but says: President Roosevelt and the national administration were not re- sponsible for this"
 But. returning to the original subject. Senator Foraker nor any one else con- tends that the rate bill in itself was of the slightest direct effect upon the country. As law there was never a more harmless and we may add, a more useless one. That quality of it was recognized before its passage, by certain senators who were generally believed to favor certain corporations. Otherwise. the bill never would have become law.
 Senator Foraker alone opposed the bill to the last on principle. Every so-called corporation senator voted for it with a cheerfulness not surpassed by that of the democratic and admin istration senators.

PHOENIX AaIz., JANUARY 2. 1909.
THE TOWNS MOST URGENT
 NEED.

If there is one thing more than an- other deserving of municipal atten- ton just now, il is the sewerage ques- tion. There is hardly a doubt that considerable part of the sickness of the fall and winter may be traced 10 de- fective sewerage. Though Phoenix has had sewerage system for about fifteen wears. many houses within the most populous districts are still unconnect- ed and are standing menaces not only to their occupants but to the occupants of ueighboring houses. who have talk en advantage of sewerage facilities The present management of the sewer company has energetically sought to bring all houses within the area cov- cred into connection, but has not met with a sufficient measure of success to guarantee the town against an cpl demic some of these days.
 The system does not cover enough ground. and the experience Of the owners in securing the solid patron age of those within the present dis trict has not encouraged them to ex- lend il into the populous neighbor- hoods which have grown up since the plant was installed.
 Phoenix is not now what it used to be say, fifteen years ago, when little attention was given 10 sanitary meas ures and when it was thought none were needed save the eternal sunshine and the pure, dry air. The quality of the town as a natural health resort is deteriorating as the population be- comes more dense Nature will have to be aided and in no direction can more effective aid be rendered than in supplying an ample sewer system and in enforcing the use of it.
 Perhaps this can best be done under municipal ownership. The Republican has consistently opposed public own ership. but now that the city has ac- quired the water works. it could more economically conduct the sewer sys- tenn than private owners can. We have understood that under its present handicap the sewer company is run ming its business at a profit. If so. the city with the power to increase the patronage of the system. could make it much more remunerative!
 But however it may be done, some thing should be done with the least possible delay. The present condi- tions are expensive in the way of doc tors bills and they are likely to be- come considerably more so and. in ad- dition, they are likely to give the town 6 bad name.

This time they have had the audacity to secure full and re- markedly accurate drawings of all the roads leading into Portland, Oregon. and have also the plans of Portland s waterworks and pipes. The mayor of that city announces that the mischief was accomplished before he knew of it. but he has notified the government al Washington Of the peril to which Portland is exposed. and 1t is probable that a regiment will be dispatched to it's defense at once for this is the most alarming war news the country has had since it was rumored that the Japanese spies last summer were be- traying interest in San Pedro.

PROMPT AcTIoN-Deputy sherl

PROMPT ACTION.-Deputy Sheriff White. who had trouble with the con- ductor on train between Tucson and Yuma. was promptly removed from office by his brother, Sheriff White. when he heard of the incident. He made the following statement to the Bisbee Review concerning it: Up to the present time have been unable to obtain any definite information in re- gard to the trouble which occurred. or what caused it. and have not even seen my brother. I will leave Tomb stone this morning for Tucson. and in vestigate this matter thoroughly. after which I will take proper action. l have not yet been able to take up the commission. but acting on the reports have received. I have revoked Ned's authority as an officer. and discharged him from all connection with this of- flee. I do not care whether he is a brother of mine. or any other deputy. they have to obey the law the same as anybody else. and maintain dig nity befitting a peace officer. Unless they do. I can very soon find men to take their places. Although as yet l have been unable to get into commu- nication with anyone who witnessed the affair am satisfied that my dep uty's actions were at least such as to make it impossible for me ot have him connected with the sherifrs office"

kEILNFR'S PLAN FOR
 MONETARY REFORM
Suggest the issuance of Certificates on Copper Deposited With the Govern nent.


