POINDEXTER OPPOSES
 DESTRUCTIVE POLICIES

Senator Miles Poindexter of the state of Washington deprecated the idea advanced by some senators that war industries should be condemned. Those activities, he claims, should be regarded as essential to the conduct of the war, and not looked upon as an abuse. "They ought ought to have the encouragement of the govern ment," says Mir. Poindexter, "in ev- cry legitimate way, and to the great est possible extent consistent with the necessities of a just taxation The senator is surprised that some of his colleagues, who he knows are pa- triotic men, should advocate the talk ing by taxation of every dollar of so- called war profits. Senator Poindex- ter's record in the Senate frees him from any suspicion of being connect ed with the great manufacturing in- terests, and compels consideration of his opinions.

POTENCY OF PROTECTION.

A prominent commercial periodical, non-political in character, comments upon the fact that the war has caus- ed large development of those indus tries which have had the benefit of war protection. That is to say, in- dustries whose European competition has been cut off by the war have de- veloped very rapidly. This fact gives rise to two thoughts. First, since these industries developed as a result of war protection, they arc very likely to be seriously injured, if not entirely destroyed, when the war is over. The other thought is that if we can build up industries under war protection, We can also build up the same industries under a tariff pro- tection if we make the tariff high enough to cover at least the differ ence of cost of production here and abroad. While we are rejoicing over the development of number of new industries as a result of the war, we should consult prudence to such an ex- tent as to guard against reverses when the war is over.

PERSONAL SERVICE
 INCOMES EXEMPT

An amendment to the revenue bill was adopted at the suggestion of Sen ator John w. Weeks of Massachusetts which clarifies, broadens one of the exemptions under the war profits tax. AS reported to the Senate professions, the profits of which depend on the personal qualification of the individu- als carrying on the profession, were exempted from the operation of the tax. Senator Weeks had the word occupation" added, which will serve to exempt certain business activities not strictly classified as professions, but possessing similar characteristics. The amendment met with no opposi- ton whatever, and quite likely the language adopted will remain part of the law. .... .......

GERMAN PEOPLE
 LARGELY RESPONSIBLE

The wish was probably father to the thought when President Wilson said that the power which has com- mitted such unspeabable crimes in this war is not the German people but the ruthless master of the Ger man people. The fact is that the peo- pie of Germany have been a unit be- hind the Kaiser-even the Socialists, who fought for years against mon archy, have stood Loyalty behind the throne since the war began More over, much of the terrorism of the German invasion of Belgium and France has been due to the conduct of the individual German soldier and not to his master. Destruction of pri- vate property, pillaging, murderins non-combatants, outraging helpless women, are all acts chiefly of indi- vidual viciousness, and the responsi- bility cannot and will not be shirked by the German people. The begin ming of the war was the act of the Kaiser. The manner in which it has been conducted is largely the choice of the men in the ranks, who were bu, recently drawn from the civilian pop. ulation.

NOT PRACTICING
 WHAT THEY PREACH

Cooperation of the War and Navy Departments with Congress in keep ing military information from the en- emy is quite as desirable as secrecy on the part of the House and Senate, in the opinion of Representative Phil lp c. Campbell of Kansas. "If we are to suppress testimony here," says he, land the War Department gives out all the information they have, of what benefit has our secrecy been?' MT. Campbell referred particularly to certain articles that have appeared in the Official Bulletin as coming direct ly from the Council of National De- fense, and containing quite volumi- nous information regarding our avia- tion service.

BIG RAIN IN APACHE

A terrific rain storm visited this section Tuesday afternoon, causing the Little Colorado to climb out of its banks and flood the low lands about St. Johns. The storm was of short duration but amounted to a delugc while it lasted. Don Sol Earth says the river never before overflowed in such manner as the result of a rain storm. The dam at Woodruff was again swept away completely, which is the greatest damage we have heard of. The storm extended only a few miles south from St. Johns and the workings at the Lyman dam were not disturbed. However, there has been a vast amount of rain between here and the mountains the past week and all streams are greatly swollen.--St. Johns Observer.

PLENTY OF GASOLINE
 FOR ORDINARY PURPOSES

"After a careful consideration of the present gasoline situation" Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines, of the department of the in- terior, has issued the following state ment:
 "One-half of the gasoline used in the United States, (1,250,0OO,0OO gal lons) is used in pleasure riding.
 "It is estimated that the United States army will need 350,00O,0 900 gal Ions for aeroplanes, trucks, automo- bile tractors and other machines There is no way of obtaining this in this country except by saving from pleasure riding. For instance, the man who takes his family out On Sunday for a fifty mile ride can cut this in half.
 "It has been estimated that by eco. nomical use enough gasoline can bt saved to supply not only the United States, but also its allies, for war pur, poses.
 "The following suggestions should be observed by automobile owners:
 Do not allow your gasoline en, zine to run idle.
 "2-Use kerosene, not gasoline, fol cleaning purposes in the garage.
 "3-See to it that the carburetol does not leak. Form the habit O shutting off the gasoline at the tank
 "4-By judicious regulation of thu mixture of gasoline and air in the mo tor, both greater power and econom! of fuel may be obtained.
 Automobile owners need not la. up cars, but should use them eithe for trade or pleasure purposes thoughtfully and judiciously. If thi advice is followed there will be n undue scarcity, for the United State possesses an abundant supply for or dinary purposes"

CHEvRONS SURE FOR
 FIRST FIVE PER CENT

The entire contingent of five per cent now at Camp Funston, Fort Ri- ley, which numbers 2,250 men, is be- ing made corporals, sergeants and lieutenants as fast as the instructors can do so, according to word received from that camp where the Arizona boys have been sent.
 That this is the intention is evident, it is said, from the manner in which the recruits are being rounded into trained men with the least loss of time. Men from the regular army have been placed in every squad of recruits on either side of the new men, and in this manner they explain each order and aid in executing it. With this sort of drilling it is ex- pected that the new men will be well up in tactics in a short time and be prepared to do some drill coaching themselves when the next contingent arrives at the camp.
 This explains the delay, it is said in assigning the new men to compa- nies and regiments. By drilling ir squads and platoons with the aid O! the regular army men the five pel cent will not be rockies" in a few weeks, but will be ready to wear the chevrons of a corporal or sergeant and take command of squad wher the forty per cent arrives.

 Of the commissioned officers 50 per cent will be sawmill and logging operators, 25 per cent will be tech nical foresters, and 25 per cent will be men with military training. The minimum age limit for commission ed officers is 31.
 Skilled lumberjacks, portable mill operators, tie cutters, logging team sters, camp cooks, millwrights, and charcoal burners are among the class es of men desired.

Bottled Provisions.

Capt John Stevenson met a recent arrival from the "auld countree" and speedily got into a chat with him over conditions there. The new arrival told feelingly of the terrible toll of war upon the fair land of Scotia, the sad tales of young men killed and maimed, the sufferings of the fami- lies left behind. His was a right sad tale in every way.
 "Why, mon, we've jist plum dis tractit wi it," he concluded.
 "And suppose the war has caus- ed the price of provisions to go up in Scotland as well as everywhere else,'' commented Capt. Stevenson, with sympathy.
 "Aye, mon, we're richt," agreed the visitor. Provisions has gone up in price saxpence the bottle. e."-The Ar gonaut.

A FIRST CLASS
 FIGHTING MAN

General Pershing has not only abil- ity but willingness. His recent short but expressive statement of what is necessary, covers the whole situation: "The war can be won by striking hard and forceful blows, not otherwise. When Pershing was in Mexico he wasn't given chance to strike any kind of blow but he will probably have chance now, and he will make good.
