Referring to your editorial entitled "An Injurious Order" it is evident fro man analysis of it that the writer has not given as much consideration to the subject as has the corporation commission.
 In the first place the objection of the federal prohibition enforcement department of this state to the con- fiscation clause in insurance policies is that it is against public policy in so far as 1t specifically insures the dealer against confiscation Of the au- tomobile by the user of the machine under a conditional sales contract in case of violation by said user of tl9r national prohibition act or other laws of the United States relating to the transportation of intoxicating liquors or other articles subject to restricted sale. It also expressly provides that upon payment of loss by the insur- ance company, the automobile dealer shall deliver to the insurance com pany all conditional sale contracts, notes and other securities relating to the confiscated automobile. and that the insurance company shall be sub- rogated to all the rights of the auto- mobile dealer hereunder.

forced out of business, and it is only very recently that some of those en- gagged in the automobile business dis covered that they could be protected against their governments enforcing the law by adding a confiscation clause to it, so new that the clause is not incorporated in standard insur- ance policies but is added as a rider.
 Under the customs laws of the United States, existing and in opera tion long before the prohibition act was enacted, forfeitures of vehicles used in violating the customs laws were invariably decreed, except only in cases of involuntary possession, as against the owner. In effect these customs laws were far more drastic than the national prohibition act re- specting forfeitures. as the vehicles themselves were deemed the of lenders. regardless of claim of inno- cent ownership. and the only showing under them that would justify a re- turn to the owner was that the ve- hicle was involuntariiy taken from his possession But we know of no cases of insurance against such losses until the passage of the national pro- hibition act.
 The writer is also fully aware that there are many automobile dealers in Phoenix and elsewhere and many in- surance companies who do not accept insurance against confiscation for the reason that they believe that it is contrary to public policy. In my humble judgment no more meritorious order for the public good has ever been made by the corpora tion commission.

A MUSICAL FAMILY

Among those joys for which news paperinen are duly thankful Is the privilege. rarely extended, of residing next door to a musical family. If the newspaper man is employed on a morning paper the delights of the privilege are enhanced to a degree aporeciable only by a neurotic living
 in the vicinity of a boiler factory.
 A musical family is a peculiar in- stitution. In the first place, its ideas of music are usually decidedly fu- turistic- Hearts and Flowers" played on violin, flute and harp do not appeal to it. Trembling lullabies softly drawn out. soft melodies whis- pered across the strings of violin cello, and erooning songs breathed tenderly have no place in it's roper toire. On the contrary
 But to get down to facts, which will explain the foregoing. We know musical family The instruments in which 1t denghts are a xylophone, set of drums, piano, a cornet. photograph and an automobile with out muffler. The hours of practice are between 2 o'clock in the morn ing and II o'clock at night, and the daily schedule is about as follows:
 am. Member of family arises and tunes the automobile engine. The xylophone was tuned just before re- tiring the evening before. The en- zine is keyed to B flat and emits notes of a deep bass which have an extraordinary carrying power. When fully speeded up, however, it devel- ops crescendo midway between the sound Of laundry siren and the high c of a San Francisco cabaret singer. The mufflel is gone from this partic- ular machine, and 1t has gear shift that reminds the auditor of the last state legislature.
 am. Xylophone practice. This comprises the playing of all the latest jazz music without regard to the orig inal composition, but with a seeming overpowering wish to hit all the keys at once. The player we know has never accomplished this yet, but we are betting that he will before Christ mas
 l am. Drum solo. Taere is nothing in the world of music so touching, so l intriguing, so soothing to the heart and brain as the Berceause from Jos lyn played on snare drum. Next to

 There Is nowhere else in the world such fire wasteful people as we of America. At a late meet ing in San Francisco President W. D.

