ATTORNEY GENERAL $ OFFICE REFUSES ID
 BE GOAT ANY MORE

Tired of being the .hollowed horned
 rumin2nt," or, more vulgarly speaking.
 the goat" the attorney generals office
 Saturday passed a number of more or less consequential and 'inconsequentia bucks back to the various county at ! torneys throughout the state and an nounced that henceforth said attorneys
 must help to finish what they start.
 The occasion for those crool words
 arose yesterday when the court called
 Assistan- Attorney General Louis B. l Whitney up on the carpet and then called him down, court attache being sent to Whitney's office to bring him ID. The incident was in reference to case in which the attorney generals cffice was not ready to proceed when the case was called on the calendar as scheduled. The following statement is submitted by the attorney general . to ali attorneys or others who are in terested.
 That the attorney generals office will no longer bear the brunt of failure of lawyers. who are counsel in cases in which the state or counties are in tereSted. in the supreme court. to file abstracts of record and briefs within | the time provided by the law and by | the rules of the supreme court is evil dent from q statement made at the attorney generals office. In all crim- inal cases which have been appealed anu where the appeals have not been diligently prosecuted, and briefs filed
 within the time required by law, the attorney general will at the expiration of the time for filing briefs by opposing counsel files motions in the supreme court asking that said cases be sub
 mitted upon the record. and in all civil cases which are appealed from judg-
 ments in favor of the state motions i will be filed asking that same be dis
 missed for want Of prosecution The attorney general in proper cases
 will stipulate with lawyers having
 cases before the high court for addi- | tional time within which to file ab-
 stracts of record and briefs. but if the i opposing attorneys fail to ask for stip-
 ulations the attorney general will ask | that the cases be submitted or that | tEe appeals be dismissed as the circum- l stances may require.
 This drastic move on the part of the attorney general is brought about | by reason of the fact that the supreme
 court does not look with much favor
 upon allowing appeals to remain on the supreme docket and be carried from
 term to term where proper diligence
 is not shown in the prosecution of the i same"

 s. A. Metten: T have always been in favor of concrete roads. Concrete makes a splendid permanent road; in fact, it is the only road which may be considered standard and permanent in this part of the country
 Charles B. Christy: This road mat ter is a very important subject and one to which we should give careful consideration. I am in favor of the best-not a type of road which would require rebuilding in a short time-'
 G. H. Adams: 'I am in favor of solid, substantial construction I am in favor, too, of proceeding as fas as we can with the best. and finishing the job later. I would be in favor of less mileage and better roads,
 Frank Alkire: T think a, concrete road is the only type of road to build. A loose road would require rebuild ing, or at least a big upkeep in three or four years. Concrete roads, with a light coating of asphaltum, are what favor. A few roads. if need be, but let them be of the best materials
 A. G. Baldwin: 'I am in favor of a permanent highway
 pr. kimbalI Bannister: I'm for concrete roads. i think these are the best highways. In spite of the fact that we may have to cut down the pro-
 
 this type for Maricopa county. Most of us, I think, have seen the fallacy of the other type of construction.'
 E. L. Caldwell: "I am in. favor of permanent roads
 Shirley Christy: T am in favor of permanent highway system, but presume the highway commission has . selected something that will be per- manent.''
 E. D. Duncan: Personally, I dc think anything but a concrete road will stand the wear. I don't see how we can figure on anything but a con- crete base. I would urge going ahead with concrete as far as the money will go. We would certainly lose on the other types of road.
 V. H. Gammil: ''I feel that we can not afford to build anything but the Ismost substantial roads. We certainly cannot afford to build road that will rapidly depreciate. I do not like to criticize public officials. They are ir a better position than myself to know the situat ton. But as a, taxpayer I dc not think we can build a road which will not be permanent. I am not prepared to say what is the best road, but from reading on the subject, and judging | from the opinions of others, I should i say that concrete was the best ma- ! terial.';

HOW TO MAKE GOOD
Told by John D. Rockefeller
Reported by B. C. Forbes Editor of Forbes Magazine

"The most important thing for young man starting life is to establish a credit-a reputation. character. He must inspire the complete confidence of others.
 .The hardest problem all through my business career was to obtain enough capital to do all the business l wanted to do and could do, given the necessary amount of money. You must establish a credit (character) before you can hope to have people lend you money. a-
 The first large bank loan I received it was $2000, a big sum in those days was granted me only because the head of the bank made himself fa- miliar with my mode of life. my hab its, my industry. and learned from my former employers that was d young man who could be trusted.
 Nowadays young men-and others want to have too much done for them. They want to be presented with bonuses and to receive all sorts of con sessions.
 TO get on young men should study their business thoroughly: work care fully, accurately. and industriously; save their money. and then either be- come partners by buying a share of the business or go out and form a business of their.own
 They must be self reliant. They must not expect to have things handed them for nothing. They must make themselves strong by becoming able. brainy workers. by establishing a credit and by accommodating, every dol lar they can save after doing their full duty to society.
 The way business is conducted now it is easy for a man to buy shares in it and thus participate in the profits.
 AS for opportunities, there are ten today for every one there was 60 years ago. There were then few opportuni- ties and very scanty means of taking advantage of them. Now large oppor- tunities constantly spring up every where and we have a wonderful cur rency and credit system for enabling people to take hold of them.''

done in an efficient and expert man ner.
 Is Fireproof Structure
 The McKean plant is fireproof from front office to the disinfecting. room It is constructed of brick and con crete throughout. High. large sky lights afford splendid light to the workers inside.
 When clothes or other articles to he cleaned or dyed are first brought into the shop they are put in large drum. which revolves rapidly, first to one side and then the other. This drum is heated to temperature Of 210 degrees and through this process the clothes are perfectly disinfected. the method being the most sanitary and thorough known to science.
 Following the disinfecting process, the garments are placed in a revolv- ing drum containing the gasoline solu tion with other cleansing chemicals. through which they pass until thor oughly cleansed When they are fin isked. the garments are placed in an extractor. which reVolves so rapidIy that all the gasoline is thrown out or the clothes by centrifugal force and goes out through holes in"the side and runs out through a pipe under the floor.
 Gasoline Is Distilled
 All gasoline, once used. is redis titled before again being used. Me kean's is said to be the only plant possessing d gasoline distilling plant.
 When the clothes have been taken out of the extractor they must then be returned to the revolving drum so that the gasoline oder may be re- moved. This done, the clothing is in- spected by the vigilant eye of the 'spotter," stains removed by chemists wherever necessary, and then they are ready for the pressing room.
 The public is cordially invited to in spect the plant of the McKean Dye works. Visitors will be shown over the establishment by one of the mem bers of the firm. who will carefully explain the various processes through which the clothes pass.
