ITS PURPOSES SHOULD BE OURS

It has come to the attention of the American Legion that certain bolshevik element is gross ly misrepresenting the purposes of the Legion and doing everything in it's power to keep ex- service men from joining.
 Fortunately, this sentiment against the Le- gion is not apparent here in Flagstaff, but word of it comes in from some of the surrounding com- munities.
 It is charged that the Legion is an organiza- tion to fight labor. Samuel Gompers, the noted labor leader, has several times recently publicly advised all laboring men who are also ex-service men, to join the American Legion.
 |, Perhaps part of the propaganda against the Legion arises from belief that seems to have become general, that the various posts of the Legion are to be armed by the government. This is not true, the rumor arising from the fact that the government has allotted to each post ten ob- selete army rifles, with blank ammunition, to be used in ceremonies only.
 The preamble of the American Legion is something that every true citizen of the United States may well subscribe to. Any person not willing to subscribe to it is not fit to be citizen. The preamble is:
 "For God and country, we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: To uphold and defend the constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster canism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the commun- ity, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth to safeguard and transmit to pos terity the principles of justice, freedom and dem- ocracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comrade- ship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness."

WE CAN'T TELL YOU TODAY

The Sun does not expect to be able to an- nounce in its news columns this week who the next republican candidate for president will be, as the decision will hardly be made before today, though balloting was scheduled to begin yes- terday. Lowden, Wood and Johnson are the three with the most delegates pledged, but no one can didate has enough votes pledged to secure the nomination and it probably will take several bal lots before the deadlock is broken. The deadlock may be broken today, but probably not before tomorrow and perhaps not until next week. So The Sun likely will not be able to announce before next week who the next president will be.

A very touching little squb appeared in a Pennsylvania paper to the effect that railroad men found nest of young robins in box car they were ordered to move; the fact was wired to the superintendent and he ordered it left alone until the robins grew up. That was most kind, and we suppose this may account for the short age of cars to great extent-they being scat tered out in wayside places so robins can nest in them. Some cruel and brutal men may damn the robins for delaying his shipment of flour and food, but why rob the poor robin? Pause and drop a prof-teer here

LEGAL HOLIDAYS REST WITH VARIOUS
 STATES

There are no national holidays. The making of legal holidays is a matter which rests with the different states. There is nothing Tn the Constitution clearly giving the federal govern ment power over such matters. All powers not delegated to the United States by the constitu- ton nor prohibited by it to the states, are re- served to the state respectively, or to the people.
 It is true that July and December 25 are le- gal holidays in all the states, but they were made holidays by separate enactment in and by each state. The president of the United States does proclaim the last Thursday in November to be a day of thanksgiving. It is not his proclamation, however, which makes the day legal holiday, but that of the governor in each state.

Philadelphia Bank Urges More
Hotels for Quaker City as a
Business Necessity

The close relationship of commercial
progress and residential accommoda-
Nons may be judged by the plea Of
Philadelphia bank that more hotels be
erected in that city. 1t is an unusual
suggestion, but there must be much
business logic in the proposal, because
the Corn Exchange National Bank has
seen fit to mention the need Of hotels
IN its publication. The publication
says:
"In the more than two ccnturi..
since Philadclphia's first hotel, the
Blue Anchor, became Pennsylvania's
original public house, until the last
s2,000,ooo hostelry in this city opened
IT'S doors, Philadelphia never needed
SO much additional hotel space as t.

Retailers Assailed
Bv Producers for
Not Cutting Prices
Criticized by Manufacturers
for Delay in Buying New
Goods and for the Failure
to Reflect Market Drops

Retailers, taken as class, arc being
roundly denounced in manufacturing
and wholesaling circles not only for
their present policy of holding off pur-
chasing new goods for future use, but
also for failing to reflect some Of the
recent price drops that have taken
place in the wholesale markets This
is especially true in the silk and cot
ton goods market, where sellers assert
that numerous specific cases have come
to their attention in which retailers
have eXactei more than the usual profit
on some goods
In reply to these accusations the re-
tallers affirm that 1t Is not always pos
siblc to mark down their merchandise
in stock immediately upon a drop in
the wholesale prices. Apparently, from
the admissions Of retailers and the
statements of wholesalers. the retailer
does not mark down prices until COM
PEELED to do so by competition or by
the the SLOW movement Of stocks in
certain departments.
A prominent woolen goods selling
agent cited a case yesterday in which
ne asserted that cloth he sold to a
clothing manufacturer at 81 yard was
made up into suits which sold at whole
sale tor slightly less than $50 apiece
only to be shown in one Chicago store
at S11o ana in a New York establish
ment at S95.
Wholesalers IN general are disposed
to regard the recent price-cutting wave
that swept the country as "cam mounage"
on the part OF a great many retailers
They do not deny that in many cases
sharp reductions in prices were made
but they are convinced, after a com
parison of wholesale and retail values.
that present retail prices, even when
they have been reduced, still allow
wide margin of profit for the retailers.

