Africa.
Particular attention has been
centered on our speed and effici-
ency of production following the
Presidents request for an additi-
tional $5,000,OO0,000 of lease-lend
funds.
On the gasoline shortage situa-
ton, Ralph X. Davies, acting pc
troleum co-ordinator, issued
statement two weeks ago saying
that there was only a Today sup
ply of gasoline left in the East and
intimated that rationing would
have to be drastic and immediate.
On the following day, oil company
executives gave out figures to
show that the supply in the East
was plentiful and intimated that
there may be no need for rationing
at all. Since then there have been
countless arguments on the sub
ject and the public in the Eastern
states has just gone ahead buying
the gasoline 1t needs and can buy
until the question is ironed out.
Criticism of the President and
congress for not taking a firmer
hand in dealing with strikes has
increased recently, particularly by
members of the house of repre-
sentatives who continue to receive
many letters from the folks back
home pointing out the unfairness
of boys being ordered to serve in
the army at S21 a month while
those who are assigned the job
of making equipment for them, at
comparatively high wages, are per-
mitted to delay production for
weeks in efforts to get still higher
wages or to strengthen their labor
organizations.
On September /, the new order
regarding installment selling went
into effect limiting installment
payments on all goods to 1S
months and requiring substantial
down payments on everything but
improvement of houses.
A schedule OF the extent OF
credit was issued providing for
the following minimum down pay
ments: automobiles, 33 1-3 per
cent; refrigerators, 90 per cent;
washing machines, 20 per cent;
sewing machines, 90 per cent;
cooking stoves. 90 per cent;
radios, 20 per cent; furnaces, Is
per cent; water heaters, Is per
cent; household furnishings, 10 per
cent. No down payments of less
than 10 per cent will be permitted
and on most items the payments
must be Is to 20 per cent.
The purpose of this plan Is to
curb purchases of items which re-
quire materials also needed for
defense production and to dis
courage increased purchasing
which would result in price infla-
tion.
With this same purpose in mind
flat 10. per cent tax on all In
come has been suggested to the
senate finance committee, which
now is considering what our taxes
will be in 1912. 1t Is estimated
that such a tax would yield total
of 81 900 900 ,000-twice the amount
originally called for in taxes. 1t Is
not expected that this plan will go
through, but it is understood that
several members of the commit
tee are leaning toward a flat tax,
deducted at source, as in social
security, as simple method OF
taxing everyone proportionately
and without complicated exemp-
tions. 1t has been pointed out that
even per cent tax on all In
come would supply the fund orr
ginally requested. Such tax plan,
however, would require complete
rewriting of the tax bill and 1t
seems more likely that this trend
will only result, for the present.
in broadening the tax base to In
clude small incomes.

notated. 1889, provides: -" All
books before being reissued shall
be fumigated. Failure on the part
of trustees or teachers to have
such books fumigated shall be a
misdemeanor."
Although this law has been on
the statute books for many years,
legislators charge it has been "al-
most totally ignored" by trustees
and teachers "even though ii was
enacted to safeguard the health
of thousands of school children" p"
The inside story behinn Gov.
Osborn's belated approval for two
state highway commissioners and
the state engineer to journey to
Washington in an effort to obtain
federal funds for road from
Kingman to Bullshead damsite on
the Colorado river has come to
light.
The governors animosity toward
four members of the highway
commission was responsible for
their request to make the trip re-
posing on his desk day after day.
Finally, even after pressure from
Mohave county failed to stir the
chief executive to action, word
was taken to him that the COM
missioners planned to raise the
expenses of the rip by popular
subscription.
This column is advised that ap-
proximately $500 was offered by
interested persons in Mohave
county. 1t was anticipated the re-
mainder of the necessary amount
could easily be raised.
Fearful of bringing down the
wrath of practically everyone In
Mohave county on his head, the
governor reluctantly gave his con-
sent. A member of his official
family is quoted as saying: "Sid
(the governor) realized it would
have been political suicide to have
refused the request and then. with
the delegation going to the ma
tional capital on private funds, II
they were successful, he couldn't
claim a share Of the credit"
Some of the governors suppor-
ers, either with or without his
knowledge have undertaken what
they frankly assert is to be a
purge" of the state legislature.
Under direction of Jack Gavin,
who spent 90 years in Washington
as senatorial secretary, 1t is
planned to invade every legislative
district in the state ito defeat those
fellows who wouldn't listen to the
governor" in the regular session
OF the 18th legislature.
Credit for the ambitious program
is given to Gavin. Some others
among the governors friends are
fearful the move may provoke
dangerous political repercussions.
Most observers are of the opinion
the attempt will only serve to stir
more active opposition to Mr.. Os-
born's next candidacy.

reminded OF an experience in the
1898 primary In which Bob Jones
emerged victor by 2.676 votes over
James H. Kerby and 4.236 over

 And with weather, park and fans waiting for the first pitched ball, Moose manager Stan Grummett to- day casually shifted his chew Ot gum from one check to the other before predicting that this years championship is in the bag for the first-flight Moosemen. Without a snicker, Grummett, speaking as smoothly as a Japanese diplomat, said the Moosemen undoubtedly will win" and oh-so- modestly cackled that the "pennant series will be sewed up by next Sunday"
 Meanwhile a vicious cycle of ru- mors cycled around ball circles about the Islanders, with Douglas spokesmen as silent as Nazi com munique. Hints that Big Bill Ram sey will step up to the mound under George Willey's signals was offset only by the official report that catcher Stan Grummett has gone into retirement for the final series and will be replaced in the padding by John Skok, former Elk oack-stop
