SILVER THE WHITE HOPE

SILVER THE Will E 7OFE
 In every western mining state sill yer is the chief hope for a revival in precious metal mining after four years of very scant development, with little or nothing accomplished because of the scarcity of labor and the marked inefficiency of the labor available.
 / Silver had fallen in the London market in 1914 as low as P pence per ounce, and last month was quot ed 66 1-2 pence, or s1.44 per ounce in gold.
 The fact that big Colorado com pany has organized $5,OOO,0OO capi- tai to open a silver mine in Mexico ought to interest American mining law makers.
 New York financial journals advo- cate investments in the western sill yer industry as an opportunity to profit by a worldwide demand for a commodity of which we are the great est producers.
 Every dollar of silver produced is a dollar of new wealth created. Ev- cry dollar of silver exported to meet the demands of other countries is a dollar of new wealth, added to our cur country.
 The bright outlook for silver makes it again fashionable-an permiss ible-to speak hopefully of mining, the ladder by which western states climb ed from the great American desert to promising fields for profitable in vestment.
 The number of mining enterprises at present under way in westerr states, backed exclusively by outside capital-means much for the year: to come, when our spasms of econo mic experiment shall have run theil course and affairs get back to normal

MECHANICAL AGE COMING

Since the armistice was signed, the copper, lead and zinc industry Of the west has suffered due to unsettled world conditions while many less basic inustries have prospered.
 The day is coming however, when the western metal industry will agam hit it's stride for the world demand for these metals will be greater than ever, due to the requirements of the mechanical age which we are just entering.
 The automobile, the tractor, the flying machines, the gas burning marine engines and last and great est, the identification of industry and railroads is going to call for quan titles of copper, zinc and lead never before dreamed of.

RED CROSS SEAL APPEAL

Morenci, Nov. q. TO THE CITIZENS tiF GREENLEE COUNTY:
 It has been decided by the Arizona Association to start the annual drive to procure funds for the alleviation of those afflicted with this dreadful disease.
 The drive, or campaign, will be conducted December list to 10th, in elusive. MT. Jos. P. Hodgson, of Morenci, has been appointed Chair man of this cmpaign for Greenlee County, and he has appointed the following gentlemen to serve as Chairmen in their respective locali- ties:
 W. B. Lutz, for Morenci.
 Peter Riley, for Clifton and Blue. C.. A. Goggin, for Metcalf.
 w. T. Witt for Duncan and Frank lin.
 Mrs. Jessie Billingsley, will have charge of rural schools and communi- ties outside of the places named where the other Chairmen have juris- 1 diction.
 These gentlemen have all consented to serve in this capacity, and the County Chairman hereby makes an appeal to every citizen and resident of the district to make some contri- button, however, smtll, to this very worthy cause. When we understand that more people die from tubercu losis yearly than we lost men in ou1 war with Germany, we begin to ap preciate the danger of this disease The total amount to be raised through out the State is $75,000.00 and the quota for Greenlee County is $5000 This is a comparatively small sum if every one would contribute accord ing to his or her ability.
 Let us get together on this matter and put Greenlee county Over The Top. We have never failed yet il these drives, and your County Chair man is confident that the good citi zens of the county will make thi: drive a success.

WHEN THE GIANT STIRS
Senger.

When the lion roars the lesser ami self preservation extends even to the lower kingdom.
 When the giant stirs the midget trembles and turns to flight. One sweep of that mighty arm means eX- termination to all within it's reach.
 In our country we nave the great est of all giants. For centuries he has been peacefully sleeping, but to- day he is beginning to stir.
 This giant is the American farmer, the one man of earth upon whom all the world depends for it's very exist ence
 Capitalistic profiteers have gouged him until his hide resembles a seive. i Labor agitation and strikes have cur tailed his legitimate activities until his exasperation has reached the |
 point of explosion.
 But the giant is calling halt. He has grasped his club of war and is going into action.
 A new organization for farmers has been created. It is the American Federation of Farm Bureaus. It pro- poses to be to. the farmer what the American Federation of Labor has been to the cause of union labor.
 Its object is to protect the farmer and the average American citizen from the injustices of capital and labor. In this it will undoubtedly have the sympathy and coon.ration of that large class of people who are neither capitalists nor 'unionists, who now are at the mercy of both.
 The, new federation will not use bombs or other like means of destruc- tion. It will not use physical force or intimidation of any nature.
 It will use horse sense and persua- sion where persuasion will accomp-
 fish the desired results.
 It may resort to the ballot where
 other means fail.
 The farmer wants a fair price fol
 the uroducts of his soil He wants
 the ultimate consumer to receive
 these products at an equally fail price. without enriching horde O.
 useless and.unscrupulous middlemen
 spectators and profiteers. If all of the farm societies anc clubs are amalgamated into one grea central organization similar to tht , American Federation of Labor-its , power will be so tremendous that n' ; interest and no person can political 2 lv or commercially survive it's dis : pleasure.
 l. Its millions of votes could elect an, l or all government and state officials - it coud dictate every act of con j. gress-it could place its own judge
 on the bench-it could send it's owl l. men to congress and the state legis l. lature-it could have only such law d as those it might originate and al t prove.
 If this new organization follow ;, out it's announced plan of looking a f ter the interests of those of the pee ple who are now between the col o poration and the labor unions, tn r. profiteers and the agitators may we
 take to cover
 l. A nemesis will soon be on thei u trail, and it's mercy is as yet an LII n known quantity.

