Geneva, Thursday, Sept. 26.-Em-
peror William, Field Marshal Duke
Albrecht of Wurttemburg and Prince
Stephen of Schaumberg-Lippe were in
Mannheim last week when British
airmen raided the city. The royal
party, according to the Democratic of
Geneva, was staying in the royal pail
ace and the emperor and his staff
promptly took refuge in the cellar, re-
naming there 20 minutes. The pal
ace was O hit as it had been during
a previous raid, but bombs fell in the
vicinity. +,
The royal party spent last week in
Alsace-Lorraine, stopping at the chief
Rhine towns. Military hospitals gem

monies were avoided.
The object of the visit,3sthewnews-

FOR POPULART Y OR PRINCIPLE
The taking Of the vote in the senate m

The taking Of the vote in the senate on the woman
suffrage amendment was deferred from Thursday until
a later date, Saturday having been named as the prob
abs time. On the whole. the country appears to be
quite calm over the subject, and there is no appearance
of Overwhelming interest In it. AS in a good many
other cases men have lined themselves up on the suf-
frage side of the question without having any convic-
tons in that direction, but have been influenced by the
desire to do wFat they believe! would be the popular
thing. This. Of course, is aside from the merits Of
woman suffrage or prohibition, or any Of the several
other issues on which public men have been similarly
Influenced. o. <
Senator Borah is one Of the few who prefers to
stand by what he believes to be sound principles rather
than to violate those principles for the sake Of popular
ity. In answer to an appeal made to him to support the
woman suffrage amendment he has written a very force
full letter setting forth his opinions on the subject, those
opinions being that the selection of those who shall do
the voting is . matter which belongs properly to the
states. and not to the nation, and that to transfer this
right from the state to the nation is to destroy the state
as a gszsrnnnental entity and make Of it q mere geo.
graphical expression. This he believes to be unw1se ana
dangerous, and, regardless of the effect upon his party
or himself. he does not intend To- be a party o II. Con-
tinuing, he writes:
You may ay to the women Of my state
that whatever they may conclude with refer
ence to me individually. they win undoubtedly I
get the amendment I am too familiar with
the times and the things which control these
matters IN these days to believe for q moment

SOMETHING MORE IMPORTANT

-, 6Q1tOr WdT0WeA, o II EemD1na E1Oneer Press, Will
scarcely be charged by those who know him with indif-
ference to party and party Organization. He has ALWAYS
been a staunch party man, and has stood by the Repub-
Ecan party of which he is a member, through thick and
thin for a good many years. But he finds in the present
situation something more important than party, and
something moro important than the economic problems
with which we are confronted Just now. And he ex-
presses his convictions as follows:
There IL something more important than tariff re-
form, government control of utiHties, etc. involved in the
present campaign, The fathers and mothers of the boys
from this state. who are fighting in the trenches in Elan
ders, are interested In seeing that their boys have the
support from home.s@axt
The Pioneer Express believes in Republican prin-
cdrles. We believe that the principles Of the Republican
,arty have made the United States one of the greatest
nations In the world. But these issues are secondary
now. We believe that In the next general election the
thinking voter, whether he has donated 31S 70 the Non.
partisan cause or not, Will support candidates from state
officials to members Of congress, whom they know are
.hrmly behind President Wilson IN these, ths most strsnu.

