relics Congressman Dale brought
back from these battle fields. Some
sticks he had made into canes, one
he presented to Father Trottier,
others he will keep as reminders of
this trip and the battlefields where
so many sons Of France made the
great sacrifice for home and native
land. He spoke Of how gladly the
French people welcomed the Ameri-
cans and how they were heartened
by the Stars and Stripes. He told
of seeing a cannon planted about
with flowers and he went up to it.
An officer came out to meet him. He
said he spoke to him in English and
he did not understand, and the off
Ger spoke to him in French and he
I did not understand, but they
clasped hands and then they under
stood. The French people have
great faith and confidence in the
Americans. He related how they
stopped at one place where there
were many French children. He
went among them and one little boy
came up to him and held up his hands.

Congressman Dale has been ab-
sent from his home town a year last
Thanksgiving. and this was the first
opportunity they have had to hear
the message~he brought back to
America from the battlefelds Of
France and he was given a hearty
welcome.
He spoke Of the war conditions as
he found themsin France in 1917.
He touched very briefly on the trip
across, remarking what beautiful
sight it was IT,. see the ships and
their conveys and }he speedy little
desroyers darling in and out and
around the ships protecting them
from the U-boats.
The intense war work in Eng and.
the hospitals and the hospitality of
London were briefly told. for his
main thoughts were cent4red on the
battIehe,ds Of France where the
American thought and interest is
among the Kahki clad BOYS. He
gave a vivid description Of Paris
which he termed The city Of extremes
and the most beautiful city in the
world.
He spoke of meeting the Britf.h
General Gage and the remark was
passed how that probahly their
grandfathers fought each other in
the revolution. That was Of the past

Julian Eltinge, Tonight.

Following shortly upon the an
nouncement that Julian Eltinge,
famous feminine impersonator,
had consented to appear before
the motion picture camera in
in Paramount pictures, came the
name of the authors first pro-
duction. These were no less than
Carolyn Wells and Gelett Bur

short story writer's.
"The Countess Charming" is
the play and in it Mr.. EItinge is
seen as a bewitching foreign
countess who lures mems
watches, scarf pins and wallets
into her fair ringed hands for no
less a purpose than the Red Cross
fund. The picture abounds with
humor of the best sort and is the
kind that will be long remem-
bered for it's unexpected situa-
tions and screamingly funny
plot. Manager Barncord of the
Opera house announces "The
Countess Charming" for his
playhouse tonight.

At the early stages of the war
considerable was being said about
big business men throwing up
their personal affairs to accept
positions under the government
at 81 a year, thus manifesting
their loyalty and patriotism.
Now that the congressional in
vestigation committee has been
digging into the cause of proper
equipment being furnished the
soldiers. it is found that these
lone dollar a year patriot" have
been slipping big graft contracts
to the firms in which they were
financially interested. A soldier
boy who gets homesick and de-
serts camp is sent to the peni-
tentiary as punishment, but a
"dollar-a-year" patriot caught
grating on the war department
will be slapped on the wrist, and
probably be continued in his po-
SitiOn as patriot.

The attorneys for Gov. Camp
bell have filed papers in the
supreme court asking for a re-
hearing on the contest for the
governorship. 1t is doubtful
however if the court will grant a
re-hearing, as they probably do
not care to get mixed up in the
matter any further. The court
has already decided that the
crooked drunken election board
in Douglas precinct No. l were
loyal patriotic citizens above re-
proach, and on that point hung
the decision.

Secretary McAdoo, as general
manager of all the railroads in
the country, can save several
millions of dollars in operating
expenses by dispensing with the
services of the numerous high
salaried legal advisors of the

solicitors, and closing up the city
Offices being maintained by all
the larger roads in all the leading
cities of the country, as we'll as
the more important cities abroad.
All these adjuncts were neces-
sary under private control, as
the roads were after the busi-
ness, but with Uncle Sam run

Now with all the state offices
filled with dyed-in-the-Wool dem
ocrats we will expect a wonder
full change in the administration
of the affairs of the state. 1t is
not apparent yet, and we only
wonder when it will happen.
And then there is the extrava-
CANT appropriations made for
the republican administration we
have heard so much about in the
democratic press. Does any one
imagine for a minute any of the
money will be left unexpended
and turned back into the state
treasury?

Fix Up Your Income Schedule.


