THE TIPPING SYSTEM.
lAriE0na Renublicanl


A hotel keeper who has become
proprietor by conserving the tips he
received while IN charge OF a hoteI
hatrack has delivered himself Of this
utterance on the subject of tips
Speaking as one Of experience he
says that princely tips are not e..
pected of big men and are seldom
received. BY big men he meant men
q note, or men OF greet wealth Those
most liberal in the matter OF tips are
those who choose that as a form OF
vulgar display.
Sensible men who recognize the
tipping system at an. though unwill
insly have AXed standard Of tips
which they maintain religiously. The
size Of their lips is a sort OF compro-
rise between obedience to custom
and their practice OF paying for all
service what il Is worth.
The patron who besruws a tin M
on railway or hotel employe is new.
CT moved by any sentiment Of charity
Re understands with more or less bit
terness that he is paying to the EN-
lloye wages which his employer ought
II pay him.
IN many cases the supposed en-
ploye is not an employe at al, but
cOncessionaire. He receives no sal
airy. but frequently he pays his sup
Tosed employer for the privilege OF
occupying q position ia which he can
prey upon the public. and as the
ex-tip recipient states. the choicest
victims are found among the vulgar
who often cannot afford the tips they
begtow.

The Prescott Courier thus warns
up over the opportunity OF Arizona to
make an unique display Of its attrac

Although it is a long time before

Speaking OF the character of the Ari-
IONA building. Mr.. Johns stated that
the commission has already given the
matter some thought. and it is their
purpose to make the building unique
and at the same time artistic, and es-
pecially to make it an object lesson
which will impress the visitor with
the wonders of the baby state and its
peculiar features. He stated that Ari-
IONA has three things not possessed in
any great quantity by any other state
-petritied wood, meteoric iron and
asbestos. These will be utilized In the
best manner possible in the adorn.
ment of the Arizona building. not for
getting copper and onyx. Mr.. Johns
suggested that pillars Of petrifed
wood-big logs, in fact-couid be used
as the pillars at the entrance to the
building. while huge blocks OF me-
teoric iron would be the first thing
seen by the visitor as he entered the
gate, the fence being made Of COP.
