Friday, April 9th, Arbor Day

Governor Campbell has set aside by proclamation, Friday, April 9th as Arbor day, and urges "that suitable exercises be carried out in all the public schools and other seats of learn ing, and that the children of Arizona and their elders join alike on this day as above des- ignated for the purpose of transplanting to public grounds and along common highways and thorofares such trees, shrubs and vines as may be best adapted to the respective local ities."
 Have you ordered your trees for planting on or near the day designated? The way the trees that have been set out in form CT years have thriven, to gether with the beauty which they have added to the town should be sufficient to convince all of the value such trees are to the community. A great many trees were set out last year and a very large percent of them lived. It is to be hoped that an even larger number will be added this year.

Whether there really are a number of German ships in the Gulf of California this paper does not know but it must in- sist that if they are there it would be a serious blunder to let them escape to sea. If we are not at war with Germany, war is imminent enough to jus tify us in taking these ships over, if they try to escape.

The efforts to raise fruit in a country are apt to be dis couraging, but some kinds of fruit grow naturally in every country and persistence in fruit cultivation will be rewarded. Fruit can be grown in this country and it is the duty of every one who can to put out something this spring and help solve the problem of fruit growing in Williams. Don't put it off, but place an order for some kind of fruit trees, bushes or vines.

The railroads may need an advance in rates as they say but we shall not take their word for it. A record for square dealing in the past would be a great help to the railroads at this juncture. Their contempt for popular rights and their de- clared policy of exacting all the traffic will bear will have to be lived down. Any claims they now make will be scrutinized with skepticism.

We are at a time in or history
 when it behooves us to take stock of patriotism. We should learn as speedily as possible who are for the United States first last and all the time and who feel that they owe allegi- ance first to some other coun- try. In order to accomplish this result this paper favors the or ganization of patriotic leagues in every community of our country. It is an important matter and should not be put off. Such action taken inn mediately will be a warning to those who would betray Amer ica in the interest of her enem- ies and check their traitorous activities. Failure to so organ ize will breed insurrection and make the task of defending our rights, both national and in dividual, vastly more difficult. A meeting for organization should be called in Williams at once.

tract With Pennsylvania Railroad

It is known that directors of Western
Union regard the resumption OF relations
with the Pennsylvania Lines as extremely
important It will give the company be-
tween 500 and 800 new additional offices
at once This is an increase in number OF
about 3 per cent Considering the fact that
the annual growth in new offices In recent
years has averaged under 100 thls 9oo
total in one slap is very considerable.
Further than that, the new contract af-
fords valuable entry into the great railroad
stations in New York, Philadelphia, Pitts
burgh and to other less important points
between the termini.
The renewal of relations with the Penn
sylyania was on strict business basis
The Western Union, in its contract, offers
named figures and conditions behind which
is was prepared to stand on a strict busi-
ness equation. This is apparently what the
Pennsylvania wanted and is perhaps the
most satisfactory single feature Of the new
relations

FIRST STREET LAMP
This City Said to Be the First in

Lighting

a man who loves to delve in history
walked through the brilliantly lighted
streets of city to the public library and
spent the evening reading the autobiography
of Benjamin Franklin. He was astounded
to find therein a description Of the first
street lamps to be used III Philadelphia, and
probably in this country.
Writing of the year 1857 Franklin says:
"It was by private person, the late Mr.
John Clifton, giving sample Of the utility
of lamps. placing one at his door, that the
people were first impressed with the idea
of lighting all the city. The honor of this
public benefit has also been ascribed to

NEW BILLION BOND
ISSUE Is POSSIBLE
Senate Finance Committee
Struggles With Deficit Due
to "Dry" Clause
PUSH WORK ON FOOD BILL
Senator Chamberlain Holds Clio
sure Club, but Measure May
Not Pass This Week
WAsHINGToN. July ..

"AShlNGION, July y.
The Senate Finance Committee today be-
gan wrestling with the perplexing problem
Of finding $420 100000 to meet the war
revenue deficit caused when the Senate
voted Saturday to commander all the
whisky in bond. Complete redrafting OF
the Sl,670000,000 war revenue bill may be
necessary.
The committee had before II these three
plans for raising the money to meet the
deficit
Authorize a bond issue Of $4,000 600.
Boost the income and excess profits taxes
still higher
Place levies upon heretofore untaxed
articles and commodities.
II is likely that a combination Of the last
two plans will be adopted.
In addition to the S420, 900 900 current
revenue deficit, the Treasury Department.
must find 5000. 900 900 somewhere to pay
for the two hundred odd million gallons
OF whisky now in bond in the United States
The department has already figured that the
$l67O,000,000 estimated yield of the new
revenue bill will be 5000, 900 900 to $780,
100000 short of next years needs, and II II
probable that II will be forced to add to this
the $500. .O00, 900 booze bill and ask Congress
to authorize another big bond issue of at
least another billion dollars before II adj
iourns
With the prohibition issue out Of the
way temporarily at least. Senate leaders
To-Day were prepared TO use every parlia-
mentary expedient to force the food control
bill of which the dry" provisions are a
part, to a vote before the end Of the week.
The Administration is growing impatient
with the delay in passing the bill. The
President wanted the measure passed by
July 1. II has already been under consider
alton three weeks and indications are that
the Administration will be lucky to get tho
bill by August /.
Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the
measure, still had the closure club in bis
hands today. Whether he makes use OF II
will depend upon the temper Of the Senate
when he asks unanimous consent to vote
on the bill later in the week.
Hard fighting is promised over the section
forbdding voluntary agents Of the Govern
ment, such as members of the advisory
committees Of the National Defense Coun-
ci from purchasing supplies from concerns
in which they are financially interested.
President Wilson, expressing the fear that
the section will disorganize the newly
created purchasing system and put the Gov
ernment under serious handicaps In obtain
ing supplies, has asked for modification
of the section but there is a strong senti-
ment for its retention in the Senate.
