As such their interests should be mutual with those of the communities whose patronage and good will their prosperity largely depends The abandonment of politics by the railroads is not pleasing to the politicians and less so to the loud mouthed demagogues The News pledges just the square dea more less the rail- roads which do business in Arizona.
