Conditions in bridge matters have
.oten a new turn. An attempt to
soc,,re fixed tax levy for the special
benefit of proposed bridges along
the routes of state highways may
rive Kennewick and Pasco a con-
Meeting span across the Columbia,
though the present intention OF the
legislators is far from this purpose.
Senators E. L. French, of Clarke
county, and Wilburn Fairchild, of
Pierce, propose to introduce a bill
rroviding for quarter mill tax levy
(which would raise about $3.50, 900
annually, for the construction or
purchase of bridges needed in con-
nection with the state highway sys-
tenn. The intent of the bill is to
proyide funds for the so-called mil
lion dollar bridge across the Colum-
bia connecting Vancouver and Port
land, without making the session
appropriations look unduly large by
taking the necessary money from
the general fund.
However, as a sop to the rest of
the state, and for the purpose of
winning further support, the French
Fairchild plan is also to care for,
under this levy, h lewiston
Clarkston interstate bridge across
the Snake river, and the interstate
1Newport, Pend Oreille county,
bridge across the Pend Oreille river.
Both of these bridges are compar-
atively inexpensive affairs. The
lewiston Charleston one, now oper-
ated on toll basis, could be Sc
cured for $4,000, of which the
state of Washington would pay only
one-half. The Newport bridge as
proposed would cost even less
money. Therefore the real intent
of the bill is to provide for the Van
ver-Portland structure, which
may cost anywhere from $3.50, 900
to 100000 or even more.
While Senators French and Fair
child are perfectly willing to include
D the small Asotin and Pend Oreille
county bridges under the terms of
their bill, they have no intention
whatever of taking in the Kenne-
wick-Pasco proposition, which would
cost one-third to one-quarter as
much as the Vancouver-Portland
bridge. However, they may be
forced to do 80 if the bill is to pass
Representative B. B. Horrigan, of
Franklin county, is watching for the
bill in the House.
We will either have our bridge
included under the provisions for
levy or kill the BILL" is the way he
puts it.
One unfortunate circumstance is
that while Mr.. Horrigan is on the
house appropriations committee,
which ordinarily would handle the
bridge matter, neither Horrigan nor
Representative H. K. Rowland, of
benton, Is a member of the revenue
and taxation committee, to which
the French-Fairchild bill will prob
'aoly be sent. However, fight on
the floor of the house is promised if
ooiiiCo necessary.
COUNTY DIVISIONS
County division talk is strong and
d number of bills are in. Since no
laKlma county senator or represen-
.atlve would introduce it, Senator
JOSIAH Collins introduced a bill in
>Ale senate Tuesday, making the
new county of Simcoe out of the
south " half of Yakima county, the
ulVlslon coming at Union Gap. The
oii'' however, was introduced by
request and under the rules of the
senate will not be printed. Under
tnese conditions there are small
hopes for its passage.

carved off, will have a bill intro
duced soon.
There is some talk of the intro
duction of bill based on the law in
existence several years ago, to allow
the changing of the Benton Yakima
county line but as yet there is no in
dication that anything definite will
be done.
Senator Chapel has a bill in
creating the county of White Sal
mon from the west end of Klickitat
and another proposal, already in
troduced, is to made new county
in the Puget Sound named Vashon,
of the islands of Vashon and Maury
now a portion of King county.
REINFORCEMENT FIGHT
The reason there is comparatively
little chance for any county division
is that the legislative reapportion-
ment fight has started again. AS
they did last session, the COW
counties" have drawn first blood,
Representative Phil H. Adams, of
Kittitas, signing up 35 members of
the house to block all apportion-
ment before the big counties knew
what was going on. King county
men then started out with a peti-
ton for apportionment strictly ac-
cording to population. Neither
side yet has a majority of the house,
as Spokane, Pierce and other large
counties are staying on the fence,
waiting for some advantageous offer
| in the trade line.
CoMMITTEEsHIPs
Representative Horrigan Jared ex
ceptionally well in committeeships,
not only being an old member, but
also on the winning side, supporting
Speaker Howard D. Taylor through
out his campaign. The committees
on appropriations and roads and
bridges, to both of which he belongs
are among the "big six" appropri-
ations generally being rated as Sec
ond in Importance and roads and
bridges fourth this year.
Representative Rowland has a
rather better craftsmanship than Mr..
Horrigan but is not a member OF
any of the most important commit
tees. Both Senator Wende, repre-
senting Benton, and Scott, Frank
lin, Jared we'll in committeeships.
Following are their assignments in
detail:

