WHY NOT COLLECT A LITTLE OF THE BOOTLEG MAZUMA IN CLIFTON
 At the last term of the Superior Court of Mohave county, the treasury was en- riched to the tune of $7,65o, in fines and for feitures in bootleg cases. The men whose bonds were forfeited, left the state sooner than face the music of the court two of them were well known business men, one the head of drug company, the ether the head of lumber company. They now sup posed to be rusticating in Southern Califor- nia whence many of them came shortly af- ter Arizona went into the dry column
 This might be taken as hint to the officers of Greenlee county. It is possible that some revenue might be derived by the county and the treasury enriched to some extent if a general roundup was made in bad-lands of Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf
 If MT. Slaughter is elected Sheriff the people may be assured that the violators of the prhibition law and all other laws, will be called to a strict account.

ANOTHER LAME DUCK' OPPOSES WIT SON

Every "Lame Duck in the republican party has taken the platform in opposition to President Wilson. The latest recruit to the ranks of disgruntled has-beens looms up in the person of that old woman in pants, the outgoing United States Senator from Cali forna, John D. Weeks.
 Ina letter recently written by him to a republican national committeeman in San Francisco he states: ''I would look upon the reelection of Wilson as a national calamity that might affect njuriously the best inter ests of the people for all time,' he further dumps off lot or medcated rot in his at tempt to besmrch the Presidents official acts.
 If his opposition to MT. Wilson carries no more weight with the electorate than his influence in legislation did during his six years term in the senate, Wilson can rest easy as to his success in the coming national election.
 In looking up the record of the discard ed independent progressive senator from California, the only particular mark he made during his term in Washington was his plead ings in behalf of Christian Science and the practices and preactings of that particular sect On roll call he is not recorded in the interest of one constructive or benefcient measure.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE "LEARY' TO THE CAME

TO THE GAME.
 The San Francisco Mining and Scienti- fic Press, edited by the we'll known mining scientist T. A. Ricard, has the following to say in the October issue of that conservative journal:
 Copper dividends are most satisfactory and shareholders have reason to feel hap py. The recent. contract for the sale of 44S million pounds oi metal to Great Britain and her allies means profit of $7o, o,ooo,ooo to shareholders during the first half of 1917. But it is foolish to talk, as brokers circulars are doing, of copper mining as an invest ment" at time when so many essential fac tors are uncertain. It IS a reasonable and most attractive speculation" but it is no game for widows and orphans.'
 This is very healthy advice coming from a man who knows whereof he speaks or writes.
 The press of this state today Is burden ed with expensive boost adds, tending to induce the public to open their purse-strings and invest their savings in prospective prop ositions, many of which are absolutely de- void of merit, and have not enough of ore visible or prospective to load burro.

Wilson is for peace He kept us out of war. Hughes is for peace, he says. But he objects to everything that Wilson did that kept the peace. If one mans methods are successful why change for other methods when even the other fellow admits the ob- iect IS the same?

Interpretation
OF TARIFFLAW BY
SEC'Y REDF!ELD

Washington, April 10.-An exhaustive
report on the operation of the present
tariff law, prepared by Secretary Red
field in response to Senate resolution,
was made public today by the department
OF commerce. 1t compares imports and
exports under the present and previous
laws, explains particularly the results
obtained during the nine months the I'm
derwood-Simmons act was in force before
the outbreak of the European war and
reviews the relation of wages to costs OF
production.
The average rate of duty on imports
under the existing law, the report says,
showed less marked decrease from the
previous rates than is generally inferred.
The net effects of the law, it adds. are
considerable increase in the free list
from 59.2 to 63.s per cent. of the total i'm
ports-and a general 10 per cent. reduc-
ton in duty rate on articles that remain
subject to duty. The decrease in the aV-
erage rate of duty was more marked in
the case of manufactured than manu-
featured imports. The report calls at
tention to the close correspondence be-
tween estimated receipts and actual re-
cepts under the Underwood-Simmon act.
Estimates said the bill would produce the
first year from $24S,O00, 900 to s25S, 900, 600
1t actually produced in the FIRST quarter
preceding the outbreak of the war $685.
100000. At this rate the annual revenue
would be s254,OO0,0O0.
Exports are shown to have increased
enormously under heavy demand from
Europe because of the war.
\
foreign manufacturers is met by few
American factories because imports Of
manufactured goods amount to less than
5 per cent. of the total Of American man.
ufactures. A study of the relation of
wages to the value of products, it contin-
ues shows that in industries represent
ing one-fifth of the total manufactured
product of the country the labor cost is
less than 6 per cent. of the value Of the
product. Another fifth shows wages rep
resent from to Is per cent. of the cost !;
another fifth from Is to 20 per cent
Wages in most of the remaining indus
trials represent from 20 to 30 per cent. A
comparison of the wage cost per centage
of products in 100 industries at the aver
age rate of duty on all ports shows, the
report says, that in nearly half the in
dustries the per centage spent for wages
is less than the cost Of duties on the
goods manufactured.
