One of the Resolves. "

1t is pleasant reading, this one
of the numerous resolutions pass
ed by the good citizens of Hol-
brook, when they became indig-
nant because the editor of the
Winslow Mail was not support
ing their pet candidate for coun-
ty attorney:
BE it further resolved, that
in case of his failure so to retract
the improper articles in question,
that complaint be made to the
Arizona State Council of Defense,
and application be made to the
Honorable Postmaster General of
the United States, to bar the said
Chapman and the said WinsloW
Mail from the use of the United
States Mail. +"
At the time these resolutions
were passed we stated that if
there were any retracting to be
done it would probably be by
these good people. The time for
meditation has come.

Income Taxes.

Forms for reporting income
taxes of less than $4,000, it has
been announced by the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, are
expected to be in the hands of
collectors for distribution not la
ter than Feb. 1st.
st may be definitely stated,
says the commissioner, that the
taxes for the calander year of
1918 will be collected under the
provisions Of the pending bill as
finally enacted, and not under
the provisions of the Act of Oc-
tober 3, 1917"
The conferees on the revenue
bill have made sufficient pro-
gress to warrant the bureau in
proceeding at once to print and
distribute forms for the collec-
tion of, the income tax of 1918.
In order to facilitate the work
of the bureau the conferees are
disposing as rapidly as possible
of those provisions of the bill d.
rectly affecting the form for re-
porting incomes Of less than
$4,000. Preparation of the other
forms is proceeding concurrently
with the work Of the conferees,
and it will be possible to have
them ready shortly after the en-
actment of the law.

zen to hero worshipping.

The biggest man in the repub-
lican party in this nation today is
eX-President VIM. H. Taft, and
he ought to be elected as the next
President of the United States.
But Mr.. Taft is most unfortunate
in being hard-headed practical
man, entirely devoid of grand
stand playing for popularity, and
it is very doubtful if he could be
elected If nominateds The Amer
ican people like to be bamboozled
with sky-rocketing and lurid
press agent-ing as their yard
stick for measuring a man, and
this is something Mr.. Taft never
would tolerate either as private
citizen or public official. He has
a clear. analytical legal mind, is
a close student of governmental
economics, and stands today as
the advanced thinker on league
of nations to enforce peace. Mr..
Taft believes the doctrines and
theories Of government are
worthy of serious consideration
and deep careful study, and there
is no place for pyrotechnics to
win popular applause. 1t is un-
fortunate for the country that
the American people do not take
this same view with Mr.. Taft
instead of following off some
empty barrel of eloquence with
out brains when making selec-
tion of presidential timber. Mr..
Taft ought to be the next Presi-
dent of the United States, and it
should be, an honor for the re-
publican party to go down to de-
feat with such an ideal candidate.

Perhaps it is time the good cit
izens of Holbrook called another
indignation meeting, and send
another delegation of represen-
tative citizens to Winslow to meet
our business men to provide ways
and means of suppressing the
Winslow Mail for saying things
about tt cir pet candidate for
county attorney. We are sure
our business men would be glad
to see them again. \.

made chairman of County and
County Affairs, and is a member

after these multifarious duties
will hardly give Mr.. Parr much

Where was e?

Instead of creating additional
judgeships in the state, it would
be the part of good judgment
and economy to reduce the num-
Der and district the state, At
present we have fifteen superior
judges, but with the state divid-
ed into eight districts ten judges
could easily handle all the court
business and give the people bet
ter service.

The legislature is again going
to thresh out the proposition that
certain words and music be made
the state anthem, bill having
been introduced for that pur-
pose. This is important legisIa
tion, and all other bills should be
sidetacked to give it right of
way. Every member should be
compelled to learn to sing the
thing, whatever it is, to see how
they like before indicting the
public. Why they are at it,
why not the legislature adopt a
state drink to take the place of
the one banished by the prohibi-
tion amendment?

