An Important Issue

The strike settlement has now be
come one Of the important issues Of
the campaign and it should be thor
oughly and couraReously analyzezd
Mr.. Hughes emphatic statement at
Nashville should be followed up The
theory that some great stroke for la
Dor has been delivered should be chal-
lcnged and exposed. It is a fraud on
all classes, including the wage earners
Of the country who will have TO pay
a good share Of the cost Of the victory
won through pusillanimous and un-
scrupulous politics controlled by and
for very small minority Of well
paid wage earners.
No eight hour work day has been
established.
A large wage increase has been
forced at the expense Of so per cent
Of railroad employees and the general
public.
And this has been accomplished
through the reputation Of the prin-
ciple Of arbitration, the best defense
the wage Garner has, through the dis
crediting Of the presidential office,
whose power has been abused for the
sake Of votes, and through the un-
precedented humiliation Of the con
gress Of the United States.
This is no victory for labor, but
defeat; and that fact should be driven
home in this campaign.
The nation is shamed today in its
own eyes and in the eyes Of the world
because of the part played by COW
ardly and selfish politics in a great
national crisis. The eight hour work
day principle has not been enacted or
established. But the arbitration prin-
ciple has been discredited and the
highest legislative body Of the land
betrayed into the most humiliating act
of its existence.
This is a victory that the American
people cannot afford and will depud-
late. 1t is not progress, but descent
into demogoguery and the rule of
force.

should deceive no one. The European
war, which is the sole cause Of that
prosperity, is approaching its end.
When it is concluded the abnormal
demand for American products will
cease, not instantly but rapidly. The
nations engaged in the great conflict
will at once begin to concentrate all
their powers upon rehabilitation. They
will endeavor to the utmost to supply
their own needs, to restore their
commerce, and to pay the enormous
Indebtedness they have incurred. To
this end, or these ends, they will buy
as little as possible and sell as much
as they can. 1t is supreme folly to
imagine that they will or can do any
thing else. The notion that their
necessities will compel them to CON
tinue to buy prodigiously from us is
founded upon a vain hope. Such neces-
sites, if they exist, will be but tenn
porary. They would not go on pour
ing out money to US if they could,
and they could not if they would.
On the contrary, their policy will b.
one Of rigid economy and of pushing
sales to the utmost without. The cap
ture Of the greatest cash market in
the world will be their special aim.
Nowhere else than here can the gold
they will so badly need be acquired
with facility. That theUnited States
will be the dumping ground for the
surplus products of all the fighting
nations cannot be reasonably ques-
toned. The reelection Of Woodrow
with the bars down, four more years
with the gates open for the entry Of
European cheap labor products in
competition with ours. Who can imag-
inc a continuation Of prosperity under
| such conditions? Gold would pour
out Of this country in a continuous
stream. Factories throughout the land
would close down, unable TO compete
with the foreign manufacturers. La
Dor would be thrown out of employ
ment; prices Of farm products would
go down to Improbable figures, and
business of all kinds would suffer 70
the extreme. The only possible pre-
ventive of such a calamitous consuma-
tion is a tariff that will protect US
from the flood Of Europe, and the only
way to establish such protection is by
the restoration Of a republican gov
ernment which makes protection its
fundamental principle Globe Demo-
crat.

DOES THE CONSUMER PAY?
If So. Why are Foreigners So Eager
to Break Down Our Tariff?

