The state examiner who dug
into the records of the old board
of supervisors discovered what
the WinsloW Mail has repeatedly
charged to be the facts. They
squandered the county money
without regard to law, or any
exercise of diligence to prevent
the county from being robbed.
The county attorney should in
stitute suits to recover all the
money illegally expended. 1t
can be said to the credit of the
supervisors that with all their
laxity in spending the county
money they are not guilty of ap-
propriating it to their lown bene-
fit. Their fault lies in taking
too broad a view of their powers,
and eXpending money without
authority of law. The supreme
court of this state has held that
supervisors pay all demands at
their peril, and it behooves them
to consider we'll every claim to
be certain that it is legal and
that the demand is in proper
form. Laws are made to be en-
forced, and laxity of enforce
ment is responsible for criminal
carelessness.

There are a lot of people in
this country whose patriotism is
represented by the dollar mark,
and this class can have another
opportunity to manifest their
loyalty by investing in the sec
ond issue of liberty bonds now
being offered, and their patriot
ism will draw four per cent with
no taxes to pay.

1t is about time Navajo county
started a house-cleaning and re-
moved every official who illegally
spends the county money, or
embezzles the money that comes
into his possession by virtue of
his office. Unless some such
drastic measures are taken this
county will continue to be cursed
with a lot of crooked officials.
If the county attorney does not
want to take the initiative he
should ask the superior court to
order grand jury.

If the government is going to
regulate the profits of the farm
er, the stock raiser, and the
mining companies, why not regu-
late the manufacturers, the meat
trust, the butter and egg trust, and
others handling food supplies.
Force them all in line, or give
them all free rein to put the
prices up to the limit.

How the War Has
Changed Newport

Like thousands of other
places, Newport has been made
over by the war. The very
streets look different; the spirit
of it's people has undergone a
sweeping transformation. Al
though this is true of every other
city, yet l think tits most evident
in Newport for in the past the
spirit of Newport has been social,
it's activities have been the acti-
vities of society, and in many
ways it has been a social model
for the rest of America.
Mrs. French Vanderbilt is the
authority for this statement.
She has written for the October
issue of Harper's Bazar an arti-
Gle on the Red Cross and other
war relief work in Newport.
Naturally, with such serious
work on all sides, the character
of Newport has changed COM
pletely. And the cause for this
change was the visit of the
"U-53." The people of Newport
had to house and care for the

boom.

The democratic newspapers
that are taking special delight in
assailing Gov. Campbell at every
turn, should revert to some of
their old files and read the walls
they sent up when the anti-Hunt
newspapers were firing contin-
ued partisan assaults on Gov.
Hunt. They should heed their
own walls at that time, and give
fair play. The assaults and
clamor are deceiving no one. 1t
is part Of a carefully laid plan to
stir up a strife in the hope of in
fluencing the supreme court when
the HUT Campbell contest comes
before it for final adjudication.
We have higher opinion of the
integrity of our supreme judges
than the claquers at Gov. Camp
BELLS heels.

If Winslow ever expects to ad-
vance out of the class Of a rural
town it must take up the ques-
tion of paving it's streets. At
present we are a fossilized COM
munity content to drift along
as we are, with no civic pride,
and apparently only thinking of
making a stake and then get
away to spend it. That is not
the spirit to make a live prosper

The new war tax bill that has
been agreed to by the House and

Friday, October 5, 1917.

Already our democratic breth-
ren are attempting to lay the
sins of the democratic legislature
on the shoulders of Gov. Camp
bell. The legislature loaded the
appropriation bill to the limit and
beyond, so much so as to threat
en- a wider breech in the party,
and it required a conference of
the faithful to revamp it to get
votes for it's passage. Now that
the tax rate has been increased
by the democratic tax commits
sion to raise the money to meet
the demands of the democratic
legislature, the democratic poll
ticians are becoming alarmed
over the conditions of their own
making, and are now charging
the increased taxation to the ex-
travagant administration of Gov.
Campbell. The appropriation
bill was made up and passed at
the time Gov. Campbell was only
the de facto governor, and the
democratic legislature were con-
fident the contest would result in
seating Gov. Hunt. They made
up the appropriations without
consulting Gov. Campbell in any
particular, and he signed the
bill to get the political bush
whackers off his hands. If the
contest had been decided in ia
vor of Gov. Hunt the same tax
levy would have been made; and
is anybody so gullible as to think
the democratic press would be
bowling about democratic extrav-
agance and a high tax rate, Not
so you could notice it. 1t would
be another story, and they would
be making a cardinal virtue out
of what they now wall is an ex-
travagance. In this connection
we desire to call the attention of
our democratic friends to an edi-
torial in this paper about two
years ago in defense of Gov.
Hunt against a charge of admin
istration extravaganza, and some
of that same spirit of fairness
should get under their hides. At
that time carping critics were
charging Mr.. Hunt with extrav-
agance because the assessed val
uation of the state had been in
creased a couple of millions and
the tax rate was raised. The in
creased assessment shows the
prosperity of the people, and the
tax rate has to be set at figure
high enough to produce revenue
sufficient to meet the appropria-
tions made by the legislature,
and the governor is not RESPONSE
BILE in any degree.

