terest which the children have taken than for the
amount of their contributions a larger sum than
was expected will probably be raised in the schools,
but still much more money will be needed. 1t has
been suggested, think the suggestion should
be favorably acted upon that the members of the
chamber of commerce contribute. each five cents
toward the purchase of the picture.
We believe that there is no danger Of a lack
of funds for this purpose. We suppose half
dozen and women could be found who would
willingly make up the whole sum required But
the mere acquiring of the picture is not the main
point; it is the manner in which it be ac-
quired. 1t is the desire of ladies of the art
committee that the proprietary in the pic
ture be widely distributed as possible that the
personal interest in it may be more general and
that it may be sustained to the point where Phoe-
nix shall have an art collection the property of
the city and the gift of any group or organiza
ton
It is in this way that of the well-known
collections have had their beginning and growth
Ell PasO is said have a very creditabe collection
procured in this manner. and the great Chicago col
lection is said to have been developed this way
1t is not now much question money as
a question of arousing Il widespread popular in
terest in a collection and in this work all
should join, that arrangements may be made for
the purchase of the picture before the exhibits
which will be fair next week shall be
removed
Furthermore. if it could be definitely announced
that it was the intention to purchase a nucleus for
art collection, there would be a larger number
of pictures from which the selection might be
made. No doubt the exhibit the fair would be
greatly enlarged Artists of note going to
send pictures there TO be placed competition for
the prizes offered alluring But the pros
pect of sale would be strong incentive.

The Price of Climate,

The climate o southern California is not en-
tirely free. The people who go there to enjoy it
have to pay for it in way another. There
is nothing in this world while that is really
free. Wealthy people who so to California pay at
the hotels or they rent for houses Those who
wealthy have exchange for the
enjoyment and benefit they derive from the climate
The only benefciaries of the climate who seem not
to have come under the rule that every good thing
must somehow be paid for the Weary Willies
who appreciate the climate highly as the million

the winter months. But even they are to be

Important Ruling of High
est Tribunal i'll Brown
Case May Mean All Sub
stitutes For IntoXicant
VIII Be Forbidden

| The supreme court of the state of
Arizona yesterday afternoon dealt b
body blow to the sale OF all alcoholic
connections known under the name of
near beer" etc, when it sustained
| the ruling of the Cochise superior
court in the action of State of Ari-
iona VS.. L. A. Brown. The state
tribunal held that it is illegal under
the present statutes to expose for
sale any of the alcoholic bevera ges
which are manufactured by several
breweries in this and adjoining states,
and which had been sold here since
the state went dry, the manufac-
| turers and dealers having contended
| that since the brew did not contain
very high percentage of alcohol, it
was not amenabIe to the prohibition
laws and that no license, either state
or government, was necessary for its
sale. The court held that inasmuch
as the beverage was made in brew
cries and contained a percentage of
alcohol it should be classed along
with all other intoxicants outlawed
by the prohibition laws lately enacted.
This case had its origin in the city
of Douglas several months ago, when
l.. a bIOWn, VINO formerly heDL d
saloon in that place. was arrested for
selling the beverage known as Bar
cite" made by the Copper City Brew
ing company of Douglas. The Co
chise superior court found that the
defendant was guilty Of violating the
state liquor laws, and Brown carried
the action to the supreme court The
case vas argued several weeks ago,
and the decision was handed down
yesterday afternoon by Judge Ross,
Judges Franklin and Cunningham
concurring.
Brown, who was under a sentence
of a term in the county Jail, to-
Sether with a fine, contended in this
trial that the word beer as used
in the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution, meant an intoxi-
eating liquor, and hence he had not
come into conflict with the statutes

NEAR BEER SALE KNOCKED
OUT BY THE SUPREME COURT

by selling Barette because the latter
brew was not an intoXicant. How
ever, the court held that it was the
intent of the trainers of the law to
include under it's provisions all bev-
erages and liquors brewed under con-
ditions similar to those used in the
manufacture of the commercial arti-
Gle known as beer"
The decision of the supreme court
was quite a lengthy document, con-
tanning twenty pages, and setting out
in the most minute details the exact
grounds upon which the tribunal had
based its decision in this particular
case. Following are excerpts from
the courts ruling:
:. 'Barette,' according to the testi-
mony of the brewmaster, is made
from barley, water and hops and diff
fers principally from higher grades
of matted liquor in that the process
of fermentation is arrested in its
early stages. This is done in order
to keep down the percentage of al
cohol in the so-called "Barette." We
gather from a reading of the books
that it is nothing but what was for
merlv known as small beer" In
fact the brewmaster. in his testimony
being Intercepted by the court as to
how "Barette" was carbonized recog-
nfzed it as a form of beer
1T seems that there can be no
question that the beverage labeled
and sold as "Barette" by the appel
liant is a fermented malt liquor: that
beer is a fermented malt liquor, and
that, therefore. regardless of the
name by which it was known and
sold. the said 'Barette" was in fact
and in truth beer, and regardless of
its inability to intoXicate. is prohibit
ed by the constitution. OF course,
the name by which it was called can
not affect it's kind or quality. 1t is
the stuff of which it is made and
not it's name that gives it place
among the prohibited liquors named
in the constitution"
1t is understood that the above de-
cision will put a stop to the sale of
all of the near beer" liquids known
under such names as "Hopski," Tan
hauser," and all kindred drinks which
are manufactured principally by
brewers in an effort to provide
palatable substitute for beer in ter
ritories where the sale of the genu-
inc article has been outlawed.
