WILL PROSECUTE
 REVENUE SLACKERS

Tax slackers will be prosecuted as vigorously and relentlessly under the war revenue act as draft slackers were prosecuted under the selective service act. The aid of all good citi- zens is evoked in bringing to justice the man who deliberately seeks to evade his just share of the war bur den."
 This was the statement today of Commissioner of Internal Revenue Daniel c. Roper With only eight days left in which to file income tax re- turns he has practically completed the organization of a huge dragnet for bringing into camp all persons who fail to file their returns by April 1. Revenue officers in every section of the country are checking up returns with a view to beginning prosecu- tions against tax dodgers. The word has gone forth that such offenders need expect no leniency.
 Through it's educational campaign the Bureau of Internal Revenue has endeavored to cover the field so thor oughly that ignorance of the law can not be consistently offered aa an ex- cuse," said Commissioner Roper to- day. 'The press the four-minute men the state and county councils of national defense, the field force of the department of agriculture and other government departments, banks, post offices and hundreds of volunteer agencies have co-operated in bringing home to the taxpayer his duty.
 ''The man who failed to register un- der the selective service act was re- garded by the war department as a stacker and prosecuted as such. The man who fails to file his income tax will be regarded as a money slacker,' and when discovered, as he will be, will be made to suffer full penalties of the law.
 Congress has distributed this tax justly and equitably. The rate is fix ed so that the rich man and the men of moderate means are assessed, each according to his income. No man can offer the excuse that his neighbor es- capes what he is made to pay. There fore, it is incumbent upon all good citizens to aid in carrying out the in- tent and spirit of the law, which is that the burden of the war tax be evenly distributed and every man com pelled to pay his just quota"

Ray P. Wheelock, who was a mem- Der of the Arizona Engineering com- pany at the time of it's organization, but who is now a lieutenant in the army, was sent east few days ago and will probably be in France within a month. Mrs. Wheelock, who was on her way to visit with her husband in San Francisco, but started too late, is visiting with relatives in Kingman. She will probably make her home in Kingman while MT. Wheelock is lover there"

George B. Ayers, one of the old timers of the county is the latest can didate to come forward in the race for supervisOrial honors. MT. Ayers has resided in Mohave county nearly forty years, and this is the first time he has ever been before the people for county office.

year or ten years or twenty years or hundred years, we must win in this struggle.
 "Various people come to us in Washington and tell us how the war is to be won. Papa Joffre comes and tells us that we must send men and men and more men. Medill McCor- mick tells us we must send guns and more guns; Hoover tells us we must send food, and others tell us we must send great fleets of airships.
 "All of them are right, but the great big need, which underlies all of these, is that of ships. Ships and ships and more ships is the need we must supply if we would win the war. The question as to how many men we can send over is easily answered in the ship tonnage we can supply. There must be continuous shutting of ships across the sea in order that our men may be sent and may be prop erly supported when they get there.
 "We were called upon to produce 6,O00,O00 of ship tonnage in 1918, but 100000 tonnage is all that we can hope for at the present rate of prog ress-and that means the sending over of only 500,00O men. We must push forward with the utmost urge the speeding up of the program for greater shipbuilding. We must create public sentiment that will demand proper housing for the shipbuilders. It's absolutely essential that we should give new and intensified attention to this item.
 ''The spirit of patriotism must well and throb through the men in the shipyards, and we must make them feel that they are doing their part to win the war just as much as the men on the battlefield.
 'Men must not treat the war as a means to an end, and any man, capital ist or employe, who uses this war as a means to advance his class struggle is a traitor to his country, and de- serves to be branded as such"
 Meyer Bloomfield told of his great satisfaction in viewing the progress of shipbuilding on the Pacific Coast and in the local yards. He said, in part:
 'I believe that with the increasing realization that we are in grave peril, the shipbuilding operations are ex- tending so that we shall probably have 100000 of dead weight ship ping this year.
 "We have been startled by the fig ures regarding the loss of shipping, as furnished by England, yet we do not full yrealize what this means. The English figures of a loss of 6,OOO,OOO tons by sinking are probably in terms of gross tonnage. Our figures are al ways in terms of dead weight tonnage. This would make the sinking some thing like 60 per cent greater.
 ''This is no time to assign blame for lack of ships; it takes time to build ships and to coordinate the re- sources of the government and the citizens to this end. We have not been a shipbuilding nation for fifty . years. Three years ago there began to be a glimmer of shipbuilding ac- tivities, and two years ago we really |

began to do something. We have asked shipwrecked and bankrupt in dustry to multiply itself many fold. There were few skilled men available and very few shipyards. These were crowded with navy work and contracts of private ship owners of other na- tions. The government has been call ed upon to create a gigantic industry out of nothing.
 "The response of men has been great. It is well that the yards shall be manned, but this labor must be converted into skilled labor, and this means waste. We must not wait for the government to do everything. We must not wait for it to provide the necessary housing and trolley cars, i etc, before we do our bit.
 q have been tremendously im- pressed by the patriotism and loyalty of the men and managers of the ship yards. One the whole, there is sound patriotism that resists the phy- sical handicaps, but there are condi- tions that must be changed if we would keep the shipbuilders busy and contented."
 The speaker told of the difficulties in securing housing and the situation wherein thousands of laborers have to travel many miles to and from their work in order to secure the ordinary comforts of life. He urged that i'm mediate action must be taken to change these conditions.
 ''The day of the landlord profiteer in shipyard community is over," continued Mir. Bloomfield. Congress has authorized the government to take what lands and houses around the shipyards it needs and talk about prices afterwards. We must conserve the proper state of mind of the work man in the shipyards. His state of mind is just as much of fact as the rivet he puts into the vessel.
 "What is it he wants? It is an ap- preciation of the fact that he is a fac tor, unit, an associate, a contributor, and one capable of making sacrifices in this war program. The chief req son of all our troubles is a sense of inequality on the part of labor, and it must be remedied.
 "We shall only avoid the possibility of a gulf by seeing how far each of us can contribute to mutuality between the men and the managers. A mutual respect must be established-a mob ilization of the spirit of men as well as their bodies.
 q have visited all of the shipyards of the Los Angeles district, and am delighted with the progress that has been made in every yard. You have every reason to be proud of the de- velopment since the activities began last June. This will be the gist of my official report.
 But we must not lose a moment. We might as well turn our country over to the kaiser as to interrupt shipbuilding for even a week. We must have good housing for the men; we must have schools for training the very raw material into at least pass able skill; we must create public sen timent that will honor the men who work at shipbuilding. These are your jobs. Don't let the shipbuilders do what you can do. Support the ship building program to the utmost, and we will win this waF without paying an exorbitant price."-L. A. Times.

The United States Department of Agriculture Says:

HE proportion of sugar needed for max
ing jellies depends upon the nature of the
fruit. Much waste of sugar and spelling
of jelly can be avoided by the use of
simple alcohol test devised by the Bureau
of Chemistry. A spoonful of fruit juice
is put into a glass and teaspoon of 80
per cent grain alcohol is added and
mixed by gentle shaking. Then pour
slowly from the glass, noting how the

precipitated as lump cup of sugar may be
used for each cup of juice if in several Jumps the
proportion of sugar must be reduced to approximate
threefourths the amount of the juice. If pectin is
not in Jumps, but is merely precpitated, the sugar
should be one-haf or less of the amount of the
