GETTING OFF EASY

True to Yankee character istics, a great many Americans are raising a howl at the pro- posed war taxation. Yet why should anyone who is left safe at home complain? His sacri- fees and hardships are naught compared with those of the boys at the front. Even tho the taxes took all of a mans pro- perty, he would still be getting off easy compared with the boys who are asked to offer their lives as a sacrifice for their country. But what is ask ed by the proposed war tax is but small per cent of the na- tion's wealth. The citizens at home are being let off easy. They should be glad to pay the war tax and to oversubscribe the war bonds, and make the small sacrifices that this may make necessary.
 We understand that news papers are ap to be taxed some eight per cent of their slender incomes. That means hard digging for the country news papers, in order to survive, but the News, for one, certainly will not object if such a tax is really needed.

No one doubts that Colonel Roosevelt has the courage to make a good soldier. There is reason to doubt, however, his competency to command 8 hundred thousand volunteers, on the French front. MT. Roosevelt has had very little military training, and it is a notable fact that practically ev- cry commander of note, in all wars, has had a thoro course of military training. Let Roose- welt and his volunteers go to the front and let them fight, but the command must be in the hands of competent generals. Presi- dent Wilson will see to that. If Roosevelt can prove himself Q competent general then let him command. Otherwise it would be a serious blunder to have him placed in charge of all army.

A SUGGESTION
Editor Williams News:

Did any one ever think of applying to the state game warden of Ari- zona to get a supply of moun- tain trout to put in the dams about Williams? The fish would help purify the water and reduce the cost of living a little. In time there would be plenty of fish to supply all who live in Williams. The fish would add to the towns attractions for tourists coming thru, also. This added to the beautiful scenery would help a great deal in inducing tourists to stop over when passing thru.

IS WILLIAMS ON THE MAP? :?
Governor Campbell and the De- fense Council Do Not Know
 It If It Is

When appointing the mem- bers of the State Council of De- fense, Governor Campbell ap- pointed four members to that Council from Flagstaff. Flag staff is not quite all of Coconino county. There is a town of near fifteen hundred souls situ- ated in the western part of Co., conino county named Williams. This town, half as large as it's inconsiderate neighbor, is in habited by intelligent human beings who pay their taxes and are worthy of recognition. The town, together with the re- mainder of the western part of Coconino county, is large enough, populous enough, and wealthy enough to make a sep arate and prosperous county. Fairness and efficiency should have dictated the appointment of one member, at least, of the four in the county, from Will Hams. Yet no such member was appointed and Williams raised no complaint, hoping for fair treatment, and disliking to raise a note of discord at this time of national peril.
 One of the great tasks for the American people, in aiding their country and it's allies, in this war, is the raising of an in- creased supply of food. Presi- dent Wilson has urgently re- quested that every foot of available soil should be plant ed to food crops. To the mem- bers of the Council of Defense was delegated the task of stim- ulating, aiding and increasing crop production in their various counties. The Coconino mem- bers of the Council immediate ly took up the matter in Flag staff, and we have it on good authority, that from two to three times the usual acreage will be planted to food crops in that section of the county. Will Hams was absolutely ignored, until last week, and even then the action that was taken was not fostered by members of the Council. Seed should have been supplied a month ago and was for the most part, in Flagstaff.
 At least one car of potatoes might have been placed in Will. Hams for spot cash. The farm. CTS about Williams are no less reliable than those about Flag staff, or any other class of peo pie, for that matter. The ples of President Wilson urged tha' everything possible be done tt increase the crop acreage. Thi' would certainly imply that al inquiry be made into the situa tion at once, that the needs o. the farmers be learned, anc , that some plan be followed whereby all those able to pay should be supplied with seec
 at once-and in Flagstaff i meant that credit shouldbe pro
 vided for others not able t
 pay cash. Yet the Council ig ! nored Williams. Was this inten tional, was it an oversight, O.
 was it the result of ignorance
 It would not have happened
 had one member of the Counci
 been appointed from Williams Williams and vicinity re
 sponded to the country's cal for volunteers, by sending nor, than the proportionate quota
