A Vote Catching Device

The municipal ownership question is being already dragged into local politics before there pros pect of municipal ownership. Candidates going before the people pedging themselves municipal ownership of electric lights and power. The that is being made of the municipal ownership issue is really nandcapping municipal ownership. For. il the shadow of it is to be brought into politics is being done for vote catching purposes what might expect would be done the substance in the hands of men elected such issue. A municipal ownership plant in politics will waste, graft and corruption than any other product And that is ius' what a municipal ownership plant would out if controlled by who willing tc make a political issue of the very of it.
 The Republican believes in municipal ownership when conditions clearly justify it remedy for evils and a relief from exactions often imposed by public service corporations but it believes that municipal ownership plants should be conducted economically anG free from politics. partisan clique, they conducted by private But we are not nov considering the propriety of munc- ipal ownership. That is subject for later discus sion We are dealing only with the folly or the dis honesty and the general attitude of candidates who seek to fool the voters with this
 The Rerul1icen has dealt with this subject be- fore while some weeks ago groups of citizens considering the bringing of candidates for the commission and the mayoraty. Objection made to this because he for municipal ship, and to that because he against nunc- ipa ownership. The Republican pointed that that had nothing all to do with the qualifications of a for the commission the mayoraty. We knew very competent and honest who for. and equally competent and honest who against municipal ownership We knew competent and honest who belonged church who belonged another and some who belonged tc church at all Their relation the church had just much bearing their qualifica- tons for the commission the mayoraty as their attitude toward the municipal ownership question If the mayor and all the members of the sion were strongly for municipal ownership they could not bring it about without the of a or- ty of the taxpayers. If the majority did not want It. that would be the end of the matter. If the mayor and all the commissioners against municipal ownership and majority of the taxpayers it. they could easily force the government submit the question to the taXpaNers and then we should have municipal ownership.
 Thus, it may be that the who are run ming for office her municipal ownership attitude might well be running the color of their hair or their eyes. They either very ignorant or else they thnk the voters are very ignorant or they

A Ban on a Picture

There is rather ugly report that the city mission in ordering the suppression of the Birth ot Nation" was influenced by the approach of he city primaries and election. One member who voted for the ordinance and all of them voted for it. IS said to have been asked why this summary action taken. without observing the terms of the ord- rance which make the mayor and commission q board of censors. And this member is said have replied that there about TOO coored voters in the city While the answer does seem to have been entirely responsive, it is fully explanatory.
 We do know whether the town would be espe- ciay benefited by tEe presentation of the Birth of q Nation. Perhaps not But there should be a better for the suppression picture than the fact tLat certain element possesses a certain number of This picture which to be the most elaborate and cXpensively produced in the history of film making has had runs of several weeks in nearly every large city in the north and have heard of i-results from it's presentation It is that it has been barred Texas and per haps in other southern localities but there is d eor it's suppression there that does not exist here.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Nepotism Should Be Prohibited

Nepotism Should Be Prohibited To the Editor of the Republican:
 The vice of Nepotism is defined in the new revised encyclopaedia dictionary as follows: The vice com mon among public men holding patronage, of appointing their own relatives to situations of emolument in disregard of the claims of others better fitted for the offices; favor itism towards ones relations
 You will note that Nepotism is de- signated as vice" It has also
 been made d crime in a number of states. Many statesohave most string ent laws on this subject The civil cerVice rules of the fed eral government prohibit the employ ment of more than two persons of the same family in any branch of the civil service
 late federal statute prohibits in- terlocking directoratcs in certain fi- nancial institutions, which is intend | ed to prohibit concerted manipulated faction in financial affairs. Why should q relative of an of
 ficer be employed in his office or conveniently placed by his influence 1 in another public office where such officer may be called upon to audit l the accounts of such office or to approve the work of his own relative when his disapproval might cost
 such relative his job?
 | An anu-Nepotism law prohibiting
 this vice by state. county and city
 officers should be speedily passed and to that end legislative candi-
 dates should be pledged to such a measure.

Phoenix Ariz March

Phoenix Ariz., March ,. 1916. To Water Users and Friends:
 Because many influential members of the Water Users association from all parts of the valley have and are still urging me to consent to be candidate for the office of presi- dent of the association, will state that after several days of careful consideration I decided that I could not see my way clear to do so. have considered the matter only from a standpoint of duty but find that my obligations to my family and bus mess, which all agree should come first, are such that they would be greatly neglected if I should be elect ed president Of the Water Users as
 sociation
 This is a wonderful valley fav- |ored by climatic conditions with its
 broad acres of rich land and its
 bank of stored water vet with its |$i1000 0O0.OO obligation to the gov ert,ment, it's problems of rural cred it's, marketing etc it is going through critical times and it's future success is largely dependent upon the proper solving of the many import Iant questions to come before the of ficers of the Water Users associa . tion. The president of that associa . tion has a mans job and should be able to give his entire time to those problems if he hopes to even partly satisfy demands, even if given hearty cooperation and the best of en- gineers to assist.
 As I am president of the chamber ! of commerce and Valley Bank Adjust
 ment company and director of sev- eral other important organizations for the advancement of the city and val | ley requiring much time. it cannot
 be said that I am a shirker of public | duty. True would have dropped as far as possible these positions if elected by the Water Users as their president but I prefer to do these l things gladly when asked and see to | my private interests, rather than try I to divide time between a paid posi- tion and my own interests. with the possibility of failure in both. Trusting that my views of the sit
 u5 tion are appreciated and assuring
 my continued hearty cooperation for
 the good of the valley, I am

STRIKERS BLAME EMPLOYERS

The riot which nearly deveIoped in

ern Terra Gotta Co., $500 CIybourn
aV., last week, was promoted by the
company, which hoped to get more
police protection through it, say the
union men.
The company has failed utterly in
its attempt to work the plant with
strikebreakers. It is so anxious to
get the strikers back to work that
1t has offered them a higher wage
than they demanded when they
struck, but it still refuses to recog-
nize the union. The men hold that
recognition Of.the union is at this
time Of more importance than an in
creased wage.
City police are still active in their
interest for the company. Follow
ing the printing of a story of union
men accusing Officer 24O4 of threat
ening strikers, this policeman threat
ened Leo. G. Schmidt, business agent
for the strikers, with bodily harm.

Warned him against even walking by
the plant. Others say they have been
threatened by city police.
An injunction has been issued
against the strikers, who number

than the one which prohibits ma
strikers from even talking
