OUR LEGISLATURE AND FACTS

Facts are always nailhard But they are useful in driving home a point Tine process is often painful but sometimes much good is accomplished. It all depends upon the material upon which work is to be done
 This observation is intended to apply O Arizona and her socaed legislature The people elected the present legislature with the object in of securing economy in government through the vigilance of legislators wno were pledged to economy. Fact No l is that the legis lature has not kept its promise. Fact No is, Una. the legislators have betrayed their trust It be pleasan. reading to trustfm Arizona commonwealth, but he Arizona Gazette feoressy and trubfulIy caus attention thc fact that he appropriation bin be- fore the lower house of the state legislature carries IN SALARIES ALONE the lrincey. not to say staagernr sum of s2O5.5SO per

 The population of Arizona s according % the lates, census 2Ol854 generally assumed that there is one adult every four of the total population and ha, there taxpayer to every four of the adult popua ton. Highly probable that these figures are too low for Arizona, where there is large floating popu laton that rays either taxes or at best taodoar poll tax Taking them as approximations, it result. that there about 13ooo taxpayers in the state and that therefore it every taxpayer sl6 per annuu to pay the salaries of state officers alone
 The tate has commissions boards and other Iuz ures to extent found in communities of fifty times population. and every one of them is expen sive The members draw salaries that any business 1n would be glad salaries greater than most Of then could in any other line of legitimate endeavor and every one Of the boards committees, offices and com missions has. in addition the the member and the salaries of her assistants an expense account that is sufficient in be an irresistible tempta tion 10 extravaganza and the spending of h, taxpayers money.
 careful review Of this appropriation bill must Iea' the conclusion that the basis of dgur ing has been how cheapy can this work be done? but rather how much We appropriate and get b. with it?"
 Arizona. with the smallest population of any stat pays much for administration as states Gv times it's size and THE PER CAPITA COST OF ADMIN ASPIRATION IS THE HIGHEST OF ANY STATE IF THE UNION. HOW LONG CAN SHE STAND TT?

COMPANY'S STAND IN REDUCING COST OF TIRES MEETS
 WITH APPROVAL

The following editorial from Motor Age iu its February nth issue is of interest to every user of automobile tires. in that it indicates how popular has been the reception of the Good rich stand on tire prices. Dealers all over the country report a tremendous Increase in the tire business wherey- CT the leading manufacturers have lowered their prices to conform to inc Goodrich standard Orders have been pouring in constantly and in such volume that the men are work ing night and day
 n their editorial Motor Age says "Tbe tire situation is clarifying it- self and in the process tire lists quite generally are touching new low lev els. Since the Goodrich company am nounccd its new list and the abolish- meDt Of percentage discounts n fave or or established list prices to the users and net prices to the dealers half dozen other makers have re- used lists and in practically every case the new figures are lower than the old ones
 "Tha B.

Under No Condition Will
Former Dictator Be AL
lowed to Enter Mexico
III. S. GOVERNMENT
TO USE FIRM HAND
General Funston Ordered to
Use His Troops if
Necessary

Washington, d. c., July 2.-Victoriano
Huerta, former dictator and president OF
Mexico, whose defiance of President vii.
son led to the seizure OF Vera Cruz by
the Americans, will not be permitted TO
enter Mexico from the United States at
time when his presence would be a
further menace to the plans of this gov
ernment to restor peace, if the federal
government can prevent it.
The determination to keep Huerta from
crossing the southern border of the Unit
ed States and thus complicating tic
present Mexican situation with new
revolution, reached a point to-day where
four different ways of OBTAINING the for
mer Mexican chieftain were under con-
by the various departments of
the United States government.
Meanwhile, General Funston OF the
department of Texas has orders to use
force ii necessary to keep HUI
erta from crossing the line while at liber-
ty under bail.
1t has not yet been determined what
action will be taken on the request for
his extradition, made by Villa, governor
Of chihuahua.

MONTPELIER CUT OFF
FROM TELEPHONE
For Some Time Early This Morning the
Capital City Wasn't Able to Com
municate North or South.

The great rainfall of the past two days
temporarily cut off Montpelier from tele-
phone communication with the outside
world last night when water got in man
hole at the corner of Barre and Main
streets in that city. Along about mid
night the night operator of the Montpe
lier telephone office notified the testman,
Lull that several lines were going into
trouble rapidly. Upon his arrival at the
Office, Mr.. Lrll found that all the lines
on Berlin side, including the town OF
Berlin lines, together with all the long
distance lines north and south were out
of commission. Tests located the trou
BILE in the underground cable at the Barre
street manhole, which was found to be
full of water. After pumping the water
out with the assistance of Troublemen
Lull and Decolaines it was found that
l2o-wire splice had sprung leak in the
Joint Of the lead pipe that encloses the
wires. The automobile was put into
service and a flying trip made to Barre
to get the cable repair tools, Foreman
Hodgdon returning about 3 a. m.
Foreman Hodgdon proceeded with the
repairs and most of the lines were in
working order by a. m, although it
will require all day to complete the work.
A defect in wired lead joint, which
was not quite water tight, caused the
;rouble, damaging about 25 feet OF l20-
wire cable.

