can manufacturers are today paying
labor S1,OOO,OOO more a day than
they did year ago. On every hand
signs of industrial and labor prosper
ity are apparent" So writes con-
tributor to The Forum. Then the
writer goes on to show the wage in
crease in various industries during
the past year.
It does not follow that because of
wage increases labor has become
prosperous. But many persons have
read that and similar statements so
often that they are beginning to be-
ieve them.
Today labor is creating more
wealth and receiving more wages
than it has ever created or received.
BUT-tOday labor can buy back
LESS of the wealth it produces than
it could ten years ago AT LOWER
WAGES! The purchasing power of
the dollar has decreased even in
greater proportion than the wages
have increased. Why?
Capitalists are not fools. Neither
are they philanthropists. When they
raise the wages they see to it that
the necessities of life are also raised.
Not in proportion to the wage in
crease, but on the contrary, in EX-
CESS of the increase. For them it is
just like taking money out of one
pocket and putting it in the other,
with interest added for the time it
took to transfer the money. And

SANITARY DISTRICT

'TEES.-There are. three officers to
be nominated at the primaries Sept.
13, which under no circumstances
should be given to slate candidates.
1 refer to the three sanitary district
trustees to be nominated. The ma
jority of the trustees who have had
the carrying on of the drainage canal
work have been slate candidates, Ow-
ing their jobs to the bosses who put
them on the slate, and it was to the
bosses interests to keep the job of
sanitary district trustee going as
long as possible, because they want
ed to have them to give out. The re-
suit is that the drainage canal, which
should have been finished years ago,
is still unfinished and is costing hun
dreds of lives of typhoid fever and
millions of dollars each year, because
it is uncompleted.
1t is to the vital interest of the
people that in voting for sanitary
district trustee they forget their fac
ton or boss and vote for publc-spir-
tied men who will push the drainage
canal through to completion and so
stop this frightful loss Of hundreds of
lives and waste of millions of dollars
each year.-CharIes G. Blake.

Germany would remove all financial
limitations in this country on the
allies; the United States would in fact
feed and clothe and arm the allies
for a continuation of the conflict
everything we have would be at the
disposal of the allies.
While these are some Of the phases
of a possible conflict with Germany,
Washington does not believe that a
war will ensue. Meanwhile the Off
Gals in Washington upon whom the
responsibility for the successful issue
of a possible war rests, are quietly
calculating upon what part this gov
eminent might be permitted to have
in the struggle, and our part it seems
in short would be to feed and arm
the hungry soldier and to wait long
time for pay therefor.

but the chances are that it would
not be needed. The blockade is ap-
parently alright now. No German
ships have ventured out of their min
ed harbors for months except on the
furtive mission and the long-looked-
for sea battle between German and
British fleets may never occur. The
overwhelming superiority of the Brit
ish fleet in numbers of ships and ar
mament has probably convinced the
Germans that it would be destructive
to send their men-of-war for a deci-
sive conflict.
What Real Service Would Be
In view of this state of affairs, it
can be concluded that the greatest
assistance which the United States
would be able to render to the Allies
would be in opening the enormous
resources of the country in food and
munitions to the allied forces by
additional financial aid. War with

in the way of legislation for IN extra
session. except the general appro-
priatiOn bill. There is no need Of
special mine tax legislation, the
State Tax commission can take care
of that matter and undoubtedly will,
and the mine tax bill probably pro-
duced more trouble for both houses
of the legislature than any other
matter that was brought up.
The prohibition amendment needed
only such legislation as was necessary
to enforce the law, but several leg
islators seemed to be under the i'm
preston that a new prohibition law
was needed. 1t is doubtful if an
extra session would do anything
more than wrangle over any bill in
troduced to carry out the prohibi-
tion amendment.
If it was not absolutely necessary
to provide funds to carry on the
State institutions by passing the

would be no need for an extra ses-

Madam. if your husband is like
most men he expects you to look
after the health of yourself and
children. Coughs and colds are the
most common of the minor ailments
and are most likely to lead to serious
diseases. A child is much more
likely to contract diphtheria or scar
let fever when it has cold If you
will inquire into the merits of the
various remedies that are recon-
mended for coughs and colds, you
will find that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy stands high in the estima-
tiOn of people who use it. 1t is
prompt and effectual, pleasant and

especially to be desired when a

NEW TELEPHONE LINE

The people of Klondyke and
Bonita have got together on prop
osition to- build a telephone line
from the Gia valley to their section
of the county, in order to have tele-
phone connection with the valley
towns to Bonita, Klondyke, Grand
Reef mine and the different ranches
in and around Aravaipa valley.
Telephone communication is GER
tainIy needed in that section of the
county and the people are deter
mined to go ahead with the prop
ositon to build an independent line
from Aravaipa valley to the Gila
valley and have subscribed 81, l0O
to fund for that purpose.
The line could be built by the
Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Co. and the amount sub.
scribed be turned over to the com
pany to help pay for constructing
the line, which could be carried be-
yond Bonita to Ft. Grant and take
in every ranch in that section.
The chances are that the tele'
phone company will take up the
matter with the people of Bonita
and KlOndyke.

< "up of farmers gaNiZe them

down to minimum it has been pos

tlunS to pay interest on deposits
that is within ! per cent of the in

The committee on communica-
ton and transportation should deal
primarily with the roads and teIe-
phones. The keynote Of the work
should be organized self help, not
appeals to get government help.
Just as the five business commit
tees are to grapple with the funda-
mental problems Of producing and
selling in their various forms, the
five social committees should direct
their efforts to the improvement of
living conditions in the country.
To increase the farmers income is
not the only thing needed to make
rural life what it should be. AS a
matter of fact, says this article, it is
the prosperous farmer who is more
inclined to move to town than his
less fortunate neighbOr. Having
accumulated a competence he wishes
to enjoy it, and there are five prin.
cipal reasons which lead him to be-
licVe that he can do this better in
the city: First, there are better
facilities for educating his children;
second, the sanitary conditions are
frequently much better in towns,
and the time does not seem to be
far distant when the cities will be
actually more healthful than the
country. Again, household con-
venirnccs, such as hot and cold
water, heating end lighting systems,
etc, are more abundant in the
towns and add greatly to the COM
fort of living. Finally, there is
more opportunity for recreation in
the city, and frequently, strange as
it may appear, more to appeal to
the sense of beauty that is inherent
in practically every man.
Cooperation on the part of the
rural communities can do as much
to alter these conditions as it can tC
increase the average cash income
The committees that have these
matters in charge should, therefore,
be regarded as quite as important
as those which deal with business
questions, and they should receive
the same support from the entire
community which they are endeav,
oring to benefit. The result will
be a community spirit which, in its
way, is capable of producing as val,
uahle results as the national spirit
In fact, says the article in closing
"Patriotism, like charity. begins al
home; that is, in the neighborhOod.' y

contains a brief iist of suggested
re !dirg5 fer the various committees
