Lectured the Kids.

His Honor, Judge Sampson,
had a bunch of youngsters
brought before him Monday af-
ternoon by the night marshal,
Ed. Gardner, charged with
throwing stones at one of our
citizens. The Judge evidently
was a boy himself once on time,
and thinking of those days mel
lowed his heart from stern ju-
dicial duty, so he delivered a
lecture to the young culprits on
the duty they owe to society to
be decent and laW-abiding, and
then turned them loose with the
admonition never to appear in
his court again for any similar
offense, unless they wanted to
warm their heels by the city
jail fire.

Public Libraries.

A correspondent in the last
is sue of the Coconino Sun very
ri ghteously complains that it is
unfair to compel the Woman's s
Club of that city to bear the ex-
pense of maintaining the public
library, when it has been de-
monstrated it is such a general
public benefit to the old as we'll
as the young people. This
should not be. A public library
should be maintained with tax
levy on the property. and the
present law on the statue books
should be amended to permit of
such a tax.
The law as it stands at present
gives to cities having 5000 popu-
lation or over the right to levy
tax of one-half mill to establish
and maintain public libraries,
enacted probably with the idea
that people living in a town of
less than 5000 had no use for
such an institution. We will say
to the Sun correspondent that
the way to help the woman's
club Of Flagstaff is to get busy
with your senator, Hugh Camp
bell, and have him offer an
amendment to the present law
reducing the population required
from 5000 to 1000, and then have
the city trustees make a levy to
support the library in a manner
that such a laudable institution
demands. Every incorporated
city should be given the power
to make a tax levy for a public
library, as it will bring greater
and better returns to the COM
munity for the money expended
than any other levy made.
Now is the time to get action
on this matter while the legisla-
ture is in session, and write to
your senator and member of the
the house. Let the woman's
club get busy. Members of the
legislature have their ears to the
ground always.

Tax Commission Report.

The third biennial report of the
Arizona state tax commission has
just been issued, with a be.
wildering array of statistics anc
figures that would have a ten
dency to produce brain fever tc
delve into their mysteries. One
thing is made painfully clear,
however, that in incorporated
cities the total amount of tax
that can be levied amounts to
about five per cent, but fortu-
nately the full limit has never
been reached.
The real gist of the report lies
in the recommendations made by
the commission of certain desired
amendments to the present re-
venue laws, as follows:
Strengthen the tax limit and
budget law.
Provide for a county assessor
and tax collector to perform like
functions for incorporated cities
and towns, and abolish the office
of city assessor and tax collector.
A simplifed tax roll that will
permit the abstracts of the as
sessments to be made from the
original tax rolls.
That the per capita road tax
be collected by the several county
assessors, and that the jurisdic-
tion of county assessor for this
purpose as we'll as for the col
lection of the school and personal
property taxes be extended to
December 18th of each year.
That the law providing for a
specific tax on express companies
be repealed, and the tax commits
sion be permitted to assess them
on a mileage basis.
Provide for the administration
of the inheritance tax law by the
tax commission.
"A new automobile tax law,
basing the tax on the weight of
the car.
A small mill tax on moneys
and credits.
