NOW

By George W. Cable of The Vigilantes.
 The thought that cannot put away now is that whatever 1 might save now and fail to save now may be a hundred times the worst waste I shall ever have committed though I have, like most Americans, many past wasteful habit to regret.
 It will be far the worst because not to save now is to throw away the CO., operation of millions of others; be- cause not to save now will tend to prolong the war; because not to save now will multiply the wars privations, lengthen its death-roll, and the vast procession of its maimed men and will make saving more difficult and less ef- fective by and by when we shall be compelled to save through cruel con- ditions from which saving now might have saved us.

.SNATTING THE
 HUN AT HOME

Now that schools are closing all over Arizona, the State Council of Defense suggests that teachers and parents cooperate in plans that will utilize the services of sturdy boys and girls for fair share of the vacation period. It is not believed we'll to entirely elim- mate entirely the period of recreation. It is necessary to every growing lad and lassie. Yet a change of work sometimes is restful, especially after d long grind at the desk. In some locali- ties the girls already are busy in the orchards, picking fruit and drying and preserving it, thus saving even the part of the crop that ordinarily is un- salable in the market. But bird pecked or small fruit is often as good as the most showy when made into preserves. Too much fruit has been wasted in Arizona heretofore. Many of the girls, too, may take places in stores and shops for the summer, ib- erating the boys for the rougher work of the fields. The boys from the schools have a much wider field than that of their sisters and should feel that their labor is a precious thing, to be devoted primarily to the service of a country for which they still are to young to bear arms.

Disappointing as the figures are to those who have been giving up their time in the war savings movement nevertheless, the good work that has been done in some counties is encour- aging, in that it shows that energetic work will put each county lover the top"
 The movement in Arizona has been made more difficult, owing to the fact that so many other campaigns have been on in the state and each one has caused the, war savings movement to slow up.
 Secretary McAdoo appreciating this condition has instructed the directors of war savings in each of the states to hereafter not allow any movement of any kind in the various states to interfere with war savings activities, except the liberty loans.
 It is now realized that the task of raising two billion dollars in war sav- ings is one which requires the hardest work, and to be a success it must not be interfered with by any movement other than one which is along the same lines of raising the money to fi- nance the government during the war.

JAPAN PAYS HUGE TAX
 FOR NAVY INCREASE

Japan having decided upon an in- crease in her navy that involves the expenditure of S150,0O0,000, spread ove5 six years, a general increase of taxation has been proposed, and it will probably be carried out.
 The income tax is to be raised in a way to bring an aggregate addition of 20 per cent, the increase being grad uated so as to be only 10 per cent upon the smallest incomes and 50 per cent upon the largest. The minimum income taxed will be $250.
 A war profits tax is to be initiated on both business profits and on in- comes, but no personal income of less than $500 a year will be taxed on account of its having risen during the war, and in this way the wages of working people and moderate salaries do not have to pay for the wage in creases of war time.

 ARIZONA lO0 PER GENT

. LOS ANGELES, May 2S.-At the final big r.se,ing of the second Red Cross War End drive in Los Angeles, Monday evening, Chairman Harry M. Haldeman Of the campaign committee reported a grand total of S1,4OO,15O from 217,993 subscribers. This, it is believed, is record amongst cities of this size in the United States and the campaign managers predict when Los Angeles final returns are made, the total will be S1,5OO,OOO which is 100 per cent over-subscribed. The quota for Los Angeles was S750,0O0.
 A telegram from John B. Miller, chairman of the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross in San Francisco last evening announced that the Pa cific division total up to that time was S5,485,S71. The quota for the Paci- fic division was S3,73O,OOO. The total subscriptions for California were S4,- 96S,927 and the quota for California was S3,465, ,000. Mir. Miller wired that Southern California had reported ST. 979, ,746 in contributions to the second Red Cross War Fund Drive. Northern California had reported S2,989,181. Nevada reports a contribution of S1O6,- 645 with a quota of S75,OOO. Arizona is 100 per cent over the top with a contribution of S4O9,297. The quota of Arizona was $2OO,OOO.
 The entire Pacific division has re- sponded wonderfully to the patriotic appeal of the Second Red Cross War Fund Drive and has shown the world that the west coast fully realizes that the United States is in the war to win and is backing our boys with every effort that is possible on the Pacific Coast.
