STATE ISSUES CALL FUR REDEMPT TION IF
 STATEHOUSE BONDS

A call for the redemption of $30.- 900 capitol building bonds has been issued by Raymond Earhart, state treasurer. This is the second lot to be redeemed in the past year and a half, the other call being for $2S,- 900. In 1898 bonds in the amount of $100.00o for the erection of the state house were issued for 50 years. the state reserving the right to retire all or any part after 1918.
 Mir. Earhart stated yesterday that the money with which the bonds are being redeemed has not been raised by taxation. as is the case with other bonds, but that Arizona, through the enabling act, was granted 100000 acres of land to be used for the re- demption of any bonds then out standing or that Lay be thereafter issued for the erection of legislative, judicial or executive buildings.
 "A portion of the bonds are now being retired with the proceeds from the sale and rentals of these lands" MT. Earhart declared. Tt is cer- tain that there will be 6 large sur plus left over after retiring the cap itol building bonds still outstanding.'
 Mir. Earhart pointed out that talk ing the average value of the lands sold prior to January 1, 1921. in com putting the value of the entire grant, the total amount which will be paid eventually into this particular fund. including the interest at per cent per annum on deferred payments. will be approximately S700,000.
 "The legislature of 1917 appro- priated s125,000 for the construction of an addition to the capitol and in 1919 an additional s30,000 was appro priated by the legislature" said MT. Earhart, in whose opinion the general fund should be reimbursed $155,O0O expended for the new addition in view. of the fact that that amount was raised by taxation. He has asked the opinion of the attorney general in the matter.

PULLED our HIS MusTACHE.
Bandits Method Induced Victim to
 Open Safe.

New York, Aug 17.-Steve Vas sassilopolous, who operates fifteen concessions at Brighton Beach, has a mustache almost as long as his name, and of which he is inordinately proud. Early this morning Stephen, etc, was awakened by four bandits who had forced entry to his main office and they beat him and forced him back upon the bed. The thieves were sup piled with roll of surgeons adhe- sive tape, two inches wide, and they used this tape, to plaster tightly Stephens mouth and eyes until he resembled an Egyptian mummy.
 Then, after tying him securely they went to work on his safe, but could not work the combination, SC they took the plaster strips off his eyes and ordered him to open the safe He demurred, so one of the bandits sat on the edge of the bed and began pulling out Steve's luxuriant mus taches, hair by hair, working on on' side only.
 When he could stand the pain n, longer, Steve opened the safe whicl the robbers footed and sped away i Steve spent an hour twisting out O his bonds and summoned the police He not only lost s2,100 in cash, bu will have to shave off his mustaehe as one side of it was pulled out.

RAILROAD COUCE
 SEEMS LONG LIVED
With Lines Returned to Owners le Months Back. 1900 People at Sf,- 100000 Year, Are Holding
 Over to Adjust Claims.

Washington, Aug. 18--The gov ernment returned all railway lines to their former private owners almost eighteen months ago.
 But the United States Railroad Ad- ministration, relic of wartime gov ernment railway control, continues to exist.
 It employees 1900 people. It IS costing American taxpayers $4,O00,- 900 year.
 The railroad administration justi- fies its existence by maintaining that it must settle hangover claims of the railways against the government.
 That is true. There are at least half a billion dollars of unadjusted claims to convince a hard-pressed taxpayer that it is necessary to main- tain anything ike so great a force to make this adjustment.
 Serving Two Masters.
 The officials of the present Rail- road Administration are, with few ex- captions, the same men who served on the administration during the war That means that practically all of them were or are officials of private railway lines.
 It is highly probable that persons in the Railroad Administration today are drawing public salaries for ad- justing claims of lines in which they are privately interested.
 The government gave up federal railway control in March, 1920, the Esch- -Cummins railway legislation be- ing passed at the same time.
 Under the Esch- Cummins bill the railways were guaranteed federal compensation for any losses they suf- fered in operation between March and September, 1920.
 In that period the railways lost roughly $631 100000, according to an estimate. They already have collect ed around $260,000,000 of this loss. Now they're trying to get the remain der $370,O00, ,000
 No Itemized Bills.
 The railways have not presented itemized statements showing exactly how they lost this enormous sum.
 And they have not promised that when the total sum is paid they will regard it as payment in full of the governments obligations under the Esch Cummins legislation.
 There is nothing to prevent the railways presenting fresh claims from year to year and collecting from the treasury annually of the money you pay as taxes and the none your children and children's children will pay.
 That offers almost boundless op- portunity for the railways to enrich themselves while they impoverish the taxpayers.
 Two steps, if taken immediately could cut off railway fund waste:
 l. The personnel of the Railroad Administration could be cut down leaving enough efficient officials and clerical aid to handle the adjustment of claims.
 2. A definite date could be set as the last day for the presentation of railway claims. If carrier does not present it's statement before that date. it should be barred from receiv- ing compensation at any time.
 This plan of settling railway claims rapidly was proposed by finance ex- perts of the last administration They suggested September 1, 1921, as the final date. On September 1, the lines will have been in private hands IS months.
