How Municipal Bonds
BG,ggar a City.

$4,000 lent by the city OF Dubuque
to the Dubuque Bridge Co. in 1885.
was repaid last week. The money
was Immediately used to retire
block of bonds issued in 1852 and held
ly a Massachusetts estate. The
bonds were issued to fall due in 1897
with the privilege of redemption at
ter a certain time.
Seventy-five year bonds at per
cent would be equivalent to 300 per
cent in interesy if allowed to run the
fall period. in other words, to Dor
row $4,000 at these terms, the cost
would be $4,000. Principal-one-
fourth; Interest-th ree-fourths.
Heavily bonded cities all over the
country have found themselves un-
able to redeem their bonds when due.
The issue has been met temporarily
by a new issue as the bonds fell due.
THE municipality remains in the
clutches Of the interest sharks with
little chance of ever getting out
This amounts TO perpetual slavery.
Wise is the city which pays as it
goes and avoids the pitfalls Of heavy
bond issues.

How Far Should a Newspaper
Go with Free Publicity?

Requests for free publicity for this,
that and the other thing reach
newspaper office daily. Just what
should be considered as free and what
should be charged has been and is
perplexing topic around every news
paper Office.
However, by careful consideration
the mass Of newspaper men have
come to consider that anything in
yolving a profit Of some kind becomes
paid Advertising This applies re-
gardless Of who or what organization
does the advertising. The, general
rnle is: If you charge, we charge.
Other matters not involving a profit
INT still involving a benefit come UNI
Ger the head Of paid advertising. Ii
an individual or group of individuals
benefit by publicity the publicity
should be paid for.
Where the publicity is in connec-
tom with public welfare the rule is
tO extend it free. Without doubt
the newspaper has a public duty and
this duty extends to nOn-subscribers
as we'll as to regular subscribers OF
the paper The office is the sole
Judge and court Of last resort on what
is to be handled free and what should
he charged for. The business is not
in any sense subsidized and must be
Eun to produce revenue just as any
other business is run.
Some people imagine that news
paper makes money on circulation.
The fact is exactly opposite. The
newspaper loses money on cirCula-
t}on, making the deficit up through
advertising sales. 1t costs us about
$500 a year to deliver a 81 paper to
the reader We must, and do make
Tin this loss through advertising sales.
The subscriber in receiving good
paper gets full value received and
heaping over without receiving free
FRANK for publicity. We make this
clear because some people imagine
that a newspaper can give them free
advertising just because they take
the paper We cannot give away the
sole source of revenue to the paper.
We must charge for publicity to sur

IS cocoNINo so BLIssFULLY IGNORANT?

For those who profess not to understand the
offer of the government of S100 900 for the Bright
Angel trail it might be well to quote from state
ment made in congress by Congressman Carl Hay
den. Among other pertinent things he said We're
'It was we'll understood that the fund of S100,0
would not complete this road Qthe Maine-G Grana
Canyon highway and that other funds would
have to be made available later. Perhaps $780,
900 more will be needed to make the approach
road what it should be, and the amended provision
that is now before the senate contains unnnistak-
able language to the effect that the United States
is to take over and construct such a road to the
Park The federal government will not only take
it over and rebuild It as good automobile high
way but will have the duty to subsequently mainA
tain it as it does certain approach roads to the
Yellowstone Park which the United States built
at a cost of $4,000 and which it still maintains
Through the National Park Service
Congressman Cramton, chairman of the National
Parks committee of the house, and others of his
committee gave Coconino county officials to lln-
derstand that 100000 or more would be appre-
priated later for this, road if the deal went
through. The appropriation went through by a
unanimous vote of the house, consequently with
their full understanding that $500000 more was
eventually to be spent on this highway.
Yet some few people still claim they Go not I'M

There is no question about 100000 and, what
any right-thinking man would be willing to bet
would be made S500,000 and, government main

The rapid development of the south side of the
canyon means great deal to Coconino county in
the way of increased travel; the amount to be ex-
pended by the government win materially help our
prosperity, and the big highway to the Grand
Canyon will be a permanent asset, helping to
draw tourists over the National Old Trails IigH-

NOT ALL FOR GOVERNOR HUNT

In an editorial captioned "Stop, Look and List
en-" Editor A. S. Mills of the Phoenix Messenger
takes Governor Hunt to task fol. seeking TO pc
elected governor the fifth time. Mr. Mills states
that Governor Hunt ruthlessly has ignored the
democratic party in making appointments, and
has sought to build up personal machine. Inc
following, chopped out of the middle of the Mes
senger editorial, is good sample of the tenor OF
the reference to the states executive.
"By using the forces at his command, Mr. Hunt
can doubtless force his nomination. out ne does 50
at his own peril.
Democracy has come to the rescue in the past
and Mr. Hunt each time gave the gspoils of office
to his henchmen who have ruthlessy ignored the
democracy of the state. Patronage has gone to
the sociastic labor element and to the arst0crats
in the big fields of industry but the ordinary man
has been overlooked, except to use his vote on
election day and his tax money to pay the bills
contracted. as
"The policy of The Messenger is to treat all
aspirants fairly and if Mr.. Hunt secures the dem
ocratc nomination. he is entitled to party support
"But it is high time to look around. We are
opposed to autocracy and we fear the power of a
man who talks of Issuing 100000 real money by
proclamation. Where they get it, we do not know,
but if the governor can proclaim S2UO,OOO, by the
same authority he might issue proclamation for
money with which to build that frenzied freak of
imagination, the High Line canal, that is to cost
about $478 700 000 or more than half the assessed
wealth of the state.
Personally we are very fond of Governor Hunt
and we believe he has made good governor when
compared with the only other governor we have
had since statehood. But naturally, long service
in high office tends to build "a personal machine
which is not the democratic party"
The last paragraph in which fondness is ex-
pressed for the governor, gives new meaning to
the word It is akin to the kind of fondness the,
husband bore toward his wife, who, when she
slipped on the sidewalk and fell said: Look out,
dear, or you'll break your ID neck" Certain
ly, the fondness for the governor would burn more
like still fire in a windless night We're the exc
cutive to step aside, and let somebody else lead
the party this year.
Inasmuch as Editor Mills himself has no annbi-
ton for political recognition of any Sort it cannot
be said his words We're prompted by disappoint-
ment He is in easnest in what he wrote, sincere
and unafraid.-Prescott Courier.