When the administration through
its Secretary Of Commerce proposed
to enact anti-dumping legislation, it
admitted the failure Of the Under
wood tariff. If free-trade is a good
thing. anti-dumping Legislation is un-
necessary. The purpose Of anti
dumping Legislation is protection. 1t
is the democratic idea Of protection,
but under another name.
As near as we can understand the
anti-dumping idea, it is to prohibit
foreign manufacturers from selling
their products here at such a price
that the domestic manufacturers can
not compete with them. In other
words it proposes to compel the for
eign manufacturer to take more for
his products than he is willing 10 sell
them for.
This is good thing for the foreign
manufacturer but highly poor for the
American consumer. Besides, the gov
ernment gets nothing Under the pro-
tective tariff idea, the foreign manu-
facturer has to add to his price the
difference between the cost Of manu-
facturer abroad and the cost here.
This difference goes to the govern
ment, and helps pay running expenses.
The democratic idea is to give the
foreign manufacturer the difference
in cost and the domestic consumer is
not allowed to buy any cheaper thun
he does under protective tariff,
while the government gets nothing.
1t has been maintained many tinics
by the democratic party that the do
nestle consumer pays the tariff and
that if the tariff is taken of'. the
consumer saves by just so much, This
was exploded in the few months Of
1914 when the Underwood tariff vas
in free operation, but what can be
said of anti-dumping Legislation which
proposes TO hand the difference to the
foreign manufacturer without any
compensation to the government?
If the consumer pays the tariff, VIII.
does not the anti-dumping Legislation
hit him just as hard
Those who have an idea that the
consumer pays the import tax known
as the tariff should have read the
report Of the recent trial in Me-
York City printed in these colunns
some weeks ago.
In brief it was to the effect tina.
the Italian Fruit Importers Union and
two Sicilian fruit growing societies
raised $4,000 to reduce the duty On
lemons in the Underwood law from
SIPS to 85 cents a box. The import
ters raised SlO5,OOO and the Sicilian
societies S35,00O.
They did it by organizing the Ital-
ian-born voters or their descendants
for Woodrow Wilson, and when he
was elected with a democratic cor
gress, the goods were delivered to
them.
If the consumer pays the tav. why
was it worth $4,000 to the Siciiian
fruit growers to have the tax reduced
So cents per box?

Eight Millions a Day

When the democratic congress ad-
journed it counted a session Of 245
days, including Sundays and holidays.
There have been longer sessions.
When an account Of stock was tax
en- it was found that the total Of ap-
preparations, fully made or authoriz-
ed, was close to two billion dollars.
There never was a congress that ap-
preached this figure.
For every day Of the session and all,
the average Of money voted away was
more than eight million dollars
"He kept us out Of war" yet the
amount Of money which he permitted
a recklessly extravagane congress 20
take away from the taxpayers-mu much
of it for unnecessary expenditures
and much Of it for expenditures plain
ly political in their purpose-will
compare not at all unfavorably with
the sums which are being expended by
some Of the European nations which
are battling so desperately.
A peace President, with war ex-
penditures and war taxes" is an
anomaly. So, too, is a democratic
President in this land. We shall re-
turn to normal conditions after the
fourth of next March.
To meet this expense new and bur
densome taxes have been levied and a
bond issue has been re5orted TO. In
the midst Of the riot of extravaganza
juggled treasury statement was
thrust into the country's face in an
endeavor 10 hide the desperate con-
dition to which democratic manage
ment had brought the nations finance.
But now the facts are out.

strated its folly and weakness at the
expense of the taxpayers. Eight mil

WITNESS STICKS BY TESTIMONY IN
 TRIAL OF CONSUL
CBy Review Leased Wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Louis j.. Smith, the governments chief wit ness, stuck to his testimony in face of persistent cross examination by the defense in the trial of Franz Bopp, German consul general in San Francisco, and six others for alleged conspiracies to violate United States neutrality by blowing up munitions ships intended for the entente allies.
 Smith, one of the seven under in- dictment, was forced by Theodore Roche of counsel for the defense. to admit that he had been promised i'm munity from punishment in return for his testimony at this trial. He also admitted that following the alleged receipt of sl,254.S0 from the German consulate funds here in July, 1915, he had journeyed from San Francisco to Oskoch. Wis, accompanied by wom- an not his wife. The court, however. sustained objections preventing the defense from further questioning Smith concerning the latter incident.
 Efforts to prove Smith a deserter from the First Maryland Volunteers, with whom he enlisted at the out break of the Spanish War. failed. Throughout the day Roche attempted unsuccessfully to draw from Smith an admission that the British consul officers here anh in Detroit. Michigan had befriended him in returu for his testimony against Bopp. vice cousul E. H. von Schack, Lieutenant C. w. von Brincken, the alleged go-between C. C..

