slate with honest men"

welt ealle, to the crowd: Goodbye,
honest men"

badges
Il have noticed several Taft badges
in your town. he said in his speech,
"and they are the appropriate color of

performance than that of the Republi-
can managers at the Chicago convention
and the badges are Just the right color.
The man who puts one on shows that he
has yellow streak somewhere"
The colonel attacked the Republican
national committee in his speech at

HOW ABOUT T
 MIR. CITIZEN
Is the Office of Surveyor General Worth Making
 a Fight For
TIMELY QUESTION
 FOR PHOENIX FOLK

It is said Phoenix has a good chance to lose the office of surveyor general. The governments lease on the present quarters in the capitol building will expire July 1st. The quarters in the federal building will not be available probably before next winter The state has more offices than office room in the capitol and is not anxious to extend the governments lease. Indeed. it is understood the governor has indicated his intention of not doing so, the state offices being his first concern.
 Surveyor General Ingalls, intimates that he cannot afford to sit idly by and see the roof taken off his office with out making some plans for getting un- der shelter To that end he has sent blanks to Tucson and Prescott asking those interested to make an offer on quarters that meet the specifications demanded by his office. He wants to know where he can go in the event he has to leave Phoenix.
 It is said if Phoenix cares about re- taining the surveyor generals office it is time to see of some influence can not be brought to bear on the governor to extend the lease on the quarters in the capitol building until the federal building is completed.
 It is thought little planning could keep things moving for a while that without noticeably interfering with the normal expansion of the new state.
 It is said by those who have figured on the matter that the office of the surveyor general, with all it's employees, 4. the field service, which makes this Headquarters. together with the visi- tors who come here to do business with the office, is worth in round numbers from $SO,OOO to $100,OOO a year; where fore it is asked. could it be business judgment tO let q matter of a hundred thousand dollars slip away just through careleSsness and inactivity.
