JANUARY 29, 1920 It is right that there should be a clamor whenever there is an abuse The fire bell at midnight 'disturbs your sleep, but it keeps you from be ing burned in your bed. The hue and cry alarms the country, but it preserves all the property of the province. Burke. Keep Up the Agitation We feel sure that a majority, of the people of Phoenix want a, joint administration building1 for the transaction of the business of the city and the county. We are also sure that -when the matter has been properly placed before the people of the county outside of Phoenix, there will be still another ma jority in favor of it. ' Aside from the necessity for a new courthouse and jail and a, new city hall and jail, such a joint building as we have suggested would be an object 3t pride to both the city and the county. Phoenix has attained a size that leaves it deserving of such a structure. It is now believed that the board of supervisors and the city commissioners are not averse to such a way of meeting the needs of the city and county though either or both bodies would perhaps hesitate to take the initiative unless they were quite sure that there was a strong sentiment behind the movement. The agitation in favor of it should be kept up and spread throughout the county and then, we are sure, the supervisors will act for the county as the com missioners will for the city. In all previous movements relating to this sub ject, though in tile only vote that was ever had on it, there was a decisive majority for it, there has been some manifestation of jealousy over a location of a joint administration building. We think there will be little of that now.' Phoenix has since grown too big and has so spread in every direction that no sec tion needs the pulling- power of a public building. There was a time in this as there is in every ether , town when a city hall or a court house was a de sirable neighbor of a merchant. It brought people into the vicinity of his store to his advantage and to the disadvantage of stores more remote from it. But all this has been changed. People have ceased going to stores just because they are in close proximity to the city hall or the court house, but they go to them because they are in a business sec tion, surrounded by other and similar places of busi ness, among which it may be supposed there is a keenness of competition or a rivalry In the matter of offering a superior quality of goods. ' A public building, especially a postoffice near-by is of some advantage to a confectionery store, a fruit store or even that department of a drug store deal ing1 with commodities of small value, the prices and quality of which are much , the same in all places where they are sold. The question of the disposition of the court house and city hall plazas is another that, has complicated previous movements but should not become involved in this one. Whatever maybe done with those blocks, the need of a new 'place for the transaction of the city's business and the county's business, is none the less urgent and is becoming more intoler able every day. H6w much money will be required to carry this project into effect we do not know, but we do know that any necessary sum can be raised without put ting a burden upon this prosperous community that will In any way embarrass it. We know that as an expenditure it will be an investment which in one way and another in the promotion of civic pride and in facilitating the transaction of business will yield a handsome profit. ;il The Special Session We are not yet sure what the governor will do about including in his call for a-n extraordinary session of the legislature, recommendations for remedial high way legislation. We share, we think, with the gov ernor and nearly all other Arizonians the distaste of the extraordinary sessions of the past their futility, their waste and their political plays. We agree that legislatures should be called into extraordinary ses sions only on the most urgent business, and that they should be limited to that business. The ratification or consideration of the Susan B. Anthony amendment is urgent business, but for which there would now be no call for, a special ses sion. But there is other urgent business, something that will mean much more to Arizonians than the extension of votes to women, now living in non suffrage states. That is good roads. Our road leg sla tion is in bad shape and was left there, thanks '.o the partisan political play in the last regular ses sion. We find ourselves hemmed In, handicapped, tor lack of funds and unable to make use of our natural resources, of which we have a wealth, in -oal building. Those defects in our highway legis lation will cost this county alone, several hundred thousand dollars in our permanent highway pro gram. The same additional cost will be attached to j j irograms tha-t may be undertaken in all the other, n. counties. State highway building can be carried on 3nder our present law only by resorting to expe- lients. The state good roais association composed of 'ore-most citizens of both parties, ' without any .nought of party advantage, but with an intense in "; Merest in permanent highway construction have '. ' asked the governor to Include in his call, recom Vnendations for sucll remedial legislation as may be Mi l ! I 1M If! 1 1 Hi !'