A™SAFE BANK
When men sene out circulars with fairy tales about 600 or 150 or
or 50 per cent per annum, the financial investor had better put his
money in the bank. It is better to be sure of 3 per cent and one's
principal than to luxuriate on 150 per cent dividends for two or three
weeks and then lose both dividends and principal.
How true the above article. Can you not call to mind men who
have wasted their entire sustenance on some crazy get-rich-quick scheme?
Let us care for your investment. You may have times of thinking
that this old l ank is slow. But paste this in your hat, brother:
SHE IS SAFE.

SECOND EXTRA
SESSION IS CALLED
Os the List of Subjects Presented, Land Legis
lation is Foremost—Abolition of Capital
Punishment Recommended.
The second extraordinary session!
of the second legislature of Arizona
was convened last Tuesday at 10
o’clock. The call of Governor Hunt
was issued Saturday.
It had been made known by the
governor to members of the legisla
ture that the call would designate
the time for assembling, but they
were left in the dark as- to the re
commendations that would be includ
ed in the call.
It gives to the legislature a much j
broader scope than had been expect
ed. It lays out a program for whose
execution sixty days may easily be
required. Foremost is the subject of
land legislation to which it. was
thought the legislature might be lim
ited, but *t is silent as to mine tax
legislation. The subject of prohibi
tion legislation is taken up in the
call. The substitution of life im
prisonment for capital punishment is
recommended.
Altogether fifteen subjects are in
cluded many of them relatiing to mat
ters that failed in the regular ses
sion. The governor recommends also
pVovision for the incorporating de
partment of the corporation commis
sion which was purposely omitted by
the senate in the making up of the
general appropriation bill. Likewise
the go' c nor recommends an appro
priation for the payment of the sala
ries of the land commission, from
March 11 to July 1 of this year
That was also stricken out of the
appropriation bill by the senate. The
tall follows:
Whereas, The Second legislature of
the State of Arizona, during the reg
ular session for the consideration of
general subjects, which was con
cluded on March 11th, 1915, did not
make necessary statutory provision
for the administration of state lands
and for sundry other matters which
hav been brought to the attention
of the governor of Arizona;
Whereas, The first special session
of the second legislature of ,the
State of Arizona, which was called
on April 23rd, 1915, for the special
purpose of authorizing a tax levy!
and collection and for the enactment
of a general appropriation measure 1
as provided by the state constitu
tion, was ended May 28th, 1915;
Whereas, The need of new legisla
t'd] in relation to the State lands, in
lelief -of flood sufferers in Apache
and Navajo counties, and relative to
orber matters of various degrees of
importance is undeniably essential;
Now, Therefore, I, Geo. W. P.
Hunt, governor of Arizona, in con
sideration of thg premises and by
irtue of the authority in me vested
by the constitution, do hereby con
vene the second state legislature in

SECESSION IS
PROCLAIMED
WICKENBURG PROPOSES THE
MAKING UP OF NEW COUNTY,
TO BE CALLED “HASSAYAMPA,”
WITH THAT CITY AS CAPITAL.
The people of Wickenburg, headed
by the board of trade of that city,
have started a movement for county
division and they are in dead earnest
about it. The proposed new county
' is to be called “Hayssampa,” and is
j to be made up of a piece taken from
! the southeren part of Yavapai coun
■ ty, another chunk from the western
section of Maricopa county and the
j northern half of Yuma county—pro
vided, however, that the people of
J this part of Yuma are favorable to
the scheme —and Wickenburg is to
be the county 'seat.. Meetings it
would seem have been held in Wick
enburg by the board of trade and the
citizens of that locality and the mat
ter thoroughly discussed.
They have a grievance, no doubt a
just one, and they propose that this
thing shall be settled forthwith or at
least during the present special ses
sion of the Arizona legislature, so
to that end a delegation composed of
Charles T. Davis, J. H. Mulholland
and George B. Upton, representing
the Wickenburg board of trade and
citizens of that section, - came to Par
ker last Wednesday evening to see
how the people of this locality felt
in regard to secession and to ascer
tain. the sentiment relative to join
ing the proposed confederacy agree
able to the plans above stated.
An informal meeting was accord
ingly held on the sidewalk in front
of M.iskell’s place, during the evening,
which, for an impromptu affair, was
fairly well attended. Messrs. Mulhol
land and Davis outlined their plan.
They declared that the people of
their section have no idea of seced
ing from their present allegiance
simply for the fun of the thing or for
the novelty of an excitement, but
they have been forced to the serious
consideration of the question by the
ill treatment, neglect and bad faith
of the present counties in which they
pay their taxes. There would be
some toleration of these things were
it not for the fact that they have
been done openly, deliberately, and
with every disregard of the rights
of the citizens who pay their same
pro rata share of the taxes of the
state and county as do the denizens
of the more favored and pampered
sections.
“The people who live in the nor
thern part of Yuma and Maricopa
counties, and in the southern part of
Yavapai, and those who have vested
interests in these scetiosn, every one
pay the same pro rata part of the
public assessment as those who are
located nearer to the county capitals,
but, with the single exception of the
bridge across the Hassayampa river
at Wickenburg, there cannot be point
ed out a single benefit that the deni
zens of thg territory mentioned have
received from the counties to which
they pay tribute.
"The feeling among the promoters
of the propaganda for the new coun
ty is that, as they have had to pay
the county in which they lived the
pro rata tax, and, in addition, go
down in their pockets and pay for
the things that the county should
have done witfi the money it had re
ceived from them, they might as well
so environ themselves as to get the
benefit of the public fund, and thus
relieve themselves of the double
strain.”
The sentiment of the meeting, as
far as our people were concerned,
seemed to he that while we had a
full appreciation of the situation as
stated, and thg moral support of this
section of Yuma county was extend
'd to them in the promotion of their
cause, yet we did not favor entering
; nto the proposed confederation for
the simple reason that should the
time come when the division of Yuma
county would be deemed expedient,
we feel that this section of Yuma is
large enough and its resources and
taxable property amply sufficient
to enable us to “stand on our own
bottom” and handle thg proposition
alone.

to Parker Saturday.
