"Under Section 8, Article 9
of the constitution of Arizona,
as ammended at the general
election of 1912, the Board of
Supervisors are limited in the
amount. of indebtedness which
any county can incur to maxi
mum of A per cent without the

the maximum Indebtedness may

Of 1912 provides how the indebt-

A puzzling problem of abnor-
mality in a girl who insisted on
doing everything backward,
among other things writing from
right to left, has been solved by
Birmingham, England, physi-

heart is on the right side and
some of her other organs, in
cluding the brain, are also dis

interest in that of the boy who
saw things upside down and
wrote in that fashion. The lat

County Has Right
To Issue Bonds

Any county has the right to
issue bonds not exceeding ten
per cent of it's assessed valuation.
Such is the opinion of the At
torney General George Purdy
Billiard, rendered at the request
of the supervisors of Yavapai
county after Judge Daniel E..
Parks, a Prescott attorney, had
claimed that it is impossible for
the state of Arizona or any of it's
counties to issue legal bonds.
In Yavapai a courthouse bond
issue is shortly to be submitted
to the voters. Maricopa county
is interested because of the pro-
posed road bond issue.

Motor vehicle licenses amount

The total number of licenses
issued is 1858. The number of
automobiles over 40-horse power

A GREAT TRUST VICTORY

The greatest victory ever at
tanned by any administration in
the fight for regulation of trusts
is in the agreement by the Bell
Telephone company to reli1quish
it's stockholdings in the Western
Union Telegraph company and
to permit long distance messages
by independent telephone COM
panies over it's lines.
The combination of the Bell
Telephone and the Western I'm
ion made one of the most gigan-
tic monopolies known to history.
Aside from night and day letter
messages, the combination had
done nothing toward reducing
cost of service. Also, it had
failed to give better service to
the public or to pay higher wages
to employees.
The concessions made by the
Bell company were more than
the administration hoped for or
otherwise could have secured,
except at the end of a long law
suit. Doubtless the great con-
sideration with the Bell company
was the proposition of Postmas-
ter General Burleson to bring
about government ownership of
the telegraph and telephone
lines.
The position of Mr.. Burleson
was meeting with favor through
out the country and within a
year or two, at most, the COM
panies would have been face to
face with the necessity of selling
out to the government as a COM
petitor. The government would
have paid no more than enough
to cover the cost of installing
new lines, probably about one
fourth as much as the Bell COM
pany now is capitalized for. 1t
was cheaper to dissolve the trust,
and it will be cheaper to reduce
charges, and thereby postpone
the menace of government own.

on the sun for it's heat and light,
although the earth now contains
some heat itself. When the sun
eventually cools off the result
will be darkness and cold, which
will bring an end to all life, an

we don't care if this world never

Last Chapter of
RancherS' Trust Co.

Further particulars Of the set
tlement of the tangled affairs of
the Ranchers' Trust company
were obtained from Mr.. Fred. Col
ter, the prominent cattleman of
Springerville, Apache county;
who is in Phoenix a few days on
business, says the Arizona Demo-
crat.
The signers of notes given the
agents of the Ranchers' Trust
have settled for twelve and a half
per cent. This is much better
than they hoped to do. When a
receiver was appointed for the
company no one expected to es-
cape for less than twenty or thir-
ty per cent.
The receiver, a citizen of Hol-
brook named Mathews, has been
discharged. 1t is believed that
the last chapter in the history of
the Ranchers' Trust company has
been written.
]. A. Matkins, the principal
promoter of the company, disap-
peared when the corporation COM
mission learned that the Ranch
ers' Trusts stock was being sold
to the stockmen and sheep grow
crs of northern Arizona without
a permit. Matkins recently re-
turned, however, and it was due
to his efforts that the compromise
was arranged.
Now Matkins is promoting an
even bigger company in Utah,
Wyoming and Montana. It is to
be capitalized at a million dollars
and Matkins claims to have the
backing of some of the most
influential men in the state men
toned. The governors, he says,
are behind him, as is Senator
Reed Smoot, of Utah.
There is just one important diff
ference between Matkins' new
company and the Ranchers' Trust
That is that only twenty per cent
of the proceeds of stock sales is
to be devoted to the costs of pro-
motion. Twenty-Five per cent of
the cash paid for shares in the
in the Ranchers' Trust company
was to be applied to the promo
tion fund.
Matkins is supremely confident
according to Golfer, that his new
company will be an immense sue
cess. He has made the assertion
that he will sell $500, 900 worth of
stock in Arizona. First, of course
he must obtain the permission of
the corporation commission.

