SorrioJ Gable IN tbe E,euiuu Ledger


PARIS, Feb. 25.-The Chamber Of Depu-
ties has ended by passing the bill for a
tax on war profits, by vote of 40 to l.
but this unanimty does not make the law
any better There will be an increase of
the tax by 10 per cent. for all who do not
make declaration within the time limits
fixed The law also provides three months
to two years imprisonment with 500
francs fine for all who make false returns
But this is only the second stage of
the financial legislation by which Depu'
ties, who. according TO age, should be at
the front seek to justify staying at the
palais Bourbon
The first stage was the income tax.
Apparently that was why it was necessary
to begin by having the principal measure
accepted. as after the principle had been
accepted the reserve could be put III. The
Finance Committee of the Chamber now
began to put In the new requirements. In
the name of national defense it has de-
cided upon an extraordinary contribution,
levied on income. but after the war there
will be advances of the Bank of France
to be repaid and interest on the national
debt. and what are now called extraordi'
nary contributions will then be called or.
dinary.
Already one Deputy has proposed
taA not on income but on capital and
another has proposed requstioning all
factories and the substitution of govern
ment for private industry. He considered
the moment favorable for launching
France into full socialstic legions.
Alexandra Rbot, Minister of Finance,
has been very complaisant toward Social
list propositions. but Ribot came down on
the last plan and it failed by n vote of
336 to 10
These 20 votes represented the Socialist
group. The Government has been very
friendly to them. They have two ministers
in the Cabinet and the Minister of NUM-
tions. without committing NJ. Vivlani and
NJ. BRAND, who always call themselves
Socialists. Nevertheless, 1t is always cer-
tain that when the Ministry is attacked the
principal blows always come from the
Socialists They unite against the Gov
nrnunant

Elks

The virile play of Russian police methods, The Yellow Ticket is the big drawing card presented by the Ed. Redmond company at the Elks theater this week. The play vividly shows the harsh methods used against the Jews of that country, the regula- tions being that no member of that race can enter the center of a city. It is about Maryat Veranka the in- nocent Jewess who in order to evade the law for the purpose of visiting her father who is i'll, that the story of the play centers. She applies for yellow ticket" the badge of women of the hHlf-world but which permits the bearer unlimited freedom regard less of race. The knowledge by the police that she carries such a card gives them liberty to try and force her into the life but fortunately through the efforts of Julan Rolfe the plans of the interruptions members of the Okrana are frustrated.
 Audell Higgins appears as Marya, Roscoe Karns as Julian Rolfe and the remaining members in good sup porting roles "The Yellow Ticket will be staged for the rest of this week with matinees on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Next week will mark the farewell of the Red mond company in the production of the Nicer -do-Well."

PRICE 0F STATE
 LAND SUSTAINED

The State of Arizona through At torney General Wiley E. Jones, was officially notified yesterday that the first case of appeal from the appraised price of state school land had been won by the state.
 The case was fought out in Tucson last week. Mrs. Juana de Moreno, who had been occupying a piece of school land near that place, was not satisfied with the price placed on her land by the states appraisers.
 She took the matter into the superior court Chief Clerk E. J. Trippell of the land office was present at the trial as a witness, and to act as an adviser to Assistant Attorney General Leslie Hardy who fought the case for the state.
 The court held that the price placed on the land by the state was not ex- horbitant, and that if Mrs. Moreno wished to buy in the land she will be forced to bid up to the appraised price.

LARGE AUDIENCE
 CREETS NEW LION

There was a big pleased audience at the beginning of the Lion last night to see May Robson in the five act Vitagraph comedy "A Night Out" The photcplay was all to be desired, the orchestra played music that was a delight to hear and the new decora- tions harmonious. Perhaps the most
 noted change in the house is the way the Loge seats have been arranged. which makes them exclusive and comfortable. Of the comedy "A Night Out every member of the cast de- serves praise, but of course May Robson shines above all. She takes the part of a grandmother who goes out to see the sights with her grand sons and "grandmum" has the time of her life and didn't regret it, even though she did have headache, ''the morning after" Miss Robson is best in this kind of story, which those who saw The Rejuvenation of Aunt

Isobell and ShindleboWer were placed under $500 bond by Judge De SouZa and BraZeau who had been arraigned few mom- held to answer in the sum of $1,500 was not required to give bail in this case.
 Brazeau is charged with highway robbery. Complaining witness, Ber- nardo Sesma declares Brazeau is the man who held him up on the night of February IT and robbed him of $17.50 According to the story told by Sesma, he and his raughter were returning home from down town shortly after midnight when they were waylaid at Third and Lincoln streets by a man who demanded of Sesma that he give him every cent he had. Sesma handed him $7.5O which did not satisfy the highwayman. You have more. Give it to me or I will kill you'
 Afraid to argue with the desperado, Sesma said that he handed him his remaining $1O which did not seem to appease the robber He leveled his revolver and fired and Sesma still carries the wound in his forehead made by the man he claims is Brazeau.
 The police have made half a dozen different arrests but Sesma has al ways said No, that is not the man" until Brazeau was apprehended. When he was placed in jail, every man in the city jail was lined up with him and Sesma called Quick as a flash he walked up to .Brazeau and with trembling voice declared "Esta Bueno' You have him."

MADAME SHERRY
 WINS APPLAUSE

It was daring of w. P. Stevenson, manager of the Empress, to open the East Adams street theater in Madame Sherry" the musical play presented here a few years ago by a star cast. Mir. Stevenson, however, does not have to regret his choice, for the big audi ence approved of the Folly Girls" and testified it's appreciation by it's laugh ter and applause. There were several innovations that gave a new touch to the Madame Sherry with which Phoe- nicians are familiars but the same beautiful music held the same delight full attraction as of old. The orchestra last evening was unusually good, so tween the acts when it contributed sev- eral numbers proved to be a real feat ure of the entertainment.
 Music with charm and girls with pep and lines that are fairly well in terpreted and there is the criticism heard of the initial offering of the Empress on every hand. Some of the girls may have lost their youth but the makeup served it's purpose and as a whole the chorus is the average
 Gene Post, who directed the produc- ton, is back home when he comes to Phoenix and there was a special vel come awaiting him. The company is well balanced and many made a place for themselves in the hearts of local theatergoers by their first nights per- formance.

 Bobby Roberts as Theophilus Sherry made decided hit. His comedy was quiet and he put it across without any effort. He was quite the best in the company. Billy Frawley as Edward Sherry was satisfactory in his part and the remainder of the cast acceptable.

BRONCO BUSTERS
 WERE TOO WOOL[Y
Two Arraigned For Horse Stealing.
 One For Highway Robbery

A chapter in the history of trio of broncho busters began in the just ice court yesterday when Henry lso- bell, Frank Shindlebower and Joe Brazeau were arraigned on the charge of horse stealing.
 The young men have become well known as typical representatives of the wild and woody west" They set the heart of the public palpitating at the state fair when they partici- pated in the wild west sports. It is alleged that their stunts pulled off at this time gave them real taste for wild life and led to number of irregular acts on their part
 The present case involves a nice
