WHO'S TO BLAME?

In the encouragement of certain
classes of labor to demand unreal
sonable wage scales the government
must share mart of the blame, says
he Houston. Texas, Post for its war
lime policy of paying big wages for
little work. and yielding to almost
every demand Of workers on war
jobs, has had no little to do with
lnscttling the industrial situation
and giving many people false con-
ceptions of the value Of their serVi-
ces.

The result of this sudden and alb
normal rise in wage scales by the
government was TO force other IN
dusrries to hoist wages o. close up.
That process Of wage raises and
consequent price raises was thus
begun which has continued until it
has created a serious situation for
the great mass of unorganized peo-
pie, who are employed neither by
the government nor the big indus
tries which pass their costs along to
the people.
1t must be admitted, Of course,
that the governments work had TO
be done. but at the same time 1t IS
apparent now that the government
was not firm enough in resisting
the demands CT people which ire
quentiy were unreasonable, and
that it was unwise, even III an emer-
gency, to squander money as it did
in its preparations for war.
All this has contributed TO the
high cost of living.

GLENDALE GROWTH
IS REMARKABLE:
25O0 WITHIN CITY

GLENDALE, Ariz., Dec. 5.-Takins
advantage of the splendid weather
following the week of storm, Glen
dale's building program has been re-
sumed with a rush. Fully 100 houses
are being constructed or are planned
and awaiting carpenters, the supply
of which just now is far below the
demand. In the meantime many are
forced to resort to tents, a number
Of which now dot the town, while
motor parties arriving are camping
beside their autos pending the secur-
ing of a house. giving the town, OF,
the whole, much the appearance of
a boom town in a Texas oil field.
AS soon as the many houses under
way are completed the present crowd
ed conditions will be much relieved
and because not only old residents
but newcomers see the opportunity
for profitable investment in this line
! 1t is expected that, once the more
pressing demand is relieved, the build
ing will keep apace of the growth
which today is at more rapid rate
| than at any time in the previous his
/ tory of Glendale.
! That this is no idle statement is
Arizona republican., 1919-12-05

borne out by figures compiled by
Town Clerk H. G. White, who reports
the demand for water taps and lights
indicates an increase in population Of
approximately 100 per cent the past
year. Statistics gathered through the
school superintendents and the com
mercial club show that while Glendale
had a population of but 1900 at the be-
ginning of the year there are now full
ly $500 residents within the town
limits.
This remarkable growth is attrib-
uted to the fame of the Salt River
valley being spread broadcast by the
various civic organizations of the
county; TO the big returns being Sc
cured from cotton and other crops.
many local ranchers having secured
net returns of as high as $3.50 an acre
this season; to the justly famous CHI
mate; to the general prosperity of the
district, all lines of business and farm
ing showing excellent returns, and to
the fact that Glendale, because prop
erty is still comparatively cheap here,
| and because of its rapid upbuilding
offers greater opportunities in bust
ness, ranching or investment, than dc
the other towns from which the new
arrivals come.
While much has been done the pas
year to increase the desirability o.

community as a whole, has barely
launched its Improvement program
which includes the beautifyin~ of ths

What might have resulted in a far
more serious accident took place last
night when the Oakland roadster
driven by Dean Pulsifer collided with
a runaway team. The team belonged
to John Slithcoff, Russian, who had
left the horses standing on the street.
The horses were hitched to a large
rack. Becoming frightened they start
ed to run in the general direction of
their home which is west of Glendale.
Near Mayer Tinker's residence on
West Washington street they ran
head-on into Mr. Pulsifer's car, says
Pulsifer. The car was wrecked, being
badly trampled by the team, he states.

GERMAN WEDDING
REMINDS HIM OF
AN ELKS' PARADE

Corporal Stanley Whitley" A
Tullsen, Company /. Thirty-ninth
\. s. infantry, American expedi-
tionary forces, is stationed in Ger
many and a little of the whole lot
Of what he thinks of that, country
is told in a letter TO Moline
friends.
Whitley says that his company is
billeted in a large home, five boys
in one room and he speaks fire.
Quently of the scenery and people,
but they are not comparable to the
United States and its people, he
writes. Here's what he has to
say about a German wedding that
reminded him of an Elks' parade
in Moline:
We had a wedding here this
morning just for variety. 1t look
ed like an Elks' parade. The priest
marches at the head of the pro-
cession. bareheaded. Then the
bride and bridegroom and all the
mourners following, marching in
twOs. The priest carries big
banner and the whole layout
chants or means as it marches
along After one look at the bride
felt like doing some moaning my
self
Il suppose you'd like some in
side information about the frau
leins and all the STYLES over here,
but the fashion dope is where l
limp. Most of the maidens look as
though some one with poor aim
threw their clothes at them and
they stuck, and they're well equip
ped with feet. Here and there is a
goodlOOking one, but they're far
behind the French madOmiselles,
and of course much farther be-
hind those of Moline.
I'VE have recreation room here
now, where we can read and write.
and they hold boxing and musical
shows once or twice a week Last
night we had a minstrel show and
today a band concert, so we pass
the time fairly well.
Last Monday our regiment held
review. and at the close our reg
imental cOlOrs were decorated with
the crOiX de guerre. This was
conferred on the regiment by the
french government and it'S quite
an honor. as very few regiments
have been so decorated 1t was

man positions in the battle of the
