COMPULSORY THRIFT

Save ten per cent of your salary or sacrifice
your job was an ultimatum issued by group
of public utility corporations in the northern
portion of Kansas some time ago.
There can be no question as to the relative
value of two classes of employees, when one class
represents those who practice systematic thrift,
and the other class is composed of persons who
live daily from hand to mouth The former en-
courages thought and caution and true sense of
obligation to Others the latter encourages shift
lessness and reckless disregard of an employ
er's interests and the property rights of others.
One tends to build integrity and character; the
other evades many of the duties of real manhood
and true citizenship.
In assigning reason for this compulsory
thrift, one of the officials of group of tele-
phone, and light and power companies which
have adopted this course, made the following ex-
PLANTATION:
Any employee who has learned to handle his
own finances successfully, and adopt system
attic savings plan is valuable asset to his or
ganization, and it is this that justified the man
agement in making the thrift idea compulsory.
Kansas has proposed and inaugurated many
plans and methods for the general uplift of its
industrial affairs in the past, but none which has
more potential elements of success than this one
of compulsory thrift.

MEXICO's OUTLOOK

Colonel F. S. Breen, a recent visitor to Nogales,
stated that he looked for the re-opening of
Mexico at an early date and the resumption of
trade between Mexico and the United States up
on far greater scale than hitherto conducted.
COL Breen but carries out the conviction that
many business men, we'll versed in international
affairs and particularly Mexico, express. There
is no doubt but that Mexico, today, stands upon
the theshod of an era of prosperity. Help from
the United States will bring Mexico over into
that promising era. Disregard from the United
States will throw the southern republic back in
to the chaos from which it has, just recently,
emerged. With the passing of Fall from active
participation in the affairs of the committee
upon whose reports of Mexico so much depended,
we will gain better, clearer and more unbiased
view into the actual affairs Of that nation. To
prolong recognition of Mexico is to virtually
force that nation into another series of revolu-
tlOnS and counter revolutions, but with moral
support there are no limits to the extent of ad-
vancement that could be made at the present
time under the present administration. It is true
that there are several articles in the constitution
of that country that are unfair to American in
vestors. But, those matters will be satSfactor-
lily attended to- In an amlcable manner, after the
necessary moral support has been given Mexico.
For several years after the great struggles of
the United States petty guerilla warfare sur
vived Had we been accorded the same treat
Inent at the hands of France after the Revolu-
tionary war of 1776, it is safe to say that we
would not have prospered as well as we did. The
fact of knowing that we were supported by
powerful nation gave us the moral stamina to
go ahead, to progress and to form our own gov
ernment. Mexico at the present time needs our
support. Is the United States going to allow her
to step from her present place in the sunlight of
resumed Importance back into the Stygian dark
ness of financial depression, revolution and OBJ
livion or will the United States accord her the
moral and financial support that is now neces-
sary.-Nogales Herald

BAD, BAD, BAD BUSINESS

Governor Hunt in his message to the state
legislature recommended that the time for the pay
ment of delinquent taxes be extended and that
"n addition any taxpayer who pays his taxes
within a reasonable time after the next or sue
ceeding harvest be exempted from the interest,
fees, penalties and costs now provided by law to
be collected for such delinquency
And Senate Bill No l would exempt payment
of back taxes until January, 1924.
The recommendation and the bill both are
frankly in the interest of Maricopa county de-
lnquents.
Because Salt River valley farmers gambled on
cotton, and lost, it is planned to make our rid
iculously loose tax laws still looser. st
This attempt to reduce the income of the state
and counties in the interest of favored few WILL
If successful, make the financing of the states
business and the support of its institutions a
problem hard to solve. 1t will pass along to the
next administration a pretty package of insolv-
ency. It will do great injury to our schools and
what it will do to our state highway department
which already, according to State Engineer
Frank Goodman, faces imminent collapse before
March unless the legislature appropriates
1886, ,58667 for immediate use, is plenty, and
then some.
And all to what purpose?
Simply to give something to a county that de-
spite the tax hardships its citizens complain of
continues at every opportunity to increase those
taxes by voting bonds for every conceivable pur-
election, in heavily bonding the rest of the state
to give it an exclusive weekend road to Califor-
nia
Investigation of Maricopa's taxbooks will un-
doubtedly show what investigation of Coconinos
taxDooks shows: That a large part of the taxes
now delinquent become delinquent while crops
and crop prices, and consequently times, were
exceedingly good; also that many of those de-
inquent probably majority of them are peo-
pie and corporations who can very well afford to
pay.
In this county, for instance, one person last
fall delinquent to the extent of $4,000 was and
at all times had been quite able to pay.
Even if the proposed tax easer doesn't pass,
its recommendation by the governor and the in
PRODUCTION of the bill favoring it will greatly
slow up the collection of taxes. It is bad busi-
ness, especially discouraging to the vast major-
ity of our citizens who conscientiously pay their
taxes promptly when due and feel it an obliga-
ton as honest and binding as any other debt.

