CIVIL SERVICE MEN SUBSCRIBE
 TO MANY BONDS

Phoenix civil service employees are not going to shirk in the matter of as sisting the government to raise the largest war budget in the history of <the world. This has been evidenced during the past few days by the num- Der of employees who have subscribed for Liberty Loan bonds.
 A few days ago, Assistant Postmas- ter Stewart determined to call a meet irg of all postoffice employees for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm in the matter of the Liberty Loan bond issue. But when clerks and carriers of the department were fully informed of the purpose of the issue, they readily sub scribed for the bonds. In fact, the re- sponse was so immediate and general that it was decided to cancel the scheduled meeting.
 According to Assistant Postmaster Stewart yesterday, several thousands of dollars have already been sub scribed by government employees here, the exact amount not being available at this time. All Liberty Loan bonds purchased by government employees here will be taken through local bank .ng institutions, it was announced yesterday.

Tom Forman, the clever Lasky ju- venile who is appearinr as leading man for Mae Murray in her latest production "On Record" which is the Paramount attraction at the Lamara today for the last time had his am bitions fulfilled when as the young inventor he is supposed to make an aeroplane flioht.
 Mir. Forman vanished from the stu dio before the picture was started and induced the members of the civil ian squad at the Military Aviation school in San Diego to let him make a trial flight with them. He was not permitted to handle the machine him

Arizona will have a food dictator.

Arizona will have food dictator.
 According to a telegram received by Governor Campbell from Herbert Hoo yer, food dictator of the United States, the Arizona executive is advised that, pending national legislation on food subjects made necessary by the eXi- gencies of the present war, it will be the policy of the department of the gov ernment having that matter in charge to decentraliZe the national movement for food control into state auXiliaries.
 MT. Hoover calls upon Governor Campbell to name volunteers in this state to assist in this most important work. The Arizona Council of De- fense has undertaken to comply with MT. Hoover's request and is anxious to hear from persons of prominence and ability in each town and city in the state who will take charge of this work in this community and serve without pay.
 From among the names of men of most ability in the state will be recom mended man to have charge of this work of food conservation in the state who will be appointed to the position by the president.

LOVERS SPAT

 GOOD ACCOUNT
Young Woman Kept Her Eye on Road and So Saw
 Bad Accident Because not
 Speaking to Car Driver

That a lovers quarrel may turn out to advantage was demonstrated in a suit in Justice De SouZa's court yes terday It was an action by Charles Wright against Burton for $170 to cover damages sustained in collision between the plaintiffs and defend ants automobiles on the night of April 3 on the road between Tempe and Mesa. The lenders on the left side of Wright's car, the wheels and half the radiator were torn away. One wheel of Burton's car was also jerked off.
 ,, illnesses on the part of the plaint- If testified that his car driven by young man by the name of Sutton was on the right hand side of the road and that when Sutton saw Burt on's car crossing the middle line of the road toward him he crowded the edge of the road to keep out of the way.
 The attorney for Burton sought to impair all testimony of this sort by dragging from the witnesses admia- sions that they might not have been noticing the positions of the two cars closely. that they were so engrOSsed in the company of one another and were devoting so much of their at tention to social converse that they ulu not Ttdlly see W Hat was hDOul lo happen until it had happened.
 One witness admitted that he was dividing his attention between the road and the young lady beside him in the rear seat of the car. But the next witness, Miss Lulu Myers, had given her undivided attention to the car and the road and she was sitting in the front seat with MT. Sutton. She described in minute detail the ap- proach of the Burton car and she said she screamed when she saw that the collision was inevitable
 But, asked the attorney for Burton on cross examination, was she not talking to MT. Sutton? She was not. Did she not tell him that she thought there would be Q collision? She did not Her silence at this critical mo- ment stirred the curiosity of the at torney who asked, You have been talking to him before that?" T posi- lively had not" was the reply; we were not much on speaking terms that night Thus it was established that Miss Never had nothing to do but watch the road and that she was giving her loyal attention to that job.
 At the close of the day the case was only half finished and it went over until next Friday.

