CONTRACTURAL DEBTS.

The Arizona legislature recently
enacted a law making mining prop
erty, operated under lease, option or
otherwise responsible for the indebt-
edness for labor of all employees
working upon the property. In a
recent decision handed down by the
supreme court of Wyoming a statute
somewhat similar in import was de
clared unconstitutional.
| The statute under consideration re
quired the owner to take from the
contractor a bond for the payment OF
all debts for labor and materials, pro-
visions or goods of any kind incurred
in carrying ON the work, or in de
fault of such bond the property of
the owner should be liable for debts
contracted. The only feature lack.
ing i'm the Arizona statute is the bond
requirement, but the holding of the
property of the owner liable for the
debts. I'm consonance with this theory
| lit would be impossible to fix debt
ON one class of property, and nOt
make the application of the law
general. Taking the rule that mine
under lease is liable for the debts cd
the lessee, why would it not follow
that a farm would also be liable fol-
its lesSee's debts, and so ON AID infin
itum. And then, what real protection
would property owners have in the
matter of leasehold if the lessee could
fix a debt against his landlord s prop
erty. 1t would appear ito us that the
: rule laid down by the Supreme Court
of Wyoming will be generally follow

THE UNRESTFUL FARMER,

A great deal is said of late about
rural unrest, as though this were CON.
fined to rural localities alone. Is not
every Calling in a state Of unrest?
Have they not always been? Is not
unrest our natural condition whether
rural or urban? Of course, the far
mer is DIN a condition of unrest. He
lis struggling, like all others, to i'm
prove his condition, to make his life
more pleasant and his surroundings
better. And the farmers wife lis as
unrestful as he. She, too, wants bet
ter conditions, and they are going to
have them. Unrest means a reaching
out for something better, and that,
the farmer is doing, and SO long as
there are better conditions to be at
tanned he will be unrestful When
he has gained all that is worth hav-
ing, then he will be restful-and

PLAN TO REDUCE
COST OF LIVING

In Kentucky the farmers have tax
EN- UP the high cost of living prob
lem and purposes to solve it SO far
as they and their families are con-
cerned. Their solution, the cO-opera-
tive plan, is not a new one. 1t has
been tried at one time or another in
various parts of the United States
and in England. The Kentuckians,
however, intend to make more com
elsewhere. They expect to begin by
organizing a farmers union covering
the state and establishing central
stores in every county seat in coun-
ties where the organization has been
completed Wherever possible the
stores Will be conducted by union OF
ficerS In no caes Will a manager be
other than a member. WhereVer lit
cam be done sons and daughters of
union members will be employed
clerks. ALI profits will be turned in
to a common fund for each cOmmlIn-
ity and distributions of these profits
made at stated periods.
According to reports from LeXing-
tom a beginning has already been
made 1t is stated that unions have
been organized in several counties
and wherever cooperative stores have
been established they have given sal.
in these stores are constantly at work
and by the time the present tobacco
wheat and corn crops are ready foI
harvest many more counties Will, it
is expected, have taken UP the matter
and have started on this new way ut
solving the problems OF the high cost
of living. The promoters OF in
movement are careful to explain that
nobody is to make amy money olt

to the farmers themselves The
stores are to carry every sort OF
goods, on the order of department.

American railways are opposed to
the development of waterways i'm this

are opposed to moderate tolls on
ships passing through the Panama
canal. 1t costs about $50 per ton to
carry freight by rail across the con-
tinent and only 81 per ton to ship lit
from San Francisco around Cape

GREELEY STILL LIVES.

Those of the generation of fifty
years ago easily remember the i'm
petus given to emigration to the
west by Greeley's famous slogan, Go
west, young man." says writer in
the Times Illustrated Weekly. The
great founder of THE New York TIL
bune had been west, and living as he
did i'm the east, he saw the lnnllmer-
able and inestimable opportunities in
the west awaiting the young man
of the east, already congested with
population.
From that day to this the tide OF
migration from east to west has been
enormous. The initial movement of
the tide begins away back in east
crn Europe. 1t presses ever west
ward until, impinging ON the eastern
shores of America, it piles up like
the tidal flood of the gulf stream
in the Bay of Fundy. The tendency
is all the time toward greater and
greater congestion of population in
the eastern cities. Conditions OF
life ON the east side i'm New York
are Just a little better than in the
border land between Europe and Asia.

is in a little less degree true of Chi
cago, and so ON i'm diminishing ratio

cording to size and according to dis
lance from the Atlantic seaborad.
The west of today is not like that
of Horace Greeley's day. But the
west is still the land of opportunity,
and the farther west one goes the
more numerous and the more invlt-
ing the opportunities. The west OF

immigrant who seeks these opportun-
