PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 12.-Arizona
editors do not take kindly to the at
tempt of Geo. w. P. Hunt to hold onto
the governors office. Practically every
paper in the state has condemned
Hunts action in refusing to give up
the office and even editors who for
merly supported the governor declare
he has lost prestige by his action.
The Bisbee Review (Dem.) declares
that Hunt is sinking more deeply each
day in the quicksands of his own crea-
tion. He has lost the respect of every
element in the state except the de-
structive agitators. Whatever merits
his case possessed are now overshad-
owed by his purile conduct Reckoned
by Arizona standards, he has been pro-.
claimed an outcast" The editorial
ends with the conclusion that it is
Hunts own fault that he will go to
his political grave unmourned and un-
cannot be eradicated.
ARIZONA no longer enjoys free
government" declares the Tucson
Citizen (Rep.), which compares Ari-
zona to the neighboring republic of
Mexico now in the throes of revolu-
ton. 1.-THE only difference between
Huerta and Hunt" says the Citizen,
"is that Huerta killed the duly elected
chief executive and Hunts gunmen
would have probably killed Tom Camp
bell had he attempted to forcibly oc-
cupy the office to which he is entitled.
Hunt stands repudiated by his own
party, and only handful of the faith
full still cling to him." The editorial
concludes with the declaration that lit
was a sorry day for Arizona when Geo.
w. p Hunt set foot on the soil of the
state" and describes him as an migrate
of the meanest sort. Again comment
ing on the subject of Hunt the Citizen
declares that Hunt can never be a SEN
ator from Arizona now and that even
if replaced by the courts he cannot be
governor more than six months as
there would be a recall waiting for him
at the end of that time
Fright and not might will prevail"
declares the Mesa Tribune (Rep)
which declares that the public can
wait in confidence now that proceed
ings have been instituted in the courts.

PLAN MAIL COURSES
FOR ARIZONA MINERS

An important need of the state of
Arizona is a method by which some of
The fifty thousand men employed in
The mines of the state can obtain the
necessary knowledge to enable them to
advance in their work. While there is
correspondence department in the
University of Arizona, it does not en-
tirely fulfill the needs. This depart
ment gives work at university rating
for university credit, to count towards
a degree. Whereas comparatively few
of the men employed in the mines have
had the opportunity to get the pre-re-
quisite subjects preliminary to these
courses. To get these prerequisites
would take so much time that they
would become discouraged and fail to
complete their plans.
1t is proposed to have the State
Bureau of Mines give correspondence
courses to those who are not able to
attend the university, the work being
given primarily for the miner and
prospector, not being designed to lead
to a degree, but merely to help man
better himself in his individual po-
sition.
In addition to this it is planned to
conduct miners Institutes in various
parts of the state, where the University
Of Arizona and the State Bureau of
Mines and it's opportunities will be
brought directly to the people to whom
it owes it's support.

PHOENIX, Jan. 12.-The third state

out so much as openly mentioning the
governorship situation. In the main

Washington, July 3.-The war tax
bill which is ready for the Senate,
carrying a billion, six hundred and
seventy million, is, destined to be
materially amended in the Senate and
further changed in conference. Elm
nations, however, embrace several
features objected to in the House.
Single persons with incomes of a
thousand dollars annually and mar
ried persons with two thousand dollar
incomes will be taxed a normal" two
per cent. The chief revenue comes
from increased income and excess

ANOTHER TEUToN
PLOT UNEARTHED
(Associated Press

Washington, July 3.-secret inves-
tigation of government agents has dis
closed great conspiracy to destroy
or hinder shipping on the Great Lakes.
and thereby delay the organization of
armies and checking the flow of food
and munitions to the Atlantic.
No conspirators have been arrested
but it is learned that the state, navy
and justice departments are cooper
ating in an effort to reach the offend
ers and Canada will probably be CALI
ed on to help in bringing the plotters
to justice.
The plot is said to be engineered
by Germans assisted by sympathizing
Americans, and it is believed this plot
is responsible for recent accident"
to lake shipping.

what might be called conventional
lines-that is, improvement on stand
ard designs, and no good results had
been obtained from any departure
from that standard. To his mind i'm
provements in engines were response
bic for present-day performances to a
far greater extent than improvement
in machines.
He said the most marked develop
ment in the modern machine is its
capacity for climbing. At the begin
ming of the war, he said, the average
height flown on active service was
1000 to 5000 feet. Today a height
of 10000 feet is reached and if pro-
gress continues heights great deal
beyond this figure will be reached as
as usual thing.

Russians in Galicia Came Back

The offensive of the Russians is be-
ing successfully pushed Even the
Germans in an official statement adj
NIT that the Russians have broken
forward across the heights on the
western bank of the Stripa in Galicia
and succeeded in extending northward
the gap in the Teuton lines made the
previous day. Advices to the Russian
government say the movement is pro
crossing fayorably. Costly though the
attack was to the Russian personnel,
the taking of 10000 prisoners on a
comparatively narrow sector shows
how disastrous it must have been to
the enemy. The question Of whether
the drive could be continued remains
unanswered but conditions today are
encouraging. The Russians are press
ing toward Zlechoff, thirty-five miles
east of Lemberg.

If those who feel able to do so will
kindly make the four monthly install

Letter from Mr.. Lunk
Nh. Chas. S. Cullen, War Fund Cam
paign, American Red Cross,
Ocala, Fla.
My dear Mr.. Cullen: The call to
the South for Red Cross war fund
has been generously answered. Men
and women of every nationality and
station in life have alike contributed
to make this success. The war coun-
Gil cannot directly express apprecia-
tion to every person who has render
ed service in this great movement,
but the success of the campaign
would be incomplete were we to fail
to convey personally our regard for
the splendid service rendered by the
men and women of Ocala and Marion
county.
The tangible results accruing from
this campaign, great as they are, will
be less than the intangible benefits,
just as the material gifts are small
in comparison with the giving of self.
1t is the spirit of an army that wins
battles and the spirit of our citizens
is what will determine our country's
future.
Again assuring you of our appre-
citation, remain,
Very cordially yours,
w. r. Lunk,
Secretary for War Council.