we as a people outgrown themf Has
prosperity made US callous and sodden
Are we too sophisticated now for such
outbursts as for long marked our po-
litical activitiesf
For man who has just achieved such
triumph at the polls, Gov. Capper is
strangely pessimistic. And why should
Kansas, born of turbulence, and the
scene later of SO much strenuousness and
enthusiasm, lead in an effort to make
quiet and order the rule of the coun-
try's political beings Could Kansas her
self stand the changea It is to be
doubted Take the whir and fizz out of
affairs, and Kansas, along with her sis
ter states, would protest.
Of course, self government has not
failed. On the contrary, it is very much
alive, and going right along. Those who
affect despair are few, hypercritical, and
uninfuential. The great body Of the
people are sound, patriotic and progress
sive, and the government is theirs. They
sometimes make mistakes; but as the
machinery of correction is at hand, and
usually in good order, they are never
for long embarrassed.

ment of Justice, notwithstanding its
temporary accommodation in a privately
constructed building; one for the De-
partment of Commerce, which is in the
same condition; one in truth for the
Navy Department, which is only par
tally housed in the great building at
18th street, in which the War Depart
ment could be barely accommodated if
given sole possession. Every one of
those buildings should be now under
way, if not actually constructed. The
government work is suffering because of
the postponement of these projects.
They were asked for long ago, when
prices were not as high as they are to-
day. When the prices of building ma
terials fall, as perhaps they will fall
in the course of the next few years,
there is no assurance whatever that the
will be made for them.
In this matter the government is like
the Arkansas farmer of familiar tradi-
tion who would not single his house
when it was dry because it did not need
it and who could not shingle it when
it was raining because it was wet. In
some respects Uncle Sam is decidedly
poor business man.

The New Revenue Measure.

At the close of the House caucus last
night, eleven democrats refused to be
bound by the decree Eight were from
the south, and three from the north
They did not indicate just the sort of
revenue measure they preferred. But
the one presented by Leader Kitehin,
and carrying the approval of the Presi-
dent and Secretary MeAdoo, did not
please them.
What form this protest will take when
the Kitchin measure is presented to the
House is net known. Should it take an
active form, and cooperate with the re-
publican protest which will be regis
tered then, very interesting situation
would be created.
Mr. Kitchin's position is peculiar, and
must be embarrassing to him. He OPP
posed the whole preparedness program.
But after its adoption and the govern
ment became committed to the eXpendi-
ture he felt obliged to help find the
money. He confesses this very frankly.
Presumably, the bill he presented to
to the full House next week represents
his way out of difficulty. A large
amount of money is necessary, and it
might be raised in a number of direc-
tions. But he selected two. both spar
ing the small. and bearing upon the
large, taxpayers. The new taxes will be.
as is at present the income tax. assessed
against and paid by comparatively
small number of persons. 1t is both
class and sectional legislation.
In urging the bill Mr.. Kitchin sug-
gested an extra session of the new Con
gress. Do this. and do it now, or an
extra session viii be necessary.
Would not that be the best solution
of the problem! Here is matter of
the highest importance, caught in a
whip it through as though it were a
bridge bill. or something of that petty
kind. No debate worthy the name is to
be allowed in the House; and, if pos
sible, the Senate is to be speeded up.
The President is in personal charge over
there, and all that can be will be done
to carry out his orders.
At an extra session the subject could
receive the proper consideration. In
deed, the whole revenue problem, which
is chaotic, could be discussed and means
taken to bring some sort of order out
of the chaos. Why go on with make
shifts and stopgaps'when something very
much better should be and could be pro-
videdi

A Strange Note From Kansas.

Gov. Capper, who was reelected in
November by hundred thousand plu-
rality, says in his message to the Kan
sas legislature:
ave have relied too much upon the
bird of freedom, the Star Spangled Ban
ner, political windjamming and cam
paign buncombe, and not enough upon
plain business sense. Self-government
has not failed But we have not had
self government"
Why cut out the freworks7 Why ex-
tract the "pep" from campaigning
Why reduce matters to the eolorlessness
and dead level of businesss
But, even if desirable, could this be
done7 If windjamming should be cast
into the discard, what would become of
the windjammers' They are numer-
Gus, are born that way, and would be
unable to learn any new tricks. They
like their employment, and must live
Some are excellent and useful citizens
according to their lights.
Campaign buncombe is an established
industry, and there is wide demand for
it. All parties and all sections invest
The people seem to cry for it, and il
has been known to carry elections. How
would it be possible to construct party
platforms without that articlef

Jackson and Wilson.

