CITY Clerks Office Is SWamped
As Result of Enormous
Court Business.
FINES NEARLY 100000
Night Court and Installment
System Add to Difficulties
in Collecting Penalties.

4 new record has been made for the
total amount. of fines and costs as
sessed in city court and collected by
the city clerk during 1922.
From Jan. /. 1922, until Dec. 10. the
total fines and costs reached E177.-
1E024, a larger amount than was col
lected during any previous year. 1t
was estimated by a deputy city clerk
that the total for the year would
reach s1S5. 600.
Following is the record Of city court
fines and costs in recent years: 1917
the total was S32,05S67; in 1918 it
reached s64.SS4.03; and in 1919 the
Total was S91.991.27. In the following
.ear, 1920. there was decrease in
stead of an increase and the fines and
costs were 2-9.1O9. However, Judge
Walter Pritchard in 1921 set a new
record. the total reaching S1O3,5 0O.10.
Judge Delbert 0. Wilmeth in his first
year on the bench has assessed fines
ind costs totaling SI77, 1924, up to
Dec. 70. and probably viii set a record
double that Of any previous year ex-
cept 1921. The collections of the city
clerks office during the last two
weeks have been $4,000
Schools Receive Money
OF the total Of S177,150.24 collected
this year by the city clerk. the State
receives for the school fund S101,-
91S.45; the State prosecutors fees
amount TO S44.366.89; docket fees
SIS ,604O9: city fines. s5.059.S0, and
city prosecutor $1,72494.
Each year the business OF the city
clerks office has increased greatly,
but the clerk has managed TO get along
with the same help as II 1917. when
the business amounted to only $50,
958.6T. The work is getting slightly
behind. as many Of the heavy fines
assessed now are stayed and their col
lection makes an enormous amount Of
work. The clerks office probably has
as many open accounts as the aver
age instaument house. Payment on
most of these fines is made on Sat
urdays and Mondays. and it keeps the
clerks busy in taking he payments
ranging from 81 TO s..
Many More Convictions
Thus far this year $50 persons
q pave been convicted in city court for
gviolatiu~ state laws, and 2,4O3 per
sons convicted for violating city ordi-
aances. During all Of 1921 there
were 5.5zt convicted Of violating State
laws and $40 Of violating city ordi-
uances.
Another thing which has increased
greatly the work in the city clerks
office is the Saturday night court, re-
Gently started by Judge Wilmeth. The
clerks point out most Of the cases
called in this court are continued IN
I'll Monday and therefore each case
requires q double Job Of bookkeeping
SATURDAY night court has also added
many hours work ON Saturdays for the
.!apIovss cI the clerks office. The
chief deputy clerk already had some
u51ht work. as it is dis duty to keep
the records Of the city council and re-
cord all ordinan .es passed by the
council.

Cause of Official Anxiety

A new bill sprung in the legis-
lature provides that the COVER
nor, attorney general, auditor
and secretary of state, county
officers and supervisors, shall all
hold office for four years. 1t is a
provision designed to keep in
office a set of officials who allowed
millions of the tax payers money
to be lost in speculative banks,
and will give them two years
more to make good on dehcien-
cies that would otherwise have
to be met when their present
terms expire and a successor ap-
pears to take up the reins. 1t is
openly stated that fully a mil
lion dollars of state and county
funds went fiewey by failure of
the Wickenburg bank and its
parent, the Central of Phoenix
bonds for which were approved
by officials now seeking to hold
over terms.

ticle in this issue from the

Man Proposes-God Disposes

Today there sits in Phoenix a
legislature, supposedly the repre-
sentatives of the people of Ari-
zona, friyolusly proposing amend
ments to the peoples constitution
at the behest of the paid hireIings
of the Wall street overlords.
Back home are the folks bent by
the disasters of the recent years
with this new burden confront
ing them, placed there by their
own government.
But thank God, Grant was
right Man proposes but God dis
posesl
The people may be down but
they are not out.
Before these amendments be-
come effective they must be sub
mitted to a vote of the people.
The spirit of the people of Ari-
zona will arise from the ashes Of
the war and defend their own at
the coming election. Silver Belt.

Arizona

You may rave of California, with her
fruit and summer skies,
You may speak of Honolulu as modern
Paradise,
Talk of Florida and Australia, of the
wonders that are there,
OF the golden opportunities that are
offered everywhere.
Distance seems to lend enchantment,
You NAV have your foreign cline
But here is where / make my home,
Arizona for mine.
Arizona, she's the grandest, most pro-
gressive State of all,
With her mineral wealth resources, her
streams, and mountains tall,
She can boast of natural scenery, and
climate unsurpassed,
Why, no State in the Union has the
Valentine" outclassed,
Her people are the finest that you'll
find in any land,
Honest, fearless, generous hearted,
ready with helping hand
To assist a fallen comrade, passing
cheer along the line,

for mine.

Dad" Gilbert, old timer of
Wickenburg and resident of
Arizona for over 81 years, has
been recommended for a life
term in the Arizona Pioneers
Home at Prescott, and may leave
for his permanent home there in
a short time. All the prelimin-
aries for this event have been
completed and many of his old
acquaintances and friends are
congratulating him, as his ad-
vanced age and physical condi-
tion has for some time made life
arduuus. For many years he has
done little else but watch and

the city, frequently officiating as
City Recorder. or ex-officio City

"It Couldn't Be Done. "

Somebody said that 1t couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't, but he
would be one
Who wouldn' say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of
a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it..
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh. you'll never
de that;
At least no one ever has done it :"
But he took off his coat and he took off
his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd
begun it.
With lift of his chin and a bit of a
grin,
Without any doubling or quitting
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it can
not be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out to you
one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the
thing
That ''cannot be done,' and you IL
do it. Edgar A. Guest.

Nominees File Petitions For
Their Candidacy.

The time allotted for filing Pc

their intention to run on the

An effort was made to get
some of the ladies of Wickenburg
to get in the race, but there was
no response from those ap-
preached who demurred on ac-
count of the shortness of time to
prepare for the event.

board, except Councilman Wood
mansee, would refuse to be nom

Wentworth must have reconsid-

that there is prospect of a change

They are all good men, but the
public will have it's preferences
and they can't all be elected; so
let us pick our fayorites and see
if we can't start the municipality
