THE SHAKE,UP
HAS ARRIVED
Reorganization of the De
partment of Agriculture
Begins With Dismissal of
Solicitor From Pure Food
Board.

WASHINGTON, oct. 3.-The initial
move in the reorganization of the de-
partment of agriculture occurred when
Solicitor George p McCabe today was
retired from the pure food and drug
board and Associate Chemist + l..
Dunlap, closely identified with Nc
Cabe, was granted leave of absence
until President Taft returns: Chemist
Harvey w. Wiley is left apparently
in supreme command of the board and
DR.. r. f. DoOlittle of New York is
appointed temporarily to the board to
succeed McCabe. Secretary Wilson
announced the changes following a
conference with Wiley, who has been
on a long vacation. McCabes dis
missal was deemed inevitable, in view
of the antagonism which was disclosed
before the congressional committee
last summer, and in view Of Dr.
Wiley's eXoneration by President Taft
after Wickersham became aligned with
Wilson and McCabe. Dunlap was act
ing chairman of the board during
Wiley's absence. His temporary with
drawal was attributed to his usual
four weeks vacation, but Wilson said
he would not return until after Tafts
return. Wilson said McCabe's duties
as solicitor remained unchanged. Tn
der the general provisions of the law
he will be able to continue to exercise
important control over the enforce
ment of the pure food laws.

CLERK IS PREPARING
NOTICE OF PRIMARY
Apparent Mistake by the Legislature
Makes Unavoidable Much Use
less and Cumbersome Work

w. Z. Thomas, clerk of the county
board of supervisors, is busy prepar-
ing the notices for the coming pri-
mary election. Under the construction
placed upon the law by the super
Visors the notice must contain the
date of the primary, full list of the
offices TO be filled, the place where
the voting is TO be done in each pre-
cinct, and the names Of all the mem
bers of the primary board. Under
this construction of the law the no.
tice will be quite a cumbersome af-
fair. since it will include the names
of all the election officers for each Of
the precincts of the county
1t is altogether probable that the
legislature did not intend to enact
that kind of law but that is the kind
Of law it did in fact enact; and under
the circumstances there seems nothing
for the officials to do but follow the
statute to the letter

BETTER LOOK OUT
FOR COMETS TAIL
Scientists at the Lowell Observatory
Say It Is Composed of Deadly
Cyanogen Gas.

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., oct 3.-Spec-
trograms Of Brooks comet, taken last
night at the Lowell observatory, show
the head is composed chiefly OF cya-
nogen, and the tail of nonoxide. with
some hydrocarbon and cyanogen.
There is practically no continuous
spectrum-that is, the light is not
emitted by solid particles, but by
gases This is almost exactly what
Halleys comet showed with regard
to the different constitution of the
head and tail. except the spectrum
from the solid particles there was
greater. Beliowski's comet is a strik-
ing object in the morning sky. The
length of the tail this morning was
about fifteen degrees. 1t makes at
the present moment the other angle
of long isosceles triangle with Venus
and Mercury.

Court.
BRIEF FILED IN
TELEGRAPH CASE
Attorneys Take the Ground
That Oregon Direct Leg
islation Plan is in Con-
travention of the Organic
Law.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The task of
attempting TO put an end TO all
initiative and referendum legislation
in this country began today before the
United States supreme court. Coun-
sci for the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph company filed a brief at
tacking the Oregon taxing law. be-
cause it was enacted under the initia-
tive clause of the state constitution,
which is alleged to be in violation of
the federal constitution. The brief
urged that the failure Of the company
to have a hearing before the initiative
method raised its taxes placed the
company at a disadvantage with 9TH
ers that were taxed after being heard
by the state legislature. In this way.
it is claimed, the equal protection of
the laws is denied. The initiative
amendment and the Oregon tax are
denounced as violative of the right of
each state to a republican form of
government. which the federal CON
stitutiOn guarantees. 1t is cOntended
that in legislative assemblies the mi
nority rarely, if ever, fails to moderate
the wishes of the majority, however
powerful. but that government by di-
rect legislation is government by brute
force. The brief quotes Governor Will
son Of New Jersey, who said: The
government must have its laWmaking
body, as we can no moro make laws
through the voters than we can make
laws through the newspapers"
The claim that the initiative is "A
check against the corruption Of legis-
lators is refuted. 1T were better
the brief continues, that the strug-
gle against corporations continue than
that they be eradicated by theories
and practices of government Of n
revolutionary character and founded
on error and injustice"
It asserted that no despot would he
permitted to rule any commonwealth
or nation, yet the despotism Of the
multitude is as arbitrary and COM
plete as the absolutism of a monarch -

