WARNING ID VOTERS 0N COUNTY D|vl-
 SION MEASURE

Whether or not the small, but ex- tremely wealthy, mining and agricult- ural districts in the six richest coun- ties in Arizona are to be given legal right to seperate from their present counties and become independent counties will be decided by the vote on the county division, measure at the general election.
 The proposed new law governing the creation of counties, which will appear as 30S and 309 on the ballot, would amend the present state laws so as to take away from every county as whole the right to vote on coun- ty division and give the right to vote only to any particular section that might desire to withdraw.
 The only district Sin the entire state supporting the county division meas use to any extent is Miami, which has for six years been planning to with draw from Gila~ county with about 80 percent Of that county's total val uation. The question of dividing Gila county this way was decisively voted down six years ago, so the county division measure was proposed and drawn by county divisionists in Miami for the purpose of taking away from Gila county. and every other county. the right to vote on county division.
 The State Anti-County Division As sociation. which has led the oppcsi- ,tion to the measure, has issued the following warning to voters of Ari- zona:
 You now have the right to vote on county division whenever the ques tion may come up. If the county division measure should be voted a law the ballot will be taken away from the people as a whole of every county. Unless you and your neigh bors vote NO on 309 you are liable to have your constitutional right to vote taken away from you"

HUNT AT SIAM
 WRITES INTERESTING LETTERS

with ancient looking halberds.
 We were ushered into large TO. tunda. Our hats were left on a table Then we turned to the right, mounted a few more stairs and came into an other long room, with lofty windows along one side. Between the win dows were sort of niches in which stood knights Tn armour. (Without the knights themselves, of course.) Along the other side of the long room, or passage, there was a row of beauti- ful marble pilolars, and beyond them "a large room. At the end of the cor ridor stood nine chamber1ains, ra- ther. great nobles, resplendent in rich dress and ablaze with orders on their breasts.
 Suddenly folding doors opened as if by unseen hands, and walked into the presence of the only despotic monarch left in this world. And, as beftting the reception of an envoy from the greatest republic on earth he was dressed very simply in a long frock coat. The Prince D, who is the head of the foreign office presented me and retired to the rear Of the room while read to the king, as estiquette requires, my brief speech and he re- piled in Siamese in like manner. When this ceremony was done he smiled and we sat down and had our little talk, for the king, you should know. speaks perfect English. He is short of stature, like all Siamese, and is quite plump. He is about the size of Mulford Winsor and he impresses one as being a real chap. He is king who has done much for his people in spite of handicaps, and who will very likely do much more for them as time progresses.

The prince died some three months or so ago and his body has been resting in a golden urn waiting to be cremated ac cording- to the Siamese custom. I find this place, very interst:ng and fascinating in may ways, but after all there is not much excitement for us, there being only AT Americans in this city of S00,0o0- souls The 47 might add are mighty fine folks and make up in quality what they lack in num- bers.

TWO CHARGES FILED AGAINST ". fl.
 MOON

A mild sensation was created in Court House. circles last week when it became known that B. V. Horton had appeared in the Justices Court of Judge Address and swore out com plaint for the arrest ol W. H. Moon, County Supervisor, charging him with embezzlement and burglary. The charges, according to MT. Horton, grew out of the occupancy of the furnished dwelling owned by MT. Hor- ton in Hills Addition. It is alleged in the complaint that on or about the 23rd day of June of this year w. H.. Moon was then and there the entrust- ed tenant by E. V. Horton and that the following personal property-Sl- verware, bed quilts, linen, bed blank cts, books, sofa pillows and other household furnishings did then and there, on or about the 23rd day O, June. 1920 at Clifton in said Green7 lee County, wilfully and unlawfully embezzle convert and appropriate same to his own use not in due and lawful execution of his said trust as said tenant. It appears that MT Moon for the past year or more prior to June 23rd had rented the furnish ed dwelling of MT. Horton and. accord ing to the statement of MT. Horton, when MT. Moon vacated the premises he caused to be packed a number of his (Horton's) household effects. After swearing out the warrant last week MT. Horton secured search warrant and proceeded to the ware house of the s. and s. Bottling Works where the boxes alleged to contain his articles were stored. The boxes were opened and it is alleged that some of the articles claimed by MT. Horton were discovered therein. MT. Moon was arraigned before Justice Address on Friday last and waived preliminary examination and was bound over under bond of $500.00 in each case to the next term 'of Court. MT Moon stated to a representative of the Era that he was simply thund- erstuck when he was served with the warrants and that he had no know ledge whatever that any of the arti- '.cles claimed by MT. Horton were among his effects.

