PERKINS FINDING OUT

The international crisis is very properly made a reason by Chairman Wilcox for postponing the meeting of the Republican National Commit tee which George w. Perkins has de- manded. The meeting, if it ever takes place, will be held, Mir. Wilcox says, in May or June. Meantime, MT. Per kins is finding out some things which he evidently did not know before, or which he had forgotten. He is find ing out that the Progressive party, what there is left of it, is not taking orders from him any more than the Republican party is. He is finding out that to threaten a revived third party movement is one thing and that to produce it is quite another. He is finding out that people are getting on to him, that they now realize what he is up to, that they have no intention of breaking up any party in order to give him prominence. All this knowl- edge will be salutary; and between now and May or June or whether the National committee meets, it will be made more emphatic.

BROKEN PLEDGES EXPOSED

Pointing out in detail the extrava- gance of the democratic administra- tion, as compared with economical expenditures under republican control, Representative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, delivered an address during the recent revenue debate which every voter should secure and read. Among other things, he said: "You have squandered $16S, 100000 to no purpose in the Mexican-border fiasco, $25, ,O0O,- 900 in the Vera Cruz incident, $35,- 100000 in Alaska, $11 100000 in an armor-plate plant, $2O,O00,0O0 in a nitrate plant, $50,0O0,0O0 in a ship purchase scheme, $50,000,O00 in a scheme of flood control, which means nothing but the reclamation of privately owned lands. You spent last year $4O,OO0,00O on the river and harbor bill, much of which went into dry creeks, where you were compelled to dig artesian wells to furnish the water. You have increased the num- Der of men in the pay roll at an an- nual cost of $50,O00, ,000."

ONE REASON FOR
 HIGH POST RATES

Senator William s. Kenyon of Iowa, through an amendment to the Agri- cultural Appropriation bill, has sue ceeded in suppressing glaring evil that has assumed great proportions during the past four years of Demo- cratic rule. In the Agricultural de- partment there are some 500 people employed at salary of from $1 to s25 per year, They receive additional compensation from private parties, which gives them a comfortable in- come. Senator Kenyon has discovered that the real reason for their becom- ing employees of the government is to enable them to send literature which they may prepare free through the mails at great expense to the United States. "It is an insidious in- fuence in our government that ought to be stopped" the Senator declares and insists that an employee of the government should owe his allegiance to the government and not be con- trolled by an outside party, as is sure to be the case if his salary is received from private individuals.

OuR NEW STATE FLAG

The state legislature has adopted a new flag for the State of Arizona. While we have not seen a cut of it, it has been described as something of a brain storm with a mangled cactus back ground. How much better 1t would have been had the design been that of a democratic burro, with one front foot on the top of the Frisco peaks, the left hind foot in the Salt River Valley; his right front foot pressed against his tummy with his tail switching flies from the front door of the capitol building; his ears pointed east and west all on pink back ground. This with picture of the insane asylum in mauve, with the stripes representing the different roads to the state treasury. But, its too late now, let it go with the rest including the bee veterinary.

CONGRESSIONAL MEDICATION

Vehement protest against pract- ice, which has grown to alarming proportions during the present demo- cratic administration, of delegating the powers of Congress to Cabinet officers and chiefs of bureaus is reg istered by Representative c. N. Me Arthur of Oregon. While not having in mind any particular government official MT. McArthur insists that "the whole machinery of the Federal gov ernment is becoming top-heavy with bureaucracy" It is to be supposed that members of congress are suffi- ciently we'll informed on public mat ters to discharge their duties intelli- gently, and it was not contemplated by the constitution that officials of the executive departments should be clothed with legislative powers. Con gress," declares Mir. McArthur, "has come to be joke in the minds of many people, because we are emascu- lating ourselves and placing too much power in the hands of bureaucrats."

HOUSE NOW PARTLY CLEANED

The Phoenix Messenger under the caption of Better Clean House" in inmates strongly that there has been graft in the expenditure of money by the two Normal schools and the state university and especially deplores the necessity for more dormitories, believ- ing that the students should board out over town. It sights an instance where an institution paid $500 for a water tank and private party bought one for $50; when mentioned to the timer he remarked that he had to give his private check back for s450. Then a land deal where the land worth $6,s00 was sold by an institu- tion for S10.
 We might suggest to the Messenger that these instances with many more similar constituted the peoples req sons for having "cleaned house" and electing Governor Campbell. The house will be much cleaner when Campbell can make appointments without their being held up by the democratic state senate.

