 To Tell Home Folks
 Corporal Whited is one of 90 American soldiers selected by General Pershing to come back to America and inform the people at home about conditions at the fighting front. He also is one of the six who have been distinguished by having been awarded the famous French cross of war for valorous action on the field of battle.
 What he did to be given this cross was described by Corporal Whited in modest words. In lighter language he told of his sensation when the French general accompanied the dec- oration with a kiss on either cheek. As large @ crowd as could hear the speaker was present at the plaza, the Indian school band furnishing the music.
 Words for Red Cross
 Dwight B. Heard presided. intro ducing Judge Joseph II. Kibbey. who told of the work of the Red Cross. Fearful that the great distance which the battlefields are away from this country causes an attitude of apathy among many who have not really realized that this country is at war, Judge Kibbey urged them to realize what might happen if Germany won this war In making a plea for the Red Cross he asked them to consider that upon their generosity might de- pend the length of the war.
 When presented by Mir. Heard. Cor poral Whited wore the metal helmet He stood at salute with the audience while the band played the Star Spangled Banner"
 The speaker called attention first to tho metal helmet and the shrapnel scars on it and how many times it had saved him from serious injury at the least. T do this first" he said, 'so can take it off"

 If we find no sufficient basis for such proceedings our conclusion, to be convincing to the country, could not well be stated as a mere negative con- clusion in general terms, but should be accompanied by a fair, candid and adequate statement of the facts which our investigation has disclosed.
 Points Out Danger
 If it is understood that we con- template this course of action 1 should suppose that there would be a general disposition to permit our investigation to proceed unembarrassed by any other pararrel course of action. Clearly as we may recognize the authority to conduct another official inquiry at the same time, we cannot doubt that any official inquiry into the same counse of conduct, although with another aim, would tend to make difficult, if not inn

WILSON ID CONFER IN REGARD ID NEW
 REVENUE MEASURE
IRenuhIican A. P. Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Whether revenue lecislation shall be undertaken at this session of congress depends on President Wilson's decision after a conference tomorrow with congress sional leaders who are strongly in fa- vor of postponing the legislation until next December.
 Today the president went over the arguments presented by Secretary Me Adoo for enactment of new tax law before adjournment.
 All the advice Secretary McAdoo got from his advisers having charge of ad- ministering the revenue law ana or planning to meet future financial needs of the government was to the effect that new measure must be enacted by next fall.
 More Revenue to Be Needed
 He was told that by December or January the government will need more revenue from taxation, or definite assurance that it will be forthcoming, and that it will be next to impossible to collect taxes under law which might not be completed before next February or March.
 Regardless of government needs Secretary McAdoo is represented as believing that DuSlneSS lultIeslS VI tle nation should know long before Feb- ruary or March the nature and amount of taxes to be assessed on them for this years business.
 Congress in Session, If Necessary
 Members of the senate and house however still are hostile to the pro- posal to keep congress in session throughout the summer, and to the en- actment of tax legislation on the eve of elections. Leaders were unanimous 1 however, in stating that if Secretary | McAdoo and the president agree tha legislation is absolutely necessary, the! will get to work immediately on a bill and seek to press it through.
 Public Hearings to Be Held
 Chairman Kitchen of the house way and means committee said today tha if it is finally decided to take up tn revenue question at this session, publi hearings would be held, and it probabl. would take the house two months t dispose of the bill.
 Representative Kitchin said tonigh if tax bill were passed at this sessior D per cent of additional taxes woul be levied upon incomes and eXces profits.

COLONEL WRIGHT |S
 VISITOR IN PHOENIX

Colonel Wright, commanding the First Cavalry, now stationed at Doug las, spent Monday and Tuesday Tn the city and was witness of the opening of the special session of the legislature. Though his military service for several years has kept him in many parts of the west he had never before visited Phoenix. He had heard much of 1t but he admitted that he had not heard the best. That could be learned only by seeing it.

 When I was notified that l was wanted to report at headquarters, l was in the trenches, doing repair work. I asked what the charges were against me. The sergeant said there were no charges.

 Walking Is Better
 The railroad cars in which the sol diers rode in France received no praise from the speaker, declaring that he preferred to walk. The American sol diers thus gained the reputation of be- ing a great walking army. He de- scribed his arrival in France. his first march and first billet.

town Tue: day looking after his polit-
ical fences. He says he has not been
able to get out to call on his ftiend..
as he is now deputy in the treasurer's
Office, and as Mr.. McBurney, the
treasurer, is member Of the exemp-
tion board and most of his time is
takensup with that work, Mr.. Bixby
has been kept pretty busy with the
duties Of the Office. We apprehend
that it will be unnecessary for Mr.
Bixby to make any extensive canvass,
as he is well known throughout the
county, and has established reputa-
tion as a painstaking and efficient Off
Ger. He is familiar with the duties
of the Office he seeks and if elected
the people will feel that their funds
are safe in his keeping.
