SEEKS OPERATING COST.
Real Estate Group Issues Query on
Apartment Building.

What is the cost of operating an
apartment building?
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards is asking the question
in an inquiry sent out to members of
1ts property management division.
Every member is asked to contribute
his own experience table as to the
cost of such items as taxes, vacancies,
repairs, insurance, light. janitor serv-
ice, management, heating and depre-
citation. A typical experience table al
ready contributed holds that in Phila-
deiphia so thoroughly has actual, prac-
1ice followed the ALLEGATION cost laid
out by experienced property manage
lnent offices that investors of apart
Inent houses in the city have come to
accept an apartment house as a good
purchase at a cost equal to the gross
rentals capitalized at the rate of 14.28
per cent.
1t will be the purpose OF the inquiry
to find out how far the experience of
other firms in other cities will furnish
similar findings.

turn examples of the letters contrib
uted by other firms
Similarly, farm land men, through
the farm lands division of the associa-
ton, are pooling advertisements which
have attracted inquiry for agricultural
land. An exchange then will be
effected.
Real estate brokers, through the
brokers' division of the association. are
now arranging an exchange of pep
talks used in sending out their sales
men after business. Through the eX-
change every firm contributing its own

portunity to listen in to the speeches
being made in other successful bro

ST. ANNES- ES-ON-THE-SEA, England,
March 26.--An eight-hour day Tor

of the children. 1t is really 7-hour

have an hour off for his midday oats.
The donkey's charter, adopted by
the Lytham st. Annes Council, speci-
fies that there shall be no whipping
of any kind, prohibits kicking and
places the weight limit of the rider
at SS pounds.

Southport New Brighton, Scar

donkey work-hour regulations, and

enforced.
Increased popularity of the auto

it, as more parents bring their chill
dren to the seaside. Winter and Sum-

WHO MOVED THE RIVER?
(Risbee Daily Review


There are some who may feel that
the governor of Arizona's legal ad-
visers in matters pertaining to the
Colorado river are lacking in the
knowledge of the finer points of rec
lamation law, but even the most rad
ical and virulent enemy of Hunts
river policies would not accuse him
or his aides of knowing so little about
the geographical location of the Col
orado river that they would describe
it as pouring into the Roosevelt
dam" Consequently, we must lay
the blame for such misstatement
at the feet of the reporter on the
Portland Oregonian who interviewed
Sam White, Phoenix attorney and
very prominent in affairs pertaining
to the Colorado river controversy. In
a column devoted to interviews with
visitors, the reporter quoted the cru
dite Mr. White on the climate Of Ari-
zona and Phoenix in particular, than
which there is none better in the
world, summer, winter, spring and
fall So far so good, but in conclud-
ing the interview Mr.. White natur-
ally wanted to tell about the great
reclamation project surrounding the
Roosevelt Dam, declaring boastfully
as we'll he might, that the water was
first used for power and later for
irrigation, thus cutting the cost down
to the minimum. 1t was here that
the reporters typewriter slipped a
couple of cogs, and quoted the visitor
as saying 1--WE have wonderful
country, with agriculture, mining and
stock-raising. We know how to use
water over and over again in our
reclamation projects. The water OF
the Colorado river goes over the
Roosevelt dam, then to the Horse Me-
sa dam and then to the Mormon, flat,
and each time it is used for power
and then it finally goes to the farm
ers. The water will cost the farm
ers nothing, because so much revenue
will be received from the power"
We are indebted to a former tele-
graph editor of The Review for this
bit of geographical misinformation,
who clipped the article and enclosed
a letter containing the following per-
tinent remarks concerning the "Sil
very Colorado vending its way over
the banks of the Roosevelt dam" ;
whether some convulsion of nature
moved the Colorado from its former
location, or your sapient and puis-
SAINT governor brought it over to the
Salt River valley, where he could
protect it from the greed of abhorred

THE MIDGLEY IDEA

There are all kinds, varieties and species of men
in this rather humdrum world. Major Midgley,
formerly chairman of the board Of supervisors OF
Yavapai county, now president of the Arizona
Highway association and step-son, as it were
of Coconino county, is of special notable Variety
all too few. For twelve years he was elected to
the board of supervisors in Yavapal county, as
republican in an overwh Ginning democratic county.
We often wondered why. He made an impromptu
speech at the state meeting of assessors and super
visors here Monday. From reports of his speech
we believe we have caught Major Mldgleys heart
felt slogan: II love my country and my fellow
men too well to keep silent when know they are
wrong in the administration of the affairs of the
public; / criticize them not because | hate them
but because love 'em.
While we may not always agree with MAJOR
Midgley in detail, we do believe IN his methods OF
openly and above board pointing out the things he
believes wrong with our state and county govern
ments and, just as openly pralsng the good things
done by officials regardless of their particular or
peculiar political beliefs.
1t is difficult task to arouse the interest of the
people of the state in business affairs of vital i'm
portance to them. No man or set of men is IN
fabe and eternal vigilance is the price of liberty
Knowing affairs of state are radically wrong and
not raising voice, is traltorous attitude to take
and ultimately leads to the downfall CT the county,
state or nation
In saving this, do not get the idea we are
espousng the cause of the blatant ranter who only
has loud voice and lack of brains or construc-
tive ideas to offer. There are TOO many OF tnaI
class now. They merely spread discomfort and
malice in the hearts of the brainless and thought
less. This class destroys what thinkers and work
ers would build
The Midgley idea carried out by high minded
men of ability would soon gather momentum
among that class of people who now are dsgusted
and feel it is hopeless task to convince the major
ity of the people of the truth as it stands OF
record.
"An army travels on its belly" It's an DID,
crude statement but it applies just as aptly to cur
civil condition today.

