 FORGE CITIZENSHIP
TRepublican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Represen- tatives of foreign born residents of the United States told the America niza- ton conference of the interior depart ment today, that native Americans have much to learn in attempting to make citizens of aliens. Sharp criti- cism of the contempt exhibited by some persons toward foreigners, and of the general ignorance in this country of European racial differences, was ex- pressed by the speakers.
 Warning was given by several speak CTS that no attempt should be made to force American citizenship on an alien, this country was attempting to sub merge minority nationalities, as was attempted in Austria Hungary and other despotic countries.
 Albert Nfammaty, of Pittsburg, was insistent that no effort should be made to force foreign born residents or citi- zens to discard the use of their native tongue. If American ideals could be expressed in English" he said, what patriots would be Emma Goldman, Vic tor Berger and the I. W. W, compared with hundreds of men who died in France for the liberty of this country. Don't suppress the foreign language press, in the idea that you are making Americans of it's readers. The foreign press is read almost exclusively by those who came to this country as adults, not by their children, born here ! and speaking and reading English from childhood For the former. their na- tive language papers are essential

 Mir. McAdoo alluded to criticism of government ownership of the railroads. Referring to the time when the gov ernment took over control of the rail roads. he said:
 Why, gentlemen. I found that men were getting as little as s57 a month. on which to maintain families. The situation on the railroads was a. dis grace to America. America took ad- vantage of this opportunity to do a great service to humanity We hear criticisms of the government control of the railroads and are told that they serve better under private ownership. If what I learned while I had control is a good answer. then such criticism is false"

MINNEAPOLIS, May 14.-Minnea- polls millers declared tonight that al though the United States Grain cor poration may provide the mills with less expensive wheat from Canada, they did not believe it would be pos sible for them to reduce flour prices sufficiently to make decreased bread prices possible.

This is about 40 cents less than the price the millers have been paying here recently. i Millers declare that if the grain cor poration purchases only a small quan- tity of wheat from Canada, as an nounced, the supply will not be sui - ficiently large to bring about a reduc- tion in flour prices.

REAL Y MEN IF
 ENDORSE ROADS PROGRAM
Also Vote To Close For Road Bond Election Saturday Will Furnish Cars For Voters

They are unanimously and enthusi- astically for the good roads bonds and the construction of the PIP miles of raved roads in Maricopa county-are the members Of the Maricopa County Real Estate board
 Last evening, at their monthly, din ner and conference held in the War Work building, they stood up en masse when asked to express their approval of the road building program. Not a dissenting voice was raised.
 More than that, they voted unani- mously to close every real estate office in the county on Saturday, election day and to set out with all their cars and work to get out the vote.
 The Meeting
 The meeting of the real estate board was an enthusiastic one throughout The realtors are in the best of moods, for the very simple reason that sales and transfers are frequent, which adds to the prosperity, not only of the deal CTS, but of the community as we'll, In fact, as one man present put it, "The real estate transfers in any community is an excellent barometer of the busi- ness condition of the community ! Dwight E. Heard, president of the ! board, presided. After the dinner was | consumed and everybody had made | themselves comfortable, Senator Will | kinson, president of the Phoenix Title and Trust company, spoke on the diff ference between title insurance policies and certificates of title.
 He sketched the history of real es- tate transfers and of the various methods of running down titles. Ger tificates of title" said Senator Wil1in- I Ioxn u opinion that it was all right, after he had spent considerable time looking up the records. Then lists were prepared from which opinions were rendered then abstracts and certificates of title, and finally, title insurance, conceded to be the best form of all.
 Title insurance is based on the rec ords only, and is not merely an opinion, It holds all parties harmless and guar antees the value. The limited policy is limited merely to the time covered and the unlimited policy covers the title from the beginning"
 The board was next entertained by some well rendered and snappy sonY numbers by Alan Campbell, son o1 Gov. Thomas F. Campbell, who had been drafted" to help entertain the realtors.

AS a whole the prices generally asked
for commodities, produced even here in

The Government fixes a certain fee for

deal in the sale Of goods. That license
also binds the holder to conduct his bust

ing as it does, quite a large proportion of
people. 1t is the device for closing the
w. C's., a cover hinged on and provided
with a fulcrum whereby it is prevented
from being left open. When opened the
shutter rests against the back of the
person and apart from being in many
instances uncomfortable, it should be
apparent that such an arrangement is I'M
clean and quite at variance with sanitary
ideas. 1t should be clear that a wooden
shutter must to a certain extent absorb
the odor and harbor germs from the
pit over which it is continually placed,
and common sense revOlts against the
plan or having that nasty board ret on
ones clothes. And it can be otherwise,
because the shutter is so fixed that it
cannot remain erect nor can it fall back

to break off this odd fixture, is it not
possible that they can be trusted with a
loose cover which they can remove and
replace at will ?
