Bonds VS.. Direct Assessment.

The town of Winslow hav-
ing recently decided to pay for
it's proposed sewer system by
a long term bond issue, rather
than by direct assessment
against taxable property, the
action of Phoenix on the same
proposition will doubtless be
Of local interest. Commenting
on the subject the Arizona Re
publican in an editorial We'd
nesday says:
"The report made to the
mayor and council by the
board of consulting engineers
to whom the sewer plans had
been referred contained some
advice which scarcely comes
properly under the head of en-
gineering advice. We refer
to the recommendation that
the sewer system be paid for
by assessments upon the prop
erty benefited rather than by
an issue of city bonds. AS
citizens and taxpayers, these
engineers are entitled to the
liberty of.opinion, like all other
citizens, and their recommen-
dation as to the method of
payment should be considered
merely as the advice of inter
ested citizens. The question
as to how the sewer system
should be paid for is a ques-
ton of policy, purely, and not
one of engineering. And on
questions of policy, it seems to
us, the lay citizen is quite as
competent to decide as the
engineer.
Each of the two plans of
payment has its merits, but
the stronger argument appears
to be on the side of the bond
proposition. AS Judge Ben
nett so clearly pointed out at
the recent meeting of the City
club, public Improvements
m"de at great expense, which
are for the benefit of the city
for all time, should be ar
ranged on such lines as Wi /
lav at least part of the burden
On po terity. So generally &C
cepted is this doctrine as sound
that practically all public i'm
provements N tie United
States are paid for by bond
issues. 1t is only when there
are exceptional cond tons ia
voring outright payments IN
cash that a different rule is
preferable. Such exceptional
conditions existed when the
territory found it necessary,
two years ago, to construct a
new penitentiary, a new hos
pital for the insane AMI new
buildings at the university and
at tile two normal schools.
This construction, calling for
an outlay of more than S325,-
900, was paid for in cash be-
cause the tax system had been
SO reformed as to provide tbs
cash without increasing the
taxes; indeed, it was done ur-

ROYALTY LOOKS OUT FOR RAINY DAY.
King George Of Greece Con
sidered One of Wealthiest
of European Potentates

Copenhagen, Den, Dec. 24.-King
George l., the former Danish prince
| who has surprised everyone by sit
ting fast on the wobbly throne Of
| Greece these forty-seven years past,
came nearer to being born on Christ
mas Day than any other of the SOW
ereigns of Europe. December gath,
1845, is generally accepted as the
| date of his birth, but the records of
the royal family of Denmark show
| that the hour of his advent into this
mundane sphere was almost stimuli
taneous with the birth of Christmas
Day in 1S45 and the late King Chris
| tian and Queen Louise were often
heard to refer to him as their Xmas
present.
King George apparently has never
| forgotten the days of his youth,
when his parents, who had not yet
! been called to the Danish throne,
were VIGOROUSLY poor. At sixty-five
years of age the King of Greece
finds himself among the very veal
thiest members of European royalty.
His reputation for thrift is such in
| fact, that it has been said he still
has the first money which came TO
| him after his accession to the throne
of Greece in 1868. However this
may be, it is certain that he has
managed to save tidy sum each
| hnnn
used by the monarch in specializing
| on the Paris Bourse, in which he
has been eminently successful. In
recent years he has invested large
sums in American securities.
1t is an open secret that King
| George, were it not for considera-
ton of the members of his family,
would welcome a political upheaval
in Greece such as recently deprived
| the young king of Portugal Of his
| throne. Many times during the last
quarter of a century the king of the
Hellenes has been reported on the
point of abdicating That he I'M

occur sooner or later is evidenced
by the careful preparations he has
made for the future. Practically
his entire fortune has been invested
outside of Greece, and only within
the post month or so he has con-

ficent estates in Denmark, evidently
to be used for his own residence

WORMY APPLES
Legislator Favors Law Pro
hibiting Sale of Wormy
Fruit.

