If Governor Holcomb will advise the Legislature to turn back to Fair field county all cf the revenue that it contributes to the state treasury, the county would gladly assume all such burdens and ask nothing what ever from the state. On its face the message appears in some ways help fully suggestive. In it's practical work ingS, however, it involves a policy un- fair to Fairfield county and not re- quired by the best interests of the state. We trust that the members of the General Assembly will accord to the Governors message calm and care full consideration and that they will not be influenced by any local pre- iudices. The Governor means well i'll his message and is sincere in his pur- pose to better the financial condition of the state. In the means he sug- sests we believe him to be thoroughly mista staken.-Bridgepor Standard.

In all the cities in the United States having a. population of S0,G00 or more, the whole value of the school buildings and land is more than twice the value of outstanding school bonds and in debtedness, whereas in the case of the police and fire department buildings and land, the outstanding bonds eX- ceed the value of the land. structure and equipment. Judging by these fig buildings in cities are financed by means other than bonding and Bridge ports issuance Of nearly a million of school bonds within the past few years will bring the citys bonded indebted ness for schools well up to the aver age. Our fiscal policy of pay as you go''. for school buildings to keep up with the city's growth, is all right. and when one considers the interest on bends. is by all odds the most econom- icaI policy Bridgeport Telegram.

Vast Contrast Between U. s. Maga- zine Rifle and 22Caliber
 Gallery Weapon

Civilian rifle clubs are lately re- ceiving much attention. They have developed a number of men who are excellent shots with 22-caliber rifles, indoors. at a distance of fifty to seVentN-fiVe feet.
 Comparatively few. however, are able to handle the modern high powered 3O-caliber United States magazine rifle and hit a target one thousand yards away. Moreover, even were all our men good shots it must be remembered that shooting is merely one of the important parts of a soldiers training, and that it is q very small part.
 The soldier who can do nothing but shoot has about the same rela- tive value as a polo player who can sit on a fence and wield a mallet skillfully. but who can't ride a horse. Capt. Richard Stockton, Jr., in Col Hers Weekly.

NEW LAND DEPARTM MENT HANGS UP RECORD FOR
 SPEED IN SELECTING
135,000 Acres Selected and Filed Since Work Was Begun Early in July
 Making Total of 800,000

With the filing in the United States land office yesterday of land selections amounting to 12,00O acres, the total se lections made by the state land de- partment since July 1, when the new code became effective reached a total of more than 135. 900 acres.
 The selection of this amount of land in a little over month and a half is considered a record in the examination and filing on land by the state, espec- ialy in view of the vast amount of other work that had to be done with the opening of the new departmen ent. and that much of the work was in the hands of the new force. Most of the land selected lies in Cochise county. although there are several thousand acres in Yavapai county. and the 200O acres at Fort Grant, Graham county, are included in the selections made to date
 The total selections made by the old land commission and State Land Com missioner Moeur are approximately 500. .O0O acres. There yet remain about 1,550, 900 acres to be selected and it is expected that these will be taken up by the department at the rate of 100,- 900 acres per month.

WHISKY SHIPMENTS
 CAUGHT BY SHERIFF
Case of Liquor and Japanese Landed
 Last Night

good deal of whisky may be coming into Arizona under the mask of other commodities but good deal of it is intercepted. The sheriff $ office is taking in about one case Q day. They are consigned to resi- dents of the city or the valley who say that they know nothing about the shipments; they have ordered no whisky and they cannot imagine how any stranger on the coast could have come to send any to them.
 It is a pretty serious business for the person who sends liquor in this way. He is brought directly to the attention of the federal authorities for this is a violation of the inter- state commerce act.
 Another case of liquor was brought to the sheriffs office last night along with Japanese T. Kadomato. The whisky, marked Groceries" was re- ceived at Glendale yesterday after noon and was noticed by Deputy Sheriff Rudd. He only suspected that the case was not what it seemed and called the attention of the agent to it. An investigation was made and the contents were found to be Ken lucky whisky. A telephone message was sent to the office of the sheriff whence instructions were issued to bring the case and the man to whom it was consigned.
 In a. little while the Japanese called for the box and when he found what the consequences of receiving it would he, said that he knew nothing about it. He had ordered no liquor and he could only surmise that some admir- ing friend in Los Angeles had sent it to him. He was taken into custody and his house was searched. Empty bottles bearing the same kind of label were found
 A delegation of Japanese called at the sheriffs office last night and asked for an explanation of the ar rest of their countryman. They were told that the same thing had hap pened to him that has happened to white men who had tried to bring liGuor into the state. And when it cOmes,' said the sheriff, they say they no savvy. The white men no savvy; the Jap no savvy."
 Everybody no savvy." added one of the Japanese gravely

It had been their first separation and during one week the young husband had sent his dear little wife ten letters, fifteen picture postcards and four tele- grams.

TEMPE WOMEN PLAN
 TO AID SICK AND POOR
Church Benevolent Society Organized by Representative Committees
 From Tempe Churches

With the idea in view of lending whatever aid possible in the cases of sickness and poverty where outside help is needed the Church Benevolent Society was organized by twenty-five women of Tempe at a meeting Mon day evening. The distressing case of Mrs. G. H. Wykle who has been i'll for long while and who has been very poorly cared for prompted the move ment. It was primarily intended to on ly give aid in her particular case, buS the need of such a society in Tempe has been so apparent, at times in the past, that it's permanent organization was carried through.
 Mrs. Wykle lives with her family of small children and husband in a little shack on west Fifth street. She has been ill for a number of years, this summer more so than ever, and the fact that she has been required to lie all day in bed in the bare shack wherT the heat at times almost Overbearing, was so strikingly inhuman that friends have taken the matter of her relief up in the hopes of providing some better care for the invalid. It is probable that a screen sleeping room will be erected IitdI lllt IOlIit anu OlIlCi eiNNOiiihiONh tions provided where she may at the least rest in some comfort.
 The Church Benevolent Society or ganized Monday evening. At a second meeting last evening completed plans for it's future work. The case of Mrs Wylle will be given attention at once, and as other cases come to the atten- tion Of the authorities the society will

WELLS FARGO REPORT
 OF ARIZONA BUSINESS

The report of the Wells Fargo Ex- press company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, was filed yes terday with the state tax commission. The report shows gross receipts amounting to $S4,96.94, as compared with over $100,000 for the preceding year.
 These figures represent the amount received by the express ocompany after paying the railroad companies their percentage of charges. The de- crease of over $15,000 in revenue is attributed to the falling off in the money order business at the copper camps during the first half of the year.
