WRONGFUL LIFTING
 , IF REPUBLICAN MUST CEAsE,,. Is WARNING


 Theft of the Arizona Republican from downtown screieu doors and residences further out has developed to such a degree that Cirtsulation Manager Oliver King. although flattered at the interest shown in the publication. has sworn to have the law on 'em.''
 MT. King stsites that from ten to fifteen copies of The Republican dis appear each day. the theft of which can be absolutely proved Others have been missing where proof of deliberate thievery is lacking.
 Many of the cases, he states. are due to newsboys. and others occur through the absent -mindedness of workmen on their way to work. With in few minutes in which to beat the morning whistle, they see copy of The Republican, wedged in screen door and stop to read it. Naturally engrossed in its contents, the whistle blows too soon. Alarmed. they jam the paper in their pockets and hurry on to punch the time clock, and when the subscriber comes down town at s o'clock thera is no Republican. Under those conditions, there is trouble. of course.
 The subscriber can't be blamed for making kick.
 Anybody would kick.

PHOEN|X MAY BUY. ARMY I OOD AND.
 GILL II 1T COST
City Commission Orders In- vestigation of Proposition to Lower, if Possible, the High Cost of Living

An investigation was started by the city commission yesterday as to the possibility of the city of Phoenix pur- chasing large amounts of United States army srores, to be sold to the people of Phoenix at co.it.
 Following the lead of Kansas City. Fl Pasc and other cities throughout the country, an effort may be made 70 alleviate conditions here pertaining 70 high prices 1t has been the plan in those places named to buy provisions in carload lots from the government sell them at cost and deliver to the door, by using police patrol wagons and fire trucka
 The city manager stated to the com mission yesterday afternoon that the matter had been brought to his atten- ton from several sources. and that the plan seemed tO be feasible.
 ' Authorize Investigation
 Commissioner Fred O. Adams stated he was heartily in favor of getting into communication with the govern ment and doirig all that is possible to supply food te the people at as low a price as possible. Commissioner Irvine eoncurred with him, as did Commis- sioner Henderson. MT. Henderson stated, though, that he had as yet heard no reference to such movement in Phoenix. and he thought that pos sibly il might be best to wait until a delegation appeared before the com mission and asked for such step.
 Commissioner Adams then moved that the city manager be authorized to take steps at once to investigate the proposition and make report to the city commission at the next regular meeting.
 Many Things Can Be Bought
 Commissioner Barnett. in speaking of the plan. stated he had been in Los Angeles, where the city was selling army bacon at cost It was selling at less than half the retail price there, but he was of the opinion that it was worth less than half, as it appeared to be a large percentage Of salt and fat. Ii was brought to his attention that undoubtedly flour, sugar and other staples. as well as bacon. could prob ably be purchased, all high grade and in good condition.

TEXAS O|L FIELDS CROWDED ID LIMIT
 WITH R|Cs AND MEN

Attorney J. E. Morrison returned yesterday from the Texas oil fields. where he had been summoned on legal business. There is no other such place in the world, ne said, and there was never another like 1t in any place of oil excitement that was ever heard Of There is lack of railroad facilities and the whole country is knee-deep with mud, so that supplies cannot De brought In the midst of all the oil that has been developed there people are paying a dollar a gallon for gas oline
 There is no pipe available for the drilling of many of the wells that are under way, or for the construction of pipe lines in many of the fields. That has brought drilling in those localities to standstill, for no one wants to bring in a well and cap 1t over. That ruins the well, so that it might as well have resulted in dry hole.
 Mir Morrison said it would be grat- flying news to many Arh:onians that the Aritex people have well on the D. " Hall lease. The well passed through sand that would yield about a 500- barrel well, but that was cased off and the drilling went on to depth of 2050 feet at the time Mir. Morrison was there and it was intended to sink it to depth of s,os0 feet. That well is un- der the direction of E. s. Hoad, who has put down many of the wells in the various fields. Another well is to be sunk on the same lease to the sand that had been encountered in this one. There is a pipe line there.
 Millions of dollars worth of gas, said Mfr. Morrison. is going to waste in the various fields. The only use that is made of it or can be made of it at present is to pipe it for the use of the rigs that are now drilling in the i'm mediate vicinity.
 One who has not been in the Texas fields, said Mir. Morrison. cannot get an idea of it from any description. The drilling rigs are crowding each other so that there is hardly room for op- eration;' it is country of derricks. The towns are sight, struggling and filtsy There is one there with single street, but what that town lacks in one dimension it makes up in another. It's single street $ seven milesI long, and on it is situated almost every imagin- able kind of business.