CAMPAIGN TO START
 AGAINST RODENTS IN
 THE SULPHUR SPRINGS
Expert from United States Bi- ological Survey to Aid Far mers in Killing Praire Dogs, Rabbits and Gophers.

There are over 200 sections of land in the Sulphur Springs valley infested with prairie dogs. These pests are now doing an annual damage of more than s100,000. They also increase very rapidly. They can be extermin- ated for not more than five cents per acre on infested land.
 Rabbits have destroyed winter grain crops, bean crops, fruit trees, etc, and in some localities have caused the farmers to become discouraged in win ter grain growing. Gophers are be coming pest. These pests can be cheaply combatted, but it takes com munity cooperative efforts to get best results.
 A.. L. Paschall, county agricultural agent, has planned campaign against these pests, to be carried out during the winter and early spring. Duane Stonier, an expert in this line, from the U. S. Biological Survey, will assist in the work and will devote his entire time from now until spring to assist ing all interested parties with exter- minating prairie dogs, rabbits and gophers. Individuals will be assisted whenever possible, but the main work will have to be carried on through de- monstration meetings, group meetings, at which the mixing and applying of poison bait, treating trees, etc, will be done. These meetings will be arranged in the different communities where the pests are found. All who are in- terested please keep a close lookout and also inquire about when the meet ing will be held in their respective districts. The preference for 'the meetings will be given to those com munities who show the: most interest and make requests. Individuals will also be assisted as much as possible. Communicate with A L.

WILCUS RETURNS ARE LOCATED; MEANS NINE
 MORE VOTES FOR TOM
Package Containing Missing Precincts Votes Was Mis- placed at Time of Count Found by Treasurer.

TOMBSTONE, Dec. 14.-(SpeciaD- The lost is found and Tom Campbell undoubtedly, will be given a credit of nine more votes in the official re- count. Wilgus precinct, which was missed at the time the supervisors made their canvass of the election re- turns. was found among the unused tickets returned from the various pre- cincts yesterday by Treasurer Harry Ross, who has been odered to bring the ballots to Phoenix for the recount
 From all appearances it would seem that when the ballots were being transferred from the treasurer's office to that of the supervisors for the count that the Wilgus precinct re- turns, wrapped up in due form and condition, had been placed among the ballots not used. These ballots and other papers were placed in the vault and only came to light yesterday when the treasurer was making preparations to remove all the votes to Phoenix.
 Treasurer Ross did not open the ballots of the Wilgus precinct yester- day but will allow them to remain sealed, to be opened by the inspectors at Phoenix. In case the votes are ac- cepted it will mean. an increase of nine for the Republican candidate. What attitude the court will take upon counting the Wilgus precinct it not known but it is thought, that under the circumstances, it will be counted. TEN INCHES OF SNOW

fever-all diseases which, if controll-
ed, would enormously reduce the re-
sulting heart disease and the conse-
Quent mortality.
The next most prolific cause OF
death was tuberculosis, regarded al
most entirely preventable, by fresh air
and improvement In housing and
working conditions, reduction OF oc-
cupational hazards, pasteurizati0n of
milk, etc. As It is: $4,000 died of
this disease in 1914.
Pneumonia claimed 10000 victims.
while not half that many need have
died, according to authorities.
Nephritis or kidney disease, killed
101, 900 in 1914, and acute nephritis
is regarded largely preventable. Can
Ger claimed $4,000; 1t is regarded pre-
ventable by operation in the early
stages.
Diarrhoea and enteritis Of infants,
under two years, claimed $1,000 little
