BONDS TO FIND
 READY MARKET
Many Inquiries from Big Eastern Financial Houses Regarding Four and Half Per Cent Refunding Bonds.

Although there were not many bldS for the $20OO,00O four per cent refund ing bonds that the Arizona Funding and Loan commission offered for sale, there will no doubt be plenty of bids Tor the issue that was authorized at the after meeting of the commission to be sold at four and half per cent. It is d fact that is testified to by many financial and bond houses that there aer no state bonds now being sold at four per cent
 State treasurer D. F. Johnson has had about fifty letters from some of the largest financial and investment houses in the country during the pen .dency of the proposed four per cent issue asking him it possfpIe to let them know if it is possible to get refundlng bonds of Arizona for a larger per cent of interest Money is bringing more than four per cent in the market ac- cording to the statement of the E. H. Rollins company but four and half per cent is good enough for nearly any one who has capital to invest in that sort of bond.
 The advertisements for the new is sue will be placed in a few Arizona papers but more of it will be placed in the financial journals of the east. es- pecialIy in New York and Chicago These ads last time brought as many as fifty inquiries per city each of them asking for a greater per cent on the bonds
 Under the laws of the state of Ari zona the bonds cannot be sold at less l,,, granted In like manner when par is demanded there is very often very lit tie premium. yet at the same time the difference of few dollars on a bid of that nature in the way of premium often decides the award. One of the firms in communication with the state treasurer has offered to take the entire issue at four and a half per cent and to exchange the for the other bonds which they will be issued to cancel

 s. H Mitchell, superintendent of the street railway, spoke of the business interests of the city," and the relation ship of the "Y'' to them.
 The big interests of the country en- gagged in industrial pursuits have taken up work along Young Mems Christ ians Association lines. The cotton as sociatiOn, the Harvester trust, the Pennsylvania railroad. the Pine Lum- Der association have set aside quarters and engaged men to carry out the as sociation work. These companies and associations are not doing this for dol lars and cents but because it tends to make better citizenship. In Arizona the Phelps Dodge company and others are doing this, while the Pacific coast is dotted with concerns engaged in similar activities.
 A few years ago a beautiful building on the Pacific coast went up in flames, from it's upper stories one hundred men were taken out in drunken StupOr. If fire should start here tonight what sort of men would march out of the building A totally different sort. Many a man can date his start from kindly word obtained at the Y. M. C. A.
 If this institution gives one man a better view and outlook on life it will have been worth all it cost. I bespeak for this institution your heartiest fi- nancial and moral support"
 Mayor Christy responding in place of Governor Hunt gave a number of "reminiscences of the old Y. M. C. A. of the early days. He stated that he believed that the financial upbuilding and civic betterment of Phoenix began a few years ago when the campaign for $100,00O for the erection of the building in which the company was as sembIed was begun. The men of the town began to pull together from that time on There are many things to be done but the men of the city will pull together to raise the debt now over the institution.
 In speaking to the subject The Citv's Best Asset" pr. Ray c. Harker of the First Methodist church said: ",The triangular buttons of the Y. M. C. A. carries three words body, mind and spirit" a threefold purpose which places a supreme asset upon man. hood. The only impressionable crown is that of righteousness. It is also the supreme test of human life and char acter. Human honors and human fame fades before it. Manhood is the great asset of any city.

show Mr.. Fordney wrong in maintain
ing that beet sugar tends to check ris'

Mr.. Lowry insists the truth is that

sugar at $685. per hundred last fall.
In other words Mr. Lowry ridicules
the contention that during the recent
spectacular advance ia sugar. the do
nestle industry stepped into the breach
and saved the day by selling sugar to
consumers at concession thereby pro
tectipg them from the extortion of New
York refiners.
THE idea," Mr. Fordney says, "of
course, is to assume the air of virtue
from the fact that the Michigan Sugar
Co. really did something to prevent the
public from paying too much for their
sugar during the recent rise."
Mr.. Lowry brings in the. Detroit su.

Mr.. Fordney blocked the attempt of
the hartwick (DemocraD sugar inves-
tigating committee to lay straight
course toward the removal of all duty
from sugar and he thereby incurred
the bitter hostility of the refners.
Whether the refners who seek to kill
off Mr.. Fordney, will carry the fight
into his own home district-Saginaw,
where the Michigan sugar beet indus
try centers-is not yet disclosed.
But the first pamphlet against Mr.
Fordney is just out. 1t comes from F.
c. Lowry, who represents himself to be
the secretary and treasurer of the com.
mittee of Wholesale grocers formed to
assist in Iobtaining cheaper sugar for
consumers through reduction of duties
on raw and refined sugars.
The truth about Mr.. Lowry is that he
is selling agent for one of the big
sugar refners and will be one of the
leading witnesses before the Hardwck
committee on behalf of the re6ners and
against the dom estic beet bust ness.
