CONSISTENCY


 The democratic state platform, on inee for governor, present secretary of state and principal packer of Billy Moeur and his land-leasing policy, is making the race, contains this signif- icant plank:
 "We commend the administra- tion of the land department of the state of Arizona as having been conducted for the best in terests of the state, it's citizens and its institutions, and in accord with the statutes laid down for it's government"
 We are wondering how many good democrats reconcile this endorsement of Billy Moeur and the state land de- partment with the letter sent to Moeur on May 3rd by three such good democrats as Wiley Jones, Harry Ross and Jesse Boyce, which was a severe indictment of the land depart ment?
 Lest the people of Arizona forget what was in that letter to Moeur from these gentlemen, we will quote few extracts. Here they are:
 Confidential. This is for you alone.
 "The dissatisfaction through out the state, and the numerous complaints coming daily to each of the undersigned against the administration of the state land department, has been borne pa tiently by each of us, with the daily hope of overcoming said complaints.
 "The hope is now abandoned and the complaints against the land department and the actions of some of your subordinates within the past few weeks, have rendered it impossible for us to postpone this letter.
 "The undersigned have consult ed at numerous times together, with the hope that the deplorable conditions existing in the land department might be overcone without the necessity of the re- quest which we now make, but that hope has now been totally overcome.
 "From the foregoing you will understand the necessity now ex- isting, which calls upon us to re- quest your resignation"
 Have Billy Moeur and Ben Clark really reformed or did the land de- partment need liberal coat of white wash?
 The endorsement of the land de- partment, the dummy leasing system, the cancelling of old leases and issu- ing of blanket leases with priorities at cents an acre, the disposal of land for few dollars, which short time afterward brought big figures, and the administration of the land de- partment in the interest of few big holders, is consistent with nomina- tion ofsSimms by the land group. Wiley Jones, Harry Ross and Jesse Boyce were all right in what they said in their famous letter to Moeur, but all save Boyce yielded to the crack of the party whip.

Lord Grey's Eyesight
Reported Nearly Gone

London, Nov. 12.-Viscount Grey's
eyesight is so impaired that he is
unable to see birds and flowers" ac-
cording to a letter which he has writ
ten to the Berwickshire Naturalists
Club declining an invitation to parti-
cipate in one or two field meetings.
He says that although he could see
sufficiently we'll to walk, he was un-
able to see birds or flowers or even a
view and would therefore, be unable
to share the interests of the eXpedi-
ton.
AS Sir Edward Grey, the Viscount
was British Secretary Of State for
Foreign Affairs at the beginning of
the world war and conducted the ne
gotiations with the German govern
ment concerning the possibility of
evading hostilities. He was for a
short time British Ambassador in
Washington in the latter part of last
year. His eyesight has long been
failing.

GRAIN CARS IN
NORTHWEST ARE
BADLY NEEDED
Railroad Commissioners Present
Problem tc Washington
Officials
BISMARCK MEN PRESENT
More U. S. Control is Opposed
in Meetings Before the
Commission
BISMARCK MEN PRESENT

Washington, Novs. -. = Railroad
commissioners from Minnesota, North
Dakota and South Dakota met here
to outline a program for getting more
potato, grain and -four cars in the
Northwest They Will confer with
Colonel Robbins head of the car SER
vice commission, and later present
their grievances before the national
convention of railroad and utilities
commissioners now in session.
Shortage Of Iced Cars I
Commissioner Jacobson of Minneso.
ia said the potato car shortage is Sc
rious in Minnesota. Shippers in more
than a dozen cities have been unable
to get refrigerator cars. He fears
great losses unless the cars are pro-
vided soon
In regard to grain and -four cars
Mr.. Jacobson has reports from the
chief railroads Of the Northwest
which show that only about 25 per
cent: Of the cars being returned to
them are. fit for use. The car service
commission will be urged to require
the repair of these cars before they
are returned to the Northwest roads.
Cars in Bad Order
"We could get along with the num-
ber Of cars we are receiving now if
they only would hold -four and grain,'' ''
Mr.. Jacobson said. Commissioners
Aandahl and Milhollan of North Da-
kota and Raish of South Dakota took
the same position.
While the Northwestern railroad
commissioners are here chiefly to get
relief from the car shortage, they are
devoting considerable time to a dis
cussion Of the one big issue so far as
they are commemorative retention of
their powers to deal locally with the
railroads. 4
Opposition to Esch .,
In the East it has been supposed
the suggestion that Representative
John E. Esch of Wisconsin, be ap-
pointed to the Interstate Commerce
Commission would meet with appov-
al in the Northwest. The opposite is
true, so farNas the state commission
ers from that section are concerned.
1t is not because he is not considered
big enough to fill the bill under the
Cummins- -Esch law. Their grievance
against Mr. Esch is that he sought to
take power away from state commits
sions and give it to the Federal gov
erning body.
More L. $. Control Opposed
The appointment of Escn, these Off
cials feel, would mean that the Re-
publican party indorses the extension
Of Federal control tothe detriment of
state regulation.
The Northwest commissioners are
getting ready to join those Of other
states in an assault on Congress to
get the Cummins-Esch law modified.
Should the supreme court decide ad-
versely in the railroad cases now
pending. the state officials will exert
every influence they can to get back
heir powers.

A part Of the organized labor's own

a. persistent effort has been made
to saddle upon labor the odium Of
opposition to improved methods and
machinery in production Mr.. Com
pers said. "This is not true as Il
general statement. What labor has
opposed is an effort to exploit it by the
use of improvements that are intend.
ed as blessing to mankind. Labor
is rightly suspicious Of changes which
sre introduced without legislation
and whose effect on their welfare is
not considered"
