"A MILLION A YEAR"

Every time man wrote a bank
check he would have to lick a stamp
and curse the Democratic party, "
declared Senator Tillman, Democrat,
recently in announcing that he pro-
posed to fight the Presidents sug-
gestion that a stamp on bank checks
be included in the war revenue law.
Il prefer an increased graduated
income tax and whenever man has
an income of a million, | would take
all in excess of that" and added,
a million a year is enough for any
man and the government needs the
money"
We agree entirely with Senator
Tillman. A million year should
be enough money for any man and
we believe every editor of a news
paper in Arizona will be perfectly
satisfied with just that amount. We
know we will.

THREE-CENT FARE COMING

Residents of Arizona interested
in securing a lower rate for passen-
ger fares than those which are op-
erative at the present time, will
doubtless be pleased to know that
the three-cent fare matter is to be
token up again by the Corporation
Commission within the next few
weeks.
This proposition has been before
that body off and on for the past
year or so, but no definite action
has been taken because the commits
sion has so far not been able to Sc
cure from the Arizona Eastern a
schedule of operating expenses, nee
essary for reaching a definite con-
clusion in the case.
However, owing to the fact hat
this road has been very hesitant
about handing in the desired in
formation, the members of the COM
mission are seriously considering
the advisability of going ahead with
the investigation regardless of
whether that line furnishes the in
formation or not.

APPORTION FOREST FUNDS

State Auditor J. C. CalIaghan has
finished the long drawn out task of
apportioning among thirteen counties
OF the State the federal forest re
serve fund, amounting to the neat
sum of $59. .807 80, all of which will
he turned over to county treasurers
This fund is paid to the State by
the United States government and
comes from the sale of timber from
the forest reserves. and also from
the rental of grazing lands. The
money will be applied to the various
county road and school funds.
Standing timber in Arizona federal
reserves cover an area of 20,706
square miles, and the revenue de-
rived annually has proven quite an
aid in maintaining roads and schools.
In looking over the following
table of distribution, it will be noted
that Yuma county does not appear.
This is because that county does not
contain any national forest domain
and consequently does not share in
the funds. The amounts apportioned

SIMS ACQUITTED?

The State Supreme Court decided
that Warden Robert b. Sims, IN
failing to execute William FaItin'
November 26th. had been guilty OF
contempt and had overstepped his
authority as warden Of the State
penitentiary, but as Sims had de-
clared that he did not Intentionally
disobey the mandate of the court,
his disavowal was accepted by the
court, which handed down a decision
Saturday practically purging Sims
of the charge of contempt.
1T is only upon the verdict'of the
Jury to the effect that the person is
insane that the superintendent is
authorized TO suspend the eXecu-
tion," says the opinion. he has
no power to determine the question
of the prisoners sanity or insanity.
His authority for suspending the
execution is an order of the court,
based upon the verdict of the jury"
Warden Sims will be little more
careful in the future when he tries
to override the law. He had very
close shave.

INCOME TAX REVENUE

The personal iocome tax was paid
during the last fiscal year by $751;
515 individuals, who turned into the
government S4l,O46,l62, more by
nearly $l3,000,000 than the total
paid by the 357,59S making returns
the year before, according to the
annual report of the Commissioner
Of Internal revenue.
The greatest increase shown was
in the amounts paid by those sub.
jects to the normal tax, a jump
from about $l2, 5000 in 1914 to
about SIG, ,559, 900 in 1915.
Incomes exceeding $500,000 paid
this year $6,499. 900, compared with
about $3,437 900 last year There
were 81, 754 individuals subject to
the normal tax; 27,448 who re-
ported incomes between $4,000 and
So, 200 and 172, whose returns were
made on basis of incomes of $780,
900 or more.
Under the corporation income
tax, 299, ,445 returns were made, a
decrease of II, Asa from the previous
year, ascribed by the report to vari-
Gus conditions, including disturbed
business conditions incident to the
war in Europe and the trouble in
Mexico. The corporations paid $685.
986,952, or about $6,627, 900 less
than 1914. The report says exami-
nation showed that but few corpora
tions had purposeIy falsified their
returns or sought to evade the tax
Recommendations are made for
changes in the income tax law to
broaden its scope and increase the
revenue expected under it.
Frauds upon the government
through the use of artifcially colored
oleomargarine are said to have
reached the total of $17,692 ,4l0 of
which only $4,611,052 was within
the assessible period. During the
year $751 900 was collected on ac.
count of these frauds, and more is
expected. The total collected from
all sources by the bureau amounted
to about S4l5, ,681 900.

FARM IMPROVEMENT

The size of farm business is not
necessarily measured or limited by
the number of acres in farm. One
of the field men of the Agricultural
Department, engaged in farm-sur'
vey work, reports the case of a
Wisconsin farmer, so situated as to
make it impossible for him to buy
or rent more land, who solved the
problem of small acreage by speed
ing up the 80 acres that he had.
This farmers first move was to
dispose of his scrub COWS and to re-
place them with grades and pure
breds; next. without great expense,
he improved the sanitary condition
of his barns. He established crop
ping system based on corn and al
faIfa, choosing the latter rather
than clover, because on his farm it
produces at least so per cent more
feed per acre than does clover, and
is much more dependable.
Pastures have now entirely dis
appeared from this farm, because
its owner has demonstrated that one
acre of corn and one of alfalfa to-
gether furnish him with more feed
than do five acres of pasture. His
improved, well-fed herd, housed in
a clean, well.lighted, and thoroughly
ventilated barn, is yielding him
more than double the milk he for
merly got from his scrub herd.
Furthermore. the quality of the
milk has improved, and he demands
and gets the price of a first class
article.
The largely increased net income
which this farmer now receives
from the sale of milk and of pure
bred cattle is based on the compare
lively small changes in his type of
farming, which have augmented his
business without entailing any in
crease in the size of his farm.
A comparison of this farm with
other dairy farms recently studied
by the department indicates that
the example of this Wisconsin man
might we'll be followed, in general,
by any dairy farmer who lives where
dairy products are high priced and
who has a low grade herd. provided
he has sufficient knowledge of cattle
to give higb-class dairy cows the
care that they demand.

