Sue Graham County For Road Tax.

Tucson.-Attorney General John B.
Wright. last week filed in the Pima
district court a mandamus suit to
compel the board of supervisors of
Graham county to make an assess
ment for the territorial road tax for
both 1909 and 1910.
The suit to force the board to make
an assessment of 25 cents for each
year, thus providing a so cent assess
ment, which must be paid this-year.
Graham county got out of the road
tax last year, bnt was not to escape
after all, and the payment will now
come all the harder, being doubled.
The action of Graham county is
merely more determined than other
counties which have, protested
against the territorial road tax, from
which only Moricopa, ella and Yava-
pal have thus for derived any benefit.
Pima county this year protested
against the assessment and postponed
fixing the tax rate until notified by
the governor that the tax had to be
paid. Pima county paid the tax last
year without causing any trouble.
Cochise county, which will derive
the next benefit, also objected to
paying the full % cents, but the
supervisors made am assessment of
ten cents and tried to pass up the re-
naming Is cent. Governor Sloan
notified the board that the full 25
cents would have to be paid, so the
supervisors reluctantly made the full
assessment. Graham county made a
determined fight last year, but
whether the mandamus will be con-
tested remains to be seen.

Don't Break Down.

Severe strains on the vital organs,

Weeks Report Kansas City Stock Yards.

Kansas City Stock Yards.-While
cattle receipts showed some increase
last week, the total was moderate for
the season, at Ga, 1000 head, including
5000 calves. This was IA, 900 less than
same week last year, and as runs have
some, the market naturally made a
slight advance, 10 to Is cents on
westerns. Receipts last week con-
tanned sprinkling of cattle from all
parts of the range country, and the
same sold at prices so to IS cents
higher than year ago at this time.
A train of the parsons steers from
Rifle sold here Wednesday at 81 IS,
as compared with S4.35 for them
later than this last year. Old Mexico
steers from Baer Bros, Rifle, sold at
S4.75 and 1875, similar to steers from
them the previous week at $3.50 and
$40. Some nice dehorned steers
weighing $40 pounds from Utah sold
to feeder buyers middle of the week
at $500, and other Utahs sold to
killers at $3.50, heavier and coarser.

Sheep and lambs have been coming

fully one half the receipts, at prices
almost on par with prices paid by
killers. Nothing is too good for the
feeder buyer this fall. The run is
more nearly normal, at $4,000 head,

Unknown Poet Hangs a Constitution
Rhyme to Fountain in Douglas.
(By Aloysius Cole.)

Douglas.-In the days of the
Florentine dukes it was customary
for unknown poets to hang their
political ribalds around the necks of
the statutes in the public square,
where they were found in the morn
ing, and answered by others posted
under the noses of other statutes
the next morning. An unknown
ryster of Douglas has modernized
the old custom. A railroad brake
man coming through the city park
by dawn noticed suspended by wire
twisted around a public fountain
little roll of cottonwood bark. When
he inspected this more closely he
found it contained the following
verses, which make a plea for a
sound constitution for Arizona:
Give me constitution, Sres,
OF Sinew, flesh and bone
That 1 may throw away my crutCh
And 60 my way alone;
Nor put a bandage on mine eyes,
Nor hobbies on my feet
To lose me on the shining trail
And trip me in the street.
Put in my hands grip of steel
That on my strength alone
lean to win and keep and hold
My own my very own;
Put in my lips the voice of thought
That every puny whine
That rises to the doubts of men
May never rise to mine.
Put in my heart the throb of hearts
That count the deeds of man
OF Morse and Fulton-with the
dreams
OF Jupiter and Pan;
Nor bind me to the vulture's rock
Where every may prod
The golden treasure of my veins
That fill for man and God.
Put in mine ears the call of hope,
The clink and hammer-blow
OF trip and winding drum above
And sledge and drill below;
The hiss of steam and hum of wheel
in factory and mill,
The low of cattle on the range
And sheep upon the hill.
Give me constitution, Sires,
The birthright of the strong,
And let me throw away the crutch
That 1 have carried;
Nor put hobble on my feet,
Nor goggles on my eyes
Give me the freedom of the earth,.

Political.

