SCHOLARSHIPS Of
REAL BENEFIT
TOSTUDENTS
Ambitious Boy or Girl
Helped to Gain An
Education.

TUCSON, June 1.-THE County
Scholarships for the University of
Arizona, voted by the Legislature at
the 1912 session, have been a great
boon to students who used them.
Eeveral students at the University
could not have entered the institu-
zion without this financial help. The
scholarship means $50 to apply on
all kinds of fees at the University.
During the past year scholarships
have been held by the following
students and everyone Of these stu
dents has been a credit to the Uni
versity and to himself
Pima County, Fred w. Rogers, Of
Tucson; Maricopa County. John w.
Getsinger, of Phoenix; Yuma coun-
ty, Ruby Livingston, of Yuma; Co
Ichise County, Marguerite Poiser of
Douglas; ella County, Turner c.
Smith of Globe, Graham County.
Alma Sessions of Thatcher; Yavapai
County. Ralph Bell, of Prescott;
Apache County, Levi s. Udall of St.
Johns; Greenlee County, Allen c.
Jones, of Clifton.
The County School Superinten-
dents will open examination in each
county June 18th, and every high
school graduate interested to come
to the University and unable to at
tend without financial help should
compete for the examination. The
requirements for the examination are
moderate and ought to be met easily
by any we'll prepared student.
One of the students who had the
scholarship during the past year and
was fully earning his way at the
give nearly one-half the amount of
his scholarship to another student
from the same town TO help him
along in his work.
Several of the scholarship students
have been earning their way at the
University; Miss Paiser of Douglas
was clerk of the Registrar and post
ed the records OF Students very
responsible task; Alma Sessions OF
Thatcher was the University cleo
trician, and was called upon fire.
quently day and evening to make
electrical repairs; Ralph Bell of Pres
colt was ready at all times for any
kind OF work that would help him
earn little money; John w. Get
singer of Phoenix earned money on
the side by tutoring; Turner c
Smith of Globe carried his class
work well and showed some of his
artistic ability in submitting to the
Board of Regents OF the University
designs for the new University seal;
Allan c. Jones of Clifton was one
OF the strong members of the base
ball club.
Nothing that the State has done
for the University, and for the
amount given has been of more prac-
teal value to the students. The
University would be glad if the
scholarships could be awarded not
only to the counties as such, but
also to every high school in the
state; Maricopa County for example !
has several high schools. at Phoe-
nix, Tempe, Mesa and Glendale and
everyone of these would present
worthy candidates.

safe and profitable. Therefore no small
part of the people of the United States,
including those who are employed by rail-
roads and by the gerat manufacturing es-
adjustments whose commodities are Tor
the most part purchased by the railroad
companies, are personally and directly af-
fected by the prosperity of the railroad
companies
Recent statistics, however, make it
clear that railroad companies of the
United States, with perhaps a few excep-
tons, cannot gain the income which is
necessary to provide for Improvement, for
depreciation, for taxes, for high wages,
for reasonable dividends, and at the same
time gain surplus earnings sufficient to
establish good credit for the railroads If
the rates now charged for transporting
freight are maintained President Elliott
says that out of every. $1O0 of gross earn
lngs OF the railroads a few years ago,
s9l was paid for labor, materials. taxes
and rent and interest. leaving only So
available for improving the property and
for dividends and for surplus The. aver
age dividends or interest paid In recent
years has been little in excess of 4 per
cent.
One thing is spoken of as certain. and
that is that were the interstate eommis-
sion to. grant the request of the eastern
railroads. that they be permitted to in
crease their charges for freight by 5 per
cent. there would be instant and enthlisi-
astic response in the securities market
and In activity, if not all forms of manu-

this would be a prosperity which the
farmers of the United States would be
