an open season on bears. e. P. Ray
mond of Taylor county, sheep raiser,
came to the finance committee with a
claim of $4,177 for sheep scattered
and destroyed by bears in Taylor coun-
ty. He said that, inasmuch as the
state protected the bear from slaugh-
ter, they were the property of the
state-its pets, and the state was re-
sponsfDTe for any damage they might
do. The legislature will probably ap-
prove payment of his bill.
The state highway committee was
told by Senator HazelwOod that the
bane of the state highway was the I'M

The assembly cut down the order for
printing 10000 copies Of Senator Will
cox's report on how to meet anarchism,
because of Assemblyman Donnelly's
charge that the report was being used

assembly, and Wilcox is a senator,
there was no opportunity for retOrt
by the former candidate for governor.

sembly on the Conner amendment to
the resolution creating a special COM
mittee on drainage. The Conner

appoint committeeman.

To LegaIize Party Conventions.

Changes are proposed in the pri-
mary election law. Assemblyman w.
B. Chilson, Merrill, will offer bill for
the legalizing of party conventions. 1t
will follow the lines advanced by Gov
ernor Philip in his message to the
legislature. Under this plan the pri-
mary would be used to elect delegates
to a party and state convention. The
convention of these delegates would
then naminate the state officers and
decide on the party campaign. Mr..
Chilsen claims that many men without
merit are able to get into Office under
the present free-for-all plan and that
his bill will make it a strictly party af-
fair. It is going back in a measure to
the old caucus system.

To Be A NATIONAL

Wickenburg Is Accepted AS a
Landing Station On the Air
Line Transcontinental Mail.

A letter received on Xmas by
Mayor Miller establishes the fact
that this city's recent offort to es-
tablish an aerial station for the
National Air Lines Association
have borne fruit.
The route is already in opera
ton from San Francisco and Los
Angeles to Coachella, California.
Thence the proposed line comes
east to Blythe, Wickenburg and

Los Angeles, Dec. "a
John Miller, Mayor Wickenburg;
Dear Sir; Relative to the subject of
establishing an official landing station
at Wckenburg on the transcontinental
air line which we are completing be-
tween New York and Los Angeles, wish
to advise that after considerable pre-
liminary negotiations and careful study
of latest meteorological maps and re-
greatest authorities in this country on
that subject, we have definitely decided
to make routing by way of Wicken
burg. The inclosed blue print shows
clearly the points which will he touched
Our Captains Mac Kela and Russell
have left Los Angeles for the purpose
of making final arrangements for the
esta adjustment of these official stations
and will arrive in Wickenburg very

upon you and we will appreciate any
assistance or courtesy you may be abe
to extend to them. They have full au-
thority to make final decisions in the
name of the association, and any per-
manent arrangements whlce are made
with them will be ratified by this office
We hate an official plane which i'll
visit your city shortly after the arrange
ments are made, inaugurating the field
and making an exhibition flight. This
will afford an excellent opportunity for
those persons living in or near Wicken-
burg who have never had an opportun-
ty of seeing plane close up to make
an examination and see the construc-
tion of late model aeroplane. We
would like to see considerable interest
shown in this event and would be glad
to have as many as possible to make
visit to the landing field on the day or
days which the plane will be at your
city. Yours very truly,

SECRETARY WILSON DUTY.

Secretary of Labor Wilson, acting in his official capac-
y and backed by the approval of the entire cabinet
has invited the leaders of the United Mine Workers and
the coal operators to Washington for conference in the
hope that he may induce them to reach an amicabe
adjustment of their dispute and thus obviate the threat
ened strike in the bituminous coal fields November
While the prospect is not encouraging from the stand
point of the public obviously it is the duty of the head
of the Department of Labor to exercise such influence
he may WELD in the interest of peace
Secretary Wilson, himself coal miner before he was
elected to Congress previous to entering the cabinet
confronted with stern responsibility 1t is probable
that he retains his union card and that his sympahies
lie with the who toll below the surface of the earth
in dangerous and hard vocation Therefore, it may not
be pleasant for him to emphasize to his former
that in demanding scale at this time under threat
of strike they deliberately violating a sacred con
tract entered into with the operators under the approval
of the Federal government 1t may be easy task for
him to point out to them that the scale under which
they working continues in force until peace has
been declared until March ST. 1920 and that if they
repudate it they will be doing most serious injury to
the cause of organized labor and will make joke of
the demand of labor for the right of collective bar
gaining
And yet this is clearly the duty of Secretary Wilson
The contract between the miners snd operators is valid
is atested by Dr. Garfield former Federal fuel admin
strator who participated in its negotiation Wha the
fuel m.nstraton func ing efforts to abrogae
it were blocked by DR.. Garfield Secretary Wilson's for
mer fellow workmen upon the verge of making al
great mistake, one which not only will tarnish the es-
cucheon of organized labor but also will impose suffering
and hardship upon the public and it is his duty to tell
them SO.
