 STAGE MEN START WAR
 PRESCOTT-With the announce ment that the Sin stage line to Whip pie barracks has been privileged by the Arizona corporation commission to increase its fare from 35 cents a round trip to 50 cents a round trip, all of the other taxi drivers of the city are up in arms.

That means with the raise in Sills charge from 35 to 50 cents for the round trip, that other auto stage men must charge 35 cents one way or 70 cents round trip-Evening Courier
