Brinq the Boys to the Fair

Someone has made the very good suggestion that the war department be induced to order the First Arizona infantry transferred from the border service Phoenix for duty at the state fair. Here is scheme which should appeal to Secretary of War Baker who judging from his orders for the various troops still in their concentration camps distance practice hikes and expeditions being made, believes in keeping things in the army well stirred up The secretary knows that the long continued service the border has become irksome, and apparently welcomes every opportunity, other little actual warfare maintain the spirits of the men, many of whom would never had enlisted, had they foreseen the long, tiresome ahead of them.
 If Senators Smith and Ashurst, and Congressman Hayden wish do something that will give a lot of pleasure fine lot of young soldiers just about double the pleasures of the state fair for thousands of the home folk they will rely spare no efforts to that our boys sent here in November. It will be first opportunity to completely manned and equipped Arizona regiment and should do much to stimulate general interest in things military The presence of the First Arizona infantry at the state fair would be drawing card for the fair that is admitted but it would also accomplish more in the way of giving the boys a well-earne change and activity and desirable experience in travel under military discipline.
 Colonel Harris, adjutant general of the state brought to bear the end that this plan be carried out and asks the cooperation of Arizonas civic and commercial organizations for that purpose

l. '. CON. CO. STOCK |S OVER
 SUBSCRIBED
By F. S. BALENTINE Special to The Republican,

JEROME, Sept. 3.-Unprecedented in the history of Arizona and perhaps unprecedented in the history of min ing is the financial success of the United Verde Consolidated Copper company.
 The two hundred thousand shares of pre- organization stock offered by this company less than two weeks ago at ten cents per share has been oversub- scrlbed by more than one hundred thousand shares and responsible brok- CTS have submitted bonifide bids for more than the half million treasury shares that are to be sold.
 Receipts for pre-organization stock have been bid up to twenty-five cents a share locally and many a sale at that figure are reported.
 Every mail brings drafts and checks for pre- organization shares to treas urer s. F. Balentine. and orders are still coming in by telegraph. He is compelled to mail remittanceS back to the senders and to inform them that it is very doubtful whether any treasury stock will be offered to the public.
 More than score of brokers are bidding for the treasury stock of the United Verde Consolidated. The or ganizers, all of whom are responsible business and professional men of Je- rome, Clarkdale and the Verde valley are determined that not more than 5G0, 900 shares of treasury shall be sold for that will raise a fund entirely suf ficient for the exploration and devel- opment of the two promising groups of claims that the company holds. This allotment will come far from supplying the demand. One big New York brokerage house has offered to purchase the half million shares out right at seventy five cents. An Fl Paso broker has asked for 250,OOO shares and one in Douglas wants | hundred thousand. These are merely the largest offers. A dozen applica- | tions have been received for blocks from twenty thousand to fifty thous- and The firm of J. A. Minnear and Co., of Laurium, Michigan, has asked l for all that the Consolidated company will allot them J. A. Minnear is in Jerome and personally acquainted with the properties owned by this Whether the stock will be sold | through the brokers or offered direct to the public will be decided at an early meeting of the directors. Some of the directors favor selling to the
 brokers as the quickest means of com pleting the development fund and placing the company in a position to begin actual mining operation.

 fore the controversy began, so far as I was concerned in it, that the whole temper of the legislative body of the United States was in favor of the eight hour day.
 "When I carried it to congress, some very interesting things happened. In the house of representatives the plan was passed and was sanctioned by vote which included, I am told, about 70 republicans as against 54 repub- licans; and in the senate, l am ln- formed, that the republican members of the senate held a conference In which they determined to put no ob- stacle in the way of the passage Of the bill. Now this was because the pro- posal was reasonable and was based upon right.
 But ladies and gentlemen, that IS not the end of the story. This thing ought to have been done, and it had to be done at the time that 1t was done, so as to bring about reason able trial of the eight hour day and a careful examination of the results of the eight hour day. But that does not finish the matter. Let me call your attention to what I believe we ought all to be thinking about so as to set the stage for this and all similar cases.
 "There are some things in which so- ciety is so profoundly interested that its interests take precedence of the in tersts of any group of men whatever. One of these things is the supply Of the absolute necessaries of life. It would be intolerable if at any time any group of men by any process should be suffered to cut society off from the necessary supplies which sustain life.
 But these supplies are of no use unless they can be distributed and in the matter of the distribution of gods, particularly of the goods that sustain life and industry, the interest of society is paramount to every other interest; and that difficulty about all situations

The Italian government in order to reduce the cost of living expenses which have increased rapidly this has seized 10 900 eggs and is selling them at two cents each just one-half the market price. We see where the Italian premier has strengthened his position but would advise democratic friends at Washington if they are looking for similar oppor tunities to just grab up few billion gallons gaso line and offer it at ten cents per. There ought be to explode the gasoline corner there is question but that the present high prices on that commodity are due to manipulation and market conditions.
