PHOENIX. Dec. 5.-Leslic {.
Hardy. and not George w. Hardin,
is to be assistant to Attorney Gen

Hardy has been assistant to At

Carpenter was made L. 5. internal
revenue collector Tor the district OF
arizona and New Mexico. Hardy OPP
posed Jones Tor the democratic nom

that Hardy's appointment is only
temporary and that the Williams city

HEAD TAX FOR
WOMEN is PROPOSED

PHOENIX, Dec. snow that wo-
men have the right to vote in Ari-
IONA, they may be given the right to
pay head taxes.
Much discussion OF the ACCESSIBILITY
of imposing upon women OF voting
age the annual head tax of $3.50 now
required of all adult male residents
is heard in the capital. There is a
widespread belief that someone will
introduce a bill to that effect in the
legislature next spring. The tendency
it is pointed out, is to search out
new sources OF revenue.
Before and after women were Civ
en- the right to vote, it was frequent
~ suggested that they might be call
ed upon to pay head taxes, the same
as male voters Until this time,
however, the suggestion was never
taken seriously.
There is serious obstacle to the
passage OF any law imposing head
taxes upon women, however. Hus-
bands already pay $3.50 year and
would not care to dig down in their
Jeans for another annual $3.50 to
square their wives with the tax col
lector. 1t has been suggested that
the tax be imposed only on unmar-
ried women, but there is grave dan
ger that such a distinction would be
unconstitutional.
No legislator has been found so
ungaliant as to say that he is going
to introduce a bill to require wo-
men to pay head taxes. 1t is GER
tain, however, that members OF the
Legislature will be supplied with cop
les of such a measure and asked to
work for its passage.
More grief for the legislature.

GENTRY HAS NEW
FORM OF TAX LIST
(From sundays Daily.)

(From sundays Daily.)
c. Z. Gentry. county assessor-elect
has gotten up new tax list form for
use in the assessment OF property,
upon which list of property is TAX
en- by the assessor at the time IT
is assessed, and he expects to have
the same presented to the state tax
commission for adoption.
The old form is in the shape OF 4
folder, containing about eight pages.
In listing property on this form it
is necessary for the assessor to turn
from page 10 page, and when IT
comes to copying the list on the tax
rolls it is a great bother, the copy
list being compelled to turn the pages
over and back time and time again to
make the totals and be sure OF avoid
ing a mistake. Then, again, under
the old system the property owner,
receives no duplicate, and it it a
great bother for the assessor for the
reason many property owners call on
him to ascertain what property was
assessed and many other details.
If the proposed new form is adopt
cd all that is contained on the eight
pages of the folder will be listed on
one sheet and this will be used with
carbon paper, the duplicate being
given the taxpayer when the list is
obtained. All the trouble that has
been prevalent with the folder will
be eliminated by the new system,
and it can be copied with a great
deal more speed and accuracy, be
ing so arranged that it folds up as
neatly and into about the same size
as the folder now in use
Mr.. Gentry is getting ready for
the grind OF assessing the property
in Yavapai county, commencing in
January He says that at that time
himself and his deputy, Mr.. Stephens
will be ready to commence the work
in good shape. By the way, the new
county and state officers do not as
sumo their duties on the first of Jan
uary, but on the fourth, this being
the first Monday in January.

No Graft Possible.

H. W. Heap. speaking as an indi-
vidual member OF the board OF super
visors yesterday. said that so far as
he was concerned there would never
be new court house in Iavapai
county if to secure the same even
the semblance of graft had TO be in
dulged in.
Furthermore, speaking about the
action of the Chamber of Commerce
on the subject. connected with the
offer of Daniel E Parks to sell the
bonds for a commission OF 3Afe, he
sail that the board was not author
lied to pay one cent OF commission,
or to sell the bonds at one cent be
low par. and that so far as he was
concerned Yavapai county had to re
ccive exactly $25O.OO0 in money in
exchange for the $250.0O0 bonds, ev-
cry dime OF which had to be eXpend-
ed in the construction OF lirst-class
new court house.
He seemed very emphatic in his
statement that there never would be
a chance for any man to receive a
rake-off on this money, and declared
that personally no power on earth
could change his opinion, or words
to that effect
The board, according to Mr.. Heap,
has been in communication with bond
houses of good repute, and IS advis-
ed that in all probability at an op-
perfume time the bonds can be sold
at par and handled at the straight
rate OF interest provided for, by re-
putable dealers. He says that the
advice of such bonding houses is for
the board not to re-advertise for bids
until such time as the money market
is adequate to touch the wire with
legitimate and responsible responses
which he believes will not be much
longer delayed In fact he said bond
houses had advised the board &c
withdraw their advertisement, as il
might at this time do harm.
At the close of his conversation
Mr. Heap stated that the board
would probably have the subject III
for consideration again soon. but he
gave very little hope that the bond:
could be handled now as the law re
quires and in the manner ne believe.
the board would stand for.

FEDERAL CRIME TO
ENFORCE NEW LAW
(From Sundays Daily

In an investigation OF the constitu
tional amendment recently passed re-
quiring all employers employing over
five men to use so per cent qualified
\ otcrs or native born citizens OF the
United States, it is now claimed by
prominent lawyers working on the
case that such an amendment is in
direct violation of the federal statu-
ties. and the claim is made that it
would be a violation of the l4th
amendment TO the constitution OF
the United States. which reads in
part that: No state shall deprive
any person OF life, liberty or proper
ty without due process OF law; nor
deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection OF
the laws"
In citing authorities on the subject
one court has held:
~ state legislature by legislative
enactment or otherwise has no au-
thority to deprive a person OF the
right to labor at any legitimate bust
ness or to deny any person within
the jurisdiction OF the United States
the equal protection OF laws. or to
prohibit corporation that has a
right to DO business in the state to
employ any person whether alien or
native. in the prosecution OF any lc-
gitimatc business"
II the statute l. unconstitutional.
as claimed by the legal luminarics,
under Sec. $50 Of the L. s. revised
statute. any attempt to enforce the
amendment would be a criminal OF
tense under a penalty OF fine Of
not more than $1,000 or imprisonment
Tor one year. or both.
II this Is the actual condition OF
law in the United States, it would
certainly appear that the 80 per cent
amendment Is doomed. and leads one
to again remark that our multiplicity
OF laws leaves us in very much the
condition that no one is just positive
where he Is at until the lawyers
and courts get through telling him.

dence OF Mrs. Pearson did not seem
to impress the court as sufficient to
grant separation. She practically
admitted that her husband had o.
