HE nANTAm BRIGADE

England's armies filling mp with small men. The minimum height used to be five feet six inches Then it reduced five three because tall men had become scarce Now, with a million and threcquar- tefs of men under in the British Empire and an other million to be recruited even hvefoot volunteers arc welcomed Those ranging from hyo feet to five feet three have their own organization already dubbed "The Bantam Brigade"
 We needn't pity England or her "bantams." how. ever It pointed out by wise man long ago that 'gunpowder makes all men of the same height" And yet tall have always been favored for military serv ice Frederick the Great of Prussia had famous guard seyenfooters The present Prusaan Guard is body sixfooters But its size has accomplished little n Che muddy field Of Flanders against the small Belgian and English
 Military height, once desirable, hasn't much value except for parade. The little Japs proved them selves more effective fighters than the big Russians dwarf can fire rifle or cannon as well as giant and probably better He takes up less in trench le gets about more nimbly he eats and drinks less And he is likely to be shot because he's harder target to hit
 It needn't surprise anyone of those 'bantams" prove to be the best fighters in the army.

TIE WORTH OF OUR WAR MONEY.

We are a peaceful nation that sends enormous sums of money on armament In the last six years our mil tary establishment has Sl4OOOO0OOo. That is about quarter of a billion dollars year. averaging onefourth of the total expenditures of the govern ment foI an purposes whatsoever.
 We regard Germany as the most reckless of nations n her lavish war preparations But Germany has spent regularly very little for her army and navy than we have for ours The obtainable figures show annual disbursement of s294oOoOOO s25OOOOOoC What nave we got to show for money? Certainly efficiency if the critics of both branches war establishment to be credited.
 Have we the worth Of slOOOOOOoo year in an army well trained and easily mobilized, in excellent commissary and hospital service reserve supplies of rifles, ammunition, accoutrements etc, in artilerymon guns and shells for our coast defenses? Have th, worth of our 915OOOOOOO year in modern warshpa soryiceable and fully manned?
 There no need to get excited about the matter We face with a crisis. But the European war discussion such subjects timely and pertinent One the things the public is going t' insist on knowing is:
 Haven't we been spending enough money all thls' years for war purposesg And if so, why haven't w' got the worth of our money?7

SANTA FE WITHDRAWS
 COUNTY TAX SUIT

PHOENIX, Nov 27.-All he tax suits filed by the Santa Fe Railroad company in the superior courts Of Mohaye, Yayapai, Coconino Navajo and Apache counties have been with- drawn Notification to this effect has been received by the state tax com mission from George G TunnelL head of Che santa Fe tax department
 The tax commissioners sitting as board of equalization. raised the valuations fixed by the county author tiles on nearly all the Santa Fe grant lands in northern Arizona. When the equalzers finished their work Che yal- uations ranged from 70 cents 10 S8.52 an acre Suits were then lled iu the various superior courts to oppose those valuations Those suits came from the land department Recently the matter was turned over to tbe companys tax department which decided not to continue the litigation.
 It is probable that some time next year the tax commission win attempt to classify the railroad grant lands in order that valuations can be fixed ,more intClugently.

HE ANARCHISTS

There are anarchists and anarchists New York "reds brag that there 11OOO of them in that city. They range all the way from "phosophic anarchists down to the thugs who blow mp churches and leave bombs in courtrooms. They agree in the general idea that society isn't properly adjusted but there's world of difference in the way they go about to suashten it out
 The romb.thrower who has been conspicuous late ly in New York doesn't the title anarchist [" He's just plain murderer in deed or in desire. He ought to be hunted down like man-eating tiger. And yet it's dangerous to hunt him, for relentless punish ment is termed persecution" by tBe lawless cohorts and is likely to lead worse outbreaks All the po- lice properly do is to try to catch the actual per peraors of crimes; they powerless against thos, who plot them in secret and against the intellectual anarchists whose words inname the unrenectng
 Anarchism may be defensibe-in a community oi perfect men and women. Herbert Spencer the great soR5Hst and philosopher, regarded anarchy or abso- freedom of the individual from social restraint as the ideal state of society But it was to be attained cnly after many centuries discipline that would re- move from mems hearts all desire for unsocia acts.
 Possibly the angels in heaven are anarchists. They don't need law because it doesn't occur to them to dc wrong. But here and now we do need law and police ais And the philosophic anarchists whose hearts may be right but whose heads are wrong, who them wouldn't iniure their feow-men but who insist on spreading that move evil hearts to violence these high-brow anarchists had better come out o their dreamy millennium and keep quiet. If they don't society will be forced to muzzle them all in spite o it's ASlerance and love of free speech

vALulne LIE RAILRoAps

Charles A. Prouty in charge of the Interstate Com merce Commissions inquiry into the value of the coun trys railroads that the of this work will be not less than S5OOOOOOO of which the govern ment will pay S15OOOOOO and the railroads sS5OOOOOO
 Last February, shortly after his appointment as di. rector of valuation Mir Prouty told the Cham Der of Commerce that it would cost $12O0OOOO The original estimate, when the undertaking ordered by congress at the end Of the Taft administration was s6OOOoOO Perhaps neither of the low took into consideration the big expense imposed the rail roads The estimate of the time required has risen from five years to ten.
 The job is worth doing and there's no doubt that it's big job But this going pretty far If it is going to take ten years to find what the railroads worth when the task is done it may require another de- cade to find what they are worth then And if the ex ponse keeps on mounting according to it's present rate 1t might eventually be as cheap to buy the railroads as to figure their value
