The information is given out
by Secretary Baker that the war
department will not call out the
first 100000 men under the new
conscription law until Sept. 1st,
because of the present depleted
state of supplies, and there will
be no appreciable interference
with the labor supply of the
country until that date.

Under the selective conscrip-
tion it is estimated that 10000
men will be registered in Ariz-
ona, from which number about
1900 men will be drawn at this
time as the states quota for the

not include the membership in
the 1st Arizona Regiment, which
will be recruited by voluntary
enlistment to full war strength.

Theodore Roosevelt will not be
permitted to raise an army of 80,
900 men to go to France to aid in
the war. President Wilson, for
reasons only known to himself,
refused to avail himself of Roose-
velt's offer to raise a volunteer
army of men over the conscrip-
ton age. Perhaps the conscrip-
ton bill was for the purpose OF
raising an army of young men tc
be the privates and do the fight
ing, and the men are to be Of
fcered by favorites Of the ad-
ministration and the war council;
and permitting Roosevelt to get
in with a volunteer force, might
disarrange their plans. Il
France needs soldiers to help her
in the fight what difference does
it make whether they are the
young men conscripted into the
service, or volunteer force OF
older men? There is something
radically wrong with this war
situation when Roosevelt can
raise a volunteer army as large
as the government can raise by
conscription, and it is time pol
itics was taken out of the ques-

The Los Angeles Examiner
wants to suppress the manufac-
ture of whiskey, and let the peo-
pie have wine and beer as the
proper solution of the prohibition
question. California manufac-
lures wine and beer. If the Ex-
aminer was published in Ken
lucky, the home of good old bour-
bon whiskey, it probably would
advocate the use of Whiskey and
the suppression of wines and
beer. There was a time a num-
Der of years ago when beer was
brewed from hops and barley, and
properly aged, that had some
nourishing value, but to-day it is
made from rice flour and corn
meal grits, artificially aged, and
immediately put on the market,
as rank a poison as the worst rot
gut whiskey. The adulteration
of beer made possible the accum-
ulation of the millions by the
brewery interests in the last
quarter of a century. Brewers
have no regard for the health of
the nation; they are manufacture
ing the rotton swill for the mon
ey in sight. The editor is not a
prohibitionist, and he has con-
tributed liberal toward buying
automobiles for the brewers and
distillers, and his complaint on
the quality of present day liquors
and beers is from an epicure.

The Corporation Commission
of Arizona is sending out a circu-
lar letter to the public warning it
not to have any dealings with any
alleged stock or bond salesman
unless he presents a certificate
issued by the commission show
ing that the company or corpora
tion has been granted permission
to sell it's stock. Unless he has
such permit he is violating the
law, and the chances are he is a
fraud. So far we endorse the
work of the commission, but
when they recite that they in
vestigate every company or cor
poration before granting a per-
NIT to sell stock and bonds, to
enforce the "blue sky" law we
look askance. Corporations have
been granted permits to sell stock
and bonds in this state, under a
permit from the commission, that
did not have a single dollar of
tangible assets in sight at the
time they were granted permis-
sion to go out and unload their
stocks and bonds on the confiding
public. Does the power of the
commission to enforce the blue
sky" law just extend to collect
ing the legal fee for the permit,
just as a dog license is issued
without inquiring about the kind
of dog? Personally we would
just as soon be buncoed by cor
poration that had no permit as
to be legally buncoed by cor
poration that had a permit, with
nothing else on which to base its
stock and bond issues. If we
read the law understandingly, it
SAYS the commission must salts
fly itself that the company or
corporation is solvent, and prom
ises a fair return upon it's stock,
bonds or other securities it offers
the public, before it issues a per-
NIT for their sale, and if neces-
sary to satisfy themselves they
can make a thorough examina-
ton of the affairs of the COM
pany at the company's expense.
Sitting around in big leather up
holstered chairs, having a $75
clerk issue permits to all com ers
who can pay the fee required,
while the commission is putting
in it's time framing up political
! jobs and drawing down their
$4,000 a year salaries, can hardly
| be termed enforcing the law.
| The corporation commission as a
protector of the interests of the
people is a joke, and it's creation
was for the sole and only pur-
pose of providing soft jobs for
politicians, and metamorphosing
the public into believing their
rights were being protected.

The Department of Agriculture
is continually urging people to
refrain from making purchases

= Col. Breen, of the Cocopino
Sun, who is also colonel of the
Flagstaff home guards, is out in
a circular letter suggesting some
uniform organization of all the
guards in the state. If the home
guards are to render any effec-
tive service in case of need it is
essential there should be con-
trolling head just the same as in
the regular army, and there
ought to be regular army units
of companies and regiments, full
ly officered. Perhaps two full
regiments. of home guards could
be formed in the state-one in
the north and one in the south
in which event brigade officers
should be chosen to command.
Col. Breen's suggestions seem
practical, but he wants to hear
from others in the state who are
interested in the home guard or
ganizations, and he suggests they
communicate with Forest Super
visor ]. D. Guthrie, of Flagstaff,
who has consented to handle all
correspondence as acting adju-
tant.