We fear no new disturbance. The

TALKS
To BANKERS
Gives Ideas With Regard
to Finance and Govern
ment and Says Cheap Ad-
ministration Is Not Al
ways Best.

The following address was deliv-
cred by Governor Sloan at the bank
ers' convention at Prescott Monday
night;
L presume you bankers know as
well as 1 do that although the poten-
tial wealth of Arizona may be very
great its actual present wealth is
quite inconsiderable as compared with
other states and even cities having
approximately the same population,
namely 100000 people.
4 note for the present year that
we have seventy banks. state and
rational These have a combined
capital including surplus and undi-
vided proceeds Of about four and a
half million dollars and deposits ex-
Ceeding somewhat twenty million dol
lars
We have spent and are spending
a good deal Of money on our educa-
tional institutions and on our public
schools. but none Of this money has
been wasted as the results speak for
themselves.
Relatively I 90 rot regard our tax
rate as high as compared with the
interest rate. Certainly it is not
higher than is a majority Of our
western states. notably Oklahoma
where l am told that the average tax
rate is not far from per cent.
The average tax rate in the sew
eral counties in the territory is S2.sS
on each hundred dollars. varying
from S1.S4 to S3.49. This includes the
90 cents levied for territorial purposes
and road tax.
u am not one Of those who hold
that the best administration is neces-
sarily the cheapest or that the chief
duty of public officials is To save ex-
pense. Efficient government is bet
ter than cheap government; the ideal
government is that government which
combines economy with efficiency
that spends money when it is needed,
where it is needed and not more than
is reasonably needed. Gentlemen this
is the last convention that you will

or for worse will depend upon our

We are living at a time when the
representatives of capital and of
wealth are subject to criticism of all
sorts. some Of it may be just. most
OF it certainly unjust. For this rea-
son business men sometimes shirk
from assuming any responsibility in
the matter of public affairs or i'm en-
gaging in activities of any sort which
are not directly and intimately con-
nected with their own business af-
fairs. The very fact that this feel
ing exists makes it doubly important
that bankers and others should not
withdraw from public affairs. but
should wisely, coura geously and upon
broad lines of patriotism and good
citizenship aid in every way the csIse

PREMIER MAY

Affairs in Turkey Are 60

Pace for the Grand Viz
ier Who is About Tagged
Out.

The last official word from Tripoli
comes from Vice Admiral Faravelli,
who notified the Italian government he
had given the Turkish commander un-
til Tuesday to surrender. A special
edition Of the Rome Tribuna published
a statement that Italian cruisers en-
tered the harbor of TripoI Tuesday
afternoon. bombarded the forts and
the governors castle, made a landing,
and hOisted the Italian flag.
The most important naval capture so
far is that of the Turkish transport
Sabah, with a Turkish general, and a
large consignment of troops and am
munition aboard. Corfu reports that
Duke Abruzzi, commanding the fleet
off Prevesa, threatens to lombard that
place. The Porte's appeal to the pow
ers has been answered by the powers
that they are unable to suggest any
mediation until Turkey outlines the
conditions TO agree with the Italian
demands. \ late report from Con-
stantinople says a new cabinet has
been nominated and that it will con-
tinue a policy looking toward media
tion. 1t is believed Turkey has troops
aboard two Russian steamers held up
at Suez. This tends to confirm a
Viennese report that Turkey has or
dered the Yeman eXpeditionary force
to occupy the coast of the Italian COL
ony of Eritria with the support of
warships.
