BY-PRODUCTs

THE Standard Oil company has
= found a way. to utilize all the
residue from the distillation Of pc
troleum. Gasoline, now one of the
chief products of the concern was once
by-product. All the coal tar de-
rivatives, from which many drugs and
medicines are made, are by-products.
So are paraffin, candles, and hundreds
of other articles in every day use.
The Standard OIL company is q big
concern. 1t has thousands of tech
nically trained experts at work for It..
1t has plants all over the world-the
biggest plants of the kind In existence.
Such an institution can well afford
to 90 into the business of making by
products, and to expend a part Of it,
almost Iimitless energies in getting
all that is possible out of the crude oil
which flows from Its wells.
But the business of developing by.
products Is for corporation, and q
big one-not for an individual.
You may fancy that you can throw
off by-products easily as you do your
daily work. You may believe, II you
are bookkeeper that by spending
a few nights writing moving picture
scenarios you will be able to utilize all
your brains, instead of part of them
If you are young professional man,
with little to do, you may imagine that
you can take up novel writing, or act
ing, or bridge playing as side line,
and thus get rich while you are wait
ing for success in your profession.
It is possible that you will get rich
at one or the other of these things
But IL you do, 1t will be because you
have dropped your profession and de.
voted yourself to the by-product.
Anthony Hope, who wrote 1.-THE
Prisoner of Zenda" was trained as a
barrlster, but he had no briefs, and
wrote stories to while away the hours
he was waiting for clients. He sue.
ceeded as a novelist, because he was
born to write, but he stopped being
lawyer as soon as his first book was
published.
In this world man can learn to do
one thing fairly well. The time he has
is better spent on that one thing. Be-
gin to scout around for by-products
of your brain, and you will soon so
scatter your energies that you do moth.

THE CUT IN FREIGHT RATES

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has ordered a ten per cent cut in
railway freight schedules. 1t is not
very great concession to public de-
mand, but it is something. That the
result will be an increase in net earn
ings by the : roads would not be
strange, since any increase of bust
ness can be accommodated without in
crease of expense.
The cut, however, is not deep
enough. The claim to returns on in
vestment is extravagant, for invest
ment actually is smaller than capital
ization. 1t is estimated that about
one-half of the capitalization Of the
railroads of the country is water. That
can best be determined by careful
estimate of the cost of physical repro
duction. 1t is known that the big
transcontinental lines were built more
to enrich the projectors than for pub
lie service at reasonable rates. 1t is
also known that in. other ways the
manipulators of railroads have used
them more for tock-jobbing than for
their legitimate purpose, and that
"Big Business is the pFofteer. The
values in shares held by small holders
vary, but rarely will case be found
where the investment has been at par.
A small holder of stock bought at say
half it's face value is as clamorous for
full returns on his investments six
per cent on its face value-as if it had
cost him the full amount.
The effect on the labor situation re-
mains to be seen. 1t should have none.
The addition of one car of freight to
each train, either in local or through
service, will take care of the ten per
cent cut and the entire wage cost Of
the train. This can be demonstrated
by taking the charges for one extra
car for the distance run, the cut in
former rates and wage cost of that
car. Take from the earnings the two
latter items, and the net remainder
will be larger than many would mag
inc.
The action of the INTERSTATE Com
merce Commission is praised, but if
it haS been taken year ago, what
ever benefit it may show would have
been proved by this time. But a year
ago the commission was Of the opin-
ion that rates must be higher or the
railroads would lose money. Even lat
er voluntary reductions in some class
es were denied permission.

boxes, whitfield while their wives
washed, and talked about 'possum

All these virtues they accredited to

However, those were the DAYS when
Mark Hanna lied, Mckinley died,
when Roosevelt sighed while Taft
tried to be President. Oh, those were
the days of the lead-head, the dead
head, the pin-head and the soot-head.
Any time in those days you might
have asked: HlFF n
Who causes all the crops to grow?
Who makes the seasons come and 90 !?
Who shapes the current of events?
Who takes the place of Providence?

