Daar SIR
There is an alleged "Independert
Publicity Bureau" at Bismarck that is
putting advertisements into various
state papers attacking Senator Nc
Cumber. These advertisements are
false, misleading, malicious and libel
GUS, and the originators of them do
not dare sign their names to them.
5 The Independent Publicity Bureau is
an unknown organization, but we are
making an effort to ascertain who the
responsible parties are and we will
then compel them to assume the re-
sponsibility for the issuance Of these
libelous statements.
The Republican State Committee is
endeavoring to run clean, upright
campaign, based on facts and issues,
and we solicit the hearty cooperation
Of the press Of the state in these e.
forts. = -,
There is not an intelligent man In
the state who is not acquainted with
the record Of Senator McCumber and
while some may differ with him on
SOME particular question, there is not
one who has questioned or will ques-
ton the honesty and integrity Of his
motives in supporting or opposing any

'stantly coming up.

and 10 the nillions Of farmers that are
strandedin the cities, that since it had
passed the Reserve Bank Act the far

who don't want to put 4 s;long-time

help to the intelligent, hard-worlking,
honest tenant farmer or to the city
wage Garner who was raised on farm
and who wants. to get back into the
country. Remember that that means
far more farmers than are affected by
the Farm Loan Mortgage Act. The
Reserve Bank Act permits national
banks to rediscount farmers notes
with the Reserve Bank, under certain
conditions. The notes must not run
for longer than six MONTHS As a
practical farmer, tell me how many
crops can be planned for, seeded, har-
vested and marketed 50 that cash re-
turns are available to pay a note at
the bank within six months from the
time the note was given? You want
to plan your crops not later than
March. Most crops require all sum-
mer to grow. Your harvest may come
in August but your cash doesn't come
for many weeks after harvest as a
rule. IN other words, you wouldn't
have your cash in time to take up
the six manth's note, and you would
have to 60 to your banker and ask fo,
a renewal One renewal can be gran

these dogs were trained to guard hangars and warn the guards when hostile aeropane appeared in sight They also took flights with the aviators and held oil rags spanners and other tools in their mouths if the pilot had any occasion to repair his machine

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
That New Contract and The Young
 Mems Business Association

The Young Mems Business Associa- new contract which the P. G. X E. are attempting to close with the Re- clamation Service. After careful con- sideration by majority of the mem bers of this association we are forced tO come to but one conclusion, name ly, that the Reclamation Service do NOT close such contract with the P. G. & F.. for several reasons one of which is absolutely incontrovertable
 Among other things in this new contrac: stipulates that the P. C. X F. nave the right to break this new contract with the Reclamation Service during any time of the thir- teen years il is in force SHOULD A MUNICIPAL PLANT BE 'ESTAB- LISTED in Phoenix and ask for gov ernment power. That old contract
 has three years yet to run and why
 should the Reclamation service bind
 itself for len more years to a con-
 tract that virtually gives the P. c. &
 F.. q whip hand over the government
 SO that as soon as this new contract
 is consumated the P. q. X F. can say
 'R. R. Service. you dare to give juice to municipal plant and We will break our contract with you" Such a clause in Ihe' contract virtually power as if they had an exclusive contract Now then. since the old contract has three years 10 run. and i since the city is practically certain l Of putting in q municipal plant Gas was evidenced in two former munich ' pal owenship elections and also be- i cause the city placed in office com i mission that are unanimously in favor : of municipal ownership of lights an6 : gas) why, close new contract witt
 the Reclamation Service that will b' i broken again in a few months by tho i P. G. E9
 1 Again we can not see for the lift l of us the logic of the Reclamation l Service reducing their rates to thu i r. G. X F. twenty percent an, l then the P G. & F. turn around and ! according to the new contract, sel | iuice to consumers for only ten per cent reduction. The ?. G. & E. sa, i they have got to do this because the. i nave such great overhead expense. MT | Aller told rs that their overhead ex pense is so great that should the gov ! ernment give the juice to them FRET 1 of cost. that the p. c. X F.. could onl.
 give a twenty-five percent reduction t1 consumers.
 To sum 1t all up and get down t' facts just answer this question: hoy 1 long does Phoenix have to bear tn burden of that great overhead eN 1 pense of the r. c. S. F."

. As to Registration

Ordinarily would urge promptness in the per fornance of a duty which many of us are prone to neglect, that of registering for election. But circumsance has presented itself in which for siderable numbers of the of Arizona delay of registration for month is quite desirable
 It has been assumed that the progressives and re- publcans of this will be united in state cam paign. There will in all probability be union. But circumstances may fall Chicago next month that the progressives and the republicans O. where may be united in a national campaign
 We think this is very unlikely contingency but almost anything in the future, however remote may appear, is still contingency.
 Our amended registration law requires that a voter registering must declare his party affilia- ton he must he bound by that declaration There is ton and he be bound by declaration There will be plenty of time after the second month by which time every Arizona will know precisely where circumstances have placed him.

