|ONLY DRAWBACK IF THIS CITY
NIr. Tucker of London, Eng land, Says Climate is All Right as Advertised, But American Plan Hotels Are Needed

Are Needed
 Mir. A. @. Tucker of London England, has been visitor of the city for the
 past week He came to Phoenix on
 the recommendation of his physician in London who advised the climate of
 southern or central Arizona for one
 who could not endure the London fOgs
 in the winter time and who desired q dryer climate than that of the south eastern part of the country, The last five winters have been spent by Mir Tuck
 CT at Miami, Florida, but the climate there is q little more moist than he desired.
 The climate of Phoenix, said MT. Tucker had sc far proved to be all that it had been held out to him to be. In fact, iti mere delightful than he eX- pected. Bue he was disappointed in one respect and so seriously that it is doubtful whether he can remain. He had expected to find here d first class hotel conducted on the American plan for such d hotel is generally appurte- l nant to any town that bids for tourist patronage. Phoenix, he said had eX cellent hotels but they are all conduct ed on the European plan.
 Mir. Tucker reiterated his apprecia- tion of the excellent European plan ho- tel facilities of Phoenix. Said he: For | one who expects to remain in the city only q comparatively short time. noth ] ing more is tG be desired but one with , d family, prepared to pay for home comforts. wearies of the necessarily unhomelikc features of the European 1 pian The great popularity of Miami, Florida is du3 in great measure to it's 1 excellent and many American hotels. With such facilities and your delight l fu climate and surroundings, Phoenix should become one of the great resorts
 of the country It is already widely
 and favorably known on both sides of
 the Atlantic"
 l He had expected to be joined at the end of the week by his brother Dr. N. Tucker of Mount Gilead, Ohio, with q party of five and all intended to re- l side in the city during the winter. But,
 unless suitable location, providing
 such home comforts as the party de- | sires can be located within day or | two. another winter resort will be sought.
 pr. Tucker is the discoverer of the | famous Tucker asthma remedy which
 for the last twenty years has been sold :, all over the world MT A. Q. Tucker, though having many interests in this
 country, which by the way, is his na | tive country. went to London fifteen 1 years ago to look after the European l business. Though he is q thorough an i American as ever and says that the
 United States is the only government upon which the sun smiles, he has
 thoroughly familiarized himself with
 British politics and newt 10 American, | he prefers British life.
 He left London about the middle of October. At that time" said he the country had begun to recover from the surprising shock of the war. It had come as lightning out of the clear sky. Army and navy officers and many
 statesmen had believed it to be inevit able but they had not expected it at l this time or in the early future. To the man in the street the war was wholly unexpected.
 There is no boubt in the mind of any Englishman as to the outcome of it and there is not an Englishman who does not want it fought to a finish. Everywhere is heard the declaration that militarism must come to an end
 on the European continent. Nations will not be permitted longer to burden themselves with huge armies and navles in readiness to fly at one anoth- CTS threats The horrors of the pres ent war has impressed them and added to the dissatisfaction with which they have yielded their wealth for the sup port of armies and navies.
 Tn this country you complain be- cause you have to pay an income tax of one per cent We have been for years paying a rate of seven per cent on our incomes and few weeks after the beginning of the war this rate was increased to fourteen per cent. You will hear everywhere in England. This is kings war Back of that is threat which will be carried sometime into execution. Without kings there would have been no such war. Kings, royalty must go. Royalty was once ! held sacred by Englishmen. Royalty was one of their greatest assets. But within the last three months all this | sentiment has been changed.
 | England has been moving uncon- I sciously in this direction for some years. Changes have occurred within my residence in that country. the pre- 1 diction of which fifteen years ago would have excited ridicule. You know
 that the power of the house of lords | has been greatly curtailed. It must undergo further curtailment. In q
 recent speech Mir. Asquith spoke of further reform of the house of lords. l He did mot ely so hut he was under-
