THE "PORK BARREL"

The house committee has agreed on
the "pork barrel bill, otherwise
known as the appropriation bill for
the improvement of rivers and har-
bors. 1t carries a little more than
$3S, 100000. But the "pork barrel"
has little wider mouth than that.
1t also takes in appropriations for
public buildings.
A lot of the pork sought has failed
to get into the barrel. Were it not
so, the bill would carry approximately
eighty million dollars, instead of less
than half that sum.
But here are some facts regarding
the public buildings porcine program.
These figures are taken from a state
ment by Congressman Frear of Wis
consin, and were unchallenged when
he read them before the committee:

This would seem very severe case;

rude and ungentlemanly manner,

your tax receipts and have him show
them to the dog. 1t always pays to
be diplomatic.

Sun Ed recently sold my prop
erty and received the cash for it from
P. G., now he wants possession Of it.
Is there any law compelling me to
turn it over to him, merely because
he paid for it?
Not in Arizona. There used to be
some such theory advanced years ago,
but in later years the laws have held
that each party to the contract should
hold in his hand his part of the deal,
you holding your part Of the deal in
your hand, and then both jerk at the
same time; whatever fell on the
ground was up to a "grand scramble"
which is Latin for git yours first and
don't drop anything"
Editor Sun:-What does ode facto"
mean? G. w. P. II.
This is rather a chiropadical term,
but is being used in Arizona to some
extent in the anti-grubinatorial con-
test, which is something Of "toe-nail
grab" Homer-Huntley speaking, in
dicating that if your party has lost
you must hold on that way until
something turns up.

from Washington that the pressure
for these appropriations is so great
that they probably will go through
despite the warning of a big deficit.
The pressure" from the town Of
Lewisburg, West Virginia, not includ-
ed in the above tabulation, must be
terrific. 1t has s03 inhabitants, all
clamoring for the $4,000 government
building the bill proposes to erect.
Lewisburg's postal receipts for the
fiscal year ending July /, 1916, were
$4,000, and its postoffice now costs the
government $40 year rental.
Also included in the bill is an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for postoffice
building at Hazard, Kentucky, which
has population of 537! The govern
ment rents quarters now at cost Of
$3.50. A jump from $3.50 year rent
al to the investment; of $4,000 in con-
struction is some jump.
Five thousand dollars for a site in
little town Of S31 people, and s10,-
900 for a site in town Of 1854 popu-
lation, indicate fat profits for owners
of those sites.
And putting up government build
ings in mere villages, in order that
congressman may make their re-elec-
ton sure, is not the end Of the ex-
travagance. Every building so erect
ed must be maintained and charges
for interest and depreciation reckoned.
Each Of these public buildings adds a
permanent burden to the expense Of
the government.
When the average citizen begins to
appreciate the cause and-effect rela-
tons between his federal tax cost and
the "pork barrel" he will demand a
change. If congress finds it neces-
sary to reduce the exemption Of the
income tax, so that it's incidence will
be on a broader basis, this healthy
sentiment will be greatly increased

YATES STANDRIDGE
 GETS CONTEMPLATION
Noted Criminal is Recipient of Christmas Clemency of
 Governor.

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-Yates Stand ridge, one of Arkansas most noted criminals, was one of those receiving cleniency from Governor Brough in the latter's Christmas pardon and communication list. Standridge's sen tence was reduced from 52 to 15 years. He will be eligible for parole under the reduced term.
 Standridge is serving sentence for killing man and woman and wounding another woman. He re- ceived sentences of 20 years on each of the murder charges, and 12 years for the wounding of the other woman. The killings occurred near Stand ridges home in Newton county. Standridge, an escape at the time, was trying to induce his wife, who was with the three, to accompany him.
 Standridge began his sentences nine years ago.
 During his penitentiary career, Standridge has escaped three times. His third recapture was made recent ly. He first was sentenced to the pen itentiary for shooting Newton coun- ty officer. While serving the first term he was said to have participated in the killing of a guard. He escaped and while at large committed the other two murders.

Cypsies' Christmas.

The gypsy Christmas is love feast and a carnival in one. The wandering folk come together in tribal celebration to choose their queen for the beginning year. Each clan has its own uSages and superstitions. In ROumania the cradle, so they say, of nomadism, the gypsy queen is crowned with roses, and roses tip her scepter and her wand. In place of holly and mistletoe the hardy little rosebud which blossoms at this season on the apex of the hills is hon. ored not for it's sweetness merely, but because of a fair Christmas legend which the gypsy folk would make dis tinctively their own.-Chicago Tribun 3

 To get down to something you can understand, it means that every man in this country has to give up nearly half of what he earns this year. The government is going to get this money, because, it has to have. it. Of course 1t can tax your income, taXe every thing you eat and drink, your land and your cattle, and raise the money this way. However, this would be too hard on you, so the government has decided to ask you to loan some of the money, with Uncle Sans own promise in the form of bond which can be handed around from man to man, almos. like a dollar bill You don't mind giving silver dollar in ex- change for a bill, and you can feel the same way about giving your check in exchange for a government bond.

Society people of several large American cities appear in the support of Emmy Wehlen in "The Duchess of Doubt" the five part Metro wonder play presented by B. A. Rolfe and d. rected by George D. Baker, to be shown at the Eagle theatre today. Many of the scenes for this comedy drama of the screen were made in famous winter resorts of Florida, at Palm Beach, St Augustine and Jack sonville and guests at the fashionable hotels showed the greatest interest in the production. Many of them acted as extra people" in the great ball room scene. and in other scenes where ensembles are used. Mir. Baker found them easy to direct, willing and anx- ious to obey instruc lions, and they have added much to the distinction of many of the scenes in "The Duchess of Doubt"
