Training of Kids for Sensations Must Be Satisfied-Inquiry

Does anybody wanna rent nerry-go-round? ?"
 Quoted from the letter of the sec- retary of the Wilcox Fair. He says any old kind of a whirligig will do, just so long as it holds together long enough to furnish amusement for a fair -Weekful of kids.
 Suspecting some such article of joy might be hidden or stored in Phoenix. the Wilcox man writes an appeal to the board of trade to un- earth the thing and cOnsign it to the nearest station, whence it can be sent to the sensation hungry boys and girls of the speedy little burg.
 Nothing definite can he learned concerning the whereabouts of the nearest merry -gO-round. No Phoenix citizen is suspected of harboring such an apparatus. Still, Phoenix wishes Wilcox all kinds of luck in it's search, and hopes the secretary will succeed in putting salt on the tail of something big and daring for the anxious youngsters,

MOTOR OWNERS
 SHOULD HURRY
Few of Them Are Breaking Speed Limit in Securing State License. Law Be comes Effective Septem- Der 20.

The new law governing the use of automobiles on the public highways, will become effective on September 20 It provides that every owner of a mo- tor machine shall come across with a piece of money for the road fund The motorcycles are let by for s2 annually, the automobiles under 40 horse power can operate for 8 per annum and ma chimes or larger size must be provided for with ten spot. In return for these payments every applicant receives a state number which must be attached to his machine
 Gentlemen who drive their own ma chimes have no further tax to pay but every chauffeur who is a professional or paid motor driver, must deposit s5 for license, in return for which he secures a badge that gives him the le- gal right to say he knows his business
 All these fees must be sent to the secretary of state who hands out the permits and passes the kale along to the treasurer who drops it into the road fund. Thus far about $500 has been received by the secretary of state who expects to take in between $15. .000 ard $20,000 more before the goth of Sep tember or it will be apparent the mo- tOrists of the state are not living up to the law. After that date it will be the duty of any peace officer in the state to stop every driver who does not ex- hibit his state number on his machine and learn the reason why. It is likely f great many know nothing about the law and never will until some one taps them on the shoulder, so it is pre- stunned that officers will be reasonable in the enforcement of the law at first or lenient until the viOlators have ar opportunity to make good It is esti- mated that the revenue from this source should be in the neighborhood i of $20,00O per annum, though the leg | islature assumed it would be consid- erably greater than that.
 Licenses No. 1. No. 2 and No. 3 were issued to Dr H. w. Fenner of Tucson l Thos. Maddock of Williams and G. P | Bullard of Phoenix, respectively. Ina is the order in which applications were filed with the secretary, just as soor as the law was passed pr F'enner wa! the owner of the first auto in Arizona and now has the first state liscense is. l sued
 l MT. MaJdock of Williams helped t
 make the law. MT Bullard drafted i
 after the California law and hoped tc
 be the owner of the first license bu 1 the others beat him to it.
 In respect of this law the question has been asked, and is yet unansweret whether one having a state license stil has to secure the city license and tn machine number of the town in whicl i he lives. Secretary Osborn says h. will pass that along to the attorne, general and the attorney general Ina
 made no expression yet. It is certail all will have to pay the state licens

SESSION LAWS
 NOW ON SALE
Plain People Can Buy More Statutory Provi- sions for S1.25 Than They Can Live Up to the Rest of Their Lives.

Two thousand copies of the laws of the first state legislature, the product of both sessions being bound in one volume, have been printed and deliv- cred to the secretary of state. Each volume has 1132 pages and copies will be sold to book lovers at $125 each They are bound in paper and the law inside of them is guaranteed to be just as good as though it were bound in calf with morocco trimmings and gold letters. Those who prefer copies bound in leather may have them-if they take them to a bindery and have it done at their own expense. The law provides that only 200 copies shall be bound in leather at the states expense and these shall be furnished to members of the legislature and state officials designat- ed.
 The secretary's office calls attention to the indexing of the volume which it regards as a little better job than was ever turned out before in the pub lication of the Arizona statutes. It is contended that a person of good ordi- nary intelligence can find what he is looking for. if it is there, which has not always been the case, unless the seeker were an experienced lawyer, skilled in searching for obscure stat utes and legal provisions The index ing was done by $. l.. Pattee, on whom will fall the duty also of codifying the new laws and the old ones, so they may be amalgamated into a Arizona law book that will contain the whole business, constitution, by laws, apoc- aIypse and concordance.
 The journals of the legislature, it is announced will be ready for distribu- tion in about a week. Five hundred copies of this important embalming of legislative conduct have been ordered

 Roosevelt chuckled as he read the newspaper stories. He stopped ab- ruptly in the reading and looked up at the correspondents.

 There is one thing that Roosevelt asks the correspondents to make clear each time they visit him. That is he does not say the Standard Oil die not contribute $100,OO0 to his campaign fund in 1904, but that he does not know of any such contribution anG that if it was given, his campaign managers received it in violation ol , his explicit instructions.
