MR. LINo AND aUsINEss


 In introducing to the voters Of this state the sub joined subject The Review will discuss with editorial breyiy. the remarks of two living in Arizona and known to her people are quoted in order to present viewpoint with which we disagree. One of the quota tious is taken rom campaign literature out by Che press agen for M Ling candidate for the United States Senate at the Democratic primary. u must be as sumed therefore that Mr. Ling subscribes to the senti meut Here is the quotation:
 "If given a scat in the seDate he (Nr Ling)
 will uot stand by tbe interests of the corporations. but will guard thc interests of the labor organiza- uons"
 In other words Mr. Ling goes before the people as a champion batter of corporations and avowed foe oI successful busuess He takes the position that capital! for some reason is inherently bad and labor organza uons for unassigned reasons Inherently good He de- clares that capital and labor mismated But capital would be helpless without labor and labor could mol without capital yet Mr. Ling would cast off the latter and leave labor prostrata Is this wholesome attitude for a true friends of labor? the stand taken by some the other candidates office in this State Their motives obvious They prostitute their conscences for the price of few votes They seek panden to Che fraes of deformed or mtutored minds
 
 of rafncbng Arizona like other commonwealths la especially this year the fact that men of com mandnr ability show SO little disposition to enter public service Private enterprise is taking undue share Of the best brains of the State In general our importance public offices have not been filled efficiently our big business positions Yet the man who has won his way by merit to a big business position would be made choppinp block if he stood election in this State Truths sometimes hurt but is not this the truth. Mr. Voter?
 The turning tide throughout the nation has not yet reached Arizona. Elsewhere thinkers and captains Of industry are developing new social conscience and are beginning to esteem public honor more highly than pri vate gain This is one of the most hopeful tendencies in contemporary politics. IT 1t ia encouraged. it means new blood and yigor through all the branches orr public life from the town hall to the White House.
 Arizona owes her prosperity to the activities Of men who did things the past and doing things in the present Arizona was developed by capital ad mnistered by corporations Yet Mr. Ling proclaims war on capital administered by corporations. Yet MT Ling procaims a capital and that "h' win not stand by he interests Of corporations" II, would knock the support beneath the feet of labor an any man who breaches from suc6 testament b other than a traitor 10 labor? The successful bushes man owes his success largely to the men with whom he surrounds himself These non compose his organic. uon If these are not absolutely fair treat meut he organization falls if the organization with holds loyal support the head falls with enur structure
 These comments are not intended as comprising special plea for he industrial leaders of our State Tho can take care Of themselves But their experiences pr sent such notable example of Che new business D. trotsm anlagonized by shortsiehted politics that he eases are in tbe nature of test cases. When such me arc humuiated or rebuned how can we expect others similar cabre to volunteer In 7ur public service?
 In our community. the Warren msricg are l catad several of the Iargost corporations In Arzo. Unu the recent business depression. about mllHn dollars was paid out monthly n wages. Miners receive higher wage scale han prevailed elsewhere in u country Almost without exception the officials of q companies orc mon vho have risen from The ranks. r mucser of yesterday .s tho superintendent or tocay i me intention Of Mr Ling o go before the humb worker and say: Thou shall not succeed because sp cess "a siu2" Does Mr. Ling and his like proclaim u. prosperity in Arizona ia ouuaued2 Are Arizona's so who are at t5e head of bis industries be hailed vi he cry "uncloan. uncean" and p,oided aa lepers?
