Irrigation Not
lReli@hed as Way
To Settle Case

Despite the fact that it was a
rather warm day yesterday, Hank
Hawkins did not fancy bath IN an
IrrigatIng ditch. In act Wnen Ben
Erice, who is twice the size of Han
kins, led the latter to the small
stream back of Hawkins nome d.
rectly opposite the Water Users
building, Hank baked. He alleged
that Price then pushed him in and
appeared in court IN his wet ana
muddy clothes to give strength to
his allegation. He swore to mis-
demeanor charge in Justice De Sou
za's court and Price was fined SIS.
Price did not believe he had paid
in full with the payment of a mere
fine. In order to return Hankins'
courtesy he swore to a complaint
charging the latter with battery.
Hankins was placed under a $500
bail and will have to appear in court
at 2 o'clock Tuesday to answer to
the charge of threatening to kill
Price.
Difficulties between the two men
arose over the property occupied by
Hankins just north Of the canal on
Van Buren, street and Second ave-
nue.. Hawkins claims he has the
right to the lot under a lease from
the agent OF z. X. O'Brien of Wick
enburg. Price says he has a lease
from O'Brien himself and that he
means to get possession of the place.

supply water to the adjacent subdi-
visions under the same rates and con-
ditions that appertain within the city
limits.
The district so served, however, has
been required to extend at the expense
of the property owners involved, the
main and pipe lines from the city linn
its, the expense being borne by the
consumers so served.
About Charge for Meters
1t is stated that the city requires or
has required those making such in
vestment, to vest the title to such eX-
tensions to the city. Services has been
continued temporarily, pending these
proceedings, but notice is now given to
these consumers involved, that services
will be discontinued unless they al
their personal expense install OF per-
nit the installation of meter on or be-
fore April l, 1917.
A hearing upon the facts was set
for March 6, the usual notice having
been given those interested. The city
introduced no testimony. Briefs have
been filed, and the matter is now sub
mitted for disposition.
Counsel for the city argues that the
state has no jurisdiction whatever over
the rates, charges of practices of mu-
inequalities operating public utilities,
within or without their boundaries. In
this case we are not concerned with
the question of jurisdiction within the
municipality.
Our state laws condemn discrimi-
nation.
Undue Discrimination
We find that undue discrimination
would ensue if the city puts into prac-
time it's rules requiring consumers
outside the city limits to install meters
at their expense, and to pay for their
water service, rates based upon meter
measurement, while exempting like
consumers similarly situated in all re-
spects except as to the city boundary.
Similar cases have reached the Cal
ifornia courts, and it has been held
that the state commission has juris-
diction over the operation of the mu-
nicipally owned public utilities outside
of the boundaries of the city, owning
and operating such plants.
We are unable to subscribe to the
doctrine of counsel for the city in this
case, that the city may own any kind
of public utility, and may be free to
ignore any kind of a law made by the
state, relating to rates and service.
Such construction would enable a city
to enter into competition with an eX-
i lSJlnS utility, without securing Ger
! tificate of convenience and necessity
and, if so desired, to so adjust its rates,
as to confiscate existing and recog
nized utilities.
| We are Of the opinion that the pa
| irons of the Phoenix City Water de-
partment, now being served outside
the city limits, should be served in the
| futHre on exact equality with like
consumers within the city, where cir
! cumstances and conditions are the
same.

At the Elks


Damaged Goods" was presented at

odore Lorch and company, not the
moving picture version, but the real
Damaged Goods" exactly as given
by Mr.. Richard Bennett in New York
The play created a profound sensa-
ton among those who were fortunate
enough to see it, and the concensus
OF opinion with the audience upon leav-
ing the theater was that every man,
woman and child in Phoenix should
have chance of hearing this power
full message to society.
The play is, of course, a masterpiece
of thesis drama"-an argument, dog
matte, insistent, unacceptable, cumula :
tive, between science and common
sense, on one side, and love of various
types on the other. 1t is what Mr.
Bernard Shaw has called a drama OF
discussion" it has the splendid points
of the best Shaw play, unrelieved-and
undiluted-by Shavian paradox, wit
and irony.
Many of the audience We're aston
ished at the plays showing of sheer
strength as acted drama.

Chaplin at the very zenith of his
funmaking powers is seen again TODAY

a comedy that has done much to
awaken the public to the realization
that Chaplin is the one and only COM
edian who has been able to withstand
the tickle public's ever changing fancy.
His Easy Street" is a master work
and is so full of the best work of his
career that even his old time man.
ayers are of the opinion that in this
picture Chaplin has surpassed all his
previous efforts. 1t is the first picture
he has made with real story running
all the way through There is not a
moment from the time he puts the big
cop out with gas to the time ne drops
the cookstove four stories on his bean
that there is not one laugh after an
other. With Chaplin today there will
be shown Ben Wilson in THE Sheriff

diction over the operations of munich

reaching, affecting all similar munich

In brief, complainant further alleges
that he, with Others paid for the pipe
lines, and that thereafter the city sup
piled water to himself and others liv
ing outside the city limits at the same
monthly rental that other like con-
sumers paid for water service within
the city limits. That the city now de-

An order to satisfy or answer was
served upon the city manager of Phoe-
nix, January u, 1917 Whereupon the
