A member of the commission of public institutions is to be quoted as stating that this force account" work costs at least 30 per cent more than under contract, and for no better work. A job at the state insane asylum for which a Phoenix firm bid $21 900, with expectation of good profit, is said to have cost S36.000 under the day labor system. There is criticism of the way that costs are piling up in the new construction work at the normal school at Tempe. Some figures are being col lected to show that this socialistic ex- pertinent has been very expensive to the taxpayers and has really initiated against the construction of public buildings, at least leading to smaller buildings or poorer construction, to keep within specific appropriations. A bill for a referendum now is ready for submission 10 the legislature. but with the opposition of the solid minority in each house, can hardly expect passage if the session last no longer than a week.
 From the attorney generals office has come a definition of the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee. It is affirmed that the legislature uu- der the governors call may consider nothing outside of the call except in the way of referendums of eonstitu- tional amendments. Initiation of bills for submission Is not covered. But a late decision of Wiley Jones seems to leave the matter rather in the air, in- ferring that legality of any such legis- lative action would have to be sub mitted to the courts, anyway.
 The attorney generals office has de cided that it will do no harm for the legislature to initiate a popular bill for submission of the capital punish ment question. The capital punish ment petition was circulated in the lob bies and received many signatures. Ac- tiOn suggested by the legislature, on the lines of a bill that has passed the house already, simply will complete the necessary action, according to the attorney general, making everything complete without necessity for con sideration by the regular legislative session next winter It will be all right for the electors to vote for both measures on the ballot. It is notable that little opposition to the measure has appeared. The senate killed its capital punishment bill merely because it was not considered within the pur- view of the call.
 Tine senate completed legislative ac- ton on the Marsh patriotic resolution, the ninth. according to senator Rob erts in what he now terms the 'reso- lutionary war session"

MINE OWNER ASKS FOR HIGHER TAXES

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Because they aremaking large profits out Of the war, zinc and lead mine operators are willing to pay increased taxes, Temple Chapman, of Joplin, told the house ways and means committee to- day during the hearings on new war revenue. taxation. He is the first wlt- ness toflatly advocate increasing the taxes on his industry.
 Since the he of tae mines is short, Mir Chapman suggested that in fix ing higher taxation the committee should take cognizance of the fact that the large profits are warranted.

An eminent French admiral, writing for Paris publication upon the present phase of the war, declares that "A formidable war demands the cohesion of all elements, au- dacity, untiring activity, the boldest initi- ative, all this into one spirit of offensive He urges a bold attack by the allied navies upon the submarine bases and a continu- ation of these attacks. Many allied mill tary authorities are convinced that the only way to combat the German offensive is to launch a counter offensive somewhere along the line upon a gigantic scale. There is not the slightest doubt but that Germany is holding many sectors with only fringe of men, drawing all the others away to points where she elects to strike, and this with supreme confidence that the allies will not dare or cannot strike at these thinly held points of the German line So far this reasoning has been correct. But this col umn is convinced that Foch will yet strike.

It is now estimated that the United States furnishes almost three-fourths of the corn crop of the world of 3,950,000 bushels, or seventy-one percent, to be exact Argen- tine comes next with only six percent, and then Mexico and Austria with five each. Neither Germany, France or England raise enough corn to be mentioned in table of corn producing nations that give figures down to as low as three percent in Italy
 Now, corn is next to W heat as the great food product of the world for either man or beast, hence America tremendous power as an ally, which Germany seems to have eliminated entirely from her official calcu- ations on our part in this war Corn will place battery in action by furnishing pow CT to the artillery horses Corn makes the allied transport service move via the army mule, who plays his part still, even though gasoline has assumed so much of the bur den. Corn bread will carry soldier man about as far and as strong as bacon or wheat. Yes, and corn makes bacon Now at least half of our corn crop will go to our army and our allies. Half of this crop would save Germany from most of her worries about food for man and provender for beast In fact, American cotton, corn, copper and wheat each weigh in the scales against the Prussian with the weight of an army each in the great war. And next year they will weigh heavier than they do now.

Cantigny, Chateau Thierry, Torcy and Bouresches, these four names mark an epoch in world affairs and will have a page in history a thousand years hence all to themselves. By these four glorious, crin- son doors did America enter the world con flict in Europe. The new republic coming back to save the mother countries from ruthless domination The taking of these four French towns from the Germans by American troops Is only the beginning. It Is not the numbers engaged or the magni- tude of the success, that makes the import ance of these four names, but they form the Boston tea party of the beginning. They serve to show American valor speed and efficiency in modern war when pitted against the kaisers best They formed the first test Larger towns taken by and by; greater victories gained, will not compare to Cantigny and Chateau Thierry in the importance of their bearing on the great war, for the great question, What can the Americans do?" has already been answered at these four little villages, and the entire world heard the answer and all posterity will cherish it.

Germanys idea of grim and deadly hu- mor is to turn two submarines loose along a coast line and sink some fifteen ships and then declare that coast danger zone and warn neutral shipping. For Germany there Is no neutral shipping and never has been since she perfected the submarine. Not nation in the world with a prow upon the ocean but that has had ships sunk by U-boats in disregard of all neutral rights and precedents It was this ruthless dis regard of the rights of neutrals upon the high seas that brought America into the war. And now Germany would warn neu- trals that the Atlantic coast of America Is a danger zone It is a colossal bluff, de- ivered with the same sld imperialistic buster.

