 The formation of state fire preven- tion organization is progressive move "a step forward It is therefore wor- thy of the support of every resident of the state, say those interested
 Phoenix observed it's first fire pre- vention day last month. Many of the eastern states have been observing fire prevention day for many years and the results have been astounding. In one eastern state, the fire loss in one year was reduced by over 50 per cent
 The aid of every civic and state or ganiZation will be solicited to bring about the most satisfactory results Local agents will be placed throughout the state, according to present plans. The question of membership will be taken up with cities throughout the state.
 Plans for the formation of the asso- ciation have been under way for the past several weeks. It is conceived of the idea of reducing fire losses, which will ultimately result in lower insur- ance rates being established.
 The Phoenix association is already associated with the National Fire Pro- lection association and the aid of that organization has been solicited in the perfection of state association.
 The following communication was recently received by A. H. Matthew. of the Arizona Fire Insurance company and secretary of the Phoenix club: T have read with interest your let ter of October 18th, held for my return to the office. and heartily commend your plan to associate the men in your state who are interested in fire pre- ventlon. l regret to note from a ref erenee to our year book that your company. through Vice President Dav- is. is our one, lone Arizona member | The state fire prevention associations | have not been especially successful where not composed almost wholly o1 special agents of fire insurance com

An Arizona fire prevention organi- zation, the purpose of which will be to reduce to a minimum fire hazards throughout the state will be perfected at meeting of the Phoenix fire pre- vention association some time next week. The exact date for this gather ing will be determined by R. A. Whit lock, chairman of the local organiza- - tion. upon his return to Phoenix the latter part of this week.
 Phoenix has taken the initiative in this matter as it has done in the form ation of many other lucrative associa- tions that have intended for state wide betterment.
 Plans for the Arizona fire prevention organization are gigantic in their scope and will of course necessitate the workings of hundreds of members be- fore any material benefits are notice able.

 Touched Upon Exports.
 In his East Liverpool speech MT. President Wilson's Cincinnati address. He declared that the $2,000, 900 in crease in Amerlcan exports represented almost exclusively the demand of Europe for American goods, created by the war The nominee cited a re- cent statement attributed to Chairman Hurley of the federal trade commits sion to uphold the contention that America is not prepared to meet the competition of European nations after the war.
 Let me tell you this" he told the crowd at Steubenville, ''the iron and steel manufacturing establishments of Europe have scarcely been touched by the war. On the contrary the war it. self has caused great increase in the efficiency and productivity of those establishments. Further than that the manufacture have not been touched by the war.
 Europe Has Got Raw Materials.
 Ihere they are; they have gO1 their raw materials; they have got their manufacturing plants; they have got their men, and they are ready te produce. When the war ends there is going to be the most efficient pro- duction in this trade, not only here but throughout the world, and not only will American labor lose the oppor- tunities that it now has, created by the war. bur it will have to compete with the lower paid labor of Europe.
 America is Not Prepared.
 'It is no time for men to go through the country saying America is ready It is not ready. America has got its Underwood bill and it has not in the ranks of our opponents any disposition 10 change it. They have got theil doctrine to which they have adhered for generations. They say: We vii give you a tariff commission. I be. lfeve in a tariff commission. We wan the facts, but they talk about the tariff commission as though it were a legis- 1ative body, as though it had some au thority to pass tariff bills. They know very well that they will sit in congress receiving the reports of the tariff com mission and giving such attention tc them as they may desire.

 l Sites Considered Favorable. Of the many sites so far consid- cred by the committee. which consists | of MT. Edison. Frank J. Sprague J. l H. Baekeland, pr. w R. Whitney,
 Lawrence Addicks, and MT. Robins,
 those which they are said to consider
 among the best adapted to their pur- | poses are at Philadelphia, Annapolis, | Washington and Sandy Hook. The Sandy Hook location was called | to the committees attention by MT. Edison following one of his automo- | bile tours, on which he discovered a | tract of available land adjacent to the | gun proving ground there. The com mittee made a visit to the spot re- gently accompanied by Captain George | E. Burd, Geutenant-C Commander Paul B. Dungan and Lieutenant Albert Nor ris, all of the New York Navy Yard, and made through examination of the land. While there they witnessed the testing of a coast defense gun and saw the results of firing a new armor- railroad car. The bullet, 1t was re- gently announced, was able to go through three-quarters of an Inch of steel at fifty yards:
 Points Taken Into Consideration
 In judging of the suitability of the various sites for the laboratory, the following are the main points taken into consideration: location; the own er-whether government or private property; cost of the land; the char acter of the land; water frontage in feet; depth of water; amount Of dredging necessary; whether naviga- tion is impeded by ice; climate; char acter of neighborhood; secrecy in op- eration; transportation facilities by land or water; accessib bility from Washington; accessibility for civilian scientists; character of labor mar ket: character of material market and availability of other government ma cbinery.
 List of Locations.
 The list of locations under consid- eration by the committee is: Ports mouth, N. H., Quincy. Mass, Nara Y, Norwalk Islands, Conn.,, the Bronx. N Y, College Point, L. l.. Astoria, L. l..

