DEMOCRATS Will
SPLIT-LEWIS

James Hamilton Lewis, former SEN
ator and Democrat whip, has been
speaking in middle western states In
behalf OF the peace treaty and the
league of nations, but has found
situation which is threatening defeat
for the Democrat party. At least this
was his observation on reaching
Washington the other day. r@M
For the Democrats / prophesy
that IL the party does not soon have
harmonious union in Congress TO
hold them together in politics" said
Mr.. Lewis, they will have two can
didates for President in 1920 II VIII
split on the peace treaty. and league,
as the Democracy did at the 1896 con-
vention on the gold and silver issue
and as Republicans did in 1912 on
the Taft old guard and the Roosevelt
lprogressives. The Republicans will
split in sentiment on the league and
treaty. but the desire to get back in
, to power will hold them together in
politics. They remember the exper-
fence of 1912.
"rhe Democrats are confronted
with the Irish as an intelligent and
militant force of the party, in large
numbers opposed to features OF the
treaty, and league. The German
Democrats are certain OF the Italian
and foreign nationality Democrats
likewise are opposed to the treaty
because OF the terms put on their
countries. To these must be added
the great number Of citizens Of the
party long educated to our policy of
national isolation.
"One wing OF our party will adopt
the Andrew Jackson policy. President
jackson, hating Spain over Florida.
cursing France over Louisiana and
breathing vengeance on all England.
following his battle at New Orleans,
laid the policy Of Stay in your own
yard.
This Jackson wing will be led by
w. r. Hearst and his great publica-
tions, aided by former Senator Bailey
of Texas and Henry Watterson for
the south, and Democrats Of the west
such as Senator Reed OF Missouri and
Colonel George Harvey Of New York
and others. Those for the Wilson
policies will remain as the concrete
party organization. claiming that the
treaty and peace league should be
ratified and enforced to the letter to
keep faith with the purposes for
which the United States entered the
war"

WHY COPY AFTER RUSSIA?

The Plumb plan for distribution of u.
S. railroads is that the workers must
own the roads" The |. w. w and Bolshe-
vik idea is that the workmen supplant
the present owners and managers Of all
industries and be given the "fulP retarn
of their labors.
Lenine and Trotzky accomplished this
result in Russia and the workmen ran the
industries-into the ground and them
selves out of job.
Disciples of Lenine and Trotzky are
preaching the same doctrine to American
workmen but they do not explain that it
is now necessary to try and bring back
capital and managers to Russia to put life
into the industries wrecked under the
workmens' management.
The reason for the failure Of the expert
ment is simply this: Human nature is the
same in Russia as elsewhere. Everybody
favored the socialistic regime when no
one had anything to lose by it. That is
everyone favored equal division when
they had nothing of their own to divide.
But as soon as man obtained a little
economic Roadway, we wanted to keepit;
he did not want to divide it; he resented
being compelled to give up what he had
made.
Lenine himself has summed it up in a
nutshell. He said: Gas a worker, the
peasant is a socialist; but as corn seller
he is burgeOis."
The rank and file Of American work
men are well educated men, Surely they
can see where the present program of
the radical labor leaders and politicians
will bring them.
Now is the time to listen to reason be-
fore we have duplicate of the Russian
situation in this country.

CONSTRUCTIVE BANKING PRO-
CRAM

Bankers these days are racking their
brains how to improve the service their
institutions are rendering the community.
There is no line OF business or commun-
ity service that is highly organized to help
the public today as banking.
Bankers are studying how to reach out
the helping hand to legitimate enterpris-
es and efforts at community building.
While there is strife between capital
and labor, largely fomented by labor agi-
tators, there can be no free movement Of
capital into industrial development. But
there is constructive line bankers are
taking thought upon and that is the en-
couragement of capital going into the
housing situation.
During the war period all building not
absolutely necessary was discouraged
and there is today shortage of at least
a million homes in our country. This
means that thousand million dollars
must go into new houses or on an average
of sixty million dollars in each state and
banks must furnish the capital.
There are plenty of building lots, plen-
ty of material in the lumber states of the
west, and there is going to be plenty of
labor this coming winter unemployed.
What better line can banks take up than
helping clients with capital or credit to
finance, pla and erect buildings that are
needed by the sc0re in every community?

RIGHT TO THE POINT

Colonel ii. M. BylleSby lays bare the
meat OF the treaty question when he says:
'"rhe trend Of events in the utility situa-
ton is one which should command our
most earnest. thoughtful and active atten
ton. 1t seems to me that our laws should
be so adjusted as to enable these conlpan-
les to make such fair return upon their
investment as will enable them to find
capital continuously for the further ex-
tension of their enterprises which the
growth of the community served and the
improvements in the art render increas-
ingly necessary. These laws and regula-
tions at the hands of Commissions or 9TH
er properly authorized bodies should en-.
courage in every proper way the spirit of
entarnrise and nrovide some profitable
return beyond the mere bare interest on
the cost of the properties in order to bring
to bear the verv best inventive and crter-
prising capacities of all those engaged in
this business.
"If utilitv companies are to be allowed
ell SconA For the exercise of ingenuity,
they must be allowed not only standard
return for the capital invested in other
enterprises of an at all similar nature, but
in addition to this some fair, reasonable
allowance to compensate for the exercise
OF painstaldng continuous industry, in
genuity and enterprise"

