COLONEl'S TRUST PLANK
There Should Be No Rigid Enforce
 ment of Anti trust Law.

OYSTER BAY. July 5.-"The plat forms of both the republican and democratic parties call for a rigid enforcement of the trust laws. and they are both WrOng," declared Roosevelt today.
 The former president said that in his campaign he would attack both old parties on this score. He intend ed to take the position outlined in his OssaWattomie speech two years ago. when he said the great business interests of the country are here to stay, and should be controlled by means of federal supervision. The attempt to abolish them, he said, is futile
 Roosevelt denied the report that he had offered the nomination for the vice presidency to Judge E. B. Lind say of Denver Such talk is bosh.' he said. If the convention nomin- ates me for the presidency. it will also nominate a vice president. The people must do it all.''

Unfortunate Since Arizona Shooters Have Been Steadily Climb

Although there is no federal appro- priation to help pay the expense this year, Adjutant General Harris is es pecially anxious that some provision be made whereby the rifle team of the Arizona National Guard can take part in the annual tournament of the Ma tional Rifle association which will be held a Sea Girt New Jersey TWen- ty-five states will be represented at the contest and the sentiment is uni Versal among the guardsmen that an Arizona team should be on the ground.
 Here is the situation" said Gen eral Harris yesterday. The Arizona team has been going ahead year by year until it has finally landed in the A class. There has not been a year yet that has not shown an improve ment over the preceding one; and it certainly would be a shame if we are compelled to sacrifice a large part of what has been gained, which would inevitably be the effect of missing the contest"
 There is another reason why the guardsmen are anxious to send a team this year: and that is that next year will occur the international contest at Camp Perry, in which all qualified riflemen will. of course, desire to par ticipate

Insurgent Republican Sena-
 tors Were Getting Moth
 ing in Return for Extrac- tion of Democratic Ta.iff Chestnuts From the Fire
ALL THEIR MEASURES
 WENT BY THE BOARD
Regular Republicans Ar ranged Matters So That Insurgent Aid Was Not Needed; Probably No More Tariff Legislation
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH 1

WASHINGTON, July 5.-The work ing agreement between the democratic and insurgent republican senators is at an end. It has been abrogated as result of conferences since the metal bill was passed in the senate by the democrats in the absence of the regular republicans and without the aid of the insurgents The prob able result will be that the house sugar, wool and excise bills will be presented to the senate and voted down by a strict party vote. All re- publicans are expected to vote against them, and it is probable that some of the democrats will join them in op- position to the house sugar bill, which would admit sugar free of duty.
 After the passage of the metal bill. the democrats appointed a committee to confer with the insurgent repub- licans regarding future cooperation. Finally the democrats of the commit tee were notified that they could eX- pect no further cooperation because of the impOssibility of getting con- sideratiOn of insurgent measures.
 This condition was produced by the decision of the regular republicans to disappear from the chamber in suf- ficient numbers to allow the demo- crats to get their own bills through without the aid of insurgents This program rendered it impossible for the insurgents to get even a vote on their measures and they decided not to play any longer.

 Old Organization; Colonel Would Not Prosecute the Trusts for Violating Law
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON. July 5-Senator Cummins of Iowa progressive repub- lican candidate for the nomination in the Chicago convention formally declared today against the new party movement led by Roosevelt and an nounced his allegiance to the old party.
 In so doing, Cummins declared that bosses could not be escaped by the organization of new parties and to these republicans who, after an intelligent inquiry conclude that Tafts renOminatiOn was the result of fraud should vote for the nominee of the convention though he is not the nominee of the republican party.
 He pointed out however that the disappointment of an individual be- cause of dishonesty cannot be the foundation of d new party.
 John Capers of North Carolina. who supported Roosevelt at Chicago also formally announced his intention to support Taft's candidacy Capers. in a statement said the work of the majority of the national committee was not a whit more severe than the steam roller methods of forty years ago"

NOTIFICATION
 0F PRESIDENT
That Formal Ceremony of Letting Him Know What Happened at Chica g o Will Take Place August First
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATCHl

BEVERLY, Mass, July 5.-Presi- dent Taft will receive formal notifi- cation that he is the nominee of the republican party at the White House, Washington. about August l. The president told his visitors at Para metta today that he had talked with Senator Root and that he had de- cided that the notification should take place at Washington.
 The president has planned a recep- ton for early next week to the sub committee of the national convention which is to meet him and go over the situation and hear his suggestion for chairman of the national com nittee.
 MT Taft explained to callers today that as far as he is concerned the row between MacVeagh and Andrew is closed incident The president was said today to have taken the position that Andrew clearly dis obeyed orders by going to Chicago to attend the republican convention after he had been informed by Mac Veagh that two other assistant sec retaries and MacVeagh would be away from Washington

APACHE'S ADDITION
 ID ASSESSMENT ROLL

Last year the assessed valuation ol all property in Apache county was $1,2OO, 900.
 This year it is $2,4OO,OOO, which is an increase of 100 per cent.
 That is the story told by Assessor DiOnicio Duran, in his report to the state tax commission
 From which it would seem that DiOnicio has been one of the busiest little assessors in these parts.
 This, however, isn't the whole story. DioniciO not only raised the valuation on the visible property. he discovered quite a lot of property that heretofore has been invisible
 For instance there are the sheep Last year there were fewer than 100000 shep in Apache county. This year Dionicio reports 144000. It would seem there has been some near sighted assessors in Apache county or those sheep are up in arms against race suicide.
 And the same thing is true of the cattle. There were 10000 cattle last year and this year there are 10000. It bea tsall how the cattle have in- creased up in that country.
 But the state tax commission think an addition to the assessment rolls of more than million dollars in one county in a single year is pretty good; and for that reason they have written Donicio a highly compliment tarY letter.

FULLER NAMED
 ASST. CASHIER
Phoenix National Bank Creates a New Office and Has the Right Man in Its Employ to Fill It, G. C.. Fuller

The board of directors of the Phoe- nix National bank has created a new office, that of another assistant cash fer, and has named c. G. Fuller as the man to fill it. In the selection of MT. Fuller the directors believe they are not only placing deserved recognition on a good man but that his already valuable services will be enhanced with his added responsi bilities
 MT. Fuller has been in the employ of the bank for three years during which time he has not only served it faithfully but has made himself invaluable by constant attention to business and being ever on the alert in protecting the banks interests. Mir. Fuller came here from Minnesota where he was employed for years by large banking firm with which he gained wide experience in the busi- ness.
 MT. Fuller has a wife and daughter who are now in Europe but will re- turn shortly. and he expects to leave on the 2Oth for Boston where he will join them and spend his summer vacation Mrs Fuller will probably return home with him, Miss Fuller remaining in the east for the present in the pursuance of her studies.
 It should not be inferred by any that MT Fuller is succeeding Mir Galliver who has served the bank for sometime as assistant cashier and who is one of it's older employees. On the contrary it is merely adding to the forces of the cashiers depart ment MT. Gallfver is now enjoying a vacation at Catalina island and will be at his desk again the latter part of the month.
