The Coconino Sun says: ''If the present legislature has the temerity to pass the omnibus road appropriation bill it will go to show they have the same idea of economy the democratic adminis- tration used during the war. A million dollars for state roads at the present tune when the state is worse than flat broke and peO- pie hunting for some friend to loan them enough money to pay their taxes does not sound we'll and will not set we'll on the aver age voter just at this time. It is good to have good roads, but it is better to have good Judgement at this time. "

SKYLINE PHILOSOPHY.
By DON MARIUs

] Durlng the past year or so we were led to believe that the boot logging industry was carried on in the country and the small pro- vincial towns only.
 Now if we are to give credence to the big city dailies, New York City officials are having the fight of their political lives trying to squelch the back alley saloons and blind pig"
 | Not many moons ago the writer expressed himself very forcably and very bitterly against all forms of bootlegging.
 We must now be classed with the wise, as we have changed our mind.
 Bootleggers are becoming pub- lie benefactors. With their mix ture of formaldehyde and sheep dip. which they sell for the real old stuff, and which the half crazed soak is buying literally and swallowing avidly. they are rapidly killing off the old booze fiends and thus cleaning theslums of it's slums.
 Soon there will be no one left but the teetoolar. So we are led to say. God be praised. Go to it old bootlegger."
 There lives at Mt. Vernon, H.. a preacher who evidently heard the praying of an Ass and mis- took it to be the voice of the Lord calling him to preach, who has recently got himself into a peck of trouble
 His church paid him fifty bucks a month to tell them something they knew just as much about as he did.
 Where is there a preacher who can live on fifty dollars month and do nothing six days -out of the week.
 This preacher, who was above his calling, took a plunge in fren- zied finance and stole two hun dred thousand dollars of regis tered mail. Now he is in jail.
 Yes, he missed hIs calling He should have gone to Wall Street and taken a course in High finance where he could have learned how to steal millions and still keep out of the penitentiary and be sent to congress.
 Another interesting lesson in phychology comes from Illinois.
 A woman with more religious zeal than sense, went on a fast to force her husband to become a christian.
 The fast was a dismal failure. The husband sued for divorce. claiming this was only one of many damphool stunts she had pulled off in their eighteen years of married life. If the press news are correct, she recently consumated the only sensible act of a life time. She died.
 The foibles and follies of hum- an kind are amusing when they are not disgusting.
 Now comes a aglinting thread of gold among the shadows.
 Russell H. Conwell the orator preacher. now 77 years of age, has devoted his entire life's earn ngs, amounting to eleven millions of dollars, to the education of de- young men and women.
 No matter how sOrdid and mer- ,enary the average home stacks ID, the Divine spark still burns n the hearts of men and the les sons taught on the shores of 5allilee are not wholly lost.

We were fully pre- ired for this
move by the communi Is themselves.
For long time they had warned
us through public announcements.
mass meetings and their press.
The action was undertaken after
the Silesian plebescite. when the
government was having trouble with
the Poles in addition TO the repara-
tion question, in hopes that we would
be too occupied TO offer sufficient re-
sistance TO prevent spread Of the up
risings throughout Germany, with
consequent fall Of the present ad-
ministration. We were also informed
that great quantities Of dynamite
and munitions were being smuggled
from central Germany into other
parts OF the country, preparatory TO
general uprising. II was to pre-
vent this and restore the authority
Of the state that we decided to dis
patch our safety police into the af-

Reports Of the formation OF a

prices. Although this land is exempt,
he said. when the city wanted a
harbor front II was required to pay
$4,000 an acre for some OF this
property.
Senator Robertson referred TO the
fact that because Of no tax being
paid on this property every other
property owner naturally has 10 ray
more tax. He remarked. "the time
is coming when this State will have
to go out Of the railroad and bank
business
Il absolutely agree with you"
Senator Short remarked.
"No you don't. you vote different"
replied the Wilmington Senator.
Continuing. Senator Robertson
said he had respect for corporations
as long as they. do their part He
said the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany owns some Of the marsh land
and spends more paying agents to
keep from paying tax ana for lobby
lists at the Legislature each session
than the tax would amount to.
Senator Snort said he would ask
Senator Robertson not TO make such
a statement unless he could prove
1t.
I'VE all know they are here every
session." Senator Robertson retorted.
Senator Robertson said there were
others besides the railroad and men
toned the Cherry Island Marsh Com
pany. The argument is made, he
said, that they kccp the banks up
TO keep the water out but added
they protect IL from nothing but tax.
He referred 10 one marsh land own
er who admitted before the COM
mittee when there was a hearing
on the bill that the land should be
taxed and he. Senator Robertson,
said is the only man who has been
fair about it.
Senator Robertson said some OF
the owners Of this land are men Of
wealth and that he was sorry that
Wilmington had within her bordee
rien who will stoop TO such a low
thing.
Senator Palmer wanted to know
II Wilmington provided any improve
ments and conviences for the land
and the Wilmington Senator replied,
"just as much as for thousands Of
acres OF other land that is taxed.
Senator Bennett said he did not
think Il should be taxed until inn
proved.
Clarence c. Killen, former secre-
tary of the Chamber Of Commerce
OF Wilmington, at the request Of
Senator Robertson was given the
privilege of the floor and stated that
the chamber had endorsed the bill.
He said that while the land owners
thought they should be exempt he
felt that the citizens of Wilmington
were unanimous that the land should
be taxed.
A substitute which would have al
lowed a haif-rate assessment on the
land was defeated after which the
original was killed by the vote again.
Senator Robertson said IL had
been stated that the bill had been
here a number Of times and thac he
desired to add that should he come
10 the Legislature for fifty years he
would bring the bill every time.
"Give IL TO Mr.. Lutz, ne Is a hold
over" Senator Short said.
II will accept the suggestion and
bring It down." Senator Lutz replied.
