DRAGGING DOWN

The Reds have decided to abolish money then, of course, there can be no predatory wealth." everyone will have all they need we suppose just going to the high Pooh Bans, who- ever they are and demanding what they want Probably good deal like our present poor farm system, but it will be up to the supervisors, or the duly elected Pooh Bans under the Red sys- tenn, to produce the goods. How they are going to get the goods to produce, is of no consequence They will be elected for that purpose, but possi- ply with authority to take it from the rich but, on second thought, there ain't going to be any rich to commence with-all are required to be poor. In fact they will be made poor first, or the system wouldn't work Then when all are poor and feel that it is beneath them to work, we pre- sume the next step will be to send out appeals for help to the fool peoples of other countries who have not discovered the wonderful workings of their new system
 This wonderful new system" is not new in this country. It has been worked on street cor ners and at back doors for good many years However, never until the last few years has any of that society been sufficiently strong to try to organize whole nation along those lines. Ma tions are just as selfish as individuals If you don't happen to know nations, you certainly know individuals, so start to count from those you know.
 When the bolsheviks have reduced the rest of the world to their level, then, and only then, will their plan of government be success.

NO ARIZONA RESERVATIONS

We believe thoroughly with The Tucson Git izen that it does not make much difference just who rules the postoffce at Glory Gulch, but that it does make great deal of difference as to who rules or attempts to rule the republican party in the state of Arizona. However, we do not think that money ever bought brains or loyalty; it may have purchased clerical service and when that service has been bought and paid for the repub- lican party does not look upon them as those who have brought great help to the party through fealty and a thorough belief in the principles of that party. The Sun believes that the party is, and always has been, made up of men whose loyalty and honesty of purpose could never be questioned men who paid their own way and whose loyalty could not be shaken by any petty advantage of one over another The hard rock miner and the lumberiack, the rancher and the stockman, the men who do their daily labor hon. estly, all claim part in the victory in Arizona, not as republicans or as democrats; not as those who may be temporarily in power, but as men and human belngs, all of whom must be account ed for in the general makeup of one party or the other The Sun thoroughly believes that the whole people of Arizona were responsible for the republican showing in the last election and the whole people, regardless of party, are looking to the republican party to justify them in the stand they took
 The people want the political game" played right out square in the middle of the road, and that's what they voted for. If there were any reservations" the people didn't know it/

OUR STATE FAIR

Press dispatches from some one who seems to be an authority for the general feeling in Phoenix, says that the state fair has not been profitable to Phoenix and is only an expense to that city. The statement goes on further and says that there are very few people who attend the fair from outside Maricopa county and that those who benefit are only the hotels and restau rant keepers, but the rest of the business inter- ests are paralyZed.
 While we were inclined to believe at first that there might be some way of correcting existing conditions and make the state fair something of value to the state, this statement, made with evident authority coincides with the opinion of Governor Campbell after an investigation, or at least report from competent sources.
 The state has made appropriations through the legislature, of large sums to purchase the state fair grounds, and each legislative year, has appropriated additional sums running from $1O,- 900 to S2OOOO to help build up fair that proves now to be only detriment to the state and to the city of Phoenix.
 We believe, under existing circumstances, that the coming legislature should appoint joint committees to appraise the value of the states holdings in lands and buildings. On the findings of this committee offer it for sale to the highest responsible bidder and sell. The funds derived from this sale to be equally divided among the different counties of the state for the purchase of lands and improvements to be used for county fair purposes. Each county would receive it's prorata share paid into the state and could de- velop county fair in the best interests of their own county If it was found advisable after this development, the duly authorized county repre- sentatives of the county fairs of the state might decide upon district fairs at places designated by them An arrangement of this kind would put the exhibitions made on their merits and evolve a plan whereby the entire state would be repre- sented by it's own products and it's own people, rather than sideshows of foreign gasoline prod ucts and foreign spectacular stunts.
 Hundreds of people would have gone to the state fair at Phoenix, if they had any idea that they could have secured decent accommodations at any reasonable price. If they did not care to see the fair, they wanted to meet their friends, but what was the use? Phoenix is nothing but an overgrown village-so is Flagstaff. If you have to live like prairie dog, why not stay at home?

