WAR MEASURES Vs. WAR PRICEs7

America today is facing a strange dilemma. shal we send our food Europe Cproyided we get shps with great profit Che and spectators? Or shall we keep it at home. for the benefit of the masses?
 Desirable as it is to gain access to the abnormal markets opened abroad by the purpose to whicl Che government bending all it's energy, are forced to recognize that the American people have right to living at less than famine prices in time of plenty. the prices possible in England France and Germany allowed to dictate prices here at home ntoerabe in justice win be done to every poor family in America
 Am appeal addressed to Mayor Mitchell of New York by several hundred Italian laborers shows how serious the situation has already become
 "Wc are common artisans" they say, living almost from hand to mouth and working at most three days week, and could barely along under conditions before the war but now the matter has become much worse
 Local dealers have asked prices for domestic aru cIos such as macaroni butter cheese. coffee, etc. from 20 to 30 per cent higher How man sup port family of six Or children when he has C, pay such eyorbttant prices for food?"
 Public sentiment everywhere, particularly in large cities growing very bitter Everybody knows that there enough and to spare everybody knows that ther' a widespread effort to take adyantage of consumers.
 Producers holding back their products when they jobbers and wholesalers and retailers for the mos part exacung all the uanc will bear But the chie wrong seems be inflicted by the speculaors who hav grip hundreds millions of dollars worth of cattle meat grain butter and canned goods and are hold ing them for war prices whether exported or consumeo at home
 Never since the "embalmod beef' scandals of ou Spanish have holders pureyors of food appeared in SO favorable a light
 Our problem is to live through this upheayal wit thc minimum suffering. H is much patriotic dur here to light high prices t is in Europe to fight th enemy. Any man who plans to take bread out of th, mouths of the poor is little less chan traitor
 A powerful effort is being made in Washington, Nev York and elsewhere to persuade those who contro prices act with real patriotism to relieve the artidcia scarcity of food and thereby stem popular indignation If they win respond, well and good If they insist ol eouatns the public. they may face retaIiatory wa measures

NO PRoeRssslvE FUSION

When Col Roosevelt declared for State Senator Harvey D. Hnman a Republican. as Progressive candi. late for the governorshp of New York it looked like the beginning Of fusion movement throughout the country
 The Colonel's announcement however, was received with constemauon in many Progressive stronghods lyen in New York it hard line up the rank and lie of the new party for Senator Hinmau. When the andidate fearful of losing straight Republican support declared himself Republican without qualification, and minated that he would not lift finger to help any other Progressive candidate on the ticket even if he were nominated on that ticket the limit was reached Col Roosevelt had yield the protests of his friends md drop Hinman Now he demands a straight Pro ressive ticket in New York state and promises to fight for it with an his energy.
 There may be two morals concealed in this bit of political history First Roosevelt though for lis ability to judge men, may not be infaible that respect; second the Progfessive party may not be- as foes have asserted CooneIs personal possession it seems to have a mind of its own which even its ,reator must yield to on occasion

CANAL BONDS 10 MEET DEFICIT

It has been suggested that the government meet tho anticipated deficit in customs receipts by issuing Panama ana bonds instead of imposing direct The canal been paid for largely from expenses funds nd of the $375OOOOOo of canal bonds authorized re- nburse the treasury there remain S2llOOOOOO yet ssued
 This looks like more sensible way of meeting the nergency than either such revenue tax im osed during the Spanish war or an immediate increase a the federal income rates. We have those bonds yailable without the formaty of further legislation imply because the government has had much money
 it's pocket he last few years that t hasn't needed to them. It looks almost as if they were provdentally avod for just such a purpose this. a time when my increase Of taxation would add to the temporary usetuement of business and delay the restoration of 'ur industry end commerce
 There is plenty of money in the country available such investments and buying United States bonds much more rational use for it than sending 1t abroad 70 proIong the war