An effort will be put forth by the
Commercial Club of this city to urge
the Nebraska legislature which con-
venes next month to pass a law pro-
hibiting the sale of wormy apples
in that state
P. B. Packwood, of Entiat, recent
ly returned from Nebraska. where
he sold several carloads of Washing
ton apples. He found the people
everywhere enthusiastic about the
high quality of fruit. They are dis
gusted with the wOrmy apples which
have been the principal importation
from Missouri. Nebraska itself
grows very few apples.
In conversation with w. l.. Kirk,
of Creighton, Nebraska, and member
of the legislature, which is about to
convene, this gentleman told Mr..
Packwood that he would gladly in
troduce and work for law of the
kind mentioned.
In reporting the matter to Secre-
tary COburn, of the Commercial
Club, yesterday afternoon. Mr.
PackwOod suggested that it might
be good plan to ship several boxes
of extra fancy apples to Lincoln
which Mr.. Kirk could distribute
among his colleagues. The Entiat
grower volunteered TO contribute
two boxes of Stayman Winesaps run
ming sixty-four to the box. The sug-
gestion will be discussed at a meet
ing Of the club trustees and proba-
bly, at a general meeting of the club
in the near future.

Voters and Voting.

To the Editor: Regarding the
matter of creating an incentive for
all citizens to vote, | have been
thinking that it will be a good plan
to remunerate each one who votes
1t can be done in this way: Have
the legislature pass law levying a
poll tax of, say, two dollars a year
on all persons over 81 years Of age
and under 20, to be collected by each
county treasurer, and to defray the
expenses of holding state, county
and municipal elections. If the poll
books in the county, city Or school,
districts show that person has
voted for that year. then he should
get credit for the amount of his poll
tax for that year.

PROPOsED sCHEDULE.
TAFT POINTS WITH PRIDE
To the Record of Secretary of State
Knox at Pittsburg.

| Pittsburg, May 3.-President Taft
ended his two days stay in Plttsburg
with a speech at the Grant day dinner
| of the American club. in which he
dealt almost wholly with the foreign
affairs Of the nation. The president
| paid a striking tribute to the secretary
| of state. Mr.. Knox. who was present.
He vigorously defended and justified
the secretary's Nicaraguan policy and
fayed those who invented the phrase,
Dollar diplomacy" The president
said:
ssAs the head of the great state de-
partment having in its charge our for
eign relations, Mr.. Knox has shown the
same capacity for guarding the inter-
ests of his clients. the United States
and her people, in dealing with foreign
nations as he did in protecting their
rights against the unlawful encroach-
ment of domestic com binations of cap
ital.''
The president referred to the sue
cessful elimination of all the recent
negotiations under the maximum and
minimum provisions of the new tariff
law and continued:
1.-The work has been we'll done by
Mr.. Knox and the state department.
We succeeded in securing from all
countries substantially their minimum
tariff or if not their minimum tariff
in terms. such concessions as to be
equivalent to these benefits under the
minimum tariff denied u.s.
Further complimenting Mr.. Knox,
the president said:
81 venture to affirm that never be-
fore in the history of the country have
our relations with South American and
Central American republics been more
friendly than they are today
After praising the reorganization of
the state department which made the
contracts possible, Mr.. Taft continued:
There is nothing inconsistent in the
promotion of peaceful relations and
the promotion of trade returns.
ITO call such diplomacy dollar
and thus apply to it what
is deemed by the authors OF the phrase |
an expression of contempt, is to ig- |
more entirely a most useful office to
be performed by a government in its |
dealing with foreign governments.
Our trade has grown quite beyond |
the limits of this country. With an |
annual foreign trade exceeding $1,000
100000 our state department could |
not Vindicate its existence or justify a |
policy which in any way withheld |
fostering, protecting and stimulating
hand in the development and extension
Of that trade"
The president concluded:
ITO the record of a years accom-
olishments under Secretary Knox in
our foreign affairs I think 1 may prop
srly point with pride, and yet with be- 1
coming modesty, for it is his work and /
lot mine. All 1 can claim is the merit L
