Here Gnd There n Arizona

PRESCOTT, May 1.-Preparations
 are under way in Coconino, Pima and Maricopa counties to separate Yava- pal from approximately S1,15O 900. As an entering wedge, Coconino is ar ranging to ping suit against this coun- ty for $15O,OOO.
 | The movement was launched at Phoenix recently at a quiet conference between representatives of the three counties. c. B. Wilson, of Coconino county is said to have been chosen to draw up plan of action which will be submitted to the representatives of the complainant districts for ap- proVal. Once the procedure is sane toned, litigation will be commenced immediately, though in all probability. at least year will elapse before the suit is brought to trial.
 The basis for the litigation dates back to the time Coconino was ere ated out of Yavapai county, At this time, the former county assumed Sl5O,OOO indebtedness in form of rail way bonds on which interest has been kept up to the present time, covering long span of years. Later, the gov ernment gave the state a grant of land to be sold, the proceeds to be used to wipe out this indebtedness. At least, that is the understanding the legal representative of Coconino has.
 Yavapai received this money which was expended for other purposes, Pima and Maricopa counties enter, tain the belief that they should have shared in the profit accTuing from the disposal of the tract, and Coco nino is positive that the $15O,OOO de- ficit charged against her should have been expunged. The total claims of the trip aggregate considerably over a million dollars.

NEW ROAD APPoRrIoNMENr

PHOENIX, May That Arizona should have her share of the federal aid road funds in the proportion that she furnished soldiers, rather than based on the anticipated figures of the census of 1910, is the contention of Thomas Maddock, state engineer.
 MT. Maddock has written a letter to the Arizona senators and congressman, urging that they work for an amend ment at the special session that will put the distribution on a better basis for this state, and calllng attention to the fact that soldiers were furnished on basis of 409, ,203 population, while the road fund is apportioned in part, under a census of 204,354.

LARGE cATrLE SHIPMENT

GLENDALE, May l. = One of the largest shipments of cattle that ever left Glendale was shipped from here last Saturday. It. was a special train for Kansas City, consisting of 24 cars. w R. Bratton is in charge of the train. The cattle that were shipped were some that were fed and fattened in the valley during the winter. The ship ment was made up of IA cars loaded by NoTtOns; five cars loaded by Cow den brothers, two cars loaded by Dr. Corners of the Conner ranch, two cars by c. c. Green of Sullivan & Green, and one car by w. H. Mcclure. It was all prime stuff and should command the best prices.

PHOENIA, May l. = The $100,OOO bond issue for the erection of addi- tiOnal school buildings in Phoenix dis trict No. l carried yesterday by an overwhelming majority, though by no stretch of imagination can it be said by an overwhelming vote Though the polls were open all day there were only 51 votes cast, 47 for the bonds and 4 against them. Those figures are probably representative of the senti- ment in the district At 1 o'clock a grand total of IT persons had regis tered their will
 This kind of vote is nothing new in Phoenix school bond elections The record vote, and it was cast on the biggest bond proposition ever submit ted to the electorate, was 1O5 votes.

The Problem of Gold Supply.


 That the purchasing power of gold has decrea sed in proportion to the in crease of other commodities is a familiar truth that is iterated in the report of the special commission ap pointed by Secretary Lane to investi- gate and make recommendations,
 The committee. headed hv My. Jennings. gold mining engineer and consulting engineer of the bureau of mines. finds that the decrease in gold production is serious and is due prin cipally 10 the increase in operating cost which in the most favored quartz mines has increaSed from fifty seven cents in 1917 to produce dollar of gold to seventy cents last year.
 It finds that the industry has been seriously injured by the war and has been discriminated against for the protection and benefit of the trea asluN in that the export of gold and even the internal free trade in rhe m etal was Interrupted. The elimination of the excess profits tax on gold mining, thereby encoura ging a larger output, is suggested. This has been done in the revenue bill now in conference.

The German AuStJians.
(N CIV \ ork Sun)

In declaring that France would not Austria and Germany, Foreign Min istor stephen Pichon very likely de- Scribed the position upon this ques- ton which will be taken by the other allied nations There has been SO far apparently no authoritative statem ent from either Tta ly or Great Britain but the unofficial uttcranceS from London and Rome have been to much the same effect as the announcem ent by M. Pichon. The new German for eign minister, Count von BrockdorH- Rantzau takes a strong exception to the attitude of M. Pichon, declaring that if the Entente really wants a lasting peace it would be una bIe to oppose the fraternal union of Ger many and German Austria"
 Count von Brockdorsf- Rantzau gives as one of his req sons for opposing tn stand taken by M. Pichon the fact that the Germans speaking people would have no place in the new world in the upbuilding of which they would like to cola borate." What is dently meant by German Austria, is, roughly outlined, the territory horder ering on southern Bavaria and the province of Lower Austria. in which Vienna is sit uated. The Germsn-sp eskihg poUu- latfon of Austria, according to the last censlis was 9,5o0 0A0, or third of the total popuIa ton. Of these, how ever, fully 3,500 900 will be included in the new Czech o-t$ioVak state. Aus tra- will also lose considerable Ger man speaking population if Ga4icia becomes a part Of Poland.

Austria will lose by this readjustm en t 6 large part Of her rioh agricultural land and much of the resources in coal and minerals which form erly were the ma ains+ay of the industries of Vienna German Austria, in fact. would be one of the poorer and less important of the sta tes built tip in the former Austro-Hun8sa rian monarchy.
 Despite this, il is moi clear that the German Austrians reailr desire the protection Of North Germany in their state bnildins. The interest of Prus- sia has been in the past expensive 10 Austria.
