The Labor Vote

There is an impression rather assumption that the labor in going to be solid at she primary and the general election From such information is ohtainable we do not think that the members of the labor unions are going to be herded We believe that the vote of mine workers will be pretty solldly and that perhaps large part tie strength of other labor unions will go with t But certain that it will be opposed at the primaries by another labor union vote.
 The most Illuminating information of the divided attitude of labor from Pima county where the sreat bulk Of the vote is by Tucson Tucson is the most thoroughly organized town in the state with the exception of the smaller town of Miami Every trade at Tucson is organized. Most of the union men there belong to the railway organization which, by the next to the miners organization. embraces tne largest membership in the state
 Carefully prepared poll lists in which nothing has been guessed at show that the railway workers are pretty evenly divided between the republican and the oenocratc parties and that nearly all the republican members have registered as such, so that they are harred from taking part in the democratic primaries We are speaking now of the railway organization members.
 A majority though by all of the mem hers of other organized trades are democrats or at least have been registered democrats but large number have declared their republican affiation So - s apparent that 1T the whip has been cracked over ac heads of the organized laborers of Tucson they have not needed it.
 The pen lists of Pima county show that about asa republicans have registered democrats but rhese persons for the most part not members of ony union. They business men. cattemen mining uen. etc., employers generally of labor Practically eter republican registered has been interviewed tn the reason for his change of politics almost every case the reply has that the change was nay apparent and not real The voters for one req s'r 'r aaother wanted to qualify part in the democsatic primary. Nearly all of them have said that they expected the republican ticket in November. in whole in part.
 In spite of this of registration the repub- icins oi Pima county have good lead the demo- cats in the registration. In some of the outside pre- c.ncts t was shown that those which had always or for years been democratic were now republican

KEEP WORK FOR HARD TIMES

We having boom times today, and almost anyone can find job But in 1917, or 1918 or 1920 1925. later, shall have again one of recurring industrial depressons. with soup ktch- ems and wood yards and inevitable unemployment commissions which will investigate and gravely re- that the time to prevent unemployment is years before the unemployment comes. Then all will De forgotten and nothing will be done.
 In the handling of this problem are not un- roof long 1t raned and would mend it in dry weather because to do was longer necessary. Each unemployment commission advises that public expenditures be stabilized. Roads canals and other public improvements should be constructed in bad times when there is little demand for labor, instead of in good times when there is plenty of employment But it is exactly in hard times that money for public Improvements is almost impossible to obtain. It is today when employment is steady that govern ments and corporations should aside sums Of money to be expended-not immediately when wages high and materials expensive, but the first approach of industrial crisis
 Such proposal is worked out in some detail by William Hard in Everybodys Magazine in plan which provides that the federal government aside annual sum flor irrigation, drainage and other inn provemens, but expend only part of the each year, leaving the say 10 cent to be used whenever the president shall decide. In the mean while all preparations be made that the working force can be immediately increased upon the first sign of industrial depression. The New Republic.

While it is doubtful if the project could have been macs 70 pay either the owner or the city, as pleasure resort, yet Mesa folks feel somewhat of regret at the taking away of the splendid tree growth with its possibilities for place of resort
