PARKING AND A FEE FOR 1T.

Here is an idea which may raise
howl from motorists, but is likely to
interest taxpayers in general. 1t comes
from Boston.
License motorists for street parking.
Charge. say. SIS for every car that
wants the privilege of parking on the
street, and make the car carry spe-
cial parking tag. Then arrest any one
found parking without license, and
revoke the license of any one who
parks overtime or improperly.
Some other cities-the larger ones,
of course-are said to be considering
the plan If it were adopted some
provision should be made for out-of-
town visitors unfamiliar with the sys-
tenn And the price should be suited
to the town. But those are mere de-
tails. 1t is of vital interest to the
town or city that parking space be
available for out-of-town visitors, even
if home citizens do pay parking
license.
One could say that the city cannot
enter into the business of selling space
in the public streets. The streets are
free to all, and while the city can
make numerous regulations and re-
strictions under it's police power and
applying to everybody, it cannot offer
the streets or any part of them to one
class of persons-those who are will
ing to pay fee for the right to park.
People who look upon the automo-
bile as an unfailing spring which may
be counted upon constantly to yield
fresh flow of money for State and
municipal purposes do not realize that
it is the most common and most uni
versal means of transportation. 1t is
not luxury but necessity. 1t is
fast means of getting about that in
creases the efficiency of the person
who uses it. Some cities realize this
and encourage motorists to come to
them by providing free parking space
and announcing that there are no re-
strictions. And they find it profitable
to invite the people from the surroun-
ding country to leave their cars In the
streets in designated places, where
they cause the least interference with
the flow of traffic.

The net deficit of the 1926 baseball
season for the Douglas team is
$265.4S and the directors plan to
wipe out at least part of this debt
by conducting a Valentine day dance at
the Gadsden hotel on the night of
Saturday, February 13. Francis Ames
and Nose Kline were appointed to
have charge of this affair at which
a $3.50 radio will be given away
All directors present expressed
pleasure over the fact that there
was but such small deficit incurred
last season and all stated that they
believe this year, the entire base
ball proposition can be placed on a
firm financial basis. It was the con-
sensus of opinion that Fort Bayard,
Ell Paso and Juarez will be willing
to enter such a ieague as suggested
and most of the directors think that
Hurley and Santa Rita also can be
drawn in. Whether or not Bisbee
will enter appears doubtful as the

of the National Sportsman's club of
Newark, N. j., conferred with Jack
Curley, Georges Carpenters Ameri-
can representative today concerning
match between Carpenter and
Young Stribling, Macon, Ca, light

No definite date was discussed by

this country Wednesday.
Primarily, Carpenter is coming
here as the advance agent of Paolino,
the Spanish heavyweight. Francois
Descamps, who manages the business
affairs of both Paolino and Carpen-
tier, will arrive later with Paolino.
Tex Rickard said today he expected
to have Carpenter appear at Madison
Square Garden, but he refused to
say against whom he would pit him.
Rickard is more interested in the
American invasion of Paolino and
he already has said he will offer
the Spanish heavyweight a match
with either Harry Wills or Gene