The constitution and bylaws OF the
Vermont Timber Land association, which
has as its object the preservation of the

The articles are signed by the officials OF
some of the largest lumber concerns
which have interests in this and adjoin-

further the objects to be attained.
The principal Office of the association
will be located at Bloomfield, where semi

Testified Witness, a Police
man at the Tender
~ loin Station H.
ON THE NIGHT WHEN
WHITE WAS KILLED
James M. Barrett Was the
First Oral Witness
for State

New York, July 2.--The state called
as the first oral witness in the Thaw case
to-day James NJ Barrett, the policeman
who was assigned to the Tenderloin po-
lice station on the night Harry Thaw
was taken there after killing Stanford
White. He gave testimony intended by
the state to prove that Thaw, while in
his cell, was under the delusion that he
heard voices OF little girls screaming.
"Thaw asked me two or three times"
said the witness, "'Where are those lit
tie girls screamingT" He asked me who
was beating and abusing them. The
witness said that woman who had been
arrested was shouting and carrying on
and he told Thaw it was the woman,
but Thaw replied: 20 no, they're not.
They're little girls; hear them scream
ing"
Thaw, when brought into the station,
said the witness, had his head thrown
back and his eyes were staring.

Five More British Vessels

fare on large scale recently came 10
hand, but the loss of life has been ex-
ceptional, being confined mostly to the
case of the Armenian. The stories of the
officers and crew of that craft indicate
that the casualties among them were in
flicted while the steamer was in fighc
after being signalled to stop.
In the fighting in the east there is no
indication in the Russian official state
ments that there is any halt in the
sweep of the Teutonic armies northward
and eastward from Lemberg. Further
south, however, the troops of the Grand
Duke Nicholas have made what looks
like determined stand along the line of
the Gnila Lipa river. The AustroG Ger
man accounts tell of victories even in
that section of the eastern front but
the Russians deny that the reverses there
are serious.
Reports from neutral sources declare
the Russians received new supplies of
high explosive shells which have enabled
thtHl III tHei anu III bhci
to swell enormously the casualty lists of
the assailing armies.
The last statements from the head
quarters of the Teutonic allies indicate
that recently there has been desperate
fighting along the Austro- Italian front.
The main effort of the Italians to ad-
vance seems to have been northeast of
Monfalcone In the Isonzo region and the
invaders are admitted to have made
slight advance. The series of assaults
as whole, however, failed, the Austrians
claim. The Italian war office contents
itself with claiming that ground was
snatched inch by inch from the Austrian
defenders, while along the rest of the |
front the process of consolidating posi- |
tions and breaking up preparations by
the Austrisns for defense are proceeding |
satisfactorily.
Further reports of the occupation OF
Albanian territory have been received,
Greek bands having moved toward Berat,
occupying villages along the way. This
follows closely the recent occupation of
Scutari by Montenegrins and the pre-
yious Serbian move in Albania.

CONFESSION READ IN COURT.
In Which George Warner Told About
Double Shooting.

Woodstock, July 2.--In the case o,
George Warner, on trial in Windsor
county court for the murder Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wiggin, an aged Andover couple
the evidence yesterday tended to show
that when he was captured a rifle and
revolver were taken from him. Evidence
yesterday afternoon was from deputy
sheriffs and Sheriff Kiniry, pertaining to
Warmers written confession which was
finally read in court.
In it he said, in substance, that when
he went to the postoffice to mail a let.

tress, ordered him away, threatening to
call the sheriff. He got his brothers

the door to the shed, and when she
reached the toilet room shot her again,
through the head. She fell and he GOV.
cred her with piece OF carpet. He next
saw Wiggin at the barn and said, ''You
know you have broken up my family
and l. told you you would suffer for
it,"
Wiggin has only time to say George
when Warner shot him twice, dragged
the body into the barn and hid it in
the stall Every time he talked about
his wife he cried. He told the sheriff
that he got the rife to go and shoot
himself in his wife's home and before

This concludes the testimony for the
state. Testimony for the defense shows
that Warmers uncle, aunt and grand

WEEPING GYPsIES IN COURT.
Compelled to Return Money to Men They
Were Alleged to Have Robbed.

Burlington, July 2-Amid weeping and
| pleading, two gypsy women, members Of
gang camped near Winooski. were COM
PEELED to recompense certain men of Bur-
lington who complained that they had
been robbed while having their fortunes
told and for which offense the women
were arrested. The women also were
fined 81, but that was suspended on pay
ment of costs and they were told to leave
the city and never come back.
Nicoli Biancollini complained that he
lost l0-spot, while A. r. White said he
lost similar number Of dollars. Jarvis
G. Jarvis said he was a loser by S6, and
George Brassor admitted loss Of sim
gle dollar. Doubtless there are Others
who are keeping still about it. The po-
lice stopped the women as they were
making their rounds of the city, there
being seven in the crowd.
The woman who obtained the money
from Mr.. White was named Gertie Cos
tello. She went TO Mr.. Whites place of
business on Battery street and offered to
tell his fortune for the small sum OF l0I
cents. To do good job in the forecast
ing line, she explained, he would have to
hold some bills in one hand while she
searched the other or secrets OF the fu-
ture. He said he had no more money,
but she insisted he had and placed her
hand in his trousers pocket and took out
a bill fold. IL contained several one dol |
lar bills and a ten dollar bill in the GEN.
ter. The woman took some of the mon
py out, assuring Mr.. White that she did |

fortune was told and the woman depart.
d. Some time later Mr.. White saw the
police patrol automobile going by and
earned that ii was on is way up the
street TO place where an Italian had
,een robbed OF $40 by one OF the gypsy
ortune tellers. Mr.. White, on hearing
his, looked in his bill fold and discovered
his $40 note was gone. He thereupon
made a complaint TO the police.
