 It is true that such crimes do not shock us they did at first New manifestations of Prussian frighful- fail the old horror and indignation We have almost lost capacity for the oubursts of blazing anger which formerly denounced the cruelties and crimes of the German government But Secretary Baker need conclude that the nation is therefore indifferent.
 There is the anger finds quick in denuncia- ton and there the that burns white and steady in souls animating all their conduct and awaiting the day of vengeance this steady white glow of wrath that is deadly the offender. And such wrath exists today in the heart of the nation.

THE STATE INCOME FROM LAND IS
 OVER S132,OOO
Leasing of State Land Is Pro- ducing Large Amount of Revenue To Treasury And Will Be Increased.

More than S132,OOO is the annual in- come at present ot Arizona from her public lands which are leased to pri- vate parties. Since the creation of the selecting and leasing division of the state land office. of which division Ben R. Clark is chief, there has been se- lected from AriZona's broad eXpanse of mountain and plan some 2,653,000 acres.
 Previously this land was open do- main and could be used by anyone without permission or payment, and was ranged at large by cattle and sheep. Since the selection of nearly 100000 acres as public land, now ever, it is necessary for parties pre- yiously using this land or by others, to secure a lease from the state land de- partment There is no buster depart ment in the state house than this one, and through the business transacted there, the state derives an income of large proportions and one that is in creasing at the rate of S20,000 a month.
 No single lease of state land is made aor more than $40 acres. but since the organization of this department about two years ago there have been 11,O91 applications received for leases of state land. of which 6,164 have been executed to private parties.
 Arizona now collects a minimum of three cents an acre for leases on 1.lO4.- 900 acres of school lands and 1,740,00O acres of institutional lands, total of 2,S44,OOO acres under lease which brings an annual revenue of S92,000 Some idea of the magnitude of the business transacted by this division is contained in the report just made by MT. Clark to William A Moeur, state land commissioner. which shows that new leases for state lands are being closed at the rate of about 1000 each month.
 In addition to the revenue of $92,000 annually for 2,S44.0O0 acres of state and institutional lands under lease.  there are other school sections located in the forest reserves for which leases the government collects and turns over to the state. These amount to s4O.000 year at present, making a total revenue of $132.000.
 During the month of May, just past. the selection and leasing department collected in leases and fees the sum Of $10.91S The whole revenue last month of the state land office was about s65,O0O. When the state lands are all selected the leasing department will be called upon to administer some 10.- an annual revenue many times in eX- cess of the present one.

GOVERNMENT OFFERED
 COAL AT FAIR PRICES
 BY 400 BIG OPERATORS
Special Committees To Confer With Defense Council To Stimulate Production; Inn mediate Necessity of Care Shown.
tBy Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Four hundred coal operators representing the great fields of both bituminous and anthracite. pledged themselves here today to sell their product at a fair and reasonable price, to be fixed, with the approval of the defense councils coal committee. by special committees of seven producers from each coal mining state.
 These special committees are also 0 confer with the defense councils com mittee 'to the end that production be stimulated and plans be perfected to provide adequate means of distribu- tion."
 The operators action is the result of an all-day conference which opened with addresses by Secretaries Lane and Daniels, John T. Fort, of the fed eral trade commission, and Assistant Attorney General Lewis, all of whom frankly warned the producers that un- less they established fair selling price and proper regulation of the in- dustry, their output would be taken over by the government.
 Car Shortage Blamed.
 Both at the operators meeting and before the committee the solution of the greater production problem was de- clared to be more railroad cars. Car shortage was blamed for restricting the output of mines everywhere.
 Sessions of the operators will be con tinued tomorrow. One of the things to be considered is a motion declaring that it is the sense of this meeting that they earnestly request every op- orator in the United States to join a coal operations association of his state where there is no such associa- tion to take immediate steps to or ganize one, so that reliable and accu- rate information regarding the coal in dustry can be furnished to the govern ment whenever called for"
 Representatives of each coal produc- ing state held meetings tonight to choose committees in accordance with the resolutions adopted and will re- port tomorrow
 Miners Obstreperous.
 James Lewis. Of Springfield, H.. rep resenting the United Mine Workers of America. told the senate committee that the miners union did not believe that the time had come for the gov ernment to take control of the coal in- dustry. He said the miners believe questions of wages and working condi- tions can best be worked out by rep resentatives of the miners and opera tors rather than through the govern ment arbitration affecting wages and other conditions.
 Harry N. Taylor. of Kansas City, representing coal operators in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas, said statistics for production Tor June throughout the country will show 10.- 100000 or 12.OOO.00O tons over year ago.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Amazing
figures as to the number of parts and
amount of material entering into con-
struction of an airplane have been
assembled by army aviation officials
in an effort to simplify construction
as a. means Of fastening production.
While the present program cannot be
delayed for the result OF this investi-

be found later to reduce the number
of parts and kinds of material now
needed.
Exclusive Of the engine there are
hundreds of parts in the structure of
an airplane and even when built up
sections Of the frame are regarded as
single parts, there remain nearly 200
