THE BUSINESSiSIDE OF A NEWSPAPER

The public in general and the politicians in particular expect a great deal for nothing from a news paper. Because a newspaper may advocate and advance the principles of political partys it is does not necessarily tollowithat the columns of that newspaper are at the free disposal of every Ecandidate who seeks office in thes name of that party. The advertising columns of a newspaper isl it's stock in trade. These columns may be compared to the stock of merchandise a store keeper carries onshis shelves. They are for sale to merchants, manu-

WHOLE THEORY FALSE
TALK oE "scIENTIFIc PRoTEc-
 TIOND ALL NONSENSE.
Custom House Figures Tell All That Is Necessary to Know, as in the Case of the Steel
 Trust

According to Republican doctrine, a scientific protective tariff is one which imposes duties equal to the excess of the cost of production at home over the cost abroad plus reasonable prof it to the home producer.
 If we do not include the profit of the producer abroad in his cost of produc- ton. and if we can agree as to what is a reasonable profit to the home producer, 1t may be admitted that a tariff framed in accordance with this rule would be pauch more tolerable than any we have had for a century. But 1t would not be scientific for req sons like these:
 1. It is not scientific to take from the gains of some producers to swell the gains of others. The above rule as sumes that this Is just in any case where the cost of production is less abroad than at home. But it is evi- dently unjust and therefore unscien- tific.
 2. All commerce arises out of the fact that the people of every commu- nity can produce a few things better than any others, and can prosper only by exchanging those few for such other things as they want The Re publican doctrine is at war with this fact. It would induce some men to produce things at a loss by forcing their self-supporting neighbors to make up their losses with good profits added This is not science, but injus- tice by act of congress.
 8. Practically it is impossible for a commission to find out the difference between cost at home and abroad. The factors are too many and often too obscure for that.
 4. For most purposes the custom house returns supply the best scien- tific data. When they show that any industry-the steel industry, say-is exporting it's products in enormous and increasing quantities, and selling them abroad unprotected and in com petition with the whole world, 1t is perfectly safe to conclude that they can make a fair profit in the home market without tariff help from con gress-Chicago Journal.

facturers and individuals who wish publicity. The political candidate needs publicity and the columns of a newspaper is one medium he can employ. Billboards, placards and cards are another. The poli- tical candidate who seeks a poiiti- cal job with a fat salary attached should not expect the free use of the columns of a newspaper-even a newspaper of his own political beliefs.

Hon. John R.

These are sOmeti--es only to be found by excavation. A great many of these have been gone over and over and all of the Pottery and Stone implements have been taken to other states and even foreign countries are filling their Museums with these priceless articles. Act ing upon the suggestion of Dr. Whitesides a meeting of citizens of Arizona interested in preser wing our historic ruins has been called to meet in Phoenix during Terri torial Fair week.

In response to letters and tele- grams from prominent democrats in Arizona, including some of the candidates for state offices, and at the earnest and unanimous so- licitation of the democrats of the Greenlee County Democratic Gen. tral committee, Hon. John R.
 Hampton has consented to accept the position of state chairman of the Democratic State Central committee in the event the state committee offers him the honor. Mir. Hampton has keen appreci- ation of the hard labor connected with .that position, but has ex- pressed himself as willing to serve his party in the first state cam paign in any capacity the party may demand. As chairman of the Clifton Democratic club MT. Hampton did not take an active part in the primaries. He treated all candidates for state offices with uniform courtesy and attention. Mir. Hampton is allied with no faction of the democratic party in Arizona. He has the vigor and the ability to discharge the duties of state chairman in a man. ner that will mean success for the party. Neither Graham or Green lee county has any representation upon the state ticket and it would be a fitting selection to place John R. Hampton at the head of the State Democratic committee.

The republicans of Arizona are administration republicans. They are a part of the republican na- tional organization which has been styled by the insurgent republi- cans as 'reactionaries. The re- publican candidates in Arizona are a part of the Hitchcock politi- cal machine for the continuation of the republican party In power at Washington. How are you go- ing to vote?
The copper era., 1911-11-03

The republicans have nominat- ed complete county ticket in Greenlee County and the demo
 crats have done likewise. The republican candidates are work ing for the success of the 1eprbli- can state ticket and the democrats are working for democratic repre- sentatives in the legislature and at Washington. With which party are you in sympathy in this cam paign? Decide that question for yourselves and get on your own side. This is no Sunday school picnic; neither is 1t an Alfonso and Gaston affair. Political prin ciples are for the first time a real live issue in the first campaign in the new state of Arizona. Are you in sympathy with the party of Jefferson, Bryan, Champ Clark, Oscar Underwood and John Sharp Williams, or do you endorse the republican administration of Taft, Hitchcock, Aldrich, Payne, Gug- enheim, Shoot ct al? Do you be- lieve that the fight the democrats have waged for years against the protective tariff for the benefit of the Trusts is right? Do you be- lieve in strict economy in the ad- ministration of the government of this country2 Do you believe in election of senators by a direct vote of the people? Do you be- lieve in the purity of elections and the publicity of campaign funds. Get on your own side in this political battle in Arizona. This campaign is not a scramble for office. It is fight flor princi- pies. Are you going to trade off your principles for honeyed words2 Get on your own side. Take another hitch in your belt and hit the line hard.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET

Without reserva ton the ERA adds its endorsement to the candi- dates of the democratic party in Arizona who were placed in nomi- nation on Tuesday October 24th. The wisdom of the voters ir choos- ing as their nominees a democratic senator from the nurth and dem
 ooratic senator from the south was the acme of fairness. The non ina tion of the ticket from all sections of the stat te has givenit an elem ent of strength which was at first deemed impossible under the pri- mary plan. We find the demo- crats entering upon the most lm- portant campaign in the history e. Arizona without dissenSion. The majority of the party has ex- pressed its preference in favor of the successful nominees and the minority have wheeled into line without missing step. Democrats, who believe in the grand funda- mental principles of the democra- tic party, which the state and county candidates represent, have donned their political war paint and gone to the front in this fight to place representa- lives from Ari zona in the ranks of those national democratic representa- tives at Washington who are waging the battle for Equal Rights to All; Special Privileges to None."
 That this will be democratic year in Arizona is conceded. This is not an idle statement It is a fact. The hope of our republican friends is confined to a single can date here and there in the several counties The best evidence of the majority which will be cast in favor of the democratic ticket in Arizona is the interest manifested by the rank and file of the party. They had aydirect voice in the nomina tion of their state ticket. The ticket was nominated fairly and squarely and the voters of the democratic party are determin ed that Arizona shall enter the union as a democratic state A democratic victory is in the air. The signs of the times are that a democratic presi dent will be elect ed in 1912. The people of the country are dissatisfied with the failure of the republican party to keep it's pledges. This dissatisfac- ton has steadily grown week by week, month by month, since the inaugura ton of President Taft There has been wholesale deser- tions from the ranks of the repub- lican party during the past two years. Try as they may the old republican leaders cannot check these assertions and we'll may President Taft himself admit the probable defeat of his party at the next presidential election. This is no time for a democrat to for sake his party. The long hard fight has been made. The dawn of victory is at hand and the Ari- zona democrats will be on hand DecembeI Il to help do the shout ip0

in price quickly took place the East
India company still had 10 pay over
