City Official Paper VOL. 19. WILSON AND THE TARRIFF President-elect Wilson is retie- j ent in regard to what action on the tariff is to be had when he enters the White House on March 4th. Those that are close to him however are pretty well eonvinc ed that congress will be called in extra session soon after inaugu ration in March and that the tar iff will be speedily revised down ward. The Democrats have a majority in the House, and of the 93 members in the Senate, the Democrats are sure of 50 and possibly 51 which will give them absolute control in that body thus enabling them to shape legisla ture at their will. The country seems to have un limited confidence in the states manship patriotism and ability of Woodrow Wilson and the assur ance that he has given the coun try that no honest and straight forward business enterprise need fear anything from him has had a very healthy effect on the busi ness activity throughout the coun try. Woodrow Wilson is a native of Virginia, and he is the eighth son of old Va., that has occupied the White House. The seven others being Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William H. Harrison, Tyler and Zachry Tay lor; this is a record that no state in the union can boast of. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was born in South Carolina and she will be the first Southern Lady to occupy the position of “First Lady of the Land” since Mrs. A. Johnson in -1865 to 1869. The most famous Lady who ever presided over the White House was a southerner, Mrs. Dolly Madison whose tact and grace has won for her a name that has secured a permanent place in history. The amendment to the constitu tion providing for an Income Tax has been ratified by 34 states, and two others will ratify it in the next thirty days which will make the required 36 ratifications out of our 48 states thus congress will have the right to tax incomes as- it sees fit.

The Agriculture demonstration train from the Uuiversity of Ari zona, spent Wednesday morning in the city.

The products of Arizona are well worthy the comparison with the best in the country. A short lecture was delivered in the H. S. Assembly room by the Di rector of the Agriculture Train at 11 o’clock. The train left at 1 for Tucson. We are glad to announce that Prof. Chandler of the Extention Division and Prof. Grimes of the Department of Mathematics will be in this city under the auspices of the High School to deliver a series of the lectures, early in February. Both of these men have national reputation as speak ers along their respective lines. Subjects and the exact date will be announced later. U. S. Weather Observatory has recently been established on the roof of the High School Building. These instruments give the H. S. roof a peculiar appearance, but then it’s all in the interest of science. We are glad to welcome many of those who have been on the sick list, back to our midst. At tendance has improved greatly. The Thanksgiving donation which was held in all rooms last Wednesday was a splendid tribute to the true Thanksgiving spirit of giving.

The High School furnace smok ed Tuesday morning and we were unable to stay in the building. Os course we were reluctant to take the morning off and spend it in the sunshine which had been to us a temptation.

(Who had lost his book.) “Oh, she fell in.” Don’t forget the basket ball games, and be prepared to root for the High School. Why do they insist on having a holiday Friday after Thanksgiv ing?

The chief interest I centers of course in tarriff legis lation. While it is understood that some reduction of duties is ine-; vitable, the question as to just how far the pi'oteetion that has ! long been accorded to American farmers, wage-earners and manu facturers is to be sacrificed as- j fords plenty ofi-room discus-1 sion and controversy.. Those who : are in a position tcymofit by the reduction or removal of duties are planning to force this move-' ment as far as possible, regard less of the effect 'upon; the busi ness of the country; In the van of’ these interests- - are the : sugar re finers who. think that the oppor tunity ,is at least presented To them of carrying through their plan for the enactment of a free sugar bill which will put an end to the rapidly expanding business of growing sugar beets and manu facturing beet sugar. The refin ers, the most influential being the so-called Sugar Trust, have been growing more and more uneasy over the rapid increase in the output of beet sugar under the protective tarriff that has been in force. Within the past few years inis competition has cut into their market to an alarming extent, - has tended to keep down retail prices and threatened to put the refiners out of business' entirely, in the course of time, as the De partment of Agriculture has shown that the United States has ample land adapted to beet grow ing to produce all the sugar re quired by the American people. As the Trust and its. fellow 1 re finers have practically unlimited: resources at their .command- a big fight will be made to secure abso lute free trade in tjbtis commodity, but it is doubtful if .it can succeed because it can be'c^ded 'through' only by the votesfipf representing states rfpwhic'h) vt&e beet sugar industry already hast, attained great importance andjt is doubtful if these men will, v.ote to destroy home industries .oh which the welfare of thousands of their own constituents depend, The wool and lumber schedules are others over which it is expect ed the strenuous fights will be ! waged. Jeweler Geo. F. Schaal has this week moved his entire stock :and fixtures into his new Store in. the-; Elks building from his old in the Opera House building. Mr. Schaal has ordered a jarge supply of new goods for^hik-Christmas trade and will hereafter carry j full and complete line..of'.jewelryv , A fine line of new fixtures have been added to replace some of the old fixtures and his store is now complete in every detail. The man and woman who try to make their home the most in teresting spot on earth for each other, and for their friends and those who are near and dear to i them, have but occasional .use for the club. It is to them, like the theatre, a pleasant place to enter now and then but not a spot to dwell in. Harlow Yaeger of Flagstaff was a business visitor in town I la?, t Friday.

Woodmen Masquerade The Masquerade Ball given on Thanksgiving night by .the local odge of Modern Woodmen of \merica was well attended and was a success socially and finan cially. There were numerous eeautiful and comic costumes dis [3layed, many of the boys being Iressed in feminine attire while a, number of ladies donned the ap parel of the sterner sex. The masqueraders removed their mask about ten o’clock and from that time on till one o’clock, the time the dance closed, the dancers en joyed themselves to their heart’s content. Most men who own a watch think they know all about it. They have the number fixed in their memory in case it is stolen. They could probably pick it out from fifty other watches with their eyes shut. But how many men know tha their watch is a compass and will tell north from south just as accurately as it will tell the time of day? Stanley, the explorer, did not know it un til he had groped his way through a dark continent and met a Bel gian sailor on the coast. Every watch is a compass. If you point the hour hand to the sun the south is exactly half way between the hour and the figure XII on the dial. Suppose, for instance, it is 4 o’clock. Point the hand in dicating 4 to the sun and the IX on the watch is exactly south. If it is 8 o'clock point the hand in dicating 8 to the sun and the fig ure X on the dial is due south. No man need get lost if he car ries a watch. Missouri is a funny place. Last week a-lad from the backwoods came further north and seeing a young lady playing a piano, ran to his brother saying, “Oh, Bill, come and see this girl. She is knocking regular thunder out of a bureau. ’ ’ Two state senators were boasting of their qualifica tions one day at Jefferson City. | One said, “I am a minister;” the other said, “I am a lawyer, and I’ll bet $lO you don’t know the Lord’s prayer.” The money went up, and the Missouri clergyman began, “ ;Now I lay me down to sleep, etc.” “It is your money,” said the lawyer. “1 did not believe !you knew it. Ihave not heard it ; all before in twenty years. ” | Mrs. Cline R. Asbury who has | been quite sick for a number of I weeks is reported as feeling j somewhat better at the present writing. J. A.
