Let the people note there is notnlng

There is nothing in the new iran

There is nothing in the new fran

There is nothing in the new iran

If the new franchise Is granted 1t Is
entirely probable that it can be made
an asset for speculative purposes or
used as a'weapon to extort considera-
ton from the existing company; but II
is neither the duty nor is 1t proper for
publjc officials to countenance business
of this kind. Fair dealing and square

the Chinese had bronze coins as early
ms 1920 b. z. But Herodotus. 1.-The

as best thy may and all thy owe to the
public, legally speaking, Is respect Tor
the law.
Certainly this is true under our
system" But 1t is just as true OF
employers as employees. That is ex-
actly the cause of the trouble When
either party becomes dissatisfied u
says: you accept my terms or III
take my doll rags and go home Mr.
Gompers sees the folly of this very
plainly when it comes from the en-
ployer, for he says;
1t is forgotten that the workman.
too, has his business to manage, and
that. to say the least, his part in pro-
duction is as essential as that OF CAP
ital. When workmen insist on GER
tain terms they are not seeking to con-
troll the employers business, but to lay
down the conditions of their own par
ticipation in that business. Too many
assume that the employer Is to be
thanked and regarded as benefactor
for paying wages at ALL and giving
his employees work, This miserable
fallacy is back of every arrogant claim
put forward by capital. But for 1t
everybody would see that If the work
man has something to arbitrate, so
has the employer.
But everybody can see just as plainly
that II the employer has something to
arbitrate. so has the workman. The
relation of capital and labor is not
jug-handled, and no amount of con-
fiict or discussion will make it so. The
only question Is how to get some rem
edy for labor troubles that all parties
concerned will and must accept 1t
is very evident that there will never be
consent to either party's deciding the
questions that arise, without regard 10
the will of the other. But the public
is the chief sufferer in all these con-
| fiicts. and the public has the power 20
provide for compulsory arbitration,
and should do so. The mailed knights
of old protested against the adoption
of trial by. jury just as vehemently as
Mr.. Gompers does now against com
pulsory arbitration. But trial by jury
came, and it stayed. and If compulsory
arbitration is decreed by the common
sense of the country it will stay and be
effective.

to mount to the pinnacle of his ambi-
tion-the premiership.
The prime minister of Great Britain
is nominally appointed by the king. AS
a matter of fact, he IS selected by the
leaders of the majority party in the
House of Commons and his name sub
mtted TO the king. If majority of
the House of Commons disapprove Of
the appointment, and express disap-
proval in an adverse vote, the prime
minister is compelled to resign, and
with him all the members Of his cab
met.
Mr.. Balfour is regarded as popular
man with the members OF all parties
in Great Britain, and there Is not much
doubt that In spirit OF thankfulne3s
at escaping from the threatened DOM
ination of Chamberlain, the English
and Scotch Liberals and Irish Nation
alists will be disposed to be tolerant of
the new premier. In comparing Bal
four with American statesmen, he
could perhaps. be best likened to the
late William L. Wilson in mental en-
dowments and personal characteristics.
He Is of Scotch ancestry. and has al
ways been regarded as sincere ad-
mirer of American character and in
stitutions.

Mr.. SHANNON'S ATTITUDE.

There is nothing uncertain, hating
or weak about the Democracy of the
Hon. Charles NJ. Shannon, as expressed
in an interview published in another
column of this paper. Mr. Shannon
is a robust partisan who is not afraid
or ashamed to avow that the principles
and policies of the Democratic party
enunciated by the majority find ready
acceptance with him.
Mr.. Shannon is a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Delegate
to Congress. His expressed views will
he satisfactory to the Democrats OF
Arizona, and are in accord with the
country. In declaring that he will
represent all the people, regardless of
section or party, if he is sent to Con-
gress, and will endeavor to get every
thing for Arizona that it Is entitled to
from the federal legislature Mr.. Shan
non tersely defines the duty of a Ter
Titorial Delegate.
AS was to be expected from a tried
and true party man, like Charles VI
Shannon, he takes occasion to say that
if he is defeated for the nomination, the
man who will receive it will receive
his earnest and hearty support. Mr..
Shannon has never wavered in fidelity
to Democratic candidates any more
than he has to Democratic principles.
He deserves well of his party. He
seeks his party nomination with a
clean record, and if he is made the
party candidate, the Democrats OF Ari-
zona will be assured of a standard
bearer who will honestly represent the
best instincts and traditions of the
party. and the people of Arizona win
have Delegate in Congress who will
discharge every duty to his people with
honorable fidelity and Intelligent en-
ergy.

The PROPOSED LIGHTING
FRANCHISE.

