ARMY TRADE UNION

Spain is the first country in the world to make a trade union out of an army. It isn't a workingmans union 1t is a union for commissioned officers only. That is to say. it is a class movement of shoulder straps and epau- lets to give orders to the government In Spain. they call it the officers 'junta." Junta means assembly or committee. It is used also to describe a revolutionary commission. The Gu ban junta and the Filipino junta were the organizations that directed the re- volts in those countries against Spain. There is thus a menace in the term.
 The officers trade union has brought about economic reforms for the officers themselves. It has also compelled the war ministry to restore to the army certain officers dismissed for reasons unsatisfactory to the junta. That is the menace of the organization.

Government expenditure is the most vital, fundamental factor in increasing the cost of living" says Carter Glass, than whom few Americans have come in closer contact with government fi- nance. He continues:
 What increases the general cost of living imposes an indirect tax on the whole people of the United States which, in the nature of things. bears moreh eavily upon the poor than upon the poor, because expenditures for the necessities of life absorb practically the whole income of the poor and needy and a negligible portion of the income of the rich"
 Other officials of the government and state officials. too, have been run ming things in rings in vain efforts to lower the cost of living. Most of them have been too busy pointing the finger Of blame upon profiteers or at labor unrest, to investigate themselves and their own wasteful methods This has been true of congress, more than of any other governmental agency, al though it may be said that the entirely innocent are as scarce as hens teeth.
 '.It is earnestly urged" Glass argues that Congress deny every proposaI Tor expenditures in new fields or the con- tnuance or expansion of old unless they represent imperative and un- questioned need"
 His idea seems that the way to save money is to save it, and you cant spend it and save it too.

UTILITY TRA|LERS USED BY LEADING
 FIRMS IN VALLEY

Utility trailers have been represent cd in this territory during the past year by c. Winfield Hartranft- His success in this business is evidenced by the large number of Utility trailers seen daily in and around Phoenix. Mir. Hartranft states, however, that Utility trailers sell themselves. That they give universal satisfaction is em- phasized by the fact that there are practically no used Utilities on yne market
 While every one of the 2S Utility models has been a good seller the semi trailer has not experienced the ropularity it deserves. sThe lumber dealers alone have been keenly alive to it's practicability. They require equip ment which is economical in operation and in first cost. easy to get around with, and readily backed. The semi trailer has met these requirements ad- mirably, there being twelve in the lumber yards of Phoenix at this time
 The semi trailer is an integral part of the truck. It is mounted on the frame of the truck, on an especially constructed fifth wheel. The whole load is placed on the frame of the semi trailer which is os balanced that only one third of the weight is carried py the truck
 In all the large cities, semi -trailers ire being generally adopted by firms which do a great deal of hauling.

FIRE BLIGHT FOUND
In LOCAL ORCHARDS

Gordon G. Brown last week reported
discovery of fire blight in Spitzenburg
trees on the East Side grade a short
distance from the city. While he be-
! lieves growers can eradicate the dis
ease before it spreads, he declares that
utmost vigilance and cooperation of all
orchardists of the district will be nee
essary.
"The infections should be cut out at
once. says Mr.. Brown. "The disease
appears in fruit spurs and tWigs. The
cuts should be made at least foot be-
low the point Of infection. All wounds
should be disinfected with cyanide of
mercury, one gram of mercury to so
grams of water. Tools used in the
pruning, however, must be dsinfected
with bichloride of mercury. Aphids
will spread the disease, and urge all
growers to spray for these insects with
tobacco solution. All orchards in the
disrtict where the infection was found
shohld be inspected at Today intervals.
This inspection must be thorOugh-fr
tree to tree. AS trees of vigorous
growth are more susceptible to the dis
ease, growers should be cautious in use
of water, or they will cause over stim-
ulation.o
Mr.. Brown believes the disease has
worked IN from Wasco county. Fire
blight, it is said. has been working
west from infected areas in the neigh
boring county for the past several
years. Vigilance of growers, however.
has prevented the spread of the disease
in orchards, and the present infection
probably comes from native tree hosts.
