National and Private Honor.

There is little satisfaction be gained from arguing with pacifist of the more extreme type. An impossible gulf separates him from the rest of his fellow citizens. His thought different There is no common ground where he and normal citizens can get together This is brought to mind by a circular which received yesterday from the Anti Preparedness Committee" of Washington D. C, enclosing hiarously the following challenge" from a pacifst Joseph F. Gould. "ethnologst' of Ebowood North Dakota. to the secretary of the Navy League:
 Dear Sir: am glad discover that there is a body of men who with in the old fashioned but chvalrous belief that should kill any time in defense of his honor. know that your ganiZaton chorishes such belief because of it's tinual nsstence the doctrine that nation should always he ready to kill in defense of it's national honor. and holding this belief you shrink from the inevitable conclusion that the private duel becomes at times duty.
 It happens that regard the objects of your league as detrimental to interests of your country and your. hidden and terhaps unconscious motives of self interest greater betrayal of American ideals than the treason of Renedct Arnold. Obviously words will net reconcile such fundamental difference cf opinion. and reluctantly admire readiness die in defense your militant creed I desire to show that those whose beliefs diamctrically opposed to yours equally willing die for ideal
 Therefore, hereby throw down the gage of mortal combat your group, and if you sincere in your worship of honor you will appoint some member to mc. We evade the difficulties which the laws this over-civized country have thrown in the way of duellinG, by going in a ship beyond the tkree-mile limit jumping overheard and swim ing until one or the other drowns If the members of the Navy League have not enough honor and self respect accept this challenge and risk the waterv grave they advocate for others. they must ex- pect the general public take their of national duelling seriously.
 The committee thinks that the challenge" is unanswerable argument against preparedness and in MT Could master of Pacifists of the extreme type fail to distinguish between per sonal honor and national honor An infringement upon personal honor may may not seriously affect the person offended If the injury is serious his recourse at law: the offense is punishable. An infringement of national honor is always and neces- sarily serious A whole nation is affected. t may be that national flag has been desecrated Ii the dissertation is permitted to go unnoticed the protective power of the flag American citizens is weakened have observed in Mexico. If our national honor is attacked the sea- as has been during the present war by both beligerents, our supneness invites repeated attacks which threaten the lives and of citizens It is useless talk of these things pacifsts of the through and through kind.

was at the bottom of it because of the men whose places had been raided had opposed him at the primary. We understand the other hand. that the mayor and his friends believe that the demo- cratic sheriffs office made the raid to discred the city administration. We can inform both sides that politics had nothing whatever to do with it. that the raid was the continuation of campaign begun by the sheriffs office some months ago
 Complaint made long as six months ago that gambling being less openly ducted in Phoenix; in fact, for several years long before the commission government was formed it was known that the anti gambling ordinance and the statute being violated here But months ago these violations reported to have become more fragrant. Appeals first made to the city. At first compainants told authorities had been unable to find that the law was being violated Later they informed that under the ordinances violations could not be successfully prosecuted by the city.
 It then that the appeals made to County Attorney Candy and Sheriff Adams The county at torney and the sheriff busy at that time as they had been since the prohibition law became effective, in hunting down and prosecuting bootleg gers here and elsewhere in the county. And may say that they received the slightest assist ance from the city in this work.
 The county authorities agreed to take up the  gambling problem, and several weeks ago they had brought it into such shape that preparations had been completed for raid At that time gambling becoming little more notorious than it had been. that on the of the projected raid the city stirred to unfortunate and impotent action and orders given to close the suspected places This done in the face of the admitted fact. or the proclaimed fact, that the city powerIess to prevent punish gambling. The only effect of the warning to diSarrange the cOunty's plans, and the sheriff and county attorney compelled to wait until the violaors of the law treasured and should resume operations This is the story of the countys nti-gamhling campaign. the first face indications of which appeared Monday after nOon

INDIANS HERDS ID

Tax Commission informs Northern As. sessor That Attorney General Says
 Flccks Must Be Taxed

