"Sleeping Gas" Makes Socialism
Painless Until They Wake ITp.

The winds that have been blowing
over the earth for the past two or
three years must have been laden
with some sort of gas capable OF
putting good, old fashioned sound
judgment asleep. There has always
been plenty of agitation by profess
sional agitators but there was a time
when the American people would not
swallow any and every cure-all the
ory that might be dshed out to them
Socialism is nothing new and it is
no different today than it was yester-
day. 1t has always put a premium on
idleness and has always condemned
the personal reward of honest indi-
vidual effort Because the Socialists
of Washington and North Dakota to-
day choose to shout their philosophy
under the name of the Nonpartisan
league does not change the principle
of socialism in the least.
State Ownership of Farms, of Course
Supposing Townley were able 70
establish state owned elevators, mills.
packing houses, banks, etc, and they
were a success beyond all expecta-
tions, what then? Are the farme,'.
of Washington so foolish as to think
he would stop there? If other stat .
owned institutions were a great suc-
cess, don't you think there would then
be demand for state owned farms :?
Would Townlcy then be a friend Of
the farmer? Socialism does not
stop with a state owned mill. Social
ism means the confiscation of all pri-
vate property.
Too many people do not see the
seriousness of the Nonpartisan leagIe
movement.

The burden of taxation imposed up
on the American people is stagger-
ing, but in presenting a true state
ment of the situation we must face
the fact that, while the character of
the taxes can and should be changed.
an early reduction of the amount If
revenue to be raised is not to be.
The next Republican administra-
tion will inherit from its Democratic
predecessor a floating Indebtedness of
over billion, the prompt liquidation
of which is demanded by sound finan-
cial considerations. Moreover, the
whole fiscal policy of the government
must be deeply influenced by the nc
cessity of meeting obligations in c7--
cess of $5,000,000,000 which natures
in 1923. But sound policy equally de-
mands that real reduction of the tav
burden which may be achieved by
substituting simple for complex tax
laws and procedure, prompt and Ger
tain determination of the tax liabil-
ity for delay and uncertainty, tax
laws which do not excessively muld
the consumer or needlessly rcpres7
enterprise and thrift.
SimpIifed Income Returns.
We advocate the issuance of a sim
plifed form of income returns; au-
thorizing the Treasury department to
make changes in regulations effect
i've only from the date of their ap-
proval; empowering the commission
er of internal revenue, with the con
sent of the taxpayers, to make final
and conclusive settlements of taX
claims and assessments barring
fraud, and the creation of IA tax
board, consisting of at least three
representatives of the tax-payinp
public and the heads of the principal
divisions of the bureau of internal
revenue, to act as a standing CON
mittee on the simpifcation of form
procedure and law, and to maxi
recommendation to the Congress.
BANKING ana currency.
The fact that the war, to "A gre-t
extent was financed by a policy Of
initiation through certificate borrow
ing from the banks, and bonds issuoI
at artificial rates sustained by th'
low discount rates established by .
Federal Reserve Board. The contin
of tniu
tice lays the administration open 20
severe criticism. Almost up to IT,
present time, the practices of the
Federal Reserve Board as to credit
control have been frankly dominate
by the convenience of the Treasur,.
Credit Preference Urged.
The results have been a greatly in
creased war cost, serious loss TO
the millions Of people who in good
faith bought Liberty bonds and Viz
tory notes at par, and extensire
post war speculation, followed todar
by a restricted credit for legitima;c
industrial expansion. As a matter of
public policy we urge all banks TO
give credit preference to essential in
dustries.
The Federal Reserve system
should be free from political infuenra
which is quite as important as its in
dependence of domination by fnanci-
al combinations.
High Cost of Living.
The prime cause of the "high cost
of living" has been first and foremost

Easier Farm Credits.

The Federal Farm Loan act should
be so administered as to facilitate
the acquisition of farm land by those
desiring to become owners and pro

of farm tenantry, and to furnish such
long time credits as farmers ma,

NEW YORK CABARET TO BE
 REPRODUCED HERE

Faithful reproduction of the Cafe Montmartre, one of the famous Broad way dance palaces, is the feature of "On With the Dance" the George Fitzmaurice production, featuring Mae Murray and David Powell, which will be shown Wednesday night, next, at the Orpheum Theatre. The gay cabaret was built at the Paramount Aircraft studio in New York from minute photographs.
 Several hundred "extras," two jazz bands, famous professional eccentric and "shimmy" dancers, and the entire corps of walters from a Broadway lobster palace" were engaged for the occasion. Some of the most famous actors, actresses, and public person ages of New York were present when the scenes were "shot" and are seen as diners at the various tables. This episode is declared to be one of the most brilliant and elaborate of it's kind ever filmed.
 Mae Murray has the role of dane. ing girl, and is, of course, the center of interest. David Powell has the chief male part. The story is one ot intense heart appeal and dramatic con. flict. It was adapted by Ouida Der. gere from a stage play.

