CAN'T ABUSE PRESS
 AND GET AWAY WITH IT

Joe Mcbride, assistant attorney gep- eral, at the democratic conference n Phoenix last week, took occasion to attribute the inharmony of the delno- cratic party in the state to the fnct that the party had no support from the daily newspapers and only the help of a very few weeklies. The branding of the daily newspapers by some of the leaders of the party who have been directing the party welfare during the last half dozen years, as the reptile press" may to some ex- tent account for the trouble com plained of. Whenever politician or a party organization begins to at tempt to discredit the press then this politician or party is surely breeding trouble. Any newspaper is independ- ent enough to resent insult from the politicians who cannot get very far with the press in opposition.-Doug- las International.

FREIGHT RATES ..
 MAY BE CHANGED SOON

Prediction that the long fight of the west for a change in westbound freight rates would soon come to a successful termination was made to- day by Commissioner F. A. Jones of the Arizona corporation commission. He returned from Salt Lake City, where he attended with the inter mountain rates association of five day hearing conducted by the inter state commerce commission. Jones said he believed the commission had taken a favorable view of the repre- sentations made to it by the inter mountain association. He said grant ing of the changes in rates as sought would remove what he termed the tremendous commercial discrimination existing in favor of Pacific coast ter minals. He urged a system of zones 300 miles wide with graded rates ap- plicable to each zone.

DECIDE CASE IN
 FAVOR OF CAPTAIN INGALLS,

After dragging through the supe- rior court for six months, the con test between Capt. Walter s. Ingalls, and Col. Charles w. Harris over the adjutant generalship of Arizona was passed on in remarkably short space of time this week, when both Judge Stanford and Judge Lyman ruled in favor of Ingalls,.
 Captain Ingalls, was defendant in two cases, one a quo warranto pro- ceeding in Stanford's court, the other an injunction suit in Lyman's court. Judge Stanford rendered his decision when court first convened on Mon day, declaring that Ingalls, was en- titled to the office and that the com- plaint against him was dismissed.
 Attorneys Ryan, Pugh and Dial then proceeded to Lyman's court, where the injunction suit had been set for trial. Pugh immediately moved that the case be dismissed on motion of the plaintiff, because the cause of action had been eliminated by the de- cision in the other court and there was nc longer any issue.
 Judge Lyman refused to dismiss the cOiilpldlIlt anu dSheu tildt lile case Oe brought to trial at once. The plain tiff's counsel rested it's case without offering any evidence, and Captain Ingalls, was called upon the stand by Ryan. He answered a few questions that were put with the purpose of showing that he had been appointed by the governor as adjutant general June 13, and that previous to that ,ime Harris had held office Theye were no arguments by either attor- neys and Judge Lyman immediately gave judgment for the defendant and pronounced the interlocutory injunc- tioln made against Harris few weeks ago to be permanent.
 Attorney Pugh gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court on. both Judge Stanford's and Judge Lyman's decision s. Harris did not appear in court. The question of the "change box" containing several thousand dol lars said to be still under the control of Harris, was preached by Ryan, but was left unsettled unless it is in cluded in the written order to be signed by Judge Stanford.

LAPS PAY BIG MONEY
 TO LEASE ARIZONA LANDS

The lease is for three years and amounts to S11,00O for that length of time The new occupants will raise cantaloupes and other truck on the place. A peculiar feature of how land prices move is the fact that MT. Pew bought this same piece of land for the exact amount he secures from his three-year lease, $11 ,000.
