DEBTS OF BIG CITIES.

Interesting facts regarding the debts
of big cities and their consequences
have come to light. Investigation
shows that Chicago has the least in
debtedness of any city approaching it
in size. Boston is one OF the most
heavily bonded communities; that
city has a net debt of 100000, or
1914 head. Philadelphia's debt is
$40 per capita and Cleveland's only
$34 To New York is reserved the
doubtful honor of heading the list
in the matter of liabilities.
Its enormous debt OF $600,OO0,000 rep
resents a liability of nearly $3.50 per
capita. In comparison with this, Chi
Cages debt of SOS 100000 or S33 per
head, seems a mere hagatelle. Under
the terms of the present charter this
debt cannot be materially increased
until the population grows and The
need of finding some way of further
financing in the meantime without
raising the taxes is what led Chicago
to seek the advice of other cities,
which are in the same predicament.
The committee of Illinois mayors
which is now working on the prob
lem is a unique organization Off
cially it has no existence, but prac
tically it is blazing the way for SINH
lar organizations which will be start
ed in other states if the Illinois plan
proves successful. The executives
met from time to time and compare
results, but most of the work is done
by individuals along lines laid out by
the whole body The investigation has
not been under way sufficiently long
for. any final conclusions to be reach
ed, but enough has already been ac~
complished 70 indicate the value OF the
work. Among the questions which
are receiving the attention are the
limit of bonded Indebtedness, the tax
ing Of public service corporations and
the financing Of municipal utilities, all
of which are vital questions TO all
cities large or small.

STATE CONVICTS AND ROAD
WORK.

The statement has been made that
Hon. George w. Donaghey, the next
governor of Arkansas, is disposed to
place one-half of the state convicts
on The state farm and to use the other
half in building good roads.
The good roads building is desir-
able thing, but Mr.. Donaghey must be
careful that he does not wrong the
farmers who pay road atxes and who
expect to recoup themselves by doing
road work in the neighborhoods in
which their farms are located.
If the convict farm is properly work
ed it should be possible to employ
nearly all of the convicts thereon and
make it a revenue producer to the
state instead Of burden. Mr.. Don
aghey could adopt the Illinois system
and place stone crusher on the farm
and thereby create work for the con-
victs while at the same time crushing
sufficient stone for the construction
of many miles of good state roads.
Mr.. Donaghey must be careful not
to place the convicts in competition
with free labor, and this he can do
while making them profitable to the
state.

TO ABOLISH DRINK
FROM SWITZERLAND

In reporting that the manufacture.
importation, and sale Of absinthe in
Switzerland is now prohibited, Vice
Consul Leo j Frankenthal Of Rerne
gives the following particulars Of the
recent referendum by which this was
accomplished
In a previous consular report by the
writer on the practical workings of the
popular initiative in Switzerland, the
absinthe Initiative was explained Mt
length. 1t was accepted by The Swiss
people on sunday, July D. 1908, by n
vote OF 236.5S2 against lS5,sss. The
total vote cast was 3f2,47O from d voting
strength OF over so7,T0O showing that
$50 600 voters did not go to the polls
Its acceptance amends the Swiss con-
stitution by Il paragraph prohibiting
the manufacture, Importation. and sale
of absinthe In Switzerland. Damages
will undoubtedly be paid to the manu-
Radturers in the Canton Neurhatei,E
where a flourishing export industry had
been built up. The federal alcohol
will lose a large sum annunl-
ly.
The vote of the French cantons-Ge-
neva, Vaud, Nalals, Frlbourg, and
Observation-Disclosures nbsinthe is con-
sumed, and where. in Geneva and
Vaud. its sale was recently prohibited
by cantonal ordinances, rejected the
federal initiative by a small majority
The vote in the German cantons, how
ever, where absinthe is practically un-
known, turned the tide in favor nf the
measure. Thus It's fate was decided for

ALrlOST A BLANK RECORD

Can a man learn of the wants
of his constituents by spending
the vacation months of congress
among boon companions of his
youth in a distant state instead
of circulating among his constis-
uents and learning of their needs:
asks the Prescott Journal Miner.
In the twenty years of Marcus
Aurelius Smiths residence in
Washington and Kentucky what
public moneys have been appro-
priated for public buildings out
side of Phoenix, which is not
yet completed? Has Bisbee a
public building, or Globe, or
Tucson, Prescott or Yuma? Has
any attempt been made by the
chronological successor of the
really great Marcus Aurelius to
secure appropriations? Up to
date over $225,00O has been Sc
cured for public buildings in our
neighboring territory of New
Mexico for postoffice buildings
through the direct efforts of the
republican delegate from that
territory and the democratic del
egates as we'll, when they have
been in Office. The money has
been secured by energetic action
by live delegates, men devoted
to the interests of their districts
and who have not spent their
congressional vacations among
boon companions in some far
away state.
The records will show that
even the two nominal appropri-
ations for Phoenix and Nogales
were secured through the efforts
of the corporate and civic bodies
of those sections and that in real
ity if Marcus Aurellus Smith
alone had been depended upon,
the appropriations would have
been minus quantities unto this
day.
