PHOENIX, April 14.-Amazing evidence showing the extensive opera tions of the I. w. w. in Arizona and the unsuspected depth to which it had sunk its taproots in the state are revealed in number of docu- ments given out today by Sheriff John Montgomery, who has been in vestigating the machinations of the disloyal organization in Maricopa county.
 The trail followed by Sheriff Montgomery leads straight to the higherups, the men who supplied the brain power for the direct action ;sts9 and whose legal knowledge en- abled the hired agents of sedition to skirt the law just inside the dan ger line
 Not only does the evidence un- earthed disclose the fact that Phoe' nix was the eWobbly" capital for the southwest and that nearly Sl09, eco found its way into the organ lZaton cotferS Tn nine InontnS, DuI also that the I. w. w. could count cn the services of at least four oi the states legal lights whose advice ordinarily "comes high" The hand of these "higher-ups" is shown in 3 circusmtantial but highly convincing light by the documents which Sheriff Montgomery has gleaned
 One of the letters disclosed today is from H. McMillen, in charge ot I. w. w. headquarters at Phoenix to Peter Robertson, Socialist cand'- date for governor last year. Nc Mil1cn uses the L w. w. salute Dear Comrade," in addressing Robertson.

 Though 1t was generally suppos' ed in official circles that the Wob' plies had been more or less active in Phoenix all through 1918, it wa never dreamed that the capital city had been fostering the southwestern headquarters of the organization. nor that it had been handling funos totalling nearly $109,OO0 in nlnc months.

MONTANA'S SOLDIERS AS
FLUNkIES,

While it is announced both from
Washington and from Paris that all
American soldiers abroad will be home
by September l, this does not alter
the fact that about 300 citizens Of

being detained as laborers and scul-
lions around the A. E. F. university
in France although their division with
which many of them fought has been
sent home.

THE FAILURE OF GOVERNMENT
OPERATION.

The failure of government opera
ton of railroads, telephone and tele-
graph lines, or any other public util-
tiles, might easily have been foreseen
bv any one who would take the trouble
to consider the elemental influences
inevitably determining the outcome
It is certainly automatic that central
lied power in an individual or com
mission can only produce results com
mensurate with the integrity, ability
experience and unselfishness of the
Individual or the members of the com
mission. 1t is impossible that gov
eminent operation would place in con-
troll men of greater ability and ex-
perience than were the men who built
up the enterprises under private man
agement. Neither is there any reason
to believe that government operators
will be more honest or less selfish
than private operators. Private op-
Grafton had the advantage of the in
c%entive constantly offered by the hope
of the rewards Of success. In govern
ment operation this incentive was
practically lost.
Government operation necessitates
all the acts incident to government
regulation and more. If, then, gov
eminent regulation be a failure, no
thing better can be expected from
government operation. If government
regulation be a success, there is no
need for government operation. Pri-
vate operation under government reg
ulation retains the advantage of in
dividual initiative and the stimulus
of competition in efficiency, while
these are wanting in government op-
GRAFTON. By no line of reasoning can
one justify the expectation that gov
eminent operation will attain the de-
gree of success achieved by private
operation under proper government
regulation.
Government operation has not only
been more costly and leses efficient
but it has brought complaints of dis.
elimination and MISREPRESENTATION
ment of inequitable rates and injury
to business. 1t has brought strikes
and threats Of strikes, disconten
among employees, antagonism towar'
the government, wastefulness, depre
citation, retrogression and disorgan
ization. All of which was foreseel

RUNAWAY TRIP TERMINATES
DISASTROUSLY For YANKS


Coblenz, May 9.-Two American
soldiers who went ahead of the army
of occupation during it's march across
Rhenish Prussia last December, dom
ned German army uniforms and had
a series of thrilling adventures, after
a court martial recently were senten-
ced to 20 years at hard labor. The
men, both p~rivates, were charged with
desertion in addition to eight other
offenses connected with their runaway
trip.
According to the testimony brought
out at the court martial both men
spoke a little German and after 60
ing ahead of the advancing troops
fell in with a number of German SOL
diers, also deserters. The Germans
had stolen a lot of food, wearing ap-
parel and other articles of value, wit
nesses said, and induced the Ameri-
cans to assist the Germans in rescu-
ing the stolen property from a cache

HOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
LOST A BILLION DOLLARS.

A dispatch from Houston, Texas,
says that prospects are encouraging
for the production Of silk on a large
scale in Texas, and the experiment
is creating great interest throughout
the country. An Armenian silk grow
err has formed a company which has
purchased a thousand acres for a silk
farm and silk mill.
This recalls former efforts to es-
tablish the silk industry in this u
try from the worm to the cloth, which
have failed simply and solely because
this government has failed to extend
protection to this industry. The OBJ
stacle in the road of the development
of raw silk industry has been the
higher cost of production, due to
higher cost of labor, in the United
| States, as compared with Europe and
the orient.
We have heard much complaint
about excessive protection. There is
much to be said as to the failure ever
of protective congresses to extend ade-
quate protection, as the result OF
which we have failed to develop great
industrial that otherwise
might have proved of vast value to
the American people. In 1890 a tar
iff of 20 per cent on raw silk was pro-
posed to the committee OF ways and
means, of which William Mckinley
was chairman, but refused. When the
PAYNE tariff bill was being framed
a tariff of S. per pound on cocoons
was unsuccessfully advocated. Since
that time the import pound price OF
raw silk has risen from 1921 to more
than 5000. Within the past few weeks
the price of silk has been soaring
beyond all bounds. Most OF this raw
silk comes from the orient.
One hundred years ago Frederlcl
Rapp, head of the Harmonist indus
trial and agricultural colony at NeV
Harmony, Indiana, then supplying
from it's factories on the lower Wab
ash most of the trade of the uppe
Mississippi valley, appealed in val
to congress to foster, by a %protectiv
I tariff, the raw silk industry into bein
: in the United States. In support {
s., his request Rapp wrote an able a
t pument in favor of enriching an
: strengthening this nation throue
d making ourselves independent of sou
ces of foreign supply in silk and OF
: err fabrics. Mr.. Rapp, who was pc
l. haps the greatest captain OF lndu
try in America in the early days of tt
e. last century, pointed out that II

Of soldiers who came over shortly
before the armistice was signed are
permitted to return to civilian life.
They are right about it and the hope
is expressed that the objection of
the men will bring action favorable
to them.
When the old Second Montana left
the United States. it was the general
opinion that a better regiment of
real fighting men had not been mo-
bilized. This was the opinion of reg
ular army men and officials of the
war department.
But the old organization was split
up shortly after it's arrival in France
and it's men were used as a nucleus
for units to which was sent newly ar
rived soldiers, who were not as we'll
trained. They went to the front with
regiments formed in other states and
their identity as a Montana regiment
was largely lost, although the 163rd,
formerly the Second Montana, was
kept on the books as an organization
but was made up Of requirements
with a sprinkling of Montanans.
According to the communication OF
Messrs. Haynes and Hooks, Montan-
ans who fought in the trenches were
whisked back to the university when
the time came for sending their oil
visions home and they are humiliat-
ed by being assigned to mental jobs
for soldiers from other states, and In
some instances civilians, who have ar
rived in France since the armistice
was signed.
These men are palpably entitled to
a speedy trip home. They volun-
tarily laid down their jobs to serve
their country and they should be sent
back to resume them without delay.