WATCHING THE GREAT DRAMA

We need no longer expect sudden, startling deyoI. 1pments in the war zone From now on it is likely be a hard grueIing struggle with the opposing forces trying to wear out crush each other by the slow, steady pressure of numbers. The main battle n progress may last for a week a month
 Viewed, however with the eye of imagination. this is m amazing spectacle History records nothing like it. The battle line extends all the way from Basel switzer and. to- Antwerp Belgium. over this irregular stretch lf 25O miles armies probably numbering more than l. 100000 each side facing each other in forts md trenches and amored cars sEimishing with horse field pieces and air craft occasionally making es into the enemys territory giving battle with a he panoply modern warfare.
 There must be countless spectacular deeds and feats valor taking place behind the screen of silence m- osed by strategic censorship. In this bewiderng com llex campaign there may already for thou and novels and dramas. But little of t reaches the outer world and what does leak through is mostly tripped of life and color in barren official reports
 In this battle each side will win victories and suffer defeats. The fight as whole may be draw, with 100000 men sacrificed in vain. Or there may be an. other Austerlitz Waterloo that win make tremendouz evs when the battle smoke clears away, and may Ge ermine the outcome of the war
 Nobody knows. We can only wait And while wah. ng we may obtain knowledge of the situation and che sast interests involved that will enable us to realize he full import of the story when it
 For these are big days. Future generations may envy position spectators, more than we ] envy those who heard first hand the news of the 'ersans defeat at salamis the conquests of Alex 'nder or charemagne or the worldshaking Frencl | Revolution

.FIcs IS FIcsv IN LOS ANGELES

Dr. and Mrs Brack have the honor of growing figs that had the honor of topping the Los Angeles market in the midst of the fig season when the com petition is keen. The Mesa Produce company. the concern sending the fruit from this place received a wire yes terday calling attention to the excel lent flavor of the fruit and especially the condition of the fruit when picked and it's condition in handling before be- ing acked.
 Dr. Brack has number of fig trees in his yard on East First avenue. He personally looks after the picking of the fruit and he sees to it that there are no bruised places and that not a fig to be shipped is allowed to fall to the ground and become in the least damaged After the fruit is carefully placed in a basket it is taken to the house where Mrs. Brack becomes a party to the transaction and carefully polishes every fig that is to be ship ped It was this kind of handling that was in a great way responsible for winning the high honors in the Los Angeles market

TWO CARLOADS
 OF ADVERTISING

With the exception of the Egyptian cotton, there is possibly nothing of greater advertising value that goes out of the valley annually than Frank Reed Sanders accompanied by his herd of Dutch Belted cattle and other high grade prize winning animals that he is able to select for making his rounds Of tn eastern state fair circuits. MT. Sanders has had eighteen years eX- perience in the show ring business and he is a capable and efficient judge of fancy cattle. This experience is of in- estimab ble value to the Salt River valley for it enables the ranchers of this sec tion to profit of his ability to purchase prize winning animals throughout his eastern trips
 Down at his barns south of Mesa MT. Sanders is grooming his sleek we'll fed heifers and cows until the peculiar marking of the belted cattle looks as though it were placed there by a paint CTS brush The stock is in the pink of condition and everything is being made ready for the show ring. Two car loads of cattle, a car of Dutch belted and car of Guernseys will be used in
 the exhibits The start will be made from here about July 1st and Ohio will
 be the first fair at which the animals
 will be shown. The state fairs at
 which the animals will be exhibited
 will be New York. Indiana. Kentucky,
 Illinois, and Tennessess. The fair sea-
 son will close about october l in ample
 time to allow the cattle to be returned
 to their home near this city and to
 get rested up from their long journey
 in order to take an important part in the Arizona state fair where they have never failed to be one of the features of the bovine exhibit.
 As soon as the Arizona fair is over Mir Sanders is going to commence making ready for the San Francisco fair. He realizes that the cattle show at that place will be the greatest the world has ever known and he hopes to center his whole attention upon that one thing and win prizes as he has been in the habit of doing since entering the show ring.
