Real estate interests arc not pleased
with the Mayors selection of Edward

tee winch is to urge special session
OF the State Legislature to be devoted
to the solution Of the rent problem
and the finding of means to punish rent
pro1lteers. Mr.. Hannah's connection
With the agitation for the freeing Of
Thomas Mooney in San Francisco Is
sufficient grounds for the belief, ac-
cordlng TO real estate men. that the
chaiIman IS biased and viii not see
the landlords side with fairness.
The reception given to landlords and
those who spoke for them at the hear
ing on the renting situation by the
Mayors Committee on Taxation was
taken by realty men to show that sen
liment IS strong against real estate in
terests, and that unless the mon steer

= Edward p. Doyle, president Of the
Soclety for the Prevention of Nunici-
pal Waste, and who is the spokesman
Tor organized real estate, in a state
ment issued yesterday. said that all
landlords have been branded as profit
eers because of the acts of a compare
tive few. They have been called thieves
and speakers at the Mayors commit
tee hearing called for physical vic.
ience upon them. Mr.. Doyle said the
purchasing power Of dollar mas
shrunk to forty cents in the last few
years, and that landlord who was
paid 81 room then is getting no more
real money now if he gets $40 room
The most frequent and the most
amusing suggestion is that the city
build and rent. If the city should
build and should charge rent as it
does for docks, to cover interest and
amortization. the rent charged by the
city would be at least 20 per cent
higher than the rent now charged by
the average landlord, on account of the
high cost of labor" and building mate
rials and the additional cost due to
city building
The real difficulty, aside from cur
rrency imitation. is this, according to
Mr.. Doyle: Working men and women,
pald double and treble what they were
before the war, will not live now as
they did then. The result is de-
creased demand for cold water tene-
ments and a tremendously increasing
demand for better apartments.

Small subscriptions are being re-
ceived in numbers greater than at any

To The School Children of America

Two years ago, as President of the United States and as President of the Red Cross, addressed to you letter in which I advised you to enroll in the newly organized Junior Red Cross, and explained to you some of the ways in which the Junior Red Cross would help you to be useful to your country and to the children of those countries which were associat- ed with us in great war against a powerful enemy. Millions of you did join the, Junior Red Cross and worked hard and what you did is warmly ap- preciated by the whole country.
 Now bN the blessings of God and through the faithful performance of duty by our soldiers and sailors and the soldiers and sailors of the countries by whose side we fought, . great victory has been won and the war is over, but am sure that you wish to continue to be useful to your country and to the children less for tunate than yourselves. Therefore, l am writing to you at the opening of the new school year to advise you to again join the Junior Red Cross, which has planned a work for peace times even larger and more syste- matic than the work done. during the war. .rr P
 The Junior Red Cross will instruct you in, ideals and habits of service, will show you how to be useful to your school how to aid the older peo- pie in your community in their efforts to promote the health and comfort of the people among whom you live, and how to help children who are still suffering from the effects of the great war in foreign lands invaded by the enemy. Y 1
 The recent war was the greatest of all wars, not only because more men and nations were engaged in it than any Iother war of history, but also because, as result of it, people have seen vision of different kind of world from the world of the past, a world in which nations shall unite for purposes of peace and good will as they formerly united only for war against an armed foe. In working for the children of other nations you will come to understand them better

A|RPLANES AND TRACK
 EVENTS FOR NORTHERN ARIZONA STATE FAIR

Colonel H. H. Arnold, commanding Rockwell Field, has definitely noti- fled the Arizona State Fair Associa- tion, that two government airplanes will be in Prescott for the Northern Arizona State Fair. This news will be received with joy by the hundreds of citizens in Northern Arizona, who have not yet had the thrill of witness ing one of the big birds in action. The landing field will be the same as selected by the aviators who have been in Prescott-that of the Target Range.
 The Fair Association is planning on making the 1919 Fair the best yet held by that organization. There will be many special attractions which will appeal to all. Band concerts will be rendered by a twenty piece band, at the grounds during the fair program, and on the Plaza, both morning and evening, of the three days festival.
 Lester Ruffner will have charge of the track programs and will have as his assistants: Shorty Davis and Grant Carter, who together with Cap tain Grant of Whipple are arranging one of the best track programs in the entire, Southwest.

$l,0O0,OOO WORTH
 THRIFT STAMPS SOLD

Washington, D. C., Sept. 27.-Total sales of War Savings Stamps through out the United States for the first seven months of 1919 amounted to nearly $1OO,00O,OOO according to re. port made by the Savings Division of the Treasury Department. The exact figure is $95, O,47O.21. This makes a per capita investment of, about nine ty cents whereas the Government at the beginning of the year asked q per capita purchase of $1O worth of War Stamps in order to meet war debts. .,.. .....
 'The saving of nearly 1OO,OO0,O00 in seven months is concrete proof that the Governments thrift campaign is checking extravagant expenditures" !" the report says. Checking of ex- travagant buying is the only remedy for high prices. Saving $1OO,000,OcO simply means cutting down demand by $1OO, 100000 and turning the money to much needed production of necessi- ties" ..I
 Leading economists of the country have said there is no hope of lower prices until the people understand generally that they must stop buying things that are not necessary and they have endorsed the United States campaign as the most effective renl- edy to that end. iJ.

There are now 29,643 motor cars in Arizona, according to the motor car licenses issued out of the office of the secretary of state up to Septem- Der 15. It is estimated by officials in that office that there will bs about 1,25O more motor licenses issued by the end of the year, making a total of 3D,893 for the year 1919.
 The number of motor car licenses issued last year was 23,905 thus show ing an increase this year of 6,98S.
 Some old license numbers on new motor cars have been noticed" de- clared a motor license official yester- day.

DEEP-SEA FISHING
 BY SEAPLANE

Sportsman of both coasts now have tried the seaplane as fishing boat, and found it good. The two New York fishermen who made the first trip the other day started late, but they were first on the grounds. They passed the plodding motor-boats--; considered, until now, remarkably swift-midway, and were among the schools of bluefish before their aston ished brother anglers came within hailing distance.
 However, the speed alone was not the thing that established the plane as fishing craft par excellence, but it's ability actually to locate the fish schools for the impatient anglers, by giving them the vision of great alt tude. eI,,
 A party of Los Angeles fisherncn found the seaplane most, valuable for the mileage it so rapidly consumed; for distances are long on the Pacific To the kelp beds of Santa Barbara is l50 miles. They made it easily and quickly, passing smoothly above un- pleasantly rough seas and landing on the calm waters of the weed bars, from whose well-stocked but unfrc, quented pockets they took as many fish as they cared to burden the plane with on the homeward trip. 2,
 A wonderful vista of brand-new sport opens with this application ot the seaplane.

 They were in Paris on the fourth of July and later they witnessed the peace celebration in London. Things are by no means normal on the other side of the water, said MT.