WAGES AND PRODUCTION.

Trade unionists headed by Mr..
Gompers. say that wages must stay
up-in fact, go up-because living
costs are high. Manufacturers and in
dustrial directors say wages must
come down before prices can be re-
duced. By both the trade unionists
and the industrial directors wages
are considered solely with reference
to price. Because wages are high
prices must be high, and when prices
go higher wages must go higher, in
an endless circle,
Following this process there has
been a more general and rapid adj
vance in wages than has ever occurred
before, and judging by the expendi-
lures among all classes, and by the
signs of higher standard Of living,
this wage advance has pretty well kept
pace with the cost of necessities.
Wages have been adjusted to prices
more readily than any one supposed
they could be, and it is now time to
consider another element in the deter
mnation of the wage scale
Wages ought not to be referred ex-
clusively TO prices They should bear
some reference to production. An in
crease in wages should mean some
increase in production. Wages are
TOO high when they do not give pro-
duction, and too low when they do
not permit a respectable standard of
living and opportunity for the wage
Garner to lay aside something for the
future when he may not be able to
work.
High production should mean high
wages; low production, low wages.
This would be fair formula reward
ing the efficient and stimulating the
inefficient to greater productivity.
If the wage a man receives does not
increase with his capacity to produce,
then there is something wrong. The
doctrine of limited output encourages
stacking on the job.
When a man increases his capacity
TO produce there ought to be no arti-
fetal restriction on his work or his
wages. Wages must be related to
production as well as to prices, if we
are 10 get out Of our present Industrial

THE HGn COST or LIVING.


Paul Findlay Of Los Angeles 'mer-
chandiser' for the California Fruit
Growers association, delivered an adj
dress last night at the Y NJ c. A.
which should have been heard by ev-
cry citizen of New Mexico. 1t dealt
in facts. in reason and in experiences
with the trade, which cannot be gain
said.
Mr.. Finday shows that the high cost
of living is mainly due to .hree things:
The high cost of labor the lower
ing of production and the individual
demand on the part Of the sonsumer
for more expensive goods than he was
formerly accustomed to buying. The
man who was satisfied with a Ford a
few years ago now wants Cadillac
or Packard, and he generally finds
the money to pay for it,
The woman who formerly was quite
willing 10 wear cotton stockings now
insists upon wearing silk ones. The
families who drank no coffee except
Arbuekles cheapest now are not sat
isfied with anything cheaper than
white House" These are facts which
the public must consider The public
is TO blame for its own folly.
Ii is insisted that the merchant
should sell his goods on the basis Of
what they cost him instead of upon
the basis of replacement For eX-
ample If sugar cost the merchant ten
cents pound the opinion persists that
he should sell on the basis of that
particular purchase, even when know
ing that the cost of his next purchase
of sugar should he fifteen cents Il
poa4iG. An of which sounds very we'll.
But, let us suppose that the merchant
buys at fifteen cents--he must keep
his stock up-and the market then de-
clines to ten cents, who is going 20
make up the merchants loss? Mer-
chahdise must be sold on the basis
of cost of replacement, or the mer-
chant win go into bankruptcy.
That there has been profiteerng,
there can be no doubt But it has
been through conspiracy in restraint
of trade, and manufacturers agree-
ments have been the methods en-
ployed in most instances. Such con-
spiracies can be reached by the law
and punished. 1t is very doubtful,
Notwithstanding the department Of
justice to the contrary. If profiteering
can be punished where conspiracy is
not shown.
Another thing the public should
consider is that the people of this
country are making their purchases
in the face of bids for the same goods
from the peoples of destitute Europe.
If the producer here can get one dollar
for his goods from European buyers,
he is not going to accept ninety cents
at home. That is human nature and
always has been, and probably always
will be.
Before there is any considerable re-
duetion in the cost of living there
must be increased production. That
is the law and the gospel of the pres
ent situatin.
