COMMISSIONERS TELL WHY CASE
 VAS PRESENTED

In commenting on the ueciSiOn an nounced yesterday by the Interstate Commerce commission which upheld the existing one-way first and second class passenger fares from points on and east of the Missouri river and elsewhere to Arizona points which had been declared by the Arizona Corpor- ation commission to be unjust and unrea soma ble, the corporation issued the follwing statemnt:
 "In the proceeding entitled Western Passenger Fares reported in Volume 37. L c. c. reports, page 1, the carriers operating in what is generally known as western territory, sought to in crease their interstate fares from 2'to 2h cents per mile on short hauls, and from to cents per mile on longer hauls.
 "In deciding the case, the Interstate Commerce commission held that the carriers had amply justified certain increases in the fares from eastern selling and passing points to certain points in western territory, but that they had failed completely to justlfy any increases in the rates which ap- piled from the same selling and passing points to points on the main lines Of the carriers running westerly toward the Pacific coast, and southerly through Oklahoma and Arkansas and states south and west thereof and further more, that the rates in effect to points in the territory just described which exceeded cents per mile were ex- cessive.
 AS the passenger fares in the state of Arizona were then, and are now. on a basis of 4 cents per mile on the main lines, and cents per mile on branch lines, the Arizona corporation commission brought a complaint be- fore the Interstate Commerce con,- mission alleging that the fares to points in Arizona from the various eastern selling and passing points were un- reasonable and excessive to the extent that they exceeded 3 cents per mile on the main lines, and the decision just handed down by the Interestate Commerce commission is the result of the hearing which was had in the case"
 The tariffs affected by the decision are from Chicago, Memphis, St Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo-, St. Paul and Minneapolis, Council Bluffs and Sioux City, Iowa, Atchison and Leavenworth. Kas., and cities in New Mexico, Louisiana, California, Nevada and Utah to Arizona destinations

Under the heading Midsummer in Arizona,' The Phoenix Graphic" a weekly newspaper that flourished here score of more years ago. at one time published an essay on "A Region Where the Monday Heat Breaks the Ther- mometer." Old timers were impressed with the literary style of the author, or perhaps believed there was more truth than rhetoric in the offering. Anyhow, IL has lived through all these years. and the other day, Charles N. Wilson. who conducts grocery store at 1901 East van Buren street, resurrected clipping of the article

the Phoenix summer bed room will soon be necessary
 Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the summer and the bed room is born of that necessity. It is on stilts; is built of wire screen of fine mesh, for the Phoenix mosquito is microscopic in size. It is furnished, according to the taste of the occupant with interior cur tains, to keep out the morning sun, the gaze of the curious, and the sand storm. The bed is cot of canvass or Wov- en wire, covered perhaps with d sheet, but even a sheet feels like a feather bed on a Phoenix summer night. The bed covering is the roof of the bed room, and careless folks who consult | their comfort only don't wear night shirts.
 | Phoenix is proud of it's ciitaate dur l ing eight months of the year, but it doesn't talk much in public about it's midsummer. It is a right warm day when the Government Weather Bureau doesn't know what the sun tempera- i ture is and is unable to determine it, and that is how hot it gets in Phoenix. 1 called in Observer Burns one day | last July and asked him what the of | fici2p tempera ture was ill the sun. He said he did not know and that the gov
 ernment couldn't afford to experiment to that end. He said he had attempted to catch the sun temperature during the summer of 1898 and had broken a S3 thermometer in the attempt. To please my curiosity he hung d ther- mometer in the sun, watched it until ii registered 136 degrees, and then took il in, fearing it would break.
 'The dryness of the atmosphere re- lieves this great heat of any terrors tC
 all living things except women ano
 cats. There is a saying in Phoenix tnal i'll summer women and cats are ner-
 V usly l'Cstrated, while men an dog.

of story of the arrest and lining of Theros Morris for speeding it was re- lated that Morris had protested to the court against a heavy fine on the ground that he was compelled to assist his brother Thomas Morris in the SUD- ort of the latter's wife It is stated on the contrary that is not the case and that is not what Morris meant. He is associated with his brother in the own ership of certain valuable residence property. But Thomas Morris is amply able to support his own family and does so. The Morrises are Greeks and of high standing in the community.

TIME FOR ENDURING
PEACE NOT YET HERE

LONDON. Oct 23.-Speaking here
today, Premier Loyd-George said two
things have now made Germany's de-
feat absolutely certain. These two
things are Americas entrance into
the war and the decreasing effective
ness of the submarine warfare.
No endurable peace is in sight at
this time, the premier said To make
peace now, he declared. would be
merely an amistice and a more fright
full struggle would follow.
To fully realize just what America s
entrance into the war means, the
speaker pointed out, one had only to
look at Great Britains army before
the war and her army now. The Uni
ted States he declared, had far great
ell resources than Great Britain and
could do even more than she has done.
Il had hoped this year would see
Germany's power broken the prem
Ter said. But the collapse OF the
Russian military power has made this
impossible. Time, however, is on the
side of the allies"