CONSIDER THE SOURCE

The Monitor. monthly publication of the
Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
publishes an article in it's January number writ
ten by L. P Dance and entitled Crossing the
Desert"
Dance flivvered from somewhere west of Flag
staff through here to New Mexico Here is his
reference to Flagstaff:
Mrs. d. decided that she. would ride on the
truck to Los Lunas, so we started and by high
noon arrived in Flagstaff, for as you know it is
a very high town, much frequented by tourists
and summer Normalites. Our route was over
what is known to tourists as the National Old
Trails Highway; it is high all right but it is too
old now to be enjoyed as route to travel over,
and as it passes through country filled with
nothing except distance, was certainly afine trip
and long to be forgotten"
Though The Monitor unfavorably advertises
our highway, Flagstaff people will enthusiastic
ally agree that as a highway it is twice the sue
cess that the Mountain States is as telephone
company.

WASTE LESS

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon says: Let
US make 1923 better and more prosperous year
than 1922. 1t can be done if all of us will unite
to save more and waste less The federal govern
ment will take the lead in saving It is cutting
expenditures to the limit in order to balance its
budget and reduce the burden of taxation For
the last completed fiscal year it shows reduc-
tion of about 81 ,0G0, 100000 in the gross debt,
balanced budget, and successful refunding oper
ations which have reduced the yearly maturing
debt to manageable proportions"

It is recalled that the old method of selecting
legislative attaches-the way introduced by
Messrs Campbell and Roberts, present members
of the senate when they were members of an
earlier senate-was the best They then served
as members of the so-called patronage committee
and they divided their labors Systematically into
two parts -pulchritude and efficiency. Mr.. Rob-
erts was judge of applicants as to the former and
Mr.. Campbell as to the latter. The result was
that the lady attaches were both handsome and
competent. Republican.

The union members convicted of stalling west
ern passenger trains in the desert as part of the
strike demonstrations of last summer have been
fined an aggregate of $4,000, with the assurance
that their union organizations will pay the fines.
The penalty is in no way commensurate with the
crime, and the unions should be thankful that
the punishment was no heavier The convic-
tions and punishment will stand as a warning to
other labor organizations that seek to win their
demands by bringing suffering to an innocent
public.

sist the strain A very substantial
type of corner post is shown In the
Illustration. 1t is made Of rein
forced concrete with a vertical sec
tion IL inches square and two wings
each six inches thick, extending In the
direction of the two lines Of fence
which meet at the corner.
Forms Are Necessary.
To make such a post, forms are
necessary and the first step is the ex-
cavation to provide room for them
Ordinary one-inch lumber is good
for form use In work Of this kind
since 1t can be braced with little diff
Guilty. The forms are put together
20 that the post, wings and all. is cast
in one operation. The reinforcing
for the vertical part consists of seven
steel rods, e-sixteenths Of an inch In
diameter, arranged on the two out
side faces Of the post at intervals OF
about three inches, with about one
inch space between the bars and the
surface. Similar bars extend down
through the post and into the lower
part of the wings, two bars being used
for each wing
Rich Mixture Used.
The concrete mixture used is one
part cement, two parts Of well-graded
sand and three parts of pebbles or
broken stone, with no particle larger
than one inch in diameter. This is
a rather rich mixture" but since
strength is the principal requirement
it is the proper one to use.
No strain should be put on the
post until 1t has hardened for at least
four weeks. During this time ii
should be thoroughly wetted at least
once every day so the concrete may
attain It's maximum strength.