THE WANT EASY MONEY


The newest scheme advanced by those opposed
to the ratification of the Colorado river pact, TO
befuddle the people, is the circulation of initiative
petitions asking the people to vote an appropria-
ton of 100000 to the "highline element" for the
purpose of making IAN investigation and survey of
the Colorado river" The several hundred thous-
and expended by the government during the past
few years in making surveys measuring waite;
flow and typographical maps by a perlious voyage
with boats down the river does not seem to mean
anything to this highline association. It wants to
spent 100000 among it's friends to further delay
the game, also to help maintain its association. In
face of all the money spent by government experts
on the proposition, it is very doubtful if the peo
pie will vote to burden themselves with S1O0,O0U
more taxation just to please this bunch VINO
wouldn't be satisfied If they spent million. If
Governor Hunt is actually in favor of reduces
taxation he might advise these wild goose chasers
to quit this scheme and go to work at something
useful and worthwhile

THE NEW FOURTH PARTY

Senator LaFollette, who has masquesaded as a
republican for a good many years has at last come
out in his true colors. The conglommerate third
and fourth party, the socialist and advocates OF
the Russian idea of government have all combined
and centered on him as their independent can
didate. Quack governments are quite a fad over
across the pond nowadays, but there are hopes that
neither democrats or republicans will sanction this
cancerors political tester intent on making our
country a second Russia. All this new combina-
ton of self-aggrandzed seekers for easy wealth
want is the power and authority to live in splendor
and rule with an iron hand Odd as it may seem
they cali it freedom, but they only mean the free
dom of few, the few who want all the autocratic
powers given to emperors of old. Merely the
talkative element of society endeavoring to revert
to the stone-age, because they are not successful
in the Drainage. A grand gathering of the hope
less, Respondent, worthless, workess, meloncholiy
drab, hookWornled outfit of humanity desiring to
unload the responsibility onto the rest of people
of America.

A WARM NEW PAPER

zona Times, the new weekly just come to life in
Phoenix with Tillman Stout Rush as its editor.
From the page of editorials we have persued We
are honestly and conscientiousy of the opinion
that Tillman is living up to his name including
Stout Rush, also, there is strong ntimation that
The Times does not favor Governor Hunt for re-
election. We are not acquainted with Editor Rush
and do not care to be too precipitate in our judg-
gment as to his papers attitude toward Governor
Hunt, but we are almost inclined to believe from
its tone, that it rather leans away from him.
Really, if The Times gets het up much we are
sure abestos won't hold it's message.

THE COLORADO COMPACT SOLUTION

Dwight B. Heard, republican candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, has devised and made
public a plan for the ratification of the Colorado
compact that seems to meet every possible objec-
tiOn and abviate every reason Whyathe waters OF
the mighty Colorado should not be harneSsed
The Heardsplan sOntemplates an immediate rat
ification of the compact subject to the making of
a subsidiary agreement by Arizona with the states
of California; and Nevada, providing for the ap-
pointment of commissioners by the three states to
determine the amount of taxation to be imposed
on power generated in Arizona and sold outside
the state and the disposition OF water for irriga-
tiOn which will settle forever the respective rights
of the three states making the contract.
Arizona is interested in two things only, the
securing of all necessary irrigation water and the
protection of the power that will be generated
from the river flow. Arizona should benefit from
all power developed, inasmuch as the greatest fail
in the Colorado river is through the Grand Canyon
which is entirely within the state@ Thus, an aux
iliary compact should be made by Arizona win
California and Nevada there being every assur-
ance that such contract will be acceptable TO
those stateS.
The making of such an agreement is provided in
the Santa Fesconlpact which undertakes to deter
mine only the respective rights to the upper and
lower basin. The treaty states the upper basin
states are entitled to the use of 900 acre feet
of water per ,annum and the lower basin states to
the use of 8,5000O0 acre feet. The upper basin
states cannot possible use this amount of water
although the Arizona problem would be simplified
if they could. Cutting the flow down to 8, 800 900
feet at Lees Ferry as provided in the treaty would
forever free Arizona and California from the dan
ger of floods Inasmuch as this cannot possibly
be done the same amount of water viii pass Lees
Ferry after the construction Of the dam as passes
there today and the lower basin states will find
no dimunition of the annual flow of the stream
The Heardsplan seems to find ready solution
to the Colorado compact problem and its imne-
diate adoption will no doubt meet with the approx
al of everyone interested in Arzonas right in the
great project Douglas Dispatch.
