FOR CONCRETE SHIPS
Congress Urged to Appropriate Large
Sum for Experiments.

Chicago, April 12.-Delegates to
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States prepared a resolution
today urging congress to appropriate
100000 for a series of experiments
in concrete ship building. This action
followed an address by Leslie Comyn,
of San Francisco, who financed the
building of the big cement ship

Comyn visualized for his audience
a concrete bridge of ships over the
Atlantic, the links of which could be
replaced more rapidly than the Hun
could destroy them.
The Faith said Comyn. cost half
million and that cost will be paid by

THE CIOTHING SCARCITY.

II was reported a few days ago
that the British mills are to manuIac-
t,re an order Of clothing for 2'ooo'-
600 American soldiers. This would
coon, 70 indicate that our clothing
mills are not able to carry on inc
regular work of production Tor tn9
civilian population and supply the
soldiers at the same time
In England they have got TO tne
noint where no cloth is henceforth
70 he made for civilian use except
under hermit. Shall we come to
the same drastic regulation?
Items like these raise the question
whether clothing is to be as snort
with MS as food has been. We have
to a considerable extent met the 1000
scarcity bv the effort to increase crop
acreage and enlist boy and other Ia
bor Rut the raw materials of cloth
ing can not so easily be produced
in large abundance. 1t takes time 10
grow wool from sheep, and our hooks
are depleted. If we attempt to raise
more cotton. we cut down the acreage
of food stuffs.
IF will take an enormous amount
of clothing to provide everything
needed for our great army of fight
ers Their various uniforms will
wear out quickly under the condi-
tons of trench fighting. A great
manv mills now making civilian
clothes will have to handle wa-
work.
Facts like these suggest that we
are approaching a period Of shortage
in clothing fabrics such as the world
has never seen before. People will
be less ashamed of wearing old
clothes, for the prices for new may
reach prohibitive points.
It looks like good policy to stock
I'm with what we need in the cloth,
ing line. as we don't just know what
ia coming. The advertisements Of
clothing bargains in The Times rep
resent chances that will probably no
recur again while the war lasts. I
will be well for us all to get read,
for the period Of shortage and higf
prices that seems inevitable.

IT WON'T WORK
IN THIS STATE

There are some states besides Ari-
zona in the union where the death
penalty is not inflicted, says the Tue
son Citizen. In some of these states
it is claimed that the aboIishinq of
capital punishment has had a ten
dency to lessen the crimes for which
the death penalty was formerly in
fiicted. This may be true, and in or
der to avoid conflict on that point
it will be admitted. However true it
may be in Michigan or elsewhere, it
is not true in Arizona. In Arizona the
abolishing of capital punishment has
not had tendency to lessen the crime
of murder, but, on the other hand, has
had a decided tendency in the other
direction.
A few days ago the Citizen printed
figures from 13 of the IA counties of
the state Figures for Greenlee county
not being available at the time) COM
pairing the number of killings in the
state for the last 18 months when the
state had capital punishment for mur-
der and the first 1s months, ending
June 80, 1918, after capital punishment
had been abolished.
A comparison Of these figures shows
that since the death penalty was done
away with THE TAKING OF HU-
MAN LIFE IN ARIZONA HAS IN
cSREASED 1856 PER CENT. For the
last 1s months under capital punish
ment the number of killings in Arl-
zona was SO. During the first 1s
months without capital punishment
THIS NUMBER WAS INCREASED
TO IS.
Are the people satisfied with this
showing? We think not. At the earn
est solicitation of few well-meaning
people the voters of the state con-
sented to give it trial. After
year and a half it has been clearly
demonstrated that capital punishment
is necessary in Arizona, whatever may
be the case in some other states.
The voters will have a chance to re-
store capital punishment at the elec-
ton in November. The restoration of
the death penalty for the crime of
murder will go far towards restoring
the good name of the state and re-
spect for human life, which, without
this deterring influence, has become
altogether too cheap.

SOUTHERN ARIZONA FAIR
WILL BE "MILlTARlZED;"
TO SELECT DATES SOON

The 1918 Southern Arizona fair, to
be held Immediately before or after
the state fair, will be "a la militaire," /"
Sec. Herbert Drachman announces.
Just what military units will attend
the fair is not known. owing to the
fact that all military forces at present
are more or less mobile, but it is ex-
pected there will be some cavalry and
a band from either Fort Huachuca or
Nogales
Another feature this year will be
calf-tying, for which he prizes will
total $4,000. There will be a calf-tying
contest each day of the three-day pro-
gram and experts in that sportive vo-
cation are expected to be here from
all parts of the southwest.
The automobile racing events will
be limited to local participants. This
part of the program will be in charge
of Dick Harding, Jr, and Monte Mans
field.
The agricultural and horticultural
exhibits will be in charge of Ben
Johnson of the Tucson Farms COM
pany.
The directors of the Southern Ari-
zona Fair association will meet in a
few days to select the fair dates.

THE SILVER KINGS
NEW MILL ARRIVES

The new Marcy mill for Silver.
King Of Arizona arrived on Thursday
of this week, and the three carloads
of machinery are now being unloaded
at Magma station for transhipment to
the mine. The mill will be delivered
at the mine early next week, and will
be in operation before the end of the
month.
With eight cars of ore shipped to the
smelter, and with returns from the
first car amounting to over Sc 200, Sill
yer Kings is already in an enviable
position. The fact that the mill has
arrived, and will soon be operating
on 1000 tons of $25 ore, makes the
prospects for this producer look even
brighter. Silver King stock advanced
on the curb this week to GIG bid, pre-
vious quotations having been around

! in defense of the administration and
others have been heard on the hust-
ings loudly championing the aspira-
tions of the chief and his satellites.
By no means were these demands to
be brushed lightly aside.
And there stands the situation and
Candidate Golfer is sitting silently
and tremblingly awaiting the cue from
the big chief as to what his answer
shall be. And in the meantime the
campaign manager, the Hon. Leroy
Ladd from the obscurity of his inner
office in the commission of state in
stitutiops, continues to direct the cam
paign in the day time, while the cam
paign conferences are held at the Col
ter home at Central avenue and Nc
Kinley street in the evening.
Ladd's Big Blunder
Ladd is known to be the author of
the famous message to the special ses-
sion of the third legislature, which
was read by Governor Hunt and which
injected the l. w. w. question into
the deliberations of that body The
vituperation heaped upon many of the
best citizens of the state and the de-
the Bolsheviki of America, which
were contained in that message, colt
stitute the greatest blunder that has
been made by the Hunt administra-
ton, in the opinion of political observ-
ers both inside and outside the organ
ization.
Ladd, the author Of that message, is
now under fire in his own camp and
other lieutenants of the main mogul
are demanding his retirement
Camouffage with LowenthaI
One result of the demands, how
ever. has been to bring Secretary
Louis Lowenthal into more promi-
nence in connection with the manage
ment of the campaign. Lowenthal
succeeded Ladd as secretary to Gov
ernor Hunt when Ladd was elevated
to the commission from which the ad-
ministration found it necessary to re-
move the Objectionable Struckmeyer
after Homer Wood had resigned.
Now the administration moves Low
enthal, the pawn, again to the front
to protect the knight, and frequently
he is to be seen actively engaged at
the Golfer headquarters as though di-
recting the destinies of an empire
This is for appearance only. 1t is
known that Ladd retains the director
ship of the Golfer campaign and con-
tinues to put forth those gems of
thought that are appearing in the
press throughout the state by which
the public is informed of the deep
study of government that has been
made by the administration candidate.
