NEW ISSUE Up
TO RENT BOARD
Fair Price Ruling on Furniture
Storage Space Sought
by Woman.

The District Rent Commission
this morning was asked to decide q
new rental issue, that of setting a
fair price for the storage Of furni-
ture.
Miss Asensth Cox filed complaint
against the United States Storage
Company declaring that she was
overcharged for furniture which
she had stored with the defendant
company.
SAYS CHARGES WE'RE ADDED.
According to her complaint she had
the same amount of furniture stored
in Philadelphia for S3.76 a month. She
declares that upon inquiry the rates
OF the defendant company were quoted
at S3 q month for 200 feet open space
and SO for q private room. and that
when she had stored her furniture
she says she received bill chsrg-
ing her $40 a month for open space
and $3.50 for handling charges. She
declares the handling charges were
not mentioned when she made ar
rangements for storage space.
The storage company in its answer
states that the charge for a private
room. of 200 cubic feet space, is
only 81 q month and not SO as stated
by the complainant. The company
explains that the $3.50 mentioned Is
a labor and not a hauling charge. 1t
Is further set forth In the answer
that some time after storing her fur
niture the complainant removed some
OF her goods and that the $40 a month
charge was then reduced to 81.
The company declares that II has
been In business since 1901 and that
this is the first time the fairness of
it's charges has been questioned.

Another Poor Fish

Another Poor Fish
 Phoenix. Ariz, Feb. 3, 1920. Dear Mir Editor:
 The reading Of the -'sardine- letter in your Tuesdays issue has embold- ered me to voice my protest against the mana cement of the now famous Pershing luncheon at the Womans club on last Friday. It is lncOnceiv- able for us 10 believe that the director ate Of the Red Cross deliberately planned te insult the womanhood of the Salt River Valley-especially when we remember the loyal support this same vomanhood gave them during the period of the late war. IL Is there fore only charitable to conclude that they were simply lacking in executive ability
 As q member of the Woman's club the writer has attended many celebra- t;ons of Good fellowship Day" in that auditorium. where more than 200 Wom- en have been comfortably seated and adeclIately served to a hot luncheon with no lack of provisions and no con fusion in their distribution This ls the result of executive ability. and mat only can plan and care for large crowd. The present directorate or tlle Red Cross have now given puDnc demonstration of their lack oS eXecu- tive ability-something well known m the inner circles for some tlne- ana the women of this valley are going To re
  sistance in the future unless the man agement is changed We cannot soon forget our chagrin and humiliation or last Friday. It is a sorry state when inc noble institution Of the Red Cross is so badly commerclalIZed- II the chapter was in need or Iunos IneE hao only to make it known and the loyal womanhood of the community would have instituted a campaign 10 meet their needs They chose rather to eN- pIoit us and took money at the door Tor a lunch they knew they could not serve, and we were forced. poor Ilsh, 10 real ize that our money would pay TOT lunch for the directorate to sit down to upstairs while we stood below and waited.
 When we were finally admitted to the auditorium. we were treated 10 an other colossal exhibition of their stu niditv and lack of management The receiving line. and the serving table the latter far too small Tor the occa- sion were both placed at the entrance end of the room, and all the crowd packed here while they struggled for their lunch, and to meet the guest or inc occa sion Meanwhile a chosen few were occupying half the floor space m dancing-this also being done with the consent of the directorate. even after the impropriety of it had been SpecIally called to their attention
 Many of us abandoned the pursuit or the Iunch-the .'coT plate aptiy termed. and with aching backs. tired limbs. and strained nerves, resigned ouselves to stand and await the pleas ure of the directorate. when they had received sufficient personal glory ana would allow the general to speak 10 us remembering that it has been truly said They also serve who only stand '''''' ONE WHO STOOD.

AUSTRALIANS ANXIETY

S hear that the great English speaking people occupying the minor continent of Australia the side of the United States in of trouble in the Pacific.
 We read in the Melbourne Review that the Aus tralians watching-anxously, says the Review the progress of diplomatic action between America and Japan and hoping fervently that no break will between the great powers.
 But" says the Australian paper, in of war, would impossible for Australia to remain neutral. As between yellow and white, we would be with white brothers"
 The Melbourne Review discusses the case at length. We have what happened in Europe when a great and prolific nation hem med in and blocked whenever it sought outlet for it's surplus people. What will occur if, in the far east another vrile and prolific people is debarred from expansion in those fields it regards right fully belonging it?"
 The Australia editor points to the fact that the density in the German empire before the great 324 per square mile. Japan it is 3S2. In Ger the whole of the land could be lived although not all fertile half che of the Japanese islands is uninhabitable. Actually therefore the density in Nippon is 500 the square mile.
 Under these circumstances, the Review Australians hope the United States will put obstacles in the way of the Japanese spreading northeastern Asia and to some of the lightly popu lated warm islands of the East Indies. This the editor, will satisfy Japan and in the Pacific.
