THE WATER DECISION.

On December I, the Arizona Corporation Commission handed down it's decision in the case of The Town of Clifton vs. The Clifton Water & Improvement Company. The gist of the decis- ion which is printed in another column, shows a reduction in water rates to families ranging be- tween seven and eight dollars per annum. Th4 rates have been fixed by the Commission with che view of permitting the Water Company to earn a net income on their investment, allowing for depreciation, of ten per cent per annum. The contemplated improvements by the Water Com pany have been approved by the Commission and rapid headway is to be made i'll the installation of same. With the new pipe lines laid, reser- vors erected and increased pumping capacity in stalled at the plant, the difficulties that have rounded the water situation in Clifton give fair promise of soon being overcome At the same time the Town Council should take action regard ing better fire protection A competent engineer experienced in such work, should be poyed by the Council to map out fire protec- ton system for Clifton, and fire hydrants and other paraphernalia should be promptly installed in accordance with his recommendations. And again we urge the establishment of neucleus of paid fire department.

THE COUNTY AUDIT.

More than three hundred individual taxpay- CTS joined with the large mining companies III request to the Board of Supervisors for the rein statement of H. E. Brubaker in the capacity of County Auditor, for the purpose Of making monthly report on the receipts and expenditures of the County of Greenlee, and the administration of County affairs Before all of these requests had been received the Board had prepared and III type circular letter refusing to give MT. Bruba- ker any official standing as County Auditor There is no law providing for the payment ot a County Auditor a monthly salary by the Coun- tv. The law provides for a sem-annual audit and the appointment of a County Auditor every six months for this purpose. Recognizing th1s, the three mining companies, desiring to receive detailed information from month to month re- eardinec receipts and expenditures, secured the services of Accountant Brubaker for this purpose The present Board, at the beginning of their term, on their own initiative, agreed with the mining companies that MT. Brubaker act as tae official County Auditor When the time came for the submission of the sem-annual report, as required by law, there was difference of opinion between the Board and MT. Brubaker as to just what that report should contain and how 1t was to be seg- greeated The Board dismissed MT. Brubaker as official County Auditor and appointed MT. J. J Kelly to make the report in the manner desred bv them and according to their interpretation of the law.
 P But, in taking this action, why did the Board deprive Mr. Brubaker of the legal right of free and easy access to the records and accounts ot the County? If the Board desired the services ot Mr. Kelly for the purpose of making the sem-arf- nua audit they well within their rights in em- ployng him, but the Board showed bad faith Ill deprivng MT. Brubaker of the rights to which the Board had consented in the beg inning. No inac- curacies or mis-statements have been pointed out in any monthly report submitted by MT. Bruba- ker These reports up-to-date resume of County affairs each thirty days. They are appre- cated by the taxpayers. They are compiled in a manner to show at glance the business of the County from month to month. The taxpayers do not insist that MT. Brubaker be the official coun- tv auditor under the law, for making up the

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed, local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with To- cal treatment, pronounced it incura- ble. Science has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease, and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by k. J. Chenney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful.

 Universal Peace 
WOKE UP AFTER NEGOTIATING
 TWO TREATIES.
NIGHTMARE BY SENATE.
President Addresses Jewish orsaniza-
 ton in ,JoviaI vein-says He Doesn't Seem to Have Been Grand Success.

New York, Jan. 19-PFesideht Taft began his address at the B'Nai BRith celebration tonight with reference te the medal recently presented te him servedly, saying:
 But honofs don't come very often"
 Not Success In Politics.
 From the Jews, Mir. Taft said the American people should profit by their example of love and liberty of guar anty of rights and equality and their intensity of spirit.
 q don't like te drop into politics, ,' he continued. q don't seem to have a grand success. But the American people will have to be educated over again in lessons of liberty and will have to be taught again the real value of the rightsfwe now have and the restraints under which we enjoy them. !"
 Our Country Most Tolerant.
 Something has been said of the in tolerance of other countries" MT. Taft went on. Tolerance does not exist in other countries as in our own, but we must know that tolerance in this country will have it's benef1cent effects all over the world. The atti- tude of the American people on that subject cannot but bring about bet ter condition. I don't need to preach patience to your race. I don't need to preach persistence to you. don't be- lfeve in progress over night"
 Dream of Universal Peace.
 Turning to the topic of progress to- ward world peace, the president said:
 T had dream that we were going to take a long step toward universal peace, but after negotiating a treaty with France, I awoke.' He explained that through treaties between this country and European nations and in terfocking treaties to follow he had hoped a great arbitral court should be established.
 Given Nightmare by Senate.
 That was my dream,'' he said. we negotiated the first two treaties with England and France, and then I woke up. Its bound to come. however, be- cause effort in this direction cannot be defeated. I hope on in spite of this night mare that the senate gave me"
 MT. Taft concluded his address with an eulogy of the Jewish character and Jewish phanthropies which he said were the most nearly perfect because the people of the race stand together that the race may live.