Punishment as penalty for crime and the cus-

Punishment as penalty for crime and the cus- tom of giving petty offenders "foaters" has never appealed to most people as proper meth cd of enforcing the law. Turning criminals loose on other communities only adds that much to the sum total of crime. If crime has been committed and the person found guilty, he should be punished according to law instead of using unlawful makeshfts to get rid of him. The GUS tom is nationwide and only makes for the ulti- mate breaking down of all system of laws. If laws are not good, repeal the laws instead of "repealing' the criminal.

It is claimed that an effort will be made to unseat State Senators-elect Burton and Morgan, of Yavapai county, by the democrats, who claim Morgan did not sign his petition for nomination as he was over in France; that Burton had taken the name of an uncle when small boy. If the attempt is made both of them will be sent back with good deal larger majorities than they re- ceived the first time.

If those who are most directly benefited by good roads would take the same financial inter- est in helping to get them that they do when they are gotten, it would be very much easier to get them in the first place. Good roads now are just as essential to the growth and prosperity of the country as were the first railroads that made their way through the country.

If there is one thing more than another the people of the country are interested in now, it is a readjustment of the mutitudinous tax laws. They are looking to the republicans to smooth out some of the bad wrinkles and produce such a law that will not put all the income tax in one place and do away with many of the petty an- noyances now imposed on small business men.

by a delegation Of Sank Centre,
Little Sank and Round Prairie bust
ness men and farmers on Wednes-
day. State Engineer Cleveland YVES
present at this meeting, and al
though he took no part in the dis
cussion of the project, he gave sn
estimate on the costs of part of the
undertaking.
A question which the board were
a bit skeptical about, was that of
the construction of a bridge across
Sank Lake at the "Narrows" near
Sank Centre. This bridge, according
to Engineer Cleveland, will cause an
expenditure of approximately $4,000
and this the board fel, is too large.
However, the question of finances
for this project does not not entirely
lay with the commissioners, and is a
matter merely of recommendation by
them to the state highway commits
sion.
The Todd county commissioners
will look over the proposed route on
Oct. 6.

Steinbauer has been under obser-

to have carried on an illicit liquor
trade ever since the enforcement OF
the liquor laws.
He was placed under arrest and
taken to Fergus Falls where he fun
ished bond to appear at a later hear
ing.
The raids made here last week, are
according to the officials, only the
fore-runner of what is to come. Of
fcers believe that there are num-
Der of moonshine establishments in
this vicinity and are only abiding
their time before making a complete
roundup of the whole layout.

GRAB MOONSHINERS
FIND TWO COMPLETE STILLS
ON PREMISES OF RAY STRA-
TONS NEAR MELROSE
LOCAL MAN In TROUBLE
JOHN STEINBAUER ALLEGED
TO HAVE PEDDLED LIQUOR
ARRESTED FRIDAY

Two complete stills, $50 gallons of
mash and an amount of liquid "evi-
dence' were found on the Ray Stra-
ton farm about ten miles from Sank
Centre Friday afternoon, and Ray
Straton alleged moonshiner was
placed under arrest by federal Off
GERS.
The raid was made following an in
ypection of the territory by represen-
tatives of the government and with
the aid of Chief of Police Joe Miller
of Sank Centre.
Straton, when arrested, denied all
connection with the stills, saying
that the building in which the out
fit was found was not his property
and that he knew nothing of the
manufacture of liquor or operation
of the stills.
The mans plea however, fell light
ly on the ears of the hounds of JUS
tice," and he was taken to Fergus
Falls where he was given hearing

trial. Straton furnished bond and
returned to his home Saturday.
Officers who made the raid on the
Straton farm, say that little or no
precaution was used in the operation
of the stills.
The equipment was located in an
old building within 100 yards of the
Straton home. This layout, officials
says, consisted of two complete stills
located on the first floor of the build
ing and within easy reach of the
highway. The still could easily be
detected, oders of near liquor having
hoated to the highway on every
breeze.
John Steinbauer, alleged bootleg
ger, was arrested at his home in
Sank Centre on the same day. The
arrest was made at the Steinbauer
home where officers found an as
sortment of liquor and a contingent
of "dead soldiers" whose presence
gave evidence of recent conflict.
The layout in the possession of Mr..
Steinbauer according to officers pres
emit, was one five gallon jug con-
tanning about gallon of liquor; one
full quart of moonsEne; one half
pint bottle about half full and four
