TRADE IN PRESCOTT.
Arizona republican., 1916-12-02

not with pain that the lapse of half century has failed to assuage;
 Never according to the papers were the chants so we'll stocked with poultry especially with turkeys. One had received less than ton of turkeys, dressed, which came in by boat and an other had brought in from the adjoin- ing l,6oO live turkeys driving them in, apparently with the hope of realizing good profit One turkey of which the editor had personal knowledge weighed twenty pounds live weight, and sold for 20 cents pound. Dressed turkeys sold at from 25 to 2S cents

 In view of conditions the of the late Thanks giving would protest against paying 2s cents a pound for properly dressed turkey, but in 1866 the editor greved aloud and publicly at the rise in prices while furthermore he said bat the dressed" a hollow mockery. He remembered that only few years before thoroughly dressed turkey could be bought at l2l5 cents pound. but in 1866 the crop. if taken is replaced by three gizzards and several feet all for the purpose of increasing the weight of the bird" Just where the gizzards came from he does explain.

Our Rule in San Domingo

We notice that the United States has established military rule in the black republic of San Domingo; that is that it has formally established rule for several months. We have been having more less trouble in San Domingo for the last three years. Many Dominicans have been killed and several American marines.
 If 1t business put that republic into of pacification have discharged miserably not at all. If it business we should have warned American residents, as we did the Amer ican residents of Mexico to get out and then we should have removed our warships and let the Dom- incans settle their perpetual quarrels among them selves.
 One of our excuses for with Spain in Cuba, aside from the episode of the Maine the tnual uproar occasioned by the Cuban revolutions was getting American Whether or not that was a good excuse similar cannot be offered for interference with san Domingo. though such might be offered interference in Mexico San Domingo is far we are not likely to be disturbed by revolutions there.
 If we maintaining hold upon san Domngo for the protection of American there still more should we have been bound to protect American interests in Mexico though they do not cut important figure The American interests in San Domingo almost exclusively those of great corporations which have property there against the government of San Domingo or private citizens of that republic. In Mexico there were thousands of American farmers or small property owners like the Mormon colonlss whose property was away by revolution and counter revolution in endless procession

The Sliding Scale

We are printing this morning communications from representatives of the strikers Ao giving their side of the controversy and in correction Of an earlier story of the strike that apepared in The Republican The strike declared against the New Cornela one of the properties of the Calumet & Arizona for higher wages. for the application the New Cornea of the sliding scale" under which wages are determined by the selling price of copper.
 The sliding scale was established in this state first we believe by the Calumet & Arizona. whose treat ment of It's has been liberal that never before as We recall have it's operations been interrupted by strike The adoption by the company of the slid ing scale was. understand entirely voluntary and not in response a demand for higher wages
 The principle of the sliding scale that the more company receives for it's product the more 1t can afford to the who assist in the production It is division of the profits of mining Evidently there fore it was contemplated that the sliding scale should apply only to producing mines. Though New Cor neia is the property of the owners of the Calumet & Arizona it is separate company and is not produc- ing mine, but is ,mne in the process development
 As a separate property without any relation at all to the C. & A.. would suggest that the sliding scale should apply to it. though higher wages equal to those under the sliding scale might in circum- stances be suggested The men, however argue that since the New Cornelia belongs the c. & A. and the
 
 they too, should be given advantage of the sliding scale.
 Here is a question over which economists and mathematicans may ponder The C. & A. already is dividing it's profits through the agency of the sliding scale with the men who assist in the production of copper If the company applies the scale to a larger number of men who assisting in the production of copper price the sliding scale IS based it is sacrificing something of it's share of the profits under the sliding scale arrangement is at disadvantage in comparison with companies which pay the scale only to those who contribute to the production That s if the sliding scale is paid by two companies to 1000 each who contribute to the production of 100000 pounds of copper month and one Of the companies adds it's payroll another thousand men who are only getting ready in a new property to produce copper of uncertain value at some futuer time the latter company is at a disadvantage
 As to the other argument of the men that their wages ought to be increased because of the higher cost of living at Ajo than camps that is an- other matter.

His interest in Phoenix and Arizona in general as his own mul hilarious lines of work, Major w. A Calhoun, promi- nent consulting engineer of Paducah, ! Ky. proved an engaging conversation alist to Republican representative who interviewed him yesterday. A num- Der of years had intervened between the majors last visit here and his present one, and he had never gotten in touch with the rapidly developing city. !
