CLEVER DEVICES TO DRAW TRADE

TN an English city not long ago the junior
: partner of a drygoods firm applied for
warrant for the arrest of his partner, on the
ground that he was selling goods below cost
and SO running the firm. So great was the
local interest in this case that the court
room was as crowded when the suit came up
for trial as it might have been had a sensa-
tional murder case been the cause. Counsel
for the senior partner moved for postpone
ment of the trial. in order that he might
have more time to prepare his case. The
motion was granted. As the defendant left
the courtroom, the younger member of the
firm stood up and angrily cried:
"1f he is released, the sacrifice will 90 on!'
The consequence was that an hour later
the shop was mobbed by bargain seekers,
and eventually, when the case was called
again. no plaintiff appeared, whereupon the
case was dismissed. The whole affair was
simply ruse on the part of the firm to at
tract customers.
Following is an instance of how disaster
was turned to good account by French
cloth manufacturing concern. This concern
actually doubled its profits through balloon

HOME BUILDERS
 GROWTH FACTOR
Company Under Manage ment of R. H. Greene and V. c. Cook Helps Greatly Improvement of Phoenix Property

One of the big factors in the growth and prosperity of Phoenix is the fact that to a large extent the people own their homes This has been largely brought about through the agency of the Phoenix Building X Loan AssO- citation which has been under the management of R. H Greene for nearly 23 years. and during that time has assisted hundreds of people in buying and paying for their homes in Phoenix. In February, 1910, Home Builders was organized by Mir. Greene and other substantial business men. This organization working on similar lines to the Building X Loan Asso- citation but it bOes further. Constructs the home as well as furnish the mon cy to be repaid on easy payments
 This organization is under the man. agement of R. H. Greene as president and V. C. Cook. secretary, and The Greene & Griffin Real Estate & Inv. Co. as fiscal agents.
 Home Builders has been d success beyond the expectation of the most optomistic. In little more than two years they have constructed some 65 homes at an aggregate cost of S200,- 900. In March, 1912, they purchased 20 acres of very desirable property on the west side of Central Ave. which has been plated into 92 lots. They have named this Chelsea Place. and when the improvements are completed consisting of cement walks and curbs. oiled streets, city water, gas, electric lights and phone service. it will be one of the best improved and best located residence property in Phoenix.
 Although the improvements are not completed there has been a good sale of this property and six fine resi- dences costing from s3.OOO to s7.5OO. are now under construction and others will soon be under contract.
 on July 1st, they completed the purchase of the Campbell Flaming Mill which for the past year they have been operating on a lease.
 They are now fully equipped to bulld anything. Having a present working capital of nearly s25O. 900 when a contract is put in their hands there IS no question about finances. Belng one of the financial institutions of the Capital City of Arizona thev do nothing but the best work.

As to Clubbing
eIeCtlOn :.

The socialistic governor of Cali fornia as well as the socialisuc or administration newspapers of that state continue to deprecate the defi- ant attitude of the people of san Diego toward the governor in the matter of dealing with the l. w. W. orators and agitators Much is made of the threat of the chief of police to club the street speakers.
 In doing so the police would only be following d well established prdc- tice of the police throughout the United States and most other civilized countries in dealing with recaIcitrants. The club should not, of course, figure in the early stage of the ceremony of an arrest but when the offender is bent upon experimentation wita the law or upon resisting an officer, the club should be made to perform the function for which it was ere ated
 If the people of San Diego had been let alone by the state authorities and had not been made the object of sym pathy of the sociaIistic newspapers, by now these worthless vagabonds would be giving San Diego a wide berth The continued annoyance of the people of the Bay city who seem competent to handle their own af- fairs may be laid at the door of demagogues who are bidding for the political support of all who are against law and order

ceed with the work of forming d new charter. The present organic law of the city is antiquated and curious piece of patchwork It was supposed to meet the needs of Phoenix twenty five years ago and from time to time it has been amended to meet accru- ing needs But it was never. at the best. good charter The rapid progress the city has made within recent years has been made in spite of the handicap of the charter.
 More than year ago commission of thirty-one members was appointed to prepare a tentative charter. That work was done and then the business of forming permanent charter un- der the authority of an act of the present legislature was taken up It was decided to impose this task upon a commission of fourteen members. It was recommended by the retiring commission that fourteen of it's mem bers. since they had already familiar ized themselves with the subject be selected to form non partisan citi- zens ticket That subject was acted upon in the making of nominations and fourteen of the original charter commission were placed on the ticket. One of the nominees declined and another will probably withdraw, so that it will be necessary to select two other candidates.
 The sentiment in favor of a new charter. providing for the commission form of government is overwhelming so that. no doubt, the voters today will advise further progress.
 Voters should carefully read the instructions on the bottom of the bal lot where the main question is pr-- scented as follows Shall further pro- ceedings toward adopting a charter for the city of Phoenix, Arizona, be had in pursuance to the call for this election?'

Burdensome Government.

The news that the embattled citi- zens of Kansas find the esponsibil- ties of democracy d little onerous is rather disconcerting. It had been supposed that Kansans were gluttons for governing themselves, whether it interfered with their private busi- ness or not. The secretary of state has estimated that there will be an army of 5000 men seeking office To- cal, state and national, this fall. each of whom will have to circulate pe- titions for signatures. The great number of petitions" he says, bluntly, lis making the people of the state tired" He proposes d different scheme Every candidate should be made to pay an entrance fee" run ming from $50 for candidates for congress and the governorship down to $10 for candidates for local of fees This, in his opinion would reduce the number of candidates for the respective offices and result in the circulation of fewer petitions. The idea is novel That circumstance alone ought to make it popular il Kansas We doubt, though, if it would choke off many candidates Running for office is the most popu- lar of all sports in the Sunflower state.