In considering the propriety and wis
dom and policy and justice of granting
franchise to new lighting company
the city council of Tucson, as admins
traitor for the public, should move with
caution and deliberaflon. There is
one thing perfectly plain, and that is
this: there is not business enough for
two we'll equipped lighting plants in
this town. One company is already
in the field and doing business. Ii has
made large investments, and arranged
for the construction of thoroughly up
to-date electric and gas plants. 1t is
under contract to furnish the city with
light. It is living up to it's promises
and obligations.
What will the new company do II II
is granted. franchise? Will it sell
light cheaper than the present com
pany? Will 1t absorb the present com
pany? Will the present company abb
sorb 1t? Will the two combine to keep
up the price? What will they do. and
who will pay, the bill? Neither com
pany will have any source of revenue
except the pockets of the people. and
the people should have something Ia
say about the transaction.
We understand that the argument is
made that the applicants for a new
franchise are local people" and thnro-
fore entitled to special consideration
The present company paid $50 600 10
local people for the old plant. and has
added approximately $50 900 since in
oetterments, which ought to localj2e II
and entitle it to decent considerati,,
by the local public. But this is not
here or there. The local argument
Is demagogic and silly. The hnsinoss
OF the city council is to safeguard tho
interests OF the people. and to main
tain honestly the letter and snirit os
the obligations the city entered into
with the existing company. on tho
strength OF which the companv bas

LABOR AND ARBITRATION.

The great city of Chicago is just
now in a condition of commercial stag
nation because of strike of the
freight handlers. The city is suffer
ing financially to the extent of more
than a million dollars a day. The
people of the city are suffering for
vegetables, eggs and fruits. Children
and adults alike are suffering for
milk The produce of the farmer is
rotting in the railroad yards. and all
because of slight, very slight, diff
Guilty between employers and en-
ployes. The State of Illinois has q
board of arbitration, but it Is power
less because it can not enforce it's de-
crees. Employers and employees alike
object to compulsory arbitration, and
between the two the great public
suffers.
In this emergency comes Mr.. Samuel
Gompers president of the American
Federation of Labor, with a broadside
In opposition TO compulsory arbitra~
ton He admits, somewhat gingerly,
that the public has some rights, as an
interested third party" but denies
that it is entitled to ask for compul-
sorry arbitration. He says:
We are not going to discuss the gen.
eral question Of compulsory arbitra-
ton. as our position has been made
sufficiently clear; but it may be
pointed out in passing that those who
advocate that remedy in the interest of
the third party are really proposing
a radical. revolutionary change in the
law and policy of the country. They
have right to their opinions; but
they must not confuse issues arising
under existing laws with implications
and deductions from principles that
are peculiar to the philosophy of indus
trial relations, principles that have not
been accepted or recognized. Wnen
they talk about public rights they must
confine themselves under the present
politico-economic system, not under a
conceivable system which has not been
adopted.
What could be more delightfully."- alb
surd? The people make the laws
through their representatives. The
existing system" is made by the laws.
But the people have no right to change
the laws, because that would change
the system" Mr. Gompers further
says:
Men work or engage in business to
earn livelihood, not from motives of
aitruism. They may stop when tbev
please Just as the farmer may refuse
10 raise crops without regard to tho
needs OF the consumers. The public"

THE NEW BRITISH PREMIER.

Although the prime minister of
Great Britain is as much the ruler of
the British empire as the President IS
OF the United States. the transfer of
power from Lord Salisbury to Mr. Bal
four was effected without agitation or
excitement. The new prime minister
is nephew of his predecessor. and is
accounted young man, though he will
be 81 on the 25th Of this month. He
has been regarded as more of scholar
and student than a politician or con-
structive statesman, and there is no
doubt that his advancement in the
public service has been largely due to
family influence.
The advancement of Balfour ia chief
~ interesting outside OF Great Britain
because 1t marks the side-tracking Of
Joseph Chamberlain. There Is no
more doubt that Chamberlain was an
aspirant for the premiership to sue
coed Salisbury than there is that
Roosevelt Is a candidate to succeed
himself. A dozen years ago Chamber
lain was a radical in politics, with
strong leanings toward republicanism.
He quarreled with Mr.. Gladstone over
the question of Irish government, or
ganized what Is known as the Liberal
Union party and formed an alliance
with the Tories. As secretary of state

Dean Hoffman was noted for char

In a small southern town which was

the deans other Investments was a
beautiful little hotel, exquIsitely ap-
pointed and perfect In every detail.
After awhile the boom" fell through,
and the little hotel became a losing in

At this time the chancellor OF the
University OF the South, an Old friend
OF Dean Hoffman, was on bunting
trip with him In the mountains Of
North Carolina.

The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel, when. TO his astonlsh-

an injunction against It's removal on
the grounds that the hotel in way
was public property and that 20 re-
move it would leave the town without

CLOSED GAP
Through Which Perquisite Of
the City Might Escape.

Mayor Doyle reported to Council
Monday night that to avoid possible
litigation and maintain the city's
rights in stock in the Big Four, be-
queathed for the poor, in the will Of
Ethan Alling, two trustees should be
selected to take the places Of Judges
Carpenter and oviatt, deceased. He
said the heirs were now minded to Sc
cure possession of the stock for them
selves, upon the grounds that the city
had not looked after the stock in ac-
cordance with instructions of the WILL
by neglecting to maintain a Board Of
trustees to take charge of the stock
proceeds. Council very promptly elect
ed ex-Mayor Young and Mrs ], @.
Frank to take the places of Judges
Oviatt and Carpenter The other
trustee is Judge VIM. H. Upson. The
premium on the stock this year
amounted to S2i; last year it was $16.