AR|z. BOARD DENIES RAISE IN RATES
 ID RAILWAYS :
Commission Says Cause for Increase
 Has Not Been Shown
WOULD CLOSE MANY MINES IN
 STATE

Phoenix, Oct 25.-The Arizona cor poration today issued an order deny ing the application recently made by the railroads operating in Arizona for an increase in intrastate freight rates passenger and pullman fares and milk and baggage rates. The railroads sought to obtain increase within the state corresponding to the increased rates on interstate shipments granted by the interstate commerce commits sion.
 Tn only six states, it was said, have the railroads been denied intrastate rate increases on application. In these cases the practice has been to appeal to the enter-state commerce commission to order the higher in trastat rates in effect over the order adding that one such case was being threshed out in the federal court
 Hearing on the railroads applica tion was held before the state corpora tion commission here September IS.
 Commissioner F. A Jones stated today the railroads had made no showing justifying the application as required by constitutional and statut- ory law.
 Would Close Mines
 We have no option in the mat ter,'' said Commissioner Jones'. Tn our opinion, after reviewing the testi- mony of some fifteen representatives of the largest shipping industries in the state, 9 per cen, increase in freight rates. par ticu1arly on ore, would prohibit the movement of ore and force the closing down of many mines in the state.''
 The railroads asked for a 9 per cent increase in freight rates, 20 per cent in passenger fares, 50 per cent Pullman surcharge and 20 per cent in crease in rates on milk and excess baggage.

P|TTMAN LAUDS
 SENATOR SMITH
Campaign, Manager Gives High Praise
 To The Arizona Statesman

Phoenix, Oct. 25-That United States Senator Mark Smiths reputa- tion as statesman par excellence is not by any means confined to his own state, is proved by the following statement, just received by wire from U. S. Senator Key Pittman of Ne vada, who is manager of the Western Campaign of the Democratic national committee with headquarters at San Francisco. The Telegram was re- ceived by Judge w. l.. Barnum of Phoenix.
 "Vn my strenous service as west ern manager in behalf of Cox and Roosevelt, I have not forgotten Ari- zona, My duties do not call upon me to campaign for us senator's but I re- alize the vital importance to the peo- pie of Arizona and to the country, of the election of Senator Mark Smith.
 Arizona and the West never had a truer or more influential friend. For 30 years he has fought for it's people and their interest his heart and his sympathies have always gone out to the weak and the poor, and to those who am the poor, and to those who who are striving to rise everywhere. He has more friends than any man in the Senate
 Through his long, able and faith ful services, he has risen to the top of the most powerful committee in the Senate. as member of the Fore ign Relation committee he has con- trolling influence in the Mexican sit uation. As a ranking member of the Public Lands committee he is entitl- ed to be on every conference com mittee, and though his power can pro- tect the rights of the West, and mold Western legislation.
 ''He stands high on the Committee of irrigation of arid lnads, which en- ables him to look out for special le- eislation for Arizona In addition to these, he is a member of the great committee on appropriations, which has charge of the appropriations for irrigation, for mining, and for nearly every governmental activity of the state.
 tIt would be absolutely impossible for new Senator to get on any of these committees for several years For this reason alone the election of any other man would greatly weaken the. influence of the state and worf against it's development.
 'MarG Smith is a poor man. He has honestly, able and untiringly giv en every ounce of his mind and body to the exclusive service of his state a poor Democrat has a hard fight everywhere this year. The Democra tic party is without means, and the Republican party ses-ns to have noth ing but money. I am satisfied, though that Marks friends will stand by him and successfully mee. the Cppositio' and successfully meet the opposition of all the money the other side car pile into the campaign. I know that the people of Arizona will not fail tc elect him.

HEARING IF CLIFTON WATER RATES
 POSTPONED

The results of the hearing held last week before Corporation Commission CT Johnson at the City Hall was a postponement of consideration of the water rates to be charged consumers in Clifton on meter basis. This postponement was brought about by mutual agreement between the Town Council and the Clifton Water and Improvement Company to the effect that the Water Company would pro 'ceed to install 250 meters in the Town of Clifton under the direction of the Corporation Commission, and that after these meters have been in use for period of three months then the Commission will take up the matter of fixing meter rates. It has been the claim of the Water Company that their desire to install meters in Clis- ton was not for the purpose of in- creasing their revenue, but was for tNe sole purpose of conserving the pre-
 sent water suply. by the installation of 250 meters, when are to be read by the Town Engineer, it will furnish the desired information as to the amount of water an ordinary family consumes, and with these facts at hand the Com mission will be enable to fix fair meter charge. Having entered into this agreement, the Com mission went into the investigation of better fire protection on Chase Creek, better water supply in the same neighborhood. and also in North Clifton and East Side, and the same on shannon Hill. The Commission also heard testimony regarding the charge for fire hydranrs in Clifton. The testimony from residents of Chase Creek showed that the service last Summer, since the installation of new unit at the pumping, plant up the river, had afforded some relief as compared to previous years, but not sufficient The contention of the Water Company is that by the install 1ation of meters in the Town this diff ificulty would be overcome, put that IS problematical, and the suggestion was made to the Commission by Attorney Lynch, who represented the water consumer, that an auxiliary tank should be placed in that part of Town, and that the two inch pipe line should be increased to four inches
