PULLING ALL TOGETHER

Ac- cording to latest reports there is not a great corporation in the United States, from the great Bethlehem steel to the Pullman pectorial-- (which in medical terms, means cough up) that are not losing money every day--but from patriotic sentiment, are taking care of the public.

Without question there is many a member of the democratic legislature who assisted in passing the present most wonderful primary law, who re- grets that he did not think in time and have made rules and regulations for conducting the Ladies' Aid Socie- ty, the W. c. T. U., prayer meetings and such societies, compelling them to meet in Phoenix every other year and promulgates a platform in order that the people might know what they in- tended doing lest they might offend the democratic party. We hope to see the next legislature repeal the law of gravitation, as we have heard several complaints about it lately from dem- ocrats who say it has failed to pro- tect them at inopportune times and they have fallen down hard.

Mother and Two Children
 Drown in Reservoir

Globe, Sept. 26.-The heroism of a mother who tried to save her boy from drowning cost the lives of Mrs. J. A. Dunaway, of Miami, her seven year old son Clark, and her nine year old daughter, Madeline, Saturday afternoon. This was the conclusion reached last night by those who in- vestigated the death of the trio in the Burch reservoir.
 Mrs. Dunaway had been i'll and it was feared for time that despond- ency had caused her to drown herself and her children. But careful exam ination of the facts resulted in the adoption of the theory that her son slipped down the soft dirt bank and into the water and that the mother and sister drowned while trying to rescue him.

the average good bookkeeper" charg- ed up to the company was to come out of the profits and dividends, there would be an upheval that would go from the ties to the tide.
 For years the people have been told what they should do and how to do it. The people are not accountants and it is easy to fool them, consequently, why not hire more very efficient book keepers for the companies?
 The people get political bookkeep- CTS and they are easy to get along with.
 How the average corporation can lose money ton paper) year after year and still pay millions in dividends, is a question in which details do not seem to count to any great extent.
 There is coming a day not far of, when the laboring man, the business man a whole lot of other men, who are not tied up to corporations will come to an understanding of what is right and what is wrong.
 A square deal is a square deal, but when you cut the corners, either union or corporation, there is bound to be a day of reckoning required by the people in between, who are going to ask why they are put in the "jam."
 Past years have seen things go it "blind," but the middlers have com menced to believe that it is time to ask both sides of the controversy for some of the facts and just where they are to get "off at"
 That the laboring man and the busi- ness man are not getting fair shake is plainly evident; they know it but are not able to put their finger on the right spot.
 The corporations know the political weakness of the people--all of them working men included. The working man and the business men seem to think they are good politicians and they pull away in all four directions the corporations know they are politicians and pull all in one direc. tion.

Cutting off the stamp taxes and substituting therefor a tax on the profits of a few war materials-care- fully emitting the sacred cotton of the South-may be good politics. But it is doubtful finance. Suppose the war should end as suddenly as it be- gan. Many people think it will. The manufacture of munitions would cease equally suddenly--and there would then be no profits to tax. Of course, a bond issue is always possible; and it is always probable, under a Dem- ocratic administration. But the stamp taxes, burdensome and irritating as they are, always produced money, be- cause the American people will use the telephone, the telegraph and the express lines, and they will continue to do business, no matter how difficult a Democratic administration tries to make 1t.

Detracting From an Ad

In all the glory of new paint the sign shone in the window of the fish, monger's shop. It said: Fresh Fish For Sale Here"
 "Why say here?" quiered the first customer who saw it. "That is un- necessary"
 So the shopman painted out the last word.
 "Why have you put for sale? 2" said the next customer. "Of course they are for sale!"
 "That sign is liable to be misunder- stood" said the third conner facetious- ly. "Sure you wouldn't have fish to sell that wasn't freshf"
 Once again the brush got busy, and the sign now bore the simple legend: "Fish."
 What's the use of that sign?" he said disdainfully. "You can smell lem a 100 yards away"

Back in 1905 Woodrow Wilson, then president of Princeton, suffered from one of his numerous attacks of logor- rhea. He was speaking at dinner of the North Carolina Society. Moth ing" he said, "has spread Socialistic feeling in this country more than the use of automobiles. To the country man they are the picture of arrogance of wealth with all it's independence and carelessness,' Nowadays, MT. Wilson's campaign managers are de- picting the prosperity" which his administrator is claimed to have brought to the country-and one of the arguments they adduce is that the number of automobiles owned here has vastly increased.