CARRANZA PAYS A BILL

Rev. DR.. Henry Allen Upper, former
President of the New York Baptist con-
ference, and now a pastor in Washing,
ton, asserts that the money paid to him by
Carranza was for expenses incurred al
the rate of SO day for services in CON
nection with the supervision of an inter
natioal peace forum. The check which
Rev. Tupper received, and which was
placed in evidence before the Senate sub
committee investigating Mexican affairs,
was for So, 40066 and was paid over to the
Calranza government by Edward DohenY
as part payment of the "bar dues" at
Tampico of Doheny's oil company. Ac-
cording to Tupper's testimony, he APP
pears to have gone 1888 1-2 days without
compensation, when, by some strange CO.
incidence a check was discovered and in
dorsed over to him which exactly killed
the bill The Rev. Upper was fortunate
in getting anything out of Carranza. Col.
House must envy him.

WRSTERN RNET SUGAR

stories and state that the western beet

Whether their is real shortage as

whether the whole scare was brought on

SerNice Section


 The service section makes the fol- lowing report; for the fiscal year No Yember ], 1917, to Nov. l, 1918.
 This statistical report will cover only the work of the local chapter and not include any of the branches.
 The service section of the Tempe branch has been very active through out the year and during the influenza epidemic the committee under the di- rectOn of the chairman, Rev. J. R- Rountree, has had practically the en- tire charge of the relief work. They were instrumental in having the hospi- tai established and many of the home service workers acted as nurses as well as investigators and visitors The chairman has been in touch with every family of men in service in his com munity and rendered assistance wher- ever needed.
 The service work in Mesa was con- ducted under the able direction Of the chairman of the branch, Rev Frances Bloy until September, at which time he removed to Globe. Since that time John Cummard has continued in the same course and acted as chairman of the branch and of the service section.
 Other branches which are doing act i've service work are Florence. Ray, Chandler and Glendale. The Wicken- burg branch is not organized for this work but has given assistance 10 fami- lies in need.
 The following is the statistical report of the local chapter work of the service section:
 Number of different families. includ ing discharged men receiving service, S17.
 Total number of different families served in any manner, SIS.
 Total disbursements for home service to date. $2,49.85.
 Number of discharged men served by themselves or jointly with their fami- lies, 34.
 Home service workers available, 12
 Number cases receiving hospital or sanitarium care, 29. Executives. . (volunteer).
 Supervisors, visitors, interviewers, F (volunteer).
 Clerks, stenographers, etc, ]. Consultants, lawyers physicians, etc members Maricopa Bar association members Medical association, members Dental association-
 There should be some explanation oi the above report as one will note the ! amount of expenditures seem low for the amount of relief given.
 Soldiers Cared for
 Thirty-four discharged soldiers have been cared for by this section, r oi whom have been in sanitariums at the weekly rate of from s15 to SIS per week. Twelve of these men have beer cared for in St. Luke's home at the weekly rate of SIS. but none of this amount shows in the above report, due 1 to the fact that soon after the organ ization of this section, it was found that the problem of the soldier dis

 By far the larger majority of these men were not indueted into the servics from Phoenix but have come here on account of favorable climatic condi- tions.
 Professional Men Loyal
 Other cases handled by this section are cases of illness where doctors have had to be provided. Just here nav eve report that the professional men have been most generous in the contribution of their services. There have been many operative cases as well as medi- cal. Dentists and attorneys have alike given of their profession for the service section.

 Was Biggest Year
 T. is not the least surprising, there fore, that the chapter of the American Red Cross enjoyed the greatest year oe ifs history in 1918. Realization Of the wonderful work carried on by the Red Cross made every American citi- zen a ready subscriber to any war fund campaign inaugurated. Support was never lacking and Maricopa county residents honored themselves in the manner in which they over subscribed every Red Cross campaign held in this community. The various Red Cross circles in other cities of the valley as well as in the outlying districts covered themselves with glory by donating their time and money unstintingly to the work
 Work of the American Red Cross is almost too broad in scope to be fully set forth here, but mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, wives or sweethearts of service men can appreciate. more fAly than anyone else, just what has and is being done through the Central WdS ever ready to lend assistance wherever possible.
 Home Service Work
 One of the especial features of the work, which has had little or no pub uoity, has been the activities of the local chapter in homes of service men. Assistance in securing government aI- loWances is a feature that seems trivial on the face but one that means much Q sthese who are dependent upon this income for sustenance. In many acute cases the Red Cross has advanced funds until such time as delayed gov ernment pay checks arrived.
 As an official chapter of the nation a association, the local chapter has rendered invaluable services in locating lest friends or relatives, in notifying rfRtives of the safe arrival overseas nf stheir dear ones-in fact, in a score q sways that maintain home ties.
 s The annual meeting of the Central Arizona chapter was held January 3, laying been postponed from October 23,-1918, because of influenza and other cs pses.
 Indicative of the whole hearted CO., operation extended the Red Cross in this community is the increase in membership during the year. At the close of business for the fiscal year, the Phoenix chapter had 6,149 mem- bers with branch and auxiliary mem hership of 7,9s2. or a total of 14,141 This is more than double the number