In a communication received
by this paper, Collector of In
ternal Revenue, Louis 7. Car
penter, announces that federal
income tax officer will be sent
into this county on January 28,
and will be here until January 81,
1918. He will have his office in
WinsloW and will be here every
day ready and willing to help
persons subject to the income
tax make out their returns with
out any cost to them for his
services. He will probably make
his headquarters at the postofice
or at the banks.
Returns Of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms
provided for the purpose before
March l, 1918. Because a good
many people don't understand
the law and won't know how to
make out their returns, the gov
ernment is sending out this ex-
pert to do it for them. But the
duty is on the taxpayer to make
himself known to the govern
ment. If he doesn't make re-
turn as required before March |,
he may have to pay a penalty
ranging from $40 to $1,000, pay a
fine or go to Jail. So if you don't
want to take chances on going to
Jail, you better call on the income
tax man. If you are not sure
about being subject to the tax,
better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax
man or not, you must make re-
turn if subject to tax.
Of course, persons resident in
other counties may, if they want
to, come and see the income tax
man who will be at Winslow.
The collector suggests that
everybody start figuring up now
his income and expenses so as to
be ready with the figures when
the expert arrives. Expenses,
however, don't mean family ex-
penses, money used to pay off
the principal of a debt, new ma
chinery, buildings, or anything
like that. They mean what you
spend in making your money,
interest, taxes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold, seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent,
Except for your dwelling). etc.
Income includes about every
dollar you got.

The United States circuit court,

The United States circuit court,
sitting in Los Angeles, has up
held the constitutionafity of the
"blue sky" law. This now makes
it possible for the corporation
commission to render valuable
service to the people protecting
them from fraudulent invest
ments if they do their duty. But
will they do it? When we look
back over some of the work of
the commission in the past few
years, where corporations have
been given authority to sell their
stock, and issue bonds with not
a dollar of tangible property in
sight, we wonder what view the
commission takes of blue sky.

County Attorney Laney, of
Maricopa county. is out in an
interview in the Phoenix Repub-
lican, declaring that the abolition
of capital punishment is respon-
sible in large degree for the
increased number of murders in
the state. Among other things
he said: Il am not prepared to
say whether or not it is morally
right to hang, but | am convinced
that capital punishment has a
restraining effect on those who
contemplate murder" This is
the opinion of every person who
has given the question of capital
punishment thoughtful considera-
ton, robbed of all disgusting
sentimentalism in favor of the
future moral development of the
criminal. If necessary, the de-
grees of murder should be re-
classified, and make first degree
murder with the death penalty,
include only the killing of an
officer in the discharge of his
duty, murder for robbery or at
tempted robbery, or murder
committed in assaulting or at
tempting to assault women, or
murders prompted by malice or
hatred. And the more men that
are hung for committing these
crimes the better it will be for
society in general.

The United States Supreme
Court has handed down it's unan-
imous opinion that the selective
draft law is strictly constitu-
tional. The question was taken
before the court on the theory
that the drafting of men for
foreign service was contrary to
the provisions of the constitution
that recites that soldiers shall
not be drafted to fight on foreign
soil. Conditions have changed
since our forefathers wrote that
section of the law. 1t wasn't
Washington's idea tn at the
United States would ever have
any entangling alliances with
foreign powers that would require
the service of our army abroad.
but that was before the United
States had acquired a place in
the financial world. With all his
keen vision into the future Wash
ington never dreamed that the
country he helped to establish
would some day be the greatest
nation in the world, with millions
of money available to finance
other countries in their wars and
intrigues, their industries and
development; and money is the
greatest entangling alliance with
nations as well as people.

We sometimes wonder if par
ents of young girls ever stop to
consider the dangers lurking in
permitting their daughters to be
on the streets at unseemly hours
unaccompanied with proper es-
corts? Thoughtlessness now may
bring years of grief later. Then
the habit the girls have of fire.
quenting the Santa Fe depot
during the day when the trains
come in is not conducive to high
er morals. They have no busi-
ness loafng around the depot,
and if they have indecent re-
marks made to them by some of
the men passengers they have
only themselves to blame. We
never could understand why any
girl gets the idea she is gaining
popular favor by being brazen
and flip, but we are probably old
fashioned and not up to date in
such matters. A good many
years ago, we know. young men
used as playthings the girls who
were good sports, but these same
young men never frequented
public dance halls or depot plat
forms looking for wife. Per-
haps it would be we'll if all the
young ladies considered this
matter seriously in her quiet
hours, and she might learn some
thing to her advantage.