THE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

The legislature adjourned Wednesday after ap-
pointing a committee to draft new highway bill
which will not only appropriate money to pay off
creditors but also provide the method Of payment.
Governor Hunt refused to revise his call and IN
timated the legislators could go to country where
celluoid is not popular. All he desires of them is
to pay his list of friends off, then go home. If
he needs EN- again he'll send for them The leg
islators will very probably pass the buck back to
the governor along with a few rules and regula-
tions providing for method of paying off cred
itors The governor says he will veto it. If he
does it will be because he thinks more of his po-
litica machinery than he does of the good of the
people
Why should the legislature appropriate half
million without checking up the specific accounts
The governor could name any one he saw fit in
his list if he so desired IL this bunch of bills is
paid, what is there under existing laws to prevent
the creation at will more and a larger indebted
ness?

WHY THE STATE TREASURER
HESITATES TO RECOGNIZE
A PROCLAMATION
(Arizona Republican,

On the eve Of a special session of
the Eighth legislature mandamus
action is threatened against the state
treasurer to compel him to recognize
an appropriation by proclamation
by the governor making available for
his state highway department funds
or credits to meet what the governor
regards as an emergency in conse-
quence of "acts of God" resulting in
natural wear and tear" of our
highways which we had hitherto at
tributed to the use of them and the
corroding influence of time upon
them.
The treasurer is said to be in doubt
whether the proceeding proclaimed
by the governor is constitutional
one, inasmuch as it apparently con-
templates an increase of the states
Indebtedness beyond the limit fixed
by the constitution which, in the be-
lief of some has already been exceed
ed by nearly 100000. The special
session of the legislature which will
convene today was limited or was at
tempted to be limited, by the govern
or's call to legislation providing for
the payment of debt to the state of
$625, 900, a sum considerably in ex-
cess of $350,OO0, the constitutional
limit. That debt still stands acknowl-
edged by the governor.
The power which the governor seeks
by his proclamation to exercise, is in
tended to be used only to meet emer-
gencies. The treasurer may well be
in doubt, first, as to whether any
situation exists that cannot be met
in regular way, by legislative APP
preparation. He is aware that the
legislature will go into session again
today, and with the consent of the
governor, will be prepared to meet in
a regular way, the emergency, or
perhaps only situation, which the
governor is trying to meet in a doubt
full way.
The treasurer is further aware that
the power of the governor to meet
any emergency, however great, is linn
tied by the constitution. Therefore,
having in mind his official oath and
his obligation to respect the law and
the constitution, the treasurer very
naturally asks for more light before

state to every executive demand upon
it.
State Engineer lie Febvre in whose
name the mandamus proceeding is
to be brought views with impatience
the treasurer's desire for further
light from the treasurer's private
counsel, concerning matter which
he himself regards as res gesta, rem
dered so by an opinion from the Of
flee of the attorney general, sustain
ing the power of the governor in this
instance. The state engineer reminds
the treasurer that the attorney gem
eral is the official legal adviser Of
the state.
But without disparagement of the
soundness of the opinions of the at
torney generals office, the treasurer,
doubtless has in mind that recently
the governor was advised from that

WHAT BAIT THEY UsE-s

Evidently the old dinosaur that left his tracks
up in the Painted Desert country, fell victim to
the wiles of the real estaters in Southern Cafor-
MIA and was convinced it's tracks would serve a
better purpose over there At least these recently
discovered pedal impressions have walked off
leaving nothing but freshly made crow bar marks
to show where they were made some few million
years ago. Phytosaur skulls said to be 85,000,00O
years old were discovered also in this region, but
knowing the abject honesty of the California boys
who invented the Colorado river, as we do, we are
willing to knock off that last five million years.
since the skulls were in fair state of preserva-
tion when last seen.
From recent political information received from
CALIFORNIA; fountain of propaganda, we learn that
the Painted Desert was originally designed and
painted by a Los Angeles man and donated to that
city along with the Petrified Forest, which ne and
a group of friends had petrified during OH eve
ning's conversation around the camp fire.

EMERGENCY RATIONS

The state highway department financial af-
fairs bid fair to always remain deep mystery
Governor Hunt in his message to the fifth special
session of the legislature says:
IF the highway department had been
closed in January and no further work per-
formed, these bills would now all be paid and
there would be no outstanding indebtedness.
However, as you are aware, the department
continued operation for several months under
the expectation that it's needs would be
cared for"

LET PLAQUES RAGE

Now, according to the state board of medicine
DOCTORS we will not be able to raise crop OF new
doctors in this state for two years. or at least until
the legislature appropriates funds for the state
board to create more. 1t transpres that the pres-
dent of the state board has been drawing down a
salary of $4,000 per year for his arduous task of
holding a couple board meetings year to provide
the necessary supply of fresh young doctors. The
legislature, in it's abject ignorance thought that
license fees charged to keep up the activities
of the board and that no salaries were paid mem
bers of the board. We hope this information along
with the firm decision of our state medical board
will make the people all sick-of politics.

ARIZONA'S GOOD NAME

An exchange says that the good name of Ari-
zona is at stake on account of the big debt piled
up by the highway department, and insists the
legislature should pay it at once. We might add
that the good name of Arizona has been at stake
too Iong-ted to political steak, and regardless
of what may now happen in this particular in
stance it will take several years to overcome the
nationwide impression, which we have Willingly
or unwittingly manufactured here at home, that
our love Of politics overrides our love of state.