THIS FITS MANY PLACES

Riverside Press: The business mems association is going to discuss the "trade at home" proposition tonight and the "Press" ventures the sugges- tion that they take little time to consider the obligations of the mer- chant himself in this matter.
 To be quite frank, the Press" does not see how a local merchant who buys his vegetables in Fl Monte, his bread in Los Angeles, his wife's new coat in San Bernardino and his bill heads in San Francisco can make a great "holler" in favor of patronizing home industries. Consistency is a jewel that has somewhat tarnished appearance when it is presented in this setting.
 Some merchants are very strong for the idea that Riverside people ought to buy the things they have to sell; and then they take some of this good money which Riverside folks paid them and rush off to Los Angeles and spend it in the stores there for things they might just as we'll have bought in Riverside.
 The "mourners bench" is good place for those people; and the busi- ness mems association might, with propriety, conduct service in which opportunity would be given for con fession and repentance.

The fewer "pussyfsts" there are in the United States at the present time, the better off the nation will be. They as class are those who will neither fight for their God or their country; traitors to the nation, a mealy- mouthed, blatant set who worship the dollars they make in America, but are too chicken hearted to defend it. And the worst of it is the people of fore ign countries believe they voice the sentiment of the whole country.

The democratic house of represent. atives invited the five republican members to step outside the other afternoon so that the democrats could air their dirty linen in privacy over the appropriation bill which carried appropriations amounting to between six and seven million dollars. This proves exclusively that the republic ans were to blame for it all, as there were but thirty democrats present to protect themselves from the five vi- cious republicans.

The idea of putting the question of whether or not we have war up to 9 vote of the people, reminds one of the boy who was taught to count one hun dred before he let his angry passions rise. He was walloped about every time another boy came along feeling peevish. Suppose if the vote turned out in favor of war, we would have to have the war whether there was any occasion for 1t or not.

 ON OUR NEW STATE SONG

Section 1. That the following words and music, composed by Bertha Bauer Strinker, be and the same are hereby adopted as the official anthem and song of the State of Arizona: "They sing songs about Kentucky,
 California by the sea, They sing songs about Virginia,
 And the battles fought by Lee, But the song that sounds the sweetest
 In all this world to me, Is, I love you Arizona,
 And your quaint old history.

General Funston is gone, but his memory will remain. He has shown the American people what MAN could do. There are more Funstons, Grants and Deweys in America today who will come to the front in time of need. The Bryans and other "pus- syfists" make the most noise, but thank heaven their number is few.

CHORUS
owe you Arizona

love you ArlZ0na
 Your name sounds sweet to me, You're the land of so much sunshine, And all prosperity. Where the rose blooms in November What lovely sight to see, I love you Arizona
 You're the dearest State to me. I love your fertile valleys,
 Your mountains I adore. And another State cannot compare
 With you from shore to shore. For the land that once was desert,
 Now are fields of golden grain, Where the cattle now are roaming
 On your fine big desert plains.
 CHORUS I love your big Grand Canyon,
 'Tis wonderful to see. It is the work of Nature
 That makes it dear to me. In all the distant foreign lands,
 In travels for and wide My memory still clings to thee,
 Arizona oh so grand.
 Sec. 2. Public officials of the State of Arizona are hereby required to use this anthem on all State occasions, and the trustees of the various dis tricts of the State are required to furnish such copies to their school to enable the. school children to learn and use such song as a part of the musical exercises of such school.

THIS MAN is A PATRIOT
Notified Wanted for Exami-
nation, Comes From Ken
lucky and is Rejected.

A sample of what one Villas
county young man thinks of his
debt to Uncle Sam during this
time of war, was shown on Mon
day last.
Kella Ingram, a Kentuckian
who up to a few weeks ago re-
sided in the town of Phelps.
when called upon for registra
ton did not hesitate, but en-
rolled early on registration day
at Phelps. A short time after he
moved from Phelps to Rothwell,
Kentucky.
Ingram is poor man. But,
at the call last week by the Villas
county examining board, he did
not hesitate but dug up the
money for his return fare, about
$50, and was ready for his ex-
animation Monday.
Examination by two phvsi
clans found him physically unfit
for draft.
Ingram is a patriot.

BUMPER POTATO CROP
Villas County Spud Raisers
Will Harvest an Abundant
Yield, According to Present
Indications.

The outlook for a monster
potato yield is SO encouraging
at present that growers are
making advance preparations
for the harvesting of the succu-
lent tuber.
With the average amount Of
m oisture and absence of bugs
and blight the prospects are ex-
ceedingly inviting. Investiga-
tions show the potatoes are Of
an extra quality and filling very
rapidly and no danger from an
early frost expected. Even
should one happen along the po-
tatoes are so far advanced that
no apparent harm will result.
Villas county should roll up an
enormous acreage of bully good
spuds and there is no question
but what she will be there with
bells when harvest appears.

Within a few years Villas county

Two reasons affirm this state

ate and the big farmer wants to
locate here. What more can kill
