The last fiscal year was d good one in nearly all lines of business. The notion that a Presidential campaign is bad for business will long survive, but from the time NIT. Roosevelt threw his hat into the ring till MT. Wilson took the oath of office, and thence to June 30. business in nearly evlry line was steadily expanding. The railroad busi- ness has been continuously increasing, many of the commercial records were broken fin the calendar year 1912 or the fiscal year 1913, and our exports rose to nearly two and a half billions. It is not many years since We were congratuIating ourselves or exports oi billion and a half And the expan- sion has been chiefly in the products of our mills and factories. The relative importance of our agricultural eS-
 ports has been declining for some years. As we increase in numbers we have less flour and meat to spare.

There never was a time during the past ten years in Arizona when there was greater activity on the part of the big producing mining companies in the state in the search for additional properties that give promise of being placed in the producing class. A pros pector who can make a good ore show ing now has no trouble in having skilled engineers assigned for it's ex- animation by those who have the cash to pay for it if the experts say that it is worth while.

The recent promotions in the Cal umet 6 Arizona organization in this district is a dcmonstratloE of a policy that is one of the popular features of this company With continuation of this policy it will not be long until the c. & A. mines will be in the hands of those who have learned the mining business with the company. Win Goh- ring started with the c. & A. as a mucker, then took position with the engineering department at a less salary and soon worked himself to the position of mining superintendent John Rawlings, now with the c. & A was railroad office clerk and has reached his present responsible posi- ton as purchasing agent in five years. Pat Nathan, whc has just reached the position of assist ant purchasing Agent, is another that has won his spurs during the last three years.

INTeRsA1IoNAL FAIRS.

The English people need not get ex- cited about it if we entertain a sus. picion that the controversy over canal tolls had something to do with the British governments declinatfoL of our invitation to participate in the Panama Exposition in San Francisco. But the official explanation is perfect ly reasonable, and it may very well be the true one. says the Philadelphia Record.
 San Francisco is long way from Europe. It would be expeL sive and in convenient for European manufactur-' CTS to install extensive exhibitions there. If they declined for purely commercial reasons it would be natural enough. English manufactur- CTS are said to have replied to their government that worlds fairs came around too often and cost more than they brought in, and they would not go to the expense of displays in San Francisco.
 Worlds fairs have been oyerdcne. The various European countries are so close together that it is a relative ly simple thing for them to exhibit in London or Paris or Vienna. But even near home manufacturers are growing weary of the cost of exhibition. We have been very meagreIy represented in some of the European expositions and it is not hard to believe the Euro pean manufacturers who say that they cannot afford to exhibit in the most remote city of the United States.
 The fairs themselves are almost never remunerative. Most of our cities which have had them have found not only that the first cost exceeded the revenue. but that for some time after the fair business was dull and the Ia Dor market greatly overstocked. On s large scale they have realized the complaint of Boston over the crowds that came to an 'OId Home" week that everybody brought s bill and a collar and never changed either.
 As for the manufacturers. the sdver Using was a great thing so long as the demand for gold medals held out. Nov almost every important manufacture of anything in any part of the world has had a gold medal for some inter national exposition or other, and tn collection of gold cases Of gold medal are found to be rather eNpensiv pastime.
 New Orleans. even with the reco lection of the Cotton ExpositiC of 1885. was anxious for tn Panama exposition and San FraI cisco. which had never had

 need astonish no one; they have ha good deal of the worlds fair e perience.

New York, March 17.--Traders were

Southern Pacific ultimately fell back

gradual improvement of the rest of the
market.
Bonds were heavy.
There were wide fluctuations in the

LOCAL TEACHERS
FOR PENSION BILL
OTTUMWANS WORKING WITH
UTMOST EFFORT TO SECURE
PASSAGE OF MEASURE
STATE AID is SMALL
Teachers Declare That the Fund
Raised by Assessing School
Workers Will Be SeIf-Sup-
porting for Some Time.

The Ottumwa Teachers club, which
is affiliated with the national organiza-
ton and is one of the strongest asso-
Citations in the state, is just now work
ing with the utmost effort to secure
the passage of an annuity bill for dis
abled and retired teachers which is
now pending in the state legislature.
This bill provides for board of
trustees and defines it's duties, pro-
vides for it's proper investment and
the reception Of gifts and requests to
the fund. No teacher is obliged to con-
tribute or become beneficiary of the
fund under the act, but those who do
will voluntarily contribute one per
cent of their monthly salaries if hav-
ing taught less than ten years, and
two per cent Of their monthly salaries
if they have taught more than ten
years After 5000 have been paid in
deduction will cease. A very small
state contributions asked for but this,
the teachers say, will not call forth
any objection as the fund will be self
supporting for some length of time.
A teacher may retire under this act
with a pension of SIS year for every
year Of service, provided this does not
amount to more than $500. Any
teacher disabled after having taught
five years in the state may draw an
annuity of SIS for each year taught.
Any teacher who resigns after three
years of service may draw out of the
fund one-half Of what she has con-
tributed.
This is a statewide bill and the
word teacher" as construed in this
act means.~all persons regularly en-
gagged in teaching or administration
in the public schools of any state, in
Guiding city and county superintend-
ents, assistant superintendent, super
visors, principals and teachers, pro-
viding that service of such persons
above mentioned should be at least
eighteen years in the state of Iowa.
The fund is exempt from garnish-
ment or execution and if the act is
passed will go into effect and be in

where two per cent of their salary is
asked for the first ten years, two and

for all the years after.
California asks twelve dollars a
year, Baltimore one per cent of the
salary for the first ten years, one and
one-half for the second ten years, and
three per cent for all the time after
Columbus asks two dollars month,
Indianapolis asks one per cent of the

dollars for the second five years, and
twenty-five dollars for the remainder
of the years taught. Philadelphia asks
one per cent of those who have been
in service for ten years or less, two
per cent for more than this, but the
