1. W. W. TROUBLES
 IN TEXAS POLITICS

One of the peculiar comebacks of the 1. w. w. litigation, which was re- gently filed at Tombstone is the prac- tical boycotting of a Texas man who is aspiring to office. It appears that an Fl Paso firm filed many of the suits for the miners who were deport- ed from Bisbee last year and that a number of these litigants were I. w. WIS. A joint debate was the place where the matter was injected and the law firm denied that they had any thing to do with the suits, although the petitions filed in the Tombstone courts showed that this firm appeared as attorneys for plaintiff. The war is on and the 1. w. sympathizers are sure to get the worst of it.
 The only time that Arizona's af- fairs were carried into the politics of another state was when the late Sen ator Bard, of California, was can didate for reelection. His position on matters affecting Arizona in the Unit ed States senate caused our people to go into the campaign and urge his de- feat, which was accomplished Bard was very good man, but made po- litical break that could not be rem edied and suffered the consequences.

TO ENLIST YOUNG MEN
 INTO COLLEGES TO FIT
 THEM FOR US. SERVICE
Plan Is to Mobilize Brain
 Power of Nation for Spe- cial Training in Important Work During the War

A plan has been prepared by the War Department to offer to ablebod- jed college students over the age of IS an opportunity to enlist in the mil itary forces of the United States and to obtain traning in the colleges which will prepare them for the more exacting forms of military service.
 The purpose of the plan is to pro- vide for the very important needs of the army for highly trained men as officers, engineers, chemists, doctors, and administrators. The importance of the need cannot be too strongly em- phasized. The plan is an attempt to mobilize and develop the brain power of the young men of the country for those services which demand special training, and to make that power available in the war and in the peace which will follow. Its object is to pervent the premature enlistment of those men who could by extending the period of their college training null tiply manifold their value to the coun- try. If the need arises for the ser vices of these men in the fighting line, the terms of their enlistment are such that~ they can be called by the Pres ident on a days notice, but it will be the policy of the Government to keep them in training until their draft age is reached.
 By this plan, if it can be put into effective execution, the supply of trained men will not be depleted and the work of the Government in pros ecuting the war, and in the work which will follow, will be greatly fac ilitated. Indeed, without some such plan there is grave danger that the number of students in our colleges will be greatly reduced and that the the country will greatly suffer, not only during the war, but in the years to come.
 In order to make this plan effective, there has been organized nationwide campaign which will reach every town every college and every secondary school, and which will bring home to
 
 fact that those who are qualified to go to college can serve their country and themselves best by doing so. They will thus become enlisted men in the service of the country, but will be preparing themselves as trained men to take part most effectively in the work of either war or peace.
 To carry out this plan each state is organized with someone in charge who will energetically push the work.
 The agencies whose aid will be en- listed are:
 The State Councils of Defense, The State Boards of Education, and the various organizations in each state, such as the Chambers of Commerce, Women's Clubs, City Clubs, local ed ucational organizations, engineering societies, boards of health, etc.
 A letter will be sent to each man from the War Department.
 We all know that many young men should not go to collegt but it too of- ten happens that the very men who should go are the ones to be diverted, The important thing is to prevent this, and to insure that the right men shall finish their preparatory studies, go to. college, and stay there until they complete their courses unless sooner called into active service by the Government.

MORGAN & co. TO
MAKE CALL LOANS
Banking House Will Take An.
ceptances at 4 1-2 Per
Cent. Rate.
NEW POLICY ADOPTED
Action Expected to Relieye
Stringent Money
Conditions.
W POLICY ADOPTED

