WAS GOOD BUSINESS
 PARTNER-N NOT WIFE

That her husband looked upon her as good business partner but an unde- sirable wife was the substance of the testimony offered by Mrs. Gertrude Trent in the divorce court yesterday.
 Mrs. Trent stated on the witness stand in Judge Lyman's court that her husband was willing to go "50-50" with her in real estate transactions, but not in their domestic relations. Finally he offered her $500 to call it off and deserted her. The desertion occurred in october, 1917, three months after the marriage, which took. place in this city.
 Mrs. Trent is well known in Mesa as a business woman. She has man aged an hotel there for a number of years and since her husbands deser- tion has been compelled to again earn her living in this manner.
 In granting the decree the court gave the plaintiff the right to resume her former name, Gertrude McDaniels.

division and four cents per mile on it's Maricopa- Phoenix division, should not exceed four and three and one-half cents respectively; that the railroad companies involved secured, through federal courts, a restraining order pre- venting the reasonable rates found and declared by the commission from being effective, and;
 That before this issue was determ- ined the railroads were taken under federal control. the scrip rate pre- viously accorded in Arizona of two and one-half cents per mile was abolished and rates of four. five and six cents per mile were made effective resulting in an increase on main lines from two and one half cents to four cents per mile that the minimum passenger rate m Arizona plus war tax is now 4.32 cents per mile, an increase of 75 per cent over previous rates; that in many western states sueh as Montana, Wyoming. Idaho, etc, where physical and climatic conditions are more ad- verse to economical railroad transpor- tation rates have been in the past, and are at this time, three cents per mile. The only increase being the war tax increase of eight per cent, making a gross rate in such states of 3.24 cents per mile contrasted with rates of 4.32 cents per mile in Arizona.
 Whereas. your memorial respect fully urges and recommends that the excessive rates now imposed against the people of Arizona for passenger fares be abated and that Arizona be accorded rates at least equal advan- tageous to those made in other inter- mountain states to the north. where circumstances and conditions of trans portation are similar if not more diff ficult.

 The Memorial
 To Walker D. Hines. director gem eral Of the United States railroad ad- ministration.
 Your memorialist. the fourth state legislature of the state of Arizona, re- spectfully represents:

 Found Rates Excessive
 That the corporation commission did. on May IS. June 10 to 10. and August 26. 1914 and again on March 1 to 9. 1916 conducted public hearings. and made full investigation of the reason ubleness of passenger rates in Arizona. and by its order entered May e7. 1915. found that any rates charged by the main lines Of the Atchison.
