RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT

Henry Clews, the New York banker, sums up the railroad situation as follows:
 Not few light, power and local transportation issues selling exceedingly low prices, and div idends have often been imperlled, if not impaired, by the advance in wage and other expenses, while charges for service remained unchanged. It is not unlikely that turn for the better is at hand, be- cause the action of the federal government nregard to the railroads a significant example, and will doubt hasten advances in charges for gas, electr city, street railway fares etc, in compensation for the increased cost of doing business. The national railroads making steady progress. Better gross earnings are often reported, and net returns guaranteed by the government.
 'The administration has also made liberal prep aration for necessary improvements and equipment, having authorized expenditures of S946,OOOOOO dur ing 1918, of which $2O6,OOOOOO will be for freight cars, S199OOO,OOO for locomotivesy $38,OOOOOO for bridges estles etc., S31 100000 for rails and tracks, S62, 100000 for shops $98OOO,OOO for yards and sid ings, $47,OOO,OOO for main tracks, S28,OOOOOO for passenger cars and S22OOOOOO for stations, not to speak of a host of other Outlays Such vast expen- ditures, necessitated by prolonged starvation, intense activity in the steel industry for many months to come. Railroad shares have in cOnse- quence shown decided steadiness and not little strength at times The market for industrias has, however, been somewhat spOtty; increased expenses and heavy taxes having in not a few instances ma -teriaiiy affected dividend paying properties,
 "The question of taxation is still a serious prob lem One-third of the cost of war is apparently to be paid out of taxes and these to be doubled. There is general willingness to meet this great ad- dtona burden but there is nevertheless much crti- cism concerning the njustices and confusion of the present law; also a fear that unless the new taxes are judicously applied they will dry up the sources of revenue and new capital. For some reason there is much distrust in the competence of congress to draw up fair and effective measure and much more confidence is exhibited in Secretary McAdoOs propo sals, severe as they seem to be-"

WHY GENTLEMEN?

The Arizona Cattleman advocates the election of cattlemen as legislators for the reason that mining men want the cattlemen taxed heavier It seems re- markabe that cattlemen, paying about per cent law making body. Mining pays about 40 per cent of the tax of the state and should certainly have some say in the making of laws. It has never tried to evade taxation, and surely the cOwman has. The farmer and cattemen have controlled the destinies of the state long enough and it is to be hoped this year will see the mining men in control of the legis lature and the governorship The railroads and min ing interests of the state pay about 90 per cent of the taxes of the state while the cattemen, farmers and lumber interests pay the other 10 per cent.

MEET GERMANY'S TRADE
 THREAT WITH BOYCOTT

| My own observation teaches me. that this saying is not true. History never fails to show that the spirit of self-sacrifice is stronger in women than in men.
 The women of the United States should unite to boycott German goods. If they wish, form a secret society for this purpose. This society should have membership of 2O,OOO,OOO women. There should be no dues, no initiation fee, no headquarter expenses. There should be united spirit-no more. We may take lessons from the Ger mans in the way of spreading a trade propaganda. But we could not, as civilized people, adopt the ruthless Hun methods in doing so.
 That would stamp us as no better than the Huns.
 Don't in the future choose German goods.
 Shun the dealers in German goods.
 The Hun will show you no mercy if he gets you in his clutches.
 He will force you to buy his goods, willy-nilly.
 If you produce the raw material he will dismantle your factories and send the material to Germany, there to be made into the finished goods; then he will ship it back to you, compelling you to pay freight charges both ways and allow a liberal per cent of profit to the German dealer,
 You don't believe it?
 See what the Huns have done in Belgium and northern France and are now doing in Russian Poland.
 They dismantled every factory in Belgium-a country of factories-and at Lille and other manufacturing cen ters in France, seizing the machinery and sending to Germany all except the ground upon which stood the buildings, with the ironic solace to the beggared owners that it would be restored to them after the war. Even if they kept theis promise, the machinery would be worthless for further use, worn out and anticipated. But they do not in- tend to keep the promise, or any prom ise.
 In Poland the valuable machinery of Lodz, Warsaw and every other man city was "sequestered" as old iron and paid for as junk; but the pay was in German paper money, whereas all the stuff the Polish mer- chants bought from Germans had to be paid for in. gold. In a few known cases the Polish merchants who were not bankrupted by this and other ar bitrary methods of extortion were giv- en opportunity to repurchase from German manufacturers at enormous 1 prices their own machinery which | some months before they had been forced to sell under the sequestration, pretext as "old iron"

OPERATING THE
 OLD DUN SAYS

James Martin and Porfiro Noli are now operating the old Don Sais claim, situated on the Cedar road, a few miles north of the old silver camp. They have been clearing the old works of debris and will soon be sinking on the property. This is one of the old claims of the Cedar district that pro- ducei considerable ore in the early days of the camp, and considerable rich ere is still left in the mine. As says taken from the vein have given results as high as 500 ounces in sil- yer to the ton. The original locatOrs of the mine extracted the oxidized ore, but passed up the sulphides. This ore is now found to be just as rich as the chlorides that were taken from the grass-roots.
 Messrs. Martin and Noli expect soon to have the mine in shape to produce and bring in an excellent property. It IS well situated for economic work and 50 feet more of depth is expected to bring the better grade of sulphides to view.

