BILL WOULD BAR RELATIVES FROM
 ALL PUBLIC JOBS
(By Review Leased Wirel

PHOENIX. Jan. 30.-If the Roberts bill against the appointment of rela- tives to office becomes a law as 1t was almost unanimously amended by the Senate today, citizens of Arizona who have relatives in office either elective or appointiVe will be barred from ap- pointment to public positions. The bill originally prohibited the appoint gree of consanguinity or the second degree of affinity. But the committee of the whole of the Senate took notice Of that fact that many office holders at present have exchanged courtesies in the appointment of their relatives to clerkships.
 The amendment provides in addi- tion that one is not eligible to appoint ment to any office in the state, county or municipality if he has a relative municipality who enjoys the appoint ing power A list of the offices to be brought under the rule includes all the state officials. commissions. jus tices of the supreme court. all county officials and all city officials. School trustees alone are exempt. This amendment was adopted by the vote of all the senators but two. The bill would become operative January l, 1919.

U. 5. STEEL l916 EARNS THIRD
 OF BILLION
New Prosperity Mark Reach ed By Billion Dollar Corpo- ration, With Fat Dividends for Stockholders.
(By Review Leased Wire. )

NEW YORK, Jan. 30-All previous prosperity" records in the history of the United States Steel Corporation were surpassed today when the direc- tors declared an extra dividend of l 3-4 per cent on the common stock, together with the regular quarterly disbursement of l 1-4 per cent for the fourth quarter of 1916, and issued a statement of earnings for the same period exceeding by far all similar eX- hibits of past years, as well as more than fulfilling the. most optimistic forecasts.
 The earnings for the quarter. amounting to s105 5,96S,347, brought the years total earnings to S333, ,625, ,0S6. which more than doubled those of 1907 which, showing earnings of $160,- 964,674, stood as the record year until the close of 1916.
 The total earnings for the quarter covered in today's statement compare with the total of sS5,S17 OCT for the third quarter of 1916, a sum which then constituted a record.
 The total 1916 earnings compare with s140,25O,066 in 1915.
 With coday's extra disbursement. the total dividends on the common shares for 1916 amount to 3-4 per cent. The extra common disburse- ment calls for an outlay of sS.S95, ,294. This makes the total dividend dis bursement for the fourth quarter. in- cluding the regular l 1-4 per cent com mon dividend and the usual l 3-4 per cent on the preferred stock, amount ro s21, ,533,996. Some surprise was ex- pressed in financial quarters because the directors did not declare a larger dividend return in the face of the enormous earnings of the fourth quar- ter.
 Analysis of this financial period shows that the corporation was not materially handicapped by the short age of coal and cars and labor.

 For many weeks past the evidence has all flowed in that direction. We have heard from many sources of food riots in the enemy's country, of crowds of people waiting outside the shops to obtain food. It seems estab- lished beyond all question that the enemy has little wool and less cotton and is making clothes and boots of paper. We have evidence of the eX- treme state of things now existing in Germany as well as in Austria"
