TIE recent slump In the political
arena has been a disappointment to
many. but it has not changed the
attitude of the state senate, and be-
cause of this there is a chance of
Goshen county's senator being chos-
en- for the honorable position of
president of the senate. II. S. Kirk
would fill the place with dignity, and
his management of the affairs of
that august body would be a credit
to the state.-Goshen Hole News.

M|SLEAD TOURISTS
To SPITE PHOENIX?

S. r. Morgan of this city who just
returned from Tucson said yesterday
that some of the garage keepers there
are committing a crime against tour
lists and Phoenix that deserves look-
ing into. He said that California
bound tourists are being sent i'll
droves over the Ajo route.
Mr.. Morgan was at one of the
garages on the morning he left for
home and heard a tourist inquire
which was the best way to Califor-
mia. The keeper replied, by the Ajo
route by all means. and he described
in narrowing terms the condition OF
roads via Phoenix.
Mr.. Morgan entered into an argu-
ment with the keeper regarding this
misrepresentation and he subse-
quently learned that the practice at
that and other garages OF misleading
tourists was quite general. He
learned also that Ajo is not the gamer
by tourist traffic and Is not especially
anxious for it, so that the only mot
i've of these misguiding keepers is
one Of spite against the Phoenix
route. Mr.. Morgan added that a
tourist who has once been misled into
taking the route. between AJo and
Yuma is not only certain not TO try
it again but is not likely to believe
any directions that an Arizonian Will
afterward give him. The next time
he wants to take trip to the coast

If you had lived long ago and had been
introduced to George Washington, you
would have shaken the hands of a phys
ical giant.
Washington stood feet 2, athletic
build, powerful chest Reddish brown
hair. Blue eyes. Large hands.
In history, this is important For,
without his strong and healthy body,
Washington could not have stood the
hardships he went through as COM
mander-in-chief of the armies that won
America its independence.
Born Of planter parents considered
wealthy in those days, and inheriting a
landed estate, Washington was no idler.
He fought his way into history by hard
work. He was only 16 years old when he
headed westward into the wilderness as
a surveyor.
He served as surveyor for three years.
The pay was small But George was
economical, saving enough from his
wages to buy large tracts of land before
he was of age.

'PAY-UP WEEK" IS
SHOWING THE NEED
OF CREDIT RATING

One of the functions of the Pay
Up Week" movement is TO bring home
to a community the necessity for
establishing a favorable credit char
acter with the local credit institution.
In Phoenix the general source OF
credit information is the credit
bureau OF the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association. In this bureau
there are now over 10000 names of
the citizens of Phoenix with certain
information on each, compiled from
the experiences of those who have
had occasion to extend them credit
There is probably too little thought
given to this credit medium that is
constantly establishing the credit
ratings of everyone who applies for or
receives credit Frequently custom
ers express surprise when they apply
for and are sometimes denied the ex-
tent of credit for which they apply
and are sometimes denied the priv
ilege Of opening new accounts.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association, who are sponsoring the
Pay Up Week movement in Phoenix
this week, are embracing this op-
portunity to acquaint the citizens of
tanning a favorable credit rating for
their own convenience. The mem
bers Of this organization have given
their delinquent accounts an oppor-
tunity to liquidate their obligations
during Pay Up Week and have
agreed TO withhold their reports re-
garding these delinquencies until
after Pay Up Week is over. Conse-
quently, this campaign. in addition
to its many other merits. provides an
opportunity for everyone in Phoenix
to square themselves on the credit
files of the local credit bureau.
The merchants and credit men OF
| Phoenix are very much gratified with
| the splendid results so far obtained
from the Pay Up Week movement
and the majority of them anticipate
a far more favorable credit situation
than has existed here for the past
year. There are a great number OF
interesting experiences that are now
being prepared for publication at the
conclusion of this campaign, which
will illustrate the actual working out
OF the various benefits that accrue to
community from a movement OF
this kind.

STATE IS ENRICHED
BY INSURANCE TAX

The 2 per cent tax on all pre-
miums paid to the corporation COM
mission by insurance companies do
ing business in this state added APP
proximately $4,000 TO the fees Of
the commission yesterday. One check
in the amount OF $4,000 and anoth-
er for $4,000 were among those cred
tied to companies by the insurance
department and will be transmitted
to the general fund.
More than $4,000 from this source
has been collected this month, while
the figures for March will be far in
advance Of that amount, according to
the estimate OF r. j. X. Mcbride,
secretary OF the commission.
The amount of business transacted
by the commission can be judged
from the number of callers single
day which Mr.. Mcbride says were
200, including lawyers, representa- :
tives of corporations. insurance men,
those having to do business with
the investment and rate department
and members of the legislature.

SIDEWALK LINE IS
PRIVATE PROPERTY

Sidewalk lines in Phoenix are priv
ate and not public property. That
was the opinion. at least, Of q jury
in Judge r. G. Stanford's division OF
the superior court yesterday after
noon.
This opinion was returned in an
action brought by the city against
j. III. Williams, a property owner at
Five Points. Williams was alleged
to have violated a city ordinance
through the construction Of sign
on his property at Five Points, which
sign projected out over the sidewalk
Trial Of the action was had in the
municipal court. which held the de-
fendant guilty and assessed a fine OF
$25. The case reached the superior
court on appeal.
1t was the contention OF the appel
liant Williams that he had q right tc
hang a sign over the sidewalk line
inasmuch as the sidewalk was con-
structed on his property. The city
contended that the sidewalk line i
public property. The jury held with
the appellant. Williams.

THE IMMORTAL GEORGE

At maturity, his reputation was estab-
lished as a thrifty, reliable, hard worker,
intensely democratic, of simple tastes, a
Square deal' man. The virile pioneers
accepted him naturally as their logical
leader.
A leading character of critical times,
Washington was serious-minded from
youth. He knew the bitter hardships of
winter in the unexplored wilderness, In
dian fighting, and the starvation and cold
of Valley Forge.
Washington never admitted that de-
feat was possible. In the darkest days of
the Revolution, it was largely his inspir-
ing courage that kept hope alive in his
famished soldiers.
February % is the 190tR anniversary
of his birth. 1t is good to know that the
father of our country was regular fel-
low-virile, likable, an ideal American.
In his life, many lessons for the young.
Also, much inspiration for those emerged
from youth.
