A NEEDED I'M
PR0VEMENT

Several years ago movement
was started, the object of which
was the construction of bridge
across the Little Colorado River
about two miles Northeast OF
this city. The cost of this bridge
was to be in the neighborhood OF
81, 100000, all Of which was to be
furnished by the County except
ing what could be raised by pop
ular subscription among the citiz-
ems of Winslow. The timber
needed in the construction of this
bridge was hauled down to the
river banks just in time for the
high water to wash it away, and
since then nothing has ever been
done towards getting a bridge
put in at this point.
While good roads are being
agitated, it seems that this much
needed improvement should not
be overlooked. A bridge at this
point, while it would cost con-
siderably more than the estimated
cost of the former bridge, owing
to the widening of the channel is
thing WinSlow needs, and needs
badly. The entire country lying
east and northeast of this city
will be brought into direct COM
munication with us by such a
structure. And the increase in
trade would mean much to Wins
low business men. At the pres
ent time, the Hopi Indian Reser-
walton and adjacant country is
practically cut off from Winslow
and the bulk of trade goes to
other points.
This bridge should be county
charge, as it is a direct and ma
terial benefit to the one largest
settlement in the county and one
from which the county receives a
large portion of it's revenue.
While the people of Winslow, no
doubt, would be willing to help
out in getting this much needed
improvement, they should bring
it to the attention of the proper
authorities and leave nothing un-
done until they are heard.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME OF
FLOYD HAMPTON and
BURNS CHILD

"A lIS, NJ SOuiIldUly OAG W QS-
feet IN electric wiring, caused the
total destruction of the cottage
occupied by Floyd Hampton, pub
Usher of the Winslow Mail, and
resulted in serious burns to his
four year old daughter Fay, Mon
day night. The two children of Mr..
Hampton were asleep when the
fire started and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hampton were at work in the
printing office which adjoins the
dwelling. Smoke entering the
shop from the rear was the first
intimation of danger and rushing
to the sleeping apartments of the
little ones Mr.. Hampton was con-
fronted with flame and smoke
but with desperate efforts that
resulted in singeing his face and
almost suffocation he CROPPED his
way to the bed room, snatched
his babes from the flames and
carried them to safety, one Of
them unconscious and badly
burned about the face and hands.
The cry of fire spread in all OIL
rections and in a few minutes
brought hundreds of spectators
to the scene. When the fire boys
arrived with hose the flames had
enveloped the entire cottage and
were reaching the residence of J.
B. Drumm whose family sought
safety with nearby neighbor.
The inhammable nature of the
structure and material made it
an easy prey to the hungry flames
and the printing plant as we'll as
the dwelling seemed doomed to
destruction. The absence of
wind and the dampness of the
night must be credited largely
with preventing the spread of
what might have been catas-
trophe of large proportions. Two
employees of the Santa Fe road
brought a hose cart from the old
round house and were first to get
water on the fire, followed close
ly by a second stream from the
Winslow Company. The fire
boys tho handicapped by lack of
sufficient apparatus and the near
ness of the crowd that hampered
them in their work showed skill
in arresting the progress of the
flames and in a few minutes it
was apparent that the chief dam
age would be confined to the
dwelling house. leaving the print
ing shop and ]. B. Drumm's S res
idence in comparative safety
The loss Of the building with
contents destroyed was estimat-
ed at $600.00, the damage to
the paper stock and machinery
being but slight.
A scorching of the rear of J..
B. Drumm's residence and the
damage incident to stretching a
hose thru the entire house was
the extent of his loss. The child
of Floyd Hampton is making good
progress and it's speedy recovery
is expected by attending physi-
clans.
The tent house occupied by
Dutch Amen was damaged
considerably, the front porch be-
ing burned off and water flooding
the basement. Loss fully covered
by insurance.

PRICE CUTTING
Does The Public Benefit Thereby?


