NO GREAT NAVAL DRIVE
BEFORE NEXT SPRING
American Fleet Of DestrOyers
to Be Made Greatest In
World, First

Washington, Aug. 20.-To make the
American navy foremost in its destroy
er force, Secretary Daniels today gath
cred Representatives of 25 firms and
studied emans of more than doubling
destroyer contracts. If he succeeds, the
United States win have more destroy
ers than any nation, including Great
Britain.
Daniels asked the conferees to pro-
vide greater building space and more
motive power. All promised to do every
thing to accomplish the navy's am
bition.
Orders went out today to speed work
on present contracts.
Construction of submarine ehasers
will close temporarily when the first
group is finished and attention will be
turned to the bigger task of making
scores fdestroyers.
Daniels suggested that private and
government yards already engaged in
destroyer destruction should enlarge
enlarge their output and that outside
firms should undertake new work.
Daniels report from Admiral Sims
shows that the destroyers do the most
effective work against the U-boat.
Officials regard it as likely Great
Britain will permit resembling treaties
against warship construction on the
Great Lakes, in order to permit the
United States to use some of the lake
yards for this new work.
President Wilson and his naval chiefs
have decided against a major naval Of
fensive against Germany now.
This was learned officially today
though naval authorities, fayoring such
move, said the decision does not pre-
clude possibility Of big drive later.
These authorities predict that next
spring will find the situation such that
Great Britain and America will throw
their navies into the balance for a
great smash.

Not Enough Sales to
Establish Prices

New York, Aug. 2O.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Trading was on a very small scale
and the course of prices was listlessly
variable. There. was firmness at the
opening, followed by mild sort of
bear attack in spots and then a revis-
ion to steadiness the net result being
practically no change at all up to mid
day. This description applies to the in
dustrial list only. In the railroad de-
partment there was not a little liqui-
dation at intervals. which carried pric-
es down fraction to a point or so and
depressed those of the coal carrying
roads in particular and a few others
ont to two points.
The gradual crystallization of the
government S price regulation plans,
which has about reached the point Of
including coal, was the direct cause of
this liquidation. Reading lost some 3
points, Delaware and Hudson and Rock
Island nearly 2 points; New York Cen
tral, New Haven, Lehigh Valley and
Norfolk and Western over a point each
Heaviness developed in the indus
trial list in the afternoon, including
the steel, sugar and tobacco shares, but
the process was so gradual as to reflect
little more than neglect. Crucible Steel
was an exception, but still ruled one

vious closing. The close was irregular

H. A. Rawson and family arrived
home from California last night max
ing drive yesterday of 1875 miles, just
to have the comfort Of a good home bed
once more. They left about four weeks

the advice of Santa R0sans they came
home by the coast route, through Yre-
ka and Crescent City, striking the Pa
cific highway at Grants Pass.
The coast road Mr.. Rawson says, is
fun of scenery, and also of danger. The
road in places is very narrow, and a
number of autos lie wrecked in the
canyons below it. 1t is up or down all
the way and until improved autoists
will do well to adoid it. At Uhiak they

HIGHER WAR TAXES
ON PROFITS is ASKED
Senator Johnson Demands
This Country Follow Eng
lands Example

Washington, Aug. 20.--Demanding o
higher war profits tax in the revenue
bill, Senator johnson this afternoon
told the senate "those who con tho
blood Of war are best able to pay tho
debt of war.
The Californian, predicted that if
the United States goes on appropriate
ing money at the present rate its war
debt would exceed, by the end of next
year that contracted by any other ma
ton.
The committee IS argument that war
profits ought not be taxed so heavily
as to drain them at one effort, John
son replied:
Is it wise craftsmanship to look
TO the time when there will be no war
profits and expect then to tax thema
We have got to do as Great Britain is
doing by taking the larger part of these
profits instead of mere trifle. =
johnson asked the senate to 'sshow
the same enthusiasm in conscripting
wealth that was shown when the
youth was drafted
Senator LaFollette, who was to have
begun today his fight on the war prof
its and income tax provisions of tho
bill, announced he would not be ready
until tomorrow.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, in a

able distribution of the tax burden.

ARIZONA GOVERNOR
CONDEMNS BOTH SIDES
Finds DepOrtatiOns We're Un-
lawful at Same Tine
ROasts |. W. W.

Phoenix, Ariz-, Aug. 20.-Tactics en-
ployed by both sides in the Bisbee
strike and subsequent deportation were
condemned by Governor Campbell. in
his letter to authorities of Cochise
county, made public today. The gov
ernor declared the method used in pre-
senting demands to the mine operators
and calling of a strike Immediately
thereafter without resort to the refer
endum on the part of those affected
was unfair. The tactics used by strik-
ers, the governor declares, brought
about reign of terror in the district,
invading the right of the whole body
polite.
Referring to the I. W. W. the gov
ernor said:
"The principles of the I. w. w. are
stencil in the nostrils of decent Amer.
leans. Insofar as my power as COVER
nor of Arizona extends, / shall not
tolerate ir the remotest degree their
application in Arizona. A menace to
civic well being and industrial progress
in time Of peace the liberation of their
doctrines during a state of war is
treason. -
The governors report of his personal
investigation in the Bisbee district
states that the civil government had
not broken down. He declares the de-
portation of men by the sheriff July
l2 was illegal and finds the Loyalty
League committee, which has been
passing on the cases Of men entering
the district, also without legal stand
ing. He orders that it cease its aetivi-
ties at opce. In conclusion the COVER
nor says: "Henceforth | shall look
to the officials of Cochise and all Ari-
zona counties for cooperation in en-
forcement of the laws.
The governor declares it would be a
disgraceful blot on the history of the
state "if we, the responsible officers,
are obliged to admit that cur proper
functions have broken down and that
the last resort--martial law-must be
invoked"

ACHES AND PAINS

Don t neglect pain anywhere, but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. A pain in the kidney
regions may put you on your back to-
morrow. Don't blame the weather for
swollen feet, it may be an advanced
warning of Bright 5 Disease. A pain
in the stomach may be the first symp-
tom of appendicitis. A creak in a
joint may be the forerunner of rheu-
matism. Chronic headaches mores than
likely warn you of serious stomach
trouble. The best way is to keep in
good condition day in and day out By
regularly taking G OLD MEDAL
OIL Capsules Sold by re-
liable druggists. In boxes, three sizes,
Money refunded if they do not help you
Beware Of substitutes. The only pure
imported Haarlem Oil Capsules are the
