"UNEARNED lNCRESnENTs"

There is neither logic or reason in
the few bearing all the burdens of
town building. If city goes for
ward II favorably effects the for
tune of every citizen. Some day ev-
erybody will acknowledge that prop
er publicity is as necessary to the
health Of a community as good water
and lights. When that day comes
taxes will be levied and paid willing
ly for the purpose Of keeping the
assets of the place in the minds Of
those wishing a change. Cities grow
dull and taxes burdensome when they
cease to go forward, no matter wheth
er taxes are high or low, so long as
there is not ready money in the COM
munity to meet them, and the city
that lies down when adversity comes
and tries to offset the lack of ac-
tivity by parsimony in public affairs
will find business Stacking. money
growing scarce and taxes a burden
What If taxes are but five cents 4
year on an empty building? Better
pay one hundred year and have it
profitably rented Every day people
are moving away from every city in
America, prosperous or slow. II mat d.
ters not, and the duller a town grows
the faster they vacate II. Without
effort on the part Of citizens any city
will decline. Where everybody's
business Is nobody's business, with
every citizen pinching and squeezing
the nickle, it declines rapidly. Many
of them have already decayed and
are forgotten. There should he as
much system in keeping the city at
tractive and keeping II before the
people as there is in keeping the cleo
trio plant, or waterworks in proper
function. Most people now under
stand that, but every community has
its slackers, who wish to ride TO pros
perity on the backs OF the townbuild-
ers, without contributing either mon.
ey or effort TO the advancement of
the place. They should not be al
lowed TO do IT, Their mite should
be forced into the budget.
There is a tide In the affairs of
cities. which, ii taken at its flood.
leads on TO fortune. Every city
should be prepared to climb on when
the tide is at full flood. Systemati-
cally. intelligently. persistently. To
do that it needs better preparation
than catching-as-catch-can when the
tide comes in.
- Heads OF utility companies, who
prosper greatly from advancement OF
cities. are never found by soliciting
committees. They ride to opulence
on the backs OF the townbuilders.
However, the tax collector can get
them. Why not give him the oppor-
tunity? And how about nonresident
realty speculators? Soliciting com
mittees never find them. It is not

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Behold, his faults were written in
the sand but his virtues in the heart
of the whole American people.
We are struck with the greatness
and fire of his life and the simplicity
of his death and obsequies. He needs
no eulogy. We bow our head. The
great American Citizen has gone to
his reward. History will rank his
public life and service with that OF
Washington and Lincoln.

N0C VAR SMOKER
IS BIG SUCCESS

HAYDEN, Feb. 1.-THE smoker at
the Noe Var club rooms on Saturday
evening was well attended. The pro-
gram was excellent throughout, con
sisting of the following:
Sabre and Spur March (Sousa)--
Noe Var band.
Vocal solo (Hindustan)-Billie Ok
nam.
Trombone Solo, my Belgian Rose"
p. A. Mcintyre.
Blackface sketch-Turner and Mar

Surprise (Bellstadt)-Noc Var Club
band
Vocal solo-Mr Tyler.
Hy Spencer's Jazz Band-Spencer,

Beside these numbers one of great
interest was the short lecture of Chief
Hailstorm, a Cherokee Indian, who
told of the Indians. With his Indian
costume he made picturesque fig
ure, while giving the various Indian
war dances.
The members anxiously await the
next of the smokers.

LITTLE TO FEAR IN
HERCULES RUMOR

The Copper Camp last week con-
tanned an article which may have
given the wrong impression locally
relative to the affairs Of the Ray Her
cules Copper company. A. A. Wrenn,
general manager of the company, has
very emphatically denied to the Cop
per Camp that the situation confront
ing the company is in any way an
alarming one, and that quite to the
contrary, the affairs of the company
are in every way in a satisfactory
shape. The arrival of Messrs. Sydney
Bail and Allen Rogers and their in
spcction of the properties of the COM
pany is characterized by the manage
ment of the Hercules company as only
cOincidental to the preparation of fu-
tur mining and milling plans.
The fact that the ore milled had not
come up to the standard which was
anticipated in the published report of
the company of some months ago is
declared to be due to contingencies
which have arisen, and whirh are fre-
quont in new plans, and could not be
foreseen nor avoiled The Copper
Camp is glad to hear that the future
operations of the rompany will dispel
in every way rumors whirh may have
been annoying to the company's man.
agement, and will be pleased to mail
marked copies of this issue to those
firms and individuals who have writ
ten and wired the Copper Camp for
information concerning the circum-
stances surrounding the visit of
Messrs. Rogers and Ball to the prop
critics of the company and their exam
ination of the same.
1t should be added that onre again
to the newspaper men it has been
proven that rumors do not furnish the
most reliable news items, but the old
saying that every rloud has silver
lining is recalled after reading the
above item, and on having from MI
Wrenn the assurance that there is no
foundation for any rumOr which in
any wise indicates other than that
the Ray Hercules company is to main
tain it's position as one of Arizona 3

of place or improper in this connec

is small hope of the state being placed

curtailment of expenditures within
the bounds fixed by the state legisla-
ture.
