THf CLUBS COMPLAINT
 BEFORE COMMISSION
Acknowledgements of Receipt of Peti-
 ton Against Wells Fargo 6 Go.

The Maricopa County Commercial club yesterday received from the sec retary Of the interstate commerce commission an acknowledgement of the receipt of the petition of the club against Wells Fargo and company complaining of discriminatons by the company against Phoenix and the Salt River valley. In the acknowledgement it was stated that a copy of the peti- |, tion had been forwarded to the com pany. with directions to file answer within twenty days from April 2l the date of the receipt of the petition.
 The petition in the first place set out the fact of the organization of the petitioner composed of merchants and shippers of this country. It was then alleged that the express company was a common carrier subject to the pro visions of the interstate commerce act and all acts amendatory thereto.
 l. Was stated that Maricopa county
 is an agricultural. horticultural. live stock and mining district. producing among other things butter, cheese. milk. vegetables. fruit. melons eggs. meat and poultry and that owing to climatic conditions such products must [ be transported by express It Is also pointed out that this region being re- mote from tide water express service is a necessity in getting in seasonable goods. fish and other sea food pro- ducts. In consequence the rates exact ed by the defendant express company are of general interest and of i'm portanee to merchants and consumers i alike
 Then follows a statement showing wherein the defendant dis riminates against the towns of Phoenix. Tempe and Mesa This consists of four com parative tables showing rates from Phoenix to various points in and out of the territory and against them are set the rates within the state of Texas for similar distances. Then there is table of comparative rates for similar distances from points in different parts of the country. It is shown for in stance that the rate from San Diego to Los Angeles. 126 miles is $1 per hun dred pounds while the rate from Phoe- nix to Prescott a distance of 137 miles 1 is g. From Kansas City to Dillon. Mont. 1450 miles the rate is s6; the ate from Kansas City to Phoenix. 1883 miles. is $10.25: Los Angeles to Lords burg. 6S2 miles. is $4.75; Los Angeles to Phoenix, 446 miles, is $5.25
 Another comparison is as follows: A twenty pound melon from Phoenix to Iron Springs would cost .75; the charge in Texas for the same distance would be .12 1-2; from Phoenix to Globe a case of % dozen eggs the rate is s2.20; for a similar distance in Texas the rate would be .I7.

AMERICAN PERJURfR
 WILL ESCAPE TRIAL
Caldwell, the Witness in the Druce Case Dying in an Insane Hospital

New York, April 26.-There seems little chance for Robert Caldwell, the Great American Identifier" ever to face an English court to answer the charge of perjury that has been made against him. He is in the city insane hospital at Wards Island and is re- ported by physicians to be getting weaker daily and that he has but short time to live.
 Caldwell went to England and testi- fled in the famous Druce case. that he know Druce as the Duke of Portland and that he arranged false burial for Druce. placing a roll of lead in the coffin. When the grave was opened Caldwell's statement was proved un- true and he escaped to America. He was indicted and demand was made for his extradition. Two months ago he was sent to the insane hospital

From the forgoing S16.00O.OO is loss to the County General fund; which can only be made good by increasing the Farmers taxes.
 The total of the City revenue is required to meet current expenses, it cannot be aug mented without Territorial legislative action. Taxation is now at its highest legal limit. Reduced valuations inevitable, when the a. bove elininations occur, will pro-rata reduce the tax levy; this will precipitate a financial climax for which there is no compensating advantage and no recourse, a condition as deplorabe as it is unwarranted and irredeem- able.

THE IN0PERATIVENfSS
 OF PROHIBITORY LAW
Testimony to the Failure of Trying to Make Men Moral by Legislation.
Jefferson Davis.

That it Gntemperance) is at the root of many social disorders is con- ceded: but then the question arises, what is the appropriate remedy. and what the present necessity? To de- stroy individual liberty and moral re- sponsibility would be to eradicate one evil by the substitution of another. The abuse and not the use of stimu- lants. it must be confessed, is the evil 10 be remedied. l might appeal to men no; as old as myself to sustain the assertion that the convivial use of intoxicants and the occurrence of drunkenness had become less frequent within the last twenty years than it was before. The refining influence of education and Christianity may be credited with this result. Why not all low these blessed handmaidens of vir- tue and morality to continue unembar- raSsed their civilizing work"

Colonel George E. Warina.

If anything has been proved by a third If a century of prohibition it is that it does not prohibit. It prevents the regulation of the liquor traffic and the collection of public revenue. It does not prevent the excessive and de- moralizing use of liquor in open and eNultant violation of law. No fair view can be taken of the situation without bearing constantly in mind that this is a land of absolute religious freedom; that one has as much legal right to believe one thing as another or tu be- licve nothing. The church may per suade man: it cannot force him.

cure for that mysterious disease.
In many ways the hospital will be
unique. Its patients will be those suf-

will be, first to cure ailments which
have failed to respond to ordinary
treatment, and second. to afford ma
