Every voter in the city should 60

Every voter in the city should *
to the polls on election day, April
and cast their ballots for the cleo
ton of city officers even though there
is but one ticket in the field, it SHOULD
be considered q duty and privilege
that no citizen should shirk to take
an interest in civic and public affairs
through the franchise accorded him
Besides the election of officers
there are six important amendments
to the charter to be voted upon every
one of which should be carried ano
incorporated in the charter.
The. city council together with the
city attorney and other legal counsel
have given the matters contained in
the proposed amendments much care
full investigation and find that in or
der to conduct and conserve the bus
mess affairs of the city to meet the
best interests of all the people these
amendments should become a law.
Among the most important of the
amendments is that regarding the
rate of taxation giving the council
authority If necessary, to raise five
mills on the dollar, to provide an in
terest and sinking fund. Should this
HOL DC pTONlucu LUZ q raising VI Nat-
uation of all real estate will have to
be made by the supervisors, which
would not only hit the tax payer in
the summer tax but in the fall also
on the higher valuation. 1t would
be double header and work hard
ship to the owner of property.
An other important one is to pro-
vide for combining the Offices of city
clerk and city treasurer uniting them
in one person. There is no question
but that one person could do the
work and the offices should be COM
bined
If the proposition for commission
form of government should carry.
all of these amendments will be pro-
vided for in that revision but the
voter should take no chance and vote
for these amendments which in the
event of the former being lost will
become part of the present charter.
The ladies who have been granted
the right to, vote should not be at all
averse to exercising that right ,es-
pecially in local matters where they
are vitality interested. The present
opportunity is a good one to show
their hand and get accustomed to
the polling places, the ballots, the
amendments and manner of conduct
ing elections. t.4

MEANT NO DISCOURTESY
 IN CALLING HIM FOCH

PARIS, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press) ).-"Foch will keep us waiting about fifteen or twenty minutes" said the sentry at the Care du Nord while the special train that was to bear the French delegation to Spa was be- ing shunted on the siding.
 An elderly little man, wearing the undress uniform of a general of divi- sion, Military Medal, War Cross and Legion of Honor, sauntered up and quite amiably said: You might at least call him Marshal Foch.'
 The soldier took one glance at the general, then standing rigid Fat atten- tion, replied: "One never says Mar shal Caesar or Marshal Napoleon Monsieur le Marechal."
 Smiling broadly Foch entered the special train.

ON UTAH DESERT
 NEAR DEATH

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press) Two parties of automobile travellers became lost on unmapped roads in Utah deserts re- gently and only reached safety after experiences as narrowing as some of those the pioneers underwent.
 Arthur Lawrence of Delta, Utah, started on a vacation trip with his wife and their two children, eleven and five years old They determined to take a new and little travelled road but after going about sixty miles their car broke down.
 Lawrence took a quart bottle of water and started to walk back to Delta for help. After fainting from heat and fatigue sometime in the after noon and recovering in the cool of the evening, he reached the settlement of Hickey, in such a condition that he was unable to tell of the plight of his family. Friends took him to Delta and there he recovered sui ficiently to ask aid for his family.
 About noon the day following the breakdown, Mrs. Lawrence started to walk to Delta with the children. They had gone five miles before they met the rescue party.
 l.. c. Burton and Mrs. Burton, of Washington, D. C., constituted the other party. They were taking a short cut" north of the Great Salt Lake at. the time and found on it a broken down car whose sole occupant was a small boy The boy said his father had gone to ranch for water,
 They gave the boy some of their dwindling supply of water and later gave what remained to the dogs and canary bird they were taking east with them. Their car breaking down some hours 1dtSI, tuSy utISl1lI1ilSu u walk back to that which they had passed earlier in the day. Hurrying through the heat, exhaustion was soon added to their troubles. One of the dogs was unable to walk further and MT. Burton carried it. Mrs Burton carried a peach pit in her mouth to alleviate the thirst, and bit down on it unconsciously and broke three of her teeth. MT. Burton said that their principal anxiety was that the car they sought would be gone before they could reach it. After eight hours walking and running they reached the car.
 Another party of automobilists had come up. including two University of California professors, and this party carried the Burtons back to their own car With the aid of the Californians the Burton car was started again and continued the trip.

CURFEW LAW VICTIMS ARE
 ON INCREASE

DUBLIN, Aug. 16 (by Associated Press).-The number of persons who are victims of the curfew law in- creases weekly and the experience which they all must go through is exciting, if not comfortable. The ma jority of those taken by the military are persons who had no intention of violating the law but are detained at the home of friend beyond midnight.
 The usual procedure is this. A mil itary motor lorry filled with soldiers each with a strong searchlight comes up along side of the unfortunate ones and calls upon them to halt. A re- quest is made for permit and if, as is usual, there is none forthcoming the Dublinites are taken into custody, loaded into the truck which then pro- ceeds on it's way.
 From time to time, joyful citizens, who have dined too we'll, are collected and join the party. When the search CTS are through the whole load of vio- laters are taken to the Bridwell prison where they must spend the night. If the offenders prove to be obviously innocent citizens they are released in the morning and are none the worse
 
 which they say is the worst feature of the experience
 Frequently attempts are made to hide from the approaching lorries but the searchlights reach the inner most corners of the doorways and passages and few escape.

NO EASY TASK
 TO VISIT HEAD
 OF SINN FEN

DUBLIN, Aug 16 (by Associated Press).-Arthur Griffith, editor of Young Ireland and the political head of Sim Fein, is said to be one of the most isolated and inaccessible men in Ire land. The few visitors daily received by him say they are impressed by the unpretentiousness of his surroundings. He is as difficult to see, they say, as any big American political leader.
 No person not known to Griffith may visit him in his office without previous arrangements made by some one high in the confidence of Sim Feinn. The situation is much the same as stranger attempting an in- terview with cabinet officer at Wash ington.
 Relieved that the irksome prelimi- naries have ended the stranger is taken down a side street, usherd into an unimposing room and led up two flights of narrow, unpainted steps to an office Inside the front door the stranger is confronted with a pine board partition with one small door through which he is taken. He passes through a scene familiar in any small town newspaper office into an uninvit- ing room where Griffith holds forth. The furniture consists of table in the middle of the room and few chairs.
 There is no necessity now nor has there been for many months for Grif- fifth to surround his movements with secrecy It has been stated that war rant for his arrest is ready but many leading Sim Feiners believe govern ment officials consider him a moderat- ing influence and worth more direct ing the partys activities than looked upon as a martyr in jail.
 Griffith is as unassuming as his surroundings are unpretentious. To one WHO QOoS not express CONTIGUOUS on the Irish question and therefore safety does not have any, Griffith leaves outstandingly the impression that he has ceased to believe any English government in Ireland exists. The one idea left is that the Republi- can government is ruling the country properly but having some difficulty with an army of occupation and num- Der of policemen.
 Our volunteers are maintaining order where representatives of the British government could not, our courts are organized and respected and other branches of our govern ment are working smoothly" said MT. Griffith to a correspondent.
 Griffith's sphere is only political, the planning an execution of force Of arms under jurisdiction of the volun teer army.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 16 (by As sociated Press) ).-The passing of Ma gellan's "isle of the thieves," the La drones, from German to Japanese control, marks the third time within a generation that the inhabitants have been subjected to 8 change in off cial language.