Said the Jacksonville, Fla Times
! Union:
| Henry Watterson was among the few
to remember old Hickory on the sth-
the rest of us appreciate the appear,
ance of greater than jackson, who can
win victories by keeping us out of wars"
To this Mr.. Watterson replied:
| .As between Andrew Jackson and
Woodrow Wilson the Courier-J Journal
has prejudice in favor of Andrew
Jackson. This is not to say that it has
a prejudice against Woodrow Wilson.
No man can be fully judged until he is
dead. Woodrow has to do lots vet be-
| fore we catalogue him with Andrew"
Lots? How much more; and what?
Many democrats hereabout have a preju-
dice in favor of Woodrow Wilson, as
the record now stands. They have no
prejudice against Andrew Jackson. They
concede that he was good man in his
day and way. But they claim that
far greater democrat and party leader
fore him. They have not so much turned
their back on jackson, who is dead as
their faces to Wilson, who is very much
alive.
The Star, speaking year or so
ago, and INDUCING in the liberty of
| comparison which so many take, said
| that, measured against Mr. Wilson in the
sphere of politics, Mr.. Cleveland looked
| like "a befogged and helpless amateur"
The remark was taken up, and eompari-
sons from many sources followed
jackson was soon reached, and soon
disposed of. The difference between the
backwoodsman, unread and unframed.
and the finished urbanite, learned in his
tory and literature and student of gov
eminent, was drawn, greatly to the adj
vantage of the latter.
Jefferson was drafted, but did not last
long. He was characterized as too
diffuse, too speculative. He did not
manage men as we'll as Mr.. Wilson was
now doing. No Congress obeyed him as
willingly as the Sixty-third Congress
was obeying Mr.. Wilson.
Washington was spared, because he is
never used for purposes of comparison;
and besides is not rated as a democrat,
or, strictly speaking, as party leader.
After the returns were all in and ex-
amined, it appeared that Mr.. Wilson,
in the opinion of MANY democrats held
the record for results. He was first, and
had chance to make the distance be-
tween himself and the others greater.
And since then he has been reelected.
and has just delivered his speech for
world peace.
BY the way, that Florida newspaper
which gives Wilson the preference over
jackson is published at Jacksonville.

Key Bridge and Public Buildings.

One result of the delay in authorizing
the bridge across the Potomac to replace
the old Aqueduct is an encounter with
the increased cost of materials which
Is affecting all lines of public work.
The Secretary of War has just asked
Congress for $4,000 additional appro-
priation to permit the execution of the
bridge plans. Probably if the requisi-
ton for the bridge, which was repeated
for years, had been honored by legisla-
ton in season the structure could have
been erected for less than the amount
initially appropriated in the present in
stance. The government is paying for
its delays under mistaken sense of
economy through postponement
This bridge must not be delayed longer
than the time required in its construc-
ton. 1t is urgently needed. 1t is to re-
place bridge which is properly under
suspicion as dangerously insecure, and
which becomes with every season a
greater menace to the public safety.
The Key bridge must be pushed to the
earliest possible completion, cost what
1t may, as measure of precaution
against disaster.

The Umpire's Vacation.


The base ball umpire looked abroad
upon the snowy scene.
His muscles were relaxed in rest, His
visage was serene.
He heard the disputation that is raging
far and near.
And made this observation in a voice
so loud and clear:
Worry. people, worry
You've made me do my share.
Worry, people, worry.
With dissension in the air.
In the grandstand. in the bleachers,
Hooting like ferocious creatures,
Oft you put me in furry,
And you didn't seem to care.
ut is now my joyous season Of content
ment and repose!
Nobody blames me, howsoe'er a close
decision goes.
No one viii toss a bottle or an ugly
word at me,
Or step down and try to throttle speech
with which you don't agree.
Worry, people, worry!
It's time you took your turn.
Worry, people, worry!
Now to sympathiZe you'll learn.
Midst the mighty agitation
That sweeps DER you as nation,
How my brain must fret and scurry
You may finally discern"
