PROSPERITY IN ADVERSELY.

T HE world is short on production!
This is particularly true of those coun-
tries recently locked in the strife of nations.
Even our own is included.
Foreign peoples are manifestly not in position
to produce in proportion to their requirements for
some years to come.
America is
The sensible thing, then, for America to do is
to increase its production, to double, and treble it.
This can be done.
Two essentials to this end are paramount:
Quit squabbling among ourselves, and 60 to work
America is rich now. But in few years. if
we all go to work and produce to the limit of our
capacity, will have provided the necessities for
which the world cries, and will have enriched
ourselves beyond the dreams of avarice
Every one will become plutocrat
Go to work.
Work harder!
Stay with it!
Your ship will come in and your dream will

ranch, south of town, Sunday night at

Immediately after the shooting,

ARIZONA AND THE YAoU1 PROBLEM

Sunday "The Oasis" presented an article from
the Tucson Star giving an account of the proceed
ngs of the Luncheon Club of that city Friday after
noon and the remarks addressed the club by Mr..
Teodoro Frizieries, personal representative of Cow
enor de la Huerta, of the state of Sonora upon the
Yaqui problem in that state and the way in which
it's gravity is magnified by sale of arms and ammt-
milton to Yaquis by merchants in Arizona.
Some Of those present at the gathering admitted
the impeachment and asserted that certain dealers
are enrching themselves in that most reprehensble
in that city, locating them street they named;
traffic and speaker asserted that there are laws
which will reach the evil, if they are enforced.
Probably the latter assertion is correct; but it
is like many other prohibitory laws; there not
enough officers to cover the ground and bring to-
book offending dealers

~ HERE is trouble everywhere, as the dayss
dispatches show, discontent is inthe air, ever

denounce The putocrats, who have gathered in more
rocks than we've boarded in our flats. All this
discomfort in view is an after-war disease; it is
like the Spanish flu, which bnt lately made us

RAIL AND WATER CARRIERS
cummins Bill Would Develop 1ott
and Link Together

~uWWtuS Dill "OUto OOVOtOP 0os"
and Link Together
Washington, Nov. 1s-(Special cor
respondence)-One of the most sig
nincant features Of the Cummins
railroad bill recently reported to the
Senate Is contained In Section 45,
which undertakes to bring into
closer correlation transportation by
rail and water. 1t provides that every
carrier by water shall hle with the
newly created Transportation Board
q schedule Of the routes, sailing
dates, and rates Of each OF its boats.
Such information Is to be published
in compact form for the information
Of shippers, and copies placed in the
hands Of railroad agents throughout
the country TO which reference may
be had by shippers. When ship
ments consigned to foreign ports are
accepted by a railroad at an interior
point through bills of lading are to
be issued, but the road is not to be
held liable for the shipment. after it's
delivery to the boat.
Few things would contribute more
to the upbuilding Of our Nations
commerce than the development of
water transportation which those
provisions of the Cummins bill will
do so much to stimulate. Our water
transportation systems cannot COM
pete successfully with foreign ocean
carriers unless there is close co-or-
dination between shipment by rail
and shipment by steamer. The
recognition Of those basic facts AMI
their practical application il, the
, Cummins bill forms one OF the
strongest arguments for that meas
ure as a whole. Even if ii were not
70 prove the success that its authors
anticipate in solving cur rail prop-
lens. its right to a place on our
statute books would be amply demon
strated by the provisions referred to.
1t has long been urged by students
OF economics that transportation by
rail and water must be considered
merely in the light Of instrumental
tiles in the encouragement and en-
tension of our industries as a whole
, not as an cad in themselves. 1t has
equally been conceded that the two
) hictAouS oI carriage must form an
uninterrupted medium for placing
the products Of the domestic manu-
facturer in the hands of the foreign
consumer. Section IS Of the bill will
&c far toward bringing about the de-
sired result. but further steps in that
! direction may be taken by the Trans
portation Board under the terms Of
| Section 10 which directs it TO 'in-
! quire into water transportation IA
: cilities bot. for internal and exter-
nal commerce, and especially into the
! relations between carriers by land
and carriers by water. and the best
| method Of co-ordinating the two
kinds OF transportation. when the
carriage is partly by land and partly
by water"
The Committee on Interstate Com
merce Is impressed with the su-
preme Importance of the new policy.
and in its report "hopes that this
part, of the bill will be carefully
examined, for it is the first real
recognition Of the coordination of
