UNIONS GET WORST OF 1T
Labor unions get the worst of it
from newspapers during big strike, !"
said A. o. Wharton, president rail-
road employees department American
Federation of Labor, to the U. S. in
dustrial commission at Hotel Sher-
man.
1.-THE unions can't go into the mar
ket and purchase publicity as the
railways can" he added. I'VE haven't
got the money. And we haven't got
the influence in newspaper Offices.
"Often we give real news to re-
porters. We meet Associated Press
men who are fine fellows personally
and we telrthem what our organiza-
ton is doing, why it's on strike. But
the next day the papers don't have a
word about the matters we consider
most important.
pres. Markham of the Illinois Cen
trail remarked Wednesday that public
opinion and the newspapers were en-
tirely with the railroad throughout
]. c. territory. 1t was not surprising.
Nearly all newspapers in that terri
tory refused to publish our reason
why the strike was called.
81. C. officials refused to meet a
committee from the federated shop
men. That was the chief cause at
issue We couldn't get it printed.
"Pres. Markham was mistaken in
his statement that the grand officers
of the declarations can call strikes.
The men must vote on a strike. In
five of the shipments unions their
law is that two-thirds of the men
must vote for a strike. One other
union requires three-fourths vote.
Then the matter goes to the A F. of
L. with a view to mediation and con-
citation. Only after these steps can
strike be called.
"A1l railway clerks unions have

 The Public Land Question
 The senate and house committees on public lands held joint session yes terday afternoon at which Chairman Riggs of the senate presented an out line of a land policy which. like most of the plans so far suggested. looks to the abolition of the land commission. MT. Riggs believes that if the selection of the lands granted the state under the enabling act is left to the boards of su- pervisors of the various counties the work will be carried forward more eX- peditiously and the lands will bc so

The School Census

On what theory the house decided to retain the school census which is taken annually in this state ,t q cost of about S15ooO are not sure unless if be that the house believes that hundreds o1 men and women need the positions of census marshals Tho State Taxpayers Association had advocated the abolition of the census and urged the daily attend ance of the SC hoos as logical basis for the ap- that can be secured without any cost to the tax uavers and it is the natural and correct one. The school census as taken by the marshal in one dis trict may show a school population of, say, loo, while the daily attendance that district may no. be more than 60. another district of equal pop uation the attendance may for one reason or an ether be 75 In every district there many chil- dren of school age, those who are 15 years or more old who do not go to school long as they are within the school age. It manifestly unfair that d school district 75 pupils in attendance should receive no more money than district whose at tendance iS 20 per cent less.
 This unjust distribution which could he as log school district IS the feature of the present census system ridiculous that the state should pay s15GOO a year to keep it in force.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
An Answer to An Editorial.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Will you please print this little answer to your editorial in the paper of Sunday, January 24. entitled "A Mess Was Made of It." You say your experience with direct legisla- ton has tausht us that men learned m the law have q place in the earthly schemes, men learned in the law have always made the laws but they have never vet made a law that has really benefited the working class. When
 the working class got q chance in
 Al izona 10 make fl law, they passed q law that would do them some good tThc so per cent laW) But ii would
 moi stand in the federal court and you claim that we made botch of it Was it the working class. 1 those who voted for this bill who
 made botch of it or was it the | courts? The working class said by thclr votes, We do not want to come in competition with the cheap i foreign labor" The courts said by its decision, The Working class is
 not fit f6r anything only to meet the | competition of the cheap foreigner" You say that the anti blacklist bill 1 is an interference with the natural rights of citizens If it is a natural right of some citizens to blacklist, l why is it not q natural right for other citizens to boycott? The courts i have decided that blacklisting is Ic-
 gal; the courts have also decided that boycotting is illegal. Note the Dan 1 )ury matters case. Is if the working class or the courts that are making mess of it? The working class knows what a legislature such as i Arizona has, is liable to do. Hence l they wanted to safeguard their legis-
 lation, and a constitutional amend mcnt 10 prevent the legislature from
 interfering with initiative measures that was passed. But, horrors. they
 made the awful mistake of writing
 qualified electors" when they should have written voters" According to
 the Hon. Miles Grogan this may be
 two mighty different things Two
 mighty different things yes. when
 one thing is for the working class i and a corporation press and a cor | roration legislature want to make that thing for the capitalist class.
 Sure. they are two mighty different | things.
 1 There is none more competent to
 make laws for the people than the people themselves. A corporation
 press and a bonehead legislature may be more qualified to make laws in favor of corporations and capitalists.
 but the voter didn't pay much at ] tention to either in this case, they
 voted for what they wanted whether
 they got it or not.
 The decision of the courts and the action of the legislature. and such editorials as the one in question are all to good purpose. They mean a big increase in the Socialist vote, a Ilarger number of agitators for justice and right for the working class They mean that capitalism is going down and that the people as a whole arc going to own the means of control ing their own destines. The writings
 of a corporation press and the doings Iof corporati legislature notwith standing.

A southern boy raised more than 200 bushels of corn on an acre last year. and 493 boys produced average than 100 bushels. In Mssis- sippi club of boys averaged 16 bushels to the while the average of their fathers ordinary farms 16 bushels very poor yield. Perhaps those boys farmers will far surpass their fathers and the generation may make agriculture what it should be in the south. The clubs of boys are certainly doing well.

The Picture Show

Shall the heroes and herones of the motion picture shows curtain calls and make pretty little speeches to the audience? It is quite poss- be. and improbable. Perhaps some enterprise ing manufacturer of films has already introduced the idea. The popular movie actress might be shown lowing her appreciation expressing it iii words, which could be thrown the screen or gwen in her own voice by of the talking at tachment.
 The motion picture hero and heroine as real as the matinee idol and they have democratic following. The picture show patronage is drawn from all classes of the population, and 2 number of persons who especially successful in acting before the have become known from coast to coast. They count their admirers by tens thousands their reward is rot alone in preciation, for many of them paid highly be- of their special ability.
 To make a success in the motion picture houses an actor or actress must be peculiarly gifted r power of facial expression Many of those who have fame before the footghts have had indifferent before the camera, and this explains why some of the persons who act for film producing paid surprisingly large prices port says that actress has been engaged for year at a salary of s104,O00.
 When the motion-pcture houses first opened, good many persons of dignfed port glanced about hurredy. to sec if any of their friends in view, before putting down their nickel for ticket but that feeling has been largely eliminated by the ambition of the picture show people in pro Vding dramas, spectacles and other matter of more worthy sort than was at first presented Those who felt themselves compromised still go at leas. occasionally though perhaps they are accompanied by small son or daughter nephew or niece for the sake of appearance It must be said, however, that many no longer take this precaution
