M DONALD TO
 BE IN STATE
 LAND DEPT

When his term expires as county treasurer the first of the year, George A. Macdonald will accept position in the office of the state land depart fnent
 Mir. Macdonald has been treasurer of Maricopa for the past five years and previous to that time was a dep- uty treasurer, his entire period in the office being ten years during which time he saw an increase in the taxes of the county from $500,000 to s1,200.- 900. While there were between four and five thousand tax payers ten years ago, there are now something like H. 900 and the work has increased accord ngly. With the increase of business. however, there has been no advance in salaries, Mir Macdonald maintaining an economical administration. His pol icy has been helpful to the taxpayer and the county alike as was evidenced when he gave the Southwestern Sugar and Beet Company time to straighten out it's affairs and pay it's back taxes rather than to have brought suit and lost the company a chance to dispose of it's holdings and make good with the county.

A Passing Art

The president of Washington mothers club, after having tried to use a typewriter and finding that it easy to learn operate it. proposed that typewriting should be taught in the schools Wash ington, and a newspaper of that city spoke quite favorably of the suggestion. It far predict that perhaps handwriting would become a lost art having been superseded by the now in- dispensable machine.
 Quite naturally this proposal and prophecy aroused deal of editorial space knocking the props beneath both It calls it's aid statistics show that comparatively small proportion of the popua- ton makes personal of the typewriter; demon strates pretty clearly that those who use the machine constantly called upon take pen in hand and raises the formidable financial ques- on of who shall buy the typewriters the public instruction in its use.
 This advocate of the desirablity of good penman- ship makes fair Those of Is who use a type writer glad of the facility but would probably have greater pride if wrote beautiful and at the same time individual hand. Most people are yet able to drift along quite comfortably without ability to operate typewriter but those of us who cannot swing the pen with ease-and we are still an overwhelmingly large majority-frequently feel maadroitness keeny. After all, handwriting has superiorities typewritng comparable only to those of the horse automobile. And we dumb beasts will stick around for long time yet.

The Vigorous Application of Democracy

The Outlook" under the title of 'The Way to win' comments upon the reorganization of the Brit ish ministry, giving to the premier, MT Lloyd George, far greater power than ever wleided by British prime minister-as much power as an auto crat could wied. Says the Outlook:
 In word this political change in France and England means concentration of war leadership. This does not involve the overthrow of democracy; it means the application of the power of democracy ef- fectively. As in this country school of political thinkers urges the doctrine of "the short ballot in the belief that democracy often best accomplish it's ends by deputng its power to a small executive body, so in France and England democracy is to itself when it asks that the issue of and the still vaster issue of the future of Europe be controlled by a centralized executive power.
 It is true that democracy has not been overthrown yet in the name of democracy something has been done that has not been done since Grecian represent ative governments in times of stress sometimes rendered the power to a single individual when there ensued a tyranny; not necessarily a tyranny in it's modern opprobrious meaning, but merely e-man power, either unconstitutional or constitutional There was such Athenan tyranny under Pisstratus and his lasting for fifty years. The Theban dem ocracy became tyranny under Epaminondas. The latter ended by the death of the beneficent "tyrant" in battle against the of Thebes generally these "tyrannies' were ended and dem ocracies restored by revolutions almost as quent those which disturb our Latin American neighbors.
 The application of the power of democracy" de- scrbed by the Outlook is unusual thing in modern democracies, though somewhat approached it in the civil and various times since Executives have exceeded or have been accused of exceeding their authority in of emergency. Frequently there has been neither time opportunity appeal to congress the representative of the people much less to the people themselves Presidents have been obliged to resort to discretionary arbitrary power
 There is wide difference between such an exer- else of democracy and such exercise as was sug- gested by MT La Toilette about a year ago when he proposed that the question of going war should be left to the people
 Some may deny that the governments of France and Great Britain present democracies at aI but rather tyrannies" similar the old Greek tyr annies' when the power seized by the one or the few because it was ineffective in the hands of the many.
 But whether only application of democracy or temporary surrender of democracy, it is neces- sary and does not endanger the Great Bri- tain or France. It will end automatically with the war or with the conclusion of the of reconstruc- ton after the for in that period there will be no less need of efficiency than in war period itself

