TWO OLD VETERANS
 PAY VISIT ID PHOENIX
Are Seeking Two Friends From Utica,
 N. Y., Supposed to Be Here

Charles Schmidt and A. Knauer are two typical, blue coated veterans of the civil war They live in Utica, N. Y, and perhaps from long associ- ation. they are about as alike as two peas. They registered at the Com mercial hotel yesterday and began a general survey of the city. The two comrades had crossed the continent together and were in attendance at the annual encampment of the c. A. R. at Los Angeles. They are now en route back home, and had secured d stopover privilege on their tickets permitting them to make a short visit in Phoenix
 While they claim they would have wished to visit Phoenix anyway, the real object of their visit was to To- cate couple of old time friends whom they understood were living ia or near Phoenix. One was a man named Dietrick and the other an en- gineer named Sieboldt. Last evening they had not succeeded in locating either but expect better success today.
 We had just the best encampment the G. A. R. ever held" said Mir. Schmidt. "and were entertained in Ibgdi ldSuiOH III LOS FAHStlCS. we were made to feel glad at all times that we had come and we felt more than repaid for the long journey from the empire state to the Pacific
 We would like to run across Diet rick He was in the same company with us during the civil war Sieboldt is the son of a man back in Utica who iS a close friend of ours.
 You certainly have a fine city here. We think Utica is about the best city in the world but for a smaller place. Phoenix is quite in line with our progressive home town. We had supposed that Phoenix was just about as warm as they make it, but we found Los Angeles to be good deal warmer than anything we have found here. We will have to leave on Monday, but we shall cer- tainlv do 1t with pleasant memories of Phoenix"

A Jefferson county Pennsyl-
vanian, who is one of the unique
characters of the county and has
been engaged in farming and
numbering on a small scale. is now
keeping hotel. He speaks with
a slow inimitable drawl and is,
withall, a steadfast republican.
Last Mon day a commercial
traveller asked him for his views
on the contest for the republican
nomination for president; after
some deliberation Jake replied:

Roosevelt; heXhows what to do

these here fellows down in Cuba
got to kickin' up a kind of rue
tion and Mr.. Roosevelt sent this
here ma-an, Taft, down there
and he smoothed things purity
we'll. And then, you know, Mr..
Roosevelt he stole a piece of
ground down there somewheres
about Panama, and he wanted
folks to think he got it honest, so
he called in this here Taft and
got him to fix it up on paper so
that it looked about ha-alf decent.
"And you know Mr.. Roos-e-
welt he was president about

through with it inside of about
eight years; so think we ought
to stick to Mr.. Roosevelt and
give his ma-an, Ta-aft, about
four years more in which to fin

Lack of the nerve to veto
appropriations on the part of
Governor Hay has in creased
the states general taxes more
than 67 per cent during Hays
three years in Office. The chief
appropriations of the 1909 session
became law without his sigma
ture. He did not possess the
moral courage to exercise his
power Of veto nor to approve the
bill. but did as he has continued
to do, "straddled" the issue.
1t is timely to note that includ-
ed in the unused appropriations
of the 1909 legislature which
lapsed, and the amount of which
Hay claims as a saving by his
business administration, was the
appropriation for salary of lieu
tenant governor. Hay promptly
grabbed the larger salary of gov
ernor when the death of Cosgrove
made him executive, and let the
petty pay provided for lieutenant
governor lapse.
To get back to the state tax
figures.
In 1908, the last year of the
Mead administration, the general
state tax was 81, 1877, $50 on a
valuation of STAB, 593, 942.
In 1909 the general tax was
So, 2,37l. 259 on a valuation of $780,
419,826
In 1910 the general tax was
81, 903, 120 on a valuation of $685..
247,944.
In 1911 the general state tax
was $2,005, 764 on a valuation of
1856, 125, 1854.
The increase for 1911, the third
year of the Hay administration,
over 1908, the last year of the
Mead administration, was:
In valuation more than 279o.
In general fund levy more than
31%.
In actual tax called for, more
than 6796.
In other words on top of
27% increase in valuations the
levy was increased 3196, thereby
increasing the amount of tax to
be paid to the state for general
purposes 6796.
And on top of that the state is
today in debt to banks for money
borrowed on overdrafts, to help
out its general fund, more than
half a million dollars that the tax
payers must repay.

The Roosevelt forces now con-
troll the King county and Spo-
kane county republicans and
indications are strong that Wash
ington republicanism will go to
Chicago with their pockets filled
with Roosevelt ballots, to the en-
tire seclusion of Taft. Only a
few months ago this state was
considered safe for Taft, but
sentiment is fast changing to
Roosevelt.
In Stevens county it was at
first believed that the old-time
republican machine could con-
tinue the control of the county
for the administration, but the
Roosevelt strength has now be-
come so pronounced over the
county that under the new lead
ership of Representative Henry
R. Spedden the republican party
is likely to go ahead without any
recognition of the old plan of
party control for personal ends.
The republican county commit
tee is said to contemplate a quiet
hand-picked delegation to the
state convention, taking solid
Taft representation. But it is
not likely that Spedden will stand
for any maneuver of this kind,
for he at present has the whip
handif he cares to use it. Even
a delegation half for Taft and
half for Roosevelt would hardly
represent the county, for the
Roosevelt men are in the major
ity and can demand a full Roose-
velt delegation if they wish.
The Adams-Seal-Index control
of county politics may receive a
jolt this year in finding a new
leadership far above them, but
Stevens county is becoming more
progressive each year, and
changes are bound to come. even
