JUSTIFICATION FOR PRICES

Some dealers who are criticised on
the charge of profiteering, justify
their prices on the ground that they
"can get it." Apparently they think
it is fair for them to ask any price
that the public is willing to pay.
AS correspondent wrote in an ex-
change, the man who owned good
fire engine could get almost any price
for the use of his machine if it was
needed at fire. But that would not
prove that high charge was fair.
The real justification for a price is
what it costs to produce and distri-
butte an article, including moderate
return to the producer and distribut-
or.
A great many of the charges now
being charged go far beyond this
standard of comparison. They include
a speculative profit. The people are
getting tired of enriching spectators.

The Industrial Bulletin of the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company gives us
interesting data and might be con-
strued as to have a great deal of bear
ing on the high cost of your fuel
bill. At the Morley camp of the com
pany SO miners working more than
20 days earned nearly $3.50. Four of
the number did receive the fabulous
sum. In the entire camps of the com
pany nearly 40 men earned the high
salary, and the majority made from
5000 to 1925. Pretty fair salary for
foreigners to draw down! Is it any
wonder that our prices paid for coal
are so heavy.

LEGISLATURE IS
GETTING DOWN
TO HARD WORK
Especial to the Copper Camp

Especial to the Copper Camp
PHOENIX, Jan. 25.-Close of the
second week of the legislative session
finds the solons getting down to hard
work on a number of important meas.
ures, important among which are pro.
visions for the construction of good
roads throughout the state OF Arizona
and employment and, possibly, lands
for returned soldiers. Other meas.
ures on the program include some &C
ton with reference to the commission
of state institutions, with possible
substitution of the old board of con-
troll plan, and recodification of the
existing election laws.
One of the most important bills in
troduced in the house this week was
brought in Friday by Representative
Coleman of Pinal county, providing
for the state guarantee of land titles
and adoption of the Torrens system.
Pinal county's representatives are
hard at work on the various commit
tees Of which they are members. Sen
ator Devine as member of the i'm
portant appropriations committee and
chairman of the mines and mining
committee of the senate, as well as
member of a number of other import
ant committees, is busy with the pre-
liminary work which must be done on
the measures referred before they
come before the senate committee OF
the whole. Representative Coleman
in the house is in a similar situation,
and as chairman of the agriculture
and irrigation comittee has large
amount of hard work ahead.
There are already forty bills intro
duced in the house and half that num-
Der in the senate. There are num-
Der of important good roads measures
already in the hopper and more are
expected Land for returned soldiers,
exemption OF their property from TAX
alton, if same does not exceed $4,000,
burial of INDECENT soldiers, their wives
and mothers by the state, are among
the proposals. The house has already
passed a bill providing for state burial
of INDECENT soldiers.
The special committee appointed to
investigate the Northern Arizona Nor
NAL school, of which Senator Devine
is member, has not yet filed it's re-
port with the senate, but there are in
timations that when the report is
forthcoming it will not be lacking in
interest. In fact, it is expected to be
one of the sensations of the season.

WOULD AMEND
CLAUSE TN jNATU-
REALIZATION LAW

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 24-Believ-
ing that the strict Interpretation of
the witness clause in the naturaliza.
tion laws defeats the end which it was
intended to achive and also imposes
an injustice upon aliens desiring to
become citizens of this country, Nat
Mckee, clerk of the federal court here,
is endeavoring to bring about re-
form. In this effort he is enlisting
the support of Carl Hayden, Arizona S
representative in congress.
The Objectionable feature, accord
ing to Mr.. Mckee, who has had ex.
tensive experience in this work, lies
in the limitation of witness. Under
the present law, an applicant for citi-
zenship may bring up but two wit
nesses to prove the required five-year
residence.
Numerous cases have arisen where
there was not the slightest doubt that
the residence period demanded had
been served, but through the inability
of the applicant to- produce two peo-
pie who could each certify to his con-
tinued residence for five years, the
desired boon was withheld.
At the present time there are two
instances of this nature pending
awaiting a decision. In one case the
applicant was employed in an occupa-
ton which required his presence at
various points within the state at GER
tain intervals. During the course of
the past five years he has resided
variously at Mesa, Gilbert, Phoenix
and Tempe. By an interlocking chain
of testimony he could easily prove the
necessary continuous residence. AS it
is, he is unable to procure two wit
nesses who can each swear of their
own knowledge that the requirement
has been met.
The other case is that of a rancher
who was employed at Casa Grande for
three and one-half years. At the end
of that time he purchased a farm at
Alhambra, where he has been living
for the past two years. By virtue OF
the change he, too, is unable to legal
ly prove his residence.

IS
SILVER KINGS
new PROGRAM

A comprehensive development pro-
gram, to be carried out in the near
future, was decided upon at the an
nual meeting OF stockholders of Silver
King of Arizona, held at Phoenix re-
Gently. : Important among the steps
contemplated in the development of
! Silver King are the sinking of a 1000
foot shaft. installation of a 50O-ton
mill and electrification of the mine
and plant throughout.
The annual election of directors re-
suited in the election of the following
board of directors: A. w. Hillebrand,
George D. Christy. W. F. Ainsworth.
w. w. Lawhon and John Fowle. Mr..
Hillebrand is president Of the Silver
King company, Mr.. Ainsworth is Sec
retary and Mr. Fowle is superintend-
ent of the property. Mr.. Christy is a
prominent Phoenix attorney, and Mr..
Lawhon, the new member of the board
of directors, is a well-known Arizona
mining man.
Work on the new shaft at Silver
King, it is expected, will be COM
menced within the next thirty days.
An examination of the property by
competent mining engineers led to the
recommendation to sink to the 1000
level in order to expedite the handling
of ore, as we'll as to reduce operating
costs. With 1,000-foot shaft Silver
King will be able to operate at a
maximum of efficiency and mini
mum of expense.
AS soon as the 1,000-foot shaft is
completed, it is stated, an increase in
the milling capacity to 500 tons will
be justified. It is expected that a
mill of that capacity will be installed
and placed in operation coincidental
with the completion of the new shaft,
which is to be sunk near the side line
of the property.
Electrification of the Silver KING
plant throughout is another item of
the Silver King program which spells
big development for the Ray-Superior
district. Decided economies in the
handling of the large tonnage already
developed will be effected by this in
stallation.

Mrs. Smith deserves much credit
for her untiring efforts in connection
with this work, as 1t has been OF in
estimable value to the soldier boys in
Europe and America to receive these
comforts. There was hardly a month
passed, from the time they left Ray.
that something was not sent to some
of the boys and most of the time all
of them received something. This Is
the kind of work, on the part Of the
women of Ray and others throughout
the country that was the means OF
creating morale in the United States
army and navy, and which proved OF
such great value at the critical mo-
ment, the turning of the tide at Cha
teau Thierry.
