ing of markets which could not other
the opinion of Mr.. Bunch that any
considerable part of the people now
wanted to cancel that agreement with
the railroads.
THE LAW SUSTAINED.
Mr.. Williams, who had announced
the day before that he would speak
on the bill. first took up the legal
phase of the case. He pointed out
that the supreme court decisions quot
ed by Mr. Rell the day before had
nothing whatever to do with the pres
cnt case. Beside, the right of the leg
islaturc to pass those exemption acts
of this county and by the supreme
court Of the territory.
Mr.. Williams further showed that
the Legislature had the unanimous
support of the people when it passed
the first exemption law. They had
ried through the legislature to vote the
railroad a subsidy and a bill had been
passed but the ratification Of it by
congress had been vetoed by President
Harrison. The speaker had been in
formed that when the news Of the veto
reached Phoenix the indignation was
50 great that the president was b1rnci
in cffiCy. Then tile next best thing
was done. Tire railroad was granted
immunity from taxes for period OF
ears and from all the speaker could
learn the people had made a good bar
gain.
BENEFICIAL "HOT AIR"
Alr. Hull delivered a brief but spir-
tied address in opposition To the bill
in which he warmly resented the i'm
plication by Mr.. Bell the day before
that the railroads had used undue in
fluence in securing the passage OF the
tax exemption bills. Il had even been
hinted that money might have been
employed; anyway corporation hire
lings had overcome the legislatures by
"hOt air"
Mr.. Hull said that he was 4 mem-
Der OF two legislatures which had
passed such bills and he was proud of
that work; he was proud Of the re-
suits. II this legislation had been ef-
fected by hot air." ii would be q good
thing if the same kind Of hot air"
could be made to inspire other Iegis-
lation. Nothing he said had done so
much for the development Of the ter
rtory as the building Of these branch
lines throughout it,
HISTORY OF EXEMPTION BILLS.
The debate for the opposition was
concluded b. SIR. Crenshaw. whose ad-
dress was partly legal and partly re-
miniscent. He showed at considera-
bic length that the supreme court de-
cisions which Mr.. Bell had quoted the
day before had no applicability what
ever to the present situation and that
there could not he the slightest legal
doubt that the legislature had a right
10 pass those bills and that in doing
so it established a contract with the
railroad company which was sacred:
that the rights which the company had
acquired were vested and could not be
disturbed by the proposed legislation.
Mr.. Crenshaw said he was here long
before The railroads were built He
remembered the joy with which it had

said apparently everything he had to
say. and more too. on that subject the
day before. it seemed proper Tor the
other side to have an inning.

Make the Children Partners.

One of the best ways to keep the
children on the farm is to give them the
feeling that they have partnership in
the business. The little man as we'll as
the baby daughter may be given a brood
of chickens, lamb or calf for their very
own and taught to care for it: and when
ANYTHING belonging to a child in this
manner is disposed of the proceeds
should be given to the child-half to be
put in the bank aud half for the little
ones pocketbook, to be kept till he
wishes to spend it. If necessary, a child
may use this money for clothes or some
article for his personal use. The par
ents may make suggestions and help
when it comes to making the purchase
but the child should be allowed to make
his own decision as to what he will get
and helped to carry it out. This will
teach self-reliance and help to form the
habit of saving something, also to spend
prudently. 1t is sad fact that many
farmers children in the past have work,
ed until well on in their teens without
cent of money to do as they chose with,
the father supplying their needs. They
got the impression that there was no
money in farming and no wonder city
life seemed alluring. The abandoned
farms we see everywhere are the result
of the children of by-gone days seeing
only the seamy side of farm life with its
hardships and toll lasting from early
morning till late at night, without
sufficient recreation and pleasure to
counteract it's effect. / believe in Civ
ing a certain field or tract of land on the
farm to the boy-not merely by word
but by legal deed-while he is still
young and encouraging and helping him
to plant only a small piece of 1t ii he is
toe young to do much; then as he grows
older he can work the land more with
larger profits. To the ordinary boy this
would awaken an interest in farming and
help to keep him there. This might
cost the father something when time
money and use of the land is considered
but after all it is more than likely to bt
paying investment in the end as tt
most farmers it is worth much to have
their sons near them in their old age
Encourage the young people to have
good time in their own homes and
neighborhood. 1t is their right to enjoy
life while they are young and free from
care.-Judith Huckins in New Englanc
