GAS COMPANY REJECTS
CITY OFFER TO BUY PLANT

The City Council met in regular
session at the City Hall Tuesday night
and quite lengthy letter was read
from the Gas Company in reply to the
City's offer of $12,00OOO to purchase
same. The company flatly refused
the offer, stating that the plant had
approximately cost them $45 100000 tC
erect the plant in 1915, and they would
not think of selling it for less than
fifty cents on the dollar. They further
stated that they had better offer
from other cities to dismantle the
plant and move it, and at the present
time it looks very much like WinslOW
will soon be without gas.
The matter of the cemetery was
taken under consideration and it was
decided to sell the plots for the sum
of $3.50 each, and the City issue a
warranty deed to the purchaser who
will own. the land in fee simple. Pro-
visions were also made for Potters
plot in which the graves will be given
away.
Several petitions we're on hand for
Extension of the sewer system which
were referred to the City sewer com
mission.
The numerous bills were audited
and ordered paid after which the
Council adjourned.

NEAR EAST RELIEF.

For the benefit Of all those indivi-
duals and organizations which have
signified their intention of contributing
to the Near East Relief but who have
failed to send in their remittances OF
pledges, the state committee has Sc
cured from the national organization
an extension Of ten days. This will
bring the campaign to a close on
March 10.
All checks and pledges should be
mailed direct to Near East Relief

children during the ensuing year
Monthly pledges ranging from $5 to
$15 are being accepted; $5 providing
food, $40 providing food, clothing and
shelter, and SIS providing all these

Whether Arizona will succeed or
fail in its duty to humanity in this
great cause Of mercy depends entirely
upon the results received before the
close of the campaign" declared Chas.
D. Willis, state secretary eff all
those who have promised to cooperate
make good there is no doubt that Ari-
zona will go over the top. Unless
prompt action is taken, however, this
state is doomed to fall down hard in
she raising of it's quota of funds. 1t
would certainly reflect discredit upon
this great prosperous state of ours if
we are to fail in doing our share to-
ward relieving conditions which know
no parallel in the history of the world
IF there was worthy cause. il
there ever was a crying need that de-
immediate action that cause
is the present plight of the remnants of
races now struggling for existence in
The Near East.
America has been called upon to
help. 1t cannot help officially by rea-
son of the fact that those peoples have
not yet been recognized as nations.
While this fact presents a political

Relief, Incorporated by Congress, has
been especially created TO carry on the
work of relief to hundreds of thou

Odds.
'The way has been made clear to
every one who reads just how he, in

hope of the committee that the re-
sponse to this final appeal will touch
the hearts Of all broad minded porsons
and that the response will be in keep

Arizona in all other patriotic and
philanthropic drives in which she has

A SATISFACTORY PLATFORM.

A Republican, writing to the Cor
 dova Times, suggests these four
 propositions as a program for that party for Alaska should it come into power:
 1. A full territorial government. 2. Alaska affairs to be handled by Alaskans.
 3. Less conservation fanaticism, and more development.
 4. Horse sense in the legislature. That would be very satisfactory
 program for any political party, be- lieves the Alaska Daily Empire (Ju- neau). Its first proposition is one
 to which the Democratic party has
 been committed for many years, and one to which all political parties and other organizations in Alaska should be committed. The other propositions have also been parts of Democratic and Republican plat forms, and are supported by prac- tically everybody in Alaska. This writer, discussing a full terri torial form of government, says: ''The only territories which have been denied full form of territorial government heretofore were those in which the preponderant part of the population was of foreign or Indian birth. This does not obtain in Alaska, where there are at least three white citizens of the United States to each Indian or non-citizen. It cannot be said that we are not intelligent enough to govern our selves; the census shows an almost ,infnitesimal degree of illiteracy This leaves but one reason for the refusal of the United States Gov ernment to let us handle our own affairs. namely, the extent of the Territory and it's scant population
 as compared to it's size. This argu-
 ment did not deter the Government
 from granting self-government to other territories. Given the right ito a control over their own re- sources, it did not take long to get
 the population. And so it will be with Alaska. When we are allowed to get away from the Washington bureaucracy, men and capital will soon be hers to develop the richest Icountry out of doors."

CHANGE SHORTAGE
 HITS MEXICO HARD

MEXICO CITY.-Mexico is pass. ing through bitter commercial crisis as a result of the shortage of
 change. Leading commercial houses 1 in the capital, instead of expert encing the usual s percent holiday increase in business during Decem- Der, reported sales 15 percent less
 than November.
 Without paper currency, the coun- try depends on gold and silver coin, and the high price of silver has caused an acute shortage of small change, due to illicit exportation and operations of spectators. Mon ley changers are now charging as high as seven percent to change gold into silver, and it is reported that gold also is growing scarce. Some business houses who tried to use postal and documentary stamps for change found themelves breaking the law.
 Thus far no method of facilitat- ing small purchases has been dis covered and, according to semi-offi- cial statements, the country will be forced to wait for the price of silver to decline to secure relief. The silver content of the lower coinage has been cut once during the last six months, but even the new coins are being hoarded for speculation or exported. While the mint has been working overtime for months, it has been found impossi- ble to keep up with demands.
