THE DEEP CURRENT.

The success of the military registration and the Liberty Loan are conclusive answers for those at home and abroad who said that the hearts of Americans not in this war
 The public acquiesced in the registry al most unanimously. Such opposition as develop ed was purely local, sporadic, individual. There was not tenth of the trouble that arose when the civil war draft was enforced no riots, no organized hostility, no sullen re- sistance The millions to whom the law ap piled went to their voting booths as readily as to presidential election, and with less dis order than we have ever had on national election day.
 As for the Liberty Loan it shows the tion's willingness to pay as clearly as the res ponse to selective conscription shows its will lingness to fight It is the most remarkable public loan in the history of this country. not only in size but in the zeal which 1t has been taken up. The whole amount would have been over-subscribed long ago if it had been left to the banks. The government wisely made 1t not bankers loan but a popular loan. The appeal was all to the common citizen, the small subscriber And the way in which the general public has taken hold everywhere has surprised the administration. All sorts of business institutions all sorts of organizations people and interests of every kind and degree. have voluntarily devoted their best energies to this work The public has literally taken the huge bond issue out of the hands of the government and sold it to itself.
 All this has been done without excite ment For the public is not at all excited over the war And that is the fact that has fooled so many observers. We were noisy and rather hysterical about the Spanish war; Now we are quiet, with the calmness of deep feeling and determination.
 It's the shallow water that nipples and foams, and the deep current that flows smooth The nation is quiet not because it is apathe tie, but it is tremendously in earnest.

ANNUAL TAX CONFERENCE CALLED.

 At this meeting the valuations on all classes of property in the State will be discussed; the object being to gather information which will aid the State Board in securing a just and equitable equalization. Unusual i'm portance attaches to the Conference this year in view of the greatly in creased valuations anticipated ol most classes of property.
 Formerly the Commission has re- quired the attendance of all the Clerks of the Boards of Supervisors and ordered that the Assessment rolls of each county be brought to the meeting, but this year the Commis, sion, as an experiment, is leaving the Clerks and the Rolls at home; thus eliminating considerable expense which, in the past, has been the cause of much criticism.

ARIZONA ON THE FIRING LINE.

Unless the First Arizona is recruited to ar strength by August 4th, the regiment will lose its identity as all Al!z0na unit ln the NS- lional army and is officers and wIil be scattered to the four winds among the regi- ments filled by the selective draft.
 The efforts to recruit men for the First Arizona have been certainly discouraging The regiment is still short 1900 men and the prospects of getting them by August up to this time seemed very slim but big drive has been started by the Arizona Council of Defense for recruits and it is now pretty cer- tain that Arizona will have representation by a unit bearing the states name in the new army.
 The failure of the young of the state 10 respond has been due in great measure to the belief that the regiment will be left here for police duty on the border and will not see service in France This is not the case how ever The National Guard Regiments are to gc concentrated in ten great cantonments and intensively trained for service with the first contingent of half million men to be sent to France.
 These men. who have had extensive mili- tary training will naturally be first on the firing line and will get there long before the men chosen by the selective draft. There will be more opportunity for promotion and bet ter chance to win distinction in state regi- lnent like the First Arizona than in regiments filed later by the selective draft.
 It would be lasting disgrace to the state to have il said all over the land that Ari- could not raise single regiment to represent the state in France.

DRY" SPOTS FOR TRAINING CAMPS

Tue advantage of prohibition for war pur- poses has Leen recognized in the selection of training camps for the armies Nearly all these camps have been located in dry states. There are exceptions, such as Louis vile, Ky, and Chilicothe, O., places selected because of strategic advantages. But other things being equal, the ''dry" place seems to have been preferred in every instance.
 This moral favoritism shown strik ingly in the selection of Des Moins, Ia, for the Nebraska-Iowa, Minnesota-Dak contingent Fort Smelling, Minn., the first choice of the commander of the central army department, but it had to surrender to Des Moines because Minnesota is wet and Iowa is dry. Ft. Riley, Kan, was chosen likewise by virtue of the arid pre-eminence of Kansas over Mis- souri and Colorado. In Michigan, dry" Bat tie Creek won against '-wet'' Grand Rapids.
