Nevertheless, Hines said, he wants
a fair test made.
I'VE know that large body of the
people of this country have a settled
conviction that this question cannot
be successfully disposed of except
through government ownership. Argu-
ments of government ownership advo-
Gates are temporarily at a discount by

Two years is not time enough for a
fair demonstration, he said.
No plan can be satisfactory which
permits existence of overcapitalization

strong, some weak Hines believes.
ANY plan Of private management

planned.
He wants small guaranteed return,

High operating costs were due to the
war rather than to high wages.

PIONEER RESIDENT SOAP MAVUFACTU
 DIES AT HOME HERE

Thomas Whitney, ST., aged 7S years and a native of Ireland, died yesterday after an illness of nearly two years, during which two operations were per formed to stop the development of poisoning resulting from an affliction to one of his limbs. Burial will take place in Los Angeles next Thursday.
 Since 1893. when he established the first soap factory in Arizona, MT. Whitney has engaged in that business in this city. In 1884 he built one of the first soap factories in Los Angeles, and until coming to Arizona was in busi- ness there and in San Bernardino.
 Mir. Whitney was born in Ireland May 2, 1S41. and came to the United States 55 years ago. He resided in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a short time, and was married there to Miss Mary Ma roney, now deceased He moved to Kansas City, and after a short stay came west to Grass Valley. California, where he engaged in farming at time when gold mining. was still at its height. He was in southern California from 1884 until he came to Phoenix.
 Few men have been so continuously engaged in the manufacture of soap as was Mir. Whitney. For 35 years he de- voted his entire time and attention to that business and to him belongs the credit for number of improvements in the making of soap, which have been adopted by western manufacturers. MT. Whitney made and kept many friends. His good nature; his love of a joke; his fair dealing and kindly heart made him welcome guest wherever he called.
 The children of the deceased who survive him are Mrs. Alice Campbell and J. T. Whitney, Phoenix; Mrs Joseph Duggan, Joseph Whitney and w. F. Whitney, Los Angeles; Sister Perpetuna, San Diego.
