PUBLICITY OR ESPIONAGE?-
The United States income tax must
be collected, unless we are ready to
abandon the results of a 2O-year fight
to make the rich pay their just share
of the cost of government, and I'M
less we are also anxious to continue
to pay each year the millions which
the failure of this tax imposes.
With the heavy burden of high
prices already upon the people, the
profits from which go to enrich the
very class who are successful in
eVading this tax, it will be Door
craftsmanship and insane politics for.
congress to ask for one penny in new
taxes, until it has taken every step
to insure the collection of this tax,
which is everywhere recognized as
the most just and equitable that can
be imposed.
The income tax must be paid-and
paid in full.
The action which the present con-
gTess takes with regard to the in
come tax will more definitely display
its true character than any other
issue which will come before it.
Congress may dodge the issue by
making petty amendments to the law
and adding slightly to the treasury
force of inspectors. But every con-
gresham that does so side-step will
return to his people discFedited and
distrusted.
Congress may choose to create in |
the treasury department a new secret !
service force, which will create a sys-

tenn of espionage over the entire field
of business and private life, sufficient
to detect every attempt at tax eva
sion. Such is the system in use in
Prussia. There an army of inspect
Ors and examiners collect the tax
with true German thoroUghness. Will
congress choose to transplant this
system to the United States, where
because Of our enormous territory
and greater population the force of
inspectors must be increased ten
fold? If so, it is certain that a bu-
reaucratic Frankenstein will have
been created which sooner or later
will prove a menace to our liberty and
to the very spirit of our government.
Congress may, however, choose to
follow American traditions and ap-
ply the only remedy which has ever
proved effective in a democracy
PUBLICITY. Publish the returns
that the public may know not only
who the tax thieves are but also
whether the treasury department is
doing its work honestly, efficiently
and thoroughly.
Congress will do what YOU and
the 100000 other voters demand.
Which line of action will you
choose-pubIicity or espionage?

HEARsT's MEXICAN RANCH

HEARST'S MEXICAN RANCH
Every little war note has a meaning
of its own in the Hearst papers.
Touching Mexico, Hearst writes:
"a slice will come off of Mexico
that will equal in size all that was
left of Mexico after we attached
Texas and some other territory"
To which the New York World
adds:
"a large enough slice to take in
the Hearst ranch of 1,O16,OOO acres
and add $2O,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 900
to the market value of the Hearst
property"
-O-O-
"What is needed is that we should
have on each of the main lines of our

ship that is faster than anything else

like to see a race between those ships.

Greater Naval Strength.

Washington. May 23.-Navy depart
ment officials and staff officers pre-
dict that Congress will authorize the
construction of two dreadnaughts and
four battle cruisers. They believe the
House naval affairs committee in rec
ommending five battle cruisers paved
the way for a compromise in con-
ference after the Senate votes for a
larger building program than the
House committee recommended.
Navy department experts estimate
six capital ships can be built in 80
months, and, possibly, within three
years. Whatever ships are authorized,
construction work will begin at once.
Plans are ready for both the dread
naught and battle cruiser types.
Experts say that in three years from
next September the United States
navy, including the six capital ships
expected to be authorized at this ses-
sion of Congress, will have p ships
of the per-dreadnaught class. In ad-
dition, there will be 25 ships of the
second class, making total Of 50
vessels which may be regarded as bat
tleships.
Republican members of the House
naval affairs committee agreed on a
minority report on the naval appropri-
alton bill, recommending large in
creases over the proposals adopted by
the committee. The Republican mi
nority report will recommend the i'm
mediate construction of:
Two dreadnaugnts.
Six battle cruisers.
Twenty EIGHT destroyers.
Fifty submarines.
The necessary number of auxiliary
ships.

STOCKMEN TAKING
 SALT RIVER VALLEY

That the Salt River valley is rapidly becoming one big farm is indicated by the fact that over 90 per cent of the land sold during the past year has been purchased by sheep and cattle raisers. So extensive have their hold ings become that in some quarters it is predicted that they will soon own most of the ranches in the valley.
 The large sheep and hog ranches now being established in the valley are in marked contract to the small tracts of five, ten and twenty acres devoted to intensive farming. Two or three years ago almost every settler bought small tract and went in for truck or fruit growing. Now the great bulk of the sales are to sheep men, who are securing large tracts for alfalfa ranches, where they can pasture their flocks during the winter months. In the summer the alfalfa raised is stacked for winter feeding. It is rarely sold.
 One of the largest hog ranches in the country has been started ten miles west of Phoenix by Col. P. J. Durbin, California pork-chop king, who owns several immense ranches in that state. He has imported about 1900 head to start with and now has over 2O0O. He claims that he will have from 10000 to 12,000 hogs on his $40 acres by next fall.

Another Personal Use Case

Because he could not endure the sight of hearse standing in front of his house, Edward K. Milliken, court reporter for Yuma county, brought injunction proceedings against the owner of livery stable adjoining his property. The injunction was grant ed with the stipulation that the hearse was to stand in front of Milliken's house when called there on business.
