THE FINE ART OF
 RATE MAKING

Ali the world is familiar with the claim of railroad men that rate- making is task of such complexity that no layman can ever hope to understand it. It is solely for that reason railroad experts, magnates and attorneys object to all and every attempt at rate investigation by outsiders. Therefore, more than ordinary interest attaches to those portions of the debate in congress on the railroad bill, which disclose some of the inner mysteries of rate making: These are at once enter taining and instructive. They show why there is milk in a cocoanut, even if they do not account for the hair on the outside.
 A few instances culled from the voluminous columns of the Con- gressional Record will suffice to show the nature of the art. A man in California wished to ship hay to San Diego. The local agent could not give a rate, but telegraphed to headquarters. The answer came in the question: "What is the price of hay in San Diego?" When the information was given, the rate was fixed. In Dakota a stock raiser wished to ship a number of horses. "What are you getting for them?" asked the agent. "That is none of your business," said the shipper. "Then you cannot have the cars." said the agent. The shipper told the price. Then the agent said: "Your profit is so much; our rate will be so much" It was just half the expected profit. In another case man arranged to send wool to San Francisco by vessel. The rail- road heard of it and said to the owner of the vessel: "If you take that wool at the rate you have con- tracted for, we will not deliver your company another pound of freight at any time." The company can- celed the contract.
 Upon such showings we can un- derstand the objections of railroad managers to all outside inquiries into rate making. Indeed. it ap- pears that, while any ordinary imp of Satan can make rates, the devil himself cannot understand them. Fortunately, we are nearing the end of these extortions and outra- ges. Even the republican regulars refuse to stand pat for them.- Arizona Democrat.

KERN WILL BE EASY
 FOR BEVERIDGE

The democrats of Indiana have endorsed l. w. Kern for the United States senate. But Kern is a loser. Undoubtedly a man of pronounced ability, he has ever been unfortun- ate when called before the people for position of responsibility and trust. Beveridge will be his op- ponent in the race. This man is full of tricks and Responsibilities. He ca me to Arizona to spy out the land. He entered the territory at Gallup, New Mexico, followed along the line of the Atlantic and Pacific. to Ash Fork, then cut through the country by way of Prescott and
 Phoenix, and left it at Yuma. on the Colorado. Outside the Salt River valley he did not see an acre of titled or productive ground and formed his conclusions on what he saw from a palace car window. Be fore he had been in Arizona he was known as an avowed enemy of statehood, and his race through the non-productive lands of Arizona seemed to further convince him in his erroneous way of thinking When the Hamilton statehood bill reached the senate he professed to have had an awakening, he visited the president and talked statehood for the two territories in his sleep
 Rut the Hamilton bill was not quite to his way of thinking. It had been thoroughly discussed and, section by section. paragraph by paragraph analysed, passed or amended in the house committee on territories and when submitted to congress was ap- proved and passed without a dis senting voice. It was fair, square, equita ble bill in which the wants of a growing territory were provided for, and at the same time the inter- ests of the national government were sharply and carefully safe- guarded. Although fully conver. sant with said bill he allowed it to go to the full measure of it's making without change or suggestion, but no sooner had it reached the senate than he announced his objection to it and further stated that he would draw a new bill, which, after months of weary waiting he unfortunately did. Such bill. It was humilat- ing and exasperating in the exteme. On every page it reflected the nar- row mind and despicable meanness of the man. He knew that it would not pass the house, and that it would meet determined opposition in the senate. In the latter body are fair minded men and they were not slow in voicing their objections to the iniquities of the bill. That it will, with some notifications and amendments. pass both houses and become law is yet a question of grave doubt, but there is no ques- tion about the duplicity and en, mity of it's author, and that he should be beaten by Kern is some. thing that either does. or should lie close to the heart of every Ariz- onan.-Bisbee Review.

MRS, ZIMMERMAN
DESIRES DIVORCE
Wife of the Mayor Today
Filed Action, Charging
She Was Abandoned.

DR.. w. w. Zimmerman, serving his
third term as mayor OF Richmond,
was made defendant in a divorce ac-
ton filed by Mrs. Cyrene Zimmerman
in the circuit court Wednesday after
noon. Abandonment is the allegation
of the complainant. Twice the mayor
OF Richmond was defeated in an at
tempt to sever his marital relations,
once in 1901 when Judge Fox of the
circuit court refused his petition and
again in 1902 when the judge of the
Henry county circuit court TO which
the case was appealed on change OF
venue. denied the petition.
The complaint is not of a sensation
al nature and was not a surprise to
the friends of the city's chief execu-
tive No alimony is asked by Mrs.
Zimmerman directly. although. it is
stated in the complaint. she wishes
such other relief as she may be EMIT
led to under the facts and circum-
stances of the case.
Tried in January.
Likely the case will be tried early
in January unless something unfore-
seen arises The mayor is summoned
to court on December 81. but as this
is during the holidays and Judge Fox
expects to be out of the city, it is i'm
probable a trial will be held at this
this time Henry u. Johnson is at
torney for the petitioner Mayor
Zimmerman has not been served with
summons in the case and it is not
known who will represent him, but
likely either city attorney A. NJ. Gard
ner or attorney w. A. Bond.
In light OF the fact that Mayor Zim-
norman has attempted before on two
occasions to get a divorce it is not
thought he will contest the case. II
Is averred in the complaint that they
were married in Richmond September
"a, 1873, and separated on January 20,
1897. The separation, the wife ayers,
is due to abandonment, characterized
in the complaint as purposely and
wrongfully. The complainant alleges
that Mayor Zimmerman has refused to
return and cohabit.
DR.. Zimmerman has resided at Sew
enth and North A street for several
years Mrs Zimmerman has been liv-
ing with her daughter and son-in-law
at 227 North Third street for a num-
Der of years. She has no occupation
she AYERS in the complaint, other than
assisting in the housework.

Columbus, O., March 3.-Chairman
Williams of the food probe committee
issued his FIRST statement as to the
work accomplished. Among other
things Mr.. Williams says: "The com

rect and indirect, disputed and admit
ted, and has practically completed the
academic part of its investigation. 1t
is now devoting all of its energies to
the investigation of the manipulation
Of prices. This committee hopes to
convince, or rather to enlighten, the
people that the grievances of tie con-
sumer are due largely to the fixing of
prices, and restrictions upon the free
trade in food as well as the elimina-
ton Of competition. This state of af.
fairs is most notable in the large
cities. The farmer is not to blame
for the present conditions, and the
small retailer is largely a victim of
the system of which he forms a part"
