As head of LamSon Business Col lege YOU are in a position to render great service to the Government by en- couraging your students to qualify for positions in Washington. This means the taking of Civil Service test. but as you can see by the enclosed an nouncemeiit. the examination for sten- ographer and typewriter is not difficult and the various supplemental registers established make it possible for com parative novices, who are capable, to secure appointments.
 ?. The War has created need for an enormous army of stenographera and typists. upon which depends Tn large measure the success of the fight ing army. The typewriter army at this time is not sufficient to meet the demands and this situation must be remedied immediately if our fighting army is not to suffer.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
The Cooperative Movement

Phoenix, September 13, 1918. Editor of The Arionza Republican,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir In last Sundays issue, find very interesting and instructive article about Russian affairs. written by Mir. Bell. Anything authoritative about Russia is bound to have the at tention of all thinking people, because the first great economic change re- sulting from the war has taken place in that country and we feel instinct ively that it will to a great extent have an influence upon the balance of the world.
 Mir. Bell seems to have had or has still great confidence in cooperation, as developed in England,-he mentions to have pointed out the importance ot the English movement in that direction to MT. Tchaikovsky-and it is this opinion precisely to which l like to take issue I know. that in England CO., operation is a success, that is to s5y success for the CO., operators. but not for the whole of the nation, just the same as a great tradesunion may be

LIBERTY VOTE Is
 FOUND AS STATED

Whatever doubt and uncertainty ex- isted regarding the vote for sheriff in Liberty precinct existed was removed yesterday morning when telephone message was receised at the office of the board of supervisors from x. A. Sanders, the inspector at that precinct. He said that it was fact as had been reported, that 49 votes were cast for Adams and one for Wilky and that
 that would be plainly shown when the ballots were examined.
 Mr. Sanders was moved to give this information by reports that reached Liberty that the reported returns were
 unreasonable. He did not say what had brought about this unexpected re- suit

The Salary Increase

Tho most direct way out of the slough into which the democrats of the have been plunged is to ind that tht of March l4 917 increasing salaries 'f state and county officers is no law. There. then 'cng mo law, Mir. Colter could have participated thc enactment of law increasing the salary Of the office of governor and therefore taint Of nesi- nuity would attach to him a candidate for governor.
 There are though. many deserving democrats who c awake nights praying for light in other direc 'on for they would he seriously affected by the relief that would come to Mir. Coer from such so- tuition. 4 little matter of s25OO year. the amount Of the increase the governors salary would be nothing .o him; S6.5oo. sLoOO, slOOO would be all the same. Eut it would be all the same to the shoal of in- -umbcnts whose salaries raised by the same legislative boost
 Tho only other state office affected is that of the attorney general whose salary was increased from $500 to Stooo. A flat increase of $500 T year was added to tho salaries of the superior judges of all coun- ics. Many of tho other county official salaries wole affected tn greater less degree and believe that In very few cases in the process nf classification and equalization. few salaries were reduced
 There is this to be taken into account: Suppose The negative of this classification law should be sought and effected for the relief of Mr. Colter would not the resentment of democratic office holders and their rieuds against him for inadvertently stirring up this wuss and setting out of it their expense initiate against him at the polls. Officials do not suffer re- auctions ot salaries without inward bleeding and out ward expression. Coming at a time when the high Of living had acropaned to heights undreamed of these deserving democrats going to volplane without somebody having to pay for their descent. There never such inopportune time m all he economic history of the country for reduction of salaries. And yet we boast that making the world safe for dcmocracy-tho while we are pressing down tho salaries of Arizona democrats
 We have not heard how the democrats intend to straishtca this thing out and secure the notification of thc classification law-whether they are so sure % is null that they win ahead supreme disregard of e. whether they will try to secure court cx- orcssion concerning it previous October 15.
 We do not know, either whether when it has been disposed of it will be regarded a closed inc- ent whether those excesses of salaries which have hccn paid under the law will have to returned to The treasury We suppose. though. that will be a negligible matter. The only concern is tho qualif- 'aton of candidate for office o tho bcncficiarics 'f the law.

COLT MAKING
@ SIX FURLONGS UNDER
1:2O is REAL Conner

Louisville, KY, April 1.--Escoba,
which defeated the best field of young.
Sters racing on the American turf in
the Lexington Flturity last fall and
now regarded as crack contender for
the eKntucky Derby, is rounding into
shape for the big race. The colt in
his first real trial of the season step
ped six furlongs at a lively clip, coy
fering the distance in 1:1S 80.
Escoba's work attracted the atten-
stiOn of every trainer at Douglas Park.
Trainer Ward declared the colt could
have negotiated mile just as easy
IDS he did the shorter distance.
Thoroughbred trials are rarely ex-
tended ones, this early in the season,
md the actual conditions or fitness of
colts is likely to be deceptive on that
account. Not until they negotiate a
distance can true line be obtained.
Escoba's most recent work out was a
revelation to his trainer. 1t estab-
1ished the fact that the son of Broom
stick and Christmas Star had winter
"a we'll and was as far advanced IN
| his preparation as any one Of his E-
walls for Derby honors. .
Should Escoba be defeated in the
Derby he will disappoint a lot of

and Churchill Downs, who hold strong
" TO the belief that he will not only
score IN this classic, but that he will
account for most of the other three
year old stakes, of the year. The colt
cannot compare with his sturdy rival,