PRIVATE CARS COME
 HIGH IN THIS STATE

The state tax commission finished placing the valuations on the rolling stock of the private car companies operating in Arizona. All companies sending private cars across the state are forced to pay taxes on their pro- perty.
 The heaviest individual taxpayer is the Pullman company, whose proper ty crossing and recrossing the state is valued at S977, ,974.80. Of the thir- ty-six other companies, several rarely send their cars across the state, and in some instances they will be assess ed on a fraction of a car, caused by the fact that the valuation is placed on car mileage rather than on the car itself.
 The company having the next high est valuation is the Pacific Fruit Ex- press company of San Francisco, whose property is valued at $485,- 024.42, while the Santa Fe Refriger- ator Despatch company, another heavy fruit shipper, has it's property valued at $277, ,366.30.
 The property of the Union Tank Line of New York is valued at $43,- 10000, that of the Swift Refrigerator Transportation company at S4,4O0 and that of the Associated Oil com pany at $60,0O0.
 Several of the private car com- panies are let off with a light valua- tion, some of them being $100 and quite number less than $200.

An Unusual Chap

@r IT He doesn't care how prices soar,
 The cost of living is joke, He ne'er lets out a frenzied roar The same as other common folk. He lets things happen as they will And takes the good right with the
 bad.
 No hobby can give him thrill,
 He's not a crank on any fad, He never speaks an unkind word
 About single living soul, All gossip to him is absurd,
 His tongue is under strict control. Remarkable" of course you say,
 But this man you will never know; Because, you see, it is this way;
 They buried him ten years ago.

'TOO PROUD TO FIGHT" :.
 BUT PEOPLE PAY THE PRICE

Claims that President Wilson has Kept us out of war" are so rediculo- usly untrue that it is amusing to those who know the facts, declared Repre- sentative Charles F. Curry, of Cali fornia, in a statement recently.
 His refusal to recognize Huerta as the de facto President of Mexico, as was done by European nations, en- couraged bandit chiefs to continue their guerrilla warfare. Since then his vacillating policy, putting on. em- ibargos one day and lifting them the next, supporting one faction today and another tomorrow, dictating who should not be a candidate for the Presidency of. Mexico, and his med dlesome muddling generally, caused by his personal antipathy to Huerta, based on the uncomplimentary remark made about him by Huerta, prolonged the revolutions.
 President Wilson committed two acts of war against Mexico. One punitive expedition was for the avowed purpose of compelling Huerta to fire salute of twenty-one guns to our flag; a number of American mari nes and Meixcans were killed at Vera Cruz; the supply of note paper at the White House was exhausted, but the salute was not fired. The second punitive expedition was after the raid on Columbus and was to get Villa dead or alive Villa still lives and is at liberty.
 The president called for confer ence of Mexican factions to establish de facto government but said he would not recognize the leader of any faction that failed to attend. Car ranza was the only leader that re- fused to pay attention to the confer ence and President Wilson recognized him.
 In handling the Mexican situation the Wilson administration has invari- ably done those things it ought not to have done and left undone those things it ought to have done

One ardent defender of President Wilson says that in the wage-increase legislation demanded by 20 per cent of the railway employees, Wilson took the only course that was open to him Perhaps so, but if Grover Cleveland had been in the White House, there would have been other courses open to him It makes some difference who has the task to perform. The job was too big for Wilson, so perhaps it is true he took the only course man of his makeup could take.

When woman's in love every man she meets is an object of interest to her.
 When a mans in love only one wo- man in the world is interesting to him.
 An old woman in love makes twice the fool of herself than 8 young one.
 An old man in love makes twice the fool if himself that an old woman does. A young woman in love invariably disapproves of most things her par ents do.
 A young man in love loses interest in his bachelor friends and their amusements.

Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels evidently is not pleased with the election in Maine, for his paper the Raliegh News & Observer, says that "Maine went hell bent" That is not at all complimentary to the intelligence and patriotism of the voters of Maine, who listened to Dan. iels' speeches and then voted the other way. They are likely to recent the North Carolina estimate of their ac. tion and do some more voting of tho same kind in November.

Arizona has a great chance to clear

Arizona has a great chance to clean house this year and get back to facts and figures. Those who are honest in endeavoring to find out why the state government is costing so much can get mighty good line on it by elect ing Tom Campbell governor and a republican legislature. If they are willing to continue paying all the traffic will bear, they are entitled to continue the method of paying for what they fail to understand.
