BOWLING ALLEY OPENED

The bowling alley located in the
basement of the Breen-Lewis building
is to be opened some time next week
to the general public, with Frank La
Scala as manager 1t had been orig
inally planned to have Monday the
opening day but, owing to the nom
arrival of some of the equipment, the
date had to be postponed until later
in the week. The opening Of this al
ley will give Flagstaff bowlers q
chance to show how good they are and
is a good move in many other ways
by giving the younger crowd a place
to congregate of evenings.

STATE TREASURER RECEIVES
$2S,549 INHERITANCE TAXES

A check for $28,549.87 in payment
of the inheritance taxes on the estate
of James Hoatson, who died February
27, 1923, in Los Angeles, was receiv-
ed Saturday by Wayne Hubbs, state
treasurer. Mr.. Hoatson, a resident of
Calumet, Michigan, was formerly a
director of the Calumet and Arizona
Mining company, an Arizona corpora
tion.
The check represents the taxes on
net estate of S736, 6,608.23, according to
Neri Osborn, Jr., state inheritance tax
collector, consisting of 1929 shares
of Calumet and Arizona stock, 28,500
shares Of Verde Central Copper com
pany stock, 5000 shares of Jerome
Verde Development company stock,
5000 shares Of Shea Copper company
stock and one share Of Shea Syndicate
stock.
The gross amount of taxes on the
estate amounted to S30,052.50 but a
discount Of 5 per cent was allowed for
payment of the taxes within one year
after the death of the decedent. Ar
rangements for the payment of the
taxes were made last December by
Mr.. Hubbs and Mr.. Osborn while in
Michigan settling number of inher-
itance tax cases.

TIPS FOR TAXPAYERS

Deduction for taxes form a consid-
cradle item in the returns of many
taxpayers. Such items include taxes
on personal property and real estate,
whether business or residential. Taxes
assessed against local benefits, such
as street paving or drainage, which
tend to increase the value of the prop
erty assessed, are not deductible,
since they are the cost of a perna-
nent Improvement
The federal income tax may not be
deducted. Other federal taxes, how
ever, are deductible; for example, the
special taxes Of oleomargarine deal
ers, proprietors of theaters, pool
rooms, bowling alleys, customhouse
brokers and stockholders. Customs
duties paid by a person on articles
which he imports for his own use are
deductible. Sales taxes paid by man
ufacturers Of automobiles, candy,
pleasure boats, works of art, carpets,
trunks, jewelry, ETC., may not be de-
Quoted such manufacturers, unless in
cluded in gross income for the year.
A purchaser Of such articles can not
deduct the taxes as they. are levied
against the manufacturer and not the
purchaser.
Automobile license fees are regard
ed as taxes, and the amount thereof
may be deducted. Admission taxes
are deductible, but the taxpayer must
show that account has been kept of
the amount paid during the year.
Mere guesswork will not be accepted.

CONGRESS FOR COOLEY HIGH
WAY, POSSIBLY FOR BRIDGE
ACROSS COLORADO RIVER

Governor Hunt was advised in tel
egram from Congressman Carl Hay
den appropriating 100000 for the
construction of a road from Cooley to
White river in the direction of Spring
erville.
The bill provides that the appropri-
alton be made from the tribal Indian
funds and that it be matched with a
like appropriation by the state of Ari-
zona to be used in the construction of
the road. The road for the most part
lies across the White River Indian
reservation.
The funds will be used in the inn
provement Of the road and the install
alton of all necessary drainage struc-
lures. A bill introduced by Mr.. Hay
den to provide funds for the con-
struction of a bridge across the Colo
RADIO river to provide a means of
crossing the river in the northern
part Of the state, is still pending. 1t
is a companion bill to the one passed.

UNLOAD DOHENY
HIS MONEY TOO PROMINENT

A motion removing E. l.. Doheny as
second vice-president of the organiza-
ton was adopted by the democratic
state central committee of California.
The motion also included a request
to Doheny that he resign from the
committee.
There was a loud chorus of "ayes"
when the motion was put to vote,
and also many 'snoes," but the affirm
ative vote carried easily.
The vote was taken after debate
in which Doheny was characterized as
lone of the ringleaders in the alleged
corruption now being unearthed in
Washington" On the other hand,
pleas were made by certain commit
teemen that no action be taken by the
committee "until Doheny has had a
chance to defend himself"
The committee, by an overwhelm-
ing viva voce vote, passed a motion
requesting" the removal from the
committee of e. L. Doheny, oil mag
nate concerned in the Teapot Dome
investigation. The motion ordered
Doheny removed from the second vice.
presidency of the committee and di-
rected that the committee issue no
more stationery bearing Doheny's
name as an officer in the organization.

