the appellate court of New York has defined it as the whole number of CITIZENS of a country.
 There may be in which it would be proper and useful and necessary to include aliens in an enumeration, say in the matter of fixing direct taxation in any matter in which aliens are con- cerned In other it would have effect at all in fixing the quotas the inclusion of aliens in any estimate actual count necessarily has an adverse effect on the remaining part the population, since aliens be made help fill the quota whose size has been determined in part by including them in an estimate enumeration of all the people Such an enumeration of the aliens is responsible for nearly 1000 of Airzona's quota.

Phoenix

There is other town of its size in the whole country much and so favorably in the public eye Phoenix People in all parts of the country are asking about Phoenix. When a resident of Phoenix registers hotel in almost any part of the country he is hunted down by people in quest of first hand information about of which they have heard so much lately. The stories of the local cotton in- dustry largely responsible for the present prom thence of Phoenix, but it has been heard of in other equally favorable ways
 Strangers wonder if all they have been told of the cotton industry is true the the yield and the prices. It has sounded to them like fiction. But it has always turned out that they had not heard the whole story the best part of it.
 Strangers who come here well Phoenicans who have returned from tours of the country agree that there is air of prosperity here which they have missed elsewhere; that while in nearly all other places there is stagnaton which is attributed to war conditions, in Phoenix business is proceeding sats- factorily Nearly all merchants here that their business for August, the dullest month in the year usually it better than and all looking forward hopefully to prosperous fall.
 We believe that in view of all these things we shall have large influx of visitors, at least temporary residents, and will have place for them. Though great deal of building is going perhaps the average number of residences under construc- tion, it is difficult this early in the season. good house. In fact it has been difficult at any time this year Unless can accommodate those who within the next three four months many will go to the coast towns where houses are begging and most of them will not come back again.

 TEMPE, Arlz., Aug. 24-Attention of the people of Tempe is again called to the fact that Maricopa county is to have an exhibit of the countys re- sources at the Peoria International Soils Products Exposition to be held in September, at Peoria, III. It is es- sential that the people of Tempe and able collection of products of the valley.
 A good collection reflects credit not only upon the person making the dis play but upon the county and state from which the display is taken. No state in the union can get together as much of variety or as perfect a dis play as the Salt River valley, and Tempe in particular. These displays are drawing card to the exposition visitors for those who have a desire to investigate the advantages of this country, and that is what any com munity needs. People who are really interested in the industrial advantages of a country
 The products most needed for local exhibit are grains of the many varieties also grain sOrghums threshed grains of all kinds, in fact any product which can be made into an attractive sheath. Information concerning quail ity and sizes may be had at the Tempe canal office or products may be left there for collection.

Inconsistent Quota Fixing

Representative Carl Hayden has addressed letter to the war department designed to lead to tion of the methods by which for the national army have been assigned to the different states. All this seems to have been gone about in inconsistent not to say haphazard manner AS has been men, tioned for the of Arzonas quota this was given an estimated population of 4O9,OOO while New Mexico given estimate of 354,OOO. Yet shortly before that in the apportionng of candidates for the officers training camps, the old basis used. with the result that New Mexico was given larger number of candidates than Arizona.
 In his letter to the secretary of war Mir Hayden finds that the had before resorted to estimates that in all it had relied either upon the official figures of census or a special enumeration.
 There was a so-called census bureau estimate in 1915 but that made the basis of finding the quota, at least far New Mexico and Arizona A still later estimate arrived at how do not know. In fixing the apportionment of candidates for the training camps the government used the census of 191O This arrangement gave to the southern benefit their comparative populations in 1910. But the estimated population basis cut them all down with the exception of the state of Florida. below the 1910 census and conse- quenty gave them low quotas of drafted men, though they had been given high quotas of candidates for the training camps
 MT. Hayden attacks chiefly the estimate basis as something unauthorized and unprecedented. Another point that might have been raised against the gov ernments basis for the quotas is that is in dsre- gard of the only definition the word "popuation" that has been given. No court has ever defined the word Webster defines it as the whole number of people inhabitants of country. But

MESA, Aug. 24.-MaX J. Ritterrath, a Mesa rancher, is somewhat lndlS- nant over a report which has come to him and which he declares is en- tirely false. The report was that he had said that if drafted he would go to jail rather than serve in the army. His name came early in the list, and upon examination and ac- ceptance by the physicians Ritterrath filed claim for exemption on the ground of dependents.
 Ritterrath formerly was an officer | in the German navy, and since the war started and before America en- tered into the struggle he was out spoken in his sympathies for Germany as against the allies.
 Ritterrath's answer to the rumor is that if he is not exempted he will go to the front and do his duty. He ! has taken out his first citizenship l papers and states that however much | he regrets having to fight against
 armies in which he might come into actual contact with his former coun-
 try, that he will 80 where he is sent and feel in so doing that his allegiance

The Despised Penny

The copper cent is coming into it's all over the country. It has always been highly esteemed in long settled communities but the frontier it has ever been held in dsrepute. In the early days in Cali forna the lowest unit of monetary value the dollar We think it Mark Twain, in "Roughing It." who first called attention to the decreasing value of money journeyed westward As west Missouri the penny recognized, but west of the Missouri river there five-cent from which one passed into the ten-cent zone, thence into twenty-five and to the dollar
 It is within the memory of many residents of Phoenix that the dime the smallest unit of value People to whom dimes nfrequent and uncer tain joined in the dersion against smaller monetary units. drink a shave cost bits because barbers and bartenders busy to make change The man who introduced fivecent beer was believed to have aimed at the financial undermining of the community The penny all this time rare than Chinese coins. The latter curios; the penny disgrace It taboo the local postoffice Change made stamps if all
 The time has come though, when the penny must have it's place in financial transactions only here but all over the country Prices of all commodities mounting. If they increased five at time in multiples of nickel we could still get along without the penny but they do If, say. the in- crease is cent, the retail dealer cannot pass the exact increase along the without adding four more cents If the increase is six the toner must pay ten cents more However small large the increase may be the customer must pay for the retailer be expected suffer dimnu- tion of his profits, which we must assume to have been only reasonable.
 Increases in freight rates always add something sometimes infinitesimal the cost of every commodity carried, and that addition the cost must be met by the consumer The retail dealer we may would be content to recoup himself for the additional cost by charging that much and no to the customer. But he cannot do that if the monetary unit is five cents.
 In the course of year it makes a considerable difference to the if he has paid five cents more on each of great many purchases. We many articles priced this One for 15 cents; 25." We think that the lower rate for two is made only because of the larger transaction The explanation must be that the lowest price at which the article be sold profit satisfactory to the retailer is 124 cents. He charges 15 only cause that is the smallest in which payment can be made So here the purchaser sacrifices cents
 Some of the merchants in Phoenix have already introduced the penny and think it will not be long before the will have so. prices were sta- tionary it would make much difference; nor for a psychological reason would it make much difference if prices declining But it will not be long until every penny in the country will be tial part of the dollar.
