WAR, THINKS PRICE,
 WILL BE HERE S00M''
Senior Officer of Company Promised Fill of Fight # He Tries to
 Leave for the Front

If my husband wants war, he need not go to Mexico" declared Mrs. Charles R. Price yesterday. He is fret ting his heart out for chance to be called into action over the Mexican dispute. Every time there is a splurge in the newspapers about complications between the United States and Mexico, Charles starts in to count the notches he will have engraved on his gun when he gets back from the war. I don't want him to go to battle If he really wanted war he would start something at home and l should have to start war myself"
 Mrs. Price is about half as big as her daring husband.
 Price stood by and tried to grin grace fully while his wife was telling things on him. He still insists that Company A ought to begin and continue prepar- atfops for immediate action He is watching the war department for news of action, so that he can get his be- loved guard into it's fighting clothes and headed for the scene of disorder
 At present Price is the only repre- sentative of the police arm of the United States service in Phoenix With Marshal Joe Dillon. Assistant Marshals Willett and Hudson in Tucson at the present term of United States court, the upper floor of the federal building has deserted look. It is inferred that the lonesomeness of Price has some- thing to do with his eager desire to draw his sword in defens of his coun- try's flag.

authority, and such supplies when issued will be put to the purpose for which they are intended.
 The fire department is just now a very live issue with me. I want to see adequate equipment for our i'm mediate needs. but I would like to see some of the money now available reserved until such time as we know
 what we are going to do about a new city hall building and a new central fire station. I don't want to do too much right now in the matter of the extension of the fire-alarm system until it is definitely determined just
 what the city really requires I do want to make of the fire department all that the present needs require, and 1 want to see fire insurance rates ! lowered. This lowering of rates can be hastened, not only through the purchase of adequate fire fighting ap-
 paratus, but through closer supervis- l ion of the construction of buildings and the installation of electric light ing systems.
 There are the public parks, and l there is the town ditch. I have some very decided ideas about these mat i ters. Just now they can hardly be worked out, but the day is not far distant when these problems will be solved and, I hope, to the satisfaction of all concerned.
 i T believe I am securing competent men for the positions I am filling. Ii 1 they are not they will have to get | out.
 1 T think it will not be long before
 the garbage question will be solved. It is probable that we will have good incinerator in working order before very long. I think, too. there will be
 an oportunity to develop some power | from the combustible garbage and 1 perhaps some revenue from the tin
 cans and other non- -combustible gar bage. These are matters of the future, but they will come.
 Tt will take more than a month l for me to get into harness. l believe I am securing the hearty co-opera- | tion of every employe of the city to
 the end that Phoenix will one day be
 the best conducted business institu- ton in the southwest. l know 1 have
 the undivided support of the eemmis- sion. I am making no promises eX- cept to give to this city the best that is within me, and l know that with the continuation of the support am
 now receiving. my ambition will be
 attained

BUG DROWNING
 BEING STUDIED
State Entomologist A. w. Morrill, Watching Demise of Green June Grubs to Enable Farmers to Irri- gate Pests to Death

Just how long in hours, minutes and seconds it will take green June bugs to drown is the problem which State Entomologisl Morrill, is studying these balmy spring days The pack yard laboratory tests are very inconvenien. to the hundreds of green June bug grubs-Dr. Morrill's subjects-but the results are said to be of great benefit to irrigation farmers, in ridding their fields of the pests.
 The procedure is simple The operator takes a large consignment of Srubs-fat worm-like animals of a reputedly low order of intelligence as to everything but how to gnaw the roots of some valuable plant: he plants the subjects in dozen lots un- derground in a huge box of earth; then he turns on the water and lets the ground irrigate a while Some of the little cans of dirt and bugs (miXed) he removes at the end of twelve hours, others at eighteen, others at twenty -four and so on, until he is pretty well convinced he has covered the period during which the vitality of the pest will withstand the effects of the water.
 So far, he has determined that in twelve hours about three out of five grubs will survive, and at twenty-four hours they are all passed on to the bug paradise. Now, to determine eX- actly how long it takes to bathc the darn things" into a state of total coma from which they will never re- cover!
 Inspection About Over
 Inspection on incoming nursery stock is about complete. Reports coming in from the men in charge of the ''once-overs' lead Dr. Morrill, to believe that there is about 75 per cent. more stock being shipped this year than last This is, of course, a rough estimate, but fairly accurate as such go. The percentage of diseased stock being held up now-a days is diminishing this year in ratio to its decrease of the past several seasons during which the chronological bureau has been boss of the imports

THE PEOPLES FORUM |

To the Taxpayers of District No.
Referring to the monthly cash balances
OF School District No. a. shown in an ar
ticle appearing in the Tribune of last
week. These are the correct balances as
shown by the county treasurer's records,
but they are misleading inasmuch as they
do not represent the true financial con-
dition of the district. While they show
every dollar received by the county treas
urer up to the time of making the reports
they do not take into consideration all of
the expenditures. There is an average of
approximately $4,000 each month in
warrants, which, having been issued the
last of the month for the current months
expenses, have not reached the treasurer
when his reports are made up. This
amount should be deducted from each
balance to show the true condition.
However, it does not profit US any to
consider the matter from an average
monthly balance basis. What we are
interested in is the collection, some time
during the year, of enough money to pay
the expenses of the distric: until the taxes
for the next year come in. This year
there were no taxes collected until the
latter half Of March. consequently the
balance on hand March first is all you
could properly call surplus. The treas
urer shows balance March first of
Sfl.744.48 but from this must be de-
Quoted the $4,000 for warrants issued
the last of February which had not yet
reached him when report was made up.
This leaves in round figures balance
of $1,000.
We should receive during the year end
ing March first. 1915. on an assessed
valuation of S6.2oo.ooo from a 6 mill
levy, $50 200 if hundred per cent tax
collection is made. but you will agree that
80 per cent will be as much as we can
hope for. which cuts our receipts from
that source down to S55 .48o. We should
receive from the state from general fund
as much as we did last year, which was
$1,000. This would make the total re-
ceipts S4o.4so. The district has no other
source OF revenue except an Insignificant
sum from pupils outside the district for
tuition.
The expenses for the year ending June
5oth. 1918. were 50 4l.zoo-ths does not
include amount used for redemption Of
bonds or for interest on bonds-so we
find it will take over $1,000 of the
Sz.zoo balance from last year to carry
the district through the current year. if
| the expenses are no heavier
But whether a new building is erected
or an attempt make to care for the in
creasing number of children by renting
rooms outside. the expenses of the cur
rent year must inevitably be greater than
in the past. 1t would seem that the bal
anee March first is what will keep the
district on cash basis through the pres
ent year. and should not be diverted to
any other purpose.
