Then l saw for myself It was not

Now that the labor cause has

Unless the majority of the thinking voters of
 Arizona arouse themselves, march to the polls on November ard and vote NO on the initiative measures which appear on the blanket ballot the
 state will find itself emeshed in tangle of i-advs- ed, halfbaked. inconsistent legislation which will retard the growth, prosperity and welfare of our people for years to come, not to mention the
 enormous extra to the taxpayers of the
 Arizona is fast treading in the footsteps of Ore
 gon which commonwealth is staggering under a
 load of foolish and expensive initiated legislation With the possible two exceptions, every
 proposition appearing on the November ballot, to
 be passed upon by the sixty thousand voters of the state should first be presented the legislature where the proposed measure could receive that careful analysis and deberation which will be en- tirely lacking at the polls on November B. hi tiated legislation is usually legislation by small minority of the voters, in their own special inter- est, account of the apathy of majority of the voters who go to the polls on election day. These laws usually proposed by clique, corpora, tons, organizations and there is an entire ab- of proposed legislation for the benefit of the people Of tl:e entire state. The cost of carrying into effect these half-baked measures is the last thing considered for the that they are usu- ally proposed by men who pay taxes and who are inspired by the wish and belief that the day is not for distant when capital will be driven from the and Socialism, in it's rankest form reign supreme.

THINK BEFORE VOTING.

Good intentions afford no excuse for the care lessness apparent in the preparation of several ot the initiated measures upon which voters will be asked to pass judgment at the forthcoming cleo ton. Enough thought was not given to the dlsas- trous effects which would attend literal nterpree tation of the measure This is especially true of the So per cent law. None of the initiated bills, the Arizona Gazette truly says is more deserving of careful consideration than the one requiring that all employees of five more work people, male or female, employ 80 percent of qualified electors or native born citizens of the United States or some subdivision thereof.
 This act was drawn, everyone knows to prevent the employment of Mexican and other for eien labor by the large mining and smeltlng cor porations Its advocates, proceeding upon the theory that the class of labor heretofore employed bv these corporations was not of the kind that we usually associate with the term American work inemen It was claimed in the first place that such miners and snetermen, from their inability to speak or understand English, were menace to other workers and in the place that they were subject to unfair exactions and would work for lower wages than would free American aborers.
 Mining at best is risky; fraught with all sorts of loss and uncertainty, and therefore should be encouraged by every fair means and should not be subjected to class legislation, which IS bound to curtal development of these industries.
 Under conditions existing in the cultivated valleys of the state and on the cattle ranges the act cannot be made to work, and any attempt to enforce would lead to great distress and loss of the farrlere and cattlemen. It IS notorious that agricultural labor Is scarce in Arizona and when the cotton and fruit crops are ready for harvest it is necessary to employ whatever labor can be had Ranch and range work in Arizona is largely done by non-naturalized foreigners of all races and to say that the man with several hundred acres of cotton or great fruit orchard must let his crop spoil unless he So per centof naturalized citizens to harvest them is grossly unjust
 The entire measure appears nl-advised. Its enforcement would work uncomfortable hardships on the agricultural community and in fact on all employers of labor. It should be voted downs

FRUITS OF DEMOCRACY.

Today the fruits of President Wilson's admin istraton, not yet year and six months old, are piled high before We were warned that the passage of the tariff act, which was it's first spicuous achievement, would flood American markets with foreign goods, but the import statis- tics of the first nine months of it's operation show that the normal annual increase of import trade has not been equaled under the tariff. We are about to put into operation banking law acclaimed by the financial wisdom of this country and Europe. Our national good faith has been vindicated in the eyes of all the great carrying tons of the world by the repeal of the Canal tolls exemption act. Our relations with South Amerl- ca have been brought to the best condition they have presented since the Mxican War And now, with all Europe ablaze with war, the United States thanks to Woodrow Wilson's good sense, wide syrnpathies, political tact and colossal indifference to detraction and criticism when serving his nation as God has given wisdom to serve, is at peace with all mankind and ready to serve the world with trade and treasure, with food and implements of work, as only mighty nation at peace can serve world broken and distracted and panc-stricken by 
 Some men have to wait until they dead before the quality of their public service appears To Woodrow Wilson's countryn1en has been given the vision Of the value of his work while he IS yet alive We can not heal the grief which Is his DOT tion but in view of the harvest of his labor which is before us, the least that say IS the word ''Well done." We can at least join wishes and our prayers that the sense of work faithfully wrought may nerve his hand and brain for the tasks which still confront him, and that, with all the weight of his personal griefs something of the deep joy of the reaper among the garnered sheaves may be his in these autumn days.

The visit of committee from the Board of Directors of the Arizona Copper Company, Ltd, this time, IS in the of routine duty inn posed upon them once eachy and has no special significance bearing upon the present industrial condition existing in the district. A splendid spirit of cooperation between Company officials citizens, and county and town officials has already been manifested in relieving poverty and distress occasoned by the enforced curtailment of produc- ton of copper in this district and the consequent reduction in the number of employees That situation has been successfully met and relieved. What the future holds in store no man can at this time foretell but the community may rest assured that the at the head of our largest industrial enterprise have the welfare of the inhabitants very much at heart and the to be pursued, in the face of the present period of depression, will be shaped largely by this consideration.

An example was then given which no corporation or interest can afford to disregard. The European spells burdens and losses to our people well fresh opportun- ties.

THE TRUCE PATRIOTISM.

President Wilson's appeal to both sides in the Colorado fuel strike will be unreseryedly endorsed :n1 mentally signed by millions of. thoughtful
 lericans. Many asking themselves, no doubt, why the appeal has been so long in coming The answer probably is that the tentative basis for the adjustment of the strike had to be worked out carefully and that the President has had other important things to keep his mind and pen unusu- ally busy.
 In effect the appeal is for a truce of patriot

It is the concensus of opinion among the tax payers of the state that with several amendments to our laws adopted great saving could be accom- plished in the cost of state and county adminstra- ton. This should be the first order of busi- ness before the next legislature and the State Tax Payers Association, and the several County Tax payers Associations, should be prepared to fur nish. valuable assistance and accurate information toward the end of curtailment in the cost of government.

SMALLPOX CASE
 DEVELOPS HERE

The first case of smallpox occurring at Conway in year was reported yes terday afternoon, when it was an- nounced by the attending physician that Miss Ida Baskin, who lives in the Anderson addition, was i'll with that disease. It is supposed that she con- tracted the illness from her brother, who was exposed to smallpox in Little Rock. The young man was successful ly vaccinated and did not contract the disease himself He came home, how ever, to spend few days while dis abled from the vaccination, and it is thought the germs of the disease were carried in his clothing.
 Dr. George $. Brown, county health officer, notified the State Board of Health as soon as the case was report ed to him, and the Baskin residence is being quarantined. It is thought that there is little danger of a spread of the disease, but the officers declare every precaution will be taken.
