HOBBY FOR SAVING

PEOPLE BENEFIT BY BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION OF ILL.
NoIS EXECUTIVE.

Gov. Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois
has one hobby In the administration
of public affairs. That is strict econ
omy in the expenditure of the peoples
money. He has given Illinois a bust
ness mans administration.
BY efficient management he was able
to reduce the tax rate In Illinois 80
per cent in two years. thus saving
S4,000,000 annually to the tax pay
ers. Illinois was the only state in
the Union to reduce its tax rate dur
ing the war. In many states taxes
were increased.
While most public executives were
talking about II, Governor Lowden
actually planned and put into effect a
comprehensive reconstruction program
for Illinois year before the armIs-
tice was signed. Governor Lowden
has demonstrated In Illinois that good
government is a profitable investment
for the people. In discussing govern
ment the governor said:
"Our public business Is the most i'm
portant of all our business. We too
often say that our private affairs will
not permit us to interest ourselves In
public affairs. We seem to forget that
If government were suspended for a
single day our private affairs would
be of no moment-that ruin would
rule all about us. But government
is not automatic. Perpetual motion
is an idle dream In government as In
mechanics"

Profteering.

Wholesalers and jobpers are send
ing circular letters to retailers urg-
ing them to increase the price OF
goods, in some cases so to rs per-
cent, but as these wholesalers and
jobbers have millions OF dollars
worth of goods on hand it looks sus-
picious, that they desire to engage in
profiteering, and would like very
much to have retailers rake their
chestnuts out of the fire but most re
talers will not do so, for Uncle Sam
says that the high cost of living must
come down for the benefit of the peo'
pie, especially the poor and needy.

SHORTAGE OF SILVER

''Sver, silver, everywhere, but not enough to go

silver industry of this country at the present time writes

at much higher prices than today there is shortage of

domestic and fOre ign stand point
When the industry enjoying the advantage OF
the high quotations and the demand from Europe was
running into large figures The Far East was asking
for greater amounts of the metal than able to
produce and the metal usually came from ports the
producers here looked for long period of unlimited for
cign demand They looked for the demand to continue,
but much against the dope of the people who follow

of the metal tumbed to the dollar mark at which price

When silver reached this figure there awaited an
order placed by Uncle Sam, whereby be had authorized

THE COPPER SITUATION

the consumer takes far-Sighcd view and looks we'll

THE CANDIDATE

This is the season OF the candidate
He is found i'll every curb in every office, on every
street every signboard, in most newspapers ana in
general conversation.
He is omnipresent.
Partisan blasts of temper and opinion accompany
the candidate 1t may be personally partisan and then
again it may be party division OF sentiment. But hui
beings will take sides and Arizona is exemption
to the rule.
A glance at the political columns of the Review
gives fair indication of the number of men and women
running for office in Cochise county And yet the list IS
not complete.
There is one way the candidate becomes known to
the greatest number of pcOple-to tie votes. 1t IS
through the columns of the newspaper. Gradually the
candidate taking his cue from the merchant is looking
toward the newspaper the proper medium through
which sell himself to the voters. In other
can many readers be reached through the columns
of paper.
On the other hand the partisanship OF newspapers
lis gradually breaking down in directions Most
newspapers their editorial columns for their
opinions The sell their advertising columns inch

Objectionable and ibclouS matter. Otherwise the news
paper has reached the conclusion that it has to
sell the candidate for political pefel1nent. 1t need not
sell its its editorial columns to its advertisers

Is the campaign to its preliminary pause

the declaration of the candidates. They will see. and

NEWsPRINT HAS ADVANCED 500 PER CENT

A current report of the government forest service
