Something Badly Needed

The state of Florida went dry yesterday Not only did conventional prohibition law against the manufacture sale and transportation of liquor be- come effective but also Q law against intoxication rnakina, the user as well as the seller criminal. In some states the mere possession of intoxicating liquor is made a crime We do not believe that prohibition can be given full effect without such provision So long as citizens and citizens of standing
 make no concealment of the fact that they have liquor in their possession, in many cases openly Haunting he possession of it. the failure of prohibition is ad- yertised It is confession that the crime of boot egging is going on and that the booeggers being encouraged by persons who ordinarily observant of the laws In such circumstances, the officers charged with preventing the importation transporta- ton and sale however vgilant they may be. cannot wholly prevent these violations of the law
 It is true that the measure of prohibition we have realized from the very imperfect inadequate Law we have has been of inestimable benefit to the state. It has put intoxicating liquors out of the reach of thousands, who thus have more money to spend for their families. It has removed tempta- ton from the popuace. Many man would drink and probably become a drunkard if liquor was easily accessible but he put himself out of his way 10 become a drunkard.
 The federal government after July ot thls year. will probably adopt stringent regulations to make prohibition effective and doubt these regulations will he continuous when the federal prohibition amendment becomes effective Then the mere pos session of liquor would be a violation of the law
 It would be to the credit of Arizona if it should clean it's own house. and it will do if the incoming legislature really wants prohibition to prohibit.
 't The foregoing observations We believe, will be of force to those who witnessed the attendant upon the outgoing of the old There was never d wilder scene on a New Years Eve in the old saloon days The year 1918 was in some respects malodor- ous one especially in the matters of bloodshed and human misery. Still, do not think it was quite proper to celebrate it's departure with drunk on bootleg whisky Anyway. that not good way to begin the New Year.

PHEN|X bOY TELLS IF CELEBRATION IN
 PARIS AT ARM|ST|CE

Quite a bit has been written descrip- tive of the celebration in Paris upon the occasion of the final victory of the allies. The viewpoint of the sol dier participation has been neglected to q certain extent but this condition IS remedied by a letter from Elmer Rohm, 0 nephew of the local author, Charles BernetZke, of Cactus Blos- sons" fame.
 The writer differs materially from the dozens of others who have mailed back their impressions of the event. he admits he was kissed, and liked it. The letter follows:

The Enforcement of Peace

A League to Enforce Peace is or may be quite a different thing from League or Nations one Of whose obpiects may be to enforce peace The latter though that is essentially his chief object may be too complicated to carry out any of it's purposes. The machinery may lack the necessary simplicity. Be- fore any enforcement of peace would be begun by a league of nations, there would be effort to avoid the employment of force; to settle by mediation or arbitration the thing which peace. It would be only when mediation and arbitration should fail that rhe league would to force. It could not be expected that mediation arbitration would al ways succeed There should always, therefore, be power sufficient to enforce the mandates of an arbitration court As this general plan, there can be no disagreement. It is not really plan, but a statement of the purpose to be attained.
 President H. H. Gross of the Universal Military Training league, suggests plan to back any league upon which the nations may agree. He would take the German navy the nucleus of navy to enforce peace to which should be added from the naves of nations in the league sufficient vessels to make the Enforce Peace navy equal to that of any ether country with 100000 marines attached to it and 5O0,0OO under it's control'
 The further machinery to put the league on working basis is thus set forth

A Certain Local Effect


 Every now and then some Arizona newspaper ad- vocates government ownership of the railways. Demo- cratic newspapers we believe have generally endorsed the proposition extend the government administra the railways a period of five They moved, of course, only by the recommendation of Mr. McAdoo for a fve-year extension. If he had ad vised an extension of twenty-five years, such advice party reasons, would have produced like endorsement
 Regardless of the merits of either proposition, government ownership five year extension of the federal administration of the roads, take into account the effect either upon locally Of effect should finally determine the policy of the government. The Salt River Valley important it is to us is only very small and unmportant part the country and welfare could not properly be considered against that of all the rest of the country So that what is hereinafter said is not said in the Of argument against government ownership MT. McAdoo's proposition. It is merely statement of local contingency.
 Phoenix and the Salt River Valley have long looked forward a mainline railroad. For years an esteemed contemporary has declared conspicuously that Phoenix Must and Will have a main line rail- road" Now under government direction of the roads for five years with uncertainty the policy of the government at the end of that period who would trouble to build mainline railroad?
 Under government direction there been railroad building except extensions into localities where the facilities for handling the traffic were in adequate. Generally, though, the government found no need for additional facilities It found that there were more roads in territory than were needed even under the stress of the last year.
 We could hardly expect the government to engage in railroad building in the Salt River Valley. Though we have no mainline road; though without many facilities We desire and without which town as important as Phoenix and valley as rich as the Salt ought have it would be difficult to con- vince the government that the two branch roads which now serve us cannot handle all the traffic originating or to be delivered here.
 Whatever policy with respect to railroad exten sons might be adopted by a L. s. railroad administra ton would in all probability be followed under gime of govrnment ownership We could hardly pec the government build railroads for the develop ncnt of new communities to increase the develop alton has been the result of private initiative The government sometimes comes in to help and to serve existing needs.
 But whatever may be done with the railroads. if the government should return them to their owners it should not relax the it has established them but on the contrary should make it rigid than ever
 Though popular expectation has not been met by the governments management of the roads it has ait bare a good deal of mismanagement, and waste o mileage by the private owners. These things and al other evils should be under the srictest ernment control

l, ], PRICES STAY .0N COTT0NSEED' AND PRODUCTS.
Government Food Admin
 istration Announces It Will Not Relax Regula-
 tion; Agrees On Schedule

The United States food administra- ton will not relax the price regulations on cottonseed and cotton seed products. At the state headquarters 1t was pos itively stated that the cotton seed pro. gram is one Of the few that the food administration is not relaxing as lar as price regulations go.
 Under the price schedule agreed upon and made official by the food ao- ministration, the crushers must pay the growers $66 a ton for cottonseed III carlots and $63 a ton in less than car lots The products of the mills cannot be sold in excess of the following prices: Meal in ton lots, $51 per ton; in less than ton lots S53. Hulls m car lots $10 per ton; hulls less than car lots SIP per ton. Cottonseed cake Si0 per ton.
 Prices Effective Here
 These prices are effective for the Phoenix and Yuma zones' The food administration IS confldent of a. continuation of present prices. This is indicated in a letter received by the state office from the cotton dl- vision at Washington, which reads ID ! part as follows:
 Tt appears to us that there will De i sufficient demand to mantain the pres 1 ent stabilized prices. Of course no i one can guarantee this, but the food i administration is CO., operating In every way possible to accomplish this re- suit Recent permits have been grant ed for export of 100000 tons of meal and 1000 tons, equal to about 25,0Vt barrels. of cottonseed oil. Indications are that the exporting of this surplus together with other probable exports later on, will have the effect of main-
 taining the present stabilized price or
 these commodities.
