first magnitude They all prominent military
leaders in China and all have important bearing
the situation
Yet things are beginning to align themselves
more simply, that is, more simply than China Is
accustomed to. One way in which this Is beng
accomplished is in the fact that today there are
but two main factions. Six months ago, even. there
were many factions. than half a dozen sep
arate Kingdoms each ruled by almost independ-
ent sodier-king. Now there is but the Cantonese
army Of young China the south, led by Chan's
Kai Shek, opposing the army of the north. led by
Chang Tso Lin.
In this movement toward two main factions all
the varied aims Of different factions in China have
been consolidated. The forces Of the north ar
rallied behind the order Of conservatism. predatory
militarsm and loyalty sold out to the highest for
cign bidder.
But it is behind the Cantonese armies Of the
south that young China is rallyng. 1t is the pro

understood Aims and purposes stand out clearly
for the first time and American newspaper reader
are for the first time able to take intelligent
interest in the civil that is agitating the celes

One such is in building which
has drawn tourists from many lands.
Here it was that John Maseficld. one
of the greatest living poets, got his
start as a bar-boy. Once a popular
bar OF the old village, it furnished
job for the scrawny English lad

dents of the ladies' club of Ashcan
Ariz.. and titled gentry from London
have made their pilgrimage to this
place, which long since has degen-
Grated from a first-class saloon to
a typical village book store. In the
window has long hung a colorful
photograph showing the boys lined at
the rail in the days when Masefield
was allowed to scrub out cuspidors.
Some years afterward Frank Shay,
who edits anthologies Of the best
plays and such, opened book shop
on the site. Shay's proudest heritage
was the old swinging door. Thereon
had been written the names and
carved the initials Of some of the
worlds most famous folk. To this
list were added many more during
ShAy's tenancy. When he closed up
shop he unscrewed the door and took

tirely 1t told about policeman in an eastern city
who reused the inmates Of h burning tenement,
called the fire department and then sacrificed his
own life trying to rescue a cripple who could no.
save himself.
Little items like that aren't unusual Such things
happen in every city.
We all have our grievances at policemen, now
and then But it doesn't hurt to remember that
the policeman must always be ready to risk his
life in service. Every now and then he takes
risk too maryland loses.

A Dramatic Career

w. T.. Woodward one of thea biographcrs who
wrote new life Of Washington during the past
year. is going to tackle U. S. Grant next.
Grant" says Woodward, twas one of the mos.
dramatic of heroes At the age of 80 he was
an obscure and beaten man, sitting silently in a
country store His opportunities were all appar
emily behind him.
"Who would have dreamed at the beginning of
the civil war; that this seedy. discouraged failure
to become leader of the union armies and presi-
dent for two terms?'
We don't know whether Woodward is going to
make Grants biography human in the way he
tried to make that Of Washington. But we agree
with him that he has unusually interesting sub.
ject.

GAS TAX SUIT
IS STARTED IN
SUPREME COURT
First Steps Taken to I'm
tangle Present Middle
By Atty General

PHOENIX, June /. P)-FirSt steps
to untangle the present muddle into
which the gasoline tax situation has
wound itself were taken today when
Attorney General John w. Murphy
filed a petition in the supreme court
for writ of mandamus to compel
j. G. Callaghan, as state treasurer,
to credit approximately $4,000 of the
April gasoline tax to the 25 per cent
fund of the. state and the rs per
cent fund of the counties.
Leave to file the petition for writ
of mandamus against the state treas
urer in the supreme court as an or
iginal proceeding in that court was
granted today by the court.
An alternative write of mandamus
will be issued tomorrow by the SUI
preme court, it was announced, di-
recting Callaghan, as state treasurer,
to appear before that court at a date
yet to be fixed and show cause why
the writ of mandamus should not be
made permanent The date on which
the writ will be returnable will be set
tomorrow by the court before it issues
the document. 1t is believed that the
date will be some time before the
middle of the month.
Soon after the court accepted ju-
risdiction in the matter, Callaghan
announced that his office would be
represented by the law firm of
Mathews and Bilby of Tucson. Prep
aration will be made at once, CAL
laghan said, to prepare an answer to
the petition of the attorney general
showing cause why the writ of man
damus should not be made perma-
nent
The suit filed today by the attor-
ney general in the supreme court
asks that a writ of mandamuS be
issue ddirecting Callaghan as state
treasurer to credit the Is per cent
fund of the state and the rs per cent
fund of the conties with $4,000 of
the April gasoline tax, and to con-
tinue to make credits of one quarter
of the monthly gasoline tax to each
of the two funds in the future.
