to the ear of the average grower, and
the sooner the belief is drilled into
them that profiteering consists not
only in wrongfully advancing prices
of manufactured cottons, but even
more SO in feloniously depressing the
raw staple, the less work for jailers.
The man or men, who in these times
of H. c. l.. profiteer by robbing the
public through excess charges, or in
defrauding the farmer by not paying
a fair price for his produce, should
all be gibbeted on the same scaffold
of public opinion, and they can con-
slider themselves lucky in not having
the scaffold more substantial one.
They poorly suage the temper of the
American public who consider it safe
at this time to indulge in either of
these popular pastimes of former days.
If there is any Salt River grower
who is fond of conundrums, here is
one to work on:
If Sea Island cotton is rs inch
+ staple and sells for 70 cents, why
should Arizona cotton. which averages

Prize Cotton Crop

SO far as is known to the writer, the
laurel wreath, or rather the cotton
crown, for successful cotton growing
this season is likely to go to Mr.. John
Walthall of Scottsdale.
There are few of US who have
dreamed of a bale of cotton to the
acre, mentally deciding at the same
time on the color scheme of the new
six. Others have casually dropped
the information to friends that a
three quarter bale crop wouldn't be
so bad, while the great majority of
the common, every day ranchers have
at various times and sundry. fervently
raised their voices to the powers of
rain and shine to favor us with even
a measly little half bale to the acre,
whereby we could manage to scratch
along for another year-the price be-
ing right, of course.
1t remains for Mr.. Walthall. how
ever, to show US just what the com
bination of SOIL sun and water can do
in Salt River valley when it comes to
raising the stuff that puts the good
into Goodyear.
From a field which measures exactly
seven acres-no more, no LESLIE has
already picked eleven bales of cotton
and may have a few extra pounds
left over to make quilt for his wife
in case he can't sell his baled cotton
for enough to buy made one.
After mature thought. this grower
says he is not particularly keen for
any laurel wreaths or cotton crowns

ing so cents for his lint

Talk of a Pool.

The very unsatisfactory price now
being offered the growers Tor cotton
has led to much talk during the past
week of pool for the purpose of
financing tho grower to hold his cot
ton until prices get more on a parity
with Sea Island cotton. While no def
mite steps have been taken towards the
formation of such an organization, it IS
not improbable that the coming week
may witness some movement along
this line.
The crux of the whole matter is, of
course, in the financing end, which VIII
have to be handled elsewhere. as the
banks here are scarcely able to handle

which involves an advance of at least
$500 per bale to the grower, This very

soundness of the security and the pros

the proposition is ably presented be-

New Gin Rule

The new rule as to deliveries of seed
cotton at the Southwest gins seems TO
be working very well. AT least several
days have passed and no yells loud
enough to be heard from Cashion to
Scottsdale have yet disturbed the hay
autumn air.
There have, of course, been more or
less S. O. S calls to the gin clerks,
but nothing approaching the sulphur

only to find the gin yard full and not
taking any more.
One experience like THAI is apt to
breed red rebellion against the system
responsible for it, and while the new
rule may not be perfect, il saves both
time and wagons. Had it been put init
effect thirty days earlier, many a
wagon sale would not have been made
and the grower would have been just

and added that he thought with a
little work the present White patrol
could be fixed up in good condition.
Councilman George H. Wells enter
tanned similar ideas and Alderman A
M. Paonessa said that a person could
get more for second hand "f1ivver'
than the Hartford firm had allowed
the city for the White truck. Chair
man King read a long list of defects
with the White car, but in the opinion
of Messrs. Landers and Steiner these
are all minor things that can be cas-
lily repaired and do not greatly impair
the value of the car. Both Of these
cOuncilmen declared that if that was
all the matter with the White patrol
they did not think it necessary to
buy new one. In connection with
this argument Councilman Steiner
said he has seen the police depart
ment service car driven through the
streets in the rain, the driver not hay
ing taken the trouble to put up the
| top. If this is the kind of trea tment
the city employees give the city cars
he did not wonder that they needed
repairs, and he added that he has
noticed other instances where city
cars are not given the best of care.

contract and referred the entire mat
ter back to the police commission.

Gil has no right to abate the personal
taxes for members Of the Home Guard
and the same applies to the City
Guard. There then ensued some dis
cussion during which a majority Of
the council members favored evolv-
ing some plan to abate these taxes as
an expression of appreciation to the
Home Guardsmen, when Councilman
M urray arose and moved that the
whole matter be tabled, explaining:
Anyone who belongs to the Home
Guard or City Guard Is a Stacker, in

mediately spoke from the chair, say
ing that mem bers of the Home Guard
and City Guard are not "slackers' IN
any sense of the word and the coun-
Gil members ought to be very careful
what they say lest they be called
upon to make a retraction. Alder
man O. F. Curtis also rallied to the
defense of the Guardsmen. The re-
port of the corporation counsel was
finally accepted.
Auto Contract Criticised.
The matter of turning in the auto
m obiles owned by the police depart
ment plus $4,000 in cash, for two
REQ cars, caused an upheaval In the
council and despite the arguments of
Chairman P. +. King of the police
board the council refused to ratify
! the contract, agreeing almost unan1-
| mously that the city was not getting
| enough in return for it's two cars.
| The contract as submitted called for
| the expenditure of $4,000 In cash and
| turning in the auxiliary patrol, an old
| Hudson touring car, and the chassis
| of the present White patrol. The al
, lowance for these two cars made by
| the Russell P. Taber Co. Of Hartford
| was but $3.50. Councilman Charles
| Gilin Immediately declared he did
| not think the city was getting enough
| for the two cars and Councilman
| George M. Landers was also insistent
| that the city was on the small end
| of the bargain. He declared that tho
| white Motor truck is about the best
| of it's kind made and if the city is