THE LION WAS TOO FRIENDLY

Far be it from detract little bit from the glory of animal actors l know that their acts are dangerous; but that does not mean all of them are. myself have appeared with a lion-a real great big, hairy brute too-and he just about q ferocious Canton flannel dog
 We once employed three brothers who had brought lion from cubnood boiled milk and blancmange. and the only danger from the great beast that he might knock you down if he heard the milkman. We used him in an alleged comedy wherein his part was jump from a balcony the lobby Of hotel and scatter the inmates all drec- uons. It was the hardest and longest scene l have ever made, for poor old Leo friendly that he absolutely refused to perform. One Of the brothers disguised hotel clerk, supposed to be treed in telephone booth, with the lion waiting just side to him up. While he held the receiver he shook like aspen leaf instead calling the po- lice he shouting
 on old top For the love of Mike somebdy slip me lump of sugar. Come here you darned old cat or m beat your bloomin head off"
 At last the king of the jungle recognized his friend and keeper and and sniffed at the door: and while the clerk acting his fearful agony he kicking sugar under the door the happy and smiling lion. The only casualty suffered was that had of the grease paint licked off my chin by what felt like a file. You see the animal stuff isn't rough if the animal has been brought up nicely.

Our Replication

The reioinder of department Ger man reply the American note demanding an aban- donment modification of German submarine meth ods will occasion surprise in any quarter. The character of it forecast morning following the receipt of the unofficial copy of the German reply IL was evident then that government intended put construction the reply however violent il might be, to avoid break of diplomatic relations.
 Washington jumped at the paragraph in the reply stating that orders had been given submarine nanders pursue the that they instructed pursue said have been in- structed pursue following the Lusitania contro- versy. But with equal agility government jumped and dsregarded the but of the succeeding par agraph of the reply which makes it clear that the orders to the submarine commanders only tenn porary and that their continuance will be contingent upon ability enforce upon Great Britain observance of American rights which both and Germany agree have been violated
 Our government equally disregards plain meaning of the to the last para graph of the ply in which Germany declares forcibly lan- guage can make a declaration, that we fail to in fluence Great Britain. Germany will order subma- rne campaign according to it's notions and, in- ferentially without regard to the views of the United States
 The reference in our reply sent on Monday to
 
 language that shall not accede the terms of the paragraph and shall be moved by the nina tory character of the other does wipe them of the German reply in any way alter the meaning of it.
 We have done something that Germany did ask to do and did not expect to do. and which who had any faith in the firmness of the American note believed would be done-we have put Germany probation; whether it will do fail do certain things concerning which it has given no unconditional promise but, the contrary has made very clear that demands will be unless do certain things which in ply Germany declare will do. This Is the flimsy which have thrown across the chasm.
 When state department assumes in its reply and when Secretary Lansing in his statement to the press that Germany has yielded anything to the American note, neither the American people the Germans nor anybody else in the wide world thereby deceived
 The putting of Germany probation" is noth- ing but characteristic procrastnation.

Thou, too sail on. 0 Ship of State! Sail on, Union, strong and great Humanity. with all it's fears, With all the hope of future years. Is hanging breathless thy fate, We know what Master laid thy keel, What workmen wrought thy ribs of steel, Who made each mast, and sail and rope, What anvls rang, what hammers beat In what a forge and what heat Were shaped the anchors of thy hope! Fear not each sudden sound and shock, Iris of the waves and not the rock; Iris but the Tapping of the sail And not rent made by the gae In spite of rock and tempets roar, In spite of false lights the shore, Sail on, fear to breast the sea, Our hearts, hopes, all with thee!

But nitrate plant ducted by the government is different matter It involves the creation of more jobs of which there far too few for deserving partisans.
 The action of the house in the rejection of the senate amendment for the increase of the army was so nearly along partisan lines that only thirty demo- crats voted to in the amendment. We what slight chance is any adequate of preparedness in the present congress- But there increases the very strong probability that the next house of representatives will not have democratic majority at all.

QUARTERLY REPORT
 0F WATER USERS

In connection with the quarterly re- port of the finances of the Water Users Association, attention is called to the fact that these funds and ex- penditures have no connection what ever with the payments made to the Reclamation Service for water ser vice, or the expenditures of the gov ernment in the operation and main tenance of the project. The two funds are as separate and distinct as are the two organizations, although there is . confusion in many minds regard ing them. A number of people seem to think that the association Is oper- ating the project and a few have the idea that the government runs the association, but the truth is that neither is the case
 The government makes d monthly statement of expenditures on the pro- ject, of which a copy is posted foI public inspection. In accordance with he Bylaws the quarterly report oi the association is mailed to each share holder every three months.
