VOTING

Yesterday two men passed the
crowd in front of the Gazettes bull
Iletin-board. They had some Difficult
ty in forcing their way through the
throng and one said: II can't see
why men are SO interested in poll
tics. Personally, 1 don't care who is
nominated by the Democrats or the
Republicans. I haven't cast a vote
in twenty years and I never expect
to bother my head about voting"
Now that man WIS apparently re-
spectacle, prosperous and to GER
tain extent intelligent. Yet he talked
like a plain. ordinary. unyarnished
fool.
1t is inconceivable that any Ameri-
can should reach mans estate and
take no interest in the. government
under which he enjoys liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. Such men
never reflect that If others looked up
on the subject as they do. such things
as freedom. liberty, equality and JUS
tice would not exist.
1t is the plain, simple duty of every
American citizen to vote as he
honestly believes right, and he is in
deed poor sort Of human jelly-fish
who does not have opinions on mat
ters of political Importance.
The man who does not vote should
regard that as disgrace, and instead
OF boasting of his dereliction to duty.
should blush with shame at its dis
co,'ery.
It is not necessary that the private
citizEn be active in politics-that is.
that he attempt to play a prominent
OF leading part therein-but he owes
it to himself. to his family. to his
home and his country to inform him
self upon public matters and to exer-
else care in his choice of candidates.
And it is just as imperative that he
vpte for those candidates. once he has
fixed upon them.
No man who calls himself a good

GIVE THE WEST A CHANCE

The new water power bill passed
by Congress and signed by the Presi-
dent means wonderful changes in
western industries.
1t means that five transcontinental
railroads would move passenger and
freight trains at greater speed and
less expense.
1t would mean building great fac
tories in all western states and saw
ing the haul on raw material east
and manufactured goo ds west.
1t wuld mean cheaper power for
farmers and fruit growers with
which to put water ON arid lands on
scale that is now impossible.
But all these great possibilities for
the west depend on tile Interpretation
OF the law by the n ational commits
sion that executes tn law.
The rules and reg' llations that are
adopted to put in to operation the
practical details OF the new water
power law should b plain and SIM
pie and not difficult to comply with.

COAL BARONS PASSING THE BUCK

The increased price of coal is now
causing theprice of gas and electri-
city to advance and public and pri-
vate utility corporation feels the
hardship.
The public was led to believe that
the IA per cent increase in coal
miners wages would be absorbed by
the operators of mines but that is not
true.
Coal operators at once began to
bill the public utilities for the IA per
wage advance and municipal and
private. plants met this raise in
miners wages.
In an arbitrary way this wage in
crease is now passed on to the con-
sumer Of gas and electricity, and the
IA per cent raise for miners becomes
tax on the consumer.
Practically ten per cent Of all coal
mined is used to make gas and cleo
tricity current. But why should one
tenth of the coal mined pay the whole
bill
Is it not another case Of the coal
barons passing thebuck to the pub
lie?

A NEW OIL PROGRAM

The Administration has approved
Senator Phelans bill designed to
provide for an adequate future Oil
supply for the United States. the
bill was introduced at the last ses-
sion, and will be brought up again
early in the next session.
John Barton Payne. Secretary of
the Interior, in a report to the Sen
ate Public Lands Committee, en-
dorses the measure. which authorizes
the formation of the United States
Oil Corporation to develop Oil re-
sources Of foreign countries which
will be available when the supplies
become exhausted in this country.
Secretary Payne said in part:
''The purpose of this legislation is
to provide means for further promot-
ing the worldwide search for oil, and
in that purpose heartily accord.
''The public's need for an assured
supply of oil is so great that the
federal government stands back Of
the endeavor to develop foreign
sources of oil to replace in future
what America has exported in the
past"
The Phelan bill provides that the
United States Oil Corporation shall
be controlled by board OF nine di-
rectors appointed by the president.
The corporation can explore, de-
velop, refine, transport and store oil
and its products In foreign countries.
subject to the preferential rights OF
the United States to take all OF the
supply at any time at market prices.
American citizens must own the
majority stock, but foreigners may
hold minority Of the stock.
The capitalization will be deter
mined by the directors, and the cor
poration is forbidden to do anything
in restraint of trade which would in
crease the price of oil.
Secretary Payne in his report adds:
"Our merchant marine will need oil
in all quarters of the world and
American Oil stations are present
day necessity.
Every American company engag-
ed in this pioneering search for Oil.
which meets the international re-
quirements of BUSINESS conduct,
should be given full support by its
Government.
II believe, however. that the au-
thorization of special corporation
along the general lines have in
indicated, will incidentally strength
en- the position of American COM
panies already exploring Oil fields In
other continents. and that 1t is a mat
ter of national concern that their
activity be given all protection and
aid they deserve.

