Anxiety Over Help for czecha sloVaks

London. Aug. 19.-The great and
growing party in Russia which is both
sincerely democratic and thoroughly
at one with the aims of the Allies is
showing much anxiety, first, as to
whether sufficient help will be given
to the Czechoslovaks in Siberia, and,
second, whether that help will arrive
in good time. Naturally enough, every
Russian patriot feels that political
program must develop with the devel'
opment OF events rather than remain
conditional on circumstances Of the
past
For instance the question now
arises OF declaring martial law in
Vladiyostok, a thing which is consid.
cred absolutely necessary by Russians
acquainted with the local conditions,
while the allied commanders show
perfectly understandable reluctance
10 take such a drastic measure
The position of the day, or of the

rapidity owing to the maels 'om of

has received information which indi-
Gates that if the manufacturers to
whom blanks were sent recently had
taken care of the matter it would
have been to the states benefit in the
coming months; Tor there is a marked
shortage in labor in some of the war
industries and it is very probable that
many will be taken from Vermont to
other places. Several of the big
plants had to shut down part of their
establishments because there have
not been enough men to operate them
for lack of labor. Reports have al
ready reached the government OF
plants wanting men. one of which
needs 5000 at once. This VIII hit
Vermont hard and private business
will be more affected than any other
branch. 1t is very probable that the
clerks in stores will be among the

done without. and the owners can
give more time to the stores than they
have been giving in the larger places

MT. Hoover on Profiteering.

Food Administrator Hoover, in letter to the senate finance committee last week, evidently replied ito the report of the federal trade commission which disclosed great profiteering. Mr. Hoover says that the of the government great that it prevent profiteering, but will have take from tho robbers their ill-gotten gains by of excess profits tax. The government is primarily n- terested production and cannot be diverted into any which would interfere with production.
 Says Mir Hoover in his letter to the finance mittee:
 q do not think it will be denied that
 whole production and distribution system is
 based earnings of profits. and that it is
 primary u.ng say that the distribution
 system has got to proceed this basis and
 that therefore normal profits are not immoral"
 The government, Mir. Hoover says, has endeavored by regulation to hold producers down to normal, "moral' profits. but regardless of prices profits the country must have the goods. Every consdera- must yield before the necessity for stimulating production. The letter contains statement that the output of the beef trust for the coming year will be 7OOoOOOOOO pounds. The profit of cent pound which the packers admit they take would yield them s70 900 00O It is further stated that they could sell the beef without any profit and still make ample profit from by products far greater profit than that of cent pound meat products
 So far the packing industry is concerned, it would perhaps make little difference either to the consumers the live stock if the government could regulate the beef trust to cut down it's profits to a half cent pound a smaller frac- ion Better results all around could perhaps be ob- ained through the excess profits tax. There is, though question whether the meat packing industry would rather have it's profits curtaied in the making or be deprived of them by taxation whether there would not be a lack of stimulation of production in the application of profits tax which would reduce the trusts profits to normal moral"
 The greater the profits tax the less the. rest of us will have to pay, that ordinarily it is broad it is long. It is estimated that eighty per tent of the amount of the new revenue bill will be made up of excess profits.
 But there is important situation especially mentioned in the report of the federal trade Sion that is not fully reached by the application of inc profits tax It pointed out that con- and farmers victims of gross profiteering by the millers Of course. the government may take These immoral" profits from the millers but what Stimulation will that afford the farmer who is raising wheat? What encouragement would be given him 10 increase his acreage wheat which many other kinds of crops would yield him more? No amount of regulation taxation of the profits of the miller will help his and he is fully important iassa~ in nraduction the meat packer

MESA PLANNING T0 GET MORE ROOM IN
 ITS HIGH SCHOOL

MESA, July 1S.-The fact that be- lore many months Mesa will be con- peiied to provide additional high school 1 puilolngs, IS in part responsible for the request made of the city council by the board, for a 99 year lease on that portion of the city's tract of land lying west Of and adjoining the present high l school grounds
 yesterdays Republican stated that the lease had been asked for the req | son that the land was needed for a uweiling for the present and future school superintendents. This was true insofar as it went, but it is further ex- planned that the board has a much more ambitious program for the school
 At present the buildir~ for Mesa hlgh IS badly crowded and this year l VIII witness for the first time almost hundred freshmen in the school The Sro"th has been rapid and already the present quarters are inadequate. It is matter of but a year or so. it was stated yesterday. before another buiic i'lS Will be necessary, and the loeical place would be as near as possible to the present structure. allowing for an adequate campus and proper distance between the different buildings The | VI 'hc pOdIu IS that since M6Sd granted 99 year lease on the present grounds, it would be a practical plan TOT the some thing to be done regard Ing the other property since if it is necessary to purchase land for high School grounds at some future time it mlght be necessary to go outside of the toWn to secure cheap enough piece 1t was further emphasized by the men who were interviewed that the erection of residence for the superintendent was merely incidental.

 STAND ESTIMATED
 OVER 90 PER CENT

CHANDLER, July 1S.-While re- ports from different parts of the valley say the stand is spotty, an inspection of the cotton fields in this district just completed by George R. Johnson, presi- dent Of the local association, shows the stand is 90 per cent perfect.
 'The stand is not only above the average said Mr. Johnson, but the plants show fruit from the ground up. something unusual in this valley. There is a most promising outlook for a big crop to date. Roughly speaking. there are about 1000 acres in the dis trict, with coco acres on the lands of the Southwest Cotton company south of here. Their stand is good. with d fine prospect for a half bale to the acre, according to reports from experts on their holdings"
 drive around some of the fields in this district shows some wonderful crops. Two years ago in a drive from here to the reservation line. 10 miles south, only about four miles was in crop.

The Sacrifice of Colonel Roosevelt

The whole country sympatnizes with Colonel Roosevelt, whose sacrifice is his youngest son. All the Roosevelt boys went to war. One of them is dead and another Major Archie Roosevelt severely wounded and cited for bravery.
 None of the Roosevelt boys sought soft positions and influence could have been effective in securing for them places of prominence removed from danger They chose the hardest, most perilous roads,
 These gifts of his to the cause of liberty constitute perfect guaranty of the answering de- votion of Colonel Roosevelt to his country and his countrys honor, which he demanded three years should be defended that should not wait until it had ignominiousy retreated to point from which there could be further retreat but where it must stand at bay like cornered beast.
 Colonel Roosevelt did not that the defense of the country should be conducted by somebody by his neighbors and their sons by part of the pc, but by all the people, including himself and his sons-and for them he asked perilous part for are won only through peril.
 We do not mean that Colonel Roosevelt has made greater sacrifice than hundreds of American fathers and mothers have made within the last year; that his grief is Weighty than theirs that in his fallen the nation has sustained loss greater than it suffered when any ther American boy went down | blazing shaft of death.
 Colonel Roosevelt is only American and true one. More than that could not be said of him. of any other man at this time. Great his must be. it must be tempered by the pride of father and American that his boy died for his country and for those patriotic ideals which had been placed before him from childhood.

CLEVELAND, July 17. - August Hermann, chairman of the national baseball commission, in common pleas court here today filed his answer to the suit of the Philadelphia American League baseball club against members of the commission and the Boston National League club to restrain them from interfering with the services of Pitcher Scott Perry. In his answer MT. Hermann says the commission was created under a. national agreement for the purpose of settling baseball disputes and other controversies and contends that the majority of the com mission members awarded title to Perry to the Boston club. He says that all rulings of the commission in such mat ters have been considered final and makes no further answer.
