Graft Probe Was Used In Graham.

Having represented the Detroit
Copper, Arizona Copper and Shannon
Copper companies in the investiga-
ton of alleged graft in Graham
county, Judge A. Z. Baker disclosed
the fact that Governor Sloan has for
some time had Expert Accountants
Willis and Graham for some time to
examine the accounts of some of the
public officials
Baker VS. e<peci lily interested in
the investigation OF the conduct OF
the jailers, justices, constables and
deputy sheriffs at Morenci, Clifton
and Metcalf, and in gathering evil
dence against them TO be presented
before the grand jury.
Jailers, for instance, were said to
have been making a practice of
charging the county for meals at the
rate of 20 cents each for men who
we're not serving time in the jails.
When a Mexican was sentenced to
ten or more days and paid his fine or
served only part of the time, the
jailer continued him on the books as
serving every day and charged for
his meals. This is alleged to have
continued some time, and to have re-
suited in Graham county losing thous-
ands of dollars.
The notorious side of the affair is
that in many instances the same men
who were being charged with the
meals in Jail we're at the same time
working for one of the mining COM
panies, their names appearing on the
payroll for the days they were sup
posed to be in Jail and eating
While no indictments were found
against any of the jailers, of eight
indictments found one was against a
deputy sheriff, who is alleged to have
made illegal charges against the
county.
Baker states that the bribery prob
ing has caused much excitement
throughout Graham county, and the
people are much exercised oyer the
disclosures that have thus far been
made. The grand jury has adjourn
ed, but the graft charges will be
brought up again in October.

Graham County Five DELEGATES.

Governor Sloan has given out the
apportionment of delegates to the
constitutional convention as made by
the governor, Chief Justice Edward
Kent and Secretary George U.
Young, under the terms of the state
hood enabling act.
The apportionment was made in
strict compliance with the act, the
result reached being purely matter
of mathematics, it being based upon
the voting population as shown by
the votes cast at the election for
delegate in congress in 1908.
The unit of apportionment was
532, and was obtained by dividing the
total vote at said election by the
number of delegates, to-wit, -.
The number of delegates appor-
toned to each county was ascertain
ed by dividing the total vote cast at
said election for delegate in said
county by said unit.
Wherever there was a fraction and
the fraction exceeded one-half the
unit, a delegate was added to the APP
portionment. Wherever the fraction
was less than one-balf the unit no
additional delegate was given.
Ia one instance, however, a dele
gate was added where the fraction
was less than one-half the unit. In
this case the extra DELICATE was given
to ahe county whose fraction ap-
preached nearest one-half the unit

AND COST OF LIVING

Some public men and editors have
refused to take the cost of living cry
seriously, and they direct attention on
all occasions ito our extraordinary
expenditures on Injuries and com
forts.
What greater evidence of general
prosperity can there be, they ask,
than that afforded by recordhreaking
tides of tourist travel, by heavy in
creases in importations OF art works
diamonds furs, silk, etc, by the auto
mobile boom etc?
Official figures show that the in
crease in imports for the last fiscal
year was s246, 100000 and while the
imports of manufacturers materials
were the largest Of record. every line
of luynries, from art works to cham
payne. registered notable gain.
What is the meaning Of such fig
ures? Evidently many groups anu
sections OF the population have not
felt the pinch nor been driven to
economic. And liberal expenditures
on travel. on amusements, on com
forts spell a great demand for labor
with rising wages. 1t would be ao-
sufd to deny that many housewives
have been hard put to it to make
the ends meet, or that prices have
risen in recent years, or that these
who live on fixed salaries or fixed IN
comes have had condition rather
than "cry" TO deal with.
Still. the evidences Of abundance on
every hand present puzzle to the
serious student of the situation, and a

We may, as a people, be less thrifty
than we should be. but where money

the Democrats are also active. They
