TOWN COUNCIL CUTS SALARIES OF ALL
 OFFICIALS
City Attorney and City Health Officer Are Only Officials Who Escape the Axe-Loss of Revenue Given as the
 Reason for the Reduction.

It was dark and stormy night on Monday evening last when the Town Council assembled at the Town Hall for it's regular monthly session. No sooner had Mayor Fraser rapped for order than the gloom increased by motions and seconds, which came thick and fast, each one of them car rying cut in some officials salary. When the sky cleared a little it was discovered that approximately $150 per month had been saved the town in reduction of salaries and other changes ordered made by the Coun- ci1. The reductions made were as follows:
 Mat Danenhauer, town clerk, re- duced from s175 DO per month to $50. % per month.
 G. L. Crawford, town marshal, re- duced from $175. .OO per month to $15O per month.
 J. w Goolsby, night marshal, re- duced from $125 per month to $115 OO per month.
 City Engineer, monthly salary of $50 .00 per month discontinued and when services required to be paid per diem
 B. F. Bowman, Street Supervisor, reduced from $175. % per month to $150. %. Four men formerly employ ed in this department was reduced to two, and the street supervisor was instructed that he must furnish driver for one of the city teams at his own expense. This was the biggest cut made by the Council at their 
 Tn the future the Council will con- tract the work of hauling the garbage and in another column will be found an advertisement calling for bids for doing the work, the city furnishing wagon and teams.

NEW TAX BILL A LIKE 0NE ID
 THE 0LD
Mine Tax Measure Framed By Ari- zona Branch Mining Congress En- bodies Same Details as Did Former Bill.

PHOENIX, Jan. 8-The mine tax congress, Arizona chapter of the min ing congress, today completed the draft of bill they will urge adoption by the legislature. In important de- tails it differs little from the existing law.
 It classes mines as productive and non-productive, the latter to be taxed as other real estate and the produc- tive assessed valuation to be arrived at by declaring a figure equal to twelve and one-half per cent of the times the value of the net proceeds.
 Improvements on productive min ing property will be assessed as other property. Mining property shall be subject to no other tax.
 By reason of the fact that the former mine tax law was effective only during 1913 and 1914 and at present there is no special law re- lating to mine taxation in effect framers of the present law urge it's adoption.
 Framers of the law have submitted copies today to the state tax com mission and to Governor Hunt.
 Democratic members of the 1egisla- ture have arranged to caucus Satur- day Present indications are that Sims leads Goldwater in his candidacy for the presidency of the senate. Mrs. Munds' candidacy is being lightly considered.
 In the speakership contest Graham of Cochise, Vaughn of Maricopa and Brooks of Gila are all on the ground actively managing their canvas. Christy of Grenlee is being discussed as a possible compromise.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7.-Employ- CTS of alien labor won their conten- tions today when a special court of three United States Judges declared the Arizona anti-alien labor law un- constitutional Wiley Jones, attorney general of Arizona, who defended the act as necessary to the states police powers over dangerous gatherings. reserved the right to appeal the de cision to the United States Supreme court. It is not certain, though, that an appeal will be taken. A protest against the law has also been filed in Washington by ambassadors from Great Britain and Italy.
 The decision was made by Judge Sawtelle, Judge Van Fleet of the United States district court and Judge Morrow of the United States Circuit court.
 'The law is intended" said the court ito be a police regulation, but under the guise of police regula- tion, the state was in effect depriving the complainant of his right to labor guaranteed by the fourteenth amend ment to the United States constitu- tion The supreme court of the Unit ed States recently held that the right to labor is the right of property. An alien cannot be deprived of his right to property under the cohstitu- tion.''
 The court held first, that the statute violated the guarantees of

VERY ESSENCE OF ARIZONA PASSES
 WITH 1914
First Day of State Wide Prohibition Experienced in Arizona; Joy Per- vades Some While Sorrow is More Apparent.

Intermingled with sorrow on one hand, and joy on the other,the liquor sales in the state ot Arizona were ab- sent the first of the New Year. Sor- row of the real and acute kind was experienced by many, while the pro hibitionists in the state realized a con- dition of affairs for which they have been looking and working for many years.
 Arizona has been the land of TO- nance. The east considers it yet to be the land of bad men and worse whlskey. Arizona has carried with it the essence of the west. Its name has been linked with the true west ern spirit. They have been said to be synonomous.
 But with the exit of gambling in 1908 and of liquor in 1914, the shell of encircling mystery always connect ed with the west, will have vanished into the thin haze of a forgotten yes- terlay.
 Mothers and fathers, in the desire
 
 ity in the future, will tell their chill dren of possible return of the, days of old, when whiskey ran rank and damp in the gutters of unpaved and unregenerated streets. The future will be retrospection upon the past = when the state went dry.
 But where will the old time loafer chew his tobacco and pass the time of today with his boon companions? Where will the romance, so entwined with Arizona's atmosphere find a place of vantage to hold sway until the time when the settler will have taken-the land and converted it into pasturage for fs~ sheep, a meadow and dairy farm for the production of the earth's eatables.
 With the passing of liquor from many of the old landmarks will pass. The streets in many of cities and towns, will auto- matically darken themselves. The lights, the bright lights, of a real. but superficial era, will be hung with crepe. The jaw of the loafer, the eager thirst of the wind-blown cow puncher and the ready loan from the white man behind the bar, will take on a different aspect. They have al- ready. In the face of the loafer is that picture of lonesomeness found in the face of the waif without a home. In the face of the COW punch CT, the wonderment of'a child at some new and inexplicable and seeming ly unreasonable order, will be found.
 The face of the man-in-white looks to the east, to the north, to the west aiid to the south
 He has been beaen, Through cir constance, many times not of his own making, he was cast into a busi- ness that the majority of voters have declared illegitimate His hand was ever ready to give of his goods to ezcesses of which he was party to. His business and he were banished from a stronghold considered incapa- able of falling before the hosts of pro- hihition. IVY
 His path, like those of his many friends and business associates, will lead afar. To wet places will he wander. The line of drouth has fol- lowed him, west, west, and may now spring back and include the other points of the compass. He has been beaten in Arizona and with him goes many remembrances of old-time days cld-time people and the paint on the face of the state-liquor

HAS IT COME TO THIS?

punchers were standing on the East Side yesterday afternoon. With all the saloons closed and no place to spend their money, they felt desolate and as help less as an ostrich with his head under the sand.
 "What'l we do" asked one of them mournfully as he shiv- cred in the cold.
 l guess all we can do is rent a room and go to bed" answered his pal from the range, and they did.
