 In condemning it as inher- ently vicious because 1t is the handiwork of a democratic leg islature, and contending that 1t is aimed at a class of people vho, though densely ignorant and illiterate, he extols (for partisan purpose) as equally worthy of the right of suffrage, the governor expresses senti- ments that will find no indorse- ment among the large body of people in this territory who have proper regard for the purity and sacredness of suf- frage.
 w e believe, furthermore, that in throwing down the bars and allowing the ignorant and purchasable classes to become the prey of unprincipled poli- +icians the Republican leaders in this territory will forfeit the respect of the people at large md in consequence suffer a we'll merited rebuke for adopt ing methods so rankly parti- san.
 Our executive might now lend his efforts in reconciling congressional solicitude for the adoption of a proper constitu- tion, with their present action in putting the ballot in the hands of ignorance.

New Rules For
 Santa Fe Trainmen.

The examination of train and engine men on the Santa Fe book of rules was started last week on the Arizona divison, with Earl E. McCarty chief inspector of transportation, as the chairman of the examining board. On the completion of the examination and instruction, the rules will be placed in effect.
 Mir. McCarty has been placed in charge of examining and in- structlng the men on the new rules and has concluded the exam ination of the men on the Albu- querque divison, where the revis- ed rule book will become effective at once.
 1t will be two months before Mir. McCarty will reach the Los Angeles division for the com pletion of the task of examining hundreds of men working members of train crews on the Coast Lines.
 The new rule books were dis tr1buted number of weeks ago and the men instructed to make themselves perfectly familiar with the revisIons in order to be able to fill out new books and appear for oral examination be- fore the examining board.
 At the time that the men were employed they were called upon to fill out eXamintion books on the book of rules and on promo. tion from brakeman to conduc- tor or fireman to engineer, they again made out books for those. respective branches of service and passed before h board, which consists ofvarious officials. They must DOW undergo another examination.-Albuq. Journal.

Harvey House
 Employees Injured.

Winslow, Ariz., March 4, 10. Last Sunday afternoon while on a pleasure drive four miles east of the city near the pumping station four employees of the Harvey house met with an acci- dent that disabled three of the number and demolised the rig in which they were riding The cause of the accident is said tobe due to the breaking of a neck yoke which permitted the pole to fall to the ground resulting in horses making q mad dash d aw- ing the buggy behind them until it Wa splinters T h e party thrown from the rig consisted of A ]. Muir, cashier of the Harvey lunch room, Sam Robinson, a plumber, May Chapman, head waitress in h dining. room, and Helen Whipperfeurth, also a waitress at the Harvey House.
 Miss Whipperfeurthis the most seriouly injured, the bone in one of her legs being badly fractured which will confne her to bed for some weeks.
 MT. Muir's and Miss Chapman's injuries consisted of wrenched backs. They have both recover ed sufficiently to resume their duties.
 Sam Robinson, the only one not injured owes his escape to his good fortune in finding a soft spot on which to fall.
 The accident occurred within ten feet of a precipituos ravine and the party h a d a narrow escape from a peril that might have resulted in far more serious consequences.
 A second party composed of Michael Hogan, storekeeper at the Harvey House, his assistant and two girls also employed at the Harvey house was following behind the first party but did not witness the accident. They stopped the runaway which was homeward bound and hurried to the scene where the injured were lying on the ground. Load ing them into the rig they hast ened to the city where they were attended by Dr. Sprankle.

NUCENT'S BAIL
 REDUCED TO $2,5OO
Judge Doe in Chamber Ses- sion Grants Application
 of Defendant.

