The Raffle Abandoned

Elsewhere this morning announce the abandon ment of thc Liberty Raffe" an enterprise promoted log enthusiastic patriotic citizens stimulate the sale of War Savings stamps. The raffe has been discon- unucd the suggestion of the United States treasury department following protest to it by the Minis tcrial Union of this city. It the belief of the Union that ends which could be reached in any other way did not justify the which had been ploycd It tho view of the Union that the appar- official approval of institution which had been suppressed by law would encourage a revival of the institution for other than patriotic purposes It would bring to tho visuazat.on of generation of the para phcrnalia of the crime of another age.
 Tho promoters of the raffe looked first to swell ns thc War Savings stamps fund. The government and the purchasers would both profit; nobody could losc lt would bring out much money which could ho encouraged Co investment in other way. The stipulation u would afford would be substituted for patriotic spirit which is sometimes slow and sometimes lacking for men will often do a thing for reason, when they will not do it for another
 There has been reazed from the distribution of tickets understand, about s2OOOO which the com mittcc in charge will return to the holders unless they should elect to accept the value of them in stamps.
 There can be question of the motive of the committee whose members had previously proved their patriotism in earlier work.

Its hard to leave him when he climbs my knee And lifts his clear questioning child eyes to mine. My heart feels pang of the hunger to be And my eyes turn away half ashamed of their brine. But over in France, over in France Is the place where should be taking a chance, Its the call of man. honor and not of romance, And can't stay away any longer It's hard to leave her and it's hard to leave him. But others have answered that they may be free; Their hearts ached like and their eyes grew as

Tarinn Official Salaries

We shall await with feversh impatience the ar r,al esteemed contemporary at present our only .cAchsugc" the Congressional Record, to ascertain what arguments were used against the taxing of official salaries from the presidents down to those Of county and municipal officials which may be large enough to loo taxed Why official salaries as well other salaries should not be taxed possibly conceive.
 There are a few men, but comparatively few who lc holding office at financial sacrifice. either for a, honor they imagine attaches to the office else "a a spirit of public service. The great majority Of flee holders though receiving compensation far -reticr than any private employment would yield fhcal much more than they would be worth to any private person firm or corporation, Official salaries everywhere in this country liberal There some pcsons who hold office only on account of ilc salaries but because tho jobs easy.
 The objection has been made to taxing county and state salaries the ground that congress has no bower to impose such a tax Perhaps it has not We believe there would have been no dispute that roint any time up to two years ago. But congress under thc spur of the has exercised within the .ast year many powers 1t was not supposed to pos ecee and ihe few instances when these powers questioned they were upheld. For instance the power t1 send men out the country war questioned and perhaps in other circumstances it would have been upheld.

 GO OVER TOP WHEN
 B0VD SALE STARTS

With the approach of the day September 2S-when the Fourth Liberty loan campaign starts come as surances from all parts of this dis trict 10 Secretary Harry Welch that Arizona is going to pile up Q big sun- scripdon. Figures are being turn,d iii and other data showing that the people are ready for the big stuff in money loanlnS and are ready for the drive.
 Harry Welch says it has come home to the people in a more pronounced manner than ever before that the Lio- erty loan is the fighting ammunition of the war, that all other war obfi- cations are as nothing almost when compared to it.
 Aside from being the best form of investment available now the Liberty loan gets on the firing line first of all the money. People realize thai thcir money through the bonds is going in.o the very vitals of the man power cf the nation.
 Harry Welch received yesterday q quantity of advertising material from headquarters. In this package was one display that contained a strong hut very brief argument in favor of the purchase of bonds. It is Q picture Of the battlefield with a legend reading in effect that the soldiers need the billions from home but Uncle Sam. if you cannot send these billions We will go right on fighting anyway, if possible and without pay"
 When it comes to the big stuff Ari- zona is there, was in substance what Harry Welch said in discussing Libcr- ty bond flotatiOns. 'It is as easy to collect dollars here," he continued. ''as it is to collect pennies in other places" He pulled out a letter from a mining camp. The letter acknowledged re- l ceipt of posters and other campaign
 material The letter said. this vii | he enough literature for we won't need much to double our quota, whatever i it might be. We are ready: sho0t.'
