COMMISSION ISSUES
 CONTEMPT CITATION
 FOR TEMPE GAS CO.

Citation for contempt was ordered by the state corporation commission last night against the Southside Gas and Electric company at Tempe, to be served today along with announcement of a date when the company will be allowed to come before the commission and state reasons why it should not be fined some amount ranging from s1oo to s5O00.
 The citation is the first of its kind of outstanding importance, since the commission rendered and carried out similar order several years ago against inc santa Fe and Arizona Eastern railroads. the railroads being fined Sl,- soc The railroad companies appealed to the United. States supreme court ana the order of the commission was sus- tained.
 The Tempe company some tune ago was ordered by the commission to re- pair it's gas main near the intake from the supply at Mesa, the commission engineers reporting that the main was leaking about 50 per cent of the gas Is received and that the resulting service for Tempe consequently was extremely unsatisfactory. As showing was made that the company had pipe and other requisite materials immediately available for repair work. the commis sion ordered the repairing 10 be done within a stated ten day period
 Engineer Ben Ferguson. of the com mission, accompanied by witnesses. yesterday inspected the gas mains and reported 10 the commissioners that nothing had been done as ordered, whereupon the citation for contempt was issued.

for the Marine Corps were pro- noted from the ranks. These ofi- cers, by their efficiency and vaior. have so amply demonstrated the wisdom of developing the officer material among the enlisted men. that the system has been adopted as permanent feature of the service. Any man who has the makings Of an officer in him stands an excellent chance of ris- ing rapidly through tho non-com- r2issioncd grades of corporal and sergeant and graduating into a second lieutenant After that he has the same opportunity of at timing still higher rank as any graduate of the Naval Academy.
 In addition. some Marines are selected each year to take the four-year course at Annapolis, upon completion of which they arc immediately commissioned second lieutenants of Marines or ensigns in the Navy.
 When we remember that there is one non-commissioned officer to every seven men no one who is of average ability and applies himself can expect to remain a private fer very long.
 The Marine at Work and Play Many people have the idea that the service is a life of hard work. long hours and harsh discipline. Nothing was ever further from the truth.
 There is work to be done in the Marine Corps. But it is good,
Arizona republican., 1920-03-06

healthful, outdoor work. There are short. snappy drills that mako a man alert and lon the job" in mind and body. There are setting up exercises that take inches of . mans waistline and put them on his chest. There's shooting on tho rife range-every Marine is trained to be a crack shot: there's work with wireless telegraphy and something of seamanship. It's work, but it's the sort of work men like.
 There must be discipline, just as there must be laws in a com munity or rules in an office or factory. But the Marine discipline is of a sort that no reasonable man would object to.
 Life is not all work for the Ma rine. There arc baseball. football. boxing and swimming for the devotees of these sports. No post is without it's pool tables There is fishing and hunting. For Ma rines, in their travels, go where game, big and little. is plentiful and game laws are few.
 Men not on guard may. ag a rule. leave their station after 3 or , o'clock in the afternoon and may remain away until reveille (s or o'clock) the following morning. Whenever a man may be con- veniently spared, his commanding officer has authority to grant him q tcn-day furlough, plus the time required to travel to and return. from his home town.
 The Marine Corps desires fo sivx young men from sll parts of the country nm opportunity of enlist ing in the service for two. three or four years- The local recFuif- irs omce has some vacancies in its quota for especially good ueps It may he that you are the sort of man they are looking for.
