Berlin.-The arrest of Max Hoelz
several days ago in Bohemia, closes
one of the most romantic CHAPTERS in
the history Of revolutionary Germany.
1t is also one Of the most significant
chapters, for it shows how communist
doctrines work out practically when
held by criminal Of exceedingly err

If be but throw the charmed halo of
socialism about his head, and how
weak socialist government is in deal
ing with such a situation.
HoeIz suddenly appeared upon the
German armament at the time Of the
kapp adventure and he was soon
registered by newspapers as a star
Of the first magnitude. But he had
a previous history. Last year, he had
played az Prominent,part in Spartarlst
turbulence In the Vogtland, as the,
southern part of Saxony is called.
When the military moved into the
region and the situation grew serious
Hoelz decamped in good time, leaving
his followers in the lurch. These lat
ter. were captured and were In prison
since then. awaiting trial toward the
end Of March. Hoelz was meanwhile
living in @6ucealment somewhere in
northern Germany
But bis opportunity to rehabuitate
himself arrived when Kapp held sway
In Berlin. At Plauen, chief town of
the Northumberland for it's manufac-
lures Of lace and embroideries- the
Reichswehr, or national troops,
showed signs Of waverlng and going
over to Kapp This caused trouble
with the working population and
clash seemed inevitable. But the milf
tary was withdrawn. That was Hoelz's
opportunity. He was apparently hold
ing himself in readiness just behind
the scenes, for the next night he ap-
peared in Plauen.
Frees Followers in Prison.
Gathering together a handful Of his
former follOwers-they still had faith
In him, for the man has a dangerous
gift Of voluble and fiery rhetoric-he
stormed the prison the next morning
at dawn and liberated his IS accom-
plices Of last year. Then they hetook
themselves to the prosecuting attor-
ney hauled him out of bed and de-
manded the documents in the cases
against these liberated prisoners. He
was not able at once to produce them,
md so they carried him off as hostage
to Falkensten, a town about Is
miles to the east. Here Hoelz seized
the old castle of Baron Trutzler Won
Falkensteln, dismissed the baron, and
made It his seat of government for
the following four weeks. BY the aft
ernoon the prosecuting attorney had
thought better Of the matter and had
the documents produced Hoelz burned
them in his presence and then dis
charged his hostage.
THEN Hoelz inaugurated his com
munist regime with a series Of high
handed rascalities. He dismissed city
officials or drove them out of town.
He levied upon manufacturers and re-

band made tncursions upon neigh

US. POPULATION
Is los MILLIONS

Washington, Oct. 9.--The bulk of
its work completed, the Census Bu-
reau at o'clock this afternoon will
announce the total number of inhabi-
tants in continental United States.
Indications are that the complete
census, the fourteenth in the coun-
try's history, will show a total pop
ulation for the United States, exclus-
i've of insular possessions, Of approx
mately 1O5, 100000. Nearly 1885,
900 persons are estimated to be living
| in island possessions making a total
of ll7,950,000 persons. under the pro-
lection of the stars and stripes.
/ These estimates are based on re-
cent official announcement that the
census when IS per cent complete,
gave a population of 9O,5s6,742 for
that proportion of the country.
The relative growth of the nation
from 1900 to 1910 was 81 per cent
but this rate is expected to be cut al
least 10 per cent this year, chiefly
census bureau officials say, through
stoppage of immigration during tbs
war and by the heavy emigration dur,
ing that period.
One of the striking developments Of
this years census was the relativ,
growth of cities and industrial cen
tiers as compared with the farming
regions. Rural growth in the last ter
years was only one-third as great al
1t was in the previous decade, Will,
the cities nearly maintained thei
l900-10 rate of growth.
The census bureau to date ha
spent 40 weeks in supervising the en-
umeration and tabulation of the coun
try's millions. A similar period clap
sed before the eountry's populatio
) was made public in 1910. This year

On The Trains

It was left for the brains in the
head Of a former Columbian, and a
man well known in this city, to ad-
vance the latest idea in connection
with moving pictures.
Mr.. J. P. Billups, who frequently
visits Columbus, conceived the idea Of
putting movies on the trains,
He is general passenger agent
Iof the Atlanta and West Point rail-
road and announcement has gone out
from his office that patrons of his
road on long trips viii have the
|monotony of a long journey broken
and they will be refreshed and regal
ed and entertained with motion pic
lures on board the trains.
Here is what Mr.. Billups has to say
on the subject:
I'VE can entertain and educate
these passengers all the way from
New York to New Orleans. This is
our plan and purpose: A man viii
board the train in New York; as he
passes through Virginia he is shown
the tobacco industry; as he passes
through the Carolinas he sees pictures
of cotton and corn, cotton mills and
grain elevators, and so on to Louis
lana, where we will show him sugar,
lumber, and 50 forth. When the man
reaches his destination he will know
more about the South than he coulC
learn in twelve months otherwise

however, all minor figures which has
charge of civil divisions or incorpor-
ated places, of each state, will have
been made public with the announce
ment Of the United States total, while
in 1910 the Census Bureaus objective
was to arrive at the total as soon as
possible leaving five states and their
county civil divisions to be announced
later. The work of the thirteenth
census did not begin until April 8 and
ended December 10, 1910.

to settlement by bona fide homeseek- CTS. It reads in full as follows: "The farmers of Arizona are ex- plotted even more than the wage workers by the manipulating of prices of cotton and other farm products to the extent of millions of dollars. The cotton acreage of Marocipa county was 91,O00 acres with the average yield of POS pounds per acre for which the average price the farmers receiv- ed was roc per pound, amounting to $13,249,6 When the cotton was all brought in and ginned the price at once went to $1.20 a pound, making a profit of $9,464 ,000 for the cotton spectators in the course of few months.
 Be it resolved that we recommend the enactment of law creating state warehouses for the storage of said products, on which loan of 75 per cent of the market price can be obtain ed, the money to be provided for by a special act of the legislature or from the state land fund at five per cent in- terest. This will enable the small farmer to put in his next crop, have the benefits of the profits of his pro- duce, which means a higher standari for the American farmer"

