Resolved, That for the purpose of
securing the money needed to purchase
said plot, to erect said schoolhouse and
purchase said furniture and equipment,
the Board Of Education be authorized
to appropriate the sum of $50, 500 and
borrow said sum by the issue of bonds
to be paid III thirty years, and that the
bonds shall be in denominations of $50,
$ICC and $500.
Resolved, That bonds to the amount
of $1,000 SO issued shall be payable in
one year, the date of issue TO be either
January Is or July 10, with interest
thereon payable semi-anEually on Jan
uary Is and July 18th; and bonds to
the amount of $500 shall be payable
each year thereafter for tWenty-nine
years and bonds to the amount of $500
shall be payable in thirty years from
the date of issue.
There are thousands of dollars de.
posted in banks at 3 per cent. interest,
or no interest. The persons with $50,
500 or $500 could then buy a school
bond. If the bonds have interest cou-
pons thereon at 4 ger cent. a $50 bond
would have a coupon calling for ST. pay
able every six months. At 5 per cent.
the bond would have SIPS coupon.
Such bonds would appeal TO the small
investors and make them feel patriotic
and interested in municipal affairs, be-
cause while paying taxes to pay off the
bonds and interest they are at the same
time giving themselves a safe invest
/! ment for their small savings and pay
ing the taxes to themselves and not to
a big foreign financial corporation.
Such bonds can be disposed of by
citizens n 10 another and pass in the
nature of money bearing interest. If
a temporary loan is needed most banks
will he glad to take such bonds as Sc
curitIes. Now banks are allowed
to deposit such bonds with the U. S.
Comptroller and get bank notes for less
than l per cent. to loan al 6 per cent.
When the people get wiser than they
are now, they will elect men TO Con
gress who will make laws more for
their benefit. Then wheI, any state or
municipality needs to erect a school,
house or build a highway that state,
county or municipality will be allowed
to deposit these bonds themselves with
out the intermsdiation of banking cor
porations. They will pay L per cent.
ON the bonds and be require to retire
five per cent. of tie bonds each year.
In % years the bonds will be all paid.
Under u present system in 20 years
at 5 per cent. the amount Of tie bonds
is paid in interest and the bonds still
owed, unless a part of the bondage is
raised by taxation.
/ Can any fnancier tell why an issue
of bonds would not be better for the
people and why it would not be wise
for The government to issue legal ten
der treasury notes directly to munich
palities to be redeemed in taxes each
year, when "a municipal enterprise is
needed for the advancement of educa-
ton, physical culture and the training
of good citizens?

Our Departing Guests

Il is with regret that view the departure of the stochmen. They have given us delightful week We wish that Phoenix could be the permanent loca- tion of the conventions of the American National Live Stock Association.
 . The stockmen. from whatever part of the couu- try they may come are a wholc-souIcd lot. They are all very much alike There are none of the pro 7iucial differences which distinguish men of the business profession in different parts of the country. The catteman from along Wind river might be mistaken for the cattlcman from tho Brazos. Nor distinguish him of Nebraska from him of southern California There is no per ceptiblc difference between the Chicago cattIcnau and the sulphur Springs Valley delegate They are all cattlemcn. Enough said
 But will say this more: There is something in the broad cNpanse of which the cat ueman looks that makes him broad and liberal. There is something the of his business that makes him sclf-reliont and outrageous
 His admirable qualities have been displayed by the delegates in all the sessions of the convention of the national association just closed in the hotel lobbies and on the street. The work the conven- tion. and there d it. was pushed through with yigor and with systematic precision The dele gates knew what they wanted and they went after it with characteristic directness
 There was an entire absence of inharmony in pleasing contrast the pickering in most conven- tions of similar character but where there are loo many to be ground The cattemen adopted the motto of the Three NIuskeeers. "one for all and all for one" Their interests were all identical and they quick to recognize that most important fact.
 Again. We are sorry that the convention is over and that the stoclmen are going away We hope that they may come back often and stay long; they may come officially and in groups, or as ndi- riduals and privately. They will always be welcome Phoenix.
 We are sure that the delegates to the conven- ton carry away with them d pleasing impression of this city The citizens have exhibited a splendid spirit of cooperation in the reception enter tainment Of the visitors whom nothing has been loo good At an earlier period in the city's history perhaps this public spirit was less pronounced but The times have changed and the temper of our zens has changed with them.
 What they have done within the week will spread wide the fame Of Phoenix as a hospftabIe and pro srcssive town

Fl Paso & Southwestern Plans

What a railroad is going do until, least, the work has been begun is generally past finding out. Not ago several of the newspapers this that the Fl Paso X Southwestern Railroad company negotiating for the purchase of the Spreckels road That hailed by good for Phoenix, for it assumed that it had been the intention to extend the Spreckels this city, it would be here that connection would be with the Fl Paso X Southwestern
 The other day MT. T. NJ Schumacher of New York president and traffic director of Paso & Southwestern at Los Angeles where he was interviewed regarding the rumored negotiations for the purchase of the Sprecke1s road. He denied that there had been any negotiations Tucson, he said, the end of the road and the company d present had plans for it's extension westward. He added Positively have intention of building acquiring a line to San Diego"
 This is not bad Jews for Phoenix, for it ind- cates that the Fl Paso X Southwestern has abandoned what is quite generally knows have been the purpose of Phelps, Dodge X Co, when the road extended towards Tucson of pushing Port Lobos which, by the way, not then recently considered project
 is also known that when the road was built u Douglas there in contemplation the extension line sometime the Salt River valley for the procuring of agricultural supplies the southern mining camps the tapping intervening mineral regions, and perhaps, for participating in the grow ing traffic of this valley though all the railroad

Whereupon d Lusk of Montana and Mrs Wheeler of Ne- vada appeared upon the scene by attorney. ani obtained injunction pending the consideration of their complaint have the whole work of the people undonc and rebuked.

 When the case came trial it discovered that MT. Lusl and Mrs. Wheeler water com pany stockholders been solicited by telegraph lawyer had been hired by the water company and bonds if issued, would have increased their taxes in the large of five and ten cents