The Germans are preparing to cap ture the trade of the world after the war, shutting out all competitors and invading countries like the United States, where there are so many Ger mans or German sympathizers that the local merchants must go into the courts of bankruptcy. If they should win the war-which they will not do they will force us to buy their goods. If they do not win they will flood our markets with cheap goods and kill our mercantile life. Encouraged by the bomabstic promises of the kaiser they have been manufacturing goods for foreign markets during the four years of the war. These they must get rid of at any price in order to obtain the money with which to continue the trade warfare. If the people of the United States wish to save their man ufacturers and markets they must do something now that will operate to protect us in the future.
 We must organizE to meet the en- emy in the field of trade.
 We must agree to boycott German goods.
 There are two or three million Ger mans in this country who contributed to the Von Bernstorff fund of S50,000,- 900 for maintaining spies here and be- traying our every movement to the German government and paying for the destruction of our factories and grain reserves-why should we con- tribute money to continue their system of terrorism?
 The war has made the United States independent of economic Germany. Ev- cry article we formerly depended on Germany supplying us with we are now making for ourselves.
 Germany once held us in the thrall of fast dyes. We now make fast dyes as lasting as any Germany ever sold us. American dyes are now exported to twenty-one countries. It used to cost us S15,OOO,OOO yearly to bring these dyes from Germany.
 We used to send to Germany for re- fined tin and other industrial metals; we now deal directly with the produc- CTS of raw metals. Half the tin mined in Bolivia will be refined in this coun- try and the other half in Wales. Be- fore the war we obtained it through Germany, paying costs of transporta- tion two ways, and the refinery prof its.
 But these are items which can be counted upon the fingers. They are mems affairs. The others, the in others, are the affairs of the women and in actual cash are far in excess of dyes and metals. It is said that women are not loyal in this matter of purchase and sale; that the instinct is mightier than patriotism.

"A FUNNY THING"

"A funny thing happened in Everett, Washington" according to a letter written by Herbert Mahler Chicago, one of the defendants in the l. w. w. trial now in progress at the lake metropolis and read be- fore Judge Landis at recent session of the court The funny thing" was what happened after the own CT of certain box factory in the state of Washing ton became actively leader of the vigilantes. quotation from the letter says:
 He was a chesty guy until Sunday night He own ed box factory worth $5O,OOO. He isn't chesty now as all he owns is ash pile that is worth about 50 cents. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.' am going down to join the Holy Rollers, God is with us, the oppressed; or possibly it the cat"
 Writing to c. L. Lambert, George Speed and W. D. Haywood from Everett, Mahler told of a so-caed la bor fight going there, saying:
 The fight will continue a la cat Would have wrecked the jail but the sheriff gave permission to speak This fight is just the beginning of the at tempt to drive the I, W. W. out of the lumber in dustry.

IDEAL FOR sANITORIUM

That there will be hundreds of sanatoriums convalescent hospitals established throughout the United States is now unquestionable. But the ques ton is will these places for the recuperatiOn of men suffering from tuberculosis, trench feet gases and debility be established according the draft quotas, as indicated in the opinions of Surgeon General Cor gas and his staff or will they be established where the individuals may get the benefit of good air and ideal climate? Because man enlisted from one of the New England states will he have to suffer also the nine months of winter and cold weather and the
 nroads of the white plague, when he could be taken to hospital where there was possibility of recovery? We do not believe it. For years the government maintained tuberculosis hospital at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, and it to that place that all sol- ders suffering from bronchial affections were sent No one would think of sending these poor fellows to a frigid climate.
 And this brings up the subject of a recuperating bospital in this county. For months number of our local men, including big committee, have been representing to our senators and representative as well as other officials ;he fact that MOhave county offers an ideal location for such hospital Not only
 is its climate ideal, but it has the purest water the best roads and magnificent scenery of any other sec tion of the southwest. With its matchless al-the- year climate and ever changing mountain and valley irrespective it offers to the enervated patient body and mind builder that no other section of the world can give. In the center of the great Cordelleran pIateau it's air is clear, heathful and bracing Its days are cIoudless and its nights cool and inviting The lure of mountain and desert is always with you, and you will always fc el that you in Gods world
 George A. Shea, Judge Paul c. ThOrne and mem- brs of the committee have written to Senator Ash urst. and the letter received by Judge Shea would indicate that old Fort Wbpple would be one of the bosptals but such places would be capable of caring for only few of the many who will have to be cared for by the United States before the war IS over. Fort Bayard can care for only few hundred and while it is ideal for the treatment of tubercuar natients it is inadequate Mohave county people are not taking any rebuff from the government medical departnent, but will work to the end that great sanitorium be tuilt somewhere within the county, that the poor fellows who suffer from wars ills may be brought back to health. We are looking at the project from the humanitarian side of the question and not that some community may be benefited to the amount of millions of dollars Let our people keen up the good work that they have inaugurated and we expect that any of the large recuperatmg hos
 taIs of the government will be located in the south west

Thus Poland has been pillaged for millions, her factories closed, her buildings left to decay, her worEmen deported.
 For Poland was the most severe competitor of German exporters in the Russian market.
 At all events, now, as in the future, boycott the goods of a nation which employs such tactics.
 And if the Germans here, hyphenat- ed or unhyphenated, don't like our methods, send them back to Germany. Let them go there and make trouble.
 Let's send a few shiploads of them. They might prove to be the leaven that Ieavens the mass.
 At any rate, let us not be the goat any longer.
