BITTER FIGHT
Against the Proposed Ruinous
Increase of Freight Rates
on Coal.

z FAIRMoNT, Sept. 15.A spirited
meeting Of the Central West viz.
gina Coal Operators Association
was held shere. Tuesday. The opera
tors of this state are organizing their
Forces to fight the proposed increase
lin the freight rates from West svfrs
ltginia to western markets and to the
lakes.
Az the meeting here committee
was appointed to gather data and in.
formation relative to the proposed
lichange. This information will be
put into proper form and will be the
basis for protest that will be made
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.
The railroads Of West Virginia, IL
Is said, plan tomcrease freight rates
fifteen per cent on west bound coal
shipments from this state. Accord
ing to the reports received here the
Baltimore and Ohio. the Norfolk and
West the Coal and Coke, the Ka-l
nawha and Michigan are the roads
that propose to increase the rates.
The proposed increase would place
q handicap Of forty cents ton on
West Virginia coal, making a differ
entail OF sixty per cent. The opera
tors claim that the burden would be
ruinous to the coal industry in West
Virginia.
Heads Of the railroads interested
in the proposed increase have been
holding series Of meetings in New
York and another conference Isl
scheduled for this week when It Isl
understood, SO far as they can, def
mite action will be taken.
Another matter that the operators
will consider will be the car supply
which is growing more acute each
day. The market conditions were
discussed.

honestly and conscientiously .od il, nc.
cordance with the law and facts in tho
case for which he is being u justly crit
'icised, and that, instead of attempting
to recall and humiliate him. he should
have the undivided support of all right
thinking people in his district. The
Courier holds no brief for Judge Burke.
We have taken occasion to disagree
with his decision in a water suit in
which Larimer county was vitnlly in
terssted. but we never for moment
doubted his integrity or the purity Of
his motives.
The Courier has always opposed and
will continue to oppose the use of the
recall in the case of judges Of the courts
The consideration Of the recall Of indg
es for the exercise Of that honest dis
creticp vested in them by law. has a

PRINTERS TURNED DOWN AGAIN

Ignoring the protests OF print
ers from all parts of the country
contracts aggregating over 49,
600, 900 have been awarded by the
postoffice department at Washing
ton to a Columbus, Ohio, firm
which was especially organized
for that purpose. A minimum OF
5000, 900, 900 envelopes is called
for in the contract, which becomes
effective July I, 1915.
Printers contend that the work
should be distributed instead OF
being given to one concern, there
by restricting the profits to one
man or coterie of men, and have
been working to that end individ.
ually and in state and national or
CARNATIONS.
Our Uncle Samuel through his
different departments is always
considerate enough to send out
free press material concerning
civil service examination, postal
statements and various other Junk
with which the printer can fill his
columns but when he has some
thing substantial to give out, like
this postal contract, it goes to one
firm which works its employees
sweat shop style, long hours at a
starvation wage. Sounds, nice in
the face of all this antitrust and

ARID ARIZONA

There has been a lot of writing
done
Bv men in search of fame, - E
Bout the name of Arizona, -, :;
And how she got her name. ?
One claimed an old-time Iniun
With war paint on his cheeks
Named the country Arizona,
Meaning Land OF Little Greeks.
But another said he id'nt,
And with theory all his own,
Said the name was just mixture
Of the two words arid zone"
And to me it looks quite simple
Since the theory of it all
Was announced by that Professor
Whose name | can't recall
And think that they should grant
All the glory duly earned,
And crown him king of lingos,
The learner of the learned.
For men in every business
Cross our boundaris one by one,
Driven out of Arizona
BY the drouth that's just begun.
The thirsty ones remaining
Sadly dream of days gone by,
And long for just another drink
Oh! Lord-but we are dry.
So since facts support the theory,
contend its plainly shown
That the name of Arizona
Was derived from Arid Zoze."

BUY AT HOME

When you pay $40 to your local
shoe man. he has the money to
pay his clerk, who has the money
to give his wife, who has the money
to give the grocer, who has the
money to pay his landlord, who
then can paw his butcher, who will
pay the editor for his advertising,
who then pays his printers, who
buy more groceries, etc, and
probably paw what they owe YOU,
and ALL have some money to con-
tribute for the church and to the
needy.
But
If you should send that $40 to a
Chicago catalog house, where will
the shoe man get the money to
pay his clerk?
If the circulation of the $40, as
far as Prescott is concerned, is
stopped here, there will be moth
ing for the clerks wife, nor the
grocer, nor his landlord, nor the
butcher, nor the editor, nor his
printers, nor for the man who
owes you money, and would prob
ably have been able to pay you
had YOU dealt at home with people
who owed him money.
And, incidentally, the church
and the needy cannot get any oil
that $40, for it will never again be
available in the home town.
