daylight saving act on the grounds that
it was of no benefit to the people of ru-

several bills providing for its repeal, but
all of them failed.

.ARlONA'S BLIND BABIES
 SHOULD BE REPORTED

The latest report relative to the care of the baby blind of this state shows only two blind babies receiving care, maintenance and education un- der the laws of 1912, which provide for the blind from the day of blind ness.
 Where are the blind babies of this state, and why does not the public re- port them?
 The blind babies left to grow up without special care if they live to school age are almost without excep- tion so deterioriated mentally and physically they are almost always un- able to enter the State Schools for the Blind. But if a blind baby is "given a chance" it is an exception if it does not progress equally with seeing chil- dren.
 Arizona provides, through the State Board of Education special care and training for these little folks. The Board has "power to contract with any institution having or furnishing facilities for such care, maintenance
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-12-13

and education, in Arizona or any other state, at contract price not to exceed one dollar per day.
 Therefore why are the Arizona blind babies not receiving the benefit of this law! Simply because the mothers, no doubt, are ignorant of it.
 Mrs. John Alden, the founder of the International Sunshine blind babies homes, which take any blind child from any state and give it special care until the state is prepared to send it to some institution for high CT learning, will be glad to give all information she can relative to the different state laws governing the care of the baby blind, and to help any mother who has blind baby in any way she can relative to it's care in the home.
 Mrs. John Alden's address is 96 Fifth Avenue, New York City and the institution that she has founded and whose doors are open to any blind child from any state is located at Pine Grove avenue, Summit, New Jersey and is known as The Arthur Home for Blind Babies.

we should not seek preferential rates at the expense of the rest of the pub lie, any more than as sellers of fuel and metal we should be willing to let the Railroad Administration procure its supplies from our mines and fur- naces and mills at prices so related to bare cost that the public must make up the difference.
 In it's relation to the mining indus try the Government needs to be fair, whether the relation is that of mineral landlord or of business investigator or of tax collector or of purchaser of fuel and metals. The principle laid down by President Wilson during the war that the Government rate should be the same as the rate to the public should have been followed by every one down the line, whatever his title or insignia of office. Now that we have had time to regain our polse, l think the public servant generally wishes to serve rather than to com mandeer. We in the Government serv- ice. however, must realize the neces- sity of being even more scrupulous Tn our exercise of power than if we were in private business. .,
 Welfare rather than wealth should be the dominating note of our indus try. But wealth may be defined as provision for future welfare, inas- much as it is the surplus beyond pres ent needs. To the present-day prob lem of industrial unrest, then, what IS the answer, except to create larger surplus. Whether among individuals or among nations the old-fashioned ideas of industry and thrift come near CT the natural law than the new prop osition of five-day and a six-houl day. No protective tariff can safe guard the home market for industries based on a 3O-hour week, nor can oul industries expect to win or hold place in foreign markets on any part time program, unless there is some in ternational agreement making for uni
 versal indolence, and even then WV may discover that there can be no re turn to Garden of Eden conditions O.
 consumption without productive indus try. believe the earliest preceden
 was a continuing injunction for SIX day week, and no lower court has sine ordered any peter rule of action O reversed that Divine injunction.

MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN AT
 l. OFA. WEARS COMPLETION

The stone work is now all finished on the beautiful memorial fountain which is being built on the campus Tn memory of the "undying dead" of the University of Arizona faculty and student body who gave their lives m the service of their country during the world war. The fountain is the gift of a friend of the University who does not wish to have his name disclosed. It's cost will be over five thousand dol lars.
 The fountain occupies central po- sition in front of the Main Building and will be very great addition to the beauty of the Campus. It IS built of native malpais stone from the Tucson mountains and gray synthetic stone resembling granite. Concealed lights will play on the water at night as it sprays from the center and pours into the reservoir. A circular grass plot will be set about two feet above the ground, between the outer wal and the reservoir; seats will be made on the eight sides, and the whole VII be enclosed by small hedge about foot high. ..
 The inscription on the memora tablet of bronze will be as follows:
 "This fountain is erected in honol of all faculty members, alumni, ant students of the University of Arizona who in patriotic devotion answered our country's call for service in th' World War, 1914-191s, and is dedi cated with enduring affection to thu twelve men who gave their lives 10 the freedom of humanity-Alexande Tindolph Berger, William Orvili Blows, Corlande Brown Curry, kar Thomas Hurst, James Preston Jones Ritchie William Jones, Louis Edwar Kengla, Leonard Low, Morgan Blan McDermott, Cornelius Molenbeck, Les lie Abram Waterbury, Homer Donal Whipp." ;,
 A, dedication service will be hel when the fountain is entirely comple' ed, probably about the beginning . the wear.

 UNITED AMERICANS
(Continued from Page 3

Continued from rage o) mander of the American legion in Arizona as state chairman was espec- ially fitting. Now the one strong pat riotic voice could alike summon the boys who went overseas and the home folks to the common cause of the hour in which both, the legion and the Uni ted Americans have one undivided ln- terest, namely, the preservation and protection of the institutions of this free democratic republic.
 "The high respect which from the start the national committee has had for this state will be greatly increas- ed by the work of this state confer ence."

three partners. The coal industry fur nishes abundant illustration of this truth; the curve of weekly coal pro- duction tells the story of highly irreg- ular operation, and idle plants and idle men are expensive taxes upon the community and the Nation. The ad- vantages of regular employment ac- crue alike to labor and capital; it is
 the years earnings that really count,
 whether it is the dollar or the man
 whose service we thus measure. The
 underlying cause of bad conditions
 in the coal industry is the seasonal 1 fluctuation in demand, which has re-
 suited in the country being over
 equipped with coal mines and coal
 miners.
 The public interest lies in longer
 working year, not in shorter day
 or week. Largely on account of the
 irregular market demand for coal, our
 mines since the armistice have actual
 ly averaged only 30 hours working
 time a week; throughout the year
 there have been too many mines and
 too many miners waiting for work.
 A 3O-hour week is the ailment-not
 the cure.
 A true diagnosis of the financial
 condition of our industry involves
 bookkeeping that states the real econ
 omic symptoms. In mining, as in all
 other productive business, production
 costs should express all the facts. In
 the first place, such terms as met earnings" "profit," "net income, : surplus" or ''balance to surplus ac- !! count" which appear on your finan' , cial sheets, are too optomistic in tone , when the operating costs do not in
 clude any charge on account of the in yestment. The inference is too easily drawn that this surplus is available |, for profit-sharing between labor anc capital.
 5 In the second place, I fear lest ac < counting which does not count all tht ] costs may lead us to fail to appreciat' the results of American engineering l Our mining engineers, backed up D! g -blooded capitalists, are constantl! l lowering labor costs by increasing thu S investment in improved mine' equip a ment. This means replacing the hard l, est part of labor with machinery n working dollars instead of men-s d that your cost-keeping conceals tn r true state of things, if you pay labo r ont of so-called "costs" and capita e out of so-called profits"
 have elsewhere suggested that m j. dustry must have conscience, ire l. spective of the old charge that cor l. norations have no souls. Our minin F, industry can not stand right in tn if eyes of the modern world, unless l. plays fair with the rest of the bushes J. organization. We must try to SC a the other side of the shield, whateve e the transaction with our fellow mel is and I can best illustrate the applies r. tion of the Golden Rule in economic y by citing our relation to the railroad ,e As the railroads largest custome n the mining industry is largely COT d cerned in the solution of the trans
 portation problem now so prominent ,t ly before the American public. It ,t plain that adequate service and 10 Is rates mean much to the health if nc s to the very life of our industry, v ,e even as large buyers of transportatlo
