Bisbee daily review., 1919-12-23

Probably the best known pioneer in Cochise county is James F. Duncan
 now living in Tombstone, who came into Bisbee in 1879, and who has been actively associated with Bisbee and Tombstone since that date Having watched the development of the camp since the time when six men number ed the population of the Warren dis trict, he has always kept careful record of the progress of the camp, and his marvelously retentive mem ory, together with his industry in searching records ana compiling data, has made him the historian and last authority in historical fact of Bisbee
 Because of the fact that during his long residence in Cochise county he has held many public offices and has been identified prominently with the life of both Bisbee and Tombstone, he retains intimate memories of all the men who are famous in Bisbee his tory and all the main features of it's development His mind is a store house of dates and incidents anG his
 
 writings have become familiar to every student of the pioneer days of southern Arizona.
 Duncan was born in Philadelphia, Penn, in 1889. He received his edu- cation in this city and then took up the trade of blacksmithing, at which he was working at the beginning of the Civil war in 1861. He served ac- lively throusIout the war, and was hoRorably discharged in 1865, having been on the actual front of the con flict for more than three years.
 Returning 10 Pennsylvania he enter ed the merenandising business and then took up oil development in the rich Pennsylvania fields. During the winter of 1878 he became interested in a series Of letters which were written by Col. w. L. Foulk who had taken up his residence in Arizona, and who spent his leisure time in describing the climatic anG other advantages of the southwest for his friends in the east. Duncan says that after a peru sal of the first or these communica- tions, which laid stress upon the won- derful climate of Arizona, he resolved that he had had all Of the PennsyI- vania snow and cold he wanted and he decided to move. The gold rush to keadville. however, started in 1879, and in that year he struck the fam ous Colorado camp. After four however, he decided to adhere to his original intention and left for Las Vegas, N. M. He purchased an outfit here, and then started the drive to Fort Thomas, where Colonel Foulk was stationed.
 Ed Scheffelein had recently discov- cred the silver mines at Tombstone and the opportunities of the new and rich camp had been heralded far the southwest Colonel Foulk advised Duncan to go to Tomb | stone, and on October 2, 1879, he ar rived at that camp. After a month spent around the silver diggings, Dun {, can left for the Mule mountains, in which the present city of Bisbee is lc- | cated. In Mule GUlch, which is now i Bisbee, he found feur prospectors- Charles Vincent, Joseph Dyer, Marcus | F. Herring and George Eddleman.
 Duncan threw in his lot in Mule ! Gulch. The silver and copper deposits | of the camp Swere being uncovered, ] the population of the camp increased i steadily, and in 1880 the own of Bis

Bonus for Soldier Vote

Secretary Glass sees real dan
ger to the credit Of the country in
the bonus measures which have been
brought forward for the sake of en-
listing the political support of ex-
soldiers. In this connection he
points out:
To-day the credit of the United
States is imperiled by projects in
itiated and supported on the floor of
Congress with view to capturing
the so-called soldier vote. / do not
believe for a minute there is any
such thing as the soldier vote. l do
not believe that that magnificent
body Of strong, brave, lusty young
men who went out to France, or
were ready to go, want to see the
people of the United States ex-
plotted in order that each Of them
may receive donation. / do not

bility of another Liberty loan I'M
less Congress curtails its expendi-
lures and devises some more eco
nomical means Of making appropria-
tons, Secretary Glass stated at the
House committee hearings that he
was heartily in favor Of a budget,
and that one hundred million people
should not be asked to bear the bur-
den of the governments extrava-
gance. This burden, he pointed out,
rests more heavily on the poor than
it does on the rich, in spite of the
graduated income taxes. He said:
Fauors a Budget
81 am heartily in favor of bud
get system. Without effective con-
troll over governmental expendi-
lures and limitation Of them to the
governments income we shall bring
down upon our heads the splendid
structure which our fathers have
built, and which we have preserved.
The very success (Which you will
pardon me if l call brilliantly with
Which the Treasury has financed the
stupendous requirements imposed
upon America by the great war may
become menace. All sense of
values seems to have departed from
among US. The departments, bu-
reaus and boards, all inspired by a
laudable enthusiasm for their work,
but some by less laudable instinct
to magnify its Importance and Incl
dentally their own, lombard the
committees Of Congress with prof.
ects, some more or less meritorious,
some Of no merit whatever, but all
conceived in sublime Indifference to
the fact that the great business of
government is being run at loss
and that each one of these projects
increases the deficit of the govern
ment, and consequently the burden
to be thrown upon the great body
Of people, whether the deficit be met
by increasing taxes or by floating
additional loans"

cit is covered by deferred INSTALL
ments of the Victory Loan, payable
Within the fiscal year. l have said
that there need be no more Liberty
loans. But | say to you in all
solemnity that if a prompt and i'm
mediate halt is not called to this
great peril there must be another
Liberty loan, and you gentlemen
will have to go out to the people Of
the United States and call upon
them to subscribe for bonds, the
proceeds of which are to be given
away to the we'll and strong young
men that you and I and the Ameri-
can people know went out in a
spirit of 'unselfshness, not one of
self-seeking, to fight for their coun-
try. You may ask the old men and
the widows, the school children, the
rich and the poor, who responded to
the call of their country to the num-
Der of twenty millions during the
period of the war, to respond again
to this call for donation. | hope I
shall never shrink from the per-
Torrance of any public duty, yet l
do not covet the task Of making such
an appeal, and I shall not willingly
be party to offering this affront to
the generous, heroic, unselfish army
and navy Of America that saved the
freedom of the world.
"The Congress may propose to
pay this gift in bonds themselves,
but that should not fool any one. If
bonds are given away to the soldiers
the issuance in that manner of those
bonds will depress the prices of ex-
listing bonds SO gravely as to imperil
the credit Of the United States and
force additional sacrifices from the
twenty million people who partici-
pated in financing the war, in pro-
viding the pay, food and munitions
which made it possible for our
splendid army to contribute deci-
sively to the great victory"
With this warning Of the posi-
