RECRUITING Of
WAR LABOR

Some intimation of the seriousness
of the shortage of labor in the United
States is gained from the fact that
the government has turned over to
the United States Employment Ser
vice the task of furnishing the war
industries of the nation with about
100000 workers during the next
twelve months.
In order to insure the presence OF
this vast industrial army at the
right places, the Employment Service
has been given complete control over
the nations labor supply. The dis
tribution and recruiting of war la
or from now will be in the hands Of
what is known as the Community
Labor Board, composed of represen-
tatiYes of the government, the en-
ployers and the employees of every
district. The personnel Of these
boards in Arizona will be announced
shortly.
The proposition that every employ,
er and employe in Arizona, and this
applies to ranching as we'll as to the
industries, Is that the U. s. Employ
ment Service is the place to go to
from now if you want workers or if
you want a job.
The supply Of laborers in the Uni
ted States is to be apportioned by
quotas among the various states. If
an employer fails to notify the near
est employment service Office of his
probable needs in workers for the
near future, he Is very apt to ind
himself without help when he will
need 1T the worst.
Taking over the recruiting and dis
tribution of labor by the Employment
Service was the result of a universal
desire throughout the country that
some central agency be entrusted
with the work. Labor turnOvers
have reached frightful proportion
in many sections of the country, and
it was to do away with the needless
and wasteful shifting of war work :
ers. from one plant to another that
the recruiting and distributing plan
was adopted.
Workers themselves are urged not
TO seek new fields of endeavor until
they have first sought the advice of
The officials of the nearest U. S. EN-
plOyment Service Office.
These offices in Arizona are located
at Phoenix, Flagstaff, Yuma. Pres
cott, Douglas, Globe and Tucson.
Uncle Sam has entered into a part
nership with the employers and en-
ployes Of the nation to produce the
materials to whip the Kaiser. For
these two classes of Americans the
nearest way to Berlin is through the
office of the u. S. Employment Ser
vice. Start now.

FRED T. Golfer FOR GOVERNOR

We are publishing below a letter
sent by Senator Fred T. Golfer to a
number of residents of this county
and which we think Is timely and
we'll worth the attention of our
readers:
''As 1 am familiar with some of
the natural conditions existing in
your particular part Of Arizona, l
write you this: Believing in every
thing that tends to the upbuilding
of Arizona and to the increase of her
natural resources, am, as my record
will show, warm advocate Of irriga-
ton and reclamation of arid lands.
My course as State Senator verif1es
this statement
THAT you may be better informed
as to some of the things | have done
along that particular line, l write
you an excerpt taken fom 'The
Observer" of St. Johns, Arizona, of
date February %, 1918
indicative Of what Senator Golfer
has done In a general way are the
specific items obtained from Apache
county. Among these can be men,
toned the appropriation of $10,500
or an experimental artesian we'll; the
$4,000 appropriated for the relief of
food sufferers through the breaking
Of the Lyman dam, and a special ap-
preparation of $4,000 for roads In
Apache county. The part this coun-
tvs we'll known legislator has taken
in good roads movements and high
way locations has been OF material
benefit to the country. At time
when suffrage for women was un-
popular, he introduced and fought
for this measure He also introduced
and fathered the Irrigation District
Bill which made possible the issu-
ance of bonds by farming communi-
ties to raise funds for the reclamation
Of arid lands. There are today a
number of such projects In successful
operation in Arizona as monuments
to his untiring zeal and devotion to
the welfare of the citizens of this
state"
with desire to further serve the
state and nations interest, and es-
pecially during this crisis through
which the country is passing; and
realizing the necessity for good poll
tics and its near relation to govern
ment, Is my chief incentive for en-
tering the race for Governor at the
coming democratic primaries

ARIZONA'S STATE TAX RATE.

