ceived victory because they put
their best into the contest for
right.-H. B. Wilkinson, Phoenix
Title & Trust Company.
War has driven home to the
people the uncertainty of life and
property. 1t has shown them that
no life no home, no property is
absolutely safe or beyond the
reach of disaster. Our government
has become the largest insurance
agency in the world and for the
reason that it has by this victory
insured the peace and happiness of
the world.-Carl H. Anderson, In
surance.
To those who have done the best
theyscould to back up the boys at
the front, this great victory comes
as an occasion for real rejoicing.
They know that they did their best
to contribute to the victory, and so
they can eagerly await the return
of the boys, knowing that they can
stretch out the right hand of fell
lowship, backed up by sincerity
and honest work at home. To them
it is a real victory.-Daye Gold
berg, of Goldberg Bros.
We have had a phenomenal vic
tory upon the field of battle and
smaller victories all along the line,
at home and abroad. 1t was a big
victory for nation WHICH took
most of its designing from Europe,
to- develop it sown arts in this di-
rection, and that is what America
has done. From being a depen-
dent nation, we are now able to
do for ourselves those necessary
things We formerly allowed others
to do for US. These victories are
only second to the wonderful one
won in F'rance.-Walter Switzer,
of SwitZer's Style Shop.
We have all been cheering for
victory, and it was some victory
to cheer for. When the boys come
home again, we will be able to
show them how much we appreci-
ate their work overseas and on
the seas. We have something TO
be proud of. We are all glad the
war is ended and ended right. and
if we profit by the things We have
learned, we will receive the benefit
we deserve for a job well finished

THE GERMAN INDEMNITY

The questions of League of Ma
tions and the freedom of the seas
have a relation to far-reaching con-
troll over the worlds commerce, and
American business men are vitality in
terested in these matters, though in
a somewhat remote and general way.
The question of German indemnity,
however, is of immediate interest. 1t
is estimated according to different
bases of calculation, that Germany
owes France, Belgium and Serbia for
property destroyed and other Allies
for ships and various other losses,
anywhere from six to ten billion dol
lars. Shall Germany pay this indem-
nifty in money? Is it fair that the
indemnity should be settled by mere
money payment? Germany's indus
trial organizations remain intact
Some of the most important manu-
featuring districts of France and Bel
GUM have been devastated. The bust
ness concerns and populations of these
districts cannot resume competition IN
the worlds markets on a fair basis
with Germany within possibly SIX
months or a year. Is it fair that Ger
many should have a free hand to en-
ploy her factories and labor in re-
/ covering her world trade, while the
/ industries of the Allies lie PROSTATE.
Would it not be just demand that a
part of the German army-officers
and men-should be employed in re-
building all the property destroyed
during the German invasion, that Ger
many should return all the machiners
she has carried away. and in addition
take from her own factories enough
machinery to enable the French anC
Belgian industrial plants to resume
immediate activity?
In case the work of restoration car
be advantageously done with allied
labor, materials and machinery, O
course it might be desirable to emplo,
them with German indemnity money
There may be a surplus of laborin'
population in France and Italy which
will need employment so that it will
not be desirable to compel the wanda
to restore with his own hands tn
property he has destroyed. Like othe
reconstruction problems. this question
is complicated one; but peace term
should require German labor to re
pair propertv destroyed where such {
|, policy will benefit industry and no
adversely affect employment condi
tons in the Allied nations.
Arizona republican., 1918-11-22

In England and the United States
taxes during 1918 have been four times
the ordinary peace revenues before the
war, and both countries have been able
to pay the entire interest on their war
debt with a surplus to spare. They
have been able to do this because their
countries are democratic and the peo-
pie are willing to pay. In Germany,
however, the wealthy and the mobiles
refused to tax themselves. The re-
suit was that the German war taxes
in excess of peace requirements dur
ing the past year We're not enough tc
pay one-third of the interest on the
war debt. 1t. was obvious that Ger
many would have to tax her people
more heavily after the war unless in
IDENTITIES could be imposed upon other
countries. That is why the kaiser sac
rificed a million German soldiers dur
ing the last nine months of the con-
flict in a reckless attempt to gain vic
tory.

terry Ignition CO.
War brought realization to
many people that food is an essen
tial element which is vital in win
ming victory. Americans have been
taught to realize that all they eat
is not really valuable as food, and
they have learned that among all
food products, milk, good pure milk
and the food articles made from
milk are among the best food val
ues in the world.-Dudley Web
ster, Maricopa Creamery.

The homes which had music in
the house to help celebrate victory
were the happiest ones. There is
nothing like music TO help cele-
brate a victory. The outlook for
an extraordinary demand for some
musical instrument upon which to
find expression of inward satisfac-
ton with things as they are was
never brighter.-A. r. Taverner,
Taverner Music Co.
With victory comes the certain
knowledge that those who bought
Liberty bonds made the very safest
investment in the world. They had
an unusual opportunity and they
took it, combining patriotism with
sound business judgment. Many
family has been started on the road
to prosperity by enforced savings
to buy Liberty bonds, a good habit
once formed which brings results.

Business following the great vic
torious campaign on the field of

been the experience in all countries
following big wars. The products
of the Salt River valley must of
necessity be in great demand if
America is to feed the world. We
have moved to larger quarters in
anticipation of this growing bust
ness.-J. B. Bayless of Bayless

The government is planning a gener-
al Wage Adjustment Board, which,
with the cooperation of the labor I'M
ions and manufacturers, together with
judicious method of making dec1-
sions regarding the fixing of wages
in relation to the cost of living, may
be able to settle disputes without ruin
Gus strikes Maximum production win
be necessary if maximum earnings are
to be realized.
Arizona republican., 1918-11-22

The labor question is tied up init
plately with the food question. If the
food supply is not normal and the cost
of living remains high, wages cannot
be reduced without serious industrial
disputes. The government as a pub
lie duty must provide every soldier
with a job, and if the supply of labor
increases more rapidly than the cost
of food declines. an embarrassing sit
uation will result.
