WONDERFUL BANKING
STUNT is SUGGESTED
BY WONDERFUL. SOLON

Although onsidered unlikely to gain
sufficient support to cause it to be
taken seriously by the people Of the
state, the Introduction in the senate
BY Senator Golfer of Apache county,
democratic candidate for governor in
1918, of bill providing for the Great
ing Of state bank, has aroused more
interest than any other measure be-
fore the sixth legislature.
1t is proposed to call the institu-
tion the Bank of Arizona, despite the
fact that there is bank by that name
IN Prescott, and to have it capitalized
at $1,000,000. 1t would be made the
depository of all state, county and mu-
nicipal funds in Arizona, and would
hold all money in the hands of re-
ceivers, executors and administrators.
In the body of the bill these words
appear:
"The banks existence calls atten-
tion to the divine law and moral pre-
cept that it is a sin to either pay or
receive interest on money, except by
the sovereign power, and then only at
tax or interest to safely cover cost;
and this moral awakening will make |
an annually increasing number of |
people will to deposit with said bank
without expecting or desiring interest |
thereon"
The bank would pay no interest on
deposits, but would pay the taxes on
time deposits for six months, and it
would not charge more than 4 per
cent on loans. Persons outside the
state could not borrow money at the
bank, neither could spectators,
gamblers, or those aiming to monop-
Olize land, products, or opportunity.
It would be at Phoenix with branches
the state if found desir-
able.

GOV. HUNT LARRUPS
DEM. LEGISLATURE

The Arizona legislature was censur-
ed in a message sent to both houses
by Governor Geo. w. p Hunt in which
the executive declared that the legis-
lature ''has failed to live up to expec-
tations" and that unless the democra-
tic members of the legislature within
the next few days adopt different
attitude toward legislation introduced
in the legislature, the platform of
the democratic party will not be re-
deemed, and we shall stand before the
people of the state in the position Of
party that has repudiated It's prom
ises."
"To this" the governor declared
in his message, 81 shall not be par
ty, and I, therefore, call upon those
members of my party who were elect
ed on the ticket upon which | was
elected to employ their time during
the balance Of this session in fulfilling
the promises we made to the people
of the state, promises which resulted
in the responsibilities of government
being placed in hands of the candi-
dates of the democratic party"
The communication, which came un.
expeetedly, was read in both houses
and placed on file without action. In
the senate a motion by Senator Col
ter to have two copies Of the COVER
nor's message printed was overwhelm-
ingly defeated.

BRAKEMAN KILLS TRAMP ON
TOP OF BOX CAR AND THEN
TIES BODY FAST WITH ROPES

On the Yuma-Imperial lettuce train
that left Yuma late Monday a drama
was staged that would make movie
serials take back seat in the matter
of thrills.
The train, in charge Of Conductor
Otis, had just started into the siding
at Cactus, west of Ogilby, when a
brakeman, making his rounds, encoun-
tered an unknown Mexican hobo and
ordered him from the train. The
Mexican replied by drawing knife
and attempted to stab the brakeman,
who drew his revolver and killed the
tramp.
By this time the train had again
gathered headway, and in order that
the body would not fall from the top
of the box car, the brakeman secured
ropes and lashed it fast. The remains
stayed in this place until they were
removed at FL Centre, where a coro-
ner's inquest was held. The brake
man whose name has not been divulg-
ed, testified at the inquest that he shot
twice in the air first to stop the Mex
lean, and when he kept on brought
him down.
The first reports of the unusual
sight Of the body trussed on the car
created good deal of comment from
east-bound train crews until the de-
.allS were known.-Yuna Sun.

OLD PORTRAIT OF WASH
INGTON FOUND AT YUMA

Coincident with the celebration of
Washington's birthday at Yuma, a
group of men engaged in cleaning out
an old store room discovered pic
ture of George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln framed together.
When the picture was brought out
and busted it was discovered to be a
rare woodcut engraved in Washing
ton, D. C. in 1865. The printers date
was. etched on it. When the frame
was removed four five-cent stamps
affixed to the back of the parchment
were found to bear the cancellation
date of 1865.
Old timers were questinoed and it
was learned that the picture was
brought to old Fort Yuma by a pony
express rider about 1866 and that for
many years it graced the headquart-
ers of the frontier military post.
The picture, which showed but
slight signs of its age, was draped
with flags and placed on exhibition
during the day.

NEW PRECEDENT IN EN-
FORCEMENT OF DRY LAW

An attitude accepted as one of ut
most Importance in enforcement of the
national prohibition act was indicated
by Judge William H. Sawtelle in the
case of the confiscation of the Stude~
baker automobile of Carl Vaughn,
charged with liquor violation. Judge
Sawtelle, who denied the motion of
the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance com
pany for the total proceeds of the
sale of the car confiscated by the gov
ernment, stated that his opinion in
cases Of this sort will be prepared and
handed down in written form during
the next few days.
The denial of the motion was de-
clared to involve an important prece-
dent in Interpretation of the prohibi-
ton act, permitting the government
to dispose of confiscated cars in pro-
hibition violation eases without re-
sponsibility to insurance company
claim to the value of the automobile.
