Villa and Carranza

In what shape Villa and Carranza will be left when our affairs with Mexico have been adjusted it is impossible say. It may be that Huerta will will be set up which the present revolutionary leaders must accede d revolution It may be that Huerta himself will be left in power to hold il if he reparaton having been made by him for the ndignty and monetary damage this country has suffered. and that things will be left very much they before the American marines arrested at Tampico
 But it has been established that of the two men, Villa and Carranza the former is the real leader the one strong man of the revolutionsts and the least unwise, if not the best among them He pos considerable military genius and the events of the last two weeks have shown that he is the superior of Carranza in statecraft There is no reason why he should play pretend play second fiddle to the provisional president any longer.
 For several months since the capture of Juarez Carranza has generally been regarded only a figurehead, with whom such harmless Americans as Dr. Tupper and w. Bayard Hale might deal with out danger of any beans being spilled But Car ranza never sought exercise any control Villa except when the latter, purposes his own sug- gested the provisional president that the time had come for him upon the stage for d brief period
 But he has made of himself sorry figurehead folly of Carranza Villa forced to correct the errors of his nominal chief. He make further use of him figurehead

A New City Hall

The movement that has been instituted for securing and modern city hall suitably located and possessing adequate facilities for the tion of municipal business, brings back to the Central school property. A commission has been appointed to gather information regarding site for the proposed building and collect other data In such informal discussions have taken place among the city officials the of a joint city and county building has been considered The ob- jecton has been raised that such building would be step toward the consolidation of the govern of the city and the county We think that this objection is wholly without force The step be taken, and it would be taken unless < majority the each the city and the county. should desire it. time may come when il would be desirable and then we would have the necessary building. But that may all be left out of the question and may consider the advantages, from the points of architecture economy and the public convenience having the governments of the city and the county under roof.
 We believe voters of county would easily be brought such a arrangement There is almost great need of larger and more com nodious house there is of city hall. Both structures only inadequate but both are disfgurations of the landscape. They contribute to the simitude Phoenix a country village

MExicO's FOREIGN TRADE
St. Louis Republic)


 Statistics gathered by American consuls snow that the Mexican foreign trade helped us surprisingly well in 1913 in spite Of the war though some of the heavy increases in products which the war would not be likely to affect. This is true of the great increase in shipments of crude oil all of which went to the Standard Oil company and it IS not unlikely that this increased output of oil accounts Tor d marked increased importation of pipes and fttnSs' The demoraliZaton of the railway business Is re flected decreased imports of rails, cars and other eauipment In Mexico's greatest industry, mlnlng' there was large decrease in shipments of copper metal but ali increase in shipments Lead shipments also fell off, but the gain in copper ore taken with the fall in pig copper exports, may re fleet desire to get valuable things out of the coui- r> with all possible expedition.

Takino in the Additions

The ordinance proposed by the commission, put ting clamoring additions and subdivisions on their good behavior and making them go off and get d feputation" before they be admitted, is some thing believe, be in municipal legislation But after all it rather in with the excellent conservative policy of Phoenix in the past in deal ing with additions.
 While other towns have eagerly engaged in annexing all the adorned and unadOrned landscape in sight for miles around. sometimes taking reluc- ant additions by the "scruff of the neck and drag ging them in. Phoenix has given way to wild desire for territorial extension It's corporate limits have always surrounded by circle of improved property and part of it has always been as highly improved as that within the limits There has been nothing to distinguish the from the suburban territory.
 While the gates of the city barred and the inhabitants respectable addition were refused admission believe only once did the city take means force addition in or ever hint that the company of any addition would he regarded as especially desirable. But the city, without extending boundaries has for the most part generously eX- tended lines and other municipal benefits to the adjacent thiclsly settled districts Phoenix never evinced abnormal ambition to make fine showing.
 The proposed new ordinance would impress upon the additions that Phoenix is something worth join ing and that an initiation fee should be paid to get in. The additions qualify for admission by giving themselves urban appearance they must bring in each, park site dowry The dinance is based upon the correct theory that city
