ASSAY OUTFIT
 AT MINE MEET
University Will Set Up a Complete Testing Lab. During Session of Ameri- can Mining Congress Here in December

"A complete assay laboratory, with all it's attachments and working every day in the week, will be one of the features of the mining congress next December, said Assistant Secretary E. l.. Walcott yesterday after his return from big boost trip to San Francis co. "The University of Arizona, with the assistance of a California manu featuring concern will establish and keep running a sample assay outfit, for the enlightenment of the hundreds of mining men who will be here at the congress. This is one of the best things I discovered on my trip, except the general interest in the coast states
 'I saw and talked to hundreds of big ton, and they all expressed interest in the congress. There will be a good attendance from the coast"
 Chairman E. A Marshall of the house committee of the board of trade re- ported progress on the mine exhibit, which is to be one of the attractions at the congress- There will be large gathering of typical ores from every section of the state. After the congress is over, the board of trade will keep the exhibit as new and valuable part of it's magnificent collection of Arizona products.

The Semi Annual Payment of Taxes

Among the initiative bills which the people vote at the forthcoming election is provd- ing for the semi-annual payment of taxes. Only objection far as we have heard has been raised against this bill but that in the circumstances is a serious and might have been easily obviated in the preparation the bill That probably would have been done if the objection had been foreseen. If the bill should become law have no doubt that legislature would meet this objection by the enactment of the necessary emergency legislation
 The bill provides that one-half the taxes he paid later than December and the other half not later than the following June. It is pointed out that great proportion of the taxes go the sup port of the schools which exist from hand to The schools share of half the taxes, paid De- cember, would not the needs of the schools. They would be compelled borrow enough to sus- tain them until the semi-annual payment of taxes, and the schools share of that would be de- voted to paying the indebtedness of the previous half year. Thus the schools the end of every half year period would be six months in arrears
 If the bill had been made provide that the first semi-annual payment should be made in June six months before the time of payment of the whole amount under the present system, the schools would be unaffected since all the money needed for their support would be available at the usual time.
 The general advantages of a semi-annual system of payments are obvious. The average citizen would find it much easier make his payments at two different times. than all at one time. The revenues from most of the industries of this state sea sonal and the fall in advance of the month of June. Sheep and wool sold early in the year. Most of the agricultural products ready for the market before June. Only d few crops are not available until later. The proceeds of the cotton crop, for the most part, would be available until some time after December. SC that anyway they could only be applied to the payment of taxes the following June.
 Another advantage of the semi-annual payment would be the keeping of half great amount of the taxes, say, $1S00O0O in circulation rather than locked up in the Repositories of state and county treasuries. Still another effect would be to thwart human tendency to unthrft Many taxpayers spend the money which they have the mid year because they happen to have it. and with consider able effort they raise the uil amount of their taxes in December-or else fail to raise it and go on the delinquent list.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE
 FOR NON-PART|sAN PLACE
Mr. Walter Bennett, as Judge of the
 Supreme Court

In all probability MT Walter Ben nett will be one of the judges of the next supreme court. It will not be an office of the seeking of Mir. Bennett, who has never aspired to any office, though he once accepted the mayOralty of Phoenix, but the nomination was placed upon him as recognition of his fitness for it. MT. Bennett has been a resident of Phoenix for almost generation and in all that time he has stood in the front rank of the territorial and the state bar. There is not a lawyer in Arizona who has attained greater success and there is none who hes more clearly earned it.
 MT. Bennett has always been a republican and is one yet, but he las never been a partisan. He has always stood for what is best ih politics as he has always stood fOr what was best and clean in public and private life.
 It is well that the office for which Mir. Bennett has been nominated is non-partisan office for the way is left open for voters of all parties to express their recognition of him both as a lawyer and a man.

ROBBED OF MONEY HE STOLE HE SEEKS AID
 PROMPTLY ARRESTED
Mexican Complains to Sheriff and is Himself Arrested, Arraigned and
 Jailed Inside Fifteen Minutes

Robbed himself of his illgotten wealth and arrested while laying com plaint against the other man, was the lot of Jose Morales in the sheriffs of flee yesterday afternoon.
 While listening to the mans story of how he was robbed of his valse, con taining goods and money to the value of s90, and taking notes of the descrip- tion of the thief, Sheriff Jeff Adams called in Constable Jim Murphy to take the case in hand.
 Going to Mexico, were you?" asked Murphy. Taking stock of the man in one glance, the constable produced d warrant for one Jose Morales. At sound of the name the man colored un- der his tan and broke out into a cold sweat. Pulling off the hat Murphy sat isfied himself that here was his man, and the Mexican was promptly arrest ed. In his pockets was money in bills and silver to the amount of s66.25. A moment later Morales had confessed to having taken s25 from his partner that morning. He had no intent to steal the money, he averred, but had taken it for safe keeping.
 Without wasting more time Morales was taken before Judge Johnstone and arraigned; trial was set for this after noon at 2:30, and the Mexican was be- hind the bars in the county jail, inside of quarter of an hour.

