City. The New York Central lines had an advantage over all the others for many years because they were able to land passengers in the cen tral portion of Manhattan. while the competing carriers subjected their passengers to the inconvenience of ferry rides At enormous expense the Pennsylvania system built a tunnel under the Hudson river. so that it trains now land passengers in the heart of Manhattan. Another tunnel has placed similar facilities at the disposal of some other lines. Rail roads without this service are at q serious disadvantage.
 Calvin Tomkins. the progressive dock commissioner of New York City. has outlined plan for the construc- ton by New York and New Jersey. acting in unison. of freight tunnel under the Hudson river. for the use of all railroads. MT. Tomkins would have rates fixed by the interstate commerce commission. thus abolishing freight terminal competition.
 The principle of the plan urged by Commissioner Tomkins should appeal to Chicago. Though this city is the greatest railroad center in the world. it is doing practically nothing to as- sure equality of terminal facilities to the carrying corporations. It is per mitting the local competition for ad- vantage in railroad terminal facilities

WISCONSIN MAN WILL
 RETURN WITH FRIENDS
Farmers From Badger State Wili
 Move to the Salt River Valley.

A letter just received by the board of trade from gentleman in Fond Du Lac. Wisconsin. contains enough ideas 10 furnish texts for a series of ser mons If one were to take it d"d cogl- tate it. This gentleman was in Phoe- nix last winter for the benefit of his health but unfortunately. he followed the method pursued by so many who use climate simply as the means to an end. as soon as his health had inn proved he departed for his former haunts and relapsed into his old con dition. The man who wishes the ben cfIts obtained in the Arizona climate, to be permanent, must break the ties that bind him to his location and com ing here. throw in his lot with the people of this state.
 Another topic which the W isconsin man brought up in his letter is the high price of living in the Badger state One is always hearing the con- tention that the higher wages paid to persons in different occupations in Arizona, are really of no advantage to him since the cost of living is so much higher here The Wisconsin man re- flutes this argument by giving prices on one or two of the most common and most necessary commodities Tn the culinary accouterment. In Wis consin eggs are selling for 40 cents a dozen. in Arizona the fresh, right from the nest ranch eggs, bring 90 cents q dozen. and the kind that come from the frigid warehouse sell at 45. Butter in Wisconsin costs at retail 40 cents q pound and in Phoenix 1t can be bought at 45.
 The gentleman in question speaks or the fact that land in his neck Of the woods is S100 an acre, here 1t costs from s1OO to $500 an acre. The farmer in the Badger state harvests one crop a year of the grains and has one cut ting of hay, the rancher of the Salt River valley raises d crop Of wheat on his land and follows it with crop of milo maize that same year. He cuts from four to five growths Of alfalfa annually on his land and he can look from the door of his home out over green fields any day of the year. At this time of the winter his Wisconsin friend is shivering beside red not atove and wondering how much high

or the snow will pile over his windows before the blizzard lets up ani gives him a chance to dig his way out.
 The man from the frozen north says he intends to return and bring col ony of his agricultural friends with him and that he spends a goodly DOT ton of his time telling of the farms, the climate and the people in the Salt River valley. He and his friends are the kind of men that Arizona needs ard it is to be hoped that they come and stand not on the order of their departurc from the east.

The marked decline in the imports during the last two years. as eX-' plained in q statement recently issued by the bureau of statistics. is due to the high price of the plates in foreign countries, coupled with relatively lower prices in the United States. In October. 1911, the average imp1ct price of tin plates was 3S cents per pound. against 3.2 cs1ts in October of last year and 2.7 cents in OctoDe.'. 1909 As the value of imported arti- cles is based upon their actual whole sale price in the country from which exported to the United States. the fig ures quoted would seem to indicate a steady rise in the foreign price of tin plates. due in part to the rapid growth of the canning industry in all parts of the world. The growth in the domes- tic canning and preserving industry in the United States alone is illustrated by the fact that the value of products has increased from s3S.000.000 in 1890 to S157. .0OO, ,0OO in 1909. Practically all the tin plate imported into the United States is the product of the United Kingdom.
