GOVERNMENT ECONOMY AND COMEDY

The inspector general of the army recom- mends that some change. be made in the present method of disposng Of surplus government stores to spectators who immediately resell to the government at big profit. He mentioned the fact that one department sold cement for S1 ton to civilian, who immediately turned around and sold it back to the government for S6 per ton. It really does look as though it would have been much cheaper for the administration to have made out list of deserving democrats at the commencement of the administration and had them paid directly out of the treasury of the United States. This plan would have saved some of the departments that actually needed the material from waiting until it could be de- cared surplus and passed from hand to hand until each one had gotten his "bit' before the material could be used by the government of fcialy Something like this might have helped much more than cutting down the number of perforations between postage stamps and using a cheaper quality of gum on the back of them, still, the people might never find out the cement side of the deal, but most of them would thor oughly realize the stamp economy.

A REAL MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas is very substantial fact in Flagstaff this year The Good Ladies and Good Fellows have gone into the matter closely and if there is any one missed, it is sad accident, but we don't believe there will be an accident from all the precautions taken to prevent one There was firm resolve among the big-hearted folks some time ago that there would be no place, however humble, within the confines of Flagstaff, that would be without good cheer on Christmas Truck loads were moving in all directions today and the drivers had explicit directions as to proper addresses.
 It is well. There is plenty in the land and more to come

BEGAN LONG AGO

A supporter of the democratic ticket in the last election writes to the New York World to ask this question:
 "What do the republicans intend do-
 ing with the vast governmental pow
 CTS soon to be in their control in an
 epoch of falling prices, falling wages,
 falling government revenues, high in-
 terest rates, reduced markets at home
 and abroad, factory shut-downs sur
 plus labor and increasing numbers of
 men out of work, etc., etc"
 Now, for history's sake, let us record that this question was asked on November 6, four days after election. The falling prices, falling wages, high interest rates etc., had been on the way for several months and had reached such a stage by election time as to impress this demo- crat with the idea that the republicans face an almost super-human task. And they do. The republican party will take charge of the govern ment at time when every condition and cir cumstance is adverse. It will require construct i've statesmanship of the highest order to rescue the United States from the chaos into which it has been drawn by eight years of democratic rule.
 But we should be thankful to democratic paper for publishing the communication of a democrat, admitting that the conditions existed four days after the election. The country could not have been reduced to such condition in four days, hence the long list of evils must have been brought on before the result of the election was known.

A KEEN PROPERTY LAW

A proposed law which would permit of the condemnation and sale at public auction to the highest bidder, of vacant and unimproved prop erty which the owner or owners refuse to sell, is being advocated in certain quarters by boosters who believe that such law would make for the upbuilding of many towns and cities. They claim that property held vacant for speculation or oth- CT purposes would soon be improved property or be sold to some one who would improve it. thus helping to equalize the taxes and materially ben eft those who were enterprsing and are build ing On the order of the Henry George theory, it is claimed that the builder has to pay the tax es on the vacant property and increases the value of the vacant property adjacent to the improve ments.

The Sun is always ready and willing to help any worthy cause-that's part of our job. A lady recently apologized for asking help in a worthy cause in which she was an energetic worker, giving her time freely. She needn't have done so, for that's the kind of causes we are al ways willing to assist. It's the free boost stuff for personal aggrandizement and profit, disguis- ed as for 'the public good" that annoys our aagOra.

Flagstaff merchants are not complaining of the holiday trade. Most of them have taken time by the forelock and prepared prices that paves the way to prosperity. There will be few old stocks left to start the new year with. They have been meeting the tumbling prices half way.
