PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 6.-J. H.

Of No '.hern Arizona, and said:

challenge through legal service, de-
m anding that the Governor, within "a
hours, furnish the name of the man
whom he said paid Moeur $4,000 for
securing land lease.
Moeur takes oath as to the absolute
faleity of the Governors statement,
and concludes his challenge with the

issue such a declaration, Moeur will

A LONG, LONG WAY
TO OLD PRICES

Pre-war prices we may eventually
see in the years TO come. Pre-war
prices we may even see before very
long for brief period on few SON.
modities which are in excessive sup
ply. But pre-war prices, or anything
like pre-war prices, on most COM
modities-for more than a brief peri
cd on any commodity-are along way
ahead of US, says the Dry Goods
Economist.
Consider textiles. Here prices have
been cut so sharply that talk Of pre-
war level on textiles is especially COM
mon. But it ought not to take much
thinking on the part Of any reason
able person to show how impossible
it is that such an expectation could
be realized in the near future.
On cotton, for example, prices have
been reduced in many instances to
about the level reached after the ar
mistice, although since that time
wages have advanced 80 per cent and
raw cotton has risen or 5 cents per
pound. These prices must be pretty
close to production costs. To effect
a further reduction would entail a
lowering Of production costs.
To bring production costs down to
pre-war level would involve a cut of
over 40 per cent in wages, 5 or 6
cents pound from present prices of
raw cotton, and corresponding reduc-
tions in fuel, transportation, dyeing
and finishing materials and other
items. Such radical revisions are OBJ
viously a long way off.-Albuquer-
que Herald.