THE AUTOMOBILE MARKET

A short time ago we touched on
asked times innumerable whether
there was going to be a drop on the
automobile market In answer to
these queries we stated that there
was every evidence at that time of
a rising market. Today the evidence
that prices will still go higher is
even stronger than it was then.
That may sound ridiculous to some
readers who have heard vague ru-
mours that local dealers are selling
at cost. and that in some sections Of
the country dealers were reducing
the list price 20 to 80 per cent.
1t may be that one or two local
dealers. hard pressed for money, Of
fered certain cars at COST 1t may
have happened, but If it did it was
merely because money happened to
be tight and it was realized that it
was better to move the cars rather
than let them stand idle. 1t is true,
according to press dispatches, that
cars in other cities have sold at
a reduction; but, and here comes the
|rub-is that healthy business? Is
that logical, and does it sound proper
that automobiles should be sold at a
reduction, when labor. materials and
freight rates are ever mounting?
Ask any dealer in the Southwest
II cars are coming down. He will
tell you without hesitation that he
has just had an advance or he is
expecting one.
The dealers of Phoenix, in spite of
the apparent tightness of money. are
selling their cars on fair and
square basis. They are allowed a
certain discount. varying with the
car, and for them re-discount that
price to the consumer, means finan-
cial ruin. We are sure that a pros
pective purchaser would not be so
foolish as to want to purchase a car
at cost. and force the dealer to the
wall. leaving the man with the car
without an organization behind him
to give him service and guarantee the
good running order of his car.
You can't purchase a standard
make of car at a discount and get
everything you should. II your
friends do the same it is only ques-
ton OF time when there will be no
service organization behind you, and
you are left high and dry.
Automobile men are one variety of
business men who are not profiteer-
ing. They do business on close
margin, considering the limited a.
mount of turnover. and when car
is purchased from a dealer who is
discounting the list price there is
something wrong somewhere and it
would do we'll to use more care than
usual.-Pathfinder.

A MIXING DEVICE

Because of her position in the COM
munity, the teacher is frequently
asked to take charge of, or help ar
range a program of "stunts" suitable
for gatherings of a semi-public ma
ture, where it may be necessary to
break down barriers of reserve by
putting some action into the occa-
sion.
One very successful plan for that
purpose is an animated spelling
match. Two complete alphabets are
made with good sized letters, the
larger, the better. After pinning one
letter to a person, the "alphabets" are
lined up, facing each other. A captain
should be appointed for each side
though it is not strictly necessary
Short words are advisable at first un-
til the plan is understood.
When the word is called, the letters
hurry into place and are not sup
posed to move after the captain
raises his hand. The side that spells
the word correctly, may be given five
points. Care must be taken of course
that the same letter appears but
once in word.
The spelling of fifteen or twenty
words is calculated to create much
enthusiasm, more than sufficient tt
break down barriers of self conscious
ness and to make the work of the so
cial committee much easier.

THIRD PARTY POWER

Apparently insignificant is the way
the average individual interprets the
48-ers third party in session at Chi
cago this week, after reading the
scanty notices given it in the daily
press. And yet this small convention
OF radicals, kickers, idealists-call
them what you will-have within their
grasp the power to influence the COM
ing election just as surely and decisive
ly as did the Bull Moose party in 1912.
However insignificant the third par
ty may appear, should it develop even
the minimum strength expected of it,
the Northwestern vote will be split,
especially in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
North Dakota, where the Nonpartisan
League holds forth. And the nomin-
alton of La Toilette as the presidential
candidate, ,inroads may be made in the
votes of other western states-all OF
which would be to the advantage of
Gov. James M. Cox.
Late advises indicate that while the
Democratic party may invade the
West to certain extent in the coming
campaign, the real fight for votes will
be made in the East with Ohio and
Indiana as the main battle-ground.
thus with the possible exception of
California and Montana the West has
been quietly conceded as going Repub-
lican. New York state will probably
go for Harding also, which should
make honors even between the Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates as
Cox will carry the South as well as his
own state.
Now should the third party spit the
vote of either Minnesota, North Dako-
ia or Wiscor sin-the chances are that
the Republican party will be the heavy
loser since the normal Democratic vote
will more than equal the split vote of
heir opponents. Should the Demo-
Gratis win even two of the three above
mentioned states, Cox would obtain a
comfortable majority of the total elec-
toral votes.
On the other hand should the third
party be sufficiently strong to carry
the three states of Minnesota, Wis
lonsin and North Dakota, the 80 cleo
toral votes which they would thus OBJ
tain would be ample to prevent the
election Of either Cox or Harding. In
this event the whole question would
be thrown into the House of Represen-
tatives for settlement.
Thus while the third party move
llent may be insignificant in it's re-
suit outside of two or three states it
may work potential harm to the Re-
publican party. The results may be as
decisive as were similar conditions in
1912. -..
