Crops and Politics
BY HENRY cLEWS.

New York, Aug I'm spite OF
sound intrinsic conditions the stock
market shows less responsiveness TO
the favorable existing conditions than is
warranted The most plausible explana-
ton is lack of sufficient courageous
leadership. Many operators are alb
withstanding improved political condi-
tions considerable portion of our
Industrial leaders remain fearful OF
coming Legislation affecting the tariff
and trusts. In this connection, how
ever. II Is highly assuring that Candi-
dates of the two leading parties, one
of which is sure to be elected. are
both moderate in their ideas. Repub-
l.can and democratic alike are agreed
that tariff revision dOwuwards is i'm
porativc, but both parties are commit.
ted 10 a moderate treatment OF the
subject In order to avoid disturbing
consequences to business. Moderate
action is also promised by both can
didates in the treatment Of large cor
porations. Neither party fayors trust
smashing. There Is every reason,
therefore, TO anticipate the handling
OF these two great problems IN man
ner that viii be least disturbing. II
these promises are faithfully fulfilled
II should mean a decline OF extreme
radicalism, which proved such a ser
ious drag upon business enterprise
for the past year or two. In the west
the disposition 70 cat loose from pol
itics is much more pronounced than
here. This Is because that section OF
the country is more largely dependent
upon crops than the east, which relies
chiefly upon the initiative Of capital.
As soon as business men understand
upon what lines 10 operate we may ex,
pect a fresh revival Of enterprise.
Among the timid there viii be more
or less hesitation until after the cleo
ton, or even until the new congress
assemblies in December. 1913.
Crops are now OF vastly more i'm.
portance than politics Each week
strengthens the outlook for large
and profitable harvest. Wheat is turn

dict that the crop OF 1910 whict

passed. Corn, however. is somewhat
late and still in danger OF early frost

Is somewhat premature. As for cot

Germany's Industrial Life.

The industrial life of Germany gives
the impression of a great street crowd
ed with heavy traffic. This traffic is
formed of units, but all have common
purpose and directizNC. and it is well
regulated. 1t is aggressive, noisy and
dangerous to those who brave its com
petitive perils. Il is artificial, as it
caters TO the needs Of man largely out
side Of the actual necessities for sub
sistence, and it is subject to increases
or decreases, COMPOSITIONS or even sud
den Stoppages, for, unlike the bulk of
the traffic Of the United States. it is not
the irresistible flow of a mighty river
Of natural products seeking the level
OF supply and demand. Ever increas-
ing its volume, ever extending its zone
Of influence, the foreign trade Of Ger
many is the marvel of the twentieth
century.-James Davenport WneIpIey

sues being neglected in preference for
those paying higher rates.
The outlook for the general market
is still for increased activity as soon
as the leaders are prepared to assume
the initiative. From now on politics
will be less disturbing; the harvest
will soon be beyond doubt; business
will have a chance TO resume normal
activity: congress adjourns soon; the
/ international outlook is clear; indus
! trial conditions at home are intrinsic
ally sound; increased activity in pig
| iron shows confidence in that quarter;
/ the financial situation is sound, and
the railroads will soon be taxed to
their utmost in moving the crops. so
that there is every reason to assume
a more cheerful attitude towards the
future.

 RAILROAD PLANNED.

Several Phoenicians are interested in the Parker & Colorado River Rail- road company, a corporation formed for the purpose of building a forty five mile railroad between Parker and Ehrenberg, on the Arizona side of the river.
 Articles of incorporation have been filed with the state auditor. The in- corporators are Paul Peirce of Los Angeles; Fen S. Hildreth, O. F. Schupp, l.. H. Chalmers and J. L. Gust of Phoenix. The capital stock is $1,000,000 of which 40,4OO has been subscribed for by the incorpora- tors. Pierce took S4O,000 and the others S100 apiece. It is understood that more stock is to be taken by d syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists.
 Application was recently made to the Department of the Interior to al low representatives of the company to make railroad survey across the Colorado River Indian reservation. This permission was granted and the survey will begin this week. A par ty has been sent out from Los Angeles to do the work.
 A bill is to be introduced at once in Congress, asking for a right of way across the reservation.

Committee on Labor Adds New Sections Making Measure Still More Drastic in
 Its Terms

BILL AS AMENDED WILL BE CON- SIDERED IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE WITH REF ERENDUM AMEND
 MENT.

Senate Bill No. 21, more familiarly known as the Kinney Bill," still holGs the centre of the stage in public in terest at the state capital. In a new form it was reported to the Senate on Monday and will now be consider ed in Committee of the Whole in the upper house, where it will undoubt- edly be reported favorably, carrying the referendum clause.
 When the Senate committee on La bor reported the bill the second time to the Senate it's scope had been eE- 1arged, and under the provisions of the bill as it now reads it will be inn possible for any employer to employ any non-English speaking employees on construction work of any kind, railroads, mines, street railways, cleo trical works, etc, and an inspector to be appointed later is to be made the sole judge of the English speaking qualifications of the employee.

FIRST PAYMENT ON APACHE BOX
 |S MADE
BOSTON MEN ARE THE PRINCE PALS AND THE MONEY WAS PAID OVER TO ORIGINAL
 OWNERS IN BISBEE.

.El Paso, May 2.-The first payment on the purchase price of the Apache Box gold mine, the new discovery in western New Mexico, near the Arz- ona boundary, was made last Monday in BiSbee by w. H. Small of Ell Paso, one of the men interested in the op- tion taken from the original owners. The payment amounted to SIP, 2,500. The purchasers of the mine are the Smith brothers, capitalists of Boston
 MT. Small who has returned here, says that the Boston men will begin soon the erection of a 250-ton mill and cyanide plant on the Apache Box. Al ready they have a large force of min CTS at work developing the ore bodies.
 The Ell Paso Foundry & Machine company will construct the mill, whic hwill operate thirty-fve stamps and have the most modern storage on the cyanide system of recovery of values.
 MT. Small is interested in the Apache Box and says he has shown his confidence in it by making a deal whereby the original owners are tn receive S200,000 before he is paid any thing. He is very optimistic of the outcome of developments and, like others, believes that a wonderful gold discovery has been made.
 He declared last night that he had received information that two more of gold have been ma ie in the vicinity of the Apache BO>. The mines have thus far showed a good supply of both gold and silver, and it is believed that many mining engineers overlooked a bet when they examined the Box, from the fact tn t they were hunting for copper, not gold.
 MT. Small says that mill is un- der construction by the Twin Peaks people, three miles from Apache Box.
