AN OPEN LETTER
In Which Some Things Are Said to
 the City Council.

To the City Council of Phoenix, Ari- zona- Gentlemen: On July 31 I was called upon to pay a license for the privilege of living in my house, built and paid for with money that brought with me to your city. I have been a properly owner many years, and know that city government cannot be maintained without money; conse- quently, am more than willing to meet all just demands. But in a city where most private families rent one or more rooms to strangers. without tax by the city, I cannot see justice in com pellinS those of US whose hard labor in caring for strangers in our homes adds materially to the city's prosperity, to pay a license fee on rooms used by members of our families. as well as those rented, simply because our homes are known as boarding and rooming houses.
 Much as l dislike to pose as a faul: finder, justice cCmpels me to ask if there is not a financier in your honor able body who is able to devise some plan for replenishing the municipal treasury which will not bear so un- justly upon women who are not only ''self supporting" but are rearing and educating the future citizens of our loved state (to be) of Arizona. The unrepresented. law-abiding woman cic- izens surely have a right to encourage m5nt from "the guardians of the ci,:- s welfare" as I take it, gentlemen of thc council, you consider yourselves. If you feel unable to meet this just le mand. it is to be hoped that the good citizens of Phoenix will see to it that your places are filled by men with brain enough to cope successfully with all the financial problems of an honorable city government; and with heart enough to prevent the burden of taxa tion from resting unequally upon the women citizens. R. G. PHILLIPS.

DEATH.

'I have caurted death upon the field of battle," cried the hero, and all in vain''
 The heroine curled her proud lips in scorn.
 "Of course" she sneered, there s only one way to court death right, and that is to let your life insurance lapse. v
 Now that women know something of affairs, it is going to be decidedly more difficult for men to be gay deceivers ever.

gentlemen had said they would not
support the bill if the entire sum was
appropriated now, but would support
it only if a portion was made available
at once to begin the work.
Corliss of Michigan thereupon Of
fered the following new section, which
was adopted:
Section 6. That the sum of S1O,-
OOO,O 900 is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the Treasury not other
wise appropriated toward the project
herein contemplated, and the Secretary
of War is further hereby authorized
to enter into a contract or contracts
for materials and work that may be
deemed necessary for the proper exca-
walton, construction, defense and COM
pletion of said canal, to be paid for as
appropriations may from time to time
be hereafter made, not to exceed IN the
aggregate $4,000, 000."
Fletcher of Minnesota asked: when
you get that canal half built for S140,-
900 900, what will you do for the other
half?"
Corliss answered that the highest es-
innate of cost thus far made was S133, :
600, 900.
Hepburn added that in the amend
ed form the bill simply applied the

gate to $140,000,000. In the amended
form the bill was ordered reported.