! t I s I ! t f ti II I I I I I I tit Mi i ii !i! j j ii! necessary to enable the counties and the state to carry on the work with the greatest efficiency at the least cost. We believe that the governor will yet give this re quest the consideration it deserves; that he will grant it and will so frame bis recommendations as to safe guard the state against political play and against the loitering of the legislators to the great expense of the people. As "we understand it, the good roads association has not asked the governor to recommend the work ing out of a highway code, or otherwise throw open wide the gate to highway legislation, but to provide for curing the palpable defects of the laws wheih are now a brake upon highway construction ,and add so much to the expense of it; which contributes so much to the waste of the money of the taxpayers. Too Much Talking Already AVe do not believe with the "irreconcilables" that the further discussion of the peace treaty on the floor of the senate will strengthen their position be fore the country. On the other hand we hardly think that the country will approve the threat of Senator Hitchcock to throw the treaty upon the floor to be debated further. Whatever the people may think of the treaty they are heartily tired of the ralkee, talkee which has attended its deliberation, and the side responsible for further talking will al most certainly incur the greater popular resent ment. . t Nothing new can e added ' to what has already been said. And if some senator could think of some thing original and even convincing for or against the treaty, it is' very doubtful whether he could get an audience outside his colleagues and the victims in the gallery. - , . There is nothing" to be added in extenuation., if extenuation be needed, of any course that any sena tor proposes to take, and we suppose every senator knows now and the country has known for a long time, what course he proposes to take. The floor, of course, must be the next if not the last receptacle of the treaty if compromise shall fail as it now seems likely to fail. Let the matter be de cided there by votes, undelayed by words. If the treaty fail there as it may. the people will become the unwilling and, . we believe the impatient ap pellate court. If the treaty is ratified with the Lodge reservations intact and the president then pigeon holes it as he has threatened to do, again the people may be called upon to say what should have been done. It is sincerely to be regretted - that the impasse has been reached as it appears to have been reached and we have no doubt that whichever side is re sponsible for it will also have cause and occasion to regret "it. Scientific Information "Withheld Is not our city library being perverted? Or rather, has it not partially ceased functioning? We fear so from an article we have just read in this us ually reliable and accurate journal in which it is stated that various scientific works have been re moved from the shelves and are no longer a-t the dis posal of the public. This is the worse since this de privation of such scientific and technical information comes at a time when the people feel the greater need for it, just at 'a time when circumstances have quickened their interest in this particular branch of science. ' These proscribed works, we understand, deal in a way with the subject of chemistry always an in teresting study in that there develops before the student remarkable changes of form and striking re actions which among the ignorant would pass for miracles. But the student knows that they are not; that he is only witnessing a process In consonance jivith, the orderly laws of nature. It is essential though that the student should know those laws as he proceeds. Otherwise he may suffer mishaps. We have seen unequipped investiga tors with singed eyebrows, ' burned hands and faces, results of not knowing just what one element will do when it is mixed with another. And tyiat is the kind of useful information which we understand is embalmed in those books which have been so ruthlessly removed from the library shelves and which have been made as if they had never been written. We have ben told that in order to produce certain reactions, these scientific works inform us what quantities ofg yeast shall" be mingled with water and sugar in what quantities; what other elements may be needed; what' admixture of time and what degrees of heat and cold shall be em ployed at various stages of the chemical experiment to produce the best results. Without the scientific data set out in these banished works our citizens find themselves at sea. They know what elements may be used in their ex perimental and research .work but that is all they know; so that it is' likely to end only in a scientific hodge podge, or, indeed worse, something deadly. In the absence of these books of which" we are de prived we are left in a more helpless state than our own Apache Indians to whom the simple secret of making Tia-Win has come down by word of mouth through many generations We should like to see some Apache librarian try to keep the tribe from learning 'and practicing the secret. .... PAY OR PENSION Some thousands of men and women, grown old and hopeless in government service in Washington, are to be dropped from the payroll. This will make it possible to pay better wages to younger and more efficient workersi But what of the ones to be dropped? Anyone who is familiar with government offices can picture then). Aged men, and women narrow in their outlook on life because of their long seclusion routine faithful plodding away for years at given tasks and small salaries watching department heads come and go with .the fluctuations in politics unorganized unable to obtain a hearing unfitted for other work these are the men and women who must now give way to young blood. Most of them have saved little -or- nothing, because - government wages have been proverbially poor. Most of them are unable to take up new tasks, because government service too often stifles ambition and kills initiative. And it is proposed 'to 'pension them.to provide a "pasture" for them as kind-hearted people do for worn-out horses. There is not doubt they need help many of them. For our" government didn't pay them any too well. Indeed the average employe gets barely enough to live on. That is why . he usually comes to old age and want at the same moment. Therefore, the need for a pension. I The better way, . better for government and its employes, would be a rearrangement of wages so that each employe may save for that rainy day of old age. This may mean a reduction In numbers. Prob ably that is the stepping stone to living wages for the rest. Economy effected here, plus what is pro posed to "donate" as a pension fund, plus the in creased efforts of a better paid force, would equal the cost of living plus the savings for old age. . Put the money into the pay envelope rather than in pensions. ' . ,, .;..'.' Rockefeller doesn't deserve all the credit for, that big Christmas gift.

