Interpretations Are ;.
 Taking inventories

The local incorporated companies are taking inventories of their belongings real estate and their property. This is being done under the new corporation law which imposes a tax of I per cent on al; profits above S5ooo year.
 There are many objections 10 this law and many corporations are very bitter against its enforcement, not so much because of the tax imposed ss because of the fact that business affairs are made public that mary incorporated companies would rather not have known, particu- larly to their competitors.
 There are no federal inspectors fer this particular branch of work and there is a great opportunity and temptation to e certain class of companies of the coun- try to make false reports with little danger of being discovered.

An Arizona Story
 That Points a Moral

The serenity and placidity with which Tom mbstone continues the "even tenor of her way" while her warning sisters are pulling hair and calling each other liars, in polite terms. of course, reminds us of the story of a certain case, wherein two prominent lawyers of Graham county were setting up mutual contentious against each other.
 In the course of an argument each of these professional gentlemen, in sminently rhetorical. but nnmistsk- able terms, called the other a liar. The judge on the bench, quietly csning the bar to order. pleasantly rubbed his silyery sideburns and remarked: Come. come. gentlemen; ; let us get down to DISPUTED allegs- tions."
 Being brought to his senses by the humorous yet profound suggestion of the court, one of the lawyers remarked to the other, "Well, Mac, I think the court hss one on us; we had better shut up and proceed to the trial of this case." And they did.
 This proposition applies to the case of our 'steemed contemporaries ID Cochise county when they call each other iiars. Their contentious are freely conceded. Let them get down to DISPUTED allegations and begin to work for Cochise county.

which wrecked its plant and without
awaiting any investigation as to the cause
Of the catastrophe it should charge the

He added that his advices indicated the

Original Suspicious Confirmed.
The original suspicion. of the police that
the disaster was due to a heavy charge of
high explosive was practically confirmed
by the finding OF the other bombs and the
statements of those persons in the building
or nearby at the time of the explosion. 1t
is also pTaCtlCally certain tnat tne seat OF
the explosion was in the narrow alleyway
that separated the two buildings occupied
by tibet Times.
Foreman Graybill of the composing room,
in which the full force of the explosion
was felt and where the greatest direct
damage was done, is firmly Of the opinion
that it was due to dynamite and that its
seat was in the alleyway. His statement
is the clearest yet obtainable. He said:
II was standing near the center OF the
composing room when all at once terrific
force from below seemed to raise a section
of the floor clear TO the roof. The upheaval
came between two linotype machines.
Flames and broken timbers flew in all
directions. The force of the thing was
indescribable Grant Moore, a machinist,
was directly over the spot where the inn
pact came through the floor. His body was
hurled against the ceiling. E. A Jordan,
a head setter, and e. w. WATSON, a galley
man, were nearest to him, and they too
were hurled against the ceiling of the COM
posing room.
Every one of the typesetting machines
were thrown down and they were hurled in
all directions"

Specific Evils Mentioned.

Now what are the specific evils that
have reused our people? 1 believe that
they have been growing on this country
for years and years and they can be
briefly stated thus
''First-The corrupt control of legislative
and governmental agencies for the estab-
lishment, maintenance and enjoyment of
unjust privileges by individuals or corporate
wealth; to make this control effective,
there have been organized and maintained
corrupt machines within both parties which
break the current communication and re-
sponsive action between the people and
those who are elected to serve and repre-
sent them.
Observation-Disclosures Of capital in in
gether for the ostensble and commendable
purpose of reducing the costs of production
and distribution, have too often had the
real purpose of suppressing competition,
controlling prices and maintaining monop-
oily. Everyone who is frank must admit
that great progress has been made in
fighting these. Fifteen years ago the
rights of the people to our natural re-
sources were freely disregarded. The nat
ural resources of the nation are now in
the way of being conserved for the people
who are the ultimate owners OF such re-
sources and ought to remain so.

day, but investigation disclosed them to
be unfounded.
Assistant General Manager Chandler of
the Times, is authority for the statement
that similar attempt was made to blow up
the Times auxiliary plant at College and
san Fernando streets a few minutes be-
fore the explosion occurred which de-
stroyed the main building.
People Are in Panic.
The succession of tragic events and the
rumors OF attempted outrages set the
populace Of Los Angeles in q state OF mind
bordering on panic. Hundreds OF policemen
and detectives were busy in every direc-
ton running down clues and endeavoring
to locate the alleged perpetrators of the
crimes But two arrests have been made
and these we're only on suspicion.
This afternoon the Times made public
the following telegram from General Otis,
who is en- route home from Mexico City.
Your wire. with its terrible news,
reached me this morning. I am amazed at
the desperation Of the criminal eonspirators
in destroying the Times building and STAY
ing its loyal defenders, whose loss deeply
deplore, but the Times itself will live on
brayely defending the vital and essential
principle of industrial freedom under law
which must yet triumph in the entire ma
