Exemption

The department has wisely decided that there shall be class exemptions in the operation of the selective draft law. Any other decision would have been unjust It at one time suggested that all married men should be exempt and all who gagged in farming in mining and in other industries having any relation the If that followed there would be enough left after exemptions disability unfitness generally for the raising of such army it is proposed to mobilize.
 There is no good reason or any reason why should be exempt merely because he has wife, wife and children. If they dependent upon him and in his absence would suffer would have to be supported by the government that is another matter Then the husband should be exempt just single man should be upon whom are dependent aged and helpless parents helpless younger brothers and sisters. These are matters though, which will be treated individually, just as they should be-
 It will not be enough to say that family would suffer grief if the husband should go France So will the father the mother, the brothers and sisters of the single if he goes Nor is it enough say that the wife and children of the married in he goes, may be able live in the style to which they have been accustomed; that they will have to undergo privatons and practice trenchment. All make sacrifice.
 There many young at work farms and in factories who will have to give place to older who are not eligible for the draft, if such have been proposed to be created. Either such displacements will have to take place the army act will have to be amended to make these older eligible military service There be something for them to do either at home abroad. The whole burden of fighting and of supporting the fighting cannot be permitted rest upon that small part of the male population included within a narrow range of ten years of age.
 The chief thing to be done is to place every where he give the greatest assistance the try, in the field the farm, in the mine in the factory, and his fitness must be determined individual and not a member of class.

YOUNG PEOPLE OF
 CHURCH ON PICNIC

Nearly 50 of the young people of the First Baptist church. under the auspices of the Baptist Young Peo- ple's union, participated in a moon light hayrack ride on Thursday even ing to Papago park and return. Vein CTS were toasted around a huge bon fire against the cliffs and with soda pop and sandwiches a typical desert luncheon was enjoyed. One of the things that added to the pleasure of the evening, was the large truck float furnished by Chambers Trans fer company, with the genial Henry Chambers at the wheel. The Baptist Young People are all strong for Henry and insist that he was the important factor in the pleasure of the evening. A plea for a repetition If the ride in the near future gratl- fled the social committee, who prom ise a second outing.

PUBLIC LAND DEPARTMENT

By special arrangement with A. Mandl, land attorney, The Arizona Republican will conduct Land Department. Not only will Attor- ney Mandl, through The Republi- can, attempt to answer questions of general interest relating to pub lie lands, federal and state, but he also proposes to place this depart ment without charge at the service of all homestead entrymen who have enlisted in or been called to the service of our country. Those desiring to avail themselves of this service should notify this depart ment. Such notices should state number and date of entry and full description of land entered. All communications should be ad- dressed to Land Editor, Arizona Republican"
 The Republican assumes no re- sponsibiIity for the views or opin- ions expressed in this department. This responsibility rests entirely with Attorney MandI, who ranks among the successful specialists in public land law in the southwest. He is a graduate of the New York University, was for years connect I ed with the General Land Office and with the local land office as special agent and clerk.

By A, Mandl

I am frequently asked, What is gov ernment land?" What must one do to secure it?" What is state land, and what is the difference between it and government land?' ~How can state land be Obtained?'
 It is proposed to furnish in this col Ymn the necessary information, in so far as it is available, relative to the various ways in which public land may be acquired. There will appear series of articles on the different laws gov erning entries of public lands and the manner in which state lands may be acquired. Matters of interest affecting public lands will also be given space in this column This department will also answer all questions involving government and state lands and ques- tions of law appertaining to them. The following are the kinds of entries that can be made for government land under the agricultural land laws: Homestead, Enlarged Homestead, | Stock Grazing Homestead, Desert | Land, Timber and Stone. | Lands chiefly valuable for minerals may be taken up as mining claims, either lode or placer.
 | There are also various kinds of scrip that may be applied on vacant non mineral land.
 State lands are disposed of by lease and by sale.
 | There are in this state, according to the latest government estimates, about
 35.000,000 acres of public vacant land, | including surveyed and unsurveyed | land. The government desires that this vast acreage be settled on, devel- oped and improved, and is, accordingly,
 very liberal in it's dealings with set
 tiers and entrymen of public lands
 However, one preparing to settle upon
 or enter public lands should provide
 himself with enough means to live on until he can earn money on the land The state of Arizona, also, by the

