The Sea, the Sea, the Beautiful Sea

Count von Reventlow, speaking for the German admiralty that it takes 26 days fer liners 10 go from New York to European ports. To those who found five six days long enough sea, this picture of the possibility for nal de appalling.
 All of this is a reminder that there other seas than the Atlantic and most of them quite safe for travel There also other spots, in times of peace, than Europe in which to enjoy vacation. There are other ruins than thoseN of Rome which bring the pages Of history with them from dim and distant past.
 If there is a beautiful land vacation visit than Arizona this time of year. it is unknown, while to the student of archaeology, the romantic homes of long since lost history abound in profusion not found anywhere else in the world
 Arizona is scarcely doing her duty in the study and preservation of these ruins. If they were in Europe, tourists would study them in their wonder full settings, marvel their construction and ex- patiate upon their meaning to modern man. There very good reason why they could not be made great attraction visitors in this state the apparent that it is not being done this year.

The Shadow in the Stream

The late Mir Aesop, the Greek fabulist, told the story of the dog which crossed d bridge over stream of water The dog carried in his mouth piece If meat. Looking the edge of the bridge he his reflection in the water and misook it for another dog. He noticed that the other dog had a seemingly larger piece of in it's mouth than he was holding, and he dropped his substan- tial piece to jump after the mirrored one.
 Complaint has been frequently made of late that some of the landlords of this city giving to permanent residents who are renting homes Of them by the month, that the surrender of these homes is demanded It is charged that these notices inspired by a desire to rent the houses at much higher rental tourist visitors who will be here for the winter.
 It to that the landlord who would do this is jumping at the meat mrrored in the stream rather than stick to the substantial already possessed. Our permanent residents really the meat" of the earth and little of the salt which should go with the meat-a sort of salt of the Salt River Valley, it To turn them out seems to shortsighted for permanent tenant is really worth to the landlord than the tourist
 Tourists especially welcome in the Salt River Valley, for there is fine that the tourist of today wilt be the resident of tomorrow but owe

a duty to home folk well to visitor It is sorry greeting at best the city has to offer in the way of residences for rent, for vacant houses almost in Phoenix just now as snow, and to people who live out on the street to undergo the discouraging hunt for that which does exist is not brotherly act if for a few months, the financial reward may be greater.
 This complaint, frequently made to The Repub- lcan and to some of the civic organizations, is a further indication that houses must be built in this rapidly growing city To properly house the people, visitors and permanent residents alike, is something which must be done, and a campaign for homes for the homeless would come amiss at this time.

A Good Wife is Beyond Price

One of the most delicate tasks the government has undertaken is F,. in arounl about way fix the Trce of wives for taxation purposes In the new tax measure wife saves her husband exactly $40 q year if his income is $S,OOo annually That is to say, after the income becomes $410G a year. the tax is $40 if marrled, and $50 if single
 There is ID income the income of s1OaO and under whether the man be single CT married With an income of $2,0O0 year. the single man com mences to pay at the minimum income to be taxed the annual contribution being $2O. When the in- come is s3,OOO year, both married and single pay but the married is let off with a tax of SEQ while his single brother pays for the privilege of be- ing homeless wanderer on the face of the earth, to the tune of $40 per At s4,OOO, the tax is respectively $40 and $50 for the married man and the single wretch.
 Those burdened with incomes of ten million dol lars punge right literally to the cause of democracy, for the bill for the married man is not less than $6490 43O while the single miscreant with an income of ten million is let off $40 higher However, only one or two of us in this valley will be affected by this concluding regulation the long list of income taxes
 An income of a mere million only contributes about $475000 to the government and this news is causing no end of worry up and down the state It is ex- pected that in the two highest elasses-hghest that is in point of incomea long fine will be formed in front of the federal building by those who must make declaration of their resources. Arizonians with incomes of a million or ten million year are urged not to shove while standing in line
 Really the income contribution, save for the largest fortunes which, being entirely dependent upon the success of the war should contribute lib eraly, is not excessive and there undoubtedly many who would cheerfuly give up the $64sO,4sO for the privilege of keeping the balance the ten million even if for single year.
 Any happily married man. however, will de- nounce the governments appraisement of a wifes value while the single may be as to say that his penalty is cheap enough"
