PLAN is ADOPTED
TO ORGANIZE A

OF FIVE APPOINTED
Committee Meets and Adopts
Declaration Showing
What Plans Are

Agreeable to announcement
in The Morning Oasis, yester-
day morning a large number of
citizens gathered at the council
chamber in the city hall and
took steps toward the organi-
zation of a home guard.
The attendance was large and
included able-bodied men in all
walks of life, and much interest
was manifested. The roll was
not completed at the meeting,
but it is evident that the organ
ization will have between 200
and 300 men who will be
promptly available when called
for duty.
Sheriff Raymond r. Earhart
and Chief of Police J. J. Lowe
were decided upon as the COM
manders, and an advisory COM
mittee consisting of Capt. L.
w. Mix, w. G. Bowman, George
Fielder, F. L. Bosch and A. M.
Gillespie was appointed. Later
this committee met with the
sheriff and chief, and the fol-
lowing declaration was adopted

school taxes. In Nogales the
railroad company pays for the
upkeep of grade and high
schools on just what property
is inside the town of Nogales,in
Guiding about one mile of main
line. After building splendid
school structure for which they
voted bonds, the people of Pat
agonia pay in school taxes of all
kinds about 16 cents on the
500, while in Nogales the taxes
for school purposes are just a
fraction under Sc cents on the
$1OO.

TOO
ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR VISITOR
IMITATION REVOLUTION
PROVED TOO REALISTIC
Iowa Lady and Companions
In Mexican Market When
Battle Broke Out.

1t is not every eastern visitor
to Nogales who has an imita-
tion of Mexican revolution
staged for their benefit when
they go across the international
border to see the sights in Sono-
ra, and Mrs. C.. R. Newman, of
Central City, Iowa, who had
that rather bizarre distinction,
feels that while she appreciates
the honor, she prefers that in
future her reception in Nogales
be marked with rather less en-
thusiastic hospitality.
Mrs. Newman, who is visiting
her son, A. L. Newman, had ac-
companied her daughter-in-law
to the American consulate on
the Sonora side, and the two
ladies, accompanied by Mrs.
Lawton, wife of the American
consul, had proceeded on little
tour of inspection.
The trio were observing the
sights of the city market, and
the eastern lady was feeling
that she was certainly getting
her moneys WORTH" when the

II SHOULD HAVE
BEEN A COUNTY
HIGH SCHOOL
NOGALES INSTITUTION
is RATHER EXPENSIVE
organizers Could Have Saved
City Extra School Tax
Burden by Other Plan

1t is quite evident that when
the Nogaless high school was es-
tablished, someone, or every
body, made a bad blunder. I'm
der the law providing for the
organization of high schools,
they may be district, union, or
county high schools,-which-
ever the interested parties may
elect: 1t is not necessary that
the high school be confined to
one particular school district.
Evidently what should have
been done when the Nogales
high school was provided for
was to make it a county high
high school. Of course, all the
people in the county would have
had a voice in the matter, but
it is not likely that there would
have been much opposition to
it. The expense of maintenance
would have been provided from
the entire county, and not all
provided by the taxpayers of
Nogales. Or, had it been made
a union high school-taking in
any number of adjoining school
districts then the cost of up
keep would have come from
that union high school district.
It was not selfishness on the
part of the people, organizing
the high school simply for No
gales precinct, but perhaps an
oversight, as there never has
been objection to students en-
tering the high school from
every part of the county. In
fact, the teachers and others
concerned have been glad to
have students enter the school.
But the expense of keeping it
up is somewhat burdensome,
and now there seems to be no
way out, but we must grin and
beai it.
To illustrate: When Patago-
MIA school district was organiz-
ed, the promoters had the dis
trict to comprise all that section
along the railroad from the
lower end of the Sonoita Land
Grant, at Fuller's ranch, north
east as far as Ashburn's ranch,
a distance bordering on 20
miles. Whatever the indebted
ness of that district, the rail

attorney was looking over the
records, and when he discovea-
ed the Nogales school rate he
began to ego up in the air." un-
til the assessor remarked: "See
here! Should they extend the
high school district to Calaba-
sas and Tubac, what would you
think ?"
With a smile the attorney
said: 81 guess I'll keep my
face closed"
There is plenty of room in the
high school for students from
all parts of the county, and the
people and officers would not
object to them attending, but
there is no other way than for
the taxpayers of the Nogales
district to pay all the expenses.

SOME POLITICAL TOMFOOLERY
arcadia News.)

The Brooksville Star says: THE
Tribune of Tuesday carried state
ment sent out from Tallahassee stat
ing that the Cats and anti-Catts
forces were lining up for real po-
litlcal fight in the coming campaign.
The anti-Catts forces are going to do
everything in their power to elect
majority of the members of the house
as well as majority Of the sixteen
members of the Senate that are to be
elected at the primary this year,
while the Cats forces will be equally
as active in the interest of the COVER
nor. After all this may not prove such
an 'off-year,'''
1t is difficult to comprehend how in
,telligent men should line up as either
Cats or anti-Catts. We would most
certainly be ashamed to run either as
a Cats man or as anti-Catts man. The
governor has his part to play in the
Legislative program, as he does IL
other matters, but unless there should
be deliberate attempt to put some
thing over on the governor, which we
do not believe to be true, then it will
be far better for him to keep his hand
off the representative race in the va
rious counties. To illustrate our po
sition: If there were three candidates
for the legislature in this county, and
one Of them was Cats man and the
other an anti-Catts man, then we
would vote for the fellow who was
neutral on this question. There are
! hundreds of others who feel the same
way about it. Stop such tomfoolery
before it gets well started OF course
If there should be deliberate at
tempt to elect representatives for the
purpose of impeaching the governor
then he would be wholly Unstable In
making a fight, and he could count
on us as being ready to help him In
such a fight in every possible way
The governor will never be impeached
unless he commits some greater crime
thar he is even yet accused of, to say
nothing of his being guilty Of. To oul
mind there is no need of this Cats
and anti-Catts howl and the less heart
of it the better off will be the state

Camp Wheeler, March 26.--It will
be the latter part of April before
the Florida soldiers get another OPP
portunity to demonstrate their skill
as sharpshooters, it has been an
nounced at headquarters of the 124th
infantry. 1t is the present plan of
division officers to keep each regi-
ment on the target range two weeks.
Members of the 121st infantry are
now firing.
They must all learn to shoot. A
man in the trenches who has not had
rifle or pistol practice is worthless,
Gen. Pershing has said. Although
the Georgia boys had but one weeks
practice, more than a dozen have
qualified as sharpshooters. These
are the men wanted as snipers in
France, man qualified to pick the
Hun out in his dugout and put him
out of the war game.
Range officers are matching one
company against another in the tar
get practice and this has served to
make the men try all the harder to
pile up as big a score as possible
The leaders in the individual matches
are also classed in this manner. Some
excellent scores have been made and
when the practice is over, the 12lst
in fantry should be full of expert rifle
men.
