Infectious Cases Must Be Re.
ported By Doctors.

In consideration of the right
to practice medicine in Arizona,
doctors are required to assume
certain responsibilities. Among
these responsibilities is the re-
porting of certain infectious dis
eases. Physicians who do not
report these diseases, as the law
requires, are subject to fine, i'm
prisonment, and may even have
their license revoked.
The value of these reports are
two-fold. They enable the state
to note the approach of diseases
and insure that all possible pre-
cautions are being taken to guard
against epidemics. They also
serve to indicate the success with
which the attacks of the various
diseases are being met.

Reports from the Harqua Hala

that the Martin Bros, owners of
the old Harqua Hala mine, are
preparing to pump out the old
workings and renew operations.
Recent discoveries in the lower
levels have relocated the old vein
by crosscutting back of the in

opened up by sinking a vertical
shaft 400 feet direct to the ore
body. The mine was scrapped

VIA GILA TO YUMA.
Phoenix Yuma Highway Hot

According to recent advices
from Birmingham, Ala, the
Bankhead highway has been
routed from Ell Paso to San
Diego by way of Mesilla Park
with spur to Las Cruces, thence
to Deming, and Lordsburg, N.
NJ, and thence to Douglas, Bis
bee, Tombstone and on to Phe-
nix, and from there to San Diego
by way of Yuma.
The proposed route to Yuma as
heretofore advocated was via
Buckeye and Gillespi thru Gila.
That has been now abandoned as
impractical and too costly; be-
sides in summer the burning,
blistering sandstorms would OBJ
literate all travel.
State and federal engineers
now concede that the Wicken-

MUNICIPALITY DEBT
MORE THAN S34.4OO
Colossal Interest Running Ten
Years Requires Frenzied Fl
nancial Figuring.

The STATE MINER, like every
home town paper, is a guardian
of the public interests. 1t pro-
poses to have a say in everything
for civic betterment of this COM
munity. 1t will not endorse half
hearted municipal authorities who
do not live up to their obligations.
The individual who takes his oath
Of office to serve the municipality
even tho without pay and neglects
to comply with the law in such
cases made and provided is dere-
lict in his duties and subject to
censure and also punishment for
violation and neglect Of duty.
Public corporations, as we'll as
private corporations, are required
to make periodical report of their
finances the same as a bank. It
is understood that this very i'm
portant matter has become al
most obsolete with the Town
Council of WickenDurg and only
once in great while, there is "a
budget estimate made to justify
further taxation for finances
needed.
Corporate bodies usually have
a committee on finances, whose
duty is to report thereon in sta
tistical form, so the public may
know and have access to them
for verifcation. We are Of the
opinion that such report is long
overdue and any disposition to
delay it until after the municipal
election is not the proper spirit
to encourage confidence in the
stability of our municipality. A
refusal to comply with this i'm
portant procedure would be man
ifestly unfair. The people have
a right to know their indebted
ness and how it is to be financed.
A recent interview with one of
our city officials brought out the
admission that the city of Wick
enburg has liabilities of $34, 400,
with interest coupons running up
to 1928. To assist in payment
of this enormous debt it seems
that there is an assessed valua-
tion of taxable property valued
at only $241, 964.
1t is clear that something must
be done to meet this ponderous
emergency by encouraging in
creased growth of property and
population.
At the municipal gate Of Wick
enburg's prosperity stands an
occupation and license tax that
knocks the props out' from
under the prospective buyer of
realty or business ventures in
this city. Not all pay this obli-
cation there are some who find
methods and influence to evade
this municipal ordinance dis
elimination which by not being
equal and impartial to all becomes
unconstitutional. Since it is not
of that character which guaran-
tees equality, it should be oblit-
Grated. The small revenue de-
rived therefrom could be acquired

the past ten months has monthly
averaged a thousand extra copies
Of it's regular editions by various
mining companies, who appreci-
ate it's value in keeping their
stockholders posted on develop

which their money is expended.
One order from Franco-Ameri-
can Copper Company was for
$500 extra copies, all of which
found circulation around Color
ado, Kansas and Chicago. Large
amounts of extras for Dragon

panies go out every month. Re-
cent additional orders for the
ARIZONA STATE MINER came
from the New York office of the
Rainier Mines Company. which
required over 700 copies of the
issue of Jan. Oath. This month
we have had kilograms from H.
d. Blood at Worcester, Mass. Tor
200 extra copies. of which We
could deliver only one-half. An
other telegram from Angus Mac

for like amount, and with 200
extras for w. A. Dean, Boston
and G. P. Day & Co. New York,
more than exhausted our whole
extra edition.
Tuesday we received another
wire for 220 copies from Wenden
with request that we be prepared
for additional orders to follow

Thus it will be seen that the
little Wickenburg country
weekly is finding circulation
elsewhere, which is thoroly ap-
preciated.
This is indirectly helpful to
Wickenburg, because every issue
has something about our climate
and resources that is sure to
catch the eyes of those who live
in the frigid centers of the East.

New York, April 13-A critical sit uation for stable and progressive Christian organization exists in Ger many at this moment, according to trustworthy news being received This crucial condition is almost en- tirely due to the separation of church and state by the Ebert government, and the general Encouragement eco nomically of the people.

Local retail prices will maintain on these pur- chases and there is no red tape to be unrayelled.
 Spring feeding of bees should begin now, says MT. Crandal. There are about ten thousand colonies of bees in Connecticut and each should have about twenty pounds of sugar for spring feeding. First available natural nectar will be from red maple trees, later this month. Bees are fly ing now on pleasant days.

GOVERNOR IS
 READY TO BE
 GIVEN PROOFS

Governor Holcomb is ready to re- ceive the proofs that urgent consid- eration of the federal suffrage amendment has created a sufficient emergency to call A special session of the General Assembly. In a letter written yesterday to Colonel Isaac M. Ullman of New Haven, again re- fusing to call this special session, the governor sayS:-
 My dear Colonel:-
 T do not agree with you that there is any parallel between woman suf- frage and the conditions which in duced me to call a special session to enable the soldiers at the Mexican the case of the soldiers they were all ready electors and they would have had the right to exercise their privi- Ieges as electors if they had not for
 cibly been taken away from the state.
 Consequently the special emergency
 was to give them the means of ex-
 ercising rights which they possessed. In the case of woman suffrage the women have no such rights and those of them who desire it wish a, special session to be called to give them rights which they do not now pos sess. I can see clear distinction be- tween the two conditions.
 'FThis matter will be voted upon at the next regular session. I know of no instance in this state where a special session has been called to ap- prove any federal amendment and l can see no special emergency which auth prizes the governor to call one If the electors of this state are not ] to be allowed to vote upon the fed i eral suffrage amendment, it seems i only fair that it should be acted upon by a General Assembly selected with