Winslow, Ariz., M lrch f, 10. In chamber session of the ter ritorial district court held at Prescott Wednesday, Henry F. Ashurst, as counsel for Charles Nugent, made applica ton for the reduction of the latter's bail from $5, ,OOO to $2 800.
 The crime with which Nugent is charged and for which he has been confined in the county jail at Holbrook for the past three months while awaiting trial, was committed on the night of De- cember II at the Windsor bar, when with a heavy piece of iron pipe he inflicted upon John Leis- ner, injuries which nearly caused the latter's death.
 On December 29 his hearing oc- cured before Justice Waite, who held him over for the next term of the criminal court in bonds of $5,OOO. Since that time the friends of Nugent have been en- deavoring to have the bond re- duced to a sum that would make possible hIs release so that he might resume his occupation with the Santa Fc as foreman of pile driving crew.
 Judge Doe, after hearing the arguments of Henry Ashurst for the defense and District Attorney w. P. Geary for the territory said he was impressed with the seriousness of the crime, but that in view of the recovery of the vic tim and the fact that a long time will elapse before the next term of the criminal court, he felt con- strained to grant the defendants request and accordingly bail was reduced to $2,5OO.
 Nugent is now hopeful of being able to secure the amount neces- sary to gain his freedom.

Phoenix to Vote on Sewer System.

PhOenlX-Ihec city council has approved and accepted the plans of Olmsted & Gellellen for a deep sewer and called an election on the proposition of voting $4OO,- 900 bonds for the construction of the sewer, the election to be held April '. Commenting edi toriallv on the project the Ari- zona Republican says:
 From the organization of the city government no city council of Phoenix ever before took step of so much importance as was done last night when the plans for a sewer were definitely decid- ed upon and a bond election for T sewer was ordered.
 It may be added that no city council was ever before so con fronted with the need of action. The rapid growth of Phoenix within the last two years-the
 xtension of the thicklv settled districts and the greater conges tion within the older districts already thickly settled Ii q d brought about a n 1ntolerable condition.
 The necessity for an adequate sewer system is the one proposi- ton on which all Phoeneians agree; that is, all of them agree who have a care for the future of Phoenix, for it's healthfulness and the greater value of it's real estate.
 Without other facilities than those with which we have born SO long there could be no advan. cement of values. People who have come from abroad-from lc- calities where sewer systems are regarded as essential as water systems, found themselves amid conditions which excited their disgust and also their fear.
 They could not see how, amid such conditions, epidemics were to be averted and many of them SO little believed that they could be averted, that they passed on to other towns where attention is given to sanitation.
 Within a year we believe that Phoenix will not have the unen- viable distinction of being the only town in the United States of 5000 inhabitants which has no sewer facilities worth speak ing of.
 The proposition to vote $4OO, 900 of bonds for the installation of a sewer system will hardly encounter any opposition. This is an investment which will ap- peal to all, to the cupidity, we may say, of those who desire higher real estate values and the patriotic pride of those who care only for the fair fame of Phnen1x and for the health and welfare of it's inhabitants.
 We believe that a transconti- mental railroad will be the great st stimulus to our growth t But hardly more of stimulant than a new sewer system. With out a sewer system Phoenix is already big enough-yes, too big.

The Governor Fails to Rise
 Above Partisanship.

plihed than in the present at ti.ude of Governor Sloan on the latest statehood measure.
 While the position taken by OFT executive as wellas by the leading republicans of Arizona is such as will bring humilia- ton to the people of this terri tory, the situation is not with out its amusing aspect.
 Throughout the pre- ent campaignfor statehood a series of blunders and miscarriages of information has occas:oned much embarrassment to the republicans as well as their or gans throughout the territory.
 We can well imagine how, with more delicate sensibilities, the republican editors would be on the verge of nervous collapse by the mental contor- tions they have been put through in trying to defend and reconcile the many posi- tions their party's maneuvers have forced them to occupy without previous notice.
 When 1t was rumored that the Hamilton bill contained no educational provision Dele gate Andrews hastened to in form us that he was "glad to say that the Hamilton bill did not interfere with the quali6- cations of electors as fixed by the Arizona statutes"
 When the provisions of the Dillingham; bill became known 1t was found that not only the educationalprovision had been eliminated, but the residence qualification for voting was re- duced from one year to six months.
 This very radical departure from the original bill has kept the republican organs busy in a futile attempt to defend their latest party measure from the censure and ridicule that has been heaped upon 1t.
 Poor, old, cringing and hide bound organs, they must be always prepared to swallow every dose, no matter how nauseating, that their party leaders may see fit to prescribe. No provision incorporated in a statehood measure could be too humiliating to command their support and defense.
 Even Governor Sloan, who because of long incumbency of a judicial position was cred ited with some freedom from the narrowest form of partisan ship, attempts by long-winded and spacious arguments to convince a skeptical public that the annulment of an edu- cational provision Il d Il abridgement of the residence qualification from the senate statshOod measure are not de tigned as measures to improve his party's advantage.
 
