CITY IS GIVEN \
REHEAR|NG Of 2
HARRER ACTION

Members of the corporation com
mission yesterday granted the city OF
Phoenix a re-hearing in the recent
water case, which was decided in
favor o. the complaining witness, D.
B. Harrer, at the first hearing No
date for the second hearing has vet
been set and in the meantime, the
city must furnish water to users re-
siding outside of the corporate limits
at the same rates charged city pa
irons.
The city made application for a re-
hearing on the grounds that suffi-
Gent evidence was not presented at
the former hearing to warrent a de-
cision. No attempt was made by the
city at that time to introduce evil
dence to show why a higher rate
should be charged for suburban ser
vice than for city service. Rather.
the city attorney argued that the
commission did not have jurisdiction
to act.
1t IS understood that at the next
hearing. the city will attempt to show
that it cost more to serve suburban
patrons than city users and for this
reason, higher rate is justified.

GOVERNOR GIVES
INF ORMAT| IF
REQUIREMENTS

According TO word received recently
by Governor Thomas E. Campbell. the
present policy of the war department
at Washington is to raise 1000, 600 men
for the defense Of the nation. These
men will all be in the regular army
and national guard.
The true military situation in Arizo-
ma is summed in the following:
arizona now has a population esti-
mated at 100000, which, it is easily
seen, fixes her full quota at $500 men
on the basis of 10000 men. The
$500 men required of this state viii he
divided as follows:
Active organization of First Ari-
iona lnfantry-at new war
strength as provided in bill
passed last June ............. 2.002
Officers Observation-Disclosures. Sc
Reserve Battalion. officers and
men ...--.........- 800
Governor Campbell. under the new
law. can commission officers only in
the national guard aud these only after
examination prescribed by the presi-
dent has been successfully passed. The
president alone can appoint and com
mission officers in the Officers reserve
corps.
The officers reserve corps under the
new law takes the place of the Old
volunteer officers list. Under this
corps. the age limits are fixed as fol-
lows:
Second lieutenants ............ 80
First lieutenants OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. SO
Captain ..............-... 40
Major ....-............ As
When an officer reaches the age linn
it prescribed for the rank he holds, he
will be discharged. The president has
the power to appoint brigadier gen
erals.
1t will be seen that other western
states are rapidly recruiting men to
meet their military quota, while the
movement in Arizona is progressing
very slowly.
Congress, within a week. Will pass 4
law prescribing how men shall he

existing. according to information re

county assessors shall enroll all able