The Frank Mr. FitzueraId

One of the things that ought endear to the pub lie Representative John r. Fitzgerald of New York chairman of the house committee appropriations is that he frequently ndulge in luxury of plain speaking. smugness hypocrisy and buncombe are characteristic of much of the talk congress that Mir Fitzgerds occasional outbursts of frankness are as refreshing blast of fresh air in a badly ven- tilated room
 In the course of debate the other day after the house had voted increase salaries of the sec retaries of the members from $500 to s2OOO year. and just before it voted provide stenographers for members at salaries of s75 month, Mir Fitzgerald stripped away the pretense that these things were being done that members could perform their duties more efficiently and at the same time made hit at MT Owens corrupt practices bill. He said:
 This proposition is not something to help the clerk Do not try to fool by such assertions You may fool the people, but do not try fool has been here as long as have been This proposition is to protect ourselves-to protect ourselves This is preparedness measure. G.aughter) It is prepared ness against the wrath of the people and of will need it. We have passed bill limiting the amount that can be expended to enable man to be elected to congress, limiting it to modest sum, and now that we have arranged that our opponents can not eXpend beyond certain modest sum conduct their campaigns proposing to equip ourselves at the expense of the public that campaigns will not be neglected G4aughter)
 He also made this sharp comment the economic aspect of the generosity of the swelling the salary list of it's employees:
 The amendment we have already adopted adds $2S009 to the cost of conducting house of repre- sentatves. This amendment will add couple of hundred thousand dollars more the current fiscal year there will be deficiency of $30OOO0OO that will reduce the surplus in the treasury about s113 oO0OO0. In the next fiscal year, not contemplating some of the things congress will do on it's own mo- tion, the estimated deficit is the trng sum of s2S4- 100000. The estimates for the army and navy alone are about s25,OO0,O00 more than all the money raised Tn the year 1915 by taxation and in time like this, when not only will it be necessary to issue large number of bonds and greatly increase the public but to seek out novel and methods of taxation III order 10 obtan money to pay the ordinary running expenses or the government, we propose to increase the cost of conducting this body this body that is doing so much for the welfare of the people by half million dollars.

WH0 SUCCEEDS
 MIR. CAMPBELL
 ANYONE KNOW?

Who will be the next tax commis- sioner? That question is being asked
 dozen times a day at the state house
 seemingly because practically everyone
 Is anxious to know who his or her new
 neighbor is going to be-
 According to report at the capitol
 the governor has put it up to Chair
 man Charles R. Howe, of the tax com
 mission, and Member c. M Zander to
 get together and decide who they would
 like to have take the position which will be empty when Governor elect Campbell becomes the head of the eX- ecutlve department. It was stated a ! few days ago at repuo1can neadquar-
 ters that MT. Campbell would probably
 resign about the 2Sth
 The governor is maintaining the
 same silence in regard to the new ap-
 polntment as he does about all official business.
 Half a dozen prominent democrats
 hazarded guesses yesterday that the new appontee would be Homer Wood
 of Prescott. In fact one democrat said
 that MT. Wood had been rendered the place, and could have it if he would condescend to accept. It was said, l though, that Mr. Woods extensive in- | terests in the north would not permit
 of his giving his whole attention to the office
 Others mentioned for the place are Sam Barclay, member of the state
 land appraisers board; James A. Kirby, assessor of Greenlee county: Sam Proctor of Williams. and A B. Ming, assessor of Yuma county. Next to Homer Wood Ming seems to
 have the best opportunity to bring home the bacon. His name is men, | toned prominently in connection with jsthe place by those who are opposed to the governor. as well as by those who
 are in his parade, so it seems that in
 case Wood decides to remain on his ! barony in the north Ming will be the lucky candidate.
 And by the way, the rest of the can didates who went through fire and
 water and put terrific dents in the fam fly bankrOll in order to attain office at the late election, all feel that whoever
 succeeds Mir Campbell will be lucky indeed. Think of it." they say. All | he has to do is to write in q letter to
 the governor, spend a little money on postage writing to a few friends ask ing them to pull a few strings, and the first thing he knows he is in office But then some pessimist spoke up and intimated that perhaps the lucky ap- 1 polntee won't be so lucky after all It ! is pointed out that the governor has come down heavy on his appointees for ready cash with which to finance his contest, and no doubt the new tax commissioner will come in for his share of the draining.

Hayden says that this bill has been found objectionable, apparently because it applies only to navigable streams and has @ tendency to foster special or private interests.