Prof ts-substantial profts-and not
losses, have been derived from invest
ments in properly financed and ef-
'fciently managed cooperative apart
ments in New York, according to Wal
ter Russell, who as one of the earliest
was responsible largely for the fine de-
velopmcnt of West Sixtyscventh
Street, between Central Park West and
Columbus Avenue, into tho city's most
distinctive art center by tho construc-
tion of large number Of comparatively
owned studio and apartment buildings.
Mr.. Russell shifted recently his ac-
tivities to the Park Avenue and tcrmi-
nal zone, where, in association with
the Fred. T. Ley Company, he is pre-
pairing now to build new cooperative
occupying the square block from Forty
eighth to Forty-ninth Street, Park to
Madison avenue; also, in association
with tho Weavcr-C Crawford Corporation,
in tho Park Madison group of coopera-
tive office buildings, which will occupy
three square blocks north Of the Grand
Central Terminal.
Mr.. Russell, in common with Douglas
L. Gilman, Major S. Fullerton Weaver
and many other responsible advocates
of cooperative housing projects, yester-
day added his protest to the attacks
made recently by Alderman Quinn and
Leo Kenneth Mayer, counsel to the
Mayors Committee on Rent Protitecr-
ing, upon cooperative housing and bust
ness building projects in general
Wrongly Impressed
"No doubt both Mr. Quinn and Mr..
Mayer have had to listen to many
tales of woe related by the victims Of
unscrupulous promoters OF lll-advlsed;
improperly and badly financed, and
worse managed, cooperative schemes"
said Mr.. Russell. ut is hardly fair,
however, to tar all cooperative prof.
ects with the same stick, merely be-
cause a few deserve such rough treat
ment.
at is unfair, for instance, to class
mortgaged properties with those that
do not carry a mortgage; properties
that bear a first mortgage only, with
those that carry two, or even more
mortgages; properties that carry
straight, or amortizable mortgage with
those that are sold-frequently at
greatly inflated valuation.
at is equally unfair to compare two
properties, one of which has been
placed on a cooperative basis only to
"savc the day for some speculator-
the other of which has been figured to
the fraction of cent, both as regards
income and outgo. There is the same
difference between two such rejects
as between night and day, black and
white, or good and evil.
Gas one Of the orignators of the
cooperative housing plan, as applied to
in New York, l am in good position
to state the facts in the case, which
go a long way to disprove the state
ment that such operations are not
profitable for the subscribers, or "ten-

Big Return on Hotel des Artistes
"The Hotel des Artistes, at l West
Sixty~seventh Street, corner OF Cen

forward step in the solution Of tho
domestic service problem, because Of
the inauguration there Of the hourly
service system.
"Before the excavation work for thi,
building was completed, the death O,
one Of the apartment owners, who had
purchased four units, left his wire in
dire need. She requested that half Of
the $1,000 already paid in be returned

which represented profit Of more
than 100 per cent on money invested
a few months before. Soon thereafter
another apartment owner sold his SIP

Sc 500 unit was resold al a premium Of
S15 600, and another at prot. Of
81 200. Another subscriber FOR $500

has reDurchased its own stock at so

THE reasons for the remarkable sue
cess of these buildings are thai the
stockholders (owncrs) have a common
interest at heart The interest Of one
owner is the interest of all. 4 group
Of responsible men and women always
compose their owners. The men mem
bers are invariably men Of wide ex-
perience in large affairs. This ex-
perience insures to the benefit OF all
the cooperators and IS always very
valuable in connection with the sue
cessful management Of these enter
prises.
The stockholders are permanent
residents and the service they get be-
cause Of this is far better and the
character Of the building more excla-
sve than is general in buildings given
over to the care Of agents and seldom
seen and inspected By their owners.
This exclusive service appeals 70
friends of the stockholders owners,
who may be seeking apartments, with
the result that these buildings are well
filled with desirable tenants. Many OF
these tenants become resident stock
holders in new enterprises"

The building contains thirty-four apart

rented TO tenants.
"During the erection Of this building
five rcsales of stock were made, at

three years of occupancy Mr.. G. died,
and his widow rented the apartment
for $4,000 n year MIR. S. received a
profit of more than $4,000 for his $l5,-

half Of the rentable area. The stock,
representing a duplex apartment, costs
$4,000, and the apartment rents Tor
81 500 to $4,000 per annum. There Is
an assessment against the proprletory
rental of about 5000 a year.
"This building was finished in 1905.
During it's erection five blocks OF stock
were resold at premiums aggregatlng

net $316 600 in cash; his apartment to-
day is worth $4,000. Mr.. R. has re-
fused $4,000 for his 900 apart
ment after having lived in it for ten
years. A Mrs. r. bought a $4,000
apartment in this building in 1908.
She lived in it for six years, and re-
