law at Gatesville, he followed this
profession for about twenty three
years at Midland and Abilene, and
throughout West Texas is well known
as an attorney. In 1893 Mr.. Hawkins
was elected to the house of repre-
sentatiVes to represent Midland and
twenty nine other counties and dur
ing the term was author of the law
creating the live stock sanitary com
mission of Texas, which has been
productive of very good results. He
was later district attorney of the
thirty second judicial district. In
1901 he was again elected member of
the house Of representatives, and in
the same year became known as the
author of the school land law, which
opened up the western part of the
state to settlers, thereby furnishing
homes to thousands of families and
adding millions of dollars to the
tax rolls of the state. Mr. Hawkins
political record is a most unique one
in that he has never taken advantage
of a political position to secure a
further grip on public patronage and
has always refused to allow his name
to be used as a candidate to succeed
himself. In 1904 he was elected to
the state senate from the Abilene
district, and was the author of the
law providing for state and county
repositories, which keeps the state
funds in circulation and each year
yields a revenue more than suffi-
Gent to pay the expenses of the
treasury department.

ARIZONA PONY
IN BIG GAMES
"Ribbon," Winner Of State
Fair Relay, Participates
With Honor in Recent In
IRRATIONAL Polo Races on
Long Island

Arizona came to the front in the
international polo games recently
played at Meadowbrook on Long Is
land, in that three of the horses used
in the two now famous games, came
from Arizona and the single horse
from Arizona used by the American
team used to belong to Oscar Ro-
berts. This animal is known as
Ribbon and was used by Roberts
in the relay races at the state fair
the year Roberts won. Ribbon did
his best against his two other Ari-
IONA confreres, but he was out :
matched and SO the great trophy
went back to England
The way Ribbon happened to be a
contestant in the games was this.
Oscar Roberts sold the game little
animal to E. L. Hildebran, a trainer
and horse fancier, who in turn dis
posed of him to Walter Dupee, of
Coronado, who in his turn shipped
him east with a string he placed at
the disposal of the American Polo
association.
In this way Arizona is receiving,

SINKING FUND PLAN LIKED
Features of New Way OF Retir-
ing New York State Bonds.

Municipal bond dealers expressed their
satisfaction yesterday at the solution oi
the h-discussed problem OF the SINK
ing funds held for the retirement OF Ne"
York State bonds. announcement OF the
final agreement upon which question was
made by Governor Glynn late last week.
II has ben "A matter Of common kho"l-
edge that contributions heretofore mace
To the state sinking funds have bcen
larger than was necessary To provide TOT
the retirement of the bonds at maturity
For instance on September 90 lsl3' the
Controller reported cash and Investment
securities held in the sinking fund OF
the per cent canal bonds, Issued uhoer
the laws of 1919. To the amount OF Slo'-
ess $40 -. whereas the total amount OF
bonds OF this issue outstanding on that
date was s21 O00. 600, the earliest OF when
matured in 1856 An even more extreme
example IS shown In the statement tnat
there is over 10000 in the sinking funu
for the redemption of the per cent canal
bonds which were paid of on January
!, 1918.
Under the plan adopted not dollar oil
the securities or cash now in the sinkihs
funds is taken out. but readJustineht -
made of all future sinking fund payments
upon scientific amortization OASIS
whereby each year there will be PAID Ill
TO the various sinking funds pro rata
amount sufficient to retire each issue
of bonds at maturity
Earlier efforts to adjust this SINKING
fund question involved either the actual
withdrawal of cash already In the SINK
ing fund or else an entire suspension OF
sinking fund payments over period OF
years so long as any excess existed
Either of these plans was open to serious
objection on the ground that money once
deposited in the sinking fund became
trust for the benefit only of the bondhold-
ers and could not legally be withdrawn
for any purpose whatsoever

INVENTORS LEAGUE

Infringement.

ITO whom should the public give thanks
for the low cost OF living if not to the

which was discussed partly in the

languages at the first annual dinner last

There were other novelties. For exam
pie. the finding of "A little mud turtle
swimming in turcen of cold consomme
inspired one of the officers OF the league
TO make humorous impromptu speech
in defence of Mr.. Gruber. whose soup
was listed on the menu as fake turtle"
George Whigelt. the president. as toast
master. opened the informal dinner with a
speech of welcome In the interval be-
tween each course the president intro
duced a new speaker. Many of the older
members, who We're somewhat slow at
eating. were interrupted by this method
of the toastmasters. until Mr. Fowler
gave an instance of the value of the in
ventor to the public good By devisng n
practical plan for not permitting speechi-
flying to interfere with a meal With this,
as well as with many OF the inventions OF
the dinner, the members OF the league
were satisfied could not be infringed
upon.
Albert II. Walker was introduced by
the POSTMASTER as the foremost authority
on patent medicines. but the lawyers ad-
dress proved that he has been the cham
pion OF many another no less important
factor in the progress of humanity.

Abuse of Senator Dillingham;
by the Free Press

We truly believe that the method
adopted by the Burlington Free Press in
trying to promote Mr.. Prouty's candida
for the United States Senate is really
helping Senator Dillingham's cause. In
the last nation.l campaign the Free
President Roosevelt that it now assumes
toward Mr. Dillingham;. The result was
that in making the unwarranted - in
many instances savage - attacks upon
Mr.. Roosevelt it materially aided him,
turning many hundreds of votes from ex-
President Taft to Mr.. Roosevelt Today
tae case is exactly the same: instead of
rendering Mr.. Prouty service, the Bur
lington paper is in reality making votes
for Mr.. Dillingham;.
The voters of Vermont will not stand
for tie seemingly malicious attacks of
the Free Press upon Senator Dillingham;.
There are plenty of honorable ways in
which newspaper can oppose candi-
date, but it would seem that this Bur-
IibSbOh ohSOb hdo iOob VI ITO SCusO VI
honor 10 the bitter manner in which it
assails Mr.. Dillingham;.
Hon. William P. Dillingham's stew
ardship OF the interests of the Vermont
voters-all parIies-will stand the most
rigid investigation. He has been true to
every honor that has been given him by
the people. His vote on the important
matters in the Senate has been on the
side of right, and those who know Sena-
Tor Dillingham; best fully appreciate the
and painstaking study he
has given them. His record throughout
has been an honorable one and, we be- |
lieve, one that the rank and file of the |
voters will endorse at the coming No
vember election. Waterbury Record.
