STATEMENT BY MIR. RICHEY

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir
 It seems that in my interviews I
 nave not made my position quite
 clear respecting the amending of our
 city charter
 This is evident from inquiries
 made of me from time to time re-
 gardinG my stand in this matter take it that the citizens of Phoenix are entitled to know how any candidate stands upon any mat ter affecting them, especially so in the event any such matter is of the vital importance it's laws are To those who are not aware of my position in respect to the amendments of our charter I beg to state that I have carefully studied the charter and the proposed amend ments, with the especial object in view of ascertaining the effect of such amendments. in case they are adopted. and l am firmly convinced that their adoption will materially strengthen the charter. greatly facili- tate the disposition of the business of the city. and afford opportunity for a more economical administration of it's affairs.
 l As an interested citizen and tax payer of Phoenix. and disregarding
 my candidacy for city commissioner, I conscientiously recommend the pro- posed amendments for adoption. | I will, therefore. appreciate it if you will have the kindness to insert l this communication in the Arizona ] Republican. that any erroneous inn pression that may exist as to my position in the above mentioned mat 1 ter may be corrected.
 Very truly yours, Q T RTCHEY

A Foolish Question

Somebody do not know who is asking the attorney general what believe to be hypotheti- cal question, and know some persons with tongues Ioling between parched lips who believe that the question is an idle based possible reason- able hypothesis The question is, Can the state tax stocks of liquor? And if the state under the prohibition law sell the liquor for taxes? The qucs- ton is interesting but not promising of profit. in the opinion of those of the loing tongues and parched lips devoured of a consuming thirst. Where they ask are those stock of liquors, concerning whose liability taxation this foolish inquiry is made for other purpose than to take' up the time of commission and the attorney gen. eral?
 As pertinent would it be to inquire whether Kohinoor diamond million dollars worth of bank stock in possession of inmate of the county hospital s liable taxation. As well, we might ask should burglars outfits be made to bear their share of the burden of taxation. We might also

HAwAr,N PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY

Hawaii produced thousand times much canned pineapple in 1914 it did in 1501 in round numbers. 2000 900 eases in 1914, compared with 1000 in 1901.
 This most remarkable development in the face of active competition from the older canning centeIs of the Far East has been described in detail in report just issued by the Bureau of Foreign ard Domestic Commerce entitled. Canned Pineapple h. dustrv of the World" The up-to-date machinery and the cleanliness that characterizes the Ha waiian factories contrasted with the hand labor and the general untdiness that is the rule in most of the other pineapple centers, and the conditions in general that govern the industry in all the pro- ducng countries of the world are described in the

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS LACK GRASP

It IS sometimes said in WaShingtOn with friend- ly and humorous cxaggeratiOn that there only two people who know what the shipping bill means. President Wilson and the son-n-iaw member of his cabinet, Secretary McAdoo of the treasury; and 1 is frequently added that there is uncertainty about the completeness of President Wilson's knowledge. However this may be, it is clear that the debates in the senate have shown either that the democrats don't know much about it. that they don't care much about it. is exaggera-
 ton to say that the Republican opposition has been acute and rnasterly. No less than six republican senators have better grasp than the democrats the practical activities of government such the suggested shipping bill They Senators Weeks of Massachusetts Cummns of Iowa, Borah of Idaho Lodge of Massachusetts, Burton of Ohio and Root of New York

THE METAL VANADIUM AND ITS USES

Nanitdum IS a silver white metal which readily oXidizes. It has atomic weight of 51.2, is non magnetic has very high electrical resstivity and melts at about 16S0- degrees c. As alloy iron however its melting>poinr is about 300 degrees lower It is one of the most widely disseminated elements although commercially available deposits are comparatively It has been found in sev- era' of the western states of the United States. in Sweden Australia. Spain. England. Argentina Chile and in Peru. It is upon the last named country however that the worlds commercial sup ply depends The asphaltite deposits from which the Peruvian vanadum is obtained located at faul Matucan, Casalapaca, Huari, Huancayo and last and largest, at Minas Ragra. The ore from the RaSra mines, which looks like hard slaty coal contains about 40 per vanadum suphidc 5o per cent free sulphur IA per cent slica. per cent iron sulphide, etc. and after burning out the free sulphur the ore contains about 52 Der cent vanadum oxide
 Until the development Of vanadium in the steel industry it's commercial largely confined to ink making and coloring fabrics and leather. The ink is made of mixture of a tral solution of amonium Vanadate water solution of gallic acid Neither acids nor alkalies can destroy it, nor can it be bleached out with chloride. About 1905 the supply of vanadum. ing to the development of the Minas Ragra and other mines in Peru, began to increase From hay
 ing been a metal it became available in quan- titles claimed to be unlimited at steel making metal. The claims of it's that it has e. complished wonders in crucibes and in open hearth steel; that it gives cast iron greater strength anC endurance, and that copper and aluminium markedly improved for certain purposes by it's ad- dton. It is used in steel for engine axles and frames, in transmission shafts and gears. in wire springs piston rods, hydraulic cylinders, tires tools boiler plates gun shields. proectes, armor plates gun barrels, watch springs and in castings and forgngs generally One of the great advantages of the of vanadium steel in the future will no doubt be in enabling the steel factors to reduce weight in such construction locomotives, cars, machinery etc. it's greater durability being another important feature.-Pan- American Union Bulletin

