FREEPORT DISAPPOINTS WET,
PREDICTIONS

During the campaign in Freeport last spring,
Mayor Franz called the council together to consider
the financing Of the city in it should go dry.
Every wet member of council made speech decar-
ing that the ty having great difficulty making
both ends meet it and he did not see how tie
city could possibly get along without the saloon Ii
money.
The wet campaign leaders republshed these
speeches and used them campaign material to
timid taxpayers into voting wet.
= WE'LL Freeport has been dry year and here is
the result. The same mayor and the same council,
majority of whom wet voted last spring some
traordinary Improvements including the building of
the Stephenson Street Bridge across the Pecatonca.
They also greatly increased the appropriation for
school purposes.
To meet these unusual expenses, the council
tually spent $2274375 than during the previous
wet year This is very nearly the amount derived
from the saloon licenses which the city gave up.
All the usual expenses of the city, including the
cleaning and lighting of the streets and the mante-
of the police and fire departments, have been
met without any inconvenience whatever the part
Of the wet administration, and the city has had
ISSUE single dollar of bonds.
1t will be that the calamity howl set up by
the vets of Freeport last spring pure bunk"

Must Attend School

While the enrollment of the Tomb stone public schools the first several days IS much larger than last year. 1t has not been up to what was expected by the local school board
 II is believed that this is occasioned by the absence of large number uf children of school age iu the city who have not enrolled for the reason that the parents have not enforced it npOn them to attend. and the children have simply not cared whether they started school or not. Members Of the local school board today declared that these children are to be made to attend school this year. under the compulsory act of the school laws of Arizona. and that in case the children are not at- terding owing to the fault Of parents the parents are to be arrested and pros
 
 forced 60 attend This condition is said to exist largely in the Mexican population and is the result of either ignorance Of the law on the part of the parents. or the parents do not care whether the children attend or not.
 A large number have been told oi the conditions and have already enrolled at the schools, but the next several days will see prosecutions started II the parents do not compel their chii' dren to go to school. according to the school board.

 The tax conference was well attend ed and great many ideas were ad- vauced for the different systems in the various states said Howe 1 Many of the older states reported progress but the majority of them have ! had liitle success in improving their systems. owing 10 the fact that it is al most impossible 10 amend tine conSti tuition of the different states.

 Business conditions on the coast are little if any better than here in Arizona Were ir not for the fact that so many tourists are visiting the expositions. business would be much poorer than it is, but everybody is optimistic over the future.
