CHINA'S CREDIT.
Citizens of the Empire LOath to Lend
Their Money to the Gov.
ernment,

The following is an English trans.
lation in the Shanghai Mercury from
the Chinese paper, Shen Pao:
The Shen Pao laments the fact that
the Chinese people are not as ready
as people in the west to lend money
to the government. In China the
rulers look upon the empire as fam
lily to be administered for their pri
vate advantage. In western lands the
people are the kingdom and the rulers
act according to that principle.
For example, if wealthy land
owner wishes to borrow money and
applies to his children and servants
they are all willing to help him accord
ing to their ability, for they know the
land owner has PROPERTY enough to
make repayment sure. Now, the EN-.
people. Why cannot he, on the same
principles, borrow money from his
people? 1t must be because they do
not trust him.
All foreign countries have national
debts, which they owe to their own
people chiefly and only to other coun'
tries i'll a small degree. The govern
ments have no difficulty in floating
loans, which are at once covered by
their own people. who have such con.
fdence in their governments that they
lend money freely. There is mutual
trust and love between upper and
lower classes. Even if the time for re-
payment is hundreds of years off they
do not mind, for they know they will
get their interest as long as the king
dom lasts.
How different it is in China. The
people will not lend their money to
the state, and no promises will move
them. The curious thing is that the
bigger the national debt of these for
eign countries the more prosperous is
the country. Thus, Japan is an in
stance in point. This is because the
money was borrowed for the benefit
of the people, that railways, etc.
might be built. Inasmuch as much
money has been loaned to Japan by
other states these are unwilling to
injure her by going to war with her.
Now, Turkey is loaded with debt and
seems an exception to the rule above
enumerated. But she only proves the
rule. Why is she so poor? Because
she borrowed money and wasted it
She did not use it to build public
works, which would bring in vast
profits. If China borrows for right
uses national debt need be no him
drance to her prosperity; nay, it may
be an indispensable help on the path
of progress.

Special Council Meeting
To Consider a Franchise

The city council will hold an extra
session in the city hall this evening.
The main object OF the meeting is to
settle the question of the electric light
franchise.
There appears to be nothing to delay
the action of the council In the matter
this evening. Judge Barnes, who Is
pushing the franchise for Messrs. Ber-
nard and Pusch, is in the city. S. NJ.
Franklin, the representative of the old
company. returned from Los Angeles
this morning, so there can be no delay
from this score. Unless something
unexpected turns up, the question as to
whether Tucson will have to pay for
one or two plants will be definitely
decided this evening.
The mayor seems to favor the grant
ing of the franchise, and is opposed to
further delay in the matter. The
Councilmen are not directly opposed TO
the measure. but they want to see fair
play. Their idea is to grant the fran
chise, on the condition that the new
company will put up good and suff1-
cient bond to guarantee the erection of
plant which will compare favorably
with the one which the old company is
now constructing They are decidedly
opposed to granting special privileges
to any one when they can be held over
the heads of competitors as a menace.
However, IL the bond and guarantee
are forthcoming, the chances are there
will be no opposition to the measure.

march of Acona, finding himself on one
occasion In position In which he must
conquer or die. promised his soldiers
that If they secured the victory those
who fell should dine that very day
with the angels. They marched to the
combat with alacrity. but finding that
the cardinal was careful not to expose
himself, How is IT," said one Of them,

Good Roads Movement
About Stevens Avenue

There are a few citizens in Tucson
with enough public spirit about them
TO be on the lookout continually for
Ideas which will tend to better existing
conditions.
Another good road movement was
started in the city by these persons not
long ago, and 1t has been gaining
ground steadily ever since. The agi-
tation has reached a point where it
might be we'll to call the attention Of
the board of supervisors to 1t. The
people behind this movement are ad-
vocating the extension and widening
OF Stevens avenue
The thoroughfare Is very narrow at
present and affords q very poor en- !.
trance to the city The travel from the
mining camps and ranch country on
the west is very heavy over this road
at all times. The promoters of the
new scheme are anxious to have the
road widened to eighty feet and ex-
tended clear across the valley. Nearly
all the roads in and about Tucson have
been nothing more than COW trails in
former days. and Stevens avenue is
not much better right now. The pro-
moters of this new scheme have not
only the business interests OF the city
in view. but also the establishment of
drive which Will afford much pleas
ure to the people.
The Chamber of Commerce could do
much toward bringing about the i'm
provement Now appears to be the
best time to take the matter up, be-
cause practically all OF the property
owners on Stevens avenue are in favor
of 1t. and will donate the frontage to
make the necessary addition to the
street. However. the offer must be
taken advantage OF at once. This
would minimize the cost and result in
many benefits to Tucson.
There are few people who have given
the proposed plan much thought. but
glance at the city map win readily con-
vince most any one of its feasibility.
Here is Broadway on the north. Con-
gress street IN the center. and Pen
nington street on the south, an con-
verging into Stevens avenue. The
of the street would not only
give an excellent outlet to these thor |
Dughfares. but 1t would make a direct |
into the city for travellers |
rom the outside. The road could be |
improved. renamed and changed into a
boulevard. as 1t were, across
he valley.
The city council appears to be will
ng to do its part. as far as the city
s concerned. II the board Of super
-isors will take the initiative. No
oubt the Chamber of Commerce could
influence the board to take some action
n this matter.

that. never saw a cyclone revolve like

had missed Plymshaw and me and got
