WILSON'S MESSAGE
HEARD BY CONGRESS
No Reference Made to the
League-Loan Is Proposed
to Armenia.

ashington.-Congres was in brief
session Tuesday to hear President
Wilson's annual message. 1t was read
by the clerk.
Galleries in both houses were
crowded, but those drawn by the
chance that the president might ap-
pear in person or by the possibility
that his message might touch the
league of nations question or his own
approaching retirement, were disap-
pointed.
Mr.. Wilson confined himself almost
wholly to domestic questions. Only
by inference did he refer to the near
ing closing of his administration and
that was in the concluding para
graph. The proposals he presented,
he wrote, were not so much series
of recommendation as a confession
''of the faith in which | was bred and
which it is my solemn purpose to
stand by until my last fighting day"
A program of Immediately serv-
iceable acts of legislation" to aid that
recovery "and provide the indestruct-
ibIe recuperative force Of a great gov
eminent of the people" should be I'M
dertaken, Mr.. Wilson said, adding:
Zone of these is to prove a great
democracy can keep house as sue
cessfully and in as businesslike fash
ion as any other government"
First among recommended steps,
Mr.. Wilson placed enactment OF a
workable budget system" He said
he had vetoed the budget bill passed
at the last session reluctantly and
because of "a constitutional objec-
tion," but as it was later revised in
the house, he believed it would, with
other measures, furnish foundations
for a national budget system
Mr.. Wilson cited figures as to the
national debt and urged rigid econ
omy in which all branches of the gov
eminent should cooperate"
Il can not overemphasize, he said,
''the necessity of economy in govern
ment appropriations and expendl-
lures and the avoidance by congress
of practices which take money from
the treasury by indefinite or revolving
fund appropriations"
This years estimates ''strikingly'
illustrated the importance of specific
appropriations, he added, the trans
portation act having disturbed" the
relationship between current receipts
and expenditures to the extent OF
more than billion dollars.
at is Obvious the message con
tinued," that these large payments
have already seriously limited the gov.
ernment's progress in retiring the
floating debt
The president renewed some rec
ing of the last session and added:
81 do not feel it my privilege to
suggest the detailed and particular
methods by which these objects may
be obtained, but l have faith that the
inquiries of your several committees
will discover the way and the me
thod."
The only recommendation for 9th
er than domestic matter was that fol
a loan to Armenia to be administered
through American commissioners tt
avoid further tempting opportuni
ties" to revolutionary tendencies in
that country, and for granting indie
pendence to the Philippines, "to keeI
our promise to the people of those
islands"

Big Wild Game Season
Will Open October

A hunters's paradise will be
thrown open to field sportsmen
of the state next month when
the ban will be lifted on all
forms of game most relished by
huntsmen.
The vast wooded areas of the
White mountains were never
richer in deer, ducks, quail and
wild turkey than now, State
Game Warden Joe Prochaska de-
clares. Wild turkey, almost ex-
tinct on the North American
continent, are probably the most
plentiful in the states history,
he said.
The ban on deer and turkeys
will be lifted October first. The
game laws of the state limit
each hunter to one buck deer
and two turkeys.
October Is will witness the
lifting of the ban on ducks and
quail. The limit on ducks is 20
a day or 20 in possession at any
one time. On quail, the limit is
I 25 in one day or 25 in possession
at any one time.
The deer season closes at mid
night Oct. 81. Ducks and quail
continue in season until Jan. 81.

Reduced Railroad Rates
for Northern Arizona Fair

Reduced railroad rates will be
in effect in all northern counties,
Apache, Navajo. Coconino, Mo-
have and Yavapai and within a
radius of seYenty-fve miles south
of Prescott for the eighth an
nual Northern Arizona State
Fair, which will be held at Pres
cott, October IA, Is and 10Th.
At this years fair there will
be plenty of clean high class
entertainment. A twenty-piece
band will render concerts during
the mornings. afternoons and
evenings of the fair.
There has been a steady indus
trial growth in Arizona and the
exhibits this year at the North
ern Ariz. Fair has developed and,
at the present time, they give
every promise of being the best,
the most complete and attractive
ever seen in this part of the
country. The Northern Arizona
State Fair is primarily an educa-
tional institution and the $5, 600
cash awarded for prizes in the
mining, livestock, agricultural,
poultry, educational features of
the fair stimulate such wide IN
terest, and disseminate know
ledge in such a comprehensive
manner that it has become a
permanent institution. At this
Fair, the men and women who
produce the necessities in this
part of the country meet and
such an event always tends to
weld the people into a closer
unit.
The Fair official, who serve
wi t hout remuneration. are
working hard to make the Eight
Annual Northern Arizona State
Fair a big success and that their
efforts are being appreciated is
shown by the fact that prepara-
tions are being made throughout
the northern part of the state
to send the biggest, most attrac-
tive and best exhibits possible
to the 1920 fair.

l5Sth Boys at State Fair

According to reports from
Phoenix, a movement is being
instituted by members of the
158th infantry, which is Ari-
zona's own, and which deported
itself so laudably in the Mexi-
can border wars, and later with
t h e American expeditionary
forces in France, to have a big
reunion in Phoenix during fair
week, November 8-13. Ex-sol-
diers believe the occasion to be
a most auspicious cne for such a
gathering, for more ex-service
men are likely TO congregate at
one place than at any other oc-
casion during the year.
In the belief that the 158th
reunion could not be complete
without its god-mother, Theda
Bara, some members Of the or
ganization believe special efforts
should be made to have the fa-
nous movie star as their guest
of honor.

the Apache and Navajo reser-
vations and if so there will be
all kinds of sports by the red
men. Make arrangements to
