The Pouperized Soldier Boy

One of the things the people in general cannot understand is why the government is sending thousands of wounded soldiers home without pay. Many of them have not received pay for several months. There is a great todo about helping the returned soldier to a job; much has been said about keeping them from 'over-doIng the holiday ]" keep the soldier pure, write to them often. :" We are impor tuned by official mail in great quantities just how to help the returning soldier, also to make liberal purchases of liberty bonds to help the soldiers home. "From the present indications. the sol dier boy has been made the goat" to not only bear the bur den of the war, but also in help ing out the splendid ineficiency when it comes to his mail, his pay for service, and many of them are going to enquire into the reasons for being an object of charity, while the government owes them money they have earned.
 It is all right to pull all the publicity stuff as to what we should do for our boys when they return, but what are the high brow" elements drawing govern ment salaries doing?
 Why can't the boys at least get their pay for service rend- ered?"
 Every liberty bond holder feels that he did his share and put up his money to see that "our boys" got everything that could be given them.
 When they do not get their pay and the comforts we thought we were giving them. are we compelled to believe that it is all on account of government cffic- lency2s''
 The lives of "our boys" are more valuable than any job that a pin headed clerk" could ever get; yet, that same pompous in- dividual can cause more unnec- essary deaths than all the dirty Huns could. Flagstaff Sun.

HOIbrOok Man Interested
 In Some BigIIProjects

(Los Angeles Times, Dec. 2S, 1918.)
 ". H. Clark of Los Angeles. it became known yesterday. is head of a group of capitalists that is behind a power project in Arizona that contemplates the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to furnish
 juice" to many cities and in- dustries of the Hassayampa State
 The new Navajo railroad to Cooley, in the heart of the Black Mesa forest. seYenty-two miles southwest of Holbrook. passes very near a big lignitesscoaD field, in character very similar to that at Gallup. N. M. A number of sec tions of the coal measures were located, mainly by Prescott resi- dents, before the Department of the Interior hurriedly withdrew the rest of the field from loca- tion. For years these Prescott locations have been maintained, in the hope of railroad communi- cation at some time. The new lumber roadEnow offers the op- portunity.
 It is now proposed to build a short spur to the coal fields. for the marketing of the best of the coal, but the Clark plans are far more extensive than this. They contemplate establishment on the fields of 2 large plant. where the
 mine run" of coal will be burned for the generation of steam, this to be in turn trans- formed into electric power. which 1t IS proposed to be wired to Globe and Miami, seventy-fiye miles to the southward, to points on the Santa Fe and even to the mining districts around Pres colt. It is estimated that the power will be secured at the cheapest cost ever known in the Southwest from anything save hydroeieetric plants and that it can be sold at profit when wired to points several hundred miles distant.
 There is local hope also of the development of oil. in a field a few miles distant from Holbrook. The Hopi company has resumed drilling after idleness of a month, mainly due to snow; the Adam ana company is installing new casing and the Holbrook com pany has purchased a drilling rig from the almost abandoned Del Rio field, north of Prescott.

SUFFRAGE IN VERMONT.

Barring veto by the governor, an
unexpected development, the women of
Vermont can vote for presidential
electors in the next presidential cleo
ton. The bill giving them this right
was passed by strong majorities in both
houses of the legislature. In this ac
ton the legislature of 1919 has made
for itself special distinction. 1t was not
new question for a Vermont legisla-
ture, the women having asked this priv
ilege for many years. But former leg
islaturcs would pass the bill IN one
house and then concentrate the force of
both bodies to have the other house kill
it. This Legislature did nothing of
that kind but each chamber threshed
the matter out for itself and voted its
convictions.
1t has been long and discouraging
fight. First women paying property
taxes were given the right to vote for
school officials Then tax paying wom-
en- were given the right to vote in town
meetings; and now any woman twenty
one years of age can vote for president
A woman cannot vote for state or
county officers or on the question of
license. Ultimately she viii be given
this right, but not until the constitu-
ton of the state is amended

reads:

! States, or has been naturalized agree

| tion of representatives, and who is OF
a quiet and peaceful behavior, and will
take the following oath or affirmation
shall be entitled to all the privileges
of freeman of this state:'

A Patriotic Legislature.

We congratulate the majority of the
representatives of the Vermont legislature
on the spirit of progress, fair play and
broad vision they have shown in eonnec-
ton with the measure to extend to the
women of Vermont the right to vote for
presidential electors. There are two kinds
Of Republicans in Vermont today, Just
as there are two kinds of Democrats. The
one advances: the other recedes. No
party, no individual can stop going, and
not be left behind by the procession of
progress There is no such thing as stand
ing still in our civilization You are
either going ahead or you are falling be
hind.
Vermont is going ahead Despite the
efforts of few reactionary Republicans
the people of the Green Mountain State
have patriotically determined to think and
act as well as to stand for political Jus
tice The verdict of coming generations
and Of history viii be that this Vermont
| legislature thus wrote its name large il

real advancement of our people as a gen

reason especially; to have your children
