COST LESS THAN ONE-HALF OF ONE PER CENT TO
 COLLECT INCOME TAX

That the taxpayers of the Arizona internal revenue district may know that the money paid by them to the federal government is being used all most entirely for the benefit of the government and that it is being col lected with minimum of expense, Judge Alfred Franklin, collector of in ternal revenue for the district of Ari- zona, has prepared a summary of the report of the internal revenue serv- ice for 1920.
 The outstanding feature of the re- port is the fact that the collection of internal revenue for 1920 entailed no expense on the part of the government of less than one-half of l per cent of the total collections.
 Following is the summary:
 Figures for the present year are not available and cannot be ascertained in advance of the report of the commits sioner of internal revenue, but taxpay- CTS will be interested in knowing the operations of the internal revenue bu- reau during the fiscal year of 1920, under the war revenue act of 1918 and other internal revenue tax legislation.
 The record of the internal revenue bureau may properly be regarded with pride and satisfaction by all citizens. The raising of nearly $S,000, ,000, ,000, involving direct transactions with more than 4,000,000 taxpayers, within the fiscal year 1918 and 1919, and of over eight and one-half billion dollars in the first "A months under the 1917 and 1918 laws when other demands had to be met by every family and ev- cry business is evidence of the highest type of citizenship. The cost of col lection has been so low that the re- suit must be recognized as pre-emin- ently an accomplishment of the people. Not every citizen has been privileged to bear arms or to render signal pub lie service during the war, but in the payment of internal revenue taxes ev- cry American has had the opportun- ity to recognize and support in an or derly, substantial, and equitable man. ner, the established institutions of government and the constitution of the United States.
 The duty devolving on the officers and employees of the internal revenue bureau has been to make known the requirements of the law, to aid in the interpretation of it's provisions as ap- piled to varying conditions of fact, to provide the machinery through which tax liability might be acknowledged and discharged by citizens, and, final ly, to enforce the collection of tax from the relatively small number of persons who, through ignorance or in tention, have failed to meet the full Requirements of the law. But from the outset of the administration of the new tax program it has been the fixed policy of the treasury department to

 The report of the committee named to select a site for a girls industrial school was referred to the board of di- rectors of state institutions with in structions to make it's recommendation to the next legislature, the concensus of opinion being that it would be un- wise to make a selection on short mo- tice.
 One of the features of the evening was the presentation to the president of the senate of wonderful basket of flowers, also a gold watch. Short ly after it's appearance, another floral offering was placed on the press ta- ble.
 This consisted of potted plant, bearing fruits and vegetables, in- cluding onions and lemons, and sur mounted by palm.
 "It only goes to show the wonder ful productivity of our soil" said Sen ator Sims, flowers on one hand and vegetables on the other, all raised in Arizona under an Arizona sum-
 "The practical attitude of the press is we'll typifed by the vegetables said President Wilkinson; while the flowers on the presidents desk might be taken to indicate his romantic at titude."

PHOENIX-The first regular ses- sion of the Fifth Arizona legislature closed its deliberations at 6:10 this morning, following an all night ses- sion in which banter and felicitation, intrigue and jockeying, feverish ex- citement and general stress were com bined in equal portions to concoct legislative jamboree suggestive Of cubist's nightmare.
 It was a night of strenuous activ- ity. The legislators worked like tro- jans in a mad endeavor to make up for the weeks of dilly-dallying which has featured this session and to crowd ln- to few short hours the work of days. The result was bedlam. Four and five clerks read simultaneously at times, while the officers tried to keep check on what was being read. As for the members, some times they balloted, some times they argued, some times they wanted to know what had become of pet measures, but mostly they an swered roll call, and very often with out knowledge or care of what bill was under consideration.
 Midnight found both houses at log gerheads. Republicans were demand ing that the tax anticipation bond bill be reported out of the house commit tee. democrats were demanding cer- tain concessions in the general appro- priation bill, the senate was refusing to concur in house amendments to the appropriation bill and house members were standing pat that they would block the appropriation bill all summer if the senate did not get busy with house bills. This required the ap- pointment of conference committees and provoking delays, but at last the solons struggled through the bulk of their task and called the job done. Many returned to their homes today.
 The outstanding feature of the ses- sion was the passage of the omnibus highway bill and tax anticipation bond bill, which will result in an adjustment of state finances.
 A final amendment imposed limits to the operation of the act to the end of the next fiscal year.
 The civil administration bill advo- cated by Governor Campbell, calling for an entire reorganization of the state departments, was killed in com- mittee.
 The workmen's compensation law, establishing a state industrial com mission, was passed.
 Following are some of the more i'm portant measures put through in the night session: Real estate brokers license law; providing that court may appoint competent disinterest- ad nhySician to make an examination bafore trial in personal injury cases;