SPILLED ORATORY ALL
 AROUND THE BARBECUE

Nearly everybody and his wife at- tended the big sixth annual barbecue at Red Lake on Saturday. The an- nouncement in the advertising that candidates for senator, congress, governor, and every other state and county office" would be present was amply verified. They were about all there, as glancing over the following list of speakers will denote:
 Governor T. E.. Campbell, State At torney General Wiley E. Jones, Judge Stanford, of Phoenix, candidate for the state supreme court; John Morton, of Tucson, and E. s. Clark, of Prescott candidates for U. s. senator; Charles de Sales Wheeler, candidate for secre, tary of state; Louis B. Whitney, as, sistant attorney general, who wants his boss's job; Congressman Car Hayden; State Auditor Jesse Boyce and Raymond R. Earhart, sheriff oi Santa Cruz county, who wants to be state treasurer.
 The barbecue was a great success and the Odd Fellows, under whose au spices it was held, deserve credit fol pulling off an enjoyable affair. Dane ing and boxing exhibition helped tt rest the crowd up from the speeches.

APHOLD IS CANDIDATE
 FOR COUNTY TREASURER

Henry l.. Aphold, candidate for county treasurer, subject to the demo- cratic primaries, announces his can didacy in this issue of The Sun.
 Henry is very we'll known here, and throughout the county and state, and has many admiring friends who are working for him and would be over joyed at his election. So far, he is the only democratic candidate for the po- sition.
 Mir. Aphold was born in Brownsville, Texas, in 1872. Hit came to Arizona when he was only ten years old and has been continuous resident of the state ever since. For many years he followed the mining business, keeping books for some of the largest mining concerns in the state, and he is owner of some very promising mining prop erty. He came to Coconino county in 1900, to take charge of the books for Poison Brothers, at Williams, and came to Flagstaff at the time of his appointment as deputy clerk of the board of supervisors, in 1918. The fol lowing year he was appointed deputy county assessor which position he now holds.
 MT. Aphold is thoroughly qualified to take care of the county accounting and is the type of man who does his work conscientiously and well. Ii elected, he will make a good treasurer -one who will always be found on the job and always ready for state inspec. | tion of his records.

 Frank Adams, of Blunding, Utah, was in the burg on business trip the Eth and Sth.
 O. K. Cook motored out from Tuba City the last of the week, returning to Tuba City the evening of Aug. 8th, accompanied by Dr. G. N. Silvio, of New Bethlehem, Pa. MT. Silvia is a dentist and was making a special trip to the bridge and the ruins. His guide on the trip was William Reid. He said he wouldn't have missed the trip for a farm, but as he could not find any dinoceras teeth to fill he re. turned home, vowing that he would come back next year and saw of some of the teeth of Comb Ridge. August 6th-Sculptor kupta ar rived to do some sculpture stunts with our scenery and savages. He sure can be as busy as he likes. The 1afeWell udnCe Ol tuc diSHoSl- ogical party was given at the city hall August 9th. The party evidently showed that they had not become fos- silized, even if they were 364 miles from home.
 Albert Smith visited Bluff, Utah, Sunday, Aug. 8th, losing valuable horse on his return, the animal be- coming poisoned from drinking al- kalai water.
 Missionary Leigh Segar and Navajo helper, George, left for Flagstaf August 9th to attend the conference. They report a muddy trip.
 Professor Kute, of Elgin, Ills, wis., tied the reservation the first half of the month, gathering bontanical spec linens.
 c. T. Taptuka on his return from Kayenta to Tuba August 4th, broke his car down in Long Valley, just south of the Pass and is here with re: pairs for it today (Aug. 10). He will probably have the mail truck pull it to Tuba for him.
 George R. E. Gilchrist, who forfeit ed $1OO last year on trip here, which he failed to make, has tried to reach here again, but becoming sick on the road is now in a hospital at Flag staff. A trip to Kayenta seems to be hard for him, but he says he's corn- iIg just the same.