THE CHAIN OF LIFE

The chain of life.
It's links are joined,
By the designer of mankind:
Riveted tight by the Golden Rule.
It's links are one eternal round
Given by Him who seals it's links at
will;
1t reaches down from heavens
gate,
To earth it finds its way.
Earth. too, must do its part,
The rain, the wind, the chilling
blast,
Each must its part perform;
The child to manhood grows.
The chain cankers, begins to rust,
1t weakens, breaks, a part remains
on earth;
The other part claims no kin to the
dust,
1t takes it's flight, it scars aloff.
v !.
Life's chain is broken for time,
But we hear voice, calm but clear,
Your chain is only broken,
To be welded for eternity.

Mr.. Bryan's Double Aim.

qua Issue. He does not think the gov

made for recreation. Mr. Bryan. he
thinks, is entitlqf to spend his vaca-
ton time as best suits him.
This is a generous judgment. passed
by one Chautauqua star on another. Mr..
La Toilette is a favorite on the lecture
platform himself. and would doubtless
in 4 lul in Senate business feel at
liberty to I'LL an engagement near enough
TO Washington TO enable him to return
10 town and vote in an emergency 1t
is a time when all Chautauqua should
stand together
There is a point in this case which
Mr.. Bryan could not with good taste
present but for which, ii properly in
terpreted. he should receive credit. Did
he not have the administration as much
in mind as his private purse when he
made his latest lecture dates? Did he
not desire and plan to help his chief as
much as himself oy keeping in touch with
Chautauqua audiences?
Who has proved so conspicuously as
M. Bryan the political value of Chau-
tauqua activity? He owes everything
TO It, When he left Congress. had he re-
turned to the practice Of law, or turning
as he did TO journalism have confined
himself to writing. he would never have
reached great political proportions

The privilege to insert should by vote
of both houses be subjected to
stricter scrutiny 1t would be well to
have all such requests pass before the
printing committee of each house be-
fore being granted, and those committees
should make sure that the matters
admitted to the columns of the RECORD
are pertinent and proper. 1t is an often
abused practice to secure ADMISSION

proceedings in order that they may be
republished as public documents ana

a writing as in sense official.
The fact that it is printed by the

Mexico and 1916.

The story about AIr. Roosevelt and

ice in Mexico is in line with some cur
rent gossip in political circles. Men OF
speculative turn are already canvass
ing the subject of what may happen in
our politics il war with Mexico should
come Might not new presidential
quantity develop and be put forward
for honors in 1916? successful fight
err has often looked good TO poll
ticians in search of candidate.
Admiral Dewey was the hero in uni
form of the war with Spain, and prom
inent democratic leadership. Whitney
in the forefront-cast a longing eye
on him for 1900. They saw in him
the man to do the business for Mr..
Mckinley.
But the scheme failed. Admiral
Dewey did not respond to the over
lures, and. besides. as it soon ap-
peared, Mr. Mckinley had himself
emerged from the struggle with great
prestige. He had conducted the war
with spirit, and it's speedy termination
was feather in his cap. A second
term in the White House was his due.
and was inevitable. That fact account
y
Of the democracy that year.
Sixty odd years ago our war with
Mexico produced q successful presi-
Dental figure. In Gen. Taylor the
wings found the right man; and had
he lived he might have given the
country a good administration and
been reelected, thus postponing at
least the demise of the wing party,
which under the candidacy of Scott i'll
1852 began tottering to it's fall.
War with Mexico now would be a
gamble in it's relation to future poll
tics. We should go in under the lead
prompt success, and the country ap-
plauded-as of course it would-he
would become an unbeatable man for
1916.
On the other hand, if the war
dragged; if the job developed unex-
pected difficulties, and turbulent peo-
pie skilled in guerrilla tactics and
favored by a country suited to the ex-
ercise of such tactics showed great
obstinacy and staying powers, i'm
patience might set UP and make Mr..
Wilson unpopular. Mr.. Lincoln came
perilously near to losing his second
nomination because Of the slow prog
Tess of the war for the Union.
But all this is gossip, and midsum-
mer gossip at that. AS yet we are on
our side of the line and the Mexicans
on theirs, and the resources Of states
manship and diplomacy should be able
10 preserve that status.
