Jefferson's Ten Rules

Never put off until tomorrow
what You can do to-day.
Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
Never spend your money be-
fore you have earned it.
Never buy what you don't
want because it is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
We seldom repent of having
eaten too little.
Nothing is troublesome that
WE do willingly.
How much pain the evils have
cost us that have never happen

Take things always By the

TITLE REGULATIONS
81 Bit Of Sentiment

James M. Hays, motor vehicle COM
missioner of Virginia, has sent out i'm
portant information to all dealers in,
as well as purchasers of automobiles,
in which it is made plain that the laws
governing titles to automobiles will be
strictly enforced.
In issuing licenses on new cars sold
by dealers on and after the first oil
July, require the dealer to present an
application for registration Of title in
his name and a memorandum of as.
Segment to the purchaser. Require
the purchaser to fill in application for
title, attaching the dealers application
and assignment to the owners appli.
cation.
On all cars in the hands of owners
bought before the first Of July, simply
attach the owners application for
registration. If he has previously
registered, require him to attach his
previous title card. Otherwise, collect
the fee of 81 to register in his name.
In other words, no license can be
issued, unless application is made al
the same time for registration of title.
They are not required to pay the fee
unless they have not previously regis.
tered the title under the old law.
Do not issue any license on any
secondhand car bought after the first
of July unless the title certificate is
attached to the application to register
at the time application for license il
made.
No license can be issued unless the
applicant at the same time files Q
certificate to the effect that he ha.
paid his poll taxes for 1922. This pre-
vision in reference to the 1922 take!
will be effective until December lst
when they will have to certify that the
1923 taxes have been paid.
| We will continue to issue license,
through the local agencies if it can b.
done under the new title law without
too much trouble. II we find we can
not continue to issue licenses ava,
from the office under the new It'll,
law, proper notice will be given you
This title law must be strictly enforced

A bill to make mandatory the estab-

Of the first class in Oregon is to be
placed before the Legislature at its
next session by the state Parent
Teacher Association. A similar law

Multnomah County alone.
An who have made careful study
of the kindergarten system will see
the wisdom Of thiss progressive smove-

MUST REDUCE DEER HERD.

Flagstaff. Reduction in the
state of the great deer herd in
the Kaibab game refuge of Ari.
zona is necessary to save the
animals from starvation this
winter, members of the federal
deer survey expedition decided
today following a ten day study
of the herds stamping and graz.
ing territory in the Arizona
strip" north of the Colorado
river.
The herd, estimated to num-
Der between 10000 and $4,000
head, is impoverished by the
driest season in 80 years, the
survey party reported. The sur
veyors recommended to Secre.
tary Wallace a method, of re.
ducing the herd, but it was not
made public at their meeting
here.
Stephen H. Mather of the ma.
tional park service, who attend.
ed the meeting urged that if
thinning of the herd is found
necessary that the Staying be
done by the forest services al.
tentative plan which provided
an open season for hunters un.
der the most rigid supervision.
The Kaibab refuge was estab.
lished by Theodore Roosevelt.
Under government protection
from hunters the herd has more

Phoenix. CONSTRUCTION of the

II. Cameron announced here
Tuesday.
He said he had received de.
finite assurance from the secre.
tary of the interior that govern.
ment engineers will be sent to
Arizona soon to make prelimin.
ary surveys of the San Carlos
project and that work would
begin upon their completion of
the survey.
Senator Cameron failed to
comment on the federal court
order issued last Saturday, cit.
log him to appear before Judge
VIM. e. Sawtelle of the United
States district court in Tucson
to show cause why be should
not be penalized for contempt of
court as the result of his alleged
failure to obey an Injunction
granted by the federal court in
1920, concerning the Bright An
gel Trail litigation.
A writ was asked in a peti.
ton filed in the court by Harold
Baxter. of Phoenix, who has
been appointed special assistant
to United States Attorney F. H.
Bernard to handle the case
against Senator Cameron and
other defendants in the case.
The writ alleged that an injunc-
tion was granted restraining the
defendants from using land in
the Grand Canyon along Bright
Angel Trail which the defend.
ants had claimed under mining
patents. The petition alleges
that Cameron and his associates
are still using the land.

