Our Mayor

The Republican and other well regulated
newspaper takes cognizance in its columns o what
iriitated private citizens have to about it, But
when an irritated Infatuated citizen occupies Il
public position he is in representative position
and his remarks entitled 10 consideration AN
this is PREDATORY TO obserN alton concerning this
paper yesterday by Mayor George L. Young at the
close of the Parish hearing.
Mr.. Young heatedy stated that certain ed-
torial from The Republican which had been rank
ling in the vicinity of his hip pocket since the
filing Of the charges against the city manager was
insulting to him and The commission The Rerub-
lean printed several editorials about that time any
one of which TO the oblique vision of the meyor
might have seemed insulting Inasrnuch as he did
not read aloud the editorial which he 50 feelingly
dramatically floirished we are left in doubt as
10 its identity.
At the time of the filing of the charges ard it
has not yet been dissipated, there was a popular
impression that the mayor and some members of
the commission had encouraged the presentation of
the trivial charges which have become the basis
of the ridiculous farce to which the citizens
of Phoenix have treated. The picture
shows and other places of amusement complain
that their business has fallen of since it was staged
The commission naturally associated with
tween the city manager and the commission, in
Nidious to the latter inevitable. 1t was mat
ter of common knowledge that some members of
the commission DESTROYS of ousting the man
and also DESTROYS of securing an amend
ment to the charter extending the powers of the
commission the business affairs of the city
The Republican moved say that the
members of the commission fitted for
such task The people had mot elected COM
mission for such purpose. If the voters had ex-
pected that the commission would have anything to
do with the business management of Phoenix some
of its members would have been elected at all.
We think that if it left the
people OF this city that it would oe Overwhelmingly
agreed that The Republicans estimate of the bust
ability of the mayor and those members who
trying get rid of Mr.. Parish was a correct
Whatever the editorial may have been it
vituperative. Criticism that is real criticism
is not vtuperaon and vituperation is essentially
not criticism. We would refer the mayor to his

JAPAN FEELING LIS OATS
Tribune.

Whether Japan's participation in the present war
is making it feel its oats, certain it is that Chi
officials have been disqueted by political and
territorial demands made by Japan upon China. fol

demands twenty in number. commtin-
Gated to the Chinese government January rs
by the Japanese minister.
They insist, among other things. that China turn
TO japan all existing German and Austrian
concessions; that China pledge herself to give
concessions in the future any country except
Japan; that Japan receive permission to build q
special territorial railway. and that mining privileges
be granted to Japan in Shantung and Flu KEN prov

The Parish trial which it seems to be generally
considered the part of those who have been
attending the sessions, has degeneratcd into
thorough going farce terminated yesterday
is very evident to those who have fol-
lowed these hearings that the real question involved
is not the efficiency and ability of Mr.. Parish but
that the trial is really an effort to uproot the
commission manager form of government in this
city and substitute for it the old spells system of
partisan politics We believe that the people of this
community are pretty thoroughly convinced that
PARTISAN politics municipal affairs, spells neither
efficiency economy, and We do not believe that
they will allow sand be thrown in their eyes

he possesses those fundamental characteristics
which should make good executve-honesty,

in certain matters of detail Mr. Parish, all men

twenty years ago has given recurring interest to
the subject of paving with the result that when
rains of the come, people who are
laundering through the mud will find clean,
solid footing.
Property owners outside the present paved dis
trict approaching the value of paving. They
have witnessed the advance in Tie value of prop
erty in that section within the last four years and
of them attribute the rise in values in all
parts of the city within that tine to the influence
of the improvements in the central part of town.
If there could be such indirect sympathetic
effect from the paving in the business district and
the residential districts much greater
would be the effect il the improvements were di-
rectly applied
The city commission and property owners will
probably find it easier to get together than has
been the in the past in THIS most important
matter.