EUROPE HOPES FOR CREDITS

There is almost universal hope in Europe that credit extension will continue until Europe is nearer being her feet,' said w. Irving Buard, Boston banker upon his recent return from a four months tour of European countries. That like postponement of debt interest. is regarded mutually beneficial. Europe lent credit in the nineteenth century; should, with fates reversed, give her credit freely in the twentieth century.
 Credit is the key-word today in Europe-with exchanges badly deranged and its transactions reverting almost entirely back to the primitive stage barter. That manifested at the Brussels financial conference. It is manifested in the Ter Meulen plant of individual credits and debits mobi lized behind a government bond guarantee.
 All countries in Europe competitors for commercial credits, needed foods and materials bought They bill lions on floating account now beside 13 billions funded; they may need. would like, to roll up other billions of credits floating before they can begin to whittle down the gross debt And that whitting will involve two things, appreciated by every European merchant and banker with whom talked.

And here comes in their wonderment as our Ford ney bill, and general tariff policy.

automobile dealer, and there may be such who have knowledge of the use for which the car is purchased? have now in my office one of such policies, issued to one of the most notorious bootleggers in this state, one of the most persistent violators of the national prohibition act
 The writer of the editorial says in the second para graph: Tt removes entirely the only insurance the agencies can have, that an automobile sold by them on the installment plan, and practically every automobile is so sold, that it will never be paid for. Not one car in a thousand sold on the installment plan ever becomes iden- tified with the unlawful transporta- tion of Hquor.v The two sentences in this paragraph do not seem t5 be in accord. Thes first sentence as- sumes that unless the dealer can have confiscation insurance the car will never be paid for. It assumes that the man who buys the car must go in the liquor business and have his car confiscated by the government SC that the dealer may get paid for it In the next sentence 1t says that not one car in a thousand sold on the in- staliment plan ever becomes identi-
  of liquor. If this contention be true why all this hysteria of the automo- bile dealers regarding the order oi the corporation commission. why tho necessity of the insurance clause pro- tecting the dealer against confiscatior by the government of machines eH gagged in the liquor traffic if only one machine in thousand sold on the in stallment plan ever becomes identi- fled with the unlawful transportation of liquor? How does this order oi the corporation commission impose ( fatal handicap upon the automobile selling business of Arizona and leave vacant nine-tenths of the offices am salesrooms of automobile row il Phoenix?

advertising tables in the composing room:
 A human kiss is defined as an in stinctive gesture. Printing is a ges- ture which may be well defined as a kiss between type and paper, leav- ing its imprint-the ink.
 As the human kiss registers the soul of man, so the kiss of printing reg isters the soul of the art We have been negiectful in not rendering to printing its highest consideration. We have been inclined to emphasize its mechanical features. underscore its volume of output and underline its classification as a comparative in dustry.
 The human kiss with its various shadings, from that of the callow youth to the finished osculation of the past master, interspersed with the slobbering of that of the uncouth, the performance of the amateur. has it's various counterparts in printing.
 The human kiss has it's vaporings invisible, volatile; transporting the recipients to a state ecstacy, frenzy: perhaps only momentarily. leaving memories only, to be recalled in pro- portion to the recipients passion. Even among those most highly en- dowed to memory, the exactness of the reaction of the gesture can never be accurately recalled, and, so. the irrepressible desire to ''go to press" renewing itself-of the species-gen- eration after generation.
 No apology is made for animating printing through the analogy of a human kiss
 If it points to the soul of printing then we shall have not compared in vain.
 If an art, a trade, a vocation has no soul, it is then a monotonous hab- it, slavedom-to be borne to the end by only faith and hope.
 But. printing - living, vital force -is ever functioning with its me chanical, material and chemical allies ever guided by its soulful tune. Each impression a kiss, each kiss an inspiration for another. Irrepress- ible - irresistible - i1destructible.

If There Should Be A Strike

 A strike while 1t would be disastrous would not be such calamity would first suppose. That is. it would not such general tieup as a strike of similar magnitude would have caused years ago. It would probably result in further and rapid development of automobile truck systems and of passenger carrying systems local industries to meet the needs of communities.
 There would be trouble in moving long distance freights perhaps, but most of local shipments would be taken of by trucks. We are not in dependent of the railroads by any means but would not be entirely helpless without them

 It is also possible. in the event of strike, the truck business would be developed that much of the local traffic the trucks would take would be retained by them after the railroads had resumed operations else the roads would be compelled to moderate their present high rates.