Why Vote for George U. Young

The vote of Arizona for governor will be natur- ally divided into three parts. Governor Hunt, be- side commanding the support of small but we'll creased machine we'll the support of the demo- crats of a past age. who have not Vet learned that the political we'll as the terrestrial world do move" will have the support of an extremely radical element, to which he has catered throughout his administration No suggestion from this element has been wild to meet with the governors disapproval
 MT. Cameron the republican candidate, will have the support of the extreme, reactionary element of his party and the machine, the old parts of which have been put together again
 Mir. Young, who stands between the extreme unreasoning radicalism of Governor Hunt and the mmovable standpatism of Mir Cameron, will have the support of all avowed progressives and that of honest business and citizens who favors, but only equal chance and fair play.
 These three elements constitute the nuclei of the strength of all the candidates No one of them is sufficient to give its candidate plurality of all the votes that will be November B. for there will be great silent, independent which will go to the candidate who promises the best govern ment That is the vee that will decide the election.
 We believe that this vote will be attracted to the middle position of Mr. Young, who enjoys the confidence alike of business men and producers, the workers in the shops, the fields and the mines or the three candidates he is the only one who has manifested courage, and courage begets confidence. Mir. Young moreover. stands a definite platform which tells voters what they may expect in the of a progressive victory The other two candidates have been provided with platforms which are in- tended to conceal their purposes.
 There is still another element which, divided within itself will probably not cut much figure in the election It is the wet" vote; that s the active wet vote part of which will go to MT. Young but will be divided between Governor Hunt and Mr Cameron probably pretty well along party lines.
 We have, thus, the extreme radicals both party machines. the standpat element and the active wet" element certainly, against the progressive candi- date. But do not believe that all these elements taken together make up nearly half the of Ari- We believe that there are more clean minded intelligent and honest and in this state than there voters who not clean minded, intelligent and honest It is this belief that we base expectation of the election of MT.

It intended to restrict all future of Arizona to such of their power the constitution in- tended should be exercised and to restrain them using it sentimental, selfish absurd pretexts. The act passed by the legislature represented not only the overwhelming sentiment of that body but, undoubtedly, overwhelming sentiment of all the citizens of Arizona.

 From Williams. where the tax levy has also been attacked by the Santa Fe as excessive, the town clerk, w. C. Rittenhouse writes the 'commls- sion to the effect that the taxes i'm posed this year are not more than the ten per cent increase allowed by law. The matter of the Williams levy is now being investigated by the commission.
 According to the complaint of the railroad company filed with the tax commission, the Williams board over levied to the extent of $901.
 At Flagstaff, where the Santa Fe is also a heavy taxpayer. the amount added to the sum to be realized from taxation is reported by the city officials as just the increase allowed by the revised statutes of Arizona. The levy here, however, hasn't yet been adopted.

Vote "Yes" on Th,s Bill

There is one measure which the people will vote November that has not been given much attention, or, at least much publicity so far in the campaign It is An Act to Establish Penal Code Title -, Pardons and Paroles" It appears 42 of the pamphlet sent out to voters contain ing the measures to be submitted to the people, and bears No. 300. It is of the referred bills It was enacted by the legislature in May, 1913; vetoed by Governor Hunt, and May 16 passed his veto by both houses.
 The enacted under the authority of Section B. Article " of the constitution providing for the restriction of the governors power of re- prieve, communication and pardon, granted by the same section to the upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as may be provided by law"
 The act leaves with the governor the power to grant a repreve in any case where the sentence of death has been imposed, but he must cause to be conspicuously published in the county where the conviction was had, a statement setting forth his reasons for granting the reprieve. No further re- prieve can be granted by the governor except upon the recommendation of board of paroles and par dons which shall pass upon all applications for re- prieves, communications paroles and pardons. This board shall be independent of the governor and shall consist of the attorney general and the intenden of public instruction, and these two shall appoint third member who shall be known the citizen member of the board The governor may act independently of the board in granting paroles and pardons in only two when there is imminent danger of the death of the convict and when the term of the convict is within ten days of eypira- ton.

Love bravely marched through the

most comfortable chair to be found
and dreamed there contentedly until
he grew-hungry. Making sure no one
was watching him, he sneaked into
the kitchen and looked around for
something to eat. Love is continually
growing hungry. In the cupboard he
found part Of a loaf Of dry bread,
which he irritably pushed aside, and
bone with a small piece Of meat ad-
herring to it, which he gobbled. Hav'
ing whetted his appetite, he tiptoed
