START NOW TO PAVE THE WAY

There is a strong hope expressed by the people in the down town dis trict that there will be no delay in the paving preliminaries and that the work will get an early strat in the spring. There were no objections last year by property owners-it was only another case of too much law. The hope generally expressed now is that the present city council, with their past experience, will prepare all de- tails and have the plans laid to com mence the work at the earliest pos sible time in the spring. Time flies and the preliminary work should be commenced now so that there can be no slip later to delay paving another year. The new lighting system is be- ing put in and all under ground work is practically completed awaiting the advent of paving. The present city council has started the ball rolling and should be given an opportunity to see the completion of the work they have started,

We would appreciate it very much if subscribers would advise us of the change in their address when they make changes, providing they want The Sun to follow them. Many sub scribers maybe do not realize that newspapers can not be forwarded as letters are and that it costs one cent each to forward newspaper mail. When it is left to the postmaster to advise us of the change of address it rather impresses the editor with the idea that it is the easiest way out of au over due subscription or that they do not want it any longer.
 Our idea is to send it only to those who want it and appreciate it enough to pay for it, even though mix ups may occur now and then on our mail list. In other words we want those who want The Sun to have it, but don't believe in sending it out other wise.

Colonel Rogers, editor of the Pres colt Courier is a sure "sincereist." " There is no issue of the Courier that does not quote the democratic party, the bible and w. J. Bryan. A "sin- cere-ist" seems to cover the case though Webster couldn't fuss around and give it a difnation. First, the colonel starts in on "sin"-democracy then "cere" the second charge-the bible, yellow leafed and old, the book of hope, and "ist ?"-Bryan.
 Still, while you can't help sorter, loving him, he will stand put just dead against you. It really convinces one that he believes what he says in spite of how you may not like it. A few more like him, just saying what they believe-in all parties, might help Arizona a whole lot Since writ ing this we have purchased 1860 model bow and arrow and set the date for February 30th any year he picks out.

DIG Up-wE NEED THE MONEY

The democratic congress have two very important questions confronting them, which reports say will occupy their attention during the coming ses- sion. They are National defense" and providing money to run the gov ernment." Under existing conditions one can not help but feel that we, the people have been failure somewhere along the line. We are war taxed a penny here, penny there for "war revenue" not so much that the penny hurts, but because it is business nuisance; the little dinky inconve- nience here and there that aggrivate the average business man. Then the income tax-the law requires practice ally that each business man should pay bookkeeper from $600 to $1 ,O00 per year to ascertain to correct cer- tainty whether or not he owes the government S10, tax or a part of the amount, otherwise he is entitled to a few years in jail because, inspectors, etc, etc, need a job to ascertain whether or not he is keeping books to suit the government. The average business man would be willing to pay twice the amount that could possibly be assessed against him as income tax, rather than attempt to decipher and assimilate bale of rules and re- gulations prescribed by some expert government appointee who must see that you are not guilty of cheating the government, though his costs and expenses may equal ten times the amount that the low down, unworthy citizen of the United States might or might not be liable for under the law. The Mexican late and present govern ment has a plan that has seemed to work out better than ours. They merely go around and take what they want and there is no further fuss and feathers about it.
 While there is not one in hundred that would care whoop about the amount assessed, they are concerned about how to get at an honest result without paying $500 or $500 to find out whether they owe the government $6 or s8 dollars and keep out of jail at the same time. If the law would permit person to cut his wrist and bleed all over an affidavit, in which he was willing to turn over his spinal column, also figure columns and be degenerated from generation to gene tion, that he hadn't accumulated an increase above the amount stated, he might get off with paying only what was due without having to have a coroner's inquest composed of book keepers sitting on the remains of what he might have been possessed of if the democratic party hadn't come into power and run short of funds.

ARIZONA's LAWS

William Faltin who killed Carl Pe- terson, because he owed Peterson, was not hanged Friday. Warden Sims, who, merely according to some law or other passed by some legislature or another, was supposed to hang people in case he felt that it was personal necessity, called in couple friendly physicians and had Faltin declared in sane. Wiley Jones, who is drawing pay for acting something like what is termed Attorney General, and an out fit called the Supreme Judges intimat- ed that Faltin should be hanged. MT. Sims does not believe that hanging a person is conducive to good health and in reality many perfectly healthy men have been ruined entirely by this rude and reckless conduct.
 MT. Faltin, whose main falt-in be- ing convicted was his carelesness in their proving that he "demised" Pe- terson. That Faltin was prudent, honest, conscientious man is shown exclusively by the fact that he dug Peterson's grave a day or so before Peterson knew that he was going to use it. That Faltin was further kind hearted and felt that killing friend was ceremony that called for more than mere passing attention, he piled garbage over his personally conducted funeral instead of flowers, knowing that he needed protection more than mere ostentation. In this great state we find the splendid exemplification of the motto: "Elect us to office; if we like the laws we will use some of them, otherwise not"
 However we hope that folks will be careful, for if some kindly disposed person should carelessly murder your mother and few sisters, and in a moment of recklessness or excitement you should slap him on the wrist--or something just like that, you might get sent out to help pick roses for a

We repeat that the results are a repudiation of President Wilson. He has not lost his power but he has stepped upon the slide. His failures and reverses of position and his ex- hibition as a silly lover almost before the flowers had wilted on the grave of the loyal wife who had labored with him while he twas in the mak- ing" are not approved by the Ameri- can public. The opportunity before the republicans to utilize the power they have gained for the promotion of good government is great. It utilized to the best advantage it will make victory in 1916 sure.

The Marriage Yoke

The dull boy in the class unexpect- edly distinguished himself in a recent history examination. The question ran, "How and when was slavery in- troduced into America?" To this he replied:
 "No women had come over to the early Virginia colony. The planters wanted wives to help with the work. In 1919 the London company sent over shipload of girls. The planters gladly married them, and slavery was introduced into America"

Colonel Sage of the U. s. army do- ing duty down the sage brush along the border, convinced the drunken looters of Villas that his outfit were fairly good at target practice. After having been shot at by Mexican snip CTS over the line, he casually advised his men to "pick his man and shoot" Somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty or forty Mexican Villaistas were given final valise checks on that great road where no bridges are blown up. Evidently Colonel Sage does not believe the stars and stripes should be used for handkerchief.

President Wilson has received a vast number of telegrams asking him to work for peace. A novice at the game of politics might think his con- stituants were "soul soaked" with an- xiety because of such deluge of paid telegrams.

that Phillips would manage the New
