An EXCEILENT RECORD.

The Water Department Is closing It's
fiscal year with assurance Of an uneN-
pended balance OF about $4,000 from
the annual appropriation made for Its
operations by the City Council year
ago. This balance 1t WIFI turn over
to City Council. by which body 1t will
be gratefully received. II will go that
far towards reducing the Councir.
deficit. which is expected 10 he of
somewhat formidable proportions this
year.
The Water Department Is n valu-
able adjunct of our municipal admins
tration. For many years It has been a
paying institution. and has been well
managed, with practical results. II is
a profitable asset.
The reason IS easy TO see. The
Water Department IS not partisan
ne Hiiii VI ii'hHoS GIG
Is good public service, not the promo
tion Of partisan political interests. The
results are SO excellent it Is wonder
the people Will tolerate purely partisan n
administration in any branches OF
their public service.
The Street and Sewer Department IS
conducted along much the same lines
as the Water Department. and goof
results are apparent IN its admintstra-
lion in recent years, although II is not
so plainly divorced from partisan poll
tics as is the Water Department.
So here are some object-lessons fol

THE MIRROR OF

that budgetary deficits necessitate

as It goes. but II does not start far
enough back. What causes the

1t seems unmistakeable from Ger
many's experiences last year that the
sequence Of events was az follows:
The roparation payments by greatly
increasing tho pressure OF demand for
foreign bills wherewith TO make re-
mittance. and. also by imparing con-
fidence. drove down the value OF the
mark in exchange. Import and OK
port prices rose In close sympathy
with the exchange. and domestic
prices followed upward moro slowly,
external and internal prices tending
to equalizo gradually whenever the
exchange quieted down or improved.
and also towards tho end OF tho period
of extreme depreciation. by reason Of
tho effect OF tho domestic buyers panic
In October md November.
With prices rising, tho state and
private demand for credit was in
tcreased. To meet custoiners' demands
for bank notes. bankers. holding their
| liquid assets mainly In Treasury bills
and only n minimum OF tho non-ln-
terest- bearing RciChsbank notes
would present Treasury bills for on
cashment In bank notes. increasing

bills and forcing Increased Issues oi
bank notes In payment. At tho snm6
time, since tho revenuo of the gov
ernment is relatively fixed In tho bud

continuously with tho riso Of prices
tho resulting deficit compels furthel

bills.

UNIVERSAL GRIEF.

According to dispatches,
there's trouble everywhere, and
anguish comes in patches, and
statesmen rend their hair. In
China there's been lighting, to
gain tho diamond belt; the Rus
sian ruIe bhghting. its evils
now are felt. The monarchists
are plotting wherever kings
were canned, palladiums are
rotting in every foreign land.
Grief, grief! See Ireland grab
1t; she now has freedoms 3 boon,
but has the sCrapping habit
and cannot drop II soon. Poor
France is badly busted, by Prus-
sian armies wrecked; her states
men are disgusted because she
can't collect. And even stall
before, by grieVous ills is smit-
wart Britain, that never quailed
ten, and smiles and sings no
more. Alas, the sad dispatches,
from groaning nations sent, The
reader sighs and scratches his
head in wondcrment. How can
one read such tidings, such news
from o'erN the foam, and fill the
air with chidings. and beef
around at home? Our siclly
little troubles, DER which the

bubbles a breath viii blow away.
Why roar of income taxes, and

ourselves with axes. some men
of straw to strike? Let's cease

THE CARRIAGE MUDDLE.


After an exciting and somewhat
acrimonious debate. during which the
evil visaxe OF partisan politics was In
evidence. the City Council. Monday
night. by a vote of seven Republicans
tn Ave Democrats. refused to consider
the proposal OF the Board of Health
for Increased compensation to Syl-
vos,er Healy. the contractor for the
collection OF garbage. The Democratic
members claimed the action Of the ma
jority was based on the fact that Mr..
liealy Is a Democrat. and there may
bo some grounds for this contention.
But Il is apparent that a large amount
OF partisan feeling prejudiced the re-
marks and tho votes OF both sides of
the controversy.
The injection Of this partisan feel
ing into consideration OF this import
ant matter Is most unfortunate. as
IL l. one that concerns the interests of
all our people. 1, rs a business matter.

tirely hlHinesss point OF view.