PRESBYTERIANS TO LEAVE
 INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT

Support of the Presbyterian church in the United tSates of America was withdrawn from the Interchurch World Movement, but it was decided to continue the New Era Movement and cut the annual budget from $900,- 900 to $400,000 at it's session of the general assembly in Philadelphia.
 In its action on the Interchurch World Movement the general assem- bly, adopted the new plan of the ex- ecutive commission providing for con- tributions of S100,O0O for the ensuing year to the movement "when properly organized" to be used for the payment of its current operating expenses as a growing concern for that period and for no other purpose.

grounds that similar concern had last year made IT per cent profit, that the holders of its common stock had made profit of more than 1000 per cent, that all such concerns were mak- ing enormous fortunes" for their stockholders, their shares selling at L. 800 per cent premium, and that this particular corporation was likely soon to increase it's present earnings by more than 300 per cent.
 Senator Capper was speaking in fa- vor of putting heavy retroactive tax upon these profiteers, with which to pay a billion or two dollars bonus to the soldiers of the war. In that we are unable to agree with him. But we cannot see how any fair-minded man can help agreeing with him most em- phatically as to the iniquity of such profteering and the desirablity-the necessity-of abating it for the public good. It is simply infamous that ra- pacious corporations should be permit ted to opress and plumber the public and to "get away with it."
 It is an abominable thing thus to have the cost of living to the general public enormously increased, just for the sake of increasing the dividends of corporations from a reasonable and ungrudged eight, ten or fifteen per cent, to 300 per cent or more. Yet even such footing of the public is not the worst of it. Far worse is the dis credit which it brings upon the gov enment and upon democracy itself. People say-and we can scarcely cen- sure them for saying it-that gov enment which countenances such ex- tortion fails to serve; and some of them add-absurdly, of course-that we could not be worse off, and might be better off, under a soviet. Thus the profteers are not merely plunder- ing the people. They are engendering and fostering bolshevism, communism and all the malign forces of discontent and revolution.
The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04

All candidates for public office who seek the support of union labor will be called upon to pledge themselves to support legislation throwing open to settlement all public lands to bona fide home seekers and ex-service men.
 This decision on the part of organ ized labor is embodied in resolution adopted by the state committee of the non partisan political movement. The resolution also recommends the adop- tion of law calling for the establish ment of state warehouses for farm CTS. 1t reads in ful as folows:
 Lands in Bad Shape.
 "We deplore, the condition of the state lands. While Arizona had at one time more than 10,000,000 acres of public land, it has come to pass that in few brief years this vast heritage of our children has been squandered and has been allowed to accumulate into the hands of the favored few SC that the homesteaders and many of the soldiers and sailors who have fought the battles of their country al the front in France are unable to SC. cure even a small piece of good land in this, our rich state.
 "The small farmer and cattlemar has been unable to secure small pieces of worthwhile land with which they could earn a decent livelihood. On the other hand large cattle and sheep in. terests have been able to obtain land and land leases in such large quanti. ties that their holdings individually run into hundreds of thousands oi acres.

The Coconino sun., 1920-06-04
"PILLACE OF THE PEOPLE"

For high cost of living" read "pill- age of the people" The phrase is Sen ator Capper's, and it expresses con clusion which appears to be inevitable, unless his extraordinarily impressive arraignment of profteering is refuted; and that it will be or can be refuted we have little expectation. Indeed, his statements are so definite and explic- it, and are based upon data so author itative, that any attempt at denial would seem to be futile. Making all due allowance for circumstances which might cause some legitimate increase of profits, the enormous growth of gains which corporations themselves admit, is scarcely applicable on any other ground than that of arrogant extortion.
 Thus Senator Capper cited one great cotton mill whose net profits in 1918 were thirteen times greater than in the four years ending with 1916, and in 1919 were seven times greater than in 1917. Now, very large increase in gross receipts might well be justi- fled on the ground of increased ex- penses for material, labor and taxes. But these were increases in net prof its, over and above all costs. Two other cotton mills were cited, which had recently declared dividends of 100 and 300 per cent respectively. If the profits of the first named in 1919 were not excessive, are we to understand that the concern was run at ruinous loss in 1917 when they were only one seventh as much? When a corpora ton is making 300 per cent profit, is it not stultifying to pretend that it cannot afford to sell it's goods at lower prices?
 The cost of shoes has become almost prohibitive, and there are threats that it will go still higher. Notoriously, that is not because of any scarcity of hides or of rising prices for them, for they have been plentiful, and their prices have been falling. Senator Cap per pointed out more plausible cause. One of the chief hide and leather con- cerns paid in 1919 dividends thirty five times as great as in 1915. Anoth- CT increased its net profits in 1919 by 103 per cent above those of 1918, and increased it's accumulated surplus from less than eight millions in 1914 to more than thirty millions in 1919. One of the largest shoe manufactur- ing concerns increased it's profits from a little over two millions in 1915 to nearly ten millions in 1919. No won der that the retail price of footwear has trebled or quadrupled!
 So it runs through the whole list. Cotton goods, woolen goods, oil, rub Der, leather, coal, ice, sugar, bread, bananas, hardware, paper, tobacco, au- tomobiles-"the trail of the serpent is over them all" The reports of the corporations themselves indicate it. They even boast of it. Senator Cap per quoted letter which he had re- ceived from an officer of a n-plate and steel concern, offering to sell him some of it's stock and recommending it as a desirable investment on the