WHY TAFT IS ON
 THE STUMP FOR HUGHES
Because Hughes Deserves Support as a Man Who Will Fight for Principle.

New York; Oct .30.-4Former Presi- dent William H. Taft, answering an inquiry from Spokane (Washn.D why he is on the stump for Hughes. tele- graphed as follows:
 MT. Wilson bases his claims to re- election on the prosperous condition of the country and on the spacious plea He kept us out of war The country is prosperous in spots be- cause of the European war-for which MT. Wilson is not responsTble-which has given to our industries the pro- lection of which his Underwood tariff bill deprived them and which has stimulated in unheard of measure the exportation of American products en- tering into the prosecution of the war operations of Europe. What our fate would have been under the Under wood tariff is shown by the devasta- tion that accompanied the ten months of actual erSorcement, the destruction of American industries, the pitiful condition of the unemployed and the establishment of bread lines and free soup houses. The fictitious prosper ity due to increased exports will col lapse with the rapidity of a cable dis patch at the close of the war When that crisis confronts this country, the republican party and man of cour- age and conviction, Charles B. Hughes, must be on guard to meet and conquer it.
 MT. Wilson did not keep us out or war. We kept out of the European war because we wanted none of it's horrors and because none of the bel ligerents insisted on dragging us in, and he brought us into war with Mex ico because his policy there from the beginning was one of offfcious inter meddling- which is responsible for the distressing situation now existing and which if not superseded by the sane ness and deep sense of justice that distinguish Charles E. Hughes will in evitably drag us forward to even greater humiliation.
 "Mr, Wilson deserves condemnation for his course of vacillation attributa- ble in nearly every exlgency to a de- sire for votes rather than to a regard for the interests of all the people.
 MT. Hughes deserves support as man whose career shows that he translate conviction into action and that he is a man who will fight for principle. He is thoroughly equipped to safeguard American interests in this, the most critical period in Ameri- can history since the days of the Civil war"

New York, Oct 3o-More than fifty sites in many parts of the country 1 for what is expected to become the greatest scientific institution in the committee of the naval consulting ] board it was stated here today by Thomas Robins, secretary of the board. in telling of the extended search it is conducting for place to build It's | experimental and research laboratory for the development of advanced science in its application to national defense. The committee, of which Thomas A. Edison is chairman. has been conducting it's investigation for will continue the work for some time to come until the most suitable spot has been found.
 MT. Edison has made a number of automobile scouting trips along the coast in the hunt for the site and has suggested several places for ex- animation by the committee. An in dication of the character of the work that is occupying the boards attention is shown in MT. Robins statement of the requirements the site for the la boratory must meet.
 100 Acres to Test ProiectiIes.
 "The laboratory will need about 100 acres," he said, fin order to provide space for testing projectiles. aero en-
 
 to taking care of the large and small buildings for many kinds of work. There will be shops in which almost any kind of manufacturing can be done, from fuse to a submarine.
 Salt water of good depth must be available in order that ships may come right up to the shops and in or der to facilitate submerged work, sub- marine signalling. and the detection of submarines at a distance. For experi- ments in this line the passage of peaceful vessels will serve every pur- pose and therefore the committee looks with favor upon sucn sites as front upon we'll travelled waterways.
 ''In order to place our navy safely in the lead the laboratory will devel- op not only new devices but new ma terials and even new scientific prin- ciples.
 $1,0oo, 900 Appropriation.
 The last naval bill appropriated $1,- 000, 900 for the laboratory and it is ex- pected that half million more for it bill provided that the money should be used for research in gun erosion. torpedo motive power, the SyroscOpe, submarine guns, protection against submarine, torpedo and mine attack, and improvements in submarines, ae- roplanes. radiography and other ap- piled sciences used in naval opera tions. The construction of the plant for such research, it's equipment and assistants are to be paid for out of the appropriation, but it is expected that the present million dollars all ready set aside and the half million hoped for next year will be devoted to the site and plant, while money for
