NO MORE BOOZE IN
ARIZONA AFTER TONIGHT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 3l-At mid
night the bartenders in every saloon
in Arizona will set out the bottles
and refill the glasses for the last time,
for with the coming of 1915 Arizona,
the he ,rt of the onee "Wild and
Woolly Vest will become "dry."
A constitutional amendment, en-
dorsed by the voters of the state, 40
per centof whom are women, was the
instrument by which the change was
affected A comfortable majority was
established at the November election
by the prohibition forces in spite OF
the effo.ts of the liquor interests. The
amendment is self-operative, and car

TAXPAYERS Will
FILE SUIT SATURDAY

The Humboldt County Taxpayers
association has retained the law firm
of Hoyt, Gibbons & French to repre-
sent it in it's endeavor to obtain re-
lief from the arbitrary and outrage
GUS assessments inflicted upon its
members bv the state tax commission.
Judge French was in town yesterday,
gathering his data upon which to base
an action at law, and stated that suit
will be fled in the District Court here
Saturday.
As a probable basis for the suit, to-
day a number of the county's heavi-
est taxpayers made a tender of the
amount of taxes due on the valuation
fixed by the assessor. Treasurer Hoen-
stine declined to receive the money.
Several of the newspapers Of the
western part of the state, including
the first issue of the Nevada Demo-
crat, have insinuated that taxpayers
of Humboldt and EIko counties are
attempting to dodge their just proper
ton of taxes. These statements are
evidently ma 'e off hand and without
knowledge or reference to the actual
existing facts. As an illustration the
following are given as sample OF
Humboldt county's assessment:
During the present year Swan &
Foster purchased from the Golconia
Cattle company 300 acres of land,
paying therefor $500 per acre. The
tax commission raised the assessed
valuation of this land to $24.00 per
acre, or eight times its actual cash
value.
The pasture and meadow lands of
A. F. Trousdale, situated below town
on the river, were both raised to the
same figure, $24.00 per acre, although
the merest novice knows that meadow
land is much more valuable than pas
ture land. The entire tract may be
bought at from $1,000 to $1,000 per
acre.
The entire holdings of the Reinhart
Land & Livestock company may be
purchased at $1,000 per acre. This
property was raised by the commits
sion to $24.00 per acre.
Pearce & Tobin recently purchaser
their ranch from the First National
bank at $1,000 per ache. This land
was appraised by the assessor at 5000
per acre, which was about the right
figure, compared with other assess
ments. The commission raised the as
sesment to $24.00 per acre.
Fortunately this matter will not be
left to the friends and defenders of
the tax commission for adjustment
but will be settled by the courts.

specific allegations of irregular na1.-
tests and contraband cited are ex-

British reply TO the American pro- ss..
Outside of actual fighting the situa-

Gus development of the war. A str m3
minority seems anxious to belle 1e
that the protest indicates Ameri II s
pro-German sympathies. Some news
papers, especially those outside of
London, urge that the government

had hitherto prevented the placing Of
foreign built ships under the Aeri-
can flag. The same measure also
lodged with the president discretion
to waive the restrictions regarding
all the officers of such ships being
American citizens, thus laying the
foundation during the war for an
American merchant marine, which
would carry American products
abroad regardless of the war condi-
tions.
Congress also amended the Aldrich
vreeland emergency currency act,
during the early days of the war, but
before the Federal reserve banking
system had gotten into operation, as
to make that workable, and it was
availed of for the first time since its
passage, years before. The senate
passed cotton warehouse bill, during
the early days Of the war, provid-
ing for government inspection and su-
pervision of the warehouses, but this
was lost in the house. A tremendous
fight to have the government buy cot
ton from the southern planters at 10
cents q pound was defeated and the
bill voted down.
Another result of the war, and for
its cutting down of imports frorn
foreign countries, with accompanying
reduction in the tariff duties, was the
war tax bill. This measure, provid
ing for the raising of more than 500.
100000 annually by internal taxation
vas put through both houses only af
ter a most bitter fight, virtually al
the Republicans voting against it
Supplementing the Alaska railroa
bin, passed early in the year, another
measure, passed late in the fall, pro
vided for the leasing Of governmea
coal lands in that territory, and als'
for the government mining some q
them itself, another instance of gov
ernment ownership which pleased III
Socialists.