]. p. Morgan & Co. announced yestsr.
day that on and after Monday they vi,
be prepared to make call loans on eIls,.
BILE acceptances to dealers and discour,
houses at rates based on the rate OF IN.
Federal Reserve Bank. That will be AZ
per cent. on Monday.
The Inauguration OF this new banking
facility was declared In the fnanc,a,
district to be highly significant In that I,
will open a new channel in the money
market that should ease the demand,
being made on banks which are member,
OF the Clearing House and Of the Federal
reserve system.
This action by the Morgan firm will
also be of material assistance to m,
newly formed discount companies, who's.
business was gradually being curtailet
by the fact that they could not borrow
on the acceptances except at rates which
are IL per cent. above what they are
receiving on the acceptances. The con.
tinuation OF such condition. one banker
declared, would have resulted in the
strangulation OF the acceptance business
which Is in its Infancy in this country
J. p. Morgan In discussing the action
taken by his firm yesterday said:
This action Is taken In order 10 en-.
courage the development OF free and
active market in acceptances eligible for
discount at the Federal Reserve Bank on
the lines Of similar markets in London
and Paris"
Bankers said that the new facility
offered by J. P. Morgan & Co. will prob
ably be adopted by other banking houses
and Institutions.
A freer discount market Is expected
by bankers to be Of aid to the financing
Of securities because the new call rats
will act as a buffer to Stock Exchange
collateral loans in that when money
becomes unusually stringent the demand
loans on acceptances will be called first,
thus postponing until absolutely impera.
tive the calling in of loans made on
securities. The owners of the accep-
tances when these loans are called will
then have recourse to the rediscounting
privilege of the Federal Reserve Bank,
OF which they have not awaited them
selves to any extent owing to the fact
that in doing so they lost ownership Of
the acceptances.
The new departure in banking an
nounced by the Morgan firm is similar to
that which has been In use In England
for some time.
The new arrangement is also expected
to be Of material benefit In placing ad-
ditional banking resources at the dis
posal Of the needs OF the United State.
Government.
The offering of new facilities 10 the
dealers and owners of acceptances is
expected to broaden materially the mar.
ket for acceptances. thus increasing the
business Of those few discount com.
panies which were recently formed TO De.
velop this market Within the last
few months two such companies were
formed In New York. with one in process
OF formation. Another discount COM
pany was recently formed in Boston.
But for the step taken by J. p. Morgan
& Co. the comprehensive plans outlined
for the building up OF an acceptance
market similar to those In France and
England prior to the war would prob
ably have collapsed.

Ing the situation. said: THE New YORK
Sun OF this morning shows that the to-
tai OF Wall Streets loans on securities
Is 1915. 100000. This is an extremely
bullish argument when compared with
the securities outstanding. To give an
idea of the insignificance OF this amount.
last year there was about fifteen to
eighteen billion dollars OF savings avail
able for reinvestment. OF course the
Government got the big share of this
last year, but II the savings of this
country could be used to take up these
loans II would mean that il would only
take about seven or eight days to absorb
the whole OF Wall Streets Indebtedness.
We are making this illustration as there
has been SO much talk about the amount
which ID loaned on collateral in Wall
Street that the above figures show how
infnitesimal the amount really is and
that Wall Street has done it's part in

in the Street during such dull times he
has been quietly acquiring a number of
the standard stocks which he considered

most important holdings are in Steel and

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
An Important Financial Even,

Anpouneement by J. p. Morgan & Co.
that It will enter the acceptance bust
ness Ia considered one of the most I'M
pcrtant events in the financial world In
recent years and bankers and prominent
brokers were enthusiastic over the ac-
ton. The news came too late to have
any appreciable effect on the stock mar
ket. but In the opinion of leading houses
It will have an important bearing on the
money market and should result in a
distinct easing OF money for Stock Ex-
change uses, The fact that the most
influential banking house in the Street
will hereafter loan money on call against
acceptances eligible for rediscounting at
the Federal Reserve Bank on the same
terms quoted by the Reserve Bank will
relieve the banks and the Federal Re-
serve Bank Of part Of the work in fnanc-
Ing acceptances. 1t also means, in eff
feet. that In a stringent money market
loans on acceptances will be called first
while Stock Excl ange loans will enjoy a

VERDE SQUAW PLANS
 DEEPER EXPLORATION

JEROME, June S.-Plans for the sinking of a deep shaft that will de. velop the Boulder ledge at the Verde Squaw are rapidly rounding into shape A. ?. Colwell and a party of several men will leave for the property within a day or two for the purpose of mak. ing complete survey and topographic cal map of the ground.
 This survey will be made with a view to the building of a new road up to the Boulder workings, the location of hoist house and, ultimately, the construction of an aerial tram to con- vey ore to the Mesa-Clarkdale raidroad less than d mile down in the valley from the mine. The management in- tends to make no mistake, the undo ing of which will cost the company money later on.
 Only about half a mile of road is necessary to afford easy access to the property. The present road is rocky and includes several steep grades over which it would be difficult and expen- sive to haul heavy machinery.
 The Boulder ledge. of schist and quartz. is approximately seventy feet wide on the surface An adit drift was run in about 100 feet and a shal- low winZe sunk, attaining total depth from the surface of about fifty feet. The winZe is bottomed in tore tha runs around four percent copper.
 It is tentatively planned to raise from the wInZe to the surface, where the new plant will be located. Then the shaft will be sunk to a depth of at least 500 feet right in the ore. From the bottom a crosscut will be run westward to intersect the downward continuation of the great outcrop of iron gossan so priminent on the hill side short distance above the Boul- der ledge.
 Driving of the Barter tunnel has been discontinued thirty-one feet from where it passed through the diorite footwall and into the ledge. It is by no means certain that it has reached the hanging wall but the formation be- came much tighter All the way from the footwall to the face is mineralized ledge matter.
 A drift has just been started north ward on the ore lying next to the foot wall. Yesterday the drift had prog ressed only five feet but in that dis tance the good ore had widened. It is several inches wider in the floor of the drift than in the roof.