The laws which have been
passed in various states for the
purpose # prohibiting misleading
advertis, ments. constitute an ef-
fectlv4 Wei non against the price
cutter.
The City of Los: Angeles has
gone one STE. :'urther, and has
passed a city ordinance prohibit
ing certain kinds of untrue and
misleading advertisements MAX
ing 1T q crime to disseminate. or
/ cause to be made any statement
or assertion of fact in relation TO.
modifying, explaining, or in any
manner concerning any merchan-
disc offered for sale which state
ment takes the form, OF has the
appearance of, or which is in
tended to, commend such mer-
chandise to the public, with the
intend to ;mislead or misinform
the buying public.
In Los Angeles now, any police
man on duty. can make an arrest
without waiting for the ponder
Gus machinery of the law, to be
set in motion.
In the last analysis, price-cu'
ting is an insult to the public in
telligence. It is safe statement
to make, that no merchant can
continue to give values that others
give. for less than half the mon
ey, and then make living. No
merchant can do business without
a profit, and hope to keep it up.
There are times when all leeitim-
ate merchants may have bargains,
or heavy stock on some items,
that he wishes to turn into mon
ey. But when a merchant sells
below cost, or makes bait on
some particular items without
profit, that profit must be made
up on other items. The public
intelligence will not believe that
such a merchant will not sllbse-
quently recover that deficit by
charging rather more than the
usual value, when he has succeed
ed in attracting the desired in
crease of customers. From the
point of view of the common well
fare, price-cutting is normal, for
it merely means robbing Peter
to pay Paul.
The real usefulness of the Los
Angeles law is this: No corpor-
alton will cut the price on goods
of known value, such as Gillette
razOrs. Ingersoll watches, East
man Kodaks, etc., if it is unable
to recoup its losses by the same
article of unknown value.
When a dry goods store, for
instance, no longer dares to ad-
vertise that it will sell Crepe de
China worth SOC for 3212c a yard,
that store will be compelled to
make a reasonable profit in all
the commodities it offers for sale,
or else go into bankruptcy.
No establishment will continue
to run at a loss all know that
perfectly well. The buying pull :
lie expects to pay profit on what
it uses. Why then should any
merchant who is reputable, adopt
the tactics of the sneak thief?

The NEED OF PRICE
MAINTENANCE
(By Ebert Hubard)

1t is an old and well-knowr
rule in common law that the mar
who produces a thing has the
right to fix the price at which
he shall sell it.
At the time this rule was
made, the seller was assumed to
be the producer and the buyer
the consumer.
If the consumer did not want
to pay the price asked, let him
go without or buy elsewhere.
The producer can keep his arti-
Gle for his own consumption, he
can give it away, or he can sell
it at his own figure.
If. however, according to lat
est construction, the producer
sells his commodity to a second
person and an agreement is made
between the second party and
the first that the second party
shall not sell this article to
third party below a certain price,
the government interferes and
says that this transaction is in
restraint Of trade, and therefore
illegal.
And in such cases where the
party is found guilty, penalties
can be enforced and an injunc-
ton lies.
In the case of the Miles Med
icine Company, the Supreme
Court laid down the rule that
the producer, having received
the price which he fixed upon as
satisfactory return to himself,
can not go beyond this and agree
with some one else as to the
price that shall be charged the

CONSUMER.
Where Fallacy Lies

llC 1CilcJSy vi GlllO ICdSOIlllS
lies in the assumption that when
a manufactures sells a thing and
gets his money, he is eliminated
from all further interest in the
transaction.
This implies that business can
be done on oneside transactions.
This might have been true in
the days of the handicrafts, but
it is not true in these times when
men invest vast sums in plant
and equipment. For one sale
has got to lead to others other
wise bankruptcy follows. Every
sale in modern times must pave
the way for re-sales. We are
working to build up an indust-
ry-not merely to make money.
The fact remains that unless
the manufacturer of widely ad-
vertised article is able to main
tain the price at which it shall
be sold to the ultimate consumer.
competition becomes destructive
instead of beneficient, in exact
proportion to the popularity of
the article. The final result will
be the elimination from the mar
ket of. this particular article,
whatever it may be.
Cutthroat prices cut the throats
of the commodities involved sim
ply because the dealer, being
human, will not continue the sale
of an article on which he makes
no profit.
The only y'object of cutting the
price of an article to practically
cost. or below, is to attract trade.
Having attracted trade, that
ends the object of handling the
article.
When the consumer applies
/ for this article, he will find that
the cut-rate dealer is probably
out of it, and that he is substitute
ing with something else just
as good. "
