From some of the objections we have seen to the new tax law,
we judge that it is not generally known that a suitable method of ar
bitration is provided for the dissatisfied tax payer. We quote the fpl-
lowing from Section Six. of said Act:
"If any tax payer is dissatisfied with the action of said board, he
may within ten days from the giving of said notice In case of resi
dents, and within twenty days In case of non-residents of the county
give notice to said board that he demands an arbitration, giving at
the same time the name of his arbitrator; the board shall name Its
arbitrator within three (3) days thereafter, and these two shall se
lect a third, a majority of whom shall fix the assessments and the
property on which said tax paver shail pay taxes, and said decision
shall be final, except so far as the same may be affected by the find
ings and orders of the State Tax Commissioners as hereinafter pro
vided. The said arbitrators shall be tree-holders of the county, and
shall render their decision within ten days from the date of the
naming ot the arbitrator by said hoard, else the decision of said board
shall stand affirmed and fhall be binding in the premises. Said arbitra
tion shall be had and the said arbitrator shall be compensated in the
same manner as is now provided for the arbitration of individual tax
returns, except in so far as the existing law may be modified by the
provisions of this section.
"Before entering upon a hearing, the said arbitrators shall take
an oath before the Tax Receiver that they will faithfully and im
partially make a '.rue and Just statement of the tax returns and prop
erty in question and will determine the matters submitted to them,
according to law and the justice and equity of tho case.”

.Mazatlan, June 3.—It is regarded
as a foregone conclusion that the
town will fall when General Obre-
gon, the Constitutionalist comman
der, gives the word. Twenty-four
hundred Federate are bottled i
here, unnlble to do offensive work.
General Obregon has cut all rail

preventing the Huerta forces from
obtaining ammunition.

Editor Times-Enterprise:
For the past two years or more,
when the fountain at the
Court House was cleaned, it
has been the custom to give away all
the little gold fish that have grown
in the fountain, to the children of

cleaned, it is the wish that the lit

should have all that are to bo given
away. Any little girl that lives in
the country can have two little