1t has always made a difference
with a man whether he be democrat,
republican, socialist or atheist.
Whether he has feelings and regard
for others or whether he is am
bitiously blinded (color blind) to the
wishes and needs of the men in over
! alls. Some men are willing to sacri-
fee principle, noble rights of others
as thing of no moment in order to
comply with an alliance with some
great master. 1 would rather be a
fox to steal fat geese than to betray
those 1 love. would rather~be a
louise on the head of Lazarus at the
rich mans gate and content myself
watching the dogs lick his sores than
to be forced to grant to 'boodlers
and bond grabbers" the privilege to
dispoil the pantries of my poor
desert companions.
Success: "Poor and content is rich
and rich enough" would rather
play cornstalk fiddle while negroes
dance-I would rather be a badger
and lodge in my wild home, yet
see the light of lOye and liberty
ablaze in the eyes of those dear to
me than to obey the commands of
putty headed" politicians over two
thousand miles away. I would
rather spend eternity fiddling on a
stick of cordwood with an ablebodied
! ht1 w n \
would help to place yoke upon the
neck of my dear children and others
1 love. 1 would plant the "mild-eyed
potatoes" and harvest the "useful
hoop-pole" as long as lived before l
would try to ride into office on rot
ten platform or be dictated to by
peaput politicians.
In casting your vote in the ensuing
elections which are of so much i'm.
pOrtance, the first thing to consider
is character. If the candidate does
not hesitate to stand for the right,
his theory may be weak, his logic
lacking, but he will win. If he sacri-
fees his own principle to some class
in order to insure self success he will
not hesitate to sacrifice the liberties
and rights of those he represents,
He may be as logical as five link
puzzle but if he is morally rotten he
deserves a scratch.
The next question is ability. Edu'
cation is a great aid but just CON-
mon old horse sense clothed in over
alls and jumper is more to be desired
than blind theory and greed IN
broadcloth and fine linen. A grain
of common sense in clean character
is to be trusted everywhere.
Another question is party. What
are the principles he represents
Who stands behind him, parties are
powers to be reckoned with? They
represent the thought and feelings
of great number of citizens
When the party can and will say, dc
this, or that or your bread will go IN.
buttered, it is time to seek divorce.
The time will soon come when it may
withhold the bread. When a party
disregards the needs of its people
and filings aside their rights and
wishes, it is not to be trusted with the
peoples interest.
The man of sympathy and graft
tude, sincerity and honesty, capacity
and nobleness, and who represents
the highest interests of the common
people is worthy of your sincere sup
port. Rev. j. w. AKER.

Salaries And School Efficiency.

About eighteen and a half million
pupils were enrolled in the ele-
mentary schools of the United States
during the school year 1908. One
and quarter were enrolled in the
high schools, colleges and universi-
ties. This paper refers particularly
to the elementary teachers and
salaries.
In preparing this paper, it is with
the firm belief that no other one
thing is so primarily responsible for
the great want of efficiency in our
elementary Schools as the low salar-
les of teachers, and that no one
thing will so quickly and effectively
remove that inefficiency as the in
crease OF salaries under wise admin
istration. No institution can retain
high standing in the hands of in
ferior instructors. The best selected
course of study will not accomplish
its end if unqualified teachers at
tempt to use it. 1t requires the best
skill and insight of educational ex-
perts to formulate needed courses of
study, and if the experience and
training of educators are called into
service in formulating a course of
study, certainly it will require train
ing and skill to properly interpret it
and make it effective. A poor course
of study in the hands of an expert
teacher is far better than good one
in the hands of poor teacher. An
army of able teachers Is the great
educational need. Equipments,
courses of study, and text books, i'm
portaht as they are, are subordinate
to the teacher. The event of suffi-
cient number of competent teachers
doubtless felt in every state. That is
competent teachers would gather in
those states paying the highest salar-
les would be a most natural thing to
do. If it be true that high salaries
then expect that state or section
the best salaries to stand in the lead
educationally. Let US examine some
statistics:
Massachusetts, in 1907-S paid to
males an average monthly salary of
S155.65; to female teachers $50 "a, and
the school was maintained 1873 days.
Maine, during the same year, paid an
average of S39 "a to men and 800 6S
to women, and the average length of
the school term was 1876 days. The
average yearly salary of men in
Massachusetts, was Sl465.93; of
women $3.50 81. In Maine it was
SPOOL, and S2O8.62 respectively.
How long would a teacher skilled
enough to secure position in Massa-
chusetts be likely to remain in
Maine? Which state ranks higher
educationally?
In New York the average monthly
salary paid to all teachers was $8S. IS
for 1908 days or IL months. N orth
Carolina at the same time paid S32, 50
for 4 1-2 months. The average year
ly salary in the former was $841 80;
in the latter $1,000. Taking larger
sections of territory let US compare
the north Atlantic~states, which paid
an average monthly wage of S64.31,
with the south Atlantic group paying
1920 or the north central group pay
ing S44. The western section pays
S84 go and by reason of this high
salary is attracting many frst-class
teachers. The tendency is for
teachers to seek those sections where
