PROTECTING INTERESTS
 OF ARIZONA GENTLEMEN

F. A Jones, member of the state corporation commission, who had been at San Francisco for the past few days attending hearing before the Interstate Commerce commission has returned to Phoenix. He represented the commission in an action instituted against some of the railroads of the western states. Judge Barnum of th;s city was also present at the hearing, as the representative of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association.
 It seems that for some time past, there has been a disposition on the part of certain roads operating in this section to avoid payment of the full amount of damages in cases where cattle were injured or killed while in the hands of the companies for shipment. Some time ago the roads drew up a form of bill of lad ing, which they compelled all ship pers to sign, limiting the liability of the carrier to a sum not exceeding S75 per head in case any animals were killed while in transit. The stockmen have been making an effort to have the S75 limit removed and to make provisions for the collection of the full amount of damages for all ami mals killed
 The corporation commission con tends that the recently-enacted Cum mins amendment to the interstate re- gulations, climates all chance of the roads lodging the responsibility for killing stock while in shipments, and it was to protect the shippers of this state that Mir. Jones appeared before the interstate body at Frisco.
 The interstate commission will hold another hearing on the subject in New Orleans on February 21, and on April IS, there will be a conference on the subject in Washington. It is under stood that the state commission will be represented at these meetings Phoenix Republican.

Are You Guilty?

A farmer carrying an express pack age from a big mail-order house was accosted by local dealer.
 "Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality"
 The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then asked:
 "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? read il and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here"