Some patriotic citizen should
supply Attorney General Wiley
Jones with a copy of the criminal
code of the state, and it is to be
regretted that it is impossible to
supply him with a moiety of legal
brains. His latest legal opinion
handed down is to the effect that
he can find no law that says
teachers must be paid oftener
than once month. On the same
reasoning he can find no law for
drawing his salary twice month.
The law says:
The state of Arizona, every de-
partment and institution of the
state, every county, etc., shall
designate regular days not more
than sixteen days apart as the
day fixed for the payment of
wages.
Perhaps under the logic of the
attorney general the university.
normal schools, and the public
schools are neither state or coun-
ty institutions. But we must
not be impatient. Wiley will
roll over in a few days and hand
out another opinion.

 "I know, and you know, what re- sponse to this great challenge of duty and of opportunity the nation will ex pect of you; and 1 know what response you will make. Those who do not respond. who do not respond in the spirit of those who have gone to give their lives for us on bloody fields far away, may safely be left to be dealt with by opinion and the laW-for the law must of course command those things. I am dealing with the matter thus publicly and frankly, not because I have any doubt or fear as to the result, but only in order that in all our thinking and in all our dealings with one another we may move in a perfectly clear air of mutual under standing.
 And there is something more that we must add to our thinking. The public is now as much part of the government as are the army and navy themselves; the whole people in all their activities are now mobiliZed and in service for the accomplishment of the nations task in this war; it is in
 
 to distinguish between industrial pur- chases made by the government and industrial purchases made by the managers of industries, and it is just as much our duty to sustain the indus trials of the country with all the in dustries that contribute to it's life, as it is to sustain our forces in the field and on the sea. We must make prices to the public the same as the prices to the government
 Prices mean the same thing every where now. They mean the efficiency or the inefficiency of the nation, whether it is the government that pays them or not. They mean victory or defeat They mean that America will win her place once for all among the foremost free nations of the world. or that she will sink to defeat and be- thought and in action This is day of her reckoning and every man amongst us must personally face that reckoning along with her.
 The case needs no arguing I as sume that I am only expressing your own thoughts-what must be in the mind of every true man when he faces I the tragedy and the solemn glory of 1 the present war for the emancpation of mankind I summon you to a great duty, great privilege, a shining dig | nity and distinction. I shall expect every man who is not a stacker to be at my side throughout this great enter prise. 1h 1t no man can win honor who thinks of himself"

 Referring to disloyal Lutherans. the council of defense in it's statement says:
 Perhaps never in history has it been deemed necessary by a public body to single out by name a great church or organization and appeal to the pa triotism of it's members to offset and check the dangerous tendencies of many of the conspicuous members of that organization. Because of the re- liable reports that may be said to come from every section of Nebraska and come in number by the hundreds it is necessary that the council make such an appeal for the respect to the organization known as the Lutheran church.
 Depending upon the American pa trlotism of the men and women who comprise the Lutheran church member ship, the council makes this appeal to ] them to put a check upon the un- American activities of some of their conspicuous and influential represen- tatives- The council could not wait until great damage is done before mak !! ing it's protest.

WASHINGTON. July 11.-Entry of the Republican troops into Peking was announced in a dispatch to the Chi nese legation today. indicating that monarchial coup d'etat had come to a complete failure.
 The dispatch was the first in two weeks to come through direct from the Peking foreign office. The sec Ond and final abdication of the Manchu emperor Hsuan Tung, it is said, is ex- pected momentarily along with the arrest of General Chang Hsun, the mil itary adventurer responsible for the coup, ordered taken into custody by the president.
 General Chang has withdrawn to the imperial city, sacred section of Pek- ing, where it is reported his troops are fast deserting him. Escape is cut off

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 11.-Henri Marquissan and Robert Mayresse, men young in age, but old in experience as sub lieutenants of the French fly ing corps, arrived here today to teach students at the signal corps aviation school. The present plan is for them to remain through the period of the war. Both aviators acted as pilots of scout planes at the battle of the Marne and took part in the furious air fight ing around Verdun.
 Five other French aviators sent to the United States have been assigned to government flying schools at Min cola, Long Island, and San Antonio, Texas.
 To assist the French aviators here the academy will soon receive a Nieu- port scout machine, said to be the fastest made in Europe. This ma chine was given to the American fly ing corps by the French minlSter of aviation.
