COMMON SENSE NEEDED

Coupled with the hue and cry about excessive taxes
and retrenchment in budgets of both and county all
that is needed is little and it appears to
close analysis of the situation revals that there not
much to howl about ohe big taxpayers would
have us believe.
Take, for instance, the Cocise county budget which
Bsbee and Douglas interests attacking, claiming that
it far exceeds former budgets They have not, however
budget law passed by the last legislature which pro
vldeS that department exceed II quota budget
ed With this in view each department of both county and
state government take it, has budgeted up far
they think will provide for their necessary expenditures
during the coming need with the result that in COchse
county this years budget only exceeds last years by
5000 In past years the officials have budgeted with the
end in view that THEY COULD EXCEED their budget
il conditions made and that this has been done
shown that in the 1890 fiscal this countvs budg
cted expenditure S07071 while actual expenditures
S5.9l212 for the general fund.- overraf Of
$SS4I72 In the 192021 fiscal year the Overdraft
S4560567. the gudgeted amount having been 40,
while actual expenditures slS. 132l6. This year
the budgeted for this county is 37,00145
4113075 less than actual expenditures last year. and
ment overdlaw its Ia view Of this
for hystercal yelling for retrenchment All
taxpayers this year realize pretty hard hit. but
this is for illogical Of the county
budget.
4 little is all that is needed, and we
hope that when the supervisors Monday
slider the budget that only will prevail be-
tween all concernd.

SPEECH OF SENATOR ASHURST UPON THE
CONFUSION OVER ASSESSMENT WORK

The Engineering and Mining Journal Of New York
prints the following editorial which VII prove OF interest
to readers:
When the law granting six months grace for the per-
Torrance of 1920 assessment work on mining CLAIMS was
signed December 81 last by President Wilson, lts mean
ing seemed perfectly clear Yet twice within the last week
have been informed by correspondents at Wallace
Idaho, and at Phoebe Nevada that much confusion has
arisen in their districts conflicting ftoctons since
June 80. The law reads:
THAT period within which work may be performed
Improvements made for the year 1920 upon ninln"
claims as required under Section 1924 OF the Revised
Statutes of the United States is hereby extended to and
including the first day of July. 1921 that work done
improvements made upon any mining claim IN the nted
States Alaska before July l. 1871 snail have the
same effect as if the had been performed within thu
calendar year Of 1920 Provided that this act shall not in
any way change modify the requirements Of existing
laws the work to be done Improvements made upon
mining claims for the year 1871
This extension of time and all the discussions in
gress pertaining TO it given the widest publicity IN
the press throughout the country Ct many apparently
made relocations j clock midnight June
80 had struck apparently taking il for granted that the
claims were omen to such relocation beginning July l. In
der the law quoted above however the old locations
valid and including July J. so that reocatlons made
before July claims benefiting by the period Of
invalid. Hence the conflict and the confusion arising
when many claims Illegally relocated July /, were
again relocated with perfect gality the following day
by different locatols. The law is clear this point bow
ever and there Is chance at Litigation tn those 10
first 10 relocate.
Besides such cases neer are those wheer claims We're

holder may remain in possession under Section 1924 Of
the Revised Statutes. provided he continues his work
without interruption until completed. As 10 this VAL
lace correspondent says:
''The Impression TO be quite general that the
law extending the time carries this provision also and
it believed that many claim have acted upon that
assumption and engaged in doing work
when the extended time expired 1t will perhaps require
court decision determine the intent of the law but the
wording OF the act indicates that the intent OF con-
gress to require all assessment work to be completed
before July l. Following the provision quoted above the
law says that work done improvements made upon
any mining claim in the United States Alaskaf be-
fore July J. 1921 shall have the effect the
bod been performed within the calendar year of 1926
There is nothing there indicate that congress
plated the doing Of assessment work after the expiration

HALF LOAF OF NO BREAD

In times when incomes shrinking and when many
industries have either reduced suspended their divi
dends. the fellow with the Get rich quick scheme has
his innings. Men with small savings which they have
vested in good securities yet which paying less
income, easily led to invest in enterprise which
promises big but which usually makes no returns
except TO the promoter.
The with small amount Of money cannot afford
Speculate. Specuatons always includes the chance of
loss and the with little cannot afford risk it. The
with large take the chances but he
rarely does he looks very carefully after the investments
he makes.
Better stick 70 the good bonds stocks though
the income NAV small Better have half loaf than
bread and il is reasonably certain that the half loaf
will grow full before many months. Business has
turned the il is the upgrade pulling steadily.
Stocks bonds reputable that have paid good
dividends IN the past VIII be good again-keep them.
