A Mistaken Preparedness Policy

The Bisbee Review blndly seconds the propaganda of the Springfield dass) Republican strewing of the highways by fitting automobsts with flower seeds whose rpenng fruit will become proven der for chickens the aim and intent being produce eggs and fried chicken at smaller cost The sugges- ton the Republican from the perngrnations of Jonathan Chapman. better known Johnny Appleseed who traversed the great Ohio Valley hJtle than century ago. carrying always a bag of apple seeds which he planted promiscuously throughout wide region We have seen in Ohio many old orchards whose descendants within the first generation from which grew from the seeds planted by Johnny Appleseed.
 But reverting- to the sunflower campaign we think that the Republican has kind in mind and the Review another The is majestic flower and the other is weed and nuisance, little to be preferred over Johnson or Bermuda grass. The former, with brilliant radate disk from nearly two feet in diameter, grows to height of twelve and twenty feet. It is known the Helianthus It is cultivated for both use and ornament in the eastern and middle west part of the country The seeds large, about the size and shape of watermelon seeds They used for feed and oil expressed from them is used for a variety of purposes among hem the manufacture of varnshes This kind of -lnflower be controlled about easily corn
 The sunfower the Review knows about, and the only Kind we nave seen In Arizona or the southwest is the Heanthus petioars which is regarded in the az rcultura regions of Arizona of the afflic- tons laid upon this favored regof to the end that the inhabitants may become so attached to it as to hate leave it to go to heaven.

 If the Review persists in the sunflower policy as war preparedness measure it will stir up revolt among the farmers of the Salt the Yuma Verde and the Upper Gila valleys and will distract them from the needed cooperation their efforts against Kais erism and the high cost of living It will produce schism in agricultural regions less sharp that which dsturbs Russia.

OPPOSES TAX ON LOW INCOMES

There be little question that effort will be made greatly to increase the yield of the income by raising the rates incomes taxed and by lowering the exemptions to $1,50O and s2,000
 The income tax is expected to yield quarter billion in the present fiscal year The normal rate at least be doubled without serious hardship to any class of income payers and there every social and fiscal why the additional rates on large incomes should be increased in greater propor- tion. With the increased rates and more systematic efforts to foresall tax lodging, threeq quarters of billion could be drawn from the present roll income taxpayers
 How much should be able add to this sum by lowering the exemptions? According to Professor Seligman all that might be expected from taxing incomes falling between $1,5OO-$2,0OO and $3,oOO- $4000 would be about eight million dollars for each l cent of tax. Not much relief to the budget is to be derived from taxing the smaller incomes any rate that would be politically practicable Much is to be expected from the development of the profit tax.
 Whatever may do in the way of regulating prices, there to remain multitudes of esab- lshments securing rich profits from the business pansion attendant upon disbursements. Such profits ought be diverted in far practicable to the national treasury. quarter of a billion from such sources is not immoderate expectation.-The New Republic

War Contracts and Geography

The mayor of Los Angeles has addressed a letter to the military department asking that local con- tractors be given preference building of bar racks and other necessary structures connection with the fertilization general construction of Fort Macarthur Point Firmin. There is in this request something of argument that this work belongs to Los Angeles. that the Qualifications themselves are especially intended be for glorfication of Los Angeles and that therefore any profits arising from the prosecution of this Los Angeles military defensive enterprise should nure to the happy and fortunate citizens of Los Angeles
 We believe that it would be wise especially at this time leave the whole matter of construction to the government, bound by restrictions of preferences to the contractors of any locality. If Los Angeles contractors can do the work cheaper and do work than contractors under the unfortunate handi cap of residence in Portland, Maine some other locality removed from Angeles let the Los Angeles contractors have the contract.
 If Los Angeles were going to pay for the work it would be that contract should be awarded to local contractors higher figure than out side contractors would charge it would be proper that the laborers of Los Angeles should be given preference in employment Outanders couId not be heard to complain It would be of their business But Los Angeles is not going pay for the work, except for it's share of it. and it's share will be pro-
 
 the land suffering under the twinges of the still higher cost of living.
 The Los Angeles contractors being on the ground and locally well organized ought to be able do this work for less money than outsiders. If and their bids are otherwise satisfactory they should have the contracts But no preference should be shown them, only consideration and consideration should based on the bids and not on geography
 At this time when much money is needed and Will be needed and which in way another will be contributed by every citizen of it should be frittered away by preferences The people want the most work for the least money.

Of the island, in the waters stretch

The hood seals, soealled because Of

less numerous than the other species,
the harps, named from lyrelike mark

tinction, unless protective steps were
taken, was near. The law this year
also renders it difficult, IL not impos-
sible, for big ships of the type utilized
of late years ever to be employed in
the industry again. The statute limits
