DEFENSE PLAN
HEARING WILL
TODAY
Senate Adjourns Quickly,
Averting Vigorous Debate
On Austrian Situation.
BIZ Associated PRnas

Washington, Jan. Hearings on
the administrations national defense
program will begin tomorrow when
the house naval committee takes up
the annual naval appropriation bill.
The senate naval committee Is to
consider Senator Tillman's bill for the
erection of a government armor plate
plant.
In the senate tomorrow an effort
will be made to take up the bill Civ
ing the PHILIPPINES more self govern
ment, while the house will have be-
fore it the farm loan bank bill. The
senate adjourned today shortly after
meeting, and thus probably averted a
vigorous debate on the Austrian sit
uation and other foreign relations.
In the house the number of bills
were introduced including one for a
congressional investigation on the
price of gasoline, a bill to prevent
vessels entering or leaving American
ports when they carry both passen-
gers and munitions of war and reso-
luton asking for the names Of dis
loyal naturaiized citizens referred to
in Wilson's message, a bill to empow-
which prevents the exports Of food
stuffs from the United States.
ADJOURNED QUICKLY.
The reason assigned to the sudden
adjournment by leaders on both sides
was that several senators who had
business to present did not have il
ready. The motion on which the SEN
ate adjourned, however, was in OBJ
servance of the death Of Associat'
Justice Lamar of the supreme court
Early in the day Chairman Stone

COUNCIL |S DRAFTED
 ID RUN RACE AGAIN

The members of the present Town Council have been drafted candidates for reelection at the coming town election. None of the councilmen desired to make the race but so general has been the satisfact ction which their ad- ministration of municipal affairs has brought forth, that the citi- zens of the town would listen to nothing else. At last all five as a body, have yielded to the pres sure and have consented to let their names appear on the ballot. The people of Williams will learn of this fact with a great deal of satisfaction.
 For three months the only re- ply which it has been possible to get from citizens by asking the question "N ho are you going to have for town councilmen, ?" has. been, Whats the matter with the present council? They have made the best council the town has ever had"
 The only remuneration a coun- cilman gets, as a rule, is the ob- jections of the knockers and the silent approval of the solid citi- zens' help. When a council has made the excellent record that the present council has, this sil- ent approval of the solid citizens ought to be positively expressed at the polls by an overM helming majority in favor of them, if not by unanimous vote.
 Present indications are that there will be no opposition ticket but, nevertheless, every citizen should make it a point to get out and express his vote of approval.

BIG YEAR AHEAD
 FOR BOY SCOUTS
Great Muster Meeting Next Saturday Starts an Active Year for Boys, Full of Work and Good Times.

The Boys Department of the Mems Civic League, met last Saturday and planned their work for the next six months. They decided to affiliate with the Boy Scouts of America and to devote their energies exclusively to Scout work among the Boys of the community, during the next six months. An effort will be made to raise a fund of $500 to assist in the work, and with it's aid the boys will be given a course in swimming, boating, camp cooking, woodcraft, nature study, civic improvement, busi- ness, and many other scout stud ies. The work is open to all boys without cost to themselves, and boys will have an equal chance, regardless of the financial stand ing of their parents.
 In the effort to see that each boy has an equal opportunity with every other boy, uniforms, badges, bands and banners will be supplied by the Troop Com mittee and awarded to the Scouts as marks of merit, free of cost to the boys. Those boys who prove most faithful in scout work will be the first to receive their uniforms. All parents are invit- ed to make contributions to the Troop Committee, but not direct ly to the boys.
 It's going to be ten times bet ter to be a Scout this year than it was last year, and so all boys between the ages of 12 and IS, should make it a point to be present at the great muster meet ing to be held on the school house steps, next Saturday morn ing at 10 o'clock. Each boy should come equipped with a Scout walking staff, and with enough grub" to appease his own hunger after a hike of sev- eral miles.