near Doney Park, in time to make camp by daylight. The big truck had preceded the girls, carrying bedding and camps, so it was not long before everything was in fine shape and a good supper prepared.
 A hay ride and an evening of stunts furnished amusement for the first night and on the following night a ceremonial meeting was held when the various girls expressed their desires to further their work along camp fire lines.
 On Sunday morning an impressive ly simple service was held, showing the girls neglect no part of a well rounded life. A chicken dinner was a fitting conclusion to the outing, which all voted loads of fun. The little dampness incident to the trip seems to have been only an occasion for mothers to worry over, for none will admit that it in any way proved det7 riment to the well organized outing.

Destruction Of st. Paul's Church by
notable ecclesiastical landmarks of the
District. The original church was
built in 1719 and was reconstructed in
1776. It was in its first form the oldest
church in Washington and its recon-
struction followed closely the original
design. The loss is irreparable. A
new church will undoubtedly be erect
ed. but 1t will not quite replace the
familiar old edifice. 1t should be re-
stored as nearly as possible on the
first lines.
A mystery surrounds the fire. the
origin of which cannot be ascertained.

conceived as having a possible motive.
the blaze must have been started
through the carelessness of intruders,
whose purpose in entering the church

have flowed freely. New Workers have

politan wetness was such that nobody
need to go to Cuba or Canada or any
other outlying oasis for a drink. The
police have done nothing to enforce
the law and the prohibition forces,
fighting against heavy odds. have been
unable to cope with the Illicit traffic,
which has become fragrant and un-

The Japanese-American Problem.
A news note says


members Of the Japanese parliamen,
VIII leave Toxic April Is for the
United States en- route to Washington
The purpose of the party Is to get
acquainted with members Of Congress
mere to promote good relations be-
tween the two countries"
This visit should contribute to a bet
ter understanding between America
and Japan-something all good Amer.
leans and all good Japanese should
heartily desire and strive for.
Japanese soldiers and sailors. schol.
ars and capitalists Of distinction have
from time to time visited us, been
cordially entertained, and departed for
home well impressed with America and
convinced Of the desire Of the Ameri.
can people for the welfare of the
japanese people.
Here now will be Japanese legisla
tors-men familiar with government
and governmental processes-familiar
with the majesty and power of public
sentiment-who will see America and
confer with American legislators at
an excellent time for gathering in
formation about the problem that is
disturbing the two countries.
A new administration is just begin
ming to function. It will soon have
the japanese problem in hand. A new
American ambassador to Japan will
soon be selected, and soon after take
up his duties at Toxic. These visitors,
therefore. will find the topic upper
most with them right to the point
with us. Both the President and
members Of the Congress will be pre-
pared and willing to discuss with them
informally the subject that explains
their presence in the country.
Anti.American japanese and anti.
japanese Americans are not in con-
troll Of the situation. and there is no
reason why they should be allowed to
take control. If the really representa-
tive men Of the two countries are alert
they can shape the course for con,
tinued peace and friendship.

Mental Disorder and Bail.

A remarkable condition Of law pre-.
walls in this District in respect to the
treatment of persons who are suspect
ed OF dangerous mental disorder and
are apparently bent upon inf1icting in
jury upon others. Not long ago a man
made a murderous attack upon a retir-
ing senator and, being arrested on a
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon, was released on bail and was
at large for several hours. He was
later taken into custody, however, and
held for examination as to his sanity
Yesterday another case developed in
the Police Court, where a man who
had, according to the charges against
him. threatened his family was re-
leased on bond against tho appeals of
the district attorney and tho police
surgeon. =
In these cases the charge is either
wrongly drawn or the court exercises
too merciful a disposition. A man is
but assuredly in case Of suspected
mental unbalance with a tendency to
do harm to others the greater mercy
is to be shown to possible victims and
if the charge specifically laid does not
permit holding without bond it should
be changed in an Instances Of alleged
insanity.

sentative Of the district attorney had
no alternative but to propose admission
to bail. In the second case b xsoom.