MRS. MAY E. PORTER IS CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY
 SUPT. OF SCHOOLS

Mrs. May E. Porter, well known and popular lady of Flagstaff, has consented to be a candidate for the nmination on the republican ticket for the office of county superintendent of schools and filed her nomination pa pers Tuesday. Mrs. Porter has been importuned by friends for a long time to become candidate for that office, and having decided to become a candidate, will receive their enthusiastic support.
 She is an energetic woman and started in life earning her way by teaching school when but 16 years of age. She continued in school work the greater part of her life up to the time of coming to Flagstaff several years ago.
 Mrs. Porter demonstrated her exec. utive ability during the trying wal times, as chairman of the Red Cross work rooms, where the patriotic wom- en of the town turned out thousands of dollars worth of goods which were sent to base headquarters for distri. button. Not content with this work the work of many other departments of Red Cross were turned over to hel charge, including relief work, long af ter the close of the war. That the ar duous work handled by her was wei done may safely be left to those mer and women associated with her, ant they, knowing how well she served are the ones most heartily supporting her candidacy and who thorough! believe she should be honored by thu voters of the county.
 Mrs. Porter is alive to the progress i've needs of our schools to keep then in the fore front and under her super vision patrons will have no need t, complain that they are not getting the very best results obtainable. Sh' possesses keen mentality, and is : womanly woman and one who uncon sciously makes friends wherever sh' becomes acquainted.

KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. George Smalley and daughter, of Tucson, arrived in Flagstaff Mon day evening from Prescott, to remain until the close of the summer term at the Normal, when they will return with Miss Yndia, who has been at tending the summer session.

WILL MARLAR CANDIDATE
 FOR THE STATE SENATE

William Marian announces in this issue that he will be a candidate for the nomination on the democratic tick ct for the office of state senator. Since there are no other candidates on the democratic ticket there is no question but he will receive the nomination unanimously, as it was conceded him among the party leaders in advance of his announcement.
 Mn Marian has had experience in legislative matters and represented Coconino county in the house of rep resentatives during one strenuous term. He is out on platform of "giving the common people chance" with less laws and more horse sense in the governing of the affairs of the people.
 MT. Marian has been one of the pro- gressive citizens of Flagstaff during his residence here and has many pub lie buildings to his credit; in fact he has done more progressive work in helping to build up Flagstaff than many men who have lived life time here. While he claims to be simon pure democrat, he is willing to admit that there are others on the other side who are entitled to consideration in the making of laws and in the government of the people.
 While The Sun does not agree with him in his attitude of being a demo crat, we are willing to admit that he is |, "real" democrat and will fight it out along that line, as long as that line looks like a square bet.

COSTIGAN IS STILL
 GETTING THE BIG ONES

Jack Costigan is still grabbing off great pictures for his Orpheum Thea tre. The show tonight, "Just Call Me Jim," is one of the greatest ever pro- duced. Along with it is one of the new Edgar two-reel comedies, featur- ing the celebrated Booth Tarkington stories in the Saturday Evening Post
 Next Wednesday night, we will be transplanted to New York, and take in both its most sordid and its most beautiful sights in "On With the Dance," one of the big special series of Paramount-Artcraft pictures.
 Jack, on Wednesday, booked for Sunday, September 19, the wonderful new film, "The Virgin of Stampoul,' ' providing the producers will send here the original dancer, who is now ap- bearing with the film in the east. II will cost lot to get her here for the day, to dance in costume, but Jack says his nerve is just as good as i, ever was.

CHARLES LARSON WILL
 RUN FOR STATE SENATE

Charles F.. Larson, of Williams, has announced himself candidate for the state senate on the republican ticket.
 MT. Larson has been resident of Coconino county for the past ten years and is at present chiefly engaged in the wholesale fuel wood business, op- erating several camps in the west end of the county.
 Through study and years of busi- ness experience, he has acquired a sound and broad knowledge of prac- tical political economy and being a firm believer in strong, honest and free government of, by, and for the people, he is well qualified to repre- sent Coconino county in the law-mak- ing branch of our state government.

BELIEVED BISSONNETTE
 PLANNED GOING AWAY

No word as to the whereabout of z. A. Bissonnette, who disappeared so mysteriously month ago, has been received here. The impression that many of his acquaintances held at first that he had met foul play is gradually giving place to the suspicion that he had no intention of returning when he left. This seems to be borne out by the way he left his car at Se- ligman. He drove it into Eben Green laws garage there, saying that he wanted to leave it overnight and would be back the next day after it. Then he had some other cars moved out Sc that he could put his Studebaker in the corner behind them. After this was done he put the key in the car and tied the duplicate key to the steering wheel.

Besides this, there is the bridge, on Phoenix avenue, over the River de Flag, which will have 3O- foot roadway and be built in two 16- foot spans. All of the work will be concrete and steel.

STILL PERMIT THE
 BEASTLY GAME

Prospects are bright for a revival of the ancient and honorable sport of badger fighting in Jerome. Because Harry Carey, the movie star, has never seen a badger fight, the police have tentatively agreed to permit one more event of that character, al- though after the last contest Chief Crowley announced that it positively must not be repeated. An extra fierce badger has been imported from the wilds of Black canyon and it is expected that he will be in good condi- tion by the middle of next week-Jer- ome News.