Who's hapes demand, also supply?
Who gives the people industry?

BY PETITIONS FILED

Nominating petitions for A. L.
Moore for mayor and Wallace Button
and II. II. Hotchkiss for commission
ers were filed with City Clerk George
Kirkland yesterday. So far as is
known, these men will be the only

signatures of per cent of the total
vote cast for mayor at the last gem
eral city election before he is placed
in nomination. The signatures must
be those of duly qualified electors.

Persons filing nominating petitions
become candidates at the primary
election in March. The primary elm
mates all but two candidates for each
office except when candidate for an
office secures a majority of all votes
cast for that office at the primary.
when he is declared elected.
In the event the men mentioneA
above are unopposed at the primary
election in March. it will not be nee
essary to hold the general election
in April unless enough voters write
in the names Of other candidates to
keep these men from getting ma
jority of the votest cast for their re-
spective offices.

MANY REGISTER ON
THE OPENING DAY

More than so Phoenix citizens
qualified as electors yesterday when
the great register of the city opened
at the city hall in anticipation of the
primary and general city elections.
The turnout on the first day Of the
registration was the largest in recent
years. city hall officials said, and
presages a record breaking registra-
tion this spring. Almost half of the
registrants yesterday were women.
A registration clerk has been ap-
pointed by the city commission to
properly register voters. AS the time
for the primary draws near, several
other clerks will be appointed to
facilitate the work. it was added
The largest previous registration In
the city's history was last year,
when approximately 5000 persons
qualified as voters.
All voters must re-register this
spring. it was emphasized, before
they are eligible to cast ballots at
either the primary Of general elec-
ton.

LACKED WATER To
FARM, IS CLAIMED

The minority stockholders Of the
Tucson Farms company held an in
formal conference yesterday with the
corporation commission which in all
probability will result in a more for
NAL hearing on the return from the
East of David F. Johnson and Amos
A. Belts, members of the commits
sion. who are in New York in freight
rate cases before the interstate COM
nerce commission.
Loren Vaughn Of the commission
heard the protests of the tucson
farmers Yesterday who declared that
when they purchased lands from the
Tucson Farms company 1t held out
promise for water from the Sa-
huarita Water company, owned by
the company. They claim they were
not given a sufficient supply with
which to cultivate their farms.

S1OS,0O0 PAID To
COOPERATIVE ASS N

Approximately 1000 checks, for an
aggregate amount OF $109,00O, were
mailed last night from the office OF
the Arizona Pimacotton Growers to
the members and their assigns.
This is the first distribution OF the
proceeds Of sales, and 1t is the plan
of the board and management to
make subsequent distributions about
once each month until the years ac-
counts and pools are closed, provided.
of course, that satisfactory sales
can be made with sufficient rapidity.
About 100000 in advances have
been made by the association before
this sales distribution, most Of ii
having been advanced by the war
finance corporation, and being out
side funds that probably would not
have reached the farmers here except
through the association. The cost
of operation OF the association to the
end OF the year. that can properly be
compared to a commission as usual
ly paid in the cotton trade, amount to
only $2.32 per bale, which is consid-
cred remarkable by the officials of
the association, particularly in view
of the fact that it is a new organi-
cation, operating in a new field OF
cooperative marketing.
In the face or what has been re-
ported to be the poorest market con-
ditions for some time, the assocla-
tion yesterday made a sale of 100
bales Of No. Pima, one and nine
sixteenths staple. at "a cents. Asso-
citation officials regard this as very
satisfactory sale considering the
fact that the best Eastern advices
state that the entire cotton market Is
exceedingly quiet.
The association is in daily wire
touch with the East through direct
representatives, and In spite of the
present conditions of the cotton
market in general. finds an increas-
ing interest in Pimas. particularly
for the large lots OF evenly classed
cotton of the association.
