In expressing his preference for a
lawyer TO fill the office of probate Judge
Of ella county, the party who writes
up the republican dope takes occasion
to say that the miner who has filed
that Office in Graham county, elected
by the democrats. has not proven sat
isfactory on account Of his lack of leg
al education, and conveys the idea in
strong terms that none but a lawyer
should fill that position. This is GER
tainly compliment Of the left-handed
kind to the people who earn their living
by digging deep under the ground and
bringing out the ores that have made
Arizona one of the greatest wealth pro-
ducing regions of the world. He might
have gone further and said that his
party does not regard miners in general
as capable of holding official positions,
and prove his assertion by pointing with
pride-the usual way in which republi-
cans emphasize the doings of their
party,-to the ticket nominated at their
county convention.

FOR LOWER r. r. RATES

The democratic party of this county
urges tha necessity of law regulating
railroad freights and fares. This is
certainly q much needed reform The
people of Arizona have suffered more
from the extortionate rates the rail
roads have charged for transportation
of freights than from almost anything
else. It is well known fact that only
three or four years ago, when the farm
ers Of the ella valley were only getting
siv dollars per ton for their alfalfa,
and were seeking markets in Douglas
and Bisbee, the railroads. charged them
1928 per ton freight to those points.
This outrageous treatment has caused
the people to do some thinking, and that
thinking is in the line Of seeking relief
from such evils. By little thought and
little figuring any one can see the
enormity of the burden they were bear.
ing: Suppose a train Of twenty five
cars of alfalfa be shipped from the
valley to Bisbee and Douglas, distance
Of about one hundred and fifty miles,
each car carrying twelve tons; what
will be the cost to the people and what
the revenue the railroads received.
Twelve tons at s62s per ton would be
s76.36 per car. twenty-five cars would
amount to s1,ss4.0o. To take this train
through would require not more than
one day, and not more than five men.
From this it is not difficult to see that
the railroads derive great profit from
this kind of freight. Such charges, any
one can see, are not only unjust, but
outrageous. This is only one instance.
The rates upon other lines of freight
are much higher and even more unjust.
The democrats of ella county demand
a reform of such evils. All voters, re-
gardless of party ties, should stand with
them.

Any man who stands at the head Of
the schools of county, especially one
growing in wealth and population as
this county is, should be one capable Of
improving the schools and bringing
them up to the highest standard Of
work. He should be man of educa-
ton, man Of experience as teacher
and competent to direct the grading and
conduct Of the schools. Such man is
Fred Nymyer. He is a thoroughly
trained teacher. He has had many
years of experience in the schoolroom.
He is one of the most competent men
for the position of superintendent of
the schools of this county, that can
be found within its borders. The peo-

Two Of the leading bankers of Globe
have lately expressed themselves as
favorable to the democratic idea of
system of guarantees for bank depos-
its. This shows them to be men of
good sense. They know that, if the
people of Globe who had their money
most of " hard earned money, in the
banks last fall when banking institu-
items created by the republican party
brought financial panic upon the coun-
try in time when it was never more
prosperous, had known that their money
was secure, there would have been no
panic, and they would not have made a
run upon the banks, run that was not
only disastrous to the banks, but to
themselves and the community also.

ocratic platform was an act of great
wisdom upon the part of Mr.. Bryan and

THE sLAUGHTERHoUsE.

Among the gambling and sporting
men who can see no good in Governor
Hughes because he insisted on the law
against betting being enforced, there
has been a good deal of interest taken
recently in contest in London between
Sir Hiram Maxim, the mathematician,
and the Earl Of Rosslyr, degenerate
peer, who laid his coronet at the feet
Of an actress, and who, after trying to
act himself and failing, has lost for
tune or two for himself and others at
Monte Carlo. Once more Lord Rosslyr
had system by which he was to
"break the bank" and to test it he
played against Maxim, who ran the
roulette wheel. After several days
play Of varying fortune the peer got
broke and his system want to smash.

way, else many a giddy, empty headed
fool might have been tempted to take

Consummated for Change
In Ownership.
FREEMAN, A DIRECTOR.
ISSUES A DENIAL.
Says the Rumor Is False and
Home Company Would Not
Entertain Idea of Sale If
Proposition Was Submitted

1t was reported today on reliable in
formation that deal had just been
closed whereby the Central Union Tel
ephOne company had absorbed the
Home Telephone company of this city
by purchase. This deal. it is stated.
was put through within the past week.
The officials of the two companies
have excellent reasons for keeping the
deal secret and it is probable that no
announcement of the transaction will
be made public.
Manager Noah Hutton of the local
branch of the Central Union company.
and President A. c. Lindemuth of the
Home Telephone company were ont Of
the city today. so it was impossible to
have them confirm or deny the report
Perry J. Freeman a member of the
board of directors of the Home Tele-
phone company, stated today that
there was absolutely no truth in the
report that the Home company had
sold out to the Central union.
Il most emphatically deny that such
a deal has taken place. The Home
Telephone company has not received a
proposal from the Central Union peo-
pie. and would not consider it if they
did make one" stated Mr.. Freeman
when he was asked to deny or CON
firm the report.
A city official states that if such a
deal has taken place the Central Union
will have to continue to operate the
Home Telephone company as an inde-
pendent line for the reason that this
company has installed the automatic
system, which can be controlled only
by Independent companies. If the
Home company would continue to be
operated as an Independent line. it
would be necessary to have it operated
under the franchise given to the COM
pany when it placed its wires under
ground. This franchise contains a
maximum rate clause--fortunately for
the citizens of Richmond. An effort
to increase the rate stipulated in the
franchise would be sufficient cause for
the city to declare the franchise null
and void and to begin legal proceed
inSs against the combine.

until noon today
1T is the intention to establish a
municipal lighting and power plant in
Lafayette in conjunction with the wat
cr works system, which has been un-
der municipal control for several
years" stated one of the Lafayette
city officers. We have inspected
various plants in this state, but to our
minds the beet equipped and man
aged municipal plant in the state is
located here in Richmond and the y O.
pie of this city should be proud of IT,
1t is quite probable that the Lafay-
cite plant will be modelled after the
local plant, as the Lafayette officials
were careful in taking notes as to the
equipment, the number of men en-
ployed, the bookkeeping system and
the method of making reports.