London, Jan. 19-The Porte's decision to call a national assembly on Tuesday to take under advisement the Balkan situation probably heralds further concessions on the part of Turkey concessions which could not be yielded by the cabinet without riSking it's fall. in any case the Balkan delegates in London do not believe that the Porte's reply to the joint note of the powers will be such a fiat refusal as foreshad- owed from Constantinople-
 Next Move by the Allies.
 Yesterdays despatches reported that the Turkish government had reached a decision not to cede Adrianople or the Aegean Islands but was willing to enter negotiations respecting these is lands some distance removed from the Dardanelles. If Turkeys answer is un- satisfactory the allies, in difference O Europe, will ask the powers whether they have means to compel Turkey to comply with their wishes. If not the allies will carry out the plan already announced, leading to the resumption of the war.
 All Concessions will be Void.
 In such event the allies will regard all concessions heretofore made for the sake of peace, either to Turkey or the powers, as void. Thus they would not recognize the undertaking consenting to an autonomous Albania, or the promise of Servia and Montenegro to retire from the Adriatic. Questioned as to the possibility in this case of Austria employing forces, the head of one of the delegations said today:
 Will Abandon No Territory.
 We shall see whether the triple en- tente and especially Russia will permit such action on the part of Austria. If we are forced to fight another war the cost of which is nearly s1.0O0,0OO daily,

OFFICERS IN FIGHT.
Blows Exchanged Aboard One of the
 Turkish Warships.

Constantinople, Jan. 1e.-The gov ernment has ordered the general as- sembly on Tuesday in order to take the Balkan situation under consider ation.
 A serious quarrel occurred recently on one of the Turkish Warships in the Dar- danelles between some of the officers who were anxious to fight the Greeks and others who considered that the Turkish fleet was no match for the Greek feet Blows were exchanged and before the quarrel was settled fifteen officers were wounded.
 The trouble arose through the circu- lation of a manifesto signed The Wo- men of Turkey, suggesting that the forts should sink the Turkish war ships whose poor spirited officers aI- ways fled at the approach of the Greek feet. It was because of this slur that the Hanidieh made its adventurous cruise to Syria.
 Turkish Ministers Oppose War.
 Vienna, Jan. 19.-A despatch from ConstantinopIe says that at the coun- cfl of ministers held Saturday a ma jority opposed continuing the war.

STATES SLOW WITH
 ELECTORAL RETURNS.
Only Fifteen Have Reported by Mes senger-May Lose Their Votes.

Washington, Jan. 19.-In order to comply with the law it will be neces- sary for all sthe states to get their electoral returns to Washington by the beginning of next week. The require ment is that all the returns shall be in the hands of the president of the Sen- ate by Monday, Jan. 2T. and a warning was sent out today from the office of the president of the senate that if the reports were not received by that date the states failing would be in danger of losing their votes.
 Up to the close of business last night only Is states had reported by messen- ger and 35 by mail. Those reporting by messenger are Connecticut, Della ware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia, All others lack only a week Of being delinquent.
 Not only does the law provide that time may be deprived of their votes, but it operates so as to cause messen- gers to lose that mileage pay allowed them for bringing the vote to Wash ington, This is 25 cents per n4i1e one way and is considerable item in eases of men coming from distant states. The imposition of penalties is optional with the presiding officer of the senate and never has been exer- cised, but ordinarily the returns have cofne in more promptly than during the present year.

DRESS AND SHIRTWAIsT
 MAKERS VON TO RETURN.
Agreement Reached Between Manufac-
 turers and Strikers.

New York, Jan. 19.-There was no indication today of any change in front, either on the part of the manu- facturers or the strikers, as the fourth week of the garment makers strike began. The strikers are said to be just as insistent as ever that their union shall be recognized. while Eu- gene $. Benjamin, president of the New York Clothing Trades associa- tions, remains firm against such recog- hilton. Both sides aver that they are well organized and financially strong enough to maintain their positions for some time to come
 Two meetings to ratify the agree
 nent entered into Saturday between the manufacturers mad the leaders of the dress and sairtwaist branch of the garment making industry. by which the strikers are to return to work tomor- row morning, were held today. At both there seemed to be q haIf-hearted ac- duiescence by the workers in the plans of their leaders. The protocol affects 12s shops and close to 3O,00G opera tives. It is expected, however that only about half the latter will return to their machines. The return of all of them would leave more than 100 900 workers still on strike in other branches of the garment trades.