MORRIS PLAN COMPANY
Is TO HELP DESTITUTES

Although having been operating for
only four months. the Morris Plan Co.
of South Bend has made $50 loans
amounting to $3S,500.
The bank management states that it
has been a source Of aid and relief
to people in the city left destitute
through the unfortunate employment
conditions existing through the win
ter. An example is given of one man
who was left destitute; he lost his pO-
sition with a factory. He applied at
the company's office to borrow enough
money TO buy q horse with which he
might haul ashes Apparently honest,
one of the officials took the matter
up with the bank committee The ap-
plicatiOn was approved, the man
bought his horse and has worked every
day since.
His weekly payments have been
made, and in view Of the fact that
the bank had nothing but his per-
sonal security, the episode shows to
some extent the manner in which the
Morris Plan CO. is an aid to destitutes

NEW NOTE TO Be
SENT To ENGLAND
Two Sharp Issues of Fact Be-
tween Two Governments De-
Ve!op-U. S. No Party to
Agreement.

| WASHINGTON, May 22.-Two sharp
issues Of fact between the United
States and British foreign Office devel-
oped Friday at state department.
These issues have become the basis of
belief that the United States will now
have TO expedite its new note to Great
Britain and make stronger representa-
tions than heretofore against her vio-
lations against the rights Of American
and neutral shipping.
The cabinet discussed Friday the
explanatory memorandum" of Great
Britain. published Friday. on her de-
tention of American ships and cotton
cargoes.
In this memorandum Great Britain
contends that the United States was
party officially to the pending agree
ment as to the disposition of cotton
cargoes now held up in British ports.
After the cabinet meeting Sec'y of
State Bryan issued a statement declar-
! ing that the arrangements as TO cot
/ ton were made between the foreign
! trade advisers of the state department,
u
bassy, and that this government does
not regard those agreements as lin
any way binding the United States
government by any arrangement
reached"
Sec'y Bryan declared that any ar
| rangements as to cotton were purely
informal and that it was so under
stood by all concerned at the time
they were made.
Mr. Bryan in his statements, also
/ indicates that the foreign trade ad-
visers of this government could not
discuss with the British embassy the
general questions of the rights of
neutral shipping.
Another issue raised by the British
memorandum is that she contends
that the American ship Joseph w.
Fordney captured by Great Britain
and taken into Kirkwall on April 8
had with the evident desire to evade
| search, endeavored to escape rapidly
into Norwegian territorial waters"
This statement is absolutely and
fatty denied by the captain of the Jo-
seph w FOrdney which is now on
record at the state department.
Sec'y Bryan after discussing the is
sues with Great Britain as to the cot
ton detentiOns, said that the govern
ment had under consideration the
sending of a note to Great Britain.
He added that it had been under con-
sideration before the tragedy Of the

-pREpAREpNEss FOR WAR;

Most of those people who talking about 'pre- paredness for war" are probably talking more than they are thinking The first year of the great war has demonstrated that there was really only one Nation in Europe that was prepared for war" Great Britain and France were woefuy unprepared for modern war. For instance before they had been fighting 50 days they had exhausted their ammunition and there has not been time since then when they could make it rapidly enough to furnish it to their armies in the field as fast as the commanders would like to shoot away I is claimed that if the Germans had turned on che French and British after the Battle of the Aisne had continued for two weeks, they could have taken Paris.
 Preparedness for war as it is waged in these days would not only require that we have constantly trained and ready for mobilization at short notice million or more men, not only that we should have great experi mentation plants where all the latest discoveries of science could be tested SO that we might know about their practical application to the business of killing men in warfare not only the re-arming of soldiers and sailors every year or two but it would require the construction and maintenance of plants capable of em poyng hundreds of thousands of men in the manutac ture Of ammunition. Preparedness for war would mean terrific tax property and the capacity of the people to progress in times of peace
 It might very well be that we should be better prepared for defense that the navy should be enlarged and made more effective that there should be larger army. and more officers in both army and navy but as for preparedness for war;" God forbidl

JULY wEATHER RECORD

The weather report of C. R. Reid United States voluntary weather observer printed in The Empire to- day discloses weather conditions for July that would be considered favorable any section of the United States. With total monthly rainfall of quarter of an inch falling on four days, with 25 days of all sunshine and only two days without any sunshine an average temperature of nearly 70 degrees. the record is one that few people of the United States would as- sociate with Alaska it it were not labelled
 One of the pleasing features of the report how ever one that takes away from 1t the most distressing feature of warm summers in many sections of the country. is that he night temperature averaged but slightly more than 50 degrees thus permitting people to have comfortable and refreshing sleep.
 The record is rather unusual it is true, but the record has been made and what has been may be eS- pected again Who can ten2 Perhaps the. climate along the Northwest coast is changing for the bet. ter

 The most deeply significant fact with regard to the attempted torpedOing of the orduna. British car go and passenger ship carrying American citizens, is that she was attacked on her westward journey It was impossible that she should have carried munitions or other contraband of war; since she travelling away from the zone of conflict The case therefore, pre- sens in the most typical form just those aspects of the submarine blockade against which the United States has most vigorously and most specifically protested
 It was an attempt to strike down merchant ship "a ship which the submarines captain knew to be innocent of oense against the law of contraband be- cause it was bound for neutral coast 5000 miles from the nearest belligerent portland this without giving the passengers or crew chance for their lives The only thing which could remove the additional ten sion thus created would be a prompt dsavowal from Berlin of the action of the submarines captain.
