Good Go, ,erhIment Pays.

Gov. Frank @. Eowden Of Tlli-
nois has osss hobby in the admi-
nistration Of public affairs. That
is strict economy in the expendi-
ture of the peoples money. He
has given Illinois a business
mans administration.
BY efficient management he
was able to reduce the tax rate
in Illinois 33 per cent iii two
years, thus saving $4,000, 900 an
nually to the tax payers. Illinois
was the only state in the the :;s;on
to reduce its tax rate during the
war. In many states taxes were
increased.

private affairs will not permit us
to interest ourselves in public af-
fairs. We seem to forget that

But government is not automa-

WHO is THE
AMERICAN CONGRESS? !?

We are by no means unappre
ciative of the trials and tribula
tions of members Of congress
but for all that we see no rea.
son why congress should not
preserve it's individuality anc
identity sufficiently to enable us
to determine at all times just
who constitutes the American
congress.
A short time ago it was felt
by many that the country was
in urgent need of anti-strike
legislation, and, rejecting as to
the sufferings of millions of in
nocent people and the loss of
hundreds of millions of dollars
because of the strikes in steel,
coal, shipping and other indus
tries, we were inclined to agree
with the idea of the necessity
for some federal law which
would suppress strikes and COM
pei the adjustment of labor dis
putes by arbitration. Indeed,
this attitude regarding the mat
ter became so general through
out the country that the group
of men down in Washington
which is said to constitute our
federal congress went vigorous
ly to work to prepare an anti
strike law, and many of us be-
gan to think that that group
really was our congress and that
it meant business. But it was
only momentarily that we had
this delusion, for soon the work
of this supposed congress came
to sudden halt and those men,
bers who failed to escape thru
the side door turned white with
fear as heavy footsteps were
heard approaching and some
one gasped the single word
."GOMPERS."
After that there was no more
loud talking indeed there was
hardly a whisper among that
group which we had thought to
be congress as to the enact
ment of an anti-strike law
such as the great body of the
American people want and are
entitled to-all that was quickly
eliminated by the fear of what
this person Gompers, this man
of mysterious power, this super
congress if you please might do
this little group of nominal con-
gressmen when they came up
for reelection if they should dare
to do what 90,OOO,OOO Ameri-
can people want them to do.
After all this we are, of cou-
rse, not surprised to learn that
there had been a complete elimi-
nation from the railroad bill of
every vestige of effective anti
strike legislation.
So too with the proposed anti
sedition law. A little while ago,
as result of revolutionary pro-
paganda spreading and many
criminal acts by so-called Reds
the whole country demanded

The league of nations is an ac-
tuality. Sundry nations have
banded together in an altruistic
attempt to put an end to war
and bring peace on earth for all
time. Is the league to be all
that is claimed for it? Can it,
by boycott, blockade and other
means, force a nation to recede
from war? If so, it's work is
already cut out for it. The pres
ent Russian government, not a
member of the league, is MAX
ing war on Poland and Rumania,
members of the league, and
eight or ten other nations are
virtually at each others throats.
When is the big cop" going to
get busy? Perhaps it is just as
well for the United States to re-
frain from entering the league
under any consideration, until it
is proven that European nations
hold it as something more than
a mere scrap of paper"

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL SAYS HE HAS KEPT FAITH WITH PEOPLE.
Special to The Republican,

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 23-Fifteen hundred Tucson citizens extended a rousing reception to Gov. Thomas E. Campbell tonight when he appeared upon the platform at the arrnory to deliver an account of his stewardship of state affairs during the past two years.
 Governor Campbell called attention to the fact that four years ago, when he was first a candidate for governor he had promised that if elected he would do his utmost to bring about order out of the industrial chaos that had prevailed in Arizona under for mer administration. He believed he said, that his audience would agree he had made good that promise, for during the past two years while Flu rope and the United States had seethed with unrest, Arizona had proven herself the most peacefully in dustrious state in the union
 Discussing reclamation, the gover- nor said that much of the time he had been away from the state, for which he had been criticized by his opponents, had been for the purpose of interesting those who were or would be in position to aid this state in the reclamation of Arizona's desert lands. 'tWe are now on the threshold of having some thing done along this line" declared LIS BONSIHOT, seven years or inactivity, during which time not a shoveiful of dirt has been turned on any new reclamation project in the United States. Reclamation is a Re publican policy; the Republicans orig mated it and have been the only ad- ministration to carry it forward"
 The governor also briefly reviewed conditions prevailing at the state prison and other state institutions. in comparison with conditions as they existed under a previous administra- tion, and declared that during the past fiscal year these institutions had been administered at a saving over the ap- propriations of over $100,000. He also strongly denounced the method in which the state lands had been ad- ministered by the present land board and aroused his audience when he de- clared they had the hardest fight of their lives before them now to save the heritage of the people of Arizona to themselves and their children, say ing the methods of the land commits sioner had resulted in the biggest part of these state lands being tied up in perpetuity to the big cattle interests, thus shutting out the little fellow and the homesteader. When reelected, said the governor one of his first acts would be to urge legislation to remedy this evil.

He told the congress he was doing his 'level best" to enforce the laws.
 After officials of the congress had declined to permit delivery of that part of his speech referring to MT. Anderson, MT. Coler gave it out in the form of public statement
 MT. Anderson in his reply said
 Any statement that I have made any attack upon any church is utterly untrue. But fear of misrepresentation has deterred me from exposing and thwarting the Tammany scheme to capitalize politically against prohibition the influence of a great church, many of whose clergy and lay members have been noted leaders in the fight to de- stroy the liquor traffic.