YUMA MEN TOURING STATE IN
THE INTEREST OF PETITION

P. T. Robertson and B. F. Whiting
are in the central part of the state
in the interest of an initiative petit
ton to be voted upon at the next cleo
ton providing for $7,000,000 in state
bonds to pave the state highway from
Phoenix to Yuma.
This matter was broadened by the
local chamber of commerce some
months ago and has been in the for
mulative stage to date. Several Pc
titions have been printed and are now
being circulated. There seems to be
no doubt that the measure will be
before the voters of the state at the
coming election. The Yuma men will
visit Tucson and the southern part of
the state on their trip and will be gone
several days.-Yuma Sun.

CASSIDY ASKS AID OF TUCSON
FLAPPERS TO COMBAT HOOTCH

Convinced that the young girls Of
Tucson and other Arizona cities can
WELD strong influence over the NOR
ais of boys and young men, especially
in the matter of drink intoxicants,
Michael e. Cassidy, prohibition super
visor, who is now in Tucson, has ap-
pealed to the flappers of the state
to aid his force of enforcement offic-
ers in their work Of enforcing proh1-
bition laws.
The supervisor explains that he
doesn't ask the young ladies of the
state to assume the role of "stool pig
cons" in helping locate stills and boot
leggers nor take part in raids against
illegal traffickers in hooch, but by re-
fusing to attend private "booze par
ties" and declining to dance with a
partner whose breath has an alcoholic
tinge.
Mr.. Cassidy advises strongly
against lecturing the young men, as
they like to be considered "real dew
lis" and would find qualification in
being thought wild. The best way to
show disapproval, the prohibition head
points out, is for a girl to decline to
accompany young man who has been
drinking, or to break off her dance
with him if he smells of liquor, with
an explanation of why.
If the girls make the fact evident
that drinking disgusts them, this will
have the effect Of stopping the prae-
tice with 90 per cent of the young
man, Mr.. Cassidy believes.
In an eastern college this plan has
proved effective. The co-eds have
banded together and have placed a ta-
boo upon drinkink at social functions.
This has discouraged drinking by the
student body and the institution has
become known as the "dryest college"

WEDDING OF MRS. MARSHALL
AND C. C. MAURER OF YUMA

Mrs. Bernice Marshall and G. Carl
Maurer were quietly married last
week at the Baptist parsonage in Yu-
ma with Rev. III. III. Moore officiating.
The only witnesses to the ceremony
were the parents of the groom, Mr.
and Mrs. John Maurer, Mrs. w. G.
Haughtelin, sister of the bride, and j..
w. Garrett, Jr., best man.
After the ceremony the bridal party
motored to the Maurer ranch in the
valley, where wedding feast was
served at noon. In the evening an
informal reception was rendered the
happy couple, many friends from tht
valley and from Yuma extended con-
gratulations.
The bride was formerly from Will
liams and Flagstaff and is at present
with the E. F. Sanquinetti auditing
department of the general offices.
She will be at her post of duty as
usual on Tuesday morning. Mr.
Maurer is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Maurer of the Yuma valley, well
known ranchers who have made their
home here for many years. He is at
present connected with Wing Yick
Lung grocery establishment on Main
street. He is a member of the Dom
HERSHEY post, American Legion of Yu
ma and also of the "Forty and Eight. !"
He served with the Arizona boys dur
ing the period of the war and is a
popular member of the home town
post but no amount of persuasion
could induce the young couple to take
advantage of the Legion's leap year
offer to be married at the Gandolfo
hall and thus procure the many beau
tiful presents offered by the post for
the first couple married in the Legion
during the year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Maurer will be at
home for a short time at 55S First
avenue. They have already made
plans for new suburban home on a
two-acre site in the Marable tract
just below Yuma. They have the best
wishes of a host of friends for hap
py sequence to their marriage.-Yu-

FRANK DICKINSON STILL
A VERY SICK NAN

Frank L. Dickinson, who was
stricken some time ago with a very
serious malady and just lodged the
grim reaper by a hairs breath, has
taken relapse since moving up here
from Glendale. He was staying with
his brother-in-law, r. Thompson, at
the Bridgeport settlement until few
days ago, when he was removed to
Cottonwood to the home of his sons,
Vaudrey and Ed. Mr.. Dickinson has
been in very critical condition the
past few days, and at this time is
slightly improved, but his general
condition and the prognosis are not
at all neutrality-suspicious. News.

GAME WARDEN WILL STOCK
ARIZONA WITH PHEASANTS

Arrival of six pheasants and the
expected arrival in the next few days
of 200 pheasant eggs will mark
continuance in the attempt of State
Game Warden G. M. Willard to re-
stock Arizona with that class of game.
Mr.. Willard started his experiment
during a previous incumbency, releas-
ing the birds, which are about as large
as bantam chicken, in the Salt River
valley. They disappeared, probably
because of game hogs" who had no
respect for the law which places an
all year closed season on pheasant
shooting, Mr.. Willard said.
However, there was some uncertain
ty as to the cause of their disappear
ance, so Mr.. Willard hopes to make
