WOOD SHOULD Be
SOLD BY The CORD

Phoenix, Mar. 15.-Declaring that
the people of Arizona are losing thou
sands of dollars annually Ly failing
to order wood in a definite manner,
State Inspector of Weights and Meas
ures Robert E. Merritt today issued
instructions to patrons of wood yards
which will materially enable them to
eliminate at least a part of the high
cost of fuel.
Misrepresentation on the part of the
purchaser" Inspector Merritt says, is
responsible, in a large measure, for
many of the misunderstanding aris-
ing between wood yards and consum-
ers.
Under the state law" he continued,
wood should be ordered and sold by
the cord, or fractional part thereof,
and should be billed to the consumer
in the same manner. One should get
all he pays for and pay for all he gets.
1t is essential, therefore, that per-
son should order in definite man
ner, in terms of a standard that leaves
no room for quibbling.
Purchasers should not order wood
by the sack by the load or by '$2
WORTH or in similar manner. Such
orders invariably lead to misunder-
standings in view of the fact that they
are ambiguous. The dealer may have
certain amount in mind while the
purchaser may think he is entitled to
more. Ordering by the cord, or frac-
tional part, is the only manner in
which misunderstanding can be sue
cessfully eliminated"
Inspector Merritt has instructed
state wood yards of the laws require
ments and will shortly follow up this
campaign, which he says is of service
to both dealers and consumers, by
personal calls upon wood dealers in
many of the states cities and towns.

WALL STREET SERMONS
(By G. w. Barron)
The lnterdependence of Man

| FeDruary, 1920.
Man is born more helpless than the
| beasts of the field. He is born de-
pendent not only upon his parents,
but upon his fellow man for susten-
ance and protection. Man is there
fore the only progressive animal and
in his dependence upon his fellow is
his path of progress. In other words,
the interdependence of man is the
basis of progress and individual and
collective regeneration.
When Independent, isolated or lost
to all fellowship relation, man falls
| below the brute creation and pro-
crosses only toward insanity. Statis-
tics of mountain sheep herders and
| other classes isolated from human as
sociation show the largest percentage
of insanity.
Soviet Russia
The aftermath of the world war.
the decentralization Of communities.
nations and industries, has revealed.
as nothing else could have revealed,
s, the interdependence of man. The
leaders of BolsheVik Russia now cry
out that 180,0OOOOO Russians on the
greatest agricultural lands in the
world cannot live alone They are
battering the gates of other nations
for recognition abroad Lloyd George
is demanding recognition of Bolshevik
Russia in order that Russia may get
to work and take it's place in furnish
ing one-third of the imported food of
the world. Russia formerly shipped
food from ports on it's north, south,
east and west. Singular as it may
appear, Lenine and Trotzky can boast
the Oldest government in Europe.
Since they came into power all other
European cabinets have been changed.
Idle Factories
In southeastern Europe by the wa
ters of the Danube, in a country once
self-sustaining and well-night inde-
pendent of the world, people are now
starving because mills in perfect con-
dition are idle from lack of raw ma
terial which can be had only from
distant neighbors. There are no ships
to bring them the raw materials to
manufacture and nothing with which
to pay for these goods in the exchange
market of the world. But the exam
| pie of the interdeDendence of man
that strikes most sharply home to the
United States and may strike more
sharply yet is to be found in the
transportation system of the United
States.
Broken transportation
The breakdown in government con-
troll of the railroad organization is not
alone in increased expense, demoral-
lied organization, inefficiency and ir-
responsibility, but the great break
down is in credit.
Labor claims the right to strike and
paralyze the nerve arteries of the
country. The capital (Which is only
the saved labor of the community
that is already invested in the rail
roads cannot strike We may pass
laws denying the right to conspiracy
or to strike on the part of the en-
ployes, but we cannot pass any law
to put labor, without it's sustenance
into railroad operation; nor can we

1t had been thought that the federal
reserve act was to prevent the up
setting of values, American panics and
industrial disorganization. The year
1907 saw collision between credits
and a 25 per cent fxity in bank re-
serves. Washington then legislated
lin practical abolition of Wall Street
bank reserves and set up 35 per cent.
and 40 per cent gold reserves in the
federal reserve system; 40 per cent
under federal reserve notes and 35
per cent gold against all the bank re-
serves which must now be deposited
with the twelve federal reserve banks.
We announced to the world perfect
banking system, the abolition of pan
les, the stabilizing of values.
England Laughs
Europe took notice England ap-
pointed a commission to investigate
her archaic system. Recently a COM
mission reported and two lines were
published in the American papers
which declared the findings of the
commission. 1t could recommend no
changes in the English banking sys-
tenn. England has no panics and no
financial distress.
England last year imported eight
billion dollars worth of goods and
exported four billion-a total foreign
trade of twelve billions. The United
States had an equal foreign trade, but
it was eight billions exports and four
billions imports. In the January fol-
lowing money is 80 per cent on Amer
lean securities, per cent on govern
ment bonds to the small borrower,
and construction capital can be had
only at high rates.
England grants long-term credits
the world around at low rates, while
the United States makes panic rates
for overnight money. The Bank of
England has $500,OOO,OOO in gold. The
Federal Reserve system has $4,000
100000 in gold. The United States
has 35 per cent of the $4,000, 900, 900
world gold and England has less than
10 per cent. But England has no fix
ity of gold reserves, no panics and
sees no lesson for herself in the
American system of panic finance.

American Legion Notes

The dance given by the American
Legion last Wednesday night was
well attended and there was not a
dull minute throughout the entire
evening. The program was brought
into use again and the usual confu-
sion in trying to remember dances
was happily dispensed with, and we
all had a good time.

searchlight and then we'd have to
talk about how good the punch was,
or change the subject, at least.
A dispatch from New York last
week tells us that Samuel Gompers
comes out in favor of the American
Legion. Nothing unusual about that.
If there is anyone who feels differ
emily toward US they manage to main
tain a dignified silence about the
matter.
The jury up at Centralia, Washing
ton, did not agree with counsel for
the nine I. w. WIS on trial for mur-
der, that Armistice Day was the oc-
caslon for open season on ex-service
men, for on that day they fired the
shot heard round the world. What
ever Pickering bit of sympathy or
hope that still remained in the Unit
ed States for the I. w. WIS up to
that time was eternally stamped out
on November 18th, 1919, and those
nine men must pay the penalty. His
tory repeats itself, for they chose the
same day to start something that
they could not finish, that saw the
finish of something which another
organization much like theirs, start
ed, that would have been more pru-
dent had they stayed at home.
seems impossible. To saddle an ad-
ditional debt of two billion dollars
upon the people of this country, al
ready struggling under a war debt
of thirty billion dollars, simply can't
be done. A bond issue at this time
in order to raise the money would
be very unpopular and would probab-
ly fail. If times were better, or if
the burden Of taxation were lighter.
there is no question. but that it would
be done, but under present condi-
tions throughout the country we can
not justify ourselves to pursue the
subject further, for sentiment is
against US. Not because our demand
is unreasonable, but because too
much money has already been wasted
under the present administration, and
the eX-soldier, like many others, has
been left holding the sack. However,
it is long lane that has no turning.
