Let's Go to Casa Grande

Phoenix should begin making preparations al- ready the third Carlos day celebration which will be held Casa Grande on August 12. This is the third annual celebration. At the first, hsd at Florence Phoenix generously represented It will be derelict this year if it fails to send special train to the celebration.
 Phoenix is hardly less interested in the devel- opraent of Casa Grande and the country thereabout and Florence and it's vicinity than the people of those districts Our interests -confined to that rather indefinitely bounded area which we can the Salt River valley. We concerned Tn the 6sila River valley and its development well, for neither alley can attain it's full agricultural growth without the complete development Of the other
 Nor are we to look the Florence Casa o,tande region as backscountry of the Salt River valley or the towns of that region tributary to Phoenix but we should regard the district a part of our own and our a part of that.
 August 12 is not likely to be very busy time with us--it falls in slack of the year. so tha, we may easily well as profitably join in the celebration.

One Days Work

The best Phoenix boosting story we have heard comes from the circulation department of The Re publican and carries with it the proof that Phoenix is all right Otherwise the narrated events could not have happened.
 The chief of the carrier boys has been putting series of ''one-day circulation drives" The first one was put some weeks ago and aimed at 100 subscribers for the single day. The number was easily surpassed little later "200- subscriber day drive was Started and that night than 200 new subscribers were The Republicans list.
 A 300- subscriber one-day drive set for last Friday. When the last carrier reported Friday night the total was found to 5o2.
 All these subscribers were taken at the full monthly rate A very large majority of them were taken for only month, but that made differ ence, for when The Republican gets a subscriber for month expects to keep him long he is able to read The Republican seldom loses subscribers, so that monthly subscriber becomes a member of the family and is just good yearly subscriber.
 No special incentive offered to these sub- scribers. reduced figures extra time-just the regular rate. The young salesmen of The Repub- licans had nothing to offer except the every Republican but it was enough.

Departmental Expenses

So far as know, of the heads Of the state departments and offices have formulated replies s Governor Carnpbelrs Inquiry addressed to them on Friday, whether the looping off of so much of the appropriations made for them by the Fifth egs- lature as has been proposed by the taxpayers com mattee would interfere with their operations.
 We do not claim superior degree of perspicacity but we think we know what in substance these replies win bea concert of YES in the upper case The various departments wanted all they got and more.
 We believe with the committee that the appro- prations were too great that the business the departments could be conducted with much less help by system Of pruning, by cutting out all inef- ffcient attaches. And when that has been done if not enough help has been left by the process the employment of attaches who efficient and who would be glad to serve for the generous salaries which being paid. There would then be a saving of not only money, but also of room in of the departments which suffering of congestion.
 But all the saving of money which might thus be effected only reducing the expenses depart mert would probably equal the expense of hold ing extraordinary session of the legislature And then there is the uncertainty to which have ferred whether the legislature would reduce these appropriations it had chance. If we were going to bet it. would bet that it would not
 As to the greater savings proposed by the reduc- ton of other appropriaonsthose for the roads, the university the normal schools. etc. we doubt very much whether that would be subject to legislative action If the legislature should be disposed act These appropriations have already been made Agreements have been entered into. if com pietey least tentatively for the expenditure of part of the road fund and parts the various edu cationa1 funds Quasi -contractua1 relations have grown up with which very much doubt whether the legislature could interfere, if it would.

To the Editor of The Republican,.
 With reference to an intervie,r published in the Arizona Repphfsc.,, of Saturday. quoting MT. Lors3 Naughn or the corporation comuais- sion as opposed to ''junketing trips, - D. F. Johnson, chairman of the com mission. has given out the following statement:
 Commissioner vaughn's statement as published is inaccurate and unfair 10 the other members of the commits sion, in that he inadvertently or oth- erwise makes it appear that he Alone or the commissioners favored tho economy of which he speaks.
 The article states with reference to the fact that Mir. Vaughn and MT. Williamson, the secretary. had been authorized to attend the annual meet ing Of the National Association of Security Commissioners. that Vaughn had the order rescinded.
 As a matter Of fact the srbseet was first discussed in executive ses- sion held July 2s and at that time one commissioner and the secretary were delegated to attend the meeting. Mir. Vaughn spoke in favor of this action and the record shows that he voted in favor Of it with the other two commissioners.
 Later the commission discussed the matter in the light of the trend for rigid economy. and informally agreed to call off the trip, feeling that despite the benefits to Arizona in sending a representation, the expense was one which might we'll be elimi- mated.
 No motion was made by Conrnis- . sioner Vaughn or any other connnis- . sioner to reseind the former order. IL was simply mutualy and informally agreed by all of the commissioners to forego the previous Arrangements. and MT. Vaughn had no greater voice in the matter than either of the other two commissioners"

Thomas Maddoek, state engineer. not only will furnish 12 trucks which will transport the boys to the camPsite but will also contribute complete camp equipment There will be nothing lacking for the convenience of the campers.
 Rayson Gives Mess Hall

We'll All Be Represented

MT. Gompers desires that labor may be repre- sented at disarmament conference. Certainly 1t should be will So will the farmers, of them will represented, provided they Amer ican citizens. the men whom the president will choose to represent the whole country.
 The questions which be settled that conference are not such concern only any one element of American citizens. They ele- ments alike. whether all individuals alike are con- cerned in them as they should be-
 There are no conflicting American interests to be adjusted in that conference which would call for special representation any element. There is therefore, no reason why organized labor or employers should have special representative there why there should be special representa- tives for blonde Americans and brunette Americans to see that neither brunettes get mament or limitation of armament.
 If however, the scope of the conference should be extended beyond present expectations include international relationships each affecting some one interest each should have special repre- sentation-labor capital the farmer and every other element
 We have sometimes thought that MT Gompers studiously setting labor apart above every thing else in this country. demanding special priv leges for it and special legislation regardless of the effect of this legislation and the granting of these privifeses upon the other elements.
