REPEAL ICE CREAM SODA TAX

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Repeal of the 10 per cent tax on ice cream soda and other soft connections is provided in a bill introduced in the house by Representative Longworth, of Ohio, a member of the Ways and Means committee, and in the senate by Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, member of the Finance Committed and it is likely that the Republican majority in both bodies will see that the tax is removed before the summer is over.
 "This tax" said Longworth, "im- poses an unnecessary and obnoxious burden upon the people in their en- joyment of harmless drink. The ma jority in Congress will easily find the other means of getting a sufficient revenue, especially by protection on imports, besides taking the extra little penny or two from the young people of this country. And this, of course, also has reference to all of that sec ton of the present law which has to do with taxation on ice cream and other sweet preparations. In addition to this imposition upon the public, the tax is bad because it is proving very difficult and unsatisfactory in its ad- ministration. It is pretty generally believed by the treasury experts that it costs more to collect it than it will yield to the government"

INFLUENZA CLAIMS OVER
 FIVE MILLION IN INDIA

CALCUTTA, May 2S.-Almost five million persons have died in British
 India from Spanish influenza anG fully million others are believed tc have died in the native states from the same cause, according to a report o1 the Indian government made public here. The area affected contained g population of 238,026,240, and the number of deaths was 4,S99,725, ol 2O.6 deaths per thousand. In few months, it is observed, influenza had claimed half as many victims.
 The influenza, which made its. ap. pearance in India early last autumn was particularly fatal in the central northern and western portions, while in Burma it was not so severe. Nc part of the Punjab escaped. The hos. pitals were so choked it was impos. sible to quickly remove the dead and make room for the dying. Streets ano lanes of the cities were filtered with dead and dying people and the postal and telegraph services were complete ly demoralized.
 The burning ghats and burial grounds were literally swamped witt corpses, while an even greater number awaited removal from houses and hos. pitals. The depleted medical service itself sorely stricken by the epidemic was incapable of dealing with more than a minute fraction of the sickness requiring attention.

DEMOCRAT ADMITS WASTE

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Repre, sentative B. F. Welty, of Ohio. 3 Democrat, seeing the Republicans all around him preparing to get after the Democratic extravaganza and waste in war expenditures, has decided tc join them, and has, therefore, intro. duced resolution for sweeping in vestigation of irregular and unlaw. full expenditures during the war;"
 "Whereas," his resolution reads Congress appropriated 1,524, BOA, ,75s for aeronautical purposes; whereas serious charges were filed in the re- port made by Charles E. Hughes, after an investigation under the direction of the president of the United States; whereas Col. E. A. Deeds had charge of all matters pertaining to aircraft production, and on August 28, 1917 informed the secretary of war that he had made bona fide transfer of all of his stock in certain corporations likely to receive large war contracts, when in truth and in fact the trans fer was only made to his wife; where as the report further shows that Col Deeds former business associates re- ceived large contracts for airplanes; and whereas the report recommended that he be tried by court-martial; the, efore be it RESOLVED, That a non-partisan committe of eight mem- bers be appointed by the speaker to investigate and report all irregulari- ties in the war and navy apartments in the prosecution of the war"

REMARKABLE CHIMPANZE DIES

A few weeks ago there died chim- panzee who had spent the eight years of his life defying all the rules laid down for the well being of chimpan- gees. His name was Antony, and he was the only one of his tribe of mon- keys who has ever managed to stand an English climate unmitigated by ar tificial heat. He came from the Congo in 1911, when he was very young and small. At that time he weighed four teen pounds; by last summer he was just six times as heavy. During the whole period of his civilized life he was kept in brick building facing southwest and unheated, and he slept in straw without blankets. Chocolates and sweets-poison to ordinary chim- panzees-were the special treats in Antony's dietary, and he had a less comprehensible fancy for beans.

One of the big film men from the West reached town the other day. He has become an enthusiast on dental science. Not long ago he went to a dentist and had X-rays taken of all his teeth. The plate revealed tiny ab- scesses at the root of each one.
 "You've gotta have your teeth ex- amined, too," he said to his wife. "This is dreadful state of affairs. Unless one's teeth are perfect, ones general health is bound to be bad. Poison gets all through the blood, you know."'
 "But my teeth are all right" his wife replied. "They never give me any trouble"
 That's what I thought about my teeth," the film man said. "And see what I found. Put on your hat"
 So they went to the dentist and an X-ray was taken of the wife's teeth And tiny abscesses were found at the roots of each. The husband was alarmed.
 "So we went right back to the den- tist," he said to his friends, "and my wife had eight of her teeth pulled out Never saw such a game little woman I sat right by her side and held hel hand while she went under the gas"
 "When are you going to have youl teeth pulled?" his friends asked.
 "Well," the film man said, "the fact is I've been so dern busy"

SQUASH I'M!

q think it is wholly impossible to imagine any lack of cooperative feeling between the men of the national guard and the regular army" whimpered Secretary Newt Baker the other day, replying to the statement of Col Bennett Clark, son of Champ, that it was his aim to build up the national guard and smash" the regular army.
 Bakers lack of imagination has raised the very devil with this country ever since his induction into office. It was on leave of absence for six months, in the course of which period he saw no reason for alarm because the "war was 5000 miles away" In young Clark's program for smashing the regular army it is to be hoped that he will not overlook stepping on the individual who presides over the war department.

FOR OUR OWN HOME BOYS

While the state committee appointed for the purpose of deciding upon some fitting memorial for the soldier boys who "went over and did not come back" is deciding as to just what sort of a thing will look we'll somewhere in Phoenix, wouldn't it be good idea for the country and the good people of Coconno to put up mem orial monument in the court house yard here, where the names of the boys would appear and where their olved ones and friends could see it now and then? The people of Flagstaff and Co., conino county have been called upon for many drive for other things; but there is not one among them all that would be a better tribute to the boys who loved their country and lost all, than monument right here at home-one built by the loving hands of home folks who knew them. It need not be so great as many others that may be built in congested centers but it would be like marking the resting places of those who have gone in the home family lot. Don't you think we should, folks?
