northern Arizona, were also crafty
ing To the stockholders and were re-
ceiVed with expressions of satisfac-
ton. The reduction of liabilities to

prising than was the announcement

pons, and that not "A dollar had been

CARPENTERS STATEMENT.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir:-Whereas there seems TO be an
impression in the mind of the public
that the union carpenters of Phoenix
allowed the work on the Adams hotel
to progress to a certain stage at the
scale of wages existing at the time of
the beginning of the work and then
arbitrarily raised the scale to a higher
rate. thus retarding the work and
embarrassing the contractors, we, the
aforesaid carpenters union wish 70
make this statement to the public
that all contractors and the general
public were notified through the
press and otherwise six months ago
that the union scale of wages for
carpenters would be raised to $500
per day on the first of May, thus
giving contractors and others con-
cerned ample time to protect them
selves in estimating costs.
And further we wish To state that
this is not an Adams Hotel striks
nor a strike of any kind 1t IS SIM
plv our request for a scale of wages
in a measure comparative with the
wages paid other building trades
men, Whlcn are pdSeu Oh 'i4O A"~N ~
few. if any, building artisans are EN-
ployed steadily throughout a year, but
from the building conditions existing
in any city are compelled to be idle
greater or less part of the year. and
the apparent high rate per day must
necessarily tide them through the
idle parts of the year.
We are led to make this explanation
from belief that the public has not
viewed our case from all sides of the
question.

FAMOUS EDUCATORS BIRTHDAY

DR.. Nicholas Butler, head of CO.
lu1nbia University. member of the
National Civic Federation, member of
the American Academy of Arts and
Letters and almost every other schol-
astic organization in this country and
several in Europe, IS 40. He was
born April 2, 1862. DR.. Butler is
without question, one Of the half-doz-
en- leading men in education in the
United States. The honors which have
come to him are as great as those
which have been shown to any man
in the country, for to be a member of
the American Academy of Arts and
Letters means that one has achieved
notable things in "art, music and lit
erature." The membership of this So
ciety is limited to $50 persons.
AS an index to the personality and
character of the man, it may be stat
ed that DR.. Butler is a close friend of
Colonel Roosevelt, and during the lat
ter's administration as president of
the United States he offered DR.. But
ler several high places, among them
the Enthusiastically to the court of
st. James. What is especially note
worthy is the fact that he is now COM
paratively a young man. Cambridge
University, England, has conferred
upon him the degree of Doctor OF
Laws. He has lectured at the uni
versities Of Copenhagen, Stockholm
and Christiana.

SPOKANE IS PREPARING
FOR ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION

Spokane, Wash, April 4.-One Of
the most unique and wholesome spec
tacles ever witnessed on this conti-
nent will be the cleaning and special
arbor day celebration in Spokane the
latter part of April, when the city
commissioners will cooperate with the
residents in an effort to make Spo-
kane a "spotless town." Mayor Will
liam ]. Hindley will proclaim a pub
lie holiday to start the campaign after
which the city beautiful committee Of
the chamber of commerce and allied
organizations will take charge.
"Our arrangements are not yet
completed" Mayor Hindley said, "but
1 believe we can bring out from 45,-
900 to $4,000 men and women, in
Guiding railroad and bank presidents
manufacturers, wholesale and retail
dealers and society matrons, on the
opening day to assist in beautifying
the residence districts. The city
crematory department will take care
Of the business streets and alleys, and
special detachments of firemen will be
on hand to avert fires. The refuse
will be destroyed under their direc-
ton"
Aubrey Lee White, president Of the
Spokane park commission, is the or
iginator of the municipal cleaning
day plan. first worked out in this city
early in the spring Of 1906 through
the city beautiful committee Of the
10000 club, now headed by C. Her.
hort Mnnra rDprIty 80 a
city. 1t has become an annual insti-
tuition in Spokane and has been la
ken up by other cities in the United
States and the dominion of Canada.
The city beautiful committee is de-
clared to be one Of the best organ
lied bodies in America. In addition
to the chairman and permanent sec
retary, there is a vice chairman in
each ward, a captain in each pre-
cinct and a lieutenant in every block
within the incorporated city limits.
There also Is a joint committee of 20
business men, making up the SUBJ
committees on cleaning day, public
buildings, parks, driveways and al
leys, streets, bridges AMI tree plant
ing. The joint committee meete
twice a week, when plans are submit
ted for discussion. and upon adoption
the work is carried out through the
captains in the various wards.
The older boys in colleges and high
schools are organized to assist the
officers of the association in report
ing districts or lots that require at
tention. The capt-.ns and lieutenants
Of the companies of boys make tours
Of every block in their neighborhoods,
to oversee the work. They are SUP
piled with blanks to make reports on
the location Of ashpiles, refuse-litter-
ed alleys, neglected lawns and trees
and broken fences and sidewalks,
and-as soon as these are checked the
work Of betterment begins.
The success of the several cam
paigns resulted in the formation Of
a civic plan commission, consisting
Of so liberal and esthetically educat-
ed business and professional men to
work out a practical program for|
water, sewer, Transportation, parks
and boulevard system and municipal
art In Spokane for the next SO years.

No Permanent or Effective National
Guard Can Be Built Up Without
Adequate Pay.

1 am strongly of the opinion that
no permanent and effective national
guard or reserve army can ever be
built up unless the members thereof
are paid and paid adequately, for the
amount of training required is con-
tinually increasing, and as this train
ing must be obtained outside of the
time which each individual devotes to
his business or trade, 1t is becoming
more and more burdensome. More
over, the organized militia, which
comprises perhaps l per cent Of the
unorganized militia, is doing the work
which ought, in a republic, to fall up
on every voter; that is, the prepara-
ton for service in war for the de-
fense Of the country.-Adjutant-
eral Pearson, of Massachusetts, in
