the custom Of all nations to give pen
sions to soldiers. Ours is not an ex-
ception.
The money to pay Government pen
sionS comes from revenue taxes and
import duties. No part of it comes
from direct taxation. There are un-
worthy pensioners, and there may be
those that have obtained pensions
by fraud but this can only be to q
limited extent. The money received
by the pensioners goes directly into
circulation. Referring to this phase
of the subject, the National Tribune
says:
"The pensioners are represented
at nearly every post Office in the Unit
ed States in fairly equal numbers.
They get their money in small
amounts, and proceed at once to ex-
pend it among their immediate neigh
bors, so that everyone gets the full
benefit. The ingenuity Of man has
not heretofore developed any other
means so prompt, SO general and Sc
equable as this. The money goe.
in proper ratio to every little com
munity and neighborhood, and there
does the work OF many times tho

culation Of ready money in the COM
munity, in stimulating the activity OF
trade and preventing the stringency
which comes from congestion of tho
money in great centers. When Com

M|SCREANT AGAIN IS
 SLASH|NG RUBBER TIRES
The Authorities Engaged in Systematic
 Search for Him.

Marshal Peterson yesterday began a rather systematic search for the mis- creant who cut and slashed :he tires of bicycle belonging to Walter Le- Sueur on the day before The tires on each wheel were cut lengthwise for a distance of several inches, showing that the person guilty of the ralicious
 destruction of the property was very
 desirous of making d good job of it.
 The owner of the wheel is only boy or 10 or F years of age and was play ing near the Hilbert residence on West
 First street and had left his wheel out
 in the road when it was stolen The
 boy is hardly old enough to have any one through enmity attempt to com init such a crime and the act is ex-
 plained by only supposing that it was done out of desire pure and simple to destroy property. There is little doubt but what if the guilty party is apprehended that good stiff sentence will be handed to him.
 This is the second time that the tire slashing business has been reported to the police. However. on the previ- ous occasion. several specific instances were brought to the attention of the officers. but in each case the tires had simply been ruined by thrusting knife blade or some other sharp instrument directly into tfre tire. while in the last instance the tires were cut into strings.

NEXT YEARS BALL TEAM
 MATTER OF SPECULATION

Professor Johnson. in charge of the athletic department of the Mesa union high school. has already begun the work of getting a baseball team for next year that will keep the rapid pace set by the lads during the past year. There is no question but that it will be problem to get together another team which will be able to go against all corners with the success so lately achieved, and no one better than Pro- lessor Johnson realizes this Morris gradutes this season and Williams will be out of the game next year as far as the union high school team is con cerned. Not only will the battery, which did such magnificent york the past season. be out of the race. but a number of the best players in both the in and out field may not he in school again next season.
 Professor Johnson is particularly an Xious to secure q catcher. one who will take the place of Morris, if such a thing is r 's sible in q school team. He has about decided that he has q pitcher who will develop into something above the ordinary and he expects to com mence early on a systematic try-out and will put the team through the paces early next season so that they may be in shape for good playing from the start.

MAY DAY OBSERVED
 BY MESA RESIDENTS
The Weather Just Right for It's
 Celebration.

For a few reasons May day as it was observed in Mesa came very near equaling the Easter festivities of sev- eral weeks previous. Owing to the rather cool spring and the earliness of Easter sunday. it might be apologetic- ally said that the proverbiai bonnet and the accompanying finery did not have a fair chance. Yesterday, how ever the weather was perfect. ideal spring. warm enough for the coolest finery and cool enough for the wear ing of finery in its entirety without the appearance of spreading it on
 The day was ushered in bv q grand ball at the Vance auditorium for which special occasion had been made to make it q May day dance in every de- tail. The little folks enjoyed dance at the opera house Saturday afternoon. which is a regular May day observance, but was held on Saturday this year on account of May day falling on sunday The churches observed the occasion in fitting manner and the weather man was thoughtful in giving the best he had in the stock for the day.

TEMPE
SIDEWALK RIDING
 MUST BE STOPPED
An Edict That Has Gone Forth From
 the MarshaI's Office.

Riding on sidewalks must come to an abrupt stop. That is the edict that has gone forth from the mar shars office. and unless the practice is stopped immediately someone is going to get into trouble. Riding on sidewalks has long been q violation of the city ordinances, but the mar shal has been inclined to overlook slight infringements of the law in the outside districts. The trouble is. the public has rather imposed on the marshal's good nature and where he gave an inch the public was inclined to want a foot. Since the construc- ton of so many cement walks in Tempe. the habit has rather grown. A smooth cement walk offers an aw- ful temptation to the bicycle rider. if perchance the street is a little dusty or d little muddy from sprinkling. So long as this was confined tn some of the walks off Main street. little attention was paid to it. but when the practice began to be continued on down to Mill avenue, the marshal figured that it would not be long until the street would be a safer place for the pedestrian than the sidewalk He has consequently issued the or der that all sidewalk riding must cease from this date on. The public is advised to accept this as timely hint. and act accordingly. for while he would dislike to cause any arr rests on charge of that nature. NIT. Brown says that he will make them if he finds it necessary.