EXCEPTIONS NOT THRILLING

The Great Falls Tribune wakes enthusiastic over q
subject concerning which enthusiasm is proper and tit
ting. namely. the war and the means Of winning it. Con-
eerning the manner in which the people may cooperate,
The Tribune says: sN
A quarter Of a dollar, the price Of two
cigars. the cost Of attending a cheap picture
snow a sum Of money often expended even
BY our poorest citizens with little thought for
some trif1ins pleasure which satisfies no real
need IT saved every day by all the people in
the United States, would produce more money \
than all the war taxes levied by the United
States plus its ordinary revenue besides. It
would buy ten billion dollars worth Of savings
stamps in q year, and almost make Liberty
Loan bonds unnecessary. There is food for
thought in the figures. With trifling exceptions
almost any family in the United States can
save twenty-five cents per day per head out OF
their expenditures. or increase their earnings
BY that sum-, which amounts to the same thing
II the increase Is invested in savings stamps.
the figures are a little strong, but that may pass.
But the est'mate OF the ability Of the people to save is
faulty. The Tribune says that with trifling exceptions
almost any family can save twenty five cents per day
per head out Of their expenditures, of increasing their
earnings by that sum. The exceptions are by no means
trinins. Take the case Of the family consisting of man,
wife. and three children going to school, and there are
hundreds of thousands Of such families. The Tribune
assumes that for such q family to save $1.25 a day more
than it is now saving is a simple matter. Is it? If
the head Of the family is a wage Garner it is by no means
easy for him to increase his earnings by such a sum, and
the number of families in moderate circumstances who
can cut down their expenditures by that amount is GER
ttainly not large.
1t is not necessary to exaggerae to indicate what
may be done. Nearly everyone can do a little more.
Many can do a great deal more, and it is by bulkine to-
gether what both classes can save that the results will
be reached. -~~-a - e0 -~-.D4... ..

TAXATION

OPu1dI1y r always COnSlQered too high: and
the responsibility for high taxes seems usually to be
placed on the particular taxing body which the individual,
has at that moment under consideration, regardless
whether or not that body has anything to do with the
result. 1t is a fact that most OF our taxes are those which
are most directly within the control Of the taxpayers
themselves through their various municipal bodies. In a
recent statement the state tax commission points out that
IN this state the average taxes per individual, for all pubs
lie purposes Of every kind. amount to about $780,. or this
only $2.62 goes to the state government, the remainder
being distributed among city, county. township and school
governments. Continuing, the commission says:
'rhis evidence shows conclusively that the
tax bills cannot be reduced materially except by
a curtaflment IN the levies OF cities. counties. So.
townships and school districts. 1t is safe to say
that there Is no more careless expenditure Of
public funds than can be found in some of these
divisions of government. II each citizen were
to constitute himself a committee Of one~&cse-
cure business methods in the government of these
divisions. the tax bills could be reduced consid-.
erably. The taxpayer who insists that the dollar
spent from the public treasury must have the
same, purchasing power as the dollar spent from
his own pocket has an ample field for his activi-
ties Immediately surrounding him."
This is all very true. But it is not true, as is often
assumed. and as has frequently appeared to be assumed
" S~1 SS00o We pSN
money per individual on local than on state government,
our local governments are less efficiently conducted than
is the state government. That may be true in some
cases, but the fact thai. more money per capita is spent
in the one case than in the other proves nothing what
ever.
A dozen families in the rural district may, in addi.
ton to paying their share Of the cost of state and county
government, may be obliged, in addition, to bear the en-
tire cost of a township government and that of a school
district. Roads are to be built and maintained. 1t may
be that bridges must be built. A school is a necessity,
and a good school costs money. It is true that the people
who bear the cost Of these things are themselves the
benehciaries, and that for which they are paying NAV be
we'll worth the price. But the figures are there, just the
came. and they show that the local expenditures are
immensely less per capita than those for local purposes.
At the figures quoted, or any other figures, the state
government may represent the extreme of extravaganza,
md the local governments the extreme Of economy or
vice versa. Conclusions as to economy and extrava gance
drawn from such figures as these are like all other con-
ILLUSIONS drawn from only part Of the facts.

ECONOMY AS A NATIONAL DUTY

Economy is the watchWord OF
the hour. Economy in dress,
economy in food, economy in
manner of living.
Every man, woman and child
in Arizona must understand that
the War Saving Stamp Campaign
is more than a movement to Sc
cure the loan Of war money to
the United States government.
The spirit of thrift which it i'm
poses will do more. 1t will re-
duce the demand for commodi-
ties. This will lesson the heavy
strain on the nations resources
in man power, money, transpor.
tation, food stuffs, raw materials
and fuel. The Council of Ma.
tional Defense has decreed that
it is clearly every man and wo-
mans duty to guard against in
creasing this strain by a single
wasteful act. The money you
save can have no more logical
use than in investment in the
national securities.