Mrs. Lindsey Goes Hence

Mrs Estella Lawton Lindseys political councilwoman alderwoman of Los Angeles brief as it could have been-it confined to single term. Mrs Lindsey's early cutting off is tributed to suddenly "swelled head" in part and in part to disregard of election promises. She one of several members of the council who had prom ised to abate the billboard nuisance and when the op portunty for abatement she, with others of her colleagues, became billboard supporters AL nearly all of them candidates for reelection, but the election resulted that the bboards will be with out friends in the next council
 Mrs. Lindsey especially resentful of newspaper criticism of her change of front with respect the billboard question. In that respect she is not alone Other compliments against the newspapers the Hon. Claude Kitchin and Hon. William Joel Stone, both Of whom in retalatory spirit believe the papers ought to be punished, if suppressed-they throw too much light dark places and excite com ment.
 After the primaries, in which Mrs Lindsey led all other councilmanic candidates she was endued with mistaken of power She felt sure of re -eec- ton It then that she declared that she would put the newspapers business or so help her God she would make them clean meaning thereby we SUD- pose, that she would make them respectful of her vagrant notions in regard to billboards
 Whatever she may do for the admonishment and reformation of the newspapers she will have to do as a private citizen and very private one for she was retired to private life with almost unnecessary violence Of the eighteen candidates for the council only one received fewer votes than Mrs. Lindsey
 So. If there is other reformatory agency at hand the Los Angeles newspapers will have to remain in that state of uncleanness and inquy so greatly pored by Mrs. Lindsey. However she will henceforth

Commercial Review

NEW YORK, June B. Tomorrow Bradstreet's will say:
 Reports of slow. backward retail trade. which has been only slightly inn proved by warmer weather. throw into bold relief by contrast the unparalleled activity in the leading industrial lines, iron, steel shipbyilding, coal mining textiles and lumber, which industries move along to the tune of advancing prices, while at the same time govern ment buying tends to divert interest from regular trade channels. In a word, demand in industrial lines, greatly ac- centuated by the needs of war, is in satiable and while every ounce of ener- gy is being used to keep up with de- mands. supplies of labor or of transpor- tation facilities are wholly inadequate. In an industrial sense the country is Oversold. But regular distributive trade waits. partly because a spirit of econ omy is abroad in the land, and also be- cause the price barometer is too high Continued on Page Nine)

SENATE IN HISTORY
MAKING DEBATE

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The
United States senate this afternoon is
involved in one of the most important
debates in the history of America.
Patriotism is the key note of the
speeches of the republicans and demo
Gratis alike. The subject under dis
cussion is the bill granting the presi-
dent authority to force armed neutral
ity.
II seems plainly the policy of some
of the republican senators to force an
extra session of congress.
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, insists that
The provocation does not yet warrant
the declaration of war with Germany.
The debate has produced complete
legislative blockade, and meanwhile
The army appropriations bill has been
sidetracked.
TIE republican members are divided,
and Senator Fall, formerly bitter
enemy of the president has warned
his colleagues that they should not at
this time attempt to force an extra
session.
Senator Stone is against the bill be.
cause he believes II is a violation of
the constitution and destructive TO the
powers of congress to set a precedent
which is frought with further peril
He said the navy had a plan for pro
viding submarine chasers TO protect
merchant vessels which will clear way
for ships to go back on their regular
runs on the Atlantic.
This caused hot row, some of the
senator's favoring an executive ses-
sion. Senator Stone said this would
mean an act of war.
Senator Mann, the republican mem.
Der, says that an extra session of con-
gres sis unavoidable. because the time
is so short and so much work remains
to be done.
