A good time to practice conser-

A good time to practice conser-
walton is the appr oaching Christ
mas season with it extravagant
useless giving of presents. De-
vote the money usually squander-
ed at this season to making dona-
tions to the soldiers boys in the
camps. Christmas giving has
degenerated into a cold CONNER
cial proposition, anyway, and
this is a good time to get back to
a sane holiday season. Confne
your Christmas giving to the i'm
mediate family, and send to
others your Christmas greeting
on a card or in a letter. If they
are friends worth holding they
will appreciate the greetings far
more than some useless expen-
sive bauble, because it places
them under no financial obliga-
tions, Many Christmas pres
ent is sent prompted solely by
avarice, thinking they will get in
return a more valuable gift from
the friend remembered, and such
giving robs the holiday season of
all it's charm and good cheer.
There is more JOY in passing out
a dollars worth of nickels to the
little eXpectant urchins on the
street on Christmas morning,
than in expending a hundred
dollars for gifts you cannot af-
ford to be sent out as cheap beg
gers for more valuable gifts in
return. This is good year to
the sane Christmas of our fore
fathers by a lavish expenditure
in greetings instead of presents.

Movie" Exhibitors are Patriotic

The United States Civil Service
Commission has received an ex-
preston of the patriotism of
practically all the exhibitors of
motion pictures in the United
States. The Government is in
need of thousands of typewriter
operator snd stenographers of
both sexes for war work in
Washington, and through it's 3,
600 local boards of examiners in
that many cities, the Commits
sion requested the owners and
managers of motion pictures
theaters to allow free sof charge
an announcement on their screens
of this need of the Government.
The refusals were so few as to
be negligible. Not more than a
hundred of the 10000 odd exhibi-
tors who were approached declin-
ed to render to the people the
service asked. Even these can
not be charged with dislyalty;
most of them held decided views
as to their duty to their patrons
who pay for entertainment only.
The only criticism of the Govern
ment came from three exhibitors
who declined on the ground that
it was proposed to place tax on
motion ;picture tickets. One
owner asked remuneration in the
sum of 25 cents a week, and an
other stipulated that he was to be
relieved of any responsibility for
damage to the slides furnished
by the Government. The slides
cost less than 10 cents apiece.
Almost WlCnOuC exception Cne
movie" men were not only will
ing, but were even eager to serve
the Government as requested.
This hearty response from 20, 900
business men representative of
every part of the country has a
striking significance, 1t is in
teresting to note in this connec-
ton that the estimated daily at
tendance at motion picture shows
in the United States is ten mil =
lion. This allows an average of
500 for each house.

New Mexico next month is to
vote on the question of a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of
liquor, and the indications seem
to be bright that it will carry.
If the people of our neighboring
state will study the one item of
increased bank deposits in this
state since the adoption of con-
stitutional prohibition, largely
due to the savings of the men
who formerly spent their money
in saloons, they will therein find
an answer to the liquor argument
that prohibition kills business.
The only business killed by prohi-
bition is the saloon business. All
legitimate lines of trade show an
improved and healthy condition.
less bad debts, more cash tran
sactions, and greater sales. The
money formerly spent for liquor
goes to provide the family with
necessities and some luxuries,
and a habit of thrift is devel-
oped.

The State Of Arizona subscrib-

that our citizens are not in the
pro-German class.
The Winslow mail., 1917-11-02

A circular from the publicity
department of the wholesale IL
quor dealers association says
that the increased cost of liquor
is due to the anti-saloon league.
If that is true we owe an apology
to the anti-saloon league. We
have always held that the leaders
in that movement were choice
bunch of grafters working saloon
men to pay them for senseless
agitation, and never advancing
the cause of prohibition, but if
they have been the means of
increasing the cost of liquor we
are for them once anyway, and
hope they will be instrumental
in raising the price still higher.

Governors Mansion.

papers in the state are beginning
the agitation of a Governors
mansion, but let US hope there
will be no legislature so foolish
as to make an appropriation for
such a building. AS the title
suggests, they want a mansion
and not a modest little home,
and then will come appropria-
tions every year not only for up
keep, but for fuel and servant
hire, which will be absolutely
necessary if the place is to be
maintained in keeping with the
dignity of a governors mansion.
The argument will be made that
these items will have to be borne
by the occupant, but in few
years it will be discovered that
the niggardly salary paid a gov
ernor will not be sufficient to
defray the cost of maintaining
the mansion, and the bars of ex-
'travagance will then be let down.
There is always the assumption
that the man elected to the posi-
tion of governor is a man of con-
siderable private means, and that
he would be willing to meet the
expense incident to maintaining
a mansion out of his private
purse, but three is the chance
that some time a man might be
chosen to the place with very
limited, if any, surplus wealth,
and to ask him to occupy the
mansion and maintain it at his
private expense would work a
serious hardship, and if he
sought more modest quarters in
keeping with his ability to pay,
the closed mansion stands as a
grim monument to the COVER
nor's poverty. To make it COM
pulsory for the governor to live
in the mansion is an open declara-
tion that only men of wealth and
social aspirations need apply as
a candidate for the office. which
would be strictly un-American to
the last degree.
The governors salary is fixed
by the constitution, and out of
this sum he is supposed to pay
all his personal living expenses.
To build a mansion for his oc-
cupancy rent free is just another
method of increasing his pay,
and lets down the bars for an ad-
ditional biennial appropriation
of SIS, 600 or $4,000 for main
tenance, and for what good pur-
pose-that society may have a
rallying center to be entertained
at the expense of the state. We
are in favor of increasing the
salary, not only of the governor
but all other state officers to
decent figure, and the governors
salary should be not less than
$4,000 a year, but under no con-
dition should the state ever invest
a dollar in a governors mansion.
Let the governor, the same as
every other state official, rent the
kind of home he feels he is able
to afford, and if he wants to
turn it into the social center for
Phoenix society that is his per-
sonal affair. If he wants to live
in a more modest way that also is
his right and privilege, and no
should be foisted upon
him.

With the increased demand for
labor from all sections of the
country there is no excuse for
the existence of the professional
tramp and hobo going through

The American army in France
had their first baptism of fire last
week in the front trenches, and
in a few more weeks the horrors
of war will be brought closer
home to our people which may,
and we hope will, have the ef-
feet of arousing the general apa-
thy so apparent up to this time.

The Nogales Herald, with an
eye for financial gain, issued a
double page advertisement for
Liberty bonds and called on the
business men to place ADVERTISE
ments around the border to pay
for the whole space. Because
two or three firms refused to be
worked on the graft game, they
were assailed editorially as pro-
Germans, slackers, and lacking
iu patriotic spirit. There is no
loyalty or patriotism in any pa
per that uses Liberty bonds or
any other war propaganda as the
basis for blackmailing merchants
to give it advertising patronage.
The Nogales Herald evidently
belongs to that class of patriots
whose loyalty is measured by
dollars and cents.

Food conservation does not
mean to deprive yourself of your
food requirements, but it means
not to waste even a crust of
bread. The American people as
a class are extravagant and
wasteful because heretofore there
has always been an abundance,
and no thought was taken of
saving. 1t is time now to save.