 2. F. Kellner of Globe and Phoenix. has given to the Globe Miner his ideas of a plan for reliveing money string ency and providing a more elastic cur rency. IL is tersely put. the issuing of copper certificates" by the govern ment on copper bullion. Without comment one way or the other, the following excerpts are taken from a long article in the Miner. quoting Mir. Kellner:
 The government coins three classes of metals, namely. gold, silver and copper. Why should not the govern ment issue certificates upon the cop per bullion product as was. and is done in the case of silver and gold. Copper is the next precious of the three named metals and this would place in circulation a very large amount of money not now available and the government would have the collateral on hand all the time for the issue which could be cancelled at any time that the government desired to let go of the bullion held for the cer- tificates issued. By issuing copper certificates as is done in the case of silver and gold the situation would be relieved almost at once and money would rebound to Its former activity and refuse to remain in hid ing as it is now doing. too timid to show itself. only when strenuous and tempting offers seek its hiding place, and forces it upon the street there to be gobbled up as the worm is picked by the early morning bird.
 Besides this, the government in is- suing certificates upon copper bullion would heavily increase it's strength

with its gold reserves by frequent shipments of copper to England and foreign states which would return to the United States in exchange. the gold We require in our general circu- lation, and copper would not require expensive vaults or storehouses. The bullion could be placed anywhere with a fence around it and used as the de- mand came for it through the govern ment. acting as we'll as a deterrent upon speculative prices for the red metal in the hands of speculative sell ing agencies.

THE EFFECT OF THE RATE BILL

THE EFFECT OF THE RATE BILL. In the course of his Boston speech on Monday night. Secretary Taft made the following statement: Again, it is said that the rate bill for which the ad- ministration is responsible caused the panic" The secretary when he said that, had Senator Foraker in mind. for the senator has frequently traced the trouble back to the rate bill. He did not however. say that the bill itself scared the railroads or other corpora tions: or that it scared investors; on the contrary. he said while the bill was pending. and has frequently said since its enactment, that it was an in- effective and foolish measure, not creditable to any of the parties re- sponsible for it. If the senator was wrong that is yet to be proved. for it has effected nothing beyond the en- largement of the interstate commerce commission and an abolition of the pass system. Elsewhere in his speech MT. HlenNlOIlS lTdl lIlc pdSSdEc of the bill was followed by voluntary reduction of rates. though in the same sentence he admits that these were afterward raised. That is a fact. The voluntary reduction was made by a very few lines The subsequent in- crease made by nearly all lines left the rates throughout the country much higher than they had been before. We may add that in no case has the com mission inquired into the justice of these higher rates.
 What Senator Foraker meant, as he has himself explained, when he held the rate bill responsible for the trouble. was that the needless. wild agitation attending the inception and passage of the bill was the beginning of the anti-railroad mania which ragged in many state legislatures the following winter. and which was admittedly damaging to the railroads and to the states themselves.
 Elsewhere Mir. Taft comedies the ef- feet Of this subsequent. if rot cense- euent action by the state legislatures,

SUSPICIOUS Man
Seen AT ALBA
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN THE
ONE WHO ASSAULTED
SCHOOL GIRL.

Chief Gallagher has received word
from the chief of police of Abba that
he saw man who fitted the descript-
ion of the one wanted here for the at
tempted assault on Catherine Peter
son, the 9-year-old school girl at the
Adams building, Wednesday after
noon.
AS soon as Chief Gallager came to
the conclusion that the man might
have left the city he notified the sur
rounding towns yesterday. Word i'm
mediately came back that the man
had boarded the train at Abba for
Des Moines about $50 in the evening.
The Abba officer said the man went
into the ladies coach and that he was
SO dirty that the conductor made him
go into the smoking car.
A train left Ottumwa about half and
hour after the assault and it is ex-
pected that the unknown man might
have boarded it.