Arizona state tax rate for the
1918-19 year will be 80 cents per
500 assessed valuation, the lowest
rate ever fixed by a state tax commits
sion in the history of statehood The
new rate represents a reduction of
about 27 per cent from that of last
year; which was 53 1a cents.
The total assessed valuation os the
state, according to final figures pre-
pared by the commission, Is 1884,
O2O, 1922, an increase of $136,493.-
912.54 over the assessed valuation in
1917 Increases were effected in all
counties as we'll as on practically all
properties over which the state COM
mission has Jurisdiction.
Reductions in all funds were made
by the tax commission to make pos
sible the low rate. The general and
school funds continue to receive the
largest apportionments, the former
levy being $.0SO18 and the latter
$,O9O34.
In effecting such big decrease,
members of the tax commission an
nounced that they felt that they were
acting in accordance with the wishes
of the United States government In
establishing such precedent in the
conservation of state financial re-
sources, they urge all county boards
of supervisors to act in strict har-
mOny with the plan.

NO EXTRA FARE
 AFTER TOMORROW

After December 1. it will not be necessary to pay extra fare to ride in Pullman car or a tourist car.
 Garnett King, general passenger agent of the E. P & s. w., received information Thursday from headquar- ters of the railway administration ad- vising him that effective December l, 1t will only be necessary to possess the regular railroad ticket and the Pullman ticket in order to ride in a Pullman. This charge has been eff fective since June 10 last.
 It was apparently put into effect to discourage travel in Pullman and tourist cars that these might be re- leased for the use of troops. Now that the troop movements have been largely discontinues, MT. King be- lieves the railroad administration is planning on encouraging the tourist business. He says it is already pick ing up to California
 The above information has been re- ceived from Mir. King at the stations of the E. P. & s. w. in the Warren district.

FINDS HOUSE.

Harry S. Ross, newly elected state treasurer. has returned to his home in Tombstone after spending a few days in Phoenix hunting house to rent for his family to live in. After quite a search he found suitable house that he thinks will be big enough for his family. In describing his difficulty in renting a place, Ross said that he believes Phoenix is a fine place to in- vest in property and build, as houses seem to be in such demand and the supply is small. At the recent election Ross carried every county in the state, making a splendid record. That he will make a good state treasurer is shown by his record during the past four years, in which he has been treasurer of Cochise county, handling large sums of money. He says that during the first half of 1918 tax col lections amounted to $2,0OO, ,000.- Phoenix Gazette.

 NEAR TO DEFEAT
ARIZONA MEASURE JUST SLIPS THROUGH WITH scANT MAJOR ITY OF 57o VOTES

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 29.-One Of the oddities of the election is said to be the near defeat of the anti-gamb- ling bill submitted to the people. Il had been passed by the third state legislature and had been submitted to referendum on the strength of a peti- ton backed mainly by the cigar stand and pool hall operators, with the backing also of the punch board" purveyors. It was designed to hit the dice games that now are to be found in almost any Arizona hotel lobby, ostensibly played for cigars, and is believed tc comprehend fully all the various games of chance that have been left unincluded in AriZona's anthgambling statutes.
 Games Covered
 There are covered the games of po- ker, blackjack, panguingi, "21," etc, as well as faro and roulette. In the prohibition and the penalties are in- cluded both the players and the pro prietors, managers, lessees or em- ployes of any house in which the pro hibited gaming shall be discovered.
 Forbidden to License
 Municipalities and counties are for bidden to license or permit gaming of any sort. All this was along the lines of much legislation heretofore that had had warm approval from the Ari- zona voters, yet the act would have failed had it not received very strong support in Maricopa county. As it was, it slipped through by a bare 670 majority.
 Public Works Contracts
 Restoration of the system of con tracting for public works of the state received a majority of 1732 votes. It was favored and submitted by an act of the last legislature. The original initiated act was one passed with the support of the labor union element ana was called ''an act to promote the welfare of the people of the state of Arizona, to provide for the develop ment of the resources of the state, to abolish the contract system of all state construction and to establish a state printing plant and to estab- fish a state banking system and to make an appropriation therefor |"
 The amendment just acted upon ia vorably is to section four and reads: All work on all state buildings, dams, reservoirs, fumes, water plants, gas plants and all other state con struction may be done by contract" There has been no serious effort to put into effect any of the balance of the original act"
