There is No caus. for Alarm

In consequences Of publication to the effect that
under the provisions Of the financial code stating that

years amounting approximately 81 ooO" tobe

throughout the state.
From kilograms which are being received by
there seems to be misapprehension of the draught
by the of it's funds from every source to the
great embarrassment OF various localities.
Nothing OF this kind is contemplated. In the
first place every precaution has been taken in the
framing of the bill to avoid such embarrassment
The code would become operative for four months
within which time the could easily adjust itself
to the order. And when the act becomes opera
tive it is not expected and not desired that the gen.
eral fund should be filled. wise provision of the
code restricts expenditures that agency of the
state can expend in one fiscal quarter than
average fourth of appropriation for the
year.
There will be draught at all upon the funds
banks. The Of inactive funds it is stated is
not than 100000 and the state treasurer says
that there is available funds of the the
banks Of Phoenix and Tucson amounting to than
sSOo.Ooo The only effect which those who have been
made apprehensive of the result of this legislation
win feel, will be pleasantly felt by them in their
lower tax bills next year.

RISE OF ADVERTISING

According to good authority the eleventh
edition of the Encyclopedias Brittanica, the first
known newspaper advertisement appeared in London
in April, 1647.
1t sought purchasers for a book entitled "The
Divine Right of Church Government" which, the
reader informed might be had at the sign of
the Golden Fleece in the Old Change-not an nap-
proprate name for book shops of the present
day where undscriminating purchasers are feeced
into buying popular best sellers" whose only merit
is that they bring golden into the Golfers

Quackery or puffery.
And then the usual forces OF social evolution be-

bill means thousands of dollars annually to the tax

The Financial Code

The financial code is naturally not very pop
uar with the agencies Of the state which
have become used to rather free hand in dipping
the treasury in addition to handling all moneys
which were received by them and doing with 1t much
they pleased.
1t is one thing to have liberal fund set aside
and once set aside to be under the absolute control
of agency to be kept where 1t pleased. and quite
another for the agency go scrutinzing central
authority and explain why 1t needs money for this
that purpose.
The old system responsible for much Of the
waste in the past It could not be otherwise. Each
agency bombarded the legislature for the largest
possible appropriation 1t could secure always known
to be in excess of its needs. Then it became the
ambition Of the agency to use it up and that was
nearly always done by the employment OF unneeded
attaches or by travelling expenses
we are not limiting that there has been any
graft but any business man who has looked into any
department OF the state but be aware that
those who responsible have spent money which
they would have expended il it had been theirs
unless it had to them in generous allowances
which they were sure would be repeated when there
should be need OF it.
1t is so easy for the careful OF us to slough
Off money which we find in a public treasury. 1t is
not and it costs nothing Nor does It
longer belong to the taxpayers from whom has
been wrung. They bade 1t goodbye in exchange for
receipt and busy digging against the next tax
paying time.
The general appropriation bill which accompanies
the code makes liberal provision for the needs Of the
state. 1t alone will the heavily burdened tax
poyer almost million dollars in the expenditures Of
the ensuing fiscal year. We hope that the members
Of the legislature win stand firm against the mpor-
tunties Of those who are reluctant to be put upon
healthfuI ration.
In time they win come to appreciate it and
acknowledge the beauties OF it.

DUNN AND DUMMER ON THE
NAVAL AGREEMENT

1.-THE five-fiVe- three has gone
through" announced Senator DUNN,
as he collared his old friend, Repre-
sentative Dummer.
"The five-five- -three?" interrogat-
ed Representative Dummer. What
is that-a railroad train or a football
signal?"
Il am speaking of the five-five-
three naval ratio" explained Senator
DUNN. "The representatives of the
United States, England, and Japan at
the disarmament conference have
signed it."
Now that it has been signed, what
does it mean?" asked Dummer.
Il don't know exactly, but I'll ex-
plain it to you in detail" offered
Senator DUNN. In the first place,
assume you know what a ratio is"
Certainly" assured Representative
Dummer. Somebody wrote poem
about him."
"Who?" demanded Senator DUNN.
"This guy Ratio" returned Dunn
mer. Il think the name of it was
Ratio at the Bridge or sumpin' like
that"
"As stupid as ever!" exclaimed
Senator DUNN, flicking the ashes
from his stogie on to the vest of his
colleague. Ratio is not a guy and
nobody ever wrote a poem about him
even if he was. A ratio is a-er--
well, it's a good deal like a .
for instance, If l have two marbles
and you have two. why, then, you
see, we-er-er well, anyhow.
what it means is that the United
States and England can have five
warships each and Japan only three,
or at least keep that proportion"
What are we gonter do with the
ships we now have in stock?" asked
Dummer.
Turn 'em over to David Wark
Griffith" replied Senator DUNN.

I'VE, togethed with England and
Japan, have suddenly realized that
most Of them are too obsolete to be
any good in a real fight"
i suspect another reason de-
clared Representative Dummer.
What is it,"
Il think the real reason behind the
willingness of the United States TO
scrap most of it's warships is that
il wants to cut down the number Of
admirals running around the world
making undiplomauc breaks at din
ner parties"
"Mebbe So" agreed Senator
DUNN.