THE LESSON OF THE CRATE.
By Edgar A. Guest.
copyright 1922 by Edgar A Guest

II seemed an unimportant task
Too trif'ing for a chief to ask,
little thing. nor could he SEQ
The need to do Il thoroughly;
He fancied none could ever tell
Whether he did II very well
Or sighted II, yet truth 10 say
On him depended much that day.
Ha was TO nail a wooden crate.
No chance in that for splendor great,
No chance TO prove his gift or SKILL
A thanklees post was his TO n"'
Well-nailed or not, 'twould be the same,
The world would never learn his name
And yet that wooden crate was hileu
With What had taken months TO buiid.
He did not see or understand
INST what was passing meath his hand
That rs that wooden crate was nailed
A plan succeeded or IL failed;
That miles away men stood In walt
Depending on that simple crate.
For not a wheel could turn OF drive
Until Il safely should arrive.
He drove his nails. and let 1t go.
Thinking that none would ever know
Whose hand had held the hammer there
Or. knowing Il, would ever care:
Yet in a few brief days there came
The news that burned his cheeks with
shame:
Broken in shipment and we stay
Facing another months delay"
Vain e the skill OF worknen great
Unless the boy who makes the crate
Shall give his best to driving nails
The work of all the others falls;
There is no unimportant task,
Whatever duty life may ask.
On It depends the greater plan
There is no unimportant man.

charge OF accepting from this same
baltimore contractor tho gift OF an
automobile, and the hearing Is sct
for tomorrow. Wade has strong po-
litical influence behind him, and much
pressure was brought upon Governor
Richie to induce him to abandon the
hearing and allow the charges to go
by default Tho governor refused.
Yesterday mornings Baltimore
papers contained an interesting state
ment by Governor Ritchie, In regard
to the efforts that were being made
to induce him TO spare DIR. Wade. He
alluded FIRST to the Leibowit1 gift of
whisky and added that Leibowitx re-
Gently had come TO him and threatened
to expose this gift unless he let up
on Wade. This net Governor RItchie
classed as An attempt at blackmaIl.
and boldly announced that such tao
tics could not deter him from doing
his duty.
Sound public sentiment, In all prob
ability. will sustain Governor Ritchie
in his determination. 1t will be ad-
mitted he has very indiscreet in ac-
cepting even a small present from the
Baltimore contractor. but many per-
sons realize how difficult It Is Mt times
to get away from the presumed good
will offerings OF others. even when a
sense of propriety suggests rejection.
The governor. however. manfully ad-
mits his slight fall from grace. and
refuses 10 offend In respect OF the
other and more serious allegation
against an official OF the State.
So here we have most interesting
evidence Of the thorough soundness
of the ancient maxim: Beware OF
the Greeks bearing gifts"

 GIVES DRIVER SCARE

PRESCOTT, Dec. 20.-The. terrors of motoring in Yavapai county are not confined to rough and muddy roads according to a traveller who Monday night drove from Ash Fork to Prescott by the way of Puntenney. but include the dangers of being at tackled by wild animals.
 Leaving Ash Fork in the early evening, this Prescott-bcund traveller said thats he reached the Puntenney country about s o'clock, when it was dark and was driving rather slowly for that reason.
 Along side of the road, short distance ahead of him, he saw what he supposed to be a COW and paid no particular attention to it.
 As he approached the animal and was about 30 feet from it. he saw it lower it's head and the next in stant felt jar that nearly threw the car, which was a roadster, over on it's side. q,
 The attacking animal was bull which had charged the side of the machine. wrecking the fender and mudguardS Son one side but otherwise not injurnig the machine. Not waiting to see whether or not the bull had been hurt by his assault ! the motorist stepped on the gas, he said, and came to Prescott.

While they seem scarce so did fat steers and so did heavy feed CTS and: so did calves at different periods. Men who know the clas- sing of other markets claim the Los Angeles market is topping the others on identical quality.
 It seems to me the opposition to the stockyards is causing lower prices, rather than the stockyards, for it's the outside beef offers that have
