ROASTS WATER METER SYSTEM.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
notice that you state editOrially
that Tucson is very wasteful compared
to FL Paso in the use Of water. using
much more per person than FL Paso.
and you give as a reason that Fl PasO
is metered and Tucson is not Why
don't you show what the cost per per
son in Tucson is compared with FL
Paso2
Our average rates for residences is
15c per hundred cubic feet which
equals S66-l5 per acre foot for water.
Do you think it would cost $66.15 per
acre foot 10 lift the water TO the level
Of the mesa and keep up the pipes2
If each acre OF land that is served
with water was charged az that rate
YOU would not know what to do with
the money
It looks small to talk about gallons
OF water with the machinery and the
worlds OF water We have at FL Paso
Let's talk about acre feet I consider it
much cheaper TO drown a. man than TO
1act- I would offer prize for the most
raised with least water and that is all
/ would use the meter for
Did il ever occur to our people that IL
costs more to buy meters. keep them
repaired read them and keep the books
than II does 10 pump water2 Besides.
look at the millions Of dollars worth OF
products in the way OF lawns, flowers
and kitchen gardens we could have il
water was charged up against the land
At so much per lot At present cost YOU
could give each lot owner four feet
deep Of water per lot per year for 81
and no one could possibly use that
much without running their gardens
and lawns. and each lot would average
about $40 in products.
Don't you see the rich and poor
would all have an incentive to use
every foot Of space under our water
plant and no one would be IOoser
while all would be gamer. II would
only be the same plan the government
uses TO collect under a $4,000 900 plant
Why can we not use the same plan
when all know we have the water and
can get the machinery and pipes2
mad one meter put in and taken out
last winter that did not cost the city
less than SIS for the time OF the men %
DO the work The meter was in three
months: the city was entitled TO $40
and received that much.
Before you jump onto Tucson's plan.
lets look at our own and see whether il
IS best or not and whether we are not
taxing the people most who are trying
10 beautify the city most.

BARBER FOR COUNTY TREASURER

It is with pleasure that we can offer from McCrory such an es- timable and efficient gentleman for one of the county offices at the coming primary in March as our worthy friend and mayor, c. w. Barber, who will be a con- testant in the race for county treasurer. No man stands high CT in the estimate of our voters than MT. Barber as can be shown by his having led the ticket in all of the town elections in which he was a contestant. He has many friends all over the county who will be strong supporters of his candidacy upon learning that he has entered the race for treas urer. We are authorized to state that his announcement will ap- pear soon in all of the county papers.

will be small, therefore would it be better to grant a school for the few left at home at Jelks and thereby cut off some of the high school work, or, let them arrange to come here, and give to the 397 children of the district the ad- vantages of securing the higher grades. Why should more than three hundred children be handi- capped in an educational way just for the accommodation of about thirty or forty?
 Had we made so many state ments at random as he has done, we would not emphasize tell the truth" so strongly as he has put it when he asks if it is not an attempt to place educational supremacy in the hands or heads of the few against the masses. If we are guilty as charged, then we certainly have plenty of good company as One Hundred and Ninety voters, with many others yet to be approached, in the dis strict have signed a petition re- monstrating against the dividing of the district.
 In another paragraph he says that one part of our reply last week listens" strangely inter esting, viz. $4,7O0.OO expendi- lures, and asks that we publish a financial statement showing vouchers and to whom paid. We are delighted to refer our friend to the County Treasurer's office just as he has referred us to the County Clerks Office for the names on his list. We are sure that by checking the vouch- CTS he can find who has received the above amount and that he will fail to find ANYTHING strange" about the expendi- lures thereof.
 As to his closing paragraph concerning a certain resolution we have personally read the min utes and resolutions of the school board and there is not one word in any of the same relating to a division of the district and as this is the matter under discus sion, we must ask that he refrain from asking us to grant said request.

