Would Do, Away with Senate

The State Fedora tion of Labor has fle1 petitions with the Secre- tary of State, asking that an initia- tive measure which would do away with the state senate,s be presented to the voters next November, The federation would leave the house of representatives as now constituted and let them be the sole governing body of the state. And why not?
 What use is there in having two houses in state legislature? Some times the house of representatives passes laws that the people want only to have them killed in the senate and other times the senate originates and the house kills equal ly good measures. With one house legislature the people would be surer of getting what they want and at the same time there would be great saving of expense and foolish deadlocks between the two houses. '

Much Credit Due Gov. Hunt

Much credit is due Governor Hunt for the Peaceful settlement of the Clifton Morenci strike. Such riots as that at Yorktown awaken ed to fuller realization of the ser vice that Governor Hunt has done for Arizona in so carefully preserv- ing the peace during a strike.
 The success of Governor Hunt is mainly due to the fact that the miners felt assured that under such governor they would be given a fair deal. They knew that their rights, including the right to organ ize, would be carefully safeguarded, as indeed they were. Had there been a man in the governors s chair, who radically favored the mine owners, as has been the case in so many other states, the peace full strike and settlement just se- cured would not have. been possi- ble. The mine owners may be able to buy the daily press of the state. but they cannot buy Cover nor Hunt. -..-,;.

 c. O. Keiser, of Canyon, Texas, in the Panhandle district, has fully dem pnsTated the truth of the contention of the superiority of the southwest over the older sections of the United States. Last week, with eight car loads Of two and three year old Here ford steers he topped the Kansas City market at $9.25 per hundred with
 steers that averaged 1914 and 1858. Other lots averaging 1850 sold at $9.15 and 14O5 at $910. The cattle were fed on kaf1r corn and sorghum silage, groubd kafir corn and milo maize, and kafir fodder, all products of the south- west, They were son full feed only 90 days. The price, paid for the cat

Pity the Girls

The owners of Sears Roebuck and Co.,, when on thes stand testi- flying during the investigation into the working conditions of. girls in { Chicago 8 few years ago, admitted that four dollarsa week would be about an ave, age wage for girls in their employ. The showing made by Montgomery Ward & Go. was a little better. How would you like to have. girl of yours forced to live on four dollars a week? Did you ever think that whenever any one in Williams sends an order to Sears Roebuek or Montgomery Ward, or any other mail order house, that person becomes an ac- complice in the mistreatment of these girls? It's a fact. Such companies exist by methods which, II generally known, would serious ly injure their business. One of the worst of these is that of holding their girl employees down to starv- ation wages. The way for the pub- lie to register their kick is by re- fusing to trade with them.
 
 Trade with your home merch- ants, instead. There is not a girl employed in Williams who does not receive twice as much as the average wage confessed by Sears Roebuck and many of them receive three and four times as much. This is as you want it to be and that IS one of the big reasons why you should trade at home.

broke the worlds record for range cat tie on the Kansas City market. A few weeks ago he sold 100 three year old range COWS to Plainview, Texas, breeder at $125.OO per head, which was a new record for the southwest. His herd of registered Herefords has won many blue ribbons in the show rings of the central states.
 During the past year he has sold many car loads of young bulls to the big ranchers of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, who realize that the world is looking to the southwest for it's beef supply and who are grading up and increasing the feeding adapta- bility of their herds by the use ot high class bulls. 1
 The Great Southwest will soon not only be the greatest breeding section of these United States, but will alse be classed as the greatest feeding ter ritory. essy Is> >$aN

agree with the report of the State Tax Commission, recently given out. This Gazette report places the per capita tax for Arizona, far above that of Washington, Oregon, and Wyoming, while the report sof the Tax Commission places the per capita Tax in these, States consider ably above that of Arizona. Either the Tax Commission is wrong or else the. Gazette is engaging in a a campaign of lies in their frenzied attempt, to prejudice the public against the Hunt administration Let's have the facts with the proofs behind them. Until the Gazette can prove, it's contentious we are inclined to credit the Tax ACommission with knowing more 'about taxation than the Gazette does.
 slne Gazstte places the per capita tax of Arizona at $f1.7e.. The Tax Commission places it at s22.5S. The Gazette gives the per capita tax of Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, respectively, as $4 50, $3.23, and $S.1O. The Tax Commission gives $29.SO. $3O.65, and s26.9O as the per capita tax in the same states. Who's wrong. Somebody owes the people an apology.
 Incidentally, do not fail to read the remainder of the Tax Commiss- ions report, continued from a former issue of the news, which ap- pears on the first page this week.

Proud of Our Streets

The people of Williams have become so accustomed to good streets and cleared walks that they take them as a matter of course. It is only when one vis- its neighbor town and sees the poorly drained streets and the snow clogged streets, that he is able to fully appreciate his home town. Much credit is due the present town administration, to- gether with the street supervisor and the street force.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by infiamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condi- tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free.

Fortunate America

Amer1ca IS 1OrJundCe, lnueeu, in having such an even minded and tac seeing president as Woodrow Wilson in the presiden- tial clair at the present time. It IS appalling to think what might have happened had Theodore. Roosevelt been president during the last few years. Beyond. a doubt we would now be involved m the E ropean war, and at the same time we would be at some stage in tneqwork of subjugating Mexlco What other nations might have joined in the Euro, pean struggle as a result of Americass participation, and what attitude the South Ameri- can republics would have assum- ed can only be conjectured. This much would be certain, however; hundreds of thousands of brave American boys needed to run our industries and to develop our land at home, would now be dead upon the battle field, we would be burdened by a great war deb+, and our friendly re- lations with the nations of South America would be severed.
 And what would have been gained? England would have been relieved of part of the bur den she has had to bear and would be the better able to ex- ercises Lei> tyranny of the sea. Germany and her allies would be never-forgetting enemies of the United States. and our nation would ihenceforth be ! forced to bear the burden of excessive armament that has impoverished the people of Europe. The dawn of world peace would be. pushed to a yet more remote future. With Mexico subjugated, we would have the power to annex that country, but in so doing, we would violate the principles upon which our nation is founded.
 Roosevelt saw occasion for intervention as reprisal for the recent murder of Americans at Santa Ysabel by Mexican Bandits. Already, Carranza soldiers have killed a number of the guilty desperados. The war on the bandit bands continues but wise Americans will keep out of Mex ico for some time yet.
 Only when peace is again es- tablished in Mexico, and after the struggle in Europe is ended, will the American people come to full realization of the value of the service performed by Presi- dent Wilson for his country-and for the world. Driven from war ravaged Europe, the dream of world peace still lives in the hearts of patriotic Americans. After the war, the principles, adherence to which has made this land blessed, are bound to grow more rapidly in other na- tions. It will be of far greater hoj1or to our nation to have fos- tered the growth of international peace, than to have participated in the slaughter of the masses in Europe, or the crushing of the peons of Mexico.
