STERLING MEN SURE
CLAIM A LEAD OF NINE HUNDRED
MAJORITY FOR SEN.
ATOR.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, tho Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts of
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-The only figures available
Sterling headquarters here, which
place the plurality of Sterling over
Gamble at 900. The semi-offcial re-
turns filed with the secretary Of state
sustain practically these claims so far.
The late returns cut the majority
down to the figure given, after deduct
ing counties which were last to send
anything definite.
Semi-official figures on SO out Of 61
counties give Hepperle a lead of 1873
over Glassner for secretary of state.
The same class Of returns on 35 coun-
ties give Policy a lead Of ove 5000
over COrson for the supreme bench,
and Gates a lead Of 1921 over Haney.
While it is possible that Haney may
yet retain his place on the bench, the
trend Of the figures coming in is not
favorable.
Johnson has a lead Of 210 owe
Wickhem for governor on the Demo
cratic ticket.
Figures from Sc counties on dele
gates show in round numbers, % 1000
for Roosevelt, $4,000 for LaFollette,
1000 for Taft.
The same counties indicate the Sc
lection of a Clark delegation from this

Big State Expense.

Owing to the magnificent appropria- tions of the late lamented first state legislature Arizona taxpayers have to meet expenses for the year totaling L. 900, ,O00$, nearly four times that of last year. Three items along cover ap- propriations of nearly one million. 300, ,OOO$ has been appropriated for free text books and aid to counties unable to maintain schools the full length of time required by the school laws.
 3O0,OOOS has been appropriated to cover the deficit created by the coming in of the state government.
 250, ,000$ has to be raised for road purposes, seventy-6ve per ceat of which goes to the counties according to their classification, the balance going into the state road fund.-
 It is the belief of the state officers that the state levy will total 1908 on the lOO$ of valuation, practically double that of last year, but the people are to be consoled by the fact that it might have been worse; that the legislature might have remained in session another day and agreed upon the bonding of the state for fifteen millions to meet the demands of the alfalfa gentlemen in Maricopa county for a few bOulevards.

Arizona Corpora
 ton Commission,

Arizona's Corporation Commission has sent notices to all railroads doing business in this state that the Commis- sion is to take up the subject of rates on potatoes, onions, fruits and vege- tables applying between all points in the state in carloads and less than car. loads. It is alleged that the railroads are charging too high tariff on these commodities and that should the Cor poration Commission so find it is prob- able that the railroads will be ordered to make a reduction in accordance with the findings. The Commission, under the constitution and the laws adopted at the last session of the legislature, is all powerful in the mat. ter of interstate commerce and it is possible that there will be radical reduction in the tariff on vegetables and fruits.

standing ten to nine. It was fathered by Cochise county man, but had be- hind it the undivided support of the alfalfa growers of the state. The measure proposes to make every mine operated under lease and bond re. sponsible for all work done thereon and for all supplies and materials furnished. It simply puts out of all possibility the leasing of mine under any terms and would materially curtail work in all the mining counties of the state. Miners working on any mine under the tribute system who fails to pay their store bills would involve the mine owner in the payment by fixing lien on the property. Under no con- dition would a mine owner be safe from the fixing of liens should he bond or lease his property, It is one of the most drastic measures ever passed, and would result in great harm were it allowed to remain on the statute books. It is to be hoped that every man who has the welfare of the state at heart will vote against the measure. Had the same class of Legislation been applied to the farmer what a howl would have gone up. Let a farmer lease his lands to a tenant, who in turn would employ men to SOW and harvest the lands and then slip out without paying them, and then have the men fix a lien on the lands for their pay, wouldn't the farmer howl. But that is just what these farmer fel- lows want the mine owner to say is good and that he likes it. The people should scrutinize closely this measure and realize fully its import. If they believe that fixing lien on mine is the proper way to develop the country, let them vote for this measure. But on the other hand, if they believe that others should take chance with the mine owner, let them vote this law off the statute books.
