 HEAR CONTEMPT CASE
Action of A. E. Railroad vs Corporation Commission

Attorney General Wiley Jones, As sistant Attorney General George liar ben and F. A. Jones expect to go to Los Angeles on Tuesday next. They will be present in the federal court in that city at the time that the case of the Arizona Eastern railroad vs. the sttae corporation commission comes before that tribunal on We'd nesday, January 26.

 Attorneys Jones and Harben will represent the commission in the com ing action, and Commissioner Jones will also assist them in an official capacity.
 The petition by the South Side Gas and Electric company for a restraining order against the enforce ment of the new rates established re- gently by the commission for use of the company, will be heard in the federal court on the same day.

Owing to the, fact that there are at present several bridges out along the roads between this city and Nogales, their trip to that city was of necessity postponed.
 At the present time the county of Santa Cruz has but very vague and inaccurate method of getting at the valuations on real estate for the pur- pose of taxation It has been pro- posed that the Somers system, which is generally in use throughout the country, he installed. The two mem bers of the state body expect to make the trip at some later time. and aid the county officials in getting started in the new taxation system.
