Down With the Shacks

The city commission is considering legislation to prevent the further dottng landscape with dis graceful shacks which going parts of the town to be used for purposes of the worst kind of profiteering. Many that being built are fit for human habitation are many that have been built since the need of housing in Phoenix became acute It is expectation of the builders that they rent them for enough, that within few months the rentals amount to the cost of the property.
 Tho evil effect upon Phoenix of this sort of en- terprfse will be felt in two ways It will be in the first place the worst possible advertisement Of the town In the next place if it is allowed go on unchecked these shacks will take the place ot many decent buildings which would otherwise be erected next year to meet housing
 The propossd legislation, it is expected sist of an amendment to the ordinance relating to fire limits, prescribing the of construction that may be within those limits.
 Any restriction that the place upon this kind of growth of Phoenix will have the approval of all citizens who care for the good name and appearance of the town.

Patriotism At Home

He sad More and more ire quently village the town the city finds that it maintain order without outside help. This is of the gravest symptoms of the times. The division. however small, is to keep it's house in order"
 That is, patriotism to be effective be de- pendent upon itself It should vent itself in mere passionate utterances An individual not ready defend his community when it is assaied by dis order is likely be effective defender of his country. That is. he is only mouthy patriot. And a community which refuses make the effort essary maintain order and law and calls for state federal assistance the disorder breaks lacking something and something material of Americanism.
 The majority every community is abiding of order by force if necessary Yet nfrequently in recent months have cities and calling for help from state and the sfederal govern ment to restore order when the community itself amply able law by own efforts.
 The lack of such self reliance part of community is encouragement disorder. disorderly element feels and it has right feel. that it had triumphed the community and forced 1t call for help.

AnS.-
 Now, may it please the court, Ye Ed admits, as set forth in the above com plaint. that he did instigate and caused to be published the first annual poetry edition of the Camels Back, which said publication occurred some time last spring, in the year of our Lord, 1919. Admits that, at a time prior to the said publication, he received through the mails a request from complainant for two copies of said edition. which copies he placed in the Phoenix postoffice ad dressed to the complainant and stamped with the stamps she for warded.
 Admits that, at numerous, various and sundry times before and after the ant additional requests for copies of the edition, notwithstanding he had mailed her copies as set forth above.
 Alleges, and stands ready to prove, that in answer to these requests, he notified her through the co.'s. of the CameIs Back, that the Spring P. E.. lad been printed and copies had been forwarded.
 And that following the last of such notifications, he had no further re- quests for copies from complainant for months and months and months. And that during that time he enjoyed quiet and peace of mind and rest on the be- lief that somehow. by some wild chance, the Buckeye mails had func- toned and she had received her copies complained of. And the last vestige of apprehension lest the requests should be renewed, were swept away along with the bridge over the Agua Fria. the sole connecting link from here to Buckeye. But now the state en- gineer has repaired the bridge. And now the requests are renewed. And now is worry with us again. And now does the engineer know what kind of a cuss he is. And now are we in pos session of 10 cents in stamps. and now do we call upon our reader to find for us copy of our spring poetry edition and send them to us and get the stamps.