Why all this agitation about
furnishing employment to the re-
turning soldier boys? When the
boys were called into service and
were marching away to fight for
a worlds democracy, employers
everywhere were loudly proclaim
ing that when the men returned
their old places would be waiting
for them. Have the employers
lost their loyal patriotic fervor in
the cause? 1t is true that many
of our poor lads are coming back
MANNED and broken in health,
untitled probably to take up their
former work, and these are those
who who should receive govern
ment assistance even to the point
of giving them substantial pen
sion that will forever free them
from the battle for existence.
Those who return in vigor and
strength are entitled to their
former positions with all the Sc
nority rig h is and increased
wages, and to bar them out is
hardly shooting straight in the
the game. We are glad to know
that the Santa Fe railroad is one
of the big institutions that is
playing the game square, and
giving all the returning boys
their old places with all the ben
efits accruing since they marched
away.

The Winslow Mail was the on

The Winslow Mail was the only
paper in Navajo county that sup
ported Mr.. Larsen for county
attorney at the late election, be-
cause we knew he was clean,
moral citizen, and a conscien-
tious official, even though at
times he was not very diplomatic
in some of his official transac-
actions. The editor has no re-
grets for the stand he took in
that campaign.

Somegood democrat in the leg
islature, probably with an eye on
a federal appointment, introduc-
ed resolution inviting President
Wilson to make a visit to Arizo-
ma, preferably during the session
of the legislature, designating
the President as 'the worlds
greatest leader" There was
some objection to the use of that
term. but why be fnicky about
it? The legislature could pass
the same bill and apply it to Ho-
mer Wood, the Yavapai county
professional labor leader who
never labors. There are always
a certain number of freaks in
the legislature, and people won-
der sometimes how they reached
the capitol without a guardian,
and it is to be presumed the pres
ent session is no exception to the
rule. SOLDERING over any pub
lie man with fulsome praise adds
nothing to his popularity, and is
disgusting to thinking people not
given to hero worshipping.

Our readers will remember that
T. R. Greer, who is now rafting
around in the office Of the county
attorney like a dried pea in a

itor of the Winslow Mail for $15,-

If he would put in more time
reading law and less time to
crawling under a bed, he might
in time be credit to his profes-
sion.

New Army to Edu-
cate Enlisted Men
VIII Also Take Over Welfare
and Recreationaa Features

The new American army is to be
a democratic institution having for
its purposes not merely the defense
of the country but also the upbuild-
ing of the moral and intellectual
character Of the men composing it,
Secretary of War Baker announces.
The military training will include
also educational advantages which
might not otherwise be available to
young Americans, he says.
It is planned to put recreational
and athletic activities in charge of
officers who will be expected to in
terest themselves in the general
welfare of the soldier. The new
army will develop not only good
soldiers but also good citizens, Sec
retary Baker says. Provisions for
the mental, spiritual and physical
we'll being of the men will be so
broad and liberal that parents will
be glad to have their sons profit by
military training.
Explaining why the War Depart
ment has decided to take charge of
the recreaticnal as we'll as the pure
1y military functions of the army,
Secretary Baker said:
| do not believe the army has
right to throw itself on the be-
nevolence of the country and allow
others to appeal for funds to do for
the soldiers things which the Gov
ernment itself ought to do. None
of the welfare agencies can con-
tinue this work unless subscrip-
tons are made in response to ap-
peals to enable them to do for the
soldiers things which by necessary
inference the Government is not
doing"

The Rise of Silver

In every Western state silver is
the chief hope for a revival in pre-
cious metal mining after four years
of very scant development, with
little or nothing accomplished be-
cause of the scarcity of labor and
the marked inefflciency of the labor
available. The recent unpreceden-
ted rise in price shows the present
world demand,
New York financial journals ad-
vocate investments in the western
silver industry as an opportunity
to profit by the world wide demand
for a commodity of which we are
the greatest producers,
Every dollar of silver produced
is a dollar of new wealth created.
Every dollar of silver exported to
meet the demandi Of other coun-
tries is a dollar of new wealth add
ed to Our country.
The bright outlook for silver
makes it again fashionable and per
missible to speak hopefully of min
ing, the ladder by which Western
states climbed from the Great
American DESERT" to pronlsln g
fields for profitable investment.
The number of mining enter
prises at present under way in ives
tern states backed exclusively by
outside capital means much to1
the years to come, when our spasms
of economic experiment shall have
run their course and affairs get
back to normal.
