Helping the Little Fellow

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of a rhoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could not
afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we i've him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an av-
erage of less than 2 2-3 cents a pair
and let us keep them up to date. That
is fair arrangement. Some of the
big fellows don't like our system, be-
cause they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fel.
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike nc
matter how many machines they use
If it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
torie sanywhere and no prosperous fac
tories in small towns.

ARIZONA'S NEW LAND LAW
Tends to CompIicate Negotiations Be-
tween United States and Japan
Affects Mexico

ngton.-Arizona's new alien
land law is regarded here as seriously
complicating the negotiations with
Japan because the act does not contain
the same direct bar against the Japan
csc as the California act. 1t is ex-
pected, however, that because of its
adverse effect upon Mexican landown-
ers in Arizona a protest will be forth
coming from the Mexican government,
even in view of the rather irregular
status of the diplomatic relations be-
tween America and Mexico.
With both the American and JAP
anese governments waiting on the final
action of Governor Johnson, the pos
sibility of postponing the operation of
the proposed California bill by invok-
| ing the referendum is again being dis
cussed in official circles. The over.
whelming majority for the Webb bill
in both branches of the California leg
islature makes some Californians in
Washington doubtful if the necessary
10000 signatures for a referendum
could be secured.