.POs1OFF|CE FURNITURE
 IS COMING IN SLOWLY
Col. McCIintock Is Not Too Discour- aged By Rapdity With Which
 Stuff Doesn't Arrive.

Do not be alarmed. because we
 only have one carload of furniture.
 The other and last one ought to be
 here by the end of the month and
 we can move then" The above is
 committed sentence that Col. J. H.
 McClintock, postmaster of the city of
 Phoenix and custodian of the Federal
 building. hands out regularly to his
 friends and enemies alike, who be-
 come anxious as to the time the
 postal department will make it's
 change of quarters.
 One solitary carload arrived in
 Phoenix yesterday. It consisted of
 desks. tables book cases and mirrors,
 and when it was well spread over the
 many offices in the federal building
 there were still slew of bare places. As an example of how the GUS todian's troubles pile up is cited the case of the distributing rack for the parcel post department This is an immense structure with some hun dreds of apartments and when the furniture load was sorted at the post office room yesterday one lone piece was all that was found of the rack, and that piece was not bigger'n an ordinary stand or small table.
 On Monday the elevator went into temporary retirement and some one stuck up a sign saying the machinery | had been closed down by orders of ! the department chief in Washington. l What interest the department chief i in Washington could possibly have in i the running or not running of an 1 elevator in a Phoenix office building, l cen tho said building is the federal 1 cdifce. is beyond comprehension. The i real reason for the shutting of the | elevator door and the disappearance 1 of the boy was for good oWld Saint 1 Pats sake. no less.

ARIZONA PUPILS WILL
 SOON GET FREE BOOKS
Superintendent Higgins Sends Out Blanks for Ordering First Ship
 ment of Free School Supplies.

The first real application of the law passed at the last session oI the Ar;- zona state legislature providing fo; free text books for tha school child ren comes today, when the county superintendents of scuools of the state will send out to the teachers and principals blanks on which the latter are to indicate the school book supplies they think will be needed at the next session of the public schools. Superintendent J. A. Higgins of the Maricopa schools this morning seuds out set of blanks and circulars calling for orders of school books. The blank looks like legal document, but is only a long list of school books from Southworth- Stone Arithmetic. Book l to Carpenters Rhetoric and English Composition. The average cost of thee books is slighty less than two thirds what it would be if the pupil bought the books himself.
 The orders are to be taken in duplicate. The principle of the school fills them all out, keeps one. sends one to the county superintendent and the latter sends the third to the book company from which the sup plies are to be bought. Each pupil gets full supply of books. Orders will be made out with view to a reasonable increase in the attendance for next fall. In this way it is cer- tain that unless an inordinate in crease is manifested in Arizona s school children the next year the principles will be able to supply every one with books.

BIG AND SMALL BUSINESS

There is not one act. good or bad. wrong or right, that is charged to big business, that did not originate with, and does not still exist Tn small business; while big business has one weakness inherent in it's condition which small business has not. and that is notoriety and pub licity. Big business is in the glare of sunlight while the smaller busi- ness is more or less in the shade. Big business is more impersonal as to it's proprietOrship or it's owner shin. or is centered about a few of those prominently connected with It. while it's widespread body of small proprietors or partners-that is. the shareholders have no association with it in the minds of the public, and. as g. rule are indifferent to all that is going on so long as dividends are maintained.-Theo x.