ONE TOWNSHIP COMPLETED
The Work Is In the Nature of a Preliminary Survey for the Purpose of Gath ering Data to Be Used By the Service In Figuring On Pumping Plants.

The engineering corps that the rec larIation service now has at work on tlis side of the river ascertaining tne underground water level is making good progress. and during the past week has nearly completed one town ship
 The party. consisting of four men.
 Is in charge of F. l.. Humphrey and the work at present is ir the nature Of preliminary survey Of the situa- ton. The idea is to ascertain as rearly as possible the trerd of the underground water supply and its level. The work the past week has been confined to the district imme- diately surrounding the town, but this week it will be continued on farther south into the Kyrene district. The party is engaged in making up a map. which, when completed. will indicate at glance the level of the sub surface water at the date of the map over the entire district covered by the party. The purpose Of the sur vey is of course to gather data to be used in the drainage project the service proposes to install south of Tempe. if ever the people of this district and the government can come to terms. The government is not waiting for the completion of any contract before it begins its work, for much of the data that is being gath cred now will be useful in making an estimate on the cost of the system. A more detailed survey of the situa- tion will no doubt be necessary before the government installs any pumping systems. but the present survey is sufficiently accurate for present needs.
 Thus far in it's work the party has found wells in sufficient numbers to answer all requirements in getting the water level On one or two occasions the wells were too far apart and they had to be dug. but in that locality the digging of q well with d post hole digger was q matter of but a few moments work. The work is progressing nicely, Mir Humphrey stated yesterday. and it will be but q short time now until the reclama- tion. service will have some accurate data upon which to work and base it's calculations with respect to the drainage system.

Forty Four Splendid Mum bers on the Edison
 May Program

i Whats the use of going to theater i when you can bring the theater into
 your homeB That's the question that
 the May list of Edison Monograph | Records prompts. And it's a natural 1 one. too. Where. for instance could you go to hear, all at one time. such
 artists as Carmen Melis. Marguerita 1 Sylva, Blanche Arral. Riccardo Martin and Gustave Huberdeau-all operatic stars of the first magnitude? Or such splendid musical talent as Sousa's Band. Victor Herbert's Orchestra. H. Benne Henton and the Vienna Instru- mental Quartette? Or such delineat-
 ors of popular hits" as Sophie Tucker. ] Manuel Romain. Ada Jones. Billy Mur- ray. Collins & Harlan and Digby Bell? It's simply amazing the wealth of se- lections and standard of talent that
 the Edison lists present. Everybody rich ar poor. grave or gay. can find
 something in the forty-four two and four minutes Records to please his
 taste. Operatic numbers. popular sen
 timental hits" the latest rag melo-
 dies. sacred selections, all in solos duets and quartettes vaudeville sketches and instrumental gems of various kinds are there in splendid conception and appeal to the most discriminating.
 The May list of Edison Records can without exaggeration be classed among the most enviable ever added to the ca dialogue. To the man of family who is not aware of the wonderful develop
 ment and entertaining possibilities of the Edison Monograph the collection will offer a surprise quite as pleasing as it will be complete.

.RfSENTS INITIATION
 THAT HE WAS LOST
Says He Was on the Road to Camp But Overcome By the Heat and
 Lack of Water.

George w. Barnard Was caller at the Tempe office Of The Republican the other day and spent some little porter in regard to his recent trip to the Colorado river in company with Messrs. Thompson and De Wore of this place. An article appeared in ] The Republican few days after this trip and in it was related an unfor- tunate experience Mir. Barnard had while there. While the article, ac- cOrding to Mir Barnard, was right in the main, there were one or two lit- tie points that he desired corrected. The chief one was the intimation that he became lost on the desert
 According to MT. Barnard. il was fOrty-seven years ago that he passed through that country. It is only nat ural that in the space of half cen tury there should be many and va ried changes in the landscape Of a country, and consequently it is not surprising that the place did not at first seem familiar to him. What threw him off the track more than anything else was the fact that the Tulle springs had some years ago been entirely washed away by flood. the spring later bursting forth in an- other place some three miles ar more distant As soon as he became aware Of this action of the spring. he felt more at home and was fast locating himself.
 He admits that in leaving the par ty as he did without a canteen of water he made mistake. but he contends that he was on the road to the spring when found and was in no sense lost: that had his strength not have given out for lack of water. he would have eventually reached the camp.

TAXING ADVANTAGE.

In the construction of the new warehouse near the old P. X F. de- pot site. the Arizona Honey exchange is taking advantage of the natural conditions that are found there. ln- stead of building an expensive foun- dation to bring the floor of the ware house upon d level with the car doors, the building is being construct ed on the floor of the butte at eX- actly the required height. and the railroad company will run a spur from the main line to the door of the warehouse. This will give the build ing sound foundation and will elimi- nate some of the expense of it's con- struction. The work is now well un- der way and the building will prob ably be completed in time for use this present season.
