Prosperity and the Pork Barrel

There is every indication that business in all
lines in this country is undergoing improvement.
Every day from eastern financial centers comes word
of the easing of the situation and of a greater
volume of money for legitimate investment A part
of this newly loosened supply has found its way
into Phoenix. There can be doubt that next year
will be prosperous period here and everywhere in
the country and especially in agricultural regions
On the heels of. accompanying this nforma-
ton, we have had disquietng rumors that congress
at the short session. beginning next Monday will
try to put rivers and harbors bill some sort
through. We all like to see things done in antic-
patton of good times but majority of the people
do not to good times anticipated in this
particular way. The rivers and harbors bill appro-
priaons reduced to $2O,OOOoOO in the last ses-
sion in the face of the necessity of adopting war
tax measure at time when this country was not
at war or in prospect of If the immnence of
the tax sufficient prevent the opening of
the pork barrel the actual presence of it ought to
be more than sufficient to prevent the usual waste
of the public funds
There is every prospect that this war tax will
be continued for a long time, no matter how pros
porous the country may become. 1t will be many
months, if years before the exports to this
country will raise anything the cacu-
lated upon by the gentlemen who framed present
tariff law. 1t does matter how good times get,
the governments of money TO meet it's ex-
penses limited and of its funds should be
wasted
The s2000OOOO already appropriated was sup
posed to be sufficient to take of the work
already under way to prevent loss. No more such
work could have since accumulated and there is
no urgent demand for the beginning of work.

Cost Of Municipal Government

Tucson is in the throes of change of govern
ment; rather in turmoil the kind of a change
to be effected. The present administration favors
a modified commission manager form. which is being
opposed the ground mainly, that it is intended
TO perpetuate the present administration which is
democratic. The proponents of the proposed system
therefore, defending the administration. The
Arizona Star supporting the administration prints
comparison between the of the government of
Tucson and that of Phoenix for the month of De-
tober, in which find Phoenix charged with $73558
for the item of mayor and council against $50 for
thesexpense of Tucson for similar item. likewise.
Phoenix is charged with s64l.66 for the city man
ager for the same month We do not know where
the Star has procured these figures since the sal
aries of the mayor and commission exceed
$500 annually, and that of the city manager is
sIf6s6 month. Whether the other figures in the
comparison are more accurate we do not know.
There is in Tucson city auditor. while the salary
of that official in Phoenix is $3.50 a month. The
city clerk of Phoenix receives s176.s0 month. while
the city clerk of Tucson receives 1925 and fees.
Generally, according to the Stars comparison the
operating expenses of the other offices and depart
ments about half much those of the
responding offices and departments of Phoenix.
But under the head of "outlays' little difference is
shown in the comparison.
The Citizen attacks the comparison and says
that analysis of it shows that the of
ing the of TUCSON is but little less than
that of operating the government of Phoenix. though
the value of the property of Tucson for purposes
of taxation is only about half that of Phoenix
The Citizen however falls into error of
statement when it says: "The police department of
Phoenix is VIGOROUSLY costly extravagant They
have been putting wooden policemen the
pers over there to try down the trait
fic policemen. The public is up in against the
costly police system"

WHERE MOTORS COUNT

1t is at last announced that three water
towers in the fire department will be moved by,
tractors to be delivered in ninety days to the dis
placement of nine more fire engine horses
The endeavor in all the world which
the automobile principle should have been first
Piled is that of fire fighting. And it would have
been this task under private enterprise instead
of being municipal activity. Speed is in this work
the prime essential The presence of expert
mechanicians would have been factor in motor
operation The readiness with which the who
operated the vehicle could himself turn on arriv-
ing at the scene, to fire fighting instead of having
to for the heated horses, is another element
to say nothing of those Devices already practicable

the Mann act in transporting Miss
Cope about the country, and finally
establishing her in bungalow in the
Berkshires
Miss Cope. who is half the age of
Alexander, and whose family is said
by federal officials to be prominent
socially in California. is under sur
veillance here. Another indictment
against Alexander is said by United
States District Attorney Cline to
have been voted here and will be re-
turned on Monday 1t was also stat
ed the grand jury would consider
charges of eXtortion against Miss
Cope.
The break between the aged New
Englander and the girl of his poems
occurred about five months ago, ac-
/ cording to the federal officials, when
Miss Cope, sensing u growing cool
/ ness by Alexander. came to Chicago
and told her story to Milton Cla-
I baugh, superintendent of the local
! bureau of investigation of the de-
partment of justice. A grand jury
+ investigation followed.
Colonel Alexander is a member of

inence and family, according to a
statement issued by District Attor =
ney Cline
Colonel Alexander met Miss cope
at social gathering in Los Ange-
les two years ago the statement
said. "He explained after the first
meeting he was man of family and
would procure a divorce and marry
/ her Then he proceeded to make vio-
lent love to Miss Cope.
The evidence of the girl shows
she relied on his promise to marry
her. At his suggestion Miss Cope
met him in Chicago on February r..
1913, and they occupied connecting
rooms at downtown hotel Later they
went to New orleans and from there
to California.
During the time they were travel
ing together Alexander gave her
many costly presents and much
money =
