State, and this year finds him one of
the leaders of the Senior class.
McHenry's inclinations tended to-
ward classical study, with strong
liking for the Law. He realized the
value Of thorough training in theCol-
lege OF Arts and has wisely followed
out that idea before attempting the
more complex problems of the study
of things legal. He will return to
State to complete his course in law.
While here he has led an active
life. Both in the classroom and on
the campus, he has found work to
be done, and he has never neglected
his share. He is active in the Henry
Clay Law Society and valuable adj
junct of this years Annual staff. His
work as a student has been uniform
ly excellent.
IT'S a pleasure to note the ease
and grace with which some students
mingle with their friends, under all
circumstances, In a natural and un-
affected manner. Such is the case
of McHenry Holbrook; lat home" in
any gathering, be it intellectual,
social or what not; an interesting
talker and an attentive listener.
He is a member of the Kappa Sig
ma fraternity and also of the lately
installed Phi Alpha Delta law fra
ternity. II is fortunate for the stu
dents that he is to return o finish
his studies. A man of whom we are
now proud and who will enhance
our pleasure here again, and later
go out as an accomplished represen-
tative OF our University.

Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1914-07-04

That the taxpayers of Graham
county are particularly interested in
the economic administration of the
county has been shown by the fact
that about the time the State Tax
payers association was organized as
a statewide feature, the Good Gov
eminent League of Graham county
was also organized with a large
membership.
Last week representatives Of the
State Taxpayers association met
with the taxpayers of Graham coun-
ty in a mass meeting at Thatcher
and discussed the objects and pur-
poses of the statewide association.
the result being that the Good Gov
eminent League changed its name to
the Graham County Taxpayers as
sociation, and voted. unanimously to
give hearty support to the state as
sociation. incidentally the state as
sociatiOn added something over two
hundred names Of taxpayers in GA
ham county to its membership roll.
A particularly noteworthy feature
Of the meeting held in Thatcher is
the fact that the ladies of the COM
munity asked for special information
rs to the election laws and machin-
cry of the state. In that county
there are several organizations of
women, and as a body they have
taken special interest in knowing just
how to cast their votes. this being
the first election at which the wom-
IN will exercise this privilege Par
ticular interest was manifested in
the machinery of the primaries and

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
OF A. s. HAWKINS
Candidate for Judge of Superior
Court, Maricopa County

A. s. Hawkins is a brother of
Judge VIM. E. Hawkins, who is serv
ing his first term as a judge of the
supreme court of Texas and who is
now on the democratic ticket for re-
election without an opponent. A. S.
Hawkins is otherwise well connected
and has a record Of his own, all Of
which more fully appears from a
quotation from Who's Who in Ari-
zona," as follows:
Mr.. Hawkins was born in Fannin
county, that state (Texas), in 1868
He is the son of Reverend s. j.
Hawkins, deceased, of North Texas,
and Mrs. f. NJ Hawkins, now of
Dallas, Texas, and is a nephew of
eX-GovernOr Alvin Hawkins. of Ten
nessee. His early education was re
ceived in the public schools, and he
afterwards attended Southwestern

ing been admitted to the practice of

GRAHAM COUNTY TAXPAYERS
JOIN STATE ASSOCIATION

the method and manner in which
preference could be shown for can
didates.
A peculiar feature that exists in
Graham county is that at the pres
ent time the county officials are
drawing salaries under the 1912 sal
airy law. The Sturges case recently
decided increases the salary of all
such officers. A number of the
county officials have contemplated
commencing action to recover back
salary. This attitude on the part of
the county officials met with united
opposition among the taxpayers, and
pointed assurance was given to such
officials as contemplated suing for
back salary, that notwithstanding
that such might be recovered, they
would forfeit the confidence of the
people; that the condition of the
county demanded retcenching and
economy, and that the officers had
been fully paid for their services.
The result has been that with one or
two exceptions, all officers who were
disposed to demand back salary have
voluntarily disclaimed any intention
of proceeding. Some of the county
officials were not disposed to insist
upon payment of back salary, and
these have been warmly commended
by the taxpayers.
A gratifying report was made by
Honorable Phil c. Merrill of the
board Of supervisors, showing that
Graham county was entirely out of
debt and that with economy in the
future the county would be in d
splendid shape to take care of it's
affairs

as a place for breeding and training
ton of the aristocrats of the north
and east. and farther, of the entire
world. The success with which the
Arizona horses were trained and
handled, speaks well for such an in
dustry here, and it is likely that in
the future more of the same hardy
game fleetfooted fellows will show
up on international polo fields.
Mr.. Hildebran is the owner of the
Goddard ranch on the Aqua Fria
river, north OF Phoenix. Here some
eight years ago he came to buy polo
ponies for players in England. Ow-
ing to i'll health he was forced to
remain here and has spent some of
his time in training and raising these
polo ponies, trying them out finally
at the Coronado grounds, the nearest
point to Phoenix where polo is
played to any extent.
The experiment has proven a sue
cess and good stock can be raised in
| this section by crossing good mares
with thoroughbred horses, and the
result is generally a horse that is
available for either one of two pur
poses. If the pony is too large for
| a polo pony, he generally is large
enough for a cavalry horse and they
are always in demand.
In this connection the pioneer polo
pony raiser of this section, has got
ten the promise of a few eastern
friends to come to this section next
fall and look over what is here be
fore going to California, where the
| biggest winter polo tournament ever
held will occur Additional polo
clubs are being organized every year
on the coast There have been three
more put in during the past six
months This means an ever in
c:easing market Hildebran will
leave shortly for the coast but ex-
! poets to be back. He will endeaVor
, to interest eastern capital in the en-
terprise of raising these ponies here
on a large scale. Polo pony buyers
have great confidence in his ability
as a trainer and judge of ponies

GASOLINE EXPLDES
AND GIRL IS BURNED
Quick Response of Neehbors Pre-
vents Serious Injury and Posi-
BILE Loss of Life

Prompt action on the part of her
mother and neighbors saved Miss Bes-
sic Cooper of 312 East Van Buren,
street from being seriously burned
by an explosion Of gasoline at her
home last evening.
The young lady was engaged in
cleaning a skirt with gasoline which
in some manner became ignited from
a gas stove close by, and exploded,
burning Miss Cooper about the face
and arms and setting fire to the
house. In response to her cries for
help, her mother succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, and with the
aid of the neighbors, had the fire out
inside of a very short time, with the
result that the services of the fire
department, which responded prompt
" to a call We're not required. Dam