Affairs has incorporated into
their new appropriation bill an
additional $4,000 to finish the con-
struction of the Colorado river
bridge east of Winslow. 1t has
been found that an additional
steel span was necessary to make
the bridge of any use, as the
original plan Of long wooden ap-
proaches would simply mean that
every high water would carry

FIXING WHEAT PRICE.

In fixing the price of wheat for the next year at the same figure which if has been for some time now, $2.9o q bushel, President Wilson has un- doubtedly forestalied another move in congress for an increases Repeated ly has this matter been brought be- fore congress only to be overcome by the action of the president Where the price of wheat would have gone by this time had such a step not been taken there is no telling There has been determination to boost it skyhigh without due regard for the fact that it was not long aga that it was selling at 20 cents a bfshel and then a. dollar a bushel from which the growers were getting satisfactory profits. Now the latter figure is much more than doubled and greater crops being raised and stil there is a disposition to advance ii way out of reason.
 By the presidents action the wheat growers are guaranteed $2.20 q bushel This means that they can do theil planting with the knowledge that ii is not going to he dropped suddenly to g or less They have something definite on which to base their opera tions. The advantage of this cannot be disregarded for it means that ever though they raise more wheat in the coming year than they ever did be- fore the price will remain the same for the government stands back of it Likewise it is also true that if tht number of new ships is such that it i' possible to tap the wheat fields 1T other parts of the world, for it i' known that Australia has quantitie! stored which it is anxious to get rit of, that it cannot affect the pric, which the American raisers will re ceive. If they are therefore disposed to be reasonable it cannot be consid cred that the price guarantee is any thing but in their favor.

HUNTING THE DODGERS.

Tn connection. with the protests which are being made to the manner a which young men have bsen round 'd up in New York city in an effort 10 get hold of the draft evaders if ,annot fail to be recognized that there tre many cases in which an injustice aes been done to many who have been taken in under the practice of eorraling everyone who cannot pres- ent his registration card Of birth cer- tifcate.
 Such of course Is an incident to the manner in which the department of justice has considered it necessary to operate in order to overcome the habit cf lodging responsibility and to treat fairly those who have already been drafted into the army.
 The jailing Of innocent men and the keeping of them under lock and key until they can prove their hnno- renee. even though they may be resi- dents of other cities, operates as a hardship. It is case of making the many suffer with the few who have tVaded the law but such is a method which Is not practiced at any othe: time in seeing that laws are respect I'd. It Is even claimed that there is ho legal Authority for such sweeping operations.
 There can be no question but what the authorities are justified in taking Aeoessary steps to get those who have dodged registration or avoided the iraft. They deserve to be appre. ,ended wherever they can be fotint Sut 1t can be fully realised that tnos, lot involved in such operations oueh iot te be unjustiy treated.

in half hearted or ineffective way?
 This is war no matter how high our
 purpose or how disinterested. When
 we fight, we owe it to the cause, we
 owe it to. the soldiers we send to
 fight, we owe it to those we would aid,
 to use an adequate force.
 The Allied forces at the Arctic ports
 are threatened by Germans, Films and
 Bolsheyiki, They should be rein

 few thousand" of our announcement
 have grown, with 900 Canadians. to "A, 900 But we need more than those
 to help the anti-Gern1an Russians and the Sioyaks to gain control of the whole of the Siberian Railway.
 While the Bolsheviki are losing power and cohesion, while we confi- dently hope that Russian soldiers will flock to our standard as we advance, we would be most foolish if we sought in weak way to excuse what we are doing by using a small force, which might be trapped into a situation in which it's pititul numbers would cause it's ca ptnre or destruction. That which we now propose is military interyen- l tion, whatever we call it. It will create real eastern front. which even now exists in naScent form. If our action involves Russia in war against Germany. this is what we invite her to. IL will not add to her sad con : fusion or injury. Her present ahar- ci1y is worse than war, We are merely urging het to organize her self defense against GerTnany's attempt to subvert ] her independence.
 We, who are raising an army of millions of men. need not hesitate to send force of two or three hundred thousand men to form a nucleus of a new Russian army, to break Germany on that side. We shall thus reduce her western strength far more than we shall our own. It is vastly easier ] to redeem our pledge to save Russia 1 from Germany by kicking her out of Ruesia now, before a treaty of peace 1 than it is to put her out by enforce ment of treaty provisions afterward. l We may regret that we are "snuff1 ' ] ing in" to a policy of Hateful import 1 We may ask why we do not send an 1 American general of sufficient rank and experience ta command our forces i and head the expedition instead of a 1 Japanese general.

By circumstances and public opinion, we are agair pushed into a course first objected te and then adopted. We may have los