Ariz., Jan. 29, '20 FIFTY-SECOND TRIP EDITORIAL C. G. H., Editor Coming Next Week On Thursday next, as the pulpite?rs are fond of leading off, the Camel's Lack will celebrate its first birthday. You may gather that remark that precisely one year ago . our faithful camel packed his first cargo of journal istic cannibalism across the desert. Now a birthday calls for a fitting function of some sort, ahd the management of this fearful weekly has been casting about for some ideas. ' Two Good Reasons Various suggestions have come to us. We have considered-staging "a species of "open house" somewhere in' town where we : could receive our friends and enemies. " But an '"open house" if such functionsas have been staged by some of our -leading " merchants are any criterion calls for our donning a dress suit,: wreathing our ' countenance in a smile and, in short, playing - the part -of patron saint. This, we refuse to do, for two good reasons. Primus: the last we saw of our dress suit was in a hock shop in a mid-west college town. Secondus: before we could smile again, some radical changes would have to be ef fected. At Last! Dance? Card party? Picnic? Beach party? Nope, none of these. What then? Well, what's the matter with a sleighing party? Fine! Fine! On Thursday next, then, the man agement to the Camel's Back, in fit ting commemoration of its first birth day, extends to his friends and. enemies creditors and debtors, and his reader, a cordial invitation to join with him in a sleighing party around the valley. We are advised that Dan Kleinman, down Mesa way, has generously of fered us the free use of his roomy bob sled pulled by six horses. Bobby Gil bert .who homesteaded the Gilbert townsite, will handle the ribbons. Bro. Hammels, of Buckeye, has promised to furnish hay enough to cover the floor o the sled a foot deep. Skating, Too The party will leave Phoenix promptly at o'clock Thursday after noon. The w. k. Donofrio will be on hand to serve hot chocolate at the halfway station. Come early and bring your skates; if ice is any good we'll pull off a hockey game at Granite Reef.

THE GENERAL Our picture of General Pershing is that of the man who commanded the greatest army that the United States has put into the field. Uncle Sam gave him the job to do and hedid it in a manner becoming a soldier. No greater tribute can be paid a soldier. It is a tribute that cov ers columns of praise, scores of medals and ribbons, and tons of bronze tablets. I Come to think of it, the general ought to . have just a degree morethan mild interest in the Capital of the Baby State. - Any other town of 30,000 pop. that can produce Frank Luke and John 11. Priutt is widely known. However, the general won't have to spend much time inspecting -the me morial the . community has erected to its heroes, dead and living. But don't be too hard on us, general, we've got plans for a memorial we've got plans. And while, as yet, our arv? morial has progressed only as .far as the "memo" and- our note is what the bankers might" term as a "long time" note we got plans we got plans. No body seems to have a very definite idea of what the plans are but we got 'em. and that, general, is what won the war plans, not action. If the, speakers chosen to assail the general at the various functions tomor row are on a par with most of the '"patriotic" orators we have listened to in the past three . years, we trust the general and his staff bring their gas masks with them. Tip to the program committees: We come to hear the general: we can hear the local celebrities any old time. ,- And now that Admiral Sims has ad vised us how his last orders on sail ing were not to let the British pull the wool over his eyes, won't the general favor us with the farewell instructions given him relative to the French? Judging from the French propagan ders, the injunction to General Per shing should have been, "And remem ber, John, we owe some sort of an ob ligation to Lafayette try to clean it off the bopks, will ya, John? o Announcement This is to be taken as positive notice that the Camel's Back will run its Spring Poetry edition within the next few weeks.

An . amorous Italian has Just remarKed that his brain is on fire, and Mr. Lean enters hurriedly and says that he thought he smelled wood burning. A few minutes later Miss Mayfield, his handsome helpmeet, "crosses her bare knees, in the way Parisienne and "Look Who's Here" begins to assume its Continental aspect. . Miss Mayfield, a generous lady of comely endowments, has a new style of comedy.
