THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1920
STATE RENTED ISO

COUNTY
Complaint from Tucson has reached
Secretary F. c. Christy of the Arizona
Automobile association that the de
Tont of the state engineer had been
yentins- trucks it had purchased from
in department of agriculture to pri
vate parties. The r;p:ht of the state
0 Pngineer to mal:e such a use of the
-rucks in competition with dealers in
-rucks was questioned.
RPlyInsr to Mr. Christy, who broupht
tne complaint to his attention, the
state engineer said that none of the
irucKs ot the department had been
Panted to private persons, but that at
the request of the city of Phoenix some
tracks had been rented for work in
connection with the construction of its
pipe line; also trucks had been rented
to the county for road work at a nom
inal rental.
State Engineer Maddock made a part
of his reply, a letter ho had received
irom E. S. "Wheeler, district engineer
af the Bureau of Public Roads, whom
ne addressed on the subject of renting
equipment which the road department
had received from the federal govern -ment.
Mr. Wheeler took the flatter
up by -wire with the Washington office,
which replied, after reciting the sec
tlon from the Itahn bill which pro
vides that the state department Re
arrange for the use of the equipment
Tor the constructing or maintaining of
highways within any state, agencv or
municipality, at a fair rental, the title
is vested in the state: therefore, the
state should determine whether it is
leg-al for it to rent the equipment not
Immediately needed hv it to the mu
nicipality for other than road pur
poses." Ir- Wheeler, in commenting upon
the above telegram, said: "It would
feem that the responsibility for rent-
ing excess war equipment to the mu
nicipality of Phoenix rests entirely
with you. It would appear from the
, telegram that the secretary of agricul
ture has satisfactorily discharged the
duty imposed upon him when he trans
i ferred.the equipment to Arizona."
In his letter of inouirv to Mr. Wheel
er, State Engineer Maddock had men
tioned that some time before the Water
Users association had secured from
the Washington office permission for
the state engineer's department to loan
' the association trucks to be used on
the repairs of the Granite Reef dam.
Regarding that, Mr. Wheeler added:
, "I might suggest, in view of the state
ment in your letter that the Water
Users association secured some of the
equipment for a purpose equally as
fvreign to road work as that proposed
in the city of Phoenix, that the city
officials have the same avenue of ap
proach as that used by the Wafer
Users association."

WHITE'S CANDIDACY
Considerable interest has been
evinced in mining and political circles
over the anouncement that John 1.
V hite of Maricopa county is out for
the Republican nomination for state
mine inspector. Mr. White is widely
known, having been a resident of Ari
zona for 40 years, during most of which
period he has followed practical min
ing. White has worked in almost every
mine m the state, big anil little, which
experience has given him an intimate
knowledge of every property, and a
general knowledge of conditions which
peculiarly fit him for the office which
he is seeking.
From HHiD to 1312 White served as
sheriff of Cochise county, making many
friends there as a result of the effi
cient manner in which he handled that
office. More recently he served as
state employment agent, a position
w-hich has since been consolidated with
the office of the federal employment
agent.
CITY imFffiElT
EVEN BETTER
J. P. O' Conner was brought into
police court on a charge of vagrancy
yesterday.
"What have you been doing?" asked
Judge Thomas.
"Working on a farm for my board
and room."
"And no wages?"
"No, just my board and room."
"The city will treat you better than
that," said the judge, "You can have
your board and room free for the next
20 days. And you will not have to
work while in jail." O'Conner had pre
viously served a term for vagrancy.
Henry Monreal was arrested as soon
as he alighted from the train yester
day morning and before the sun set
began serving a 60-day sentence for
having narcotics in his possessi'on. He
was recognized by an officer at the
depot as a prisoner who had escaped
from the city jail last May. He had
a quantity of morphine in his posses
sion when arrested.

"Liccn.se No. f.9ti? ms spoiled or re

OF I. C. COMMISSION
"The supreme power vested in the
interstate commerce commission in
railroad affairs has already been chal
lenged by those opposed to federal cen
tralization and defenders of state
rights," says a bulletin of the national
chamber of commerce received by the
Phoenix organization.
The bulletin continues: Authority
of the interstate commerce commis
sion to supplant state commissions in
regulating capital securities issued by
railroads has been challenged by the
Michigan utilities commission in con
nection with an application of the New
York Central railroad for permission
to issue collateral trust bonds."
The federal commission only recent
ly received this authority.
ORDER IS REVOKED
The state corporation commission
yesterday rescinded its order summon
ing Oleve Vandyke and I. A. Vandyke,
of the Miami Townsite company, be
fore that body to show cause why they
should not 1 adjudged guilty of con
tempt by failing to comply with the
regulations requiring public utility cor
porations to file an annual report.
After the original order had been
made. William Brookes, attorney for
the Miami Townsite company, appeared
before the commission and showed that
the omission was not wilful but had
been occasioned by stress of busine,
whereupon the order was revoked.
TRUSTFULNESS
I tread my worldly path alone.
Save God who leads me here below.
Before me lies the vast unknown.
Yet He doth guide me where e'er I go.
Though doubts assail me on my road.
And fears possess my weary soul,
God is the giver of all good.
His hand doth lead me to my goal.
My path may stray o'er denrrts wide.
Through rocky waste and wood and
glen.
His arm is ever by my side.
And He doth help the goal to win.
To distant lands my steps may go.
Where lightnings blast the rock and
tree.
Or midst the North's eternal snow.
His presence still abides with me.
Who seeks the truth is purged of sin.
As gold is purified by fire,
God's love is broad as 'twas within.
The days of Nineveh and Tyre.
My faith in Him will e'er endure.
He brings my heart a healing balm.
He guides the faitLiful, firm and sure.
As did The Star of Bethlehem.
My course may lead across the sea.
Where angry surges meet His will.
As ages past on Galilee.
They heard Iiis voice speak: "Peace
be still."
The storms of life I will not heed.
That sweep my path where e'er I
roam.
I know my Father's hand doth lead
My steps to my eternal home.
(Written by Wiley E. Jones. June 23,
1920, on train between Colton and
San Diego, Calif.)

The United States public health
service estimates there is one rat to
each person in the country.
Jim Graham, candidate for constable
in the West Phoenix district, subject
to the action of the Democratic party
at the primaries next Tuesday, receiv
ed a letter from his son. Karl Graham,
of Miami, in which the latter mentions
the recent visit of Judge Stanford to
Miami.
The letter, in part, is as follows:
"Our old friend. Judge Stanford, paid
us a visit in Miami today, meeting
many old friends and acquaintances.
We were all very glad to see him again
and I sincerelv believe he will get
many votes in Miami. I have learned
from good authority the judge also
knows war. as he served in the ranks
in the Spanish-American war. I there
fore feel certain that my buddies of the
340th field artillery will support you
for constable and the judge for the
United States senate."
