Our New Rallroaa.

A company has be organized in phoe- nix to build a railroad from that city to Benson by the way of Florence, to be known as the Phoenix and Eastern, the distance being about 250 miles. Mr. Frank NJ. Murphy, presidentof the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix, is Ut the head of the organization, and the directorate of the two roads will be much the same. Tine surveying party in charge of Mir. Leroy Orton, which left Florence two weeks ago, is now in the neighborhood of Kelvin, thirty miles east of here. and has run very satisfactory line that distance. It will hug the Gila river, and will have no heavy grades. AL the box canyon of the Bnttes, where the river runs through gorge and makes bend, two bridges will be built across the Gila, which at this point is less than l50 feet wide, with solid rock abut- ments. This is really the only difi- cult problem on the proposed road, and Mr. orton has solved it to his en- tire satisfaction. The work of the engineers has been most thorough, in  some places as many as three lines having been run. The survey so far bears the stamp of being anything but preliminary, and when it is completed, it is safe to say, the plans and estimates will be ready for the contractors.
 Mir. Murphy is now in Europe, but will return next mouth with ample capital for the entire construction, which win be pushed from both ends.

In re The Belgian Hare.

California, where the Belgian har'
fad had it's origin in this country, i
now dwelling in continuous alarm les
the hares escape from captivity ane
infict nuisance upon the state lik'
unto the Australian rabbit plague
through their great fecundity. Ac
cordingly the county boards are max
ing stringent regulations against al
lowing the creatures to run at large
and inficting severe penalties upon
the tired breeders who turn their
stock loose. It is said that a great
many owners, discouraged at the fall
ing off in profits which rewarded the
first enterprising promoters of the
rabbit craze, are willing to give the
pets away, and if they can't do that,
would gladly open the rabbitries and
let them go.
In the early stages of the craze we
used to hear much of the succulence
of Belgian hare meat, and of the
hotels and restaurants that stood
ready to take it all at 20 cents a
pound or more, but it was sad that
the value of the animal for breeding
was such that some could be spared
for food. Now, if the point is
reached where the hares are no longer
profitable for breeding, why are not
the tables of the hotels, restaurants
and households supplied with Bel
gian hare meat? If the pets are de-
sirable for food, it would seem as if
in order to get rid of them.
It should certainly be possible now
to get Belgian hare meat in a good
many places at reasonable prices,
but we do not hear of it being ganer-
silly served. 1t is not as rule on the
bills of fare of hotels and restaurants.
Why is this? Has it proven less des-
irable for food than was thought? We
know that people have never been
very fond of the ordinary rabbit as
steady diet. Is the Belgian hare
really any better? Let some expert

Why ToIstoy Became A Peasant.
upon.

The earlier reformers had regarded
the Russian peasantry as So much
valuable raw material, which would
display it's true value when impreg
mated with revolutionary moral and
political ideas. Tolstoy never had
anything to do with revolution; and
in morals he found better standard
among the peasants than anywhere
else. He was convinced that culture
had nothing to do with morality, and
he became Therefore pupil rather
than master in the great peasant
school.
1T is plainly that which dsferen-
tiates Tolstoy from the hundreds of
other educated Russians who devote
their lives to the people and earn in
return nothing better than the repu-
tation characters" and the be-
nevolent contempt of PEASANTS who
do not understand them, and whom
they do not understand. But Tolstoy
found not only his ethical but also
his aesthetic doctrines realized among
the people. The common life, he
says, is not only the basis of all true
morals, but Of all true art. What
cannot be understood by the simplest,
ne argues again and again, is not true
art. Art requires no commentary;
it is infective in its nature, and if ii
is not, it is not true art. 1t is q

From Every Family S2S.

In the General Deficiency bill reported
to the House $21, $50, 600 for military and
Us, 973, 145 for naval purposes are carried.
Added to the regular appropriations for
army, navy and pensions, which aggregate
$39s, 942, 103. This will bring the total
appropriations for these purposes made at
this session of Congress up to 1924, 265, 248.
But does this imposing row of nine figures
clearly convey anything to the average
readers mind as to his individual share
of the enormous burden? We fancy not.
1t will help the average American man
to grasp it better if we say that if he is
the head of the average family of five
persons he will have to pay this year lust
about $28 as his share of the taxation nee
essary to meet this vast military outlay.
This is larger tax per capita for mill
tary expenditures than is borne by the
people of any other nation on earth And.
if it were only taken in direct taxation,
so that every head of family of five re-
ceived his yearly bill ''for military pur-
poses, $28, - there would be a revolt against
it that would break the party responsible
for it.
William Pitt said long ago: ''To levy
direct tax of per cent. is a dangerous
experiment in free country, and may ex-
cite revolt; but there is method by which
you can tax the last rag from the back and
the last bite from the mouth without
causing murmur against high taxes, and
that is to tax great many articles of daily
use and necessity SO indirectly that the
people will pay them and not know ii.

SENATOR DEPEw's INAccuRAcY.

Erroneous Notion That the Mer-
chant Fleets of Great Britain. Nor
way, ETC., Are Largely Subsidized.
Senator Depew's speech in support Of
the ship subsidy bill contained the Gu
riously inaccurate statement that "all
nations are agreed that their merchant
marine can be built up only by boun-
ties.''
If instead he had said that all the
nations whose merchant marines are
greatest and growing fastest grant no
subsidies or bounties at all of the kind
provided by the Hanna Frye bill. be
would have told the exact truth.
Great Britain aud Norway are the
two countries whose merchant ship
ping shows the largest rates of annual
increase. Norway pays no ship sub
sides or bounties of any kind. Great
Britain pays none either Of the kind
proposed by Mr.. Hanna and pleaded
for by our junior senator.
No British shipowner draws cent
from the British treasury because bis
ships are built in British shipyalds or
because the wages paid to British
crews are higher than those paid to
Russian or italian crews, though they
are.
The British government pays for the
carrying Of the mails. and the fastest
steamers get the money every time. 1t
also pays certain stipulated sums for
the right to carry certain swift steam
ships on its list of auxiliary wag vessels
and to muster them into the govern
ment's naval service at any time. And
In consideration CT these payments
such merchant vessels have to be so
constructed as to be quickly cenyerti-
BILE into armed cruisers.
In short, the SO called British boun-
ties or subsidies are nothing more than
payments for actual value received Ell
Their in the shape of mail or war sery-
ice. The Hanna-Frye subsidy scheme
is not framed on the value received"
principle at all. 1t is bald PROPOSE