CLIFTON CITIZENS LEAGUE

The citizens of Clifton have or
ganized the Clifton Citizens League,
the object of the organization being
for mutual protection in general
against riots and disorders. and for
the protection of lives and property
within the corporate limits of the
town of Clifton, and for law en-
forcement.
The need for such an organiza-
ton, clear of all affiliation to either
side in the miners strike. has been
apparent for some time. The fact
that a strike is in progress in town
does not mean that the public in
general should suffer from acts of
lawlessness. by either side in the con-

THE ENGLISH VIEW

The London Press finds itself ex-
asperated over the American note.
None of the London papers denies
that England has seized our shirs
contrary to her own governments
repeated assertions OF neutral rights
on the seas.
The same tone runs through all
the editorial expressions. England
is at war to maintain her empire
and to retain dominion Of the seas.
Therefore, Americans ought gladly
to submit to the destruction of
neutral trade, because that neutral
trade might be of use to England's S
enemies.
The characteristic feature in all
this is the calm assumption that it
is Americas duty to help England
to beat her enemies.
1t never seems to enter the head
of any Engishman, high or low
that we have neither any obligation
nor any right to help England to
beat Germany. any more than we
have to help Germany to beat Eng
land.
Every English newspaper assumes
that we ought to do the very thing
which as a neutral, independent,
sovereign people, we ought not to do.
Resting their arguments upon
this entirely false assumption, the
English newspapers naturally come
to the entirely false conclusion that
we Americans are very ungrateful
in objecting to the destruction of
our commerce.
The astounding thing is that there
are Americans who take the same
unpatriotic and absurd view, and
that some of these Americans hold
public office. Los Angeles Exami

FEDERATION OF RURAL
CHURCHES

A nation wide movement to make
The country church the religious,
social and agricultural center for the
farmer through a federation of
churches in rural communities, was
launched in Columbus, Ohio, De-
cember 8th, at the opening session
of the conference of the commission
on church and country life, which
was being held under the auspices of
the federal council of the Churches
Of Christ in America.
Speakers advocated the laying
aside of sectarian differences in the
formation of such a federation and
agreed that rural churches are too
numerous, country preachers are
underpaid and that their energies
are divided among too many charges.
Governor Frank B. Willis, of
Ohio, and Clifford Pinchot, chairman
of the commission, and DR.. Wash
ington GLADDEN., of Columbus, re-
garded by many as the father of
the movement to bring about inter-
denominatiOnal cooperation, were
among the speakers.

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

When is an Irishman not an Irish
man and does he ever become
thoroughly Americanized?
That is what First Sergeant John
Fox, United States Marine Corps,
after thirty years honorable service
with the colors, would like to know.
Applying recently for position
as watchman at one of the large
factories supplying ammunition to
the Allies, Fox was told that the
fact of his having been born in the
Emerald Isle over half a century
ago, barred him absolutely from
such employment.
Fox's discharges show that he
fought bravely at Guantanamo,
Cuba, in 1898, when a handful of
United States Marines held in check
thousands of Spaniards there, and
established naval base at that
point. but his thirty years of ex-
celent service with Uncle Sans sea
soldiers counted for naught with the
munition makers.
Once an Irishman always an
Irishman and we can't be too care
full in the selection of our guards"
Fox was told.
Fox. who says he is intensely
American and absolutely neutral,
connot get their viewpoint, but isn't
worrying much. for Uncle Sam pays
him $1,000 a month retired pay.

MILES OF SIDE-TRACKS
Canaan Siding Being Extended to the
 Barnes Side-tracks.

A side track fully mile long will be the fruit of the work now being vigorously pushed at this place, just north of the village. A large gang of men are at work ballasting the road. bed for an extension of the present side track on the east side of the Rerk shire division main line from the switch pear the Cnnfield hotel, to con. meet with the Barnes switch north of the Williams woods
 This additional side track is neces. sary to facilitate the passing of the long freight trains which at present consumes much valuable time Ut pass. ing points. It is necessary at present for passenger trains to "saw" by in order to pass the freights, some Of which are seventy cars long and cannot find trackage on the present sidings for their entire length.

 h the period covered by these test 3l per cent. less employees were killed on the New Haven Railroad than in the corresponding six months of 1914. There were twenty.two employees killed in the first six months of 1915. and g in the first six months of 1914.
 No passenger was killed in train ac cident on the New Haven Railroad during the period covered by these tests.
 These signal tests indicate a higl record of efficiency on the part of tho employees of the New Haven Company and such efficiency is always accom-. panied by q decrease in train accidents. The signal tests are made by the Operating Department under every con. ceivable condition, and the record for the first six months of 1915 of go. 75 per cent. perfect shows how thoroughly the employees of the company are liv- ing up to the strict letter of the rules.

He is making ready now to take up his residence in Washington and leave Winsted, his home for many years. We shall be interested in his career and shall watch with devotion each move he makes. for few young congressman ever went out into a seething world of national politics with better wishes Few men ever left a district who can say one thing which he can, and such district, too, on lines of nationality and religion.
