result of the adoption of this act means reduction of taxation in this state. All citizen-taxpayers are tax ed to pay the salaries of many use- less officials who simply hinder bus mess by their incompetency.
 (4) Honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, marines and members of the army nurses corps are given prefer ence in state appointments, provided they show themselves competent by examination for the positions they seek. Don't you think they are en- titled to this preference?
 Finally: We must have in our government democracy and efficiency. Democracy is answered by offering civil service examination to all who wish to apply for office. Efficiency is secured by appointing those whom the civil service examination has dem- onstrated most capable, and by keep ing them in office as long as they re- main capable.
 We earnestly solicit your interest and active support of this bill, believ- ing as we do that it's adoption will destroy the spells system now in oper. ation in this state, and throw positions open to every citizen who is ambitious or desirous of securing a state posi- tion, which cannot be done now ex- cept through the favor of some poli- tician.

BABY CROP
 BREAKS ALL PAST RECORDS

Americas baby crop in 1919 was new record, says the American Child Hygiene association. ~
 An annual preliminary report on vital statistics by that organization, covering data from 269 cities with an aggregate population of 31,0OO.- 900 shows the infant mortality rate declined to the encouraging figure of 87 deaths per 1000 babies," say ing of nearly 12,0O0 babies over the 1918 rate and 1000 fewer deaths than in 1917.
 In the cities covered by the report 680,0O0 births were recorded, while in the entire country it is estimated there are 2,500,000 newcomers an nually. All of the cities included have populations of 10000 or more.
 Babies seemed to thrive we'll in some of the larger cities, where for merly the death rate was very high. Among the 24 cities of more than 250,000 population reported, ten were below the average for the 269 and the death rate for the group was S5, two points below the general aver age.
 Ten years ago. the report said, "it was the aim of many a depart ment of health to see this rate fall below the 100 mark. In 1919, only four of the "A larger cities were above it."
 One of these was Pittsburgh, the Smoky City," where the rate was 115, Buffalo with 107, Kansas City, Mo-, with 103, and Jersey City, N. J., with 102 were the others.
 Houston, Texas, was the best baby raising ground among the cities of more than 100000 and less than 250,- GOO with a mark of 61. Berkeley, Cal, had baby mortality rate of A, while Brookline, Mass, with a pop ulation of less than 50,0O0 led all the rest with the healthy percentage of 40.
 New York city registered S2. St. Louis scored 75, Los Angeles and San Francisco 67 and 65, respective ly, Minneapolis 61 and 65, respective ly, Minneapolis 61 and Seattle 54.
 Fl Paso, Texas, had the worst showing with 245. Burlington, Vt., was next with 150.

THE AMERICAN LEGION
 WANTS CIVIL SERVICE LAW

The American Legion, department of Arizona, is very much interested in the success of the initiative measure creating a civil service commission which will be placed on the ballot at the general election. This bill was framed by the L. A. Engle, Jr., post, and the following argument which comes from the same source has the approval of Bert H. Clingan, state commander, and D. A. Little, state adjutant:
 Argument in Favor of Initiative
 Measure, Creating Civil
 Service Commission.
 The application of the merit system to state, county and municipal gov ernments has proved successful wherever it has been given fair trial and its adoption by the people of this state at the coming November cleo tion will secure to the people of Ari- zona the most efficient government possible.
 Under the present system in vogue in this state appointments by per sons to public office are made not on account of their ability to do certain work, but because they are followers and supporters of certain politicians and they acknowledge no obligations except to those politicians re- sponsible for their appointment, and their public duties, if not entirely dis regarded, are negligently and inef- ficiently performed. The proposed law submitted to the voters of Arizona for their verdict prohibits them from using their official positions in coerc- ing political action and makes merit the sole qualification for appointment to positions in the classified civil ser vice of the state. It takes away the desire on the part of heads of depart ments and election officials to increase the number and salaries of the em- ployes in their departments, with the idea of perpetuating themselves in office by organizing political ma chine of those working for them.
 Civil service is not an experiment. it is in force and working successfully in California, Connecticut, Massachu- setts, New Jersey, Ohio, Colorado, H. linois, Kansas, New York and Wis consin and in the principal cities of the country: New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver and many others. Practically all depart ments of our federal government are under civil service, and there is no record of its being repealed wherever it has been established. To recapitu- late, its adoption by the people of this state means:
 CD That merit rather than political influence will govern state appoint ments in the future. A state employe should be made to feel that he owes his allegiance to the people of the state rather than as at present to some one political clique who assume responsibility for keeping him in his position.
 (2) That it will increase the ef- ficiency of the state service by insur- ing men or women who are giving good service that they will hold their positions irrespective of changes made by politics.
 (3) That increased efficiency as

ELSIE TOLES MAKES BIG
 HIT WITH JEROME

Miss Elsie Toles, candidate for the office of state superintendent of in- struction on the republican ticket, made an impression at last nights meeting that, if duplicated in other parts of the state, will carry her to a victory the extent of which will be a surprise to everybody including herself.
 Miss Toles is native daughter of Arizona, having been born in Bisbee not so very many years ago and hav- ing spent her whole life in the state with the exception of the time she was attending the University of Michi- gan. She was graduated from the Bisbee high school, attended the state Normal school at Tempe and the Uni versity of Michigan and taught for seven years in the public schools.
 She has been county superintend- ent of Cochise county for two terms and has the distinction of being the only republican elected and reelected to the office in the southern county since statehood.
 She believes in the schools, thinks for them and lives for them-and should be elected to head the public school system of the state for the simple reason that she will adminis- ter the schools as one who knows by experience what they need. She be- lieves that the office of state super intendent can be made vital part of the educational program of the state instead of being mere receptacle for reports as has been the case under the Hunt administrations and the chances are very largely in favor of the people thinking as. she does.- Jerome News.