 The sentiments he expresses are not those we would expect to emanate from one who des- ignates himself as broad minded and patriotic citizen

FINANCIAL PANICS-THEIR
CAUSES AND FREQUENCY.

Roger w. Babson, New York
economist, predicts another financial
panic for the United States in 1912
Ever since record has been kept 1t
has been noted by economic students
that panics occur approximately ey-
cry twenty years. This regularity OF
occurrence is accounted for by the
fact that the average time of men
engaged in business is about twenty
years, thus bringing into the business
world entirely new men in that
length of time. The undoubted foun-
dation cause of financial panies is
over-speculation and oyer-expansion
of credits, and the crop of new men
coming into the control of business
will not profit by the experiences OF
their predecessors, but run the same
course with the same result
AS to the prediction of the panic
for 1912. let the history of panics in
this country be considered The first
of record was 1916, the next 1887.
next 1857, then 1873 (hurried up
by the wild speculation under green
back inflation), and the last 1893 :
therefore, following the precedents,
the next will be due in 1913, year
later than the New Workers. predic-
tion. Between the panics of the past
there have occurred what economists
have designated ''middecade reac-
tionary panics." or rather financial
fiurries in which speculation was
checked and business slackened for a
time; but these have always been OF
short duration and less severity than
the general panics in which every
thing was brought to halt and gen
eral business stagnation followed.
If we were going to make a pre-
diction as to the time of coming of
the next panic. we would be inclined
to postpone it rather than to hurry 1t

though sold at loss. The business
man in debt not only has to sell at
a loss. but what he receives is not
his, but must go to pay for the goods
bought at higher prices than he was
able to get for them when he sold
If all men would prepare for
panic. there would never be any: but
as they will not they will continue
to recur about every so often, and
everybody will suffer in proportion
to his preparedness, or lack of it, for
the occurrence.
1t is wise man who will profit by
the experience OF others; but. so long
as financial panics occur. there is
ample proof that the wise men are

seems to be established by past rec
ords. Our reason for this lies in the
fact that the last mid-decade furry
did not occur on schedule time. com
ing in 1907 instead of 1908. This
we account for from the fact that
there is nothing extraordinary in our
circulating medium to engender spec
ulation except the increased produc-
tion of gold. which is without doubt
the most important factor at the
present time in accounting for the
general advance in prices. Advan-
cling prices never fail to bring about
a spirit of speculation, and the great
er the advance the greater the spec
ulation, which never ceases till
brought up suddenly by a panic. and
the greater the spirit of speculation
the nearer Is the approach to the
panic. The panic is simply a reac-
tion, and getting back to normal con-
ditions: IL is SOLDERING up after q
financial debauch.
That there is a panic ahead there is
not the least reason to doubt; but
just when it will strike no one can
say within year or so. but it is sure
to come. The first and direct and
greatest sufferers from a panic are
those who are in debt-those who
have invested for speculative pur-
poses only, mostly on credit, buying
property at high prices. making
small payments and calculating that
the advance will be such as to enable
them to get out with a good profit.
But. when the crash comes and the
bottom drops out of prices. the prop
erty will not sell for enough to return
the amount paid down when it was
bargained for. And right then an
other feature enters the arena of the
business world to make matters
worse. and that is the fact that there
is a wild rush by everybody to sell
to save themselves. and the result is
that sales cannot be made at any
price, and the ruin is complete.
In all financial panics those who
suffer the least. and who cannot be
ruined entirely, are those out of debt
and who own. unincumbered, the
property standing in their names.
These may lose money. but the prop
erty cannot be taken from them,
leaving them stranded like the man
in debt Business men out of debt
will suffer less than those in debt for
the reason that what they are able
to sell the proceeds are theirs, even
