1t seems strange, but it is none the
less true, that under the constitution
of the United States an act of con-

terian minister Of Marion, S. c., can

paid the government two years ago
for property sold to him at auction,
but not delivered to him and actually
sold and delivered later at a higher
price to another person, says wash
Ington special to the Charleston News
and Courier.
The amount involved Is so small
that it Is an obvious fact that it might
cost the government more than S4.SO
to pay the debt by the elaborate pro-
cess of congressional legislation. But
the law Is the law, and this time 1t is
the fundamental, or constitutional law.
Representative p. H. Stoll intro
duced a bill about year ago Tor the
repayment Of the money to Mr.. Holia-
day, but he was unable to secure q
hearing on the measure before the .ad-
journment of the last congress, the ex-
PLANTATION being that there were so
many larger matters ahead of this one
on the calendar. Mr.. Stoll will rein
troduce the bill in the congress which
IS soon to meet and will endeavor to
"see it through" as qustion of prln-

Must Cut Cost of Operating State
 One Half Declares James 5. Douglas

amounted to $44LOOO, or about S5.23 per ton, including low grade and sili- cious ore. Not long ago in Yavapai county, MT. Douglas said they consid- cred themselves very lucky if they could get S10 ore, mine it, haul it in wagons. mill it and still net 8 per ton
 The result of the high taxation and the other costs of production is that the smaller mills have shut down. he declared, and unless some radical changes are made in the system of taxation MT. Douglas insisted, these mills will remain shut down.
 The people of the state have lost their sense of proportion and have no longer the proper perspective, MT.
 Douglas believes. The fact that it cost $5.000, 900 to run the state govern
 ment in 1919 and S1,000,000 in 1920 should be borne in mind, he declares for if the legislature should insist on voting for eXtravagant Improvements and unnecessary building during the year it is going to spell certain dis aster, he insists.

If the cost of running the state Of Arizona is not cut in half during the next year we are going to have very serious trouble declares James $. Douglas of Douglas owner of the United Verde Extension mine and prominent mining and business man Of Arizona.
 Mir. Douglas was in PhoenIx yester- day and is stopping at the Hotel Adams. He is here to attend a com mittee meeting Of the Arizona Tax payers association. of which he is a member. MT Douglas declares he is going to do everything in his power to bring about a more economical con duct of the states business.
 At the meeting Of the committee from the Arizona Taxpayers association Mr. Douglas represented the copper men and more particularly the United Verde Extension. He cites the fact that on the last shipment of copper to Europe, which was made during the first ten days of this month. they received 13.O4 cents per pound for something more than 400 tons.
 He declared it was his opinion the United Verde Extension can produce the cheapest copper in the state today but nevertheless that it cost it in 1918 ! 9.S cents per pound which does not in clue taxes, depreciation or depletion ot ! ore bodies. The tax per pound, not in cluding income and excess profits taxes, was IT cents per pound. In the old days. Mir. Douglas de

ADDITION n HOME
 FINISHED BY MARCH

IL was stated at the office of the commission on state institutions yes terdav that the new wing of the Pioneers Home would be ready for occupancy about March 1. It will add gS new rooms to the institution, with accommodations for 56 more pioneers. The legislature. however. will be asked to make an emergency appro- priatiou for the furnishing of the wing.
 More elaborate plans for an addi- ton to the institution had been made by the legislature two years ago and 90 sum was appropriated that would have enabled the construction of a larger wing. But on account of the rise in the price of materials the con tract would have absorbed more than the amount of the appropriation and have left nothing for the furnishing, which was intended to be covered by the appropriation.

''T THE DAUGHTER PAYS" DRAMA IF STRENGTH

And I learned about women from her"
 The theory of Kipling's poem is that a man can always learn something about the sex from any woman, no matter how much he may previously have known about the species. In "The Daughter Pays" the new picture starring winsome Elaine Hammer stein. which is now being shown at Mauk's Columbia theater. Osbert, Gaunt learns a great deal about Wo- men from Virginia Mynors. Among other things he finds that all women aren't selfish. shallow, loveless and money mad.
 Mrs. Bailie Reynolds, who wrote the story from which this picture was made, has achieved something very much out of the ordinary. While building up a set of very extraordinary circumstances, she has not made too great a demand upon credulity. nor is the action strained or unnatural. It treats the situation of a young girl marrying an old man. apparently for his wealth. in a new and seemingly original way.
 Gaunt marries Virginia because she is the daughter of the woman who, in his early life, turned him down for a richer man. He marries the girl for revenge, planning to make hel suffer keenly all through life, to pay the penalty of her mothers act. He believes Virginia is the same sort oi girl her mother was. But the girls sweet ways, her simplicity, and purity and her splendid spirit in making the best of a bad bargain, eventually wins her husbands love and brings the | happiness she deserves.

"The souaw Many at inc EIks

Before another crowded house at the Elks theater last night the Brandon Stock company repeated The Squaw Man." that2 intensely human play, with its frontier flavor, so attractive to a western audience. As on the opening night the players proved their strength to portray elemental human passions. Frequent applause, and what is more of a tribute. applause that was timely, expressed the apprecia- ton of the audience in clever charac- ter portrayals. As John Rosleigh and later, the "Squaw Man." Ray Brandon is splendidly effective. MT. Brandon has made a great impression with the patrons of the Elks with his former characters, but he has never been seen to better advantage than in "The Squaw Man" Marie Rich as the h. dian wife and mother gives a faithful characterization of the part and all the other roles are in very capable hands. The scenic equipment is ex- cellent and looks like a real big time production. Even In "The Souaw
 Man" the musical features have not been overlooked and there are some really catchy numbers put over bv Eddie Young, Marie Rich. George Banta, Jay Allard and Irene Noblett
 and the costuming of the American
 Beauty chorus is especially attractive
 and appropriate. Eddie Young almost

Only $9,17O Of $23,OOO AL lotted To Maricopa Go. Is Now Raised, Mayor h. forms Business Men Last Night

Ways and means of securing the Maricopa county quota of tho European Relief council fund were discussed at a meeting of the committee at the cham her of commerce last night. Only three pf g business men who, according to Chairman Plunkett. had pledged them selves to attend. were present.
 In contrast to the attitude of the ab- sentecs was the report of John p. Lopor that children of the grade schools had pledged SLOTS to tho fund, the pledges running from l cent Co Sl0 and averaging % cents for each pupil This is in addition to the amount raised at tho high school.
 Mayor Plunkett announced that Maricopa county now has obtained &9,- 170.59 of its S23,0O0 quota. and he called upon those present to suggest some plan by which the balance could be raised.

 For the final showings today William Russell in ''The Man Who Dared" holds the Hip screen. A story of the big redwoods country. The Man Who Dared" is a picture built on thrilling action and magnetic suspense. The romantic side of the production has been very well taken care of in the love story developed as the plot unfolds, and as the leading character, that of strong, sturdy lumberman. William Russell scores heavily. It is a picture that will appeal to all lovers of adven- ture yarns. and is proving a very much appreciated offering with the Hip clientele.