New York Correspondence of the Pitts
 burg Dispatch.
 Panic-stricken by peace, the chorus girls of former years, who for the past few months have been earning in less romantic but more substantial jobs comfortable living wage, are scurrying back to Broadway, seeking to regain their old positions on the stage. Re- gently these girls have been waitresses; they have been conductorets and .eleva- tor starters and conductors. Some of them have had jobs as porters and night clerks, others spent four of five months ol the spring and summer Pn farms. And now, because they believe that the men are coming home to take back their jobs. these girls, like frightened rabbits, are Scuttling back to what they fondly be- i'eve is the protection of the bright lights. They are frightened" said a theatre manager, just plain frightened. As soon as peace was announced the number of applicants. for jobs increased by tens and scores. My advice to all those girls is to stay out. There will be plenty of work. Generalization is com ing slowly, and there will be for months to come continued need for women workers in many capacities in which they were never needed before That is what am telling to all of these panicky girls who are clamoring to be allowed to come back and starve on Broadway"

WHAT e2c1 WORDS DID

From the New York World.
 Among the arguments once advanced against the claim that William ShaKe- speare really wrote Shakespeare's plays is the fact that the plays contain apout 15,O0O different words. To the arguihe scoffer it was inconceivable that tne plainly bred rustic of Stratford-oh-Avon could have known even 1000 words. Be- sides, he might have added 'Compiea' English Dictionary" published in lelS' the year of Shakespeare's death, con tained but 50S9 words.
 A proceeding in logic directly the re- verse of that taken against the para IS of course possible. So. when we read ir the pamphlet painstakingly prepared bv one Bannell Sawyer of our own New york that in 75 notable addresses deliv- cred in the period 1s13-19lS by President Wilson. only 622i different words were employed, we are at liberty to draw our own derogatory conclusions. We may assume at once the demolition of the theory, hitherto held reverently, of a scholarly control in the White House.
 "A well-read college graduate. we have seen it stated somewhere, should be familiar with perhaps 10000 words. X Enjoying this Photographic wealth and fortified by the knowledge that the near est unabridged dictionary could give him his verbal fill up to a count of over 3e0.000. would such a gentleman be con- tent to spread beggarly 6o0O words over 75 separate occasions of speech?

Do. Not Rob the Land

"On recent trip through south Alabama" said former Gov William D. Jelks yesterday, T ran across two government labor agents sent out from MT. Tarrant's office in this city. They were looking up labor for the Muscle Shoals dam. In the whole section where these parties were at work there is a great strtngency in the labor mar ket. The drafts and the labor agents have denuded the farms and the towns, so that great areas of valuable lands are idle. and artisans cannot be had in the towns. Now, when the de- mahd for food is so great--food, the only ammunition now necessary would it not be a splendid Idea to send these labor agents to the disband- ing shipbuilding plants and to the ammunition centers for labor for Mus- cle Shoals? If We are to feed the world, why rob the land?'

PEACE PALACE A HISTORIC SPOT

sists of two wings, each 400 feet long separated by central court which is about 200 feet square The two wings are
 linked by square building, which juts out into the green gardens and overlooks
 the fountains in the centre of the park. The corodor along the western face Of this central building, 240 feet in length 5 feet in width and 42 feet in height from its tessellated floor to it's 'arched ceiling, is known as the Hall of Mirrors It is in this stately room that the peace conferences probably will be held Oppo-
 site the r large arched windows which
 command such beautiful view of tho
 gardens is corresponding number of
 bevelled mirrors, set in the wall. Gym
 ence of treaties have said: statesmen
 who sit in a glass house should not be
 surprised if nations throw stones" But
 the world is perennially hopeful.
 Just opposite the centre of this Gal
 larey of Mirrors toward the inner
 court, is the historic bedchamber of
 Louis XIV, in which his richly adorned
 bedstead is still preserved. Flanking the
 bedchamber to the right and left are two antechambers, the bulls-eye (so called from one of it's windows, an ovaD and the council hall, in which the Kings courtiers used to await him. The Hall of Mirrors, the Kings various apart ments, and indeed all of the 150 rooms and halls of the palace are filled with priceless tapestries. To them cling the whispers of countless days and nights oi royal folly that came to an end with Louis XVIII. The value of the art treas ures in the palace may be estimated at $5,OO0,0O0, but the millions that have been squandered in those rooms can never be added up.
 In the Hall of Mirrors was consum- mated on January IS. 1871. the treaty ending the Franco Prussian war, by which France lost Alsace and Lorraine, and was forced to pay to Germany $1,OO0, ,OOO,OOO. Twelve days previously the victorious Germans had insultingly chosen this same hall for the scene of the coronation of Wilhelm II, King of IiuSsls, dS EiApSiol ol SCliiduS' ASC1iiy | 100 years previously. on September 17S3, Great Britain and the American colonies signed their treaty of peace in that room.
 The section of the Gardens of Yer sailles known as "the Trianons is oc- cupied by two small but expisitely de- signed and furnished villas, known re- spectively as the Grand Tranon" and the Petit Trianon.' The former, of only one story, was built 2so years ago by Louis XIV for the famous Mime. de Maintenon.
