military service to the adjutant gen
eral OF the state by the date specified
in the order Of the adjutant general
Of the United States. is a deserter
= Mr. Breen urged that every one en-
gage in the rounding up OF these
men.
Their excuses. whether valid or
otherwise. will have no effect on the
granting of the reward The reward
will be paid whether they have pur-
posely avoided military service or
not
For some time the sheriffs and pO-
lice OF Arizona have been busy spot.
ting individuals throughout the state
whom they suspect of being slackers
have only awaited IN announcement
OF the reward and the designation OF
these men as deserters before pounc-
ing upon them.
The closing in on such men will
begin today throughout Arizona The
United States Marshal and his depu-
ties and other federal officials can
not participate in such reward. as the
work Of collecting these people will
fall upon all those in state. city and
county employees or private individ
uals who wish TO take up the work
Hitherto it had been expected that
the men would not be declared de-
serters until they were so certified by
the adjutant general of the United
States This piece OF red tape has
been cut out by the order OF Breen.

satisfaction OF all expenses incurred
in said delivery.

1T is highly desirable from every
standpoint that an effort now be
made TO round up all persons who
are delinquent in reporting for mill

1T is thought that If the fact OF a

We shall have a great force OF police

ed in bringing such delinGuents under
military control.
III after such persons are brought

their delinquency is not wilful. they
will then be forwarded to mobilization

delinquency was wilful, they will be
( prosecuted before a court martial as
deserters.
In either case the reward is pay

BY the GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA

WHEREAS. Il is necessary for the
United States TO raise. during this.
the first year of our War with Ger
many. eighteen and one half billions
of dollars. or about forty-seven of
each one hundred dollars that We
earn:
WHEREAS. Our Government must
get this astounding amount either by
taxation OF the people or by borrow
ing from them and is seeking through
the sale OF Liberty Bonds. 10 obtain
a part of this huge sum with which
10 carry ON our share Of the conflict
and provide means for our allies TO
prosecute fight which must be won.
If world democracy shall survive:
NOW THEREFORE,. ]. THOMAS
F.. CAMPBELL. Governor of Arizona.
under the authority in me vested, do
hereby urge upon all those firms,
who are financially able TO bear a
share Of this burden, to subscribe as
literally as possible 10 the second
issue of Liberty Bonds OF the United
States which is offered TO the public
beginning October first. 1917, and
would direct special attention to the
following facts in regard thereto:
We are in this War; We must win
and 10 do it, the money must be found.
The more the Government will al
low you 10 loan TO il. the less you
will he taxed; ease taxation by buy
ing Liberty Bond.
Money is wasted on unnecessaries
in our Country which. If loaned to il.
might turn the scale TO Victory and
save thousands OF precious lives
Economic and save. Extrava-
gance must stop.
When you buy Liberty Bond. you
have what is as good as money. to
borrow on or TO sell and it pays good
interest
Taxes are a dead expense; they
never come back: they pay no inter
not buy:
The civilized world is fighting. that
Right may prevail and that the world
he made safe for honest people to
live in. Our boys are giving their
lives: our allies, their lives and
money. and the least We can do is TO
support their efforts.
Do your share. Duty demands il;
common sense advises il and your
Government expects il.

CONGRESS WILL REFUSE
TO DIVIDE STATE

81 have little faith in the pos
sibility of congress permitting
the creation of a new state on the
Pacific coast, but l can see no
harm in the movement for state
division as advanced by the
present Idaho legislature, said
Judge James f. Ailshie of Occur
d'Alene in an interview in the
Wallace Press-Times.
Mature has so formed the ter
ritory composing this state that
the people of the north and south
can never deal intimately with
each other or enjoy common in
terests unless we have direct and
more rapid communication be-
tween the two sections of the
state. Even then we will for
ever be confronted with the fact
that south Idaho is interested in
all problems that confront an arid
country while we are confronted
with the problems of mining, ag-
riculture and numbering.
Diverse legislation will always
be necessary to meet the de-
mands of the two ends of the
state. The northern part Of the
state pays about 40 per cent O.
the taxes, while its area is abou
a fourth the size of the entire
state. Our resources and oui
population are each greater thar
they we're in the entire territor.
when the state was admitted.
IL am in hopes that the pres
ent state legislature will carr
out prediction promises in tn
problems of taxation, providin
on economical administration O
state affairs as taxes are reall
becoming burdensome in thi
state"
