About the only business there is
any competition in nowadays is the
automobile business, and that is in
great measure due to Henry Ford
and his ability to make huge profits
where his competitors don't stand to
make half as much. The prices on
autos would go way up if Henry
should he pursuaded to join the auto
trust which flnanciers are trying to
organize. Credit and cash count
more in the auto business than any
other manufacturing enterprise. The
credit and money in the automobile
business OF Arizona alone, If utilized
IN the farming or mining business of
this state would, in ten years, add
fifty millions to those products from
this state But let some shrewd
linanciers form pool to buy out
Henry Ford, the auto business would
fall into q closed corporation and in
two years more you couldn't buy a
tafl-light for what you can buy q tin
lizzie for now.

The principal features were the barred

Screened Homes in Phoenix Should
Be oIigatory.-Phoenix municipality
should pass an ordinance that all the
homes built inside the city limits
should be armored against flies and
mosquitoes and other insect pests that
mar the pleasure of visiting guests
and add sickness and discomfort to
its residents. In this climate of soft
winters ordinary window screens rust
out in about three seasons and the
stinging pests make for discomfort at
meal time and impossible rest and
repose at night The owner of an
unscreened home should not be al
lowed to charge rent for it.

office, and DIR. J. G. Royse, as
sistant secretary Of the State board
Of health.
Jackson refused to comment on
the action, but it has been known
for several weeks that he djsap-
proved Of the attitude of the two.
Word Transmitted
Early today Jackson summoned
Newman T. Miller, State fire mar
shall, and directed that Mrs Wheat
crafts services be discontinued i'm
mediately. Miller transmitted the
word to Mrs. Wheatcraft. Miller's
term expired several months ago,
and thus far Jackson has seen fit
to hold Miller in doubt as to reap
pointment
1t is understood Miller will insist
that Mrs. Wheatcraft vacate her
position, although it has been ar
gued that he, too, might resign. Mrs.
Wheatcraft, who is vice chairman
of the Republican State committee,
will work in the interest of Senator
James e. WatSon'S candidacy for
reelection to the United States Sen
ate in 1926, it has been announced.
Ends Battle
Dismissal of DIR. Royse ends a
long battle between him and DR..
William F. King, secretary of the
State board of health. Some months
ago DR.. King discharged Royse, but
he was reinstated by the newly ap-
pointed board Of health.
"It couldn't have been much
worse" was DIR. Royse's only COM
ment when informed of Jackson's
action.
The general assumption Of State
house employees was that Jackson
felt Mrs. Wheatcraft and DIR. Royse
were giving too little time to their
assigned duties and too much time
to politics.

What political experts view
as the heaviest attack upon the
city administration since pri-
mary campaign days was in
preparation today and is sched-
uled to break forth at a meet
ing of city council tonight.
With three councilmen absent on
vacation, the six other members, in
cluding both majority and pr >rity
faction adherents, plan to j ror, IS
in a united attack upon Shank
administration for sins of omission
and commission pointed out during
the last two weeks by various coun-
cilmen.
Walter w. Wise, Lloyd D. Clay
combe and John e. King are the
missing members. A quorum will be
insured, however. with the hurried
return of Hayden w. Buchanan.
Indications are the meeting will
consist largely of spontaneous de-
nunciations Of the administration
from various members. Only one
resolution referring to a specific in
stance is to be presented, according
to majority leaders. This resolution,
to be introduced by President Ben
H. Thompson, will demand that
Joseph L. Hogue pay property own
ers, damaged by the Delaware st.
bridge, their claims at once because
the council has appropriated s4S, 600
for that purpose. Thompson also
charges Hogue with authorizing un-
equal part payments to property
owners.
