THE great rivalry between the
various States and Territories for
the raising of revenue from corpo-
rations, will finally have to be
stopped by the National Govern
ment. There are getting to be so
many corporations by reason of
the cheapness with which they can
be organized, that it is of great inn
portance for person to keep
sharp lookout for the sharper in
hiding behind the name of. some
corporation whose debts are not
lien on the personal property of
the members of the company. Until
the National Government sees fit
to put q stop to this form of chi
canery, or unit J the people who
practice it wear the game out, it
will continue to go on increasing.

A coNTEMPoRY saws that a thief

A CoNTEMPoRY says that thief
is any person. who knowingly
holds a thing as his own when he
we'll knows it belongs to some one
else. This definition is all right.
1t might be made to include the
fellow who is always trying to
work up some kind of a scheme to
get what some one else has, with
out giving value received. There
are great many of just that kind
of thieves in Arizona. The per-
centage, however, is not any larger
than in any other State or Territory
When a man is once caught at the
swindling act he should be branded
as an outcast. There should be an
island to which the moral lepers
should be banished. Good people
must awaken or they may some
day find that they are too late.
The grasping grafters will have a
mortgage on them all.

THREE NEW oAEs.
President Arnold of the Electric Railway
Secures Cars for Local Line.

President Arnold OF the Electric Railway
Secures Cars for Local Line.
Superintendent Willis Russell of the
Kenosha electric railway announces
that within the next few days Kenosha
will have a full set of new street cars.
The cars we're purchased by Mr. Arm
old and were shipped from New York
on last Friday and are expected to ar
rive in Kenosha by the last of this
week or the first of. next week. The
cars were built expressly for the Keno
sha Electric Railway company by one
of the largest car making firms in the
East and it is said that they are mod
ern in every detail. The cars are of
the class known as the combination
cars and can be used for both summer
ard winter traffic. They have seats
running across the car and are said to
be the most comfortable car now IN use
for the summer months.
With the coming Of the new cars the
old ones will be retired from service
for the time being and the new cars
will be utilized until the coming of cold
weather forces the company to put the
black and yellow cars on the run again.
With the addition of third car to the
rolling stock of the company Mr.. Arm
old believes that he will be able to give
almost perfect service on the local line.
He will then be able to establish a full
system of transfers and will be able to
make the entire circuit of the local line
of the company twice every hour.
While these steps are being taken to
improve the local service the work of
extending the line to the Southwark is
being pushed and every day right of
way for the line to the south is being
purchased by Volney Foster, of Evans
ton, for the company which is said to
be allied with the Kenosha local COM
pany. No start has been made on the
building of the line but the surveyors
of the company are at work preparing
the plans for the installation of the
road and it now seems very possible
that the line will be built this year.
Mr.. Arnold will return from New York
this week and on his return confer
ence of the interested parties will be
held and some decision in regard to be-
ginning the work will be made.
The Railway company has performed
nearly all the thingsEdemanded by the
City Council and with the arrival of
the new cars they will be fitted with
tenders before they are started on their
initial trip. The Railway company
has been exceedingly fortunate in Ke-
nosha and thus far not single acct
dent has been reported.

The occasion for placing a limit on the

people. The membership has now reached
$50 persons. and with the admission Of
fifteen more, who have made application

mitted.
In regard TO raising the admission fee
OF the club from $40 10 SOS Mr.. Hull sai,S
AT SIS entrance to the club is very
reasonable considering the amount
charged for admission to those in Kan
sas City and Chicago. OF course. clubs
in those cities have larger houses and
larger grounds. but none will be any bet
ter nor more complete than ours when all
is finished.
''The regular charge OF admission to
any of the clubs outside OF Wichita is
not less than $50. and to some the adj
mission fee is as high as $loo. I'll ven
ture to say that when our club house
is finished and the work of putting the
grounds in shape is done the city will
have as complete a golf course and as fine
a club house as any city in the country
with a population of 10000 people.
The meeting one week from next
Wednesday will take place in the Com
mercial club rooms.

PENALTY FELL ON
HIS OWN HEAD
HELPED Pass Law Under Which
He Was Arrested.
OSCAR BARNES FINED S25
Charged with Violating Chief
Burt'S Order.
OSCAR BARNES FINED S25

Oscar Barnes, of the firm OF Barnes &
Newcomb. is victim of circumstances.
He was fined SIS yesterday in police
court by Judge Stanley for violating an
ordinance which was passed by the city
council while he was a member Of that
body. Naturally he paid the fine, but
erumbled against the irony of fate.
The charge brought against Mr.. Barnes
was that of disobeying the ordinance is
sued a short time since by the chief Of
police requiring all property owners or
occupants of business buildings TO clean
up the alleys and spaces in the rear OF
their buildings and remove such boxes
and other rubbish as would prove dam
gerous in case of fire. II is alleged that
several large piano and organ boxes were
piled in the rear of the building occu-
pied by Barnes & Newcomb and that
Mr.. Barnes refused to remove them as
ordered by the police department Inc
ordinance under which the order was
issued states that any violation Of any
mart of the ordinance shall be punish
able By fine or Imprisonment. but it is
SAID Itldl NJ Dbl itcS itiH tAAfAN ~
clear himself on the strength of another
ordinance and cited a number Of cases
where boxes were allowed to remain in
the rear of buildings.
Mr. Barnes appeared, by his attorney,
before Judge Stanley yesterday after
noon and the attorney attempted to show
that the boxes were not infammable,
therefore not coming under the provi-
sions Of the ordinance. Judge Stanley
could not see it that way, however. and
said the case came clearly under the or
dinance under which the order was is
sued The attorney protested, and so did
the Judge. but finally Judge Stanley set
lied the matter by fning Mr.. Barnes SO.
At the time the order was issued twelve
hoboes with teams and wagons were
put to work in the alleys TO give them
a general cleaning. and the chief of po-
lice asked the people of the city TO CO.
operate with him in placing the city IN
q more presentable condition for the car
nival Pad fair. Many people have taken
the matter in the right manner and have
assisted the street force in cleaning up
the alleys. Others resent the Intrusion
into their backwards and alleys and are
causing the city authorities no small
amount of trouble.
