That argument sounds well and
might go in the north or east or even
the middle west, far away from the

be protected by freight rates if the
tariff were taken off. but we who
live on the border of Mexico. with

Dor and short haul know that free

and citrus fruits would force us out of

prices. wages and standard of living.
Arizona doesn't want it, Free trade
with Mexico would mean five-cent
wool one dollar sheep. and five-dollar
steers. and would ruin our farming
and fruit growing industries beyond
recall.
When your cattle will not pay to
feed-when your sheep will not pay
for shearing-when oranges rot for
want of a market-and your hay is
not worth cutting-will Hunt, Ashurst.

w. S. Dorman-House of Representa-

one of the candidates on the repub-
lican ticket for state representative is
Mr. W. s. Dorman of Mesa. where
he has been engaged in farming and
business for a good many years.
Mr. Dorman is the originator of the
popular idea. so close to the hearts Of
the farmers especially. of state agri-
cultural college in Maricopa county.
where the industry is most extensively
carried on. \ long step in the right
direction has been taken by the Agri-
cultural department of the University
of Arizona. but there should be a
college for educating the young farm
ers located in the Salt River Valley
and devoted entirely to this important
study. There is no question as 10 the
superiority of Arizona land over that
of any other state. and with the prop
er education the young farmers Of the
present generation will be enabled To
scientifically raise crops on 40 acres
of land that their fathers couldn't
raise. without this particular educa-
ton. on 100 acres.
The expense of building and main
tanning such an institution would not
be great, while its benefit to all Of
Arizona would be undeniable.
Mr. Dorman has taken the matter
up with Mr. Ralph II. Cameron. and
he is so much in favor of the idea
that he has positively promised that
he will do everything he possibly can
to obtain a national appropriation. if
the republican senators are sent to
Washington.
Under the enabling act of 1910.
$50. 900 acres of land has been set
aside for the maintenance of agricul-
tural and mechanical colleges. There
fore. the tax rate will not he mater
tally increased.
Mr.. Dorman believes in the square
deal for the lessons of school lands
and protection against spectators;
give special privileges to none: in
eliminating all partisan fights in the
in the enacting Of simple. clean code
of plain. sensible laws that will pro-
tect all legitimate enterprises and
state Legislature. and all members
working together with but one thought
in mind-that of safely launching the
ship of state and making Arizona the
brightest star i'm the flag.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a meeting o.
labor leaders was held here today to
endeavor to settle the dispute between
metal workers and carpenters and
jOiners There was much informal
discussion Of the Mcnamara confess
sions and their effect on unionism.
IL IS not ascertained whether the
matter was brought up at the meet
ing but there was much talk on the
outside concerning a cOuntry-Wi eff
fort to settle all existing strikes inn
mediately with the view of offsetting
any present cry against unionism. Not
only do the leaders seem to want
to settle all existing labor troubles
hut il was suggested in informal talks
if all warning labor unions could hold
peace conference and perhaps settle
their difficulties in an amicable way
good might result. one of those who
took part in the session expressed his
belief that the matter was finally set
tied when Gompers. president of the
American Federation of Labor. re-
turned tomorrow or next day to take
part in the conference.

Finances and Markets

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-News from
Washington affected stocks adversely
today. Throughout the session the
market was slow until the late after
noon, when the depression was rapid
through the selling movement. The
attack was aimed chiefly at the rail-
roads. Many of them were forced
back l to = points. Two bills before
congress seemed To give traders con-
Germ. They are those providing for
the abolition Of the commerce court
and for the physical valuation of
railroads. The former measure was
cited as a reason for the severe pres
sure against the northwestern rail-
roads today. the explanation offered
being that these lines that benefited
by the commerce courts action in
preventing for time at least re-
duction in freight rates ordered by
the interstate commerce commission.
Uncertainty as to what has been the
Wabash reorganization plan. and
whether il involve an assessment on

irregular turn Allis- Chalmers fell 10

this stock weakened American Smelt-

trolled. Figures for November iron
production showed a decrease of Co.

question is not debatable For the
triumph OF socialism means. not a
change in the. administration OF our
government, but a change i'm the form
of our government itself. And there
is no evidence that Americans are
ready to give up republican form
Of government.
As to the state of affairs in Los
Angeles, the people of that city are
to be congratulated. They have es-
capped a great danger. Not that there
would have been any subversion of
government by Job Hartman and his
retainers, but that the advertisement
of Los Angeles as socialist commu-
nifty would have done the city incalcu-
liable harm.
There is a vast difference between
a socialistic government and the
American form of government admin
istered by a socialist. We have social

shall ever have socialistic govern

But the recent experiences of Los
Angeles should serve as warning to
part of the press and the politicians
of that city and of the state of Cali
fornia They have been potent fac
tors in the making of socialists. They
have been preaching envy and malice
and hatred. and then. when they saw

which they have passed.
And incidentally there are few
newspapers newspapers

Arizona the same sort of buncombe
that almost put Los Angeles in the
grip of socialism. And. strange as il
may seem. these very same papers
are rejoicing over the defeat of Har-

The Business Man.

Men with money To invest in mines
or farming or timber lands are watch
ing the outcome Of the present cam
paign i'm Arizona with feverish anxiety
and the triumph Of the Hunt-Ashurst
ticket next Tuesday Will he signal
to them to steer clear of the state
until the people have returned to
normal state of mind and have re-
tired the rule or ruin party headed
by those men to private life.
To say that all Of the men seeking
office this year as democrats are unfit
or incompetent would not be true
because among the candidates upon
the sO-called democratic ticket are
many estimable gentlemen. patriotic
and high minded. well equipped mem
tally and morally to fill the offices
they seek. but the election of George
w. p Hunt as governor or Henry r.
Ashurst as United States senator will

of the state-Hunt because of his lack
OF mental equipment and Ashurst be
cause of his total disregard for any
thing or any person which or who
might stand i'm the way of gratifying
his personal ambition. That has been
amply demonstrated in the campaign
just drawing to a close. if it had not
been demonstrated to the people by his
course when he was member OF the
Legislature.
Unlike Hunt. Ashurst is a cultured
man. an orator of no mean ability.

The Los Angeles Election.

If Mr.. George Alexander thinks he
IS the man who did it in Los Angeles.
he is making the mistake of a career
that has been plentifully sprinkled
with mistakes from the beginning.
And if Mr. Job Hartman thinks il
was an unfortunate combination of
Mcnamara case that caused his de-
feat for mayor. he is making even a
greater mistake
Doubtless the Mcnamara incident
contributed To- the huge majority on
the wave of which Alexander was
borne to victory. But the simple fact
about it all is that the people OF Los
Angeles will have none of socialism.
II is true there are large number
of socialists scattered along the coast
II is also true there are large num-
hers of them in the east and the mid
die west. Likewise there can he no
doubt that they are increasing in
numbers; and. while they probably do
not recognize it themselves. therein lies
the certainty of their defeat The
threat Of socialistic dominance would
have the same effect almost any
where than it had in Los Angeles.
Paradoxical as il may sound. the
strength of socialism is its weakness.
This is not an argument relative
70 the merits of socialism itself. To
the vast majority of Americans that
