never been convincing to advertisers, those who are most interested.
 Wags' proposition is foolishly based upon the assumption that there is some doubt as to the comparative value of the advertising columns of The Republican and Wags. As a matter of fact, there is no such doubt The merchants and the business men of Phoenix entertain none and they are always the best judges of the value of newspapers for advertising. Their judgment is given daily in The Republicans advertising pages. Such judgment is always awarded on a basis of results.
 Nor is it likely that anybody else in Phoenix is so dense as to harbor a suspicion that there could be a com parisOn between the circulation of Ways with it's 500-word press report and that of The Republican with its complete daily Associated Press re- port, though Wags' meager service is supplemented by a glittering array of glassware.

REAPPEARANCE OF WAGS
 WITH A BRACE GAME
FOR AGE IT RIVALS THE ANTI
 QUATED SHELL AND BALLS.
Wags Expects a Committee of Sem sibIe Citizens to Confide in Its Sub scription List.

"Wags" has emerged from its ken decency Tne present outbreak of Wags seems to have for its object a wish to prove that it is an adver- Using medium equal to any other in Phoenix and it submits a hilarious proposition to The Republican to en- gage in a brace game which Wags has been painstakingly preparing for some weeks.
 Ways wants a comparison by a committee, of it's circulation with that of The Republican, the comparison to be limited as to time by the date of the challenge" That is a sus- picious condition in itself, apparently imposed for the purpose of fooling the committee. Why should there be such a limitation at all unless Wags has a greater or less number of short term subscribers attracted by its dis tributiOn of cheap glassware, whose subscriptions are now about to eX- pire?
 Wags imposes another condition. a limitation of the comparison to the city of Phoenix. It is a well known fact that the bulk of the merchants patronage Comes from the rural dis tricts, from along the rural free de- livery routes, where Wags has no circulation worth speaking of. while fully eighty per cent of the patrons of the various routes are subscribers of The Republican, a ratio which cir culation experts say is the most re- markable on record.
 Besides, the comparison proposed by Wags would prove nothing unless both sides are honest, and we know of no one in Phoenix who believes Ways is honest. This kind of a com parison has always proved useless whenever it has been tried. In has

Flag Day.

Flag day is to be celebrated this
year on June 5. The usual date for
this is June IA, but as this falls on
Sunday it was decided to postpone ii
a day. The American Flag associat-
ton has sent out lengthy circular
to mayors, press, schools, societies
etc, calling attention to the custom
which has been observed for the past
eleven years and calling for a dem
onstration. June 14,1777, congress
enacted the measure deciding on the
flag and prescribing it, The Ameri-
can flag thus virtually came into ex-
istence on that day. Or April 4,
1918, Is was enacted that the num-
Der Of stripes should be thirteen but
that the number of stars should be
dependent upon the number of states
in the union. There are, now 46
states and consequently &C stars.

A DANGER SIGNAL.

The Rapid Breaking Down of Municipal
Lighting Plants All Over the Coun-
try Is . Warning Against Further
Ventures In That Direction.
The census report based upon statis-
tics gathered in 1902 showed that of
S2S municipal electric light plants only
thirteen had been leased, sold or aban.
doned. During the last fourteen
months at least thirty such plants have
reverted to private operation, more
than twice as many as in all the years
preceding 1908. Put in another way,
this means that in 1902 there was only
one admitted failure out of every sixty.
four attempts at municipal operation,
while today the ratio, has risen until
1t Is one out of every twelve.
The reason of this'is not far to seek.
In 1902 the great majority of munich
pal plants were only a few years old.
Their original installation had not yet
worn out, and attention had not gener-
ally been called to the misleading book
keeping which made possible seeming
ly low rates by ignoring such necessary
items as interest,". depreciation and re-
newals, legal service and the. services
rendered. by other city departments at
the cost of the taxpayers Now. how
ever, many of these plants find that
their equipment is worn out ,or so out
of date as to be pnecon0Wicl and that
adequate provision has hot been made
for paying OF the original bonded in
debtedness or providing fol renewal
Of the equipment. ~ M ~
The lack On Intelligent care on the
part Of politically. appointed superin-
tehdents has frequently been response
esfor the breakdowhsof plants before
the expected time. while the rapid de-
yeiopment of the industry has ma$
the old methods relatively so expensive
that. many citieAthave found it more
economical to pocket their loss long
before the equipment had worn out,
finding 1T cheaper to make contracts
With companies whose plants are more
modern.