WATER CO. MAKES
 IMPORTANT CHANGES

The Williams Water 6 Elec- tric Company is now making two important changes in the man. agement of their business. In the first pla e they are fixing a definite time for the payment of service bills, and in the second place, they are arranging to make the charge for water ex- actly proportionate to the amount of water used.
 The News has just printed for the water and electric company, a circular letter to it's patrons in- forming them that beginning with June. bills for service, both for water and electricity, will be due and payable on or before the 10th of each month. That is to say May bills will be payable not later than June 10. This has become the custom almost uni versally with public service com panies, both private and muni ci- pal. It enables a company to meet it's own bills promptly and puts it in a position to give bet ter service at minimum cost.
 As MT. Morley, general mana ger of the Williams company. stated, the local company has to pay for it's fuel in advance and for the labor to operate it's plant, twice a month, so that the comp any cannot afford to carry ac- counts as has sometimes been the case.
 In order to make the charge for water proportionate to the service rendered, water meters are to be used. The company has at it's office sample of the meter which they are about to install. This is one of the best and most accurate in use any where for private residences. It was chosen from among a large number of samples and costs fifty per cent more than tothers that are used in a great many towns and cities.
 Under the old flat rates it ire quently happened that patrons with small families or with little ground to water, paid as much as other water users who con- sumed more water. The use of an accurate meter insures inn partial service to all. No one can object to the use of meters unless the meters are inaccurate or the price is excessive. The work done by the. type of meter the local company has adopted, meets the approval of the corp oration commission, and Mr. Morley states that tte rates will be made the same as those in Flagstaff.
 Both of these changes are in accord with good business and fair dealing. The News is in formed that the present owners are planning other improve ments.

pCHARLES S. PATTERSON
 FOR TOWN MARSHAL
To my many friends who have solicited me to be- come a candidate for Town Marshal.
Ladies and Gentlmen:

Ladies and Gentlmen:
 I am gratified beyond measure at your assurances of confidence and support in urging me to become a candidate for Town Marshal. You and scores of you have insisted that it is a duty I owe the com munity to make this race: and after full consideration of the conditions confronting us, 1 am now ready to give you my final answer, and at the same time, state my reason for the same.
 l have studied the situation very carefully in order to deter min just what my obligations are to the community in which 1 live, own property, educate my child, and in which I expect to continue to live. Frankly, I can find no good reason why I should not be- come candidate but, upon the other hand, I find many, many good reasons why I should be your next Town Marshal.
 If I as citizen and taxpayer were satisfied and utterly indiffer- ent to conditions that now exist in our little town, 1 would hesitate to enter th1s contest. For 1 am not seeking this office, nor do I respond to your appeals, merely from a selfish standpoint of personal gain. I know what you want: l know what kind of a man you want, for you have told me; and for that reason 1 now consent to become your candidate for Marshal.
 You want man for Marshal whom you deem honorable and upright and for whom every citizen has or should have respect and confidence.
 You want a man for Marshal who will not, with the prestige ol his office, brow-beat unfortunate women into dealing with firms which otherwise they probably would not patronize.
 You want a man for Marsha who does not act for the agent O the owner of the only immoral re- sort in our town.
 You want a man for Marsha who will not use the prestige of the office given him by the people. tc collect exorbitant rent from un. fortunate women of the underworld and send 1t to tin-horn gamble in a distant state who has a mum Der of indictments pending against him in that state. for violating it, laws.
 In concluding I wish to say tha in my opinon it is time for us tC have a moral as we'll as a physica cleaning up of the town. Tn snow blow and mule team are al right, provided they are not util ized to pave the way to the mos disgraceful den of iniquity tha ever cursed civilized community as the cinder path to the HILL WILL testify. It makes pretty eas walking for the Boot-leggers.
 There are four things that you by your votes, can accomplish a the election on May P. which wi have greater tendency to sto Boot-legging, clean up the town and make it safer and better t live in than anything else that ca be done
 Those four things are as follow; Vote to remove forever all immors places of resort; Vote 10 remove tn four electric street lights for whicl the town pays twenty dollars pc month to light the path to tines immoral resorts, and place thes four lights in the business or res dence portion of the town, wher they rightfully belong; Vote stop your street commissioner frol using the town team to build cir