OUR REPLY

Concerning the first paragraph of MT. Patterson article this week the placing of Miss Mildred's name on the list by the census takers was no doubt a mistake, but was it not possible for the enlmerators to make a small error along this line when more than 700 chil- dren's names were to be looked after. He seems to note very readily our insignificant mistake, but as to his assertions about the $5, 900. % which he claimed the district had to it's credit when, in reality, the County Treasurer S books showed only $1,697. 78 to which S1,718.41 will soon be added, he says nothing. Like wise his statement last week that the court shall" when the law plainly says, MAY" establish districts, etc.
 The gentleman states that he gave us a list of the names and thought we copied it. His mem ory is very weak else he will re- member that after some deliber- ation he merely "handed',' us the list while standing in the street in front of the Fakes Mer- cantile Co. recently one Saturday afternoon and when we took our pencil and note book from our pocket to copy the list he re- marked that he was in a little hurry" We told him we would like to have a copy of the list and also a copy of his petition but as he did not have the time to spare for us to get it then that he could send it to us. He promised to do so, but as we stated last week, for some reason failed.
 He states that out of the num- Der of pupils at Jelks, 17 have already attended the school here this term. If he will omit the names of college students, the married children" children who are compelled to work, and others who would not attend ANY school regardless of it's To- cation, the remaining number

 Ten mail Sacks, 675 pounds, of catalogues of a mail order house in northern city arrived at the McCrory post office last week. The postage amounted to $12.15 and they were shipped by freight to Little Rock and from there were sent out by mail. Our home merchants should take hint. The only representative of a mail order house is printer ink.
 Uncle" John and Aunt" Ida Duncan, contestants in the Phys ical Endurance Test between man and woman, passed through Me- Crory last Friday. He is 57 and was born in North Carolina. His wife is 43 and from Indiana. They were selected from a list of 515 applicants by the American Athletic Association of San Fran cisco. They started out March 1, 1914 to walk a 12,O0O mile tour from San Francisco, Cal. to New Britan, Conn. and return by the Southern route via Key West, Fla. They are to receive $6, GOO. % on the completion of the jour- ney. They must sleep outdoors in June, July and August, and are not allowed to ask for any thing but water. They have two years, or until March 1. 1916 to finish the trip but expect to reach San Francisco Christmas Day. The trip is being made to show the physical endurance of man and woman and also cheap cost of living of American people. Their average daily cost of living is 20 cents each. He is a brick mason, an interesting talker and belongs to the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities.

PATTERSON'S REPLY ON SCHOOL
Wants Know the Truth Asks for Financial Statement
 Strangely Interesting" Reports Have Appeared

Jelks, Arkansas,
 September p, 1915S Editor HOME NEWS,
 McCrory, Arkansas. Dear Sir
 In your last issue we were crit. icised for having placed Olive and Bennett Patterson's names among the school children al Jelks. If you will look at your list made by your census take1 you will find not only these two names, for which you have drawn our money, but Mildred Patter- sons also. which we did not list, as she is already twenty-one years old.
 As to the list of children which we gave you and thought you copied, 1 filed together with all
 
 other papers on the fourth of this month with the County Clerk, that the County Court and all parties concerned would have the full thirty days for irvestiga- tion; however we will gladly give you a list if you will call for it. There are six names to be added to the list of people who have moved into the district since the list was filed.
 Out of the sixty-fve pupils in this proposed district seventeen of them. are all that have been able to make even one days at tendance at McCrory, even with these long days, beautiful weath- CT and good roads. We may pos sibly get five or six of them there later.
 This may be the condition in the southeast part of the district, and in the north east as you claim in your article. If such is the case we are ashamed of 1t; and, if such conditions have, to exist for McCrory to have high school, then she should no longer be proud of one. You might as we'll say that we who live in the rural districts should go bare foot that other. citizens in our district may have money to buy plug hats to match their patent leather shoes. \
 TELL THE TRUTH and say that it is an attempt to place ed ucational supremacy in the hands or in tie heads of the few against the masses, aided by a small commercial spirit against sister community.
 One part of your article lis tens' strangely to all of us, to- wit: FORTY SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS last years expendi- ture. Please publish financial statement showing vouchers and to whom said sum was paid.

NEW YORK, March 15.-As an
index of business conditions in
the United States, this years re-
port Of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company has unusual in

without progress there can be no
prosperity, is the way President Theo-
dore n. Vail sums up the situation.
Telephone business has not suffered
as much as other industries. but the
growth Of the Bell System has been
retarded. Therefore Mr.. Vail goes
back to first causes and in a letter ac-
companying his report gives a search
ing analysis of economic conditions,
which have put two. million people
out of employment.
Furthermore, he points out the re-
lief needed by general business in or
der that the bread line may become
a working line night and morning be-
tween places of employment and
homes. To roughly epitomize his con-
illusions is all that is possible.
Never were the basic conditions OF
the country better than now for a
restoration and continuance Of nor
NAL conditions. The correction is
simple and is pointed out by numer-
Gus precedents of the past and by well
established economic laws. The ex-
tension and improvement of our trans
portation facilities is necessary to
meet the increasing demands Of the
country both as a going and a