BuMPLEss ROADS OF THE FUTURE

Those Of US who ride in auto
mobiles, and that means nearly
everyone, are interested in good
roads, particularly those that are
smooth.
Extensive tests recently com.
pleted in the laboratories of the
Standard Oil Company have
opened the probability of a bright
future of bumpless roads.
In the past oiled roads have
had a decided tendency to break
down in places and become very
uneven after a short time. The
trouble was that earlier road oils
contained only a percentage Of
asphaltum. The tests of the STAN
dard Oil Company have proved
that asphaltum offers many times
greater resistance to the forces
Of traffic and the elements than
road oil containing only q per-
centage Of asphaltum. Engi-
neers are recognizing this fact
and are using Calol Asphaltum
(E grade) in their operations.
The result is that the bumpless
road, instead of being q total
stranger to the motorist, is be-
coming a well.known friend.

HE JOINED THE MARINES

Either join the Marines or
leave home!" This was the ulti-
matum issued to Frank A. Lau-
denberger. a silk weaver, Of
Marietta, Pa, by his patriotic
wife.
When Laudenberger appeared
before Sergeant Jim Gandee, Of
the recruiting station at Lancas.
ter, Pa, recently, he was told
he would have to obtain his
wife's consent before he could
be accepted.
CONSENT he asked. laugh
ingly. why, she told me that
any man who called himself a
man would be fighting for his
country and that would have
to enlist in the Marines or leave
home. Guess that's enough con-
sent, isn't it?"
Laudenberger was accepted i'm
mediately and his spartan wife
was on hand at the depot to see
that he surely got on his way to
help make the world safe for
democracy

Just how the Prussian seeks
to appropriate the world is shown
by the following story from Eng.
land: my cousin has very
large estate in Warwick and he
had some Hun prisoners assigned
to him for land work. One pris.
oner was praised for doing good
work, and replied that he had
done it for himself, as the land
would be his in the autumn
that it had been allotted to him
by his government. ;"

The success met in the recent
roundup of slackers in Phoenix,
Globe and other cities in the
State, leads US to believe that a
similar roundup here in the near
future would be productive Of
good results and would be the
means Of landing quite a num-
ber of slackers in this county.

The Doctor Away from Home When
lost Needed

People sre often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pains in the stomach and bowels, collie
and disrrhoen require prompt trestment,
and have in many instances proven
fatal before medicine could be pro-
cured or physician summoned. The
right way ia to keep ut hand bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy. No physician can prescribe
better medicine for these diseases.
BY having It in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all risk.

The BEST SYSTEM

"--F EkNFt p" ~
Eventually the local business
man will get wise to the good
advice of the government in the
"cash and carry" plan and es-
tablish the new system for his
business.
The government now intends
to reduce the cost of food to the
consume and compel all dealers
to observe a fair price list. "
This plan will be nationwide and
has already been ordered by
Food Administrator Hoover.
The dealer who has established
the "cash and carry" plan will
be enabled to reduce the cost Of
food to his customers. The deal
er who continues the credit and
delivery" system must charge
more for his goods and will lose
out in the end.
The credit and delivery
store that delivers $l.0O worth
of groceries to a customer sew
eral miles away and consumes,
going and coming, rs cents worth
|of gasoline, will find it a serious
matter 70 reduce the cost of gro.
ceries to his customers. But II
he will establish the cash and
carry" plan, he will find it a
much better and more profitable
system to work under.
When the customer realizes
that he must do his part in the
new economical plan devised by
the government and that In pay
Ing cash and carrying home his
groceries. he is paying less for
each article and is reducing the
cost of living for himself and
family. he will readily fall in
line.
The credit system in the gro
Gerry trade is becoming q thing
of the past in every community.
The free delivery Of groceries
has been cut down in most places
to one morning and one after
noon delivery. but the customer
is made to pay the cost of deliv.
cry by the higher price charged
for his groceries, and he must
realize this fact and save money
by paying cash for all he buys
and carry home his own groceries.
What the local business men
should do and do at once. is to get
together and organize an asso.
citation for their own protection.
BY organization and cooperation
on the best plan for maintaining
a fair price for all commodities,
the great losses which now oc-
cur every month in every credit
and delivery store in this town
will cease, lower prices for the
cost Of food will obtain and the
honest and patriotic customer
will be better satisfied.
The cash system and the fair
price list is coming. Why not
get busy now and establish the
new system before Uncle Sam
makes you do it?