Restriction of Legislation

Not enough laws have been passed or are
likely to be passed at this session of the legisa-
ture to do any harm, but several bills which are
mertorous will fail of passage, largely because
members of house while looking for defects in
originating in the other house have over
looked the merits of such measures The evil rather
than the good been sought and it is
easy thing to find something Objectionable i'll the
best of The tendency of members
in the house has often been to view with
suspicion measures presented by their colleagues
and this suspicion has often resulted in cloudng
good points in such bills
Another of the failure Of good bills has
been the division in each house administration
ana administration factions We do think
that majority of the members coming to
Phoenix inclined to regard the administration
issue but the few who disposed to
make it issue succeeded in establishing hostile
camps into the other of which, great part
of the membership of each house has been drawn.
AS a result all the important bills have
been discussed, not upon their merits but to the
effect they would likely have upon the admnistra-
ton. Their effect upon the people, the desires Of
the people have been wholly lost sight of
Many good bill not regarded by the legisla-
tors as of the first magnitude has failed because

Such body would analyze measures detect jokers

ENTERS PROTEST
SOUTH DAKOTA FIGHTING PRO
POSED INCREASE IN RATES
ON COAL.

Chicago. April 19.-Analysis OF
coal freight rates to South Dakota
points was made before w. M. Dan
iels, interstate commerce commits
%sioner, in the hearing of the petition
Of forty-one western railway systems
which are seeking an advance in
freight rates on certain commodities.
b. l.. Kelley, rate expert of the
South Dakota railroad commission,
presented comparisons Of coal freight
rates with coal rates in other sections
OF the country. His figures covered
both eastern coal entering the north
west by the Lake Superior gateway
and coal hauled from the Illinois and
Indiana mines. He interpreted the
figures which he detailed as showing
that South Dakota points already suf-
fer from discrimination in freight
rates and the proposed advance of 10
cents a ton would be an additional
burden. After explaining the exhibits
offered by him, Mr.. Kelley said.
THE proposed advance i'm bitumin-
Gus coal rates would further serious
~ retard the industrial development
of South Dakota, now held i'm check
by its inability to obtain an ample
fuel supply upon a reasonable trans
p~ortation basis"
His testimony laid stress on the
contention that the haul to South Da-
kota consuming points was from two
10 three times the average haul of
soft coal for the entire country.
Notwithstanding this situation. =
said Mr.. Kelley, the rate per ton
mile is higher. though normally ii is
an accepted rule of rate making that
the longer the haul is, the lower the
rate per ton mile should be"
I'VE claim here said the witness,
that the carriers are e~ndeavoring to
impose the increased rates upon the
heaviest and largest tonnage they
carry. The interstate commerce
commission reports show that
bituminous coal made up the follow
ing percentages of the total tonnage

BOND ELECTION
THE NEED OF ADDITIONAL
SCHOOL ROOM AS SEEN BY
BOARD OF EDUCATION.

To the Voters of Madison: To-
morrow you are asked to vote again
on the question of bonding the dis
trict to build a new high school.
That this proposition is favored by a
great majority of u citizens is
shown by the fact that it carried last
year by 96S to 341.
As has been explained before, we
were unable to sell the bonds last
summer because the war situation
and the unsettled condition of things
in Mexico had their influence on the
bond market and it would seem as
though the bond company directed
their attorney TO find some technical
flaw in the election.
Despite the fact that these two
conditions are still prevalent. the
bond market at the present time is
very good and the district will gain
financially by a years delay. The
board has the complete blue prints
and specifications of the proposed
building on hand and can commence
operations without delay immediate
ly after the bonds are sold. 1t is gen
orally conceded that the bonds will
carry, but it is the desire of the board
to have as large a majority as pos
sible in order that the bonds may sell
more readily. Please help us by reg
istering your vote in the affirmative
and see that your neighbors turn out
also. Women can vote on this ques-
ton as well as men and it is their
assistance we especially ask.
A failure to vote on the question is
a vote against the bonds, because it
takes a majority of all the votes cast
to carry them.
The amount each person will have
to pay il additional taxes each year Is
very small, ii amounting to only
about $1.25 annually for each $1,000
assessed valuation.
The need for more room Is so great
and the welfare of the schools so ur-
gent that the board feels justified in
going to the people with this propo-
sition. They want to assure the peo-
pie of Madison that they have con
sidered the proposition Ions and
thoroughly before taking this move
and making this appeal.
Most respectfully submitted,

H. III. Frudenfeld,