ARIZONA MINES PAY DIVIDENDS

paid dividends, according to a
federal report. Such mines we're

Queen, at Bis bee, mines at Tomb
stone, the Morencib ranch and a
share of the Old Dominion), 10.

Ajo), Arizona Commercial and
United Eastern. The last closed
it's operations several months
ago.
No mention is made in the re
port of the United Verde. posi-
bly, because it is not listed
stock and possibly because it's
profits have gone to payment of
large cost incurred in new min.
ing and reduction works con.
struction. This last considera.
tion also is understood to govern
at the Magma property at Su
perior.
On the other hand, Superior
& Boston has levied an assess.
ment of 81 a share, payable Sep

are to be used in sinking the
McGaw shaft to 1900 feet, on
which level is to be exploration

The larger Arizona mines this

their assessment by about $4O,.

not been raised in most counties
and that is slightly lower for

ARIZONA STOCKMEN MAY GET
REDUCED FREIGHT RATES.

Phoenix. Sept. Freight re
ductions which will net the cat
tlemen of the state a saving of
approximately $500 annually
if adopted by the United States
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are recommended by Ex
aminer Bronson Jewell in his
report of hearing conducted in
January relative to rates charg
ed on shipments of cattle origin.
ating in Arizona to points in
California. According to an an
nouncement by Jones, Blain and
Jones last night.
TIE complaint against the ex
listing freight rates was brought
by the Arizona Cattle Growers
Association and the Arizona
Corporation Commission and the
Southern Arizona Traffic Asso
citation gave material aid in
gathering evidence and present
ing it at the hearing, the firm
announced. The complaint de
manded a readiustment of the
existing rates on both feeder
and feed cattle.
1t was shown by evidence in
troduced at the hearing, accord
ing to the examiners report, that
90 per cent of the cattle shipped
from this state are feeder cattle
which according to a ruling of
the interstate commerce commits
sion are subject to a charge of
IS per cent OF the rates assessed
on shipments of beef cattle.
The report declares that subse-
quent action of the carriers has
raised these rates until they
range from 81 to SO per cent of
the beef cattle rates from this
state. while competing shippers
in Texas and New Mexico were
shipping cattle at ia per cent
of the rate from points in this
state.
This is unfair to the Arizona
shippers, the examiner declares,
and recommends that the com
mission take immediate steps to
correct this condition, which
reacts unfavorably to the ship
pers of the state.
It is also stated in the report
that the Southern Pacific and
the Arizona Eastern are con
sidered> by the officials of the
roads, when fixing rates, as in
dependent lines and that a
charge of $40 per car is arbitral
rily added to the shipping rate.
This practice is condemned by
the examiner in his report and
it is recommended that imme.
diate action be taken by the
commission to stop it.
The examiner proposes ma,
terial reductions in freight rates
between all points on branch
lines south of Tucson and Ben
son to Nogales and on the Ari-
zona Eastern, Tucson and from
practically all points on Cornell
and Gila Bend railroad, the Ell
Paso and Southwestern railroad.
The reductions recommended
on shipments of beef cattle to
points on the coast range from
$500 per car to $500 per car,
according to Jones, Blain and
Jones. 1t is also recommended
that feeder cattle be subject to a
rate of so per cent of that charg,
ed on shipments of beef cattle.
It this recommendation is adopt
ed it will result in a saving of
$3.50 per car to $500 per car,
according to Jones, Blain anG
Jones.
The cattlemen of this state
shipped $3.50 cars of cattle to
the coast last year. Experts in
the Office of the attorneys who
handled the case said last night
that, basing their estimate on
the minimum average reduction
of $18 per car on feeder cattle,
and $40 per car on beef cattle,
the total saving to the shippers
Of this state will amount to ap.
proximately $93 900 annually.
