THIS NEWS GENTLY TO CALAN1
ITYt SHOUTERS

In my own State, which is a great manufac-
turing community, in the city OF Elizabeth, is a
great plant, known the Singer Sewing Ma
chine plant, employing 10000 hands We put their
product on the free list We were told on all
sides in Elizabeth that were inviting calamity
and were inviting our own defeat to advocate put
ting sewing machines the free list but what
has been the result? 1t has been the annual GUS
tom, at this time of the year, of the Singer Sew
ing Machine Co, during every year that | have
had any knowledge of it-and they have been
there twenty years or more to close down for
one month as they said, for repairs and for other
purposes. Within the past two or three days |
learn from the Elizabeth Journal, the property
and voice in days past of the distinguished and
honorable John Kean, my predecessor, a protec-
ZIONIST and Republican, that the situation has
entirely changed and instead of closing down
the plant for four weeks this year they notified
their worI1nen Monday last that such
shutdown would take place; that week would
be as long as they could afford to have the plant
idle this year that they had sold out their stock
of sewing machines, and that their orders were
such as to keep the Singer Sewing Machine plant
busy and hunr1ing for the rest of the yearly
Senator Jas. E. MARITIME, of New Jersey.

A BAD BILL INITIATED.

BY some hook or crook, we find
that the bill appropriating some seven
ty-five thousand dollars of the states
money, to be thrown away at the San
Diego and San Francisco eXpositions,
has been initiated and will appear
on the ballot at the coming election.
This is bad bill and should be over
whelmingly defeated by the voters of
the state. At the present time it
is costing some two million dollars a
year to pay the expenses of our state
government. Arizona, in proportion
to population, is the most extensively
governed commonwealth in the entire
civilized world, yet we find a few
men, with unmitigated gall, asking
our people to shower close to a.
hundred thousand dollars upon the
San Francisco exposition and the San
Diego side show-Dunbar's Weekly.

COME COME TO RoosT

1t is a remarkable spectacle to find
Charles H. Meyer, head of the Yves
tern Federation of Miners, appealing
to the governor of the state of Mon
tana for the aid and support of the
military forces of that state in bring
ing about peace and order in Butte.
1t is not remarkable that the head
of the state government should be
called upon, for that is his business,
to preserve order and to quell domes-
tic violence; but that request should
come from Meyer, who has in times
gone damned the militia up hill and
down dale, is nothing short of re-
markable.
When the same forces of dynamite
and destruction which Meyer has so
often used in the past in Colorado,
Idaho and elsewhere, have now been
turned against himself and the orga-
nization which he heads, he promptly
demands what other citizens and
property owners have demanded in
the past, towit, that the state call
upon it's military forces to suppress
riot and insurrection, says a Color
ado Exchange.

stitution and laws governing the qualifications of
electors. OF this four thousand, twenty-five per
cent at least, or 1000, are employees with fam
lies. The father husband might be able
financially, to journey to some other state where
he would not be deprived of earning livelihood
or return to his native country, but he would be
compelled to leave his family behind.
WHO is GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
THESE FAMILIES IN DISTRESS?
Mister Bert Davis fails to inform this
important phase of the question.
THE EIGHTY PERCENT LAW WILL
CREATE AN ARMY OF UNEMPLOYED,
DEPENDENT PAUPERS.
This army of unemployed in this district,
and in other districts in Arizona cannot be forc-
bly, deported from Arizona. We know of no law
deporting law-abiding and peaceable citizens who
have committed no crime.
VIII the people of Arizona become party
to this outrage?
Are you going to join hands with Bert Davis
and his ilk to deprive peaceable law-abidng
working man, of any nationality, the right to
earn his daily bread for himself and his family?
1t is time for the courageous men and wo-
men who helped make Arizona what it is today
to step forward in a solid front against the
of Bert Davis and his followers.
Whether this proposed monstrosity is con-
stitutional or not, the good citizens of Arizona
must protect the honor of the state and let it be
published broadcast that the soca1istc element of
the Federation of Arizona is not in control

LIVE STOCK ON THE RANGES.

The forest service makes the statement that
at least one-twentieth of the stock bred on the
open ranges of the west dies before it reaches
market age. The waste in western live stock
bred on the open range is said to add millions of
dollars to the peoples meat bills, and gives one
more cause for the high cost of living. Exposure
is the principal assigned for the large death
rate among stock 1t is quite interesting to note
that the development of the west has not materially
reduced the number of animals which prey upon
domestic live stock, and the forest service esti-
mates that several million dollars worth of stock
is killed annually by wild beasts. However, dur
ing the past eight years forest officers have killed
over $4,000 predatory animals, consisting OF coy
otes wolves, bears, mountain lion, wild cats, etc.
Another phaze of forestry is contained IN COM
nunication from an Arizona Indian Chief, read in
the Senate few days ago, in which the claim was
made that the national forests were already over
crowded with stock. The Indian further went on
to say that his people could not compete with the
white man as stock-rasers, and made plea for
money appropriations instead of continued allot-
ments of live stock.

Evidences of popular approval of
President Wilson's decision to COM
Iete trust legislation at the present
session of Congress are fast accumu-
lating 1t is clear. that a majority
of the thinking business men of the
country favor this course. Senators
and congressman who have returned
to Washington recently after visiting
their districts agree that general pub
lie sentiment is supporting the Pres1-
dents firm stand in the matter. Fears
of serious business effects have been
in large measure, allayed, for several
reasons. The early harvests have
been excellent, and the prospects for
the later crops are of the best; the
industrial and commercial outlook is
fast improving. Business cannot
build on solid ground until the trust
issue is disposed Of.

MURDER ON THE INCREASE.

r. B. Simms has been superintend-
ent of the prison for little over two
years, and in that time thirteen men
have been sentenced to pay the death
penalty. These figures indicate that
there has been a wholesale increase
of murder in Arizona in the last two
years And it is not difficult to trace
the reason. Men can kill and murder
without fear of the law.
The statutes of the state have been
set aside to satisfy a personal whim
of the governor, with the result that
the slayer goes unpublished and muir
der is greatly on the increase. Five
more men have been convicted of
murder in the past two years than
were convicted in the five years pre-
ceding. This speaks for itself .-Dun-
bars Weekly.

FAILURE OF FUSION.

There was never a possibility that
an arrangement could be made by the
Republicans in their Prescott confer
ence with the progressives for COM
,bination of effort in the coming cam
paign. Though, perhaps, there were
some members of the progressive
party who felt that an alliance on
some terms with the republicans Of
fered a prospect of securing for Ari-
IONA a better government, it was
plain that the great mass of the
progressive party in this state was
opposed to any alliance and that
no ama1gamation agreement would be
regarded as binding upon the party

We find that the expense of operat-

around the state has an ounted to over
four thousand dollars since the pres

averages close to $3.50 per month.
