Eight Pages-A Decided Improve
ment Over the Old Size.

With this weeks issue the make
up of the Democrat and News, ouI
esteemed contemporary, has been
changed from four-page, nine-col-
umn paper, to eight pages, of sew
en- columns each. The change Is
a marked improvements our iudg-
ment, over the style of sheet for
merly used, and will undoubtedly
appeal to its readers. The paper
will be more easily handled,as the
former size was unusually large
but the greatest improvement oil
all will be. the increased room for
reading matter, much of which, in
the past, had been crowded out by
the large volume of advertising car
ried =
With this weeks issue, the first
page of the paper is devoted ex-
clusively to reading matter of To-
cal interest, no advertising of any
character appearing upon it, and
this feature, too, will, we think,
appeal to the readers.
We heartily congratulate our bro
Their editor upon the Improvement,
and express the belief that he will
never have occasion to regret the
change, but will find it popular
and more profitable.

Sept. II. 1913.
Editor Of The Banner:
Sir.-This is Defenders Day.
There is IA thrill of patriotism
arises within US, and sincere rev
erence for our brave ancestors, who
so nobly protected our State and
our flag from the enemy, as far
back as the year of 1912, controls
us. We appreciate the fact that
civilized nations suppress wars by
arbitration. and no longer do we
fear that an opponent may ievas-
tate our land and destroy our lives.
But are we firmly protected
against the forces of evil? De we
take every precaution to prevent
the growth OF this horrible MOP
ster? We stand by our flag; dc
we stand by our Bible? In the
public schools, the students are
taught literature, and the works OF
Shakespeare, Bacon, Poe, Lanier,
and such noted authors are given
special attention. Wonderful and
inspiring as may be the works OF
these writer's, they cannot compare
with the book which is recognized
by Christians as the greatest book
in the world.
The public school system is the
backbone of the United States, and
if the reading of the Bible and
the recital of the Lords Prayer are
abolished, it is sadly neglecting the
spiritual education of the hundreds
of children, some of whom never
say prayer except upon these oc'
casions.
1t may be quite true that the
assembly hall of the Cambridge
High School is needed badly in or
der to accommodate the mass OF
students enrolled. 1t is quite i'm
portant that there should be NJ
crowded rooms. and the idea o.
converting the assembly hall int
| two rooms is very wise one.
This, however, should not hinde1
opening exercises in the classrooms
1t takes but a few minutes to con
duct these services, and no on
knows the good they do. Here il
an instance where some of ou
local Bible Societies might use thef
influence to remedy this flaw.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Mcssrs. George w. Woolford and
Steel Cook Picked up at Mouth
of River by Steamer Talbot.

While returning from the West
been on a business trip, the en-
sine III the motor launch Venus. in
which the trip was being made, be-
came disabled last night near the
mouth of the river, with the result
that the boat was completely at
the mercy of the wind and tide,
and had they not been picked up
by the steamer Talbot, of the B.,
C. & A line, their position might
have been desperate.
Mr.. Woolford left Wednesday
for the Western Shore, making the
trip in the Venus, which was in
charge of Capt Steele Cook, of
this city. They were making the
return trip last night, when the
engine began to work badly, and
in short time stopped By this
time, however, they had worked
across the bay and were directly in
the channel of the bay boats, so
that the chances of being picked
up were very much better than if
they had been caught in some 9TH
er portion.
There was strong wind blow
ing at the time, and the boat was
tossed about considerably, but for
tunately for them, the steamer Tai
bot came along before they had
been adrift long, and picked them
up, towing the boat into harbor,
where it arrived about noon today.
The line with which the boat was
being towed broke several times
during the trip, causing the delay
of several hours.

IMPORTANT DECISION
 IN TAX LEVY CASE
Counties May Levy Sufficiently High to Bring income to 10 Per Cent
 Over Previous Year

The decision of Attorney General Bullard, relative to raisting taxes and the increase in taxes that any coun- ty may make over the amount raised the year previous, handed down at the hearing of the Greenlee county representative and the shannon Cop per company of that county, before the tax commission yesterday, has it's bearing on this city as well as on the rest of the state, and will be of especial interest at this time.
 The reduction applied for by the shannon company, of which J. w. Bonnie, general manager, Judge k. w. Lewis, attorney and H. E. Brew . baker, ex-county auditor of Greenlee, were the representative before the commission, was a reduction of the levy fer all county purposes on the ground that the board of supervisors of the county had oVer-levied.
 Greenlee county, represented by A. L. Terry, clerk of the board of super visors of the county, cOntended that they had the right to make ten per cent increase on all levies of last year, and that therefore their levy is not contrary to the provisions of the last and new tax pill, passed at the last sitting of the legislature.
 In order to come to an understand ing and to have some grounds for the settling of the dispute the matter was turned over to the attorney general with the request that he make a ruling as to the amount of taxes a county might raise in excess of the preceding years levy. Attor- ney General BuLard stated in his opinion that any taxing district may levy to raise ten per cent more mon ey than their income from all sour ces except schools, for the previous year."
 As came out in the hearing held yesterday, the decision Of the attor- hey general upheld neither of the contentious presented to the commls- sion, but it did come nearer uphold ing the contention of the county than that of the shannon company. It settled the matter as to what leV1es the ten per cent clause pertains to, and had not the county authorities levied an increase on the school funds of last year, they would have been entirely in the right.
 The commission will order the board of supervisors of Greenlee to accept payment of taxes in such sums as should have been collected had there been no excessive levy, and to remit all that which is excessive according to the provisions of the law.
 The issuance of this order greatly enhances the work of the commission, since it precludes making a new levy by the board of supervisors of the county. It is the most important de- cision handed down in the tax com mission in some time, having direct bearing on local conditions which have bothered the Phoenix assessors for some time and which have held up their work pending decision oc the matter.

 Traffic was badly delayed on this branch of the A F. railroad Friday by a small but very annoying wreck a few yards east of the depot here. The train crew from the yards at the junction were engaged in placing few cars at the depot here when the rails spread under a heavily laden car, causing the trucks to be torn loose at one end and shifted to the center of the car, allowing the wrecked end to fall to the track This happened about the middle of the forenoon and it required the rest of the day and a few hours after night-fall to get the track cleared. The passenger train was unable to get by to proceed to Winkelman and returned to Phoenix from here, after sending passengers and mail to Win kelman by stage.
