predicts that the local exchange will

The Graphic editor is sorry he could
not have heard Mr.. Ames, ms more evil
dence might have been adduced. Ii is
confessed with something akin TO
SHAME that IL has been necessary 10

charged that he is II bolshevist-that
would not he safe. However, in looking
over his organ II Is noticeable that the
references To Russia are very frequent
and prominent. One instance has been
quoted.

to send their printing where 1t will be
done we'll" in San Francisco. Also
clothing can he had by mail order

the enemy of the propaganda in the

Of a labor union. however. doesn't take

There Is some pride In the
Graphic as the free and Outspoken or
gan Of the square deal In Deming.
The Graphic claims that the way TO |
change the system Is at the ballot box. +,
and not by revolution.
The Graphic insists that less social |
istic theory and more attention to good |
old law ~ supply and demand" will |
Yield more economic freedom. The
Graphic would like for Mr.. TIeyman to
study this law, for II Is doing more
10 lower the cost ~ living right now
than he and his socialiStic friends will |
ever do to put the profiteerS on the
run.
We have jails for profiteers.

fortunes: also inheritance taxes.
These laws should be strengthened.
