 Among the suggestions made. were: Capitalization of control; no reduction of salaries: uniform system of account ing in all the districts; central purch- asing agency; commission form of gov ernment for the entire school system of the state; election of school super

THE MiD-WlNTER NUMBER OF
 THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

On the first day of every January the Los Angeles Times issues an an- nual which it calls it's 'Midwinter Number" and which by reason of it's great size and attractiveness, and mirroring as it does, such a pictures que section of the country, has be- come famous throughout the earth. The coming "Midwinter Number of The Times will consist of six ma ga zine parts of 32 pages each, making 1S2 pages in all, and thirty large pages additional in the regular news sheets of January 1. The first four parts of this beautiful annual are already of the press and have come to hand; and they indicate what the character of the publication will be. In text and illustrations it will tell the whole story of the Southwest covering every conceivable feature of life and industry, from orange growing and cotton raising to mid winter yachting and golf links. The annual is printed in colors on super fine paper. the parts neatly bound. Some of the scenic color plates, elec
 tTotyped and issued from The Times tri-color printing machine, are as fine as one sees in the best maga- zines. Unlike most publications of this sort, the "Midwinter' carries a large and preponderance of reading matter and illustrations instead of advertising It is full of undistorted facts, gathered with great care and expressed with moderation, reliably informing to all who desire to learn about conditions in Southern Cali fornia and the Southwest; and it has an unusual apeal because of it's locale, the sunny Southland be- ing famous for it's rare and remark
 able themes of broad human inter- est The "Midwinter' will be read with uncommon attention this Season for the reason that it devoted so much attention to the two worlds fairs. the Panama Pacific Exposition at San Francisco and the Panama California fair at San Diego, to be held in 1915, the latter opening Janu- ary l.

National Prohibition

Tine people of this country may Tot have chance national prohibition next year or year after that. but the opportunity is on the way. Undoubtedly the prohibition question will be made issue in the campaign of 1916, in spite of the assertion of its opponents that politi- cai question. They perhaps, that it is not d partisan question: and that a very different mat ter All the national conventions year after next disregard it and all may declare that it is not political; they may say that properly national. but their declarations will be without force
 It may not in 1916 be made national party issue, but it will be issue in practically every congressional district in the United States and n of them it will be the overshadowing one. The late of many candidate for congress will be de- termined solely by his attitude this question.
 The people, with the greater power they have received and have begun using, have much moro 10 do with the forming Of issues than formerly. Instead of being with the menu which poli- ticians have been preparing for them in conventions they ordering dishes of their own. They may ,-not all times order what is best for them but they ordering nevertheless
 Those who opposing the submission of this question to the people occupying the last line of defenses They have fallen back on states rights These trenches have been occupied in earlier con fcts but the defenders have invariably been driven out of them and put flight state has no right that may not be taken from it by the process Of amending the federal constitution by constitu- tonal number of voters in the required number of states.
 What would be the fate of a proposed prohibi- ton amendment is matter of conjecture Though the greater of the United States is dry, II is by means certain that all of the dry states would favor national prohibition Indeed the states rights sentiment in the southern states q majority of which dry might initiate against the success of the amendment. Those who regard prohibition moral issue would of course sup it. but it is doubtful majority of the voters do not regard it economic rather than a neral question.
 But, whatever the views voters entertain it is evident that they want express them, on one side the other, at election the amendment Those who throw n obstacle in the way of such expression harming the cause for which they stand.

As to Clerical Positions

We have received letter from reader, whose name does not appear in his communication which relates to two matters which are now of great in- terest The first is the employment of clerks and other attaches in the legislature and the state of that several such non-resdents persons the constitution is being violated But if the employees are women, the constitution offers no bar.
 We believe, with correspondent, that all public positions in Arizona should be occupied by Arzonians if they fill them acceptably outsiders Our citizens should be given the preference. but not unbreakable monopoly. We imagine, though that there not a clerkshir, either in the the legislature which d qualified resident applicant could be easily found.
 But this does not seem to be the main thing. after all. These positions not created for the accommodation of the people, that is, to furnish them employment, but for the conduct of the public business, and it should be the chief aim of the ap pointing powers that only enough positions are created for the transaction business properly and that they be filled with the efficient per- sons.
 With the second matter of which spondent writes, in the fullest accord. He says:
 The second matter I wish to bring to your notice is one that think even important than the above mentioned. However, 1t is along the same line and will do for the young people of the state than any other thing you could do for them. It is the passing of first-class civil service

Near the end of the year, nearly six months after the beginning of the greatest in history there is indication of decisive result. The has inflicted a series of surprises, setting naught the predictions of army and navy experts of all nations. Few things have happened that experience would lead to believe would happen. If the Ger dash toward Paris seriously believed by the Kaisers advisers likely to end the quickly the result a painful surprise. But Germany, alone, of all the nations engaged, more clearly fore saw the probable long duration of it, and accord ingy made preparation for long struggle

The British public is cha grned to learn that the German navy is still nearly intact and able Lombard the English Belgium broken nation.

law, placing all employees of the state under civil service This will raise the standard of all clerical work in the state, make for greater efficiency in all lines business, eliminate the citizen auto matically and relieve you politicians of the worry and necessity of turning down the job-hunte and incidentally losing votes."
 An efficient civil service system would not only insure a better grade of clerks and employees but it would also have the effect of preventing the ton of needless positions. With the appointing power removed from those who make ap- pointments, they would have incentive for the multiplication of useless positions which they could not offer as rewards for political service.

 The inquiry will cover the quality of food. cloth and other articles supplied to the army and navy; prices and profit; labor conditions in factories, especially in factories where sub-con- tracing is done.
 The labor party is greatly concerned just now with the evils attending sub contracting. It is alleged that some war contracts are handed down from b-contractor to ub-contractor until the actual makers are five or six times removed from the original receiver of the order. By this method, it is charged, four or five middlemen's s profits are paid by the nation; the worker is cheated and the nation robbed by inferior material.
