NEW YORK. Sept. 16.-Stoclis boun- ded upward under the impulse of unus- ually keen buying.

FINED FOR HIS INDUSTRY
A Kansas Editors Story of the Curious
 Taxation System.

There are some queer things about our system of taxation. Here is an ex- ample: once upon a time the editor of this paper became possessed of the laudable ambition to own a home. Having managed to save up few dol lars, he purchased upon the payments plan some property which had been taken in on mortgage by an Eastern investment company.
 The house was in such bad repair that it was not fit for occupancy. The cellar was full of stagnant water, weeds grew rankly about the house, the pOrches were routed and sagging, the house unpainted. The lot was q couple of feet above the sidewalk and the earth had washed and caved, mak- ing it impossible The place was an eyesore and a menace to health: We wanted a home and saw its possibili- ties.
 It was located in a good neighbOr- hood, and from it We had a beautiful view over a pretty valley. Being rath- CT handy with tools, We went to work before and after office hours. We re- paired the porches, painted the house. sodded and terraced the yard and drained the cellar and put in eurbing and parking. We worked early and late. until 1t last we had, as many people told us, one of the prettiest homes in the town-and then the as- sessor came around and doubled our taxes.
 We were fined because we had work ed hard and converted disorder into order, ugliness into beauty, and had wiped out plague spot in the neigh borhood. It is also true that the own CT of a few vacant lots adjoining our place immediately advanced them in price but neglected to cut the tall weeds which grew on them. It may be added that his taxes were not in creased, notwithstanding the fact that he held his lots at a higher price.
 We have told this story because the statement itself ought to cause some one to do some hard thinking. There surely is something radically wrong with a system of taxation in which a person is fined for merely being indus the Delphos (Kas) Re publican.

 A parson who was standing near by promptly rushed to the unfortunate mans aid. and thinking he was the worse for liquor, remarked:

Polly of the Circuss''

Miss Ida SJ. Leon and her entire family Of acrobaLs, bareback riders and jugglers will be seen in Frederick Thompson's production of Folly of the Circus" at the Armory on Monday evening Oct. 30.
 This highly interesting and capti- vating romance of the little circus rider and the minister forms one of the most pleasant and entertaining plays of the season. The story of the play is rather novel and it has that which holds the heart strings and invites even the jaded taste to a simple revel in romance. It is a piece that one can see dozen times and go away with laughter and tears. It's story IS well told and beautifully framed. The scenic prod nction is most elaborate and the circus scenes true to life, with aero bats, clowns, tumblers, bare back riders and ringmasters, also horses, dogs and ponies. Polly" will win her way into the hearts of her audience with her sweet and tender manner. The many characters of the play are all in cap- able hands. Watch he parade.

FIRST GOVERNOR IN CLIFTON
ceives Cordial Reception in Greenlee

Col. Thos. F. Weedin, of Florence, democratic candidate for the nomina- tion for Governor, a resident of Ari- zona for the past thirty years, was a welcome visitor to Greenlee county this week. Cols W9edin made two speeches in Greenlee county, speaking d Morenci on Thursday evening and at the Airdome in Clifton on Friday night. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this hardy old Arizona Pioneer was all over the district, visiting the men employed in the smelters and in the mines, met many old friends and by his plain and straight forward manner in dealing with all questions of public interest at this time, won for himself the admiration and confidence Of those who heard him speak and those he met personally for the first time.
 There are no frills or buncombe about Tom Weedin. A residence of thirty years in Arizona during which time he has been the editor of his paper, The Florence Blade-Tribune, interspersed with prospecting and min ing and serving the people of his county in the legislature on several occa- sious, has left d record for honesty, pro- gress and fidelity-to public trust, which has endeared him, not only to the people Of his own county, but to the entire people of Arizona
 In the legislature Weedin never passed his vote to see what the majori- tv would do. He was always found iu the advance guard Of those legislators advocating those laws which had Tor their purpose the betterment of the condition of the people of Arizona in general. The recent Acts of the Legis- lature intended for the better protec- tion of the lives and shorter hours of labor for men employed in the mines of Arizona has been hts especial busi- ness. The eight hour law; the mine inspector bill and the eight foot pros pecting hole are few of the laws he has been Instrumental in passing and helping toward passage.
 Tom Weedin is one of the ''old boys" less, 't seif made man, man who can- not b., <w"rved from his duty as he sees iC uy any Influence.
 Tn his speeches delivered in Mo- renci and Clifton Col Weedin was given close attention. He is an ardent supporter of the Initiative Referendum and Recall provisions of the Arizona

NOW TO THE SENATE
tN ITS HANDS IS FATE OF THE
 wool SCHEDULE
Democrats Have Done Their Part In Fulfilling ceuntry's Wishes and Now Republican Senatorial
 Majority Must Act.

By vote of 221 to 100 the house of representatives passed the bill re- Yising the wool schedule. Every Dem- ocratic member but one-Francts of Ohio-voted for 1t. as did 24 Repubn- cans. Of these latter at least two were standpatters. No such majority as this was looked for. It was doubted whether the bill could command united Democratic support Yet only one man on the Democratic side voted in the negative. So we have another proof of the effectiveness and intelli- gence of the new Democratic leader ship.
 More than that, the bill was felt to be so fair-though 1t was severely criticized by some who voted for it. that 1t commanded 24 Republican votes. And in the affirmative vote the standpatters themselves were rep resented. The action of the house will greatly strengthen the wool bill in the senate. It Is believed that there is chance for it's passage. Every effort will be made to prevent the finance committee from smother ing 1t, and to bring 1t to 8 vote within a reasonable time.
 As to the bill itself 1t is not neces- sary to say much. It imposes an ad valorem duty of 20 per cent. on raw wool in place of the present duty of about A per cent. The duty on manu- factured products is more than cut in two, the reduction being from an aver age of go per cent to an average of about 42 per cent. Ad valorem duties have been generally substituted for specific duties, and the lowest taxes are imposed on the cheapest goods instead of, as now, on the most costly. The new schedule Is, therefore, a great improvement over that now in force.
 It ought to make strong appeal to the senate insurgents, and to the president. The insurgents bitterly op- posed the wool schedule of the Payne Aldrich law, and the president has denounced 1t as "indefensible." Here is a chance to get something better. It may not be all that is desired, but nevertheless it Is great improve ment on the present schedule. It ought not to be difficult for the Repub- ncans who really favor lower duties to vote flor it. Twenty-four of them did vote for it. So the case is sub mitted to the senate. It is to be hoped that that body will act prompt ly and favorably on the bill to the end that some of the burdens now resting on the people may be hghtened.-in- disnapolis News-