IHe state tax commission yesterday forwarded a letter to the county as sessor of Apache county. inclosing an opinion of Attorney General Wiley F.. Jones, wherein he stated that all goats and sheep belonging to Indians. and grazing off the reservations. on lands belonging to Apache county, could be taxed
 Ii has been much asked question for some time. The county assessor of Navajo county about a year ago. brought the matter to the notice of the tax commission. At that time large herds of sheep and goats belonging to Navajos Were far from the reservation and feeding on county lands The proposition was put up to Jones. who filed an opinion that they could be taxed. The county attorney of Navajo county was of the opinion that it would cost too much to enforce the law, and let the animals get by without adding any tax to the county's coffers
 The assessor of Apache county has raised the question ane\J, an, s> is eX- pected that with the receipt ul Cones opinion. the county attorney of that county will go about getting the money.
 It is not because the Navajos are poor, that the tax has not been levied. According to those well informed on the subject, they are about the wealth. jest tribe in Arizona. Several of them have large deposits in banks in the north, and with the increased price of wool, they have all acquired d consd- erable advance in the value of their worldly goods.
 The tax commission also informed the assessor of the northern county that they were back of him ill all eff forts to collect the money, and that anything they could do to help along the cause would be gladly gone about.

What is probably tLc top price paid lately for Salt River valley dairy stock is involved in a deal whereby the Enoch White herd of forty-one head of fine Holstein dairy animals Wac transferred yesterday to Paul Rebcil and R. Romero, proprietors of a reWly formed dairy company at Tucson. Tine total sale price was 5000 cleared through the Valley Flank The average price for the forty dairy cows was therefore $170 a head.
 Rebeil and Romero returned a sholt time ago from the Imperial val ley, where they were seeking milch COWS, with which to stock the new Tucson dairy. They found nothing in the California valley that pleased them as much as some of the local herds
 The deal was arranged by A J. Moore of the Arizona Livestock Com | mission company of this city "Johnny' Moore says that according to his recollection. $170 per head is i the highest price ever paid for this l class of dairy stock The White herds

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
"The Pavinu Matter"

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir: Having read the editorial with the above heading in yesterdays Repub- lican, we feel that a few words in behalf of the taxpayers are not out of place
 The need of street improvement in the city of Phoenix is evident. and turning loose a great deal of money at time when money is needed k desirable: and if by the simple op- eration of some kind of machinery the money could be ground out and turned loose by the taxpayer the condition thus obtained would be ideal; but unfortunately, the City's need of having money turned loose" is the taxpayers need, too; and with taxes up and rents down, and rent not always certain, the amount the taxpayer can turn loose" on the city for paving has limit.
 We favor street improvement as fast as it can be done consistently. but while the work is going on. we recommend the taxpayer to the mercy of the city.

MT. Woods Opportunity

Few other officials connected with the city eovornment have had such freedom of action as that which will belong to Frank Woods, who was elected n tho c n9mission at the primary last Saturday. MT. Woods was put under obligations to no party, no clique and no organization, but to the whole people His election was an expression of popular confidence in him.
 While Mir Woods had the support of some elements which have no pride in city government he owes his election to voters who only for good, eco- nomcal government
 We hope tlat he will make gooC, that he will lend his efforts to the establishment of economical and efficient government and that he will set his face against those who would the city into a po- liticai machine.
 NIr Woods has opportunity that no other com missioner has had in such measure, to prove the ,alue of non partisan government for his election was non-partisan and non-factional. As we have said he nothing except to a majority of his fellow citizens and we believe that he will discharge that obligation conscentiousy.
 The Republican speaks the more freely of this matter for the reason that it did not support MT Woods in the campaign. It did not oppose him, but it chose to support two men who it knew were not allied with improper interests. It did not we have said believe that MT Woods allied with them but that their support was being given him, II transpires that he did not need their support His election was independent of it, and believe that he will pe independent Of all who advise him to dc things tha. are for the best interests of the city.
