ANOTHER IA POINTS

Here are IA points against the ratification of the peace treaty:
 1. The Shantung provision is international piracy, bringing dishonor to any nation party to it.
 2. Great Britain is givenssi votes to.Ameri- ca's one, without justification in reason
 3. By entering the league, America would abandon her traditional policy of non-interfer- ence in European affairs.
 4. The Monroe Doctrine would be subject to interpretation by the league council, as asserted by British officials without contradiction. 5. The United States would be bound to main tain armies in Europe to regulate purely Euro pean affairs.
 6. Our constitutional provision that Congress shall have power to raise armies would be sorely violated.
 2. Domestic questions, such as immigration, tariff, and coastwise trade, will come within the jurisdiction of the league if the foreign council so decides.
 S. Insignificant nations, like Liberia, Hedjas, etc., would have voting power in the assembly equal with the United States.
 g. The United States would be bound to pre-. serve the territorial integrity and political inde- pendence of every member of the league, most of them monarchies.
 H 10. By bringing the charge that it involves threat of war, any nation could require the United States to submit any question to the league for decision.
 Il. Article Z3 requiring free transit and equitable treatment of commerce could be con- strued to forbid protective tariffs
 12. America, industrially and financially very strong, would become the burden-bearer of the world.
 13. The league covenant obligates the United States to give full and frank information con- corning industries adaptable to war-like pur- poses thus putting American industry at dis advantage, since most important industries are of such character.
 14. America has nothing to gain and much to lose by entering the league.

FLAGSTAFF MERELY COMING

While it may appear that this is booster" edition of The Sun, because of the appearance of the front page, we merely wish to say that it is just this weeks gathering of things doing in Flagstaff.
 It is true that some of the projects may not be realized at once; but there is a good healthy feeling among the people that most of them will come to pass and that the next year will record the biggest advance that Flagstaff has ever ex perienced.
 The great wonder among visitors for the past ten years has been that no one had taken advan- tage of the many splendid opportunities offered at Flagstaff. The time has arrived when it is going to take only small shove to start the ball rolling. There is enthusiasm behind the movement now and it is everybodys game.
 When cottage plans and pleasure grounds far out of town can be made success, it looks as though either Flagstaff people had to move or the town will move outside the city limits It will be better to build up the city rather than to build up a lot of suburban settlements.

Secretary of State Mitt Sims has issued the state "bue book' for 1919, which gives all the state and county officers except the office of at- torney general; only black smear appears where the name should fit in. He originally had the name of Capt. Walter Ingalls, inserted there, but the Democrats would not stand for it, and demanded it be removed. Harris is still attempt ing to hang on, fearing that some war might jump up and there would be no Democratic adju- tant general to help it stop.

When the small cloud that started up over the high cost of living began to assume the pro- portions of hurricane, then prices began to sag ssme, and the "big five" packers commenced to see that meat prices were made lower. The prices were made lower yet they claimed it could not be done. They don't want to be regulated by the government. Of course not. Neither does the fellow caught moonshining; but if they can't regulate themselves, the government must doit so that the rest of the people may live. We thoroughly agree that it is a bad thing to have more and service is worse than in the hands of reasonable individuals; but when band of high pirates start to gather up all the pelf and food in the country something has to be done to stop it in the interests of the people.

ELK HUNT OPEN TO ALL

There seems to be some misunderstanding as to the big elk hunt scheduled to come off next October under special permits from the state game warden. Only one hundred licenses were to be issued to applicants, though there may be many more applications-the lucky ones to be determined by lot. Some were under the i'm pression that only members of the Elks lodge could secure licenses: this is obviously untrue, for it would be impossible to discriminate in that way Everybody is free to take part in the drawing. The Elks have only been prominent in helping to work out the details of the big hunt

7 Our efficient depot" has been having a hard time of it this week. One door has been nailed up, and the other is hanging with one hinge. It is expected that another hinge will be put on as soon as it is received from Labrador--the only place where door hinges can be secured. The report that the city council has asked to have the name of the town taken off the building so people going through here will not know what town they are in, can not be verified.

The old world has been pretty we'll marked offwith lines of latitude, longitude, base lines, merdans, belt and township lines; but since airplanes have come into use, it will be neces- sary to put the skyline on legal basis so that land owners may sell air right-of-ways over their property.

"All Elements Look to the United States for Help"-headline. It does look as though about every nation in Europe has acquired the habit of hanging out the IS. O. s" signal every time Rex, Reggy or Onionett stubs his toe and wants to shake Uncle Sam's Christmas tree. Foreign missions are great fad nowadays, but it would seem that it is about time for Uncle Sam to re- place the patches in his own pants along about this time.

There is one good thing about Hoover, any how When his predictions do not pan out he changes the predictions. Last spring he said we would have to hoard supplies to help out Europe, and now he tells Paris that food supplies are be- ing piled up here and threatening to spoil. High prices, he thinks, were caused by spectators. It commences to appear as though the people had been fooled into feeding Europe" in order that the spectators could better handle the market.

MT. Herbert Hoover followed President Will son over to Europe and left us with our flood problem" just at about the same place where we get off with the league of nations. It would seem that our officials sent over about all the food, money and men we could spare, and have left only the most progressive of profteers at home to clean up the rest. z

Will some one of those who are urging the League of Nations in it's present form so strong ly, please advise why England should have six votes while America only has one? America would have a fine chance of settling disputes" agreeable to our interests when out-voted six to one by England. The biggest argument any one can put up for the league as it stands now is, "Wilson wants it. If the league will 'keep us out of war;" why does Baker advocate such large standing army? If the league has stopped war, what are the twenty or more other nations in Europe fighting for now? About all that America seems to be entitled to, except furnish ing men, money and food to protect Europe, is the fun of giving Europe democracy" which they do not want.

TERRoRISTS AGAIN BUSY

Washington. Another attempted
reign of terror. directed chiefly
against public officials who have been
active in their prosecution Of enemy
aliens and other radicals, was launch
ed shortly before midnight Monday.
A bomb explosion which damaged
the residence Of Attorney General A.
Mitchell Palmer, In Washington, but
which apparently resulted only In the
death OF the bomb planter. was fol-
lowed at brief intervals by similar ex-
plosions in seven other cities in q belt
extending from Cleveland to Boston.
Besides Washington, Cleveland and
Boston, cities in which bomb outrages
occurred we're Pittsburg, Paterson, N,
j.; West Philadelphia, New York and
Newtonville, ,sNdass.
West Philadelphia and Pittsburg
we're subjected to two separate explo-
sions.
The similarity of the reports re-
ceived from the various cities recalled
to the authorities the May-day bomb
plot OF a month ago.
The bomb planted under the steps
OF the home of the attorney-general
wrecked the dwelling, smashed in the
windows of adjoining houses for
block, but injured no one within the
Palmer residence.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terlals. which may be obtained through
the application OF paint, constitutes q
most vital means of furthering the con-
servation of our natural resources. 1t
is, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
diia rubber would not be as well protect.
ed from decay as a structure coated
with good oil paint. This Is due TO
the fact that a sheet Of rubber Is not
so durable or as waterproof us a thin
dried Aim of paint, The Inter mate
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles Of metallic. wear resisting
pigments. A square foot OF such q
film upon wooden surface costs less
than penny, yet II will beautlfy ami
protect dollars worth of surface for
many years. This Is a low rate of In
surance.
Dwellings, barns, outbuildings, sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, windmills and other struc-
lures, whether of wood. iron or cement,
should be preserved, through the use
Of paint, from rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most sevlceable, the colOring
matter In the paint adding from two
to three years TO the life of the coating
