Cubs Go To Buckeye
Friday Seventh

The Coolidge Cubs go to Buck
eye Friday to try for their first
victory. The Hawks" already have
won one game and tied one. They
played Casa Grande Cougars to an
$50 score. The Florence Gophers
slipped up on them and held the
game to a scoreless tie. The
Hawks VIII probably be pretty
tough and the game should be
fairly close.
In Spite of the trouncing Cooli-
dge received last Friday night the
BOYS still have the "Old School
Spirit" Coach Couchie, of the Mesa
Jackrabbits. said that regardless
of the score. the Cubs played them
a better offensive game than any
other team this year.
The Cubs still have eight games
to play, so let's don't lose confid-
ence just over one defeat.
The lineup will be the same as
last week, with two exceptions:
Hershel Holmes viii be shifted in
to the backfield, replacing Captain
Fielden Weddle, who fractured his
shoulder in the Mesa game; and
w. T. Smothers will play right end.
This being done will make the
line up as following: Jack Bickford
fulback, Hershel Holmes halfback,
d. G. Shoemaker halfback, Herel
Bickford, quarterback, w. T. Smot-

What Will the New
Tax Rate Be If We
Vote the Grammar
School Bonds
BY w. D. Kirby

The Taxpayers have asked this
question and they should know.
III have the following information
fer the Grammar School or District
Number 81.
The logical way to arrive at an
increase would be to take the tax
rate as it is now for 1888. Thus:
$2.64 per 500 State and County;
$1.OO64 per 500 High School;
$0.4O3O per 500 Grammar School;
$O.1577 per 500 Electrical Dist;
$4.2O71 Total.
The tax rate for 1888 will remain
unclaimed.
1910. The principal and inter
est or the now bonds Of S33 10000
is scheduled to run from 1910 to
1853 both inclusive. 1t is on these
years that fair tax rate should be
figured
The tax rate for 1910 will be the
highest of any of the years from
1910 to 1858 both inclusive. w
shall, therefore, figure the tax rate
increase for the year 1910, clearly
stating the facts that from 1910
Il
Assuming that the same tax rate
would be in force in 1910 as it is
now for 1888 it would be:
s2.64 per 800 State and County;
1.OO64 per 500 High School;
O.4O3O per 800 Grammar School,
or District No. 21;
O1577 per 500 Electrical District;
O.1259 per 800 Tax Increase
S4.333O per 800 Total
This would be the new tax rate,
the difference between it and the
old rate is exactly $O1259 per 800
evaluation or 1919 cents 02@c)
per 800 increase
These figures are from the ASS
essor's office and have been check
ed with the Treasurer's office for
accuracy.
The schoo, is now forced to
spend $4950O per year for rent.
After Christmas this will no doubt
be increased with the general IN
flux of transients. This sum
would apply on retirement of our
Indebtedness.
Transportation is now a serious
problem with the schools scattered
as they are.
If the bonds are voted the Board
or Trustees will Immediately adver-
tise for new school sites and ho'd
an election to determine the loca-
ton. The people will vote on
choosing the site. 1t is selected
by the will of the majority.
The Grammar School, or District
No. 21, has asked for bond issue
of $6O,O0O.OO. OF this amount the
taxpayers are asked to vote $33,
10000. Application has been made
to the Federal Government for a
grant OF $27,00O00.
A minimum of ten class rooms IS.
contemplated, together with an OF
flee, nurses room, teachers room
and rest rooms
The election will be held in the
Grammar School building Satur-
doy, OCTOBER 18th, between the
hours of 1000 A. M. and 60 PM.

ezne Aen Canadian visitors to
the Sunshine State are forced TO
cut their visits short because of
present United States customs
regulations, it is pointed out to-
day by officials of the Florida
State Chamber of Commerce.
Although Canada permits tour
lists to enter the Dominion for six
months without putting up bond
for expectation of their automo-
biIes, the United States only gives
Canadian visitors a free entry
period of 90 days and requires an
expectation bond for any longer
period. they explained
The red tape and the trouble of
getting entry and bond for a more
than 90-day visit causes many
Canadians to leave Florida ear
lier than they would have other
wise and the state rdivarious
communities thereby lose much
tourist revenue they would have
received.
Letters explaining the matter
and requesting a change in the
United States regulations were
today sent by Harold COlee, State
Chamber president. to members
of Florida's delegation in Wash
ington.
Although it NAV require
change IN the Tariff Act of 1880,
State Chamber leaders are insist
ent that something must be done
so that the United States and
Florida may at least reciprocate
the six months free entry cour-
tesy already extended by Can
ada.
Scores of complaints on the
matter have been made by Can

bers of Commerce in Florida as
