he is now running three strings OF

to 20 years old and has been in the

been very long since he was running
from five to six strings of tools in
this field. 1t is said by oil men that
the son has asked the father TO give

payment of which will serve to hole
the family together. The payments tt
be made are $40 month to the
lmother and $40 a month to the first

This law will not mean the abandon

Item of home care for such children,
Many states are abandoning the whole
system OF asylums for dependent
children and are giving these over te
real or foster mothers for character
of guardianship that may not be had
in institutions.
Twenty-three states now have
mother pension laws. In most of the
states that have them they have work
ed well. To be sure, there have been
arguments and theorizing without end
having this pensioning of poor mothers
as the subject. 1t has been asserted
by some Legislators that the move
|ment is calculated to increase poverty
rather than to remedy it that 1t is the
entering wedge for bills to pension old
people, women who have lost their
husbands and every one else who has
not an adequate income. But that is
not argument 1t may be considered
mere assertion.
On the other hand. there are legisla-
tors who urge that whatever is good
for widowed mother with hungry
children is good for society at large.
These assert that a child is better off
in it's mothers care. even if 1t be an
inefficient mother, than it could be
under the averaging influences of an
institution; that the cost can not be
balanced against the benefit to-
society in having its children better
cared for. nAl y
That this is legislation that might
lead toward almost any sort Of social
is obvious. But nobody
can prove that this will actually hap
pen, because states are passing laws
that enable widowed mothers to keep
their little children together by hand
ing them pittance out of the tax
funds. Neither can It be proved that

 The land is divided into small hold ings of from twenty to sixty acres and is highly improved.
 THE TAXES ON THIS LAND FOR THE CURRENT YEAR AMOUNT to $23S.92.
 B. A. Fowler owns 4S0 acres of land between Phoenix and Glendale also within reach of an interurban car line and of a railroad-a tract in every way comparable with the Texas lands mentioned. On this land the state and county tax exclusive of school and other special assessments and exclus- i've also of water rentals, amounts to practically $500, to be exact, to S591.- 36. If he owned 667 acres of similar land the amount owned by the com pany referred to, his tax would be all most $750.

 These figures represent approximat- ely one-third of the military force of the state and if the entire National Guard is ordered out as now seems probable the expense must be multi. piled by three.
 And the end is not in sight.
 Urged by his inclinations to be good fellow at the expense of the taxpayers and his desire to truckle to his arch-supporters and bosom friends, the agitators who head the Western Federation, the governor is

 Regimental non-commissioned off cers get $2.50 per day,
 Battalion on-commissioned officers get $2 per day, Corporals get $1.75.
 Privates get $1.50 and more If they have been enlisted for three years.
 This makes tidy pay roll of close to $500 per day for privates and non com's. Add another hundred for the officers exclusive of the adjutant gen eral. Add $500 for board and lodging. Figure in the wear and tear of tents, uniforms, bedding and other equip ment. Then add 300 times the rail road fare from the various points to

to play baseball around the court house plaza and to have an outing at the expense of the taxpayers, another exhibition of the supreme assininity that is making the state ridiculous.
 If the Clifton camp is peaceful, it needs no more soldiers. If soldiers ARE needed there then conditions are not as the governor would have the people believe.
 LET US HAVE THE TRUTH!
 The taxpayers of Arizona are grooming under the burden of exces- sive and unnecessary imposts piled upon them by. recklessly extrava- gant state administration.
 For the support of commissions, secretaries, armies of employees whose chief function is to sign the pay rolls, automobiles, junkets about the state on official business CD and all the other trimmings of the Hunt dictator ship they are paying, and paying, as the old expression has it, through the nose"
 Here is comparison that may well make the people of Maricopa county and of the state at large wonder whither they are drifting.
 A local company owns 667 acres of land in Texas which lies twenty-four

now considering the idea of feeding at the state expense 15,000 strikers and their families!
 To feed 15,000 at only two-bits per day will cost the taxpayers the mere bagatelle of $3750 for every day in every week!
 The latest move of the state admin istration in the matter of the Clifton strike troubles is the sending of an additional 100 men of the National Guard to the scene.
 WHY?
 The reports from Clifton insist that everything is quiet and orderly. According to the governor and the governors friends, the heads of the Western Federation, and according to the governors papers, everything at Clifton is as quiet and peaceable as a litter of pups in basket.
 Why then this invasion of peace able community by another detach- ment of military?
 Arizona is paying dearly enough for the strike at Clifton without any add ed burdens.
 Another 100 railroad fares, another 100 men to pay and feed, another armful of officers to be alimented and otherwise sustained, another 100 men
The Coconino sun., 1915-10-29

The Clifton strike is costing the taxpayers of the state of Arizona more than 5000 per day for military expenses only--more than enough to provide sustenance for the state leg islature, more than enough to build a lot of good road, more than enough to build rural school house!
 There are, or will be by Wednesday morning, 300 officers and men of the National Guard under arms at Clifton. The adjutant general gets the same pay as a captain in the regular army and, in addition, all his expenses on his junkets to and from Phoenix to Fl Paso and Clifton.

 We regret that, on the contrary, you have forced upon us the conclu sion that you are unwilling to make the essential concession which would result in peace
 We have seen conditions much worse instead of better. We have seen the state militia set idly by whilst men upon peaceful errands have been driven out of town. Our trusted employees have been escorted from the district by deputy sheriffs who claim they are powerless to a!- ford protection. We have seen the Western Federation of Miners main tain the shutdown ordered by their leaders, preventing any resumption of work except upon conditions which they dictate.
 So long as this state of affairs pre- vails, discussion involving the various demands must necessarily be discon- tinued.

 We restate the position taken by us at the previous conference and which position we intend to maintain: First: That under no condition will we consent to be dominated Uy the Western Federation of Miners under whatever name or title 1t may as. sume
 Second: When the employees have returned to work on the same con- ditions as existed prior to the strike and normal conditions have been re- stored, the companies will be glad to discuss with the'r employees, as they have always been willing to do. any grievances or other questions which the employees wish to take up with the managers

nth unyarying persistence, ihs
 gstructive influence of the Western federation of Miners has attended each development in the situation which the Federation igitators forced upon the community that is now stricken. It has not been possible until the present time, when the der tails of this amazing conspiracy against industrial peace in Arszona have at last been laid bare. to acquaint the public with a complete record of the case.
 The recently concluded conferences between the mine managers and strik- CTS committee supplied the final links of evidence which prove that the Western Federation's sole object was to force It's organization upon em- ployees, mine managers and the state of Arizona. At these conferences, the Federation's demands invariably were woven into the issues o such an exteAt that the mine managers were powerless to act in the interests of their old employees.
