PHOENIX, February 19. Consider
able intcrost is manifested here in the
merits of tho bill which has been in
troduced into tho council to prohibit
persons, firms or companies from using
script checks, punch-outs or other evi
dence of indebtedness payable in other
wise than their faco value in money,
or to compel employees to purchase
goods of any particular Htores. Tho
measure will not affect tho merchants
'of Phoonix but many other cities in
Arizona aro directly concerned in tho
passage of the bill, which is similar
to the law passed in Montana and
Now Mexico. It will bo fought uutd
by tho largo mining companies, how
ever. Relative to this bill, C. R. Temple, a
realty man of Douglas, who is in tho
city, stated iho following today in an
intOrviow with your correspondent:
"Thero i&r a condition prevalent in
certain cities, notably Uisbeo, Douglas
and Clifton, whereby certain powerful
mining corporations maintain general
merchandise stores whoso immense prof
its aro taken irom tho wage earners
and at tho disastrous expense of every
independent business interest in the
communities where the big companies'
dopartment stores are maintained.
"It is an old saying that figures do
not Ho. Figures here are eloquent. Tho
payrolls of the districts and cities are
as follows: Warren district, $47.'5,000
monthly; Copper Queen and Calumot L
Arizona smelters at Douglas, $120,000
roll, $30,000. Tho bank debits in Bis
beo December, 190S, wcro $1,9I3,1GS;
in Douglas, $611,301; and the combined
population of Bisbcc and Douglas is
about 30,000.
"The city of Tucson, with a popnla.
tion of over 20,000, has a possible pay
roll of $100,000 monthly. During the
season fivo hundred tourists spcud an
averago of $10 per day for four mouths;
let us assume that outside of these
two sources of incomo Tucson has a trib
utary payroll of $200,000. This gives
Tucson a possible revenue of $3,600,000
exclusivo of her jobbing trade. In less
than two years wo havo seen Tucson
develop from an insignificant Mexican
pueblo into a city of ovor 20,000 inhab
itnnts. On tho other baud certain con
ditions have made Bisbco and Douglas
with payrolls exceeding ovor $7,000,000
per annum tho slowest towns in business
development.
"It is estimated that a deduction for
tho Copper Queen stores of these two
cities amounts to 65 per cent of the pay-
rolls, or $409,500. Tho averago profit
of tho stores is 25 per cont, figuring on
which basis but 35 per cent of tho pay
rolls or $221,500 reaches general circu
lation. "If tho present systom which tho
law will abolish, wore not jn cfToct and
Douglas and Bishop had ono hundred
and twenty-fivo mn chants, with a front
age of thirty feo. each, this would givo
us (ix blocks, tlirou hundred foot on
each side of tho street, and tho average
earnings of each merchant would be
$9,828 por year, based on the present
payroll, wero tho business equally dis
tributed. Tho average wage per day in
tho Warron district is $1.00, or $120
por month. Thero are -1,000 men em
ployed, making a monthly payroll of
$480,000, and tho distribution of this
amount at an averago of $8,000 to each
merchant would give sixty merchants
a daily business of $266, from which
at 10 per cent profit thoy would cam
$9,000 per annum. But arguing from
and earning an annual profit of $1,350,
000. When you are conversant with the
facts and conditions as thoy now exist
in Douglas and Bisbco you must agrco
that unless eomo remedy is provided the
independent merchants will bo forced
out of business, which will mean tho
practical extinction of good values of,
busiuess real estate.
"I might cito you Globe, with no com
pany stores and with a payroll practi
cally the same as Clifton, a closed mor
cantilo town, has bank deposits of
$S75,000, while Clifton bank deposits
aro but $222,000. Globe is a prosperous
town, bidding fair with Tucson and
Phoonix for the population banner of
tho territory, whilo in Bisbcc, much of
tho profits go back to tho corporation
coffers in Hcyr York city. Existing
conditions have in a great measure pre
vented rallrbad development. Tho leg
islature will work out a remedy. Wo
will within a short timo hear tho toot
of tho Southern Pacific whistles."

was wound to take it out of tho well,
and a slight scratch on tho thumb of
tho left hand.

rancher was held in high esteem here,
not only because ho was related to somo
of tho best people of this community,
but because of his lovable character
and kindly, disposition.
"I don't think I can remember hav

of Globe yesterday. "Everybody who
knew him liked him, for ho was one
of the bet men that ever lived."

Mans Best Business
Asset is Reputation
(St. Louis Republic.)
A good reputation is a man's best
trademark.
Reputation is not what a man thinks
of himself, but' what others think of
him.
A man's estimate of himself isn't
apt to pass current.
Most men would puf the value far
too high.
Some few would put it too low.
Generally the estimate is in inverse
ratio to the value
An unprejudiced public may bo trust
ed to strike a just level.
When it is announced that a new
muscle-working device has been invent
ed thq world is skeptical.
If it is stated that Edison is tho in
ventor, skepticism is changed to faith.
In the reputation of the Wizard of
Mcnlo tho public puts its trust.
N. P. Willis, who is scarcely remem
bered by a succeeding generation, con
sidered nirasclf the greatest American
poet.
That was Willis's estimate.
Bryant, Longfellow and Holmes set
themselves upon no pedestal, but their
reputations wero and are secure.
They rest upon tho estimate of the
public.
Wfl can build, but wo cannot dictate
a reputation.
A prominent western advertiser was
oni.c asked what he considered tho most
essential clement in advertising. His re
ply was: "Reputation!" "A pngo ad
vertisement," Eaid he, "is of little val
uo unless the man making the announce
ment has a reputation to back it up."
Reputation multiplies tho valuo of
printer's ink.
When, after a lapse of fifteen years,
it was announced that Verdi had writ
ten a new opera, the musical world was
on the "tiptoe of expectancy."
It was not tho title of the opera, nor
tho Shakcsperean theme, nor any star
cast that aroused public interest.
It was Verdi.
"Rigolctto," "Trovatore," "Travi
ata," and "Aida" had established his
reputation.
"Otello's" reception was cordial as
a natural consequence.
Tho man in whom tho public puts
its trust is tho man who points tho
way to great ovents.
Reputation is worth more than riches.
Wealth in the hands of one who is
discredited becomes a curse.
"I havo lost my reputation, and what
remains is bestial!" cries Cassio.
He who is without reputation is like
a rudderless ship wthout a sail.
A tree of a century's growth can bo
felled in an hour.
So with reputation! Difficult to at
tain, priceless to possess, it must bo
jealously guarded.
Tho public is hard to win, but easy
to lose. '
A reputation is too valuablo an asset
to bo sacrificod to greed.
It is fo valuable that it should be tho
aim of every man to attain.
