CAN BOXING Be
REGULATED BY
THE CITY?
INTERESTING QUERY A
RISES ON STRENGTH OF
LIBERAL CHARTER POS
SESSED HERE
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Can the city regulate boxing?
This is the interesting query go
ing the rounds of sporting circles
in Prescott today.
Offhand, the mere suggestion OF
rebellion against State authority ap-
pears ridiculous. Deeper fathoming
however, shows that the city coun.
Gil might, with perfect respect tc
its own privileges, pass an ordi
nance permitting boxing exhibitions
OF course, a great deal depend;
upon the city council in this respect
Also, the ultimate decision in the
present case may be determined il
favor of the boxing fraternity. II
such an event, interference by thu
city would be unnecessary. But
as is usual, the "diggers" are fonC
of looking ahead and considering
the question from every angle.
Prescott's city charter is iron
clad. In other words, when Pres
colt received its charter a number
of special privileges were grantee
her. Every few months during
the past year the city council ant
legislative bodies or State govern
ment boards have INDUCED in a lit
tie clash. Prescott with its spe
cial privileges usually has come on
upon top, exercising the liberty t,
do almost as it thought best, re

State law

manner deemed best here. Can she

1t is interesting to note that tn,

in the campaign against the loca
game, has been conducting a thor

TO DO AWAY WITH
FREE TEXT BOOKS

At the regular meeting held Mon
day night of the current week the
Board of Education unanimously pas
sed motion effecting the High
School text book proposition. The
regulation is as follows:
ut is hereby ordered that, begin
ming with next school year, the pupils
of the High School shall be required
to deposit the cost of all new text
books, plus the present value of all
books that have been used and when
they have finished with the books they
shall be credited or paid the value of
the same when delivered to the super
intendent."
This matter was not hastily taken
up. 1t has been discussed at various
times by the board. The motion, as
it finally passed, was made one month
ago and was postponed to be taken
up at the following regular meeting.
Further investigation in the matter of
handling text books in the various
schools of the state working under
similar conditions was made during
this interim. There are arguments in
favor of the free text book idea but
there are likewise strong arguments
against it. These things have all been
carefully considered by the board and
the final action Is believed to be in the
right direction. Such a recommends
ton will protect the district-that is,
the tax payer generally-against the
useless wear and tear given books
under the free text book plan. An
ordinary text hook should give AZ
least three years service. At least Is
per cent of the annual cost of text
books when furnished by the district
could be saved if the same care were
given the books under the free text
book plan that will be ultimately
given them when owned individually.
The deposite plan, as comprehended
in the regulation passed by the board
of education, simply effectively fixes
responsibility for the care of the books
where it should be-with the individ-
ais using them.

ever attending these annual exercises.
The parade in the morning was
big success and created considerable
furore amonge the gentle citizens. At

welcome after which the folk dances
and the May Pole occupied the center
of attention. The dances were ar
ranged by Miss Case and were ex-
ceedingly we'll done, the graceful fig
ures of the young girls swaying in
and out forming the many intricate
and beautiful figures of the dances,
presenting a beautiful spectacle.
At noon the whole assemblage were
guests of the students at Voorhees,
Hall.
In the evening the big auditorium
of Sterry Hall was simply packed with
the friends of the College to see the
different class Stunts" These were
exceedingly we'll planned and brought
forth rounds of applause when some
particular stunt would appeal to the
spectators.

difficulty in obtaining any other kind

COLLEGE TWICE DEFEATS
ACADEMY OF IDAHO

Thursday and Friday of last week
the College boys took the Academy
of Idaho lads to defeat in fast games.
In the first game the visiting pitcher
proved wild issuing six passes and
hitting three men, striking two. The
game was we'll contested and went to
ten innings, resulting in a score of
4 to 2. Buntrock pitched a splendid
game with fairly good support.
In the last game Alexander was
invulnerable. He allowed but one
pass and two hits, one of which was
scratchy. Bortogi, for the Academy,
was wild and his support was off
color.
Both games were we'll attended and
proved most interesting. Parma is
supporting the College ball team this
season and comes down in full force
for every game.
