HOW HENRY CLEWSI
VIEWS THE MARKET
Trust Decisions, If Against
Corporations, May Not
Hurt Much.

If the trust decisions under the Sher-
man law should prove unfavorable the
market may not show any serious re-
action, for in each case the parties
concerned ere undoubtedly prepared to
adjust themselves as far as possible to
the worst. In any event ii is recog-
nized that the production, distribution
and consumption of oil and tobacco will
go on practically as before; changes in
organization not being likely to cause
any cessation of demand or any serious
diminution of profits.
There Is moreover some belief that
the railroads will secure moderate con-
cessions in certain instances No doubt
the railroads are making their case as
strong as possible; for they have en-
tered period of business reaction, fac
ing heavy increases in operating ex-
penses, and imperative demands for in
creased facilities. The rate question is
a complicated one. because in some
sections of the country rates are un-
questionably exOrbitantly high, while in
others they are reasonably low and
some roads are much better able to
keep up under existing conditions than
others. The load comes heaviest upon
such companies as are still laborinS
under the excessive fixed charges i'm
posed by the INSCRIPTIONS financing of
previous generations. Dealing Justice to
the railroads is a problem that calls
for the highest order of talent; and il
should not be forgotten that if S1OO,-
100000 or more are to be taken from
shippers to compensate railroads 1t is
still a proper question for the Govern
ment to ask, What will be the effect
of such an increase upon shippers and
consumers, who finally pay the bills?
The cotton industry is also suffering.
not so much from artificial restriction
as from the high prices necessitated b.
shortage in the cotton crop. Manufac-
turers are in an exceedingly awkward
position for the reason that consumers
will not pay present prices, and anv
reduction would simply wipe out all
mill owners profit in view Of the pres
ent price of cotton. In consequence
seriously discussing further ShutdOwns
The leather industry, too, is in critical
state, and is suffering from overproduc-
tion of hides. An extensive shutdown
movement is now being inaugurated- In
copper the situation fails to improve
Overproduction here also being a serious
menace. What the outcome-of such
conditions in our industrial world will
be ii is premature to forecast. Fortu-
nately the business situation as a whole
Is sound. The OvereXpSnsiQp in credit
is being corrected, and thefe Is good
reason to believe that, as soon as our
captains of industry are ready to- meet
the situation by making price conces-
sions, demand will revive and business
sVfer and more satisfactory basis. II
these advices II has been repeatedly in
sisted that readjustment was as imEera-
tive in the commodity markets as IN the
security markets. 1t would appear that
We are now passing through this stage.

Relaxing Money Rates.
AS already indicated. the banking
troubles of the week had no influence
whatever upon the money market The
turn of the year finds money working
easier in practically all markets of the
world. with the notable exception of
London, where discounts are still main
tained, owing to the insistent demand
for gold made on that market Local
banks have gained largely from the in
terror and from the Government, and,
during the week. rates for call money

showed increased relaxation. This, of
course, leads to the confident belief, in
financial circles, of a sustained bond
market, and furnishes an important
argument in favor of an Improvement

 REAL ARTISTIC SOUL

There are more tints and shades in this Arizona land than seems possible Watch mountain bluff in the morn ing and not the greenish and bi,,ish tints, as they simmer in the early sun; watch the same spot at noon. and the scintillations are as from a rainbow: and in the evening. as the sun is sinking, the hues will take on all the tints of brown. intermingled with the amethyst in profusion. Art ists there have been many to try and produce these effects, and while some have so far succeeded as to enthrall us aT none has done so well as to even satisfy himself The desert sands are grey and seemingly endless in ex- tent, the sun beats down with the fIerccness of a hot oven, and yet as our horses jog along through the eye all the other and better senses will be constantly delighted with the vari- gated coloring everywhere. The cac- tus growths. while named similarly. are extremely different, and the twists of the little branches, the thumb like protuberances on many more. the whiskerlike growth of others, the thousand-an-one peculiarities of this always interesting, if peculiar growth will keep ones interest constantly ab- sorbed. It is noticeable that after many days of travel over these vast .nesses of the southwest there will be so much that is intense and interest ing that one will not care for much conversation at times, but will simply sit the saddle silently and drink it in And with it comes the very breath of life. Till one has made a long horse back trip over the plains and sands and through the mountains and down the streams of this section the name Arizona spells to him nothing but a desert country. here and there livencd by a mine But when one knows the territory, one loves it as he can noth- ling that he has not fostered and work ed with. It is hard work. this manner of travel; but it has more compensa- - tions as reward than anything I ever before undertook. There are beauty spots here that no country can sur pass, spots where vegetation is of great fecundity. where labor is paid an hundredfold, and where the delight is not only financial success, but in the very essence of a good life Charles A Dunsmore in Bisbee Re view

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
 SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS
Public Ownership of Telegraph Lines Has Been a Costly Ex-
 pertinent.

Government ownership of the tele- graph lines of Great Britain, after trial of thirty-nine years, has proven a costly financial failure. according to the London spectator. which has just finished a rigid in vestigation of the subject. During inc elapsed time mentioned the tele- graph lines of England have cost tax payers approximately S175.000,9Oo and in return for this vast sum of money they have on their hands an asset which involves every year an additional loss of about 5000. .6Oo.
 Advocates of government owner ship of American railway, telephone and telegraph lines will be inter eSted by the Spectator" article.
 Tn 1866 the first proposal of gov ernment ownership in Great Britain was advanced and a conservative estimate placed on the Fotal cost price at S11.5OOO 900. it took three years to complete the arrangements and at the end of that time Britis'r subjects paid about S35,OO0.0O0 for the telegraph lines-three times as much as the original estimate. Be sides this. s2O.O0O. 900 more was paid the railroads of the state for their freehold interest in the right of way lines along their tracks, which the telegraph companies had leased. AL together the telegraph business cost English taxpayers $55,OOO,0 ,010.
 For two years after the final pur- chase a slight net revenue was real ized on the investment. Then the re- turns could not be made to pay the interest on the tremendous in- vestment and for the past thirty nine years even this item has been paid out of the public treasury. Be sides this it was found that a min ority of the population, consisting of purely commercial people and the racing fraternity were the only ones receiving any benefit whatsoever from public ownership. The vast maority were being taxed to subsidize two distinct classes.
 Under popular clamor rates were reduced. This remedy did not go as the cost of maintenance increased en- ormously and the rates of today are actually more than they were thirty years ago"
 From the great English newspapers figures, some idea of the result of public ownership in a country as compact and small as the British isles can be gained. Also some idea of the result of such a procedure in the United States, with its great area and comparatively sparse pop Ulation
