this fact that sets this class of en-
ployers against labor unions.
But, we hear some one say: Prices
would come down if labor would como
down" Experience does not prove
this contention. Employers are not
making such promises. We hear some
say that prices have already come
down; that manufacturers have re
duced their prices and that labor
ought to do the same. Some go even
so far as to say that prices have
reached pre-war levels, and unfortu-
nately, they induce some people to be-
lieve such statements. This encour-
ages some to denounce labor for fight
ing to maintain its wage standards.
The fact is that the prices of the
articles that the worker must buy
have not come down to the pre-War
level nor anywhere near the pre-war
level And let us all hope that prices
will never again reach the pre-war
level.
Only few days ago there appeared
in the daily newspapers an article
telling about the terrific slump" in
prices of the necessities of life, and
demanding that labor accept wage re.
auctions for that reason And on
the same day there appeared in the
same newspapers an official state
ment from Washington which said
that the general average of prices of
the necessities of life throughout the
country was still so per cent above
the average for 1914. Here we find
prices still so per cent higher than
they were before the war. and vet
these employers are demanding that
labor stand for a reduction of wages
to the pre-war level One fails to see
anything fair in such an attitude on
part Of employers. Organized labor
asks only a square deal
Not Back Slders.
Wage standards were far too low in
1914. 1t would be an Injustice to
force labor to return to the 1914 level
America is not a nation of backslid-
eTs. The citizenship of America be
Iieves in progress, in going ahead and
not backward. 1t is contrary to every
American ideal to encourage a policy
of sliding backward from the 1921
standard to the standard of 1914.
Let's forget 1914, in business, in in
dustry and in our every day interest
in humanity. Let's look forward and
beyond the present and strive for the
attainment Of better things. Let's
work for the upbuiIding of our coun-
try and all that it contains. Let's
swear new allegiance to that true
Americanism that is founded upon the
rock Of justice and the square deal.
A nation is what its people make it.
Americans have made this the bes-
country in the world by going con

Mr.. Recher waving all rights to the
office. At the recent election each re-
ceived $40 votes and Immediately al

to step aside dispels all possibility OF
any controversy.

Town Marshal Trissel at the instiga-
ton of the Lewisburg Telephone com
pany, one of whose cable lines, it is

its regular run of business. 1t is said
if the business materialiZes, the Gin
cinnati Northern crews will run into
Toledo, operating their trains over the
Lake Shore from Bryan, Ohio This
being the case, it will mean the addi-
tion of several more train dispatchers
at Van Vert, probably 80 more tele-
graph operators along the line and
about a dozen more engine and freight
crews. The assistant general manager
of the Big Four railroads passed
through here Tuesday in his private

DEER IN ARIZONA

Attention that has been recently diverted to that part of Arizona north of the Colorado river has result ed in many discoveries, one of the most important of which is the fact that there are about 36,0C0 deer there. Wild game of all kinds abounds because men have not been getting at it.
 Now that the north of the river section is to be thrown open by bridges and new roads, hunters should not be allowed to slaughter that game. They will not be allowed to do it if the game warden can pre- vent it.
 Here is an excellent source of sup ply for restocking forests over the state. The Kaibab forest is game refuge and deer have multiplied there very rapidly. If this refuge is properly protected it can con tinue to be a source of supply fol every good hunting ground in Ariz ona.

LEST WE FORGET

A few years ago when, in the dark est moments of the war, the Ger mans were pressing toward Paris, and the Turks under German tutelage were cutting their way to the East, two nations came to the rescue. On the Western front American man. hood broke the deadlock In Asia Minor. the small Armenian army threw itself across the enerny's path and saved Asia to the AlliAs.
 Today the children of this brave eastern army are on the verge of starvation. More than 21O,OOO or phans have been rescued by Ameri- can funds, but for each of these fortunate children there are three helpless waifs hiding in mountain caves, or ruined novels and feeding upon grass or refuse.
 Surrounded now by enemies,-the Turks and Kurds,-part of the Ar menian Republic has been overrun and thousands of people who were reestablishing themselves have been driven from their homes. The roads to all the large centers are jammed with refuge women and children, shoeless, almost naked and without food
 The Near East Relief is appealing to Arizona to care for 1900 children located in the orphanages at Mar din. They are utterly helpless, no government to give them aid, no fathers to give them bread, no mothers to love them and nurse them to health.
 Five dollars a month, sixty dollars a year, will provide one of these children with three meals day. Bread with tea, sometimes soup, even an occasional onion, is the diet three times a day for these helpless child ren. We cannot give them less, they depend upon Arizona for their very life
 Besides the orphans, there are some 5OO,OOO young women and girls who were stolen into the harems of the unspeakable Turks, and who must remain there until funds are available to rescue them and bring them back to new life.
 To the people of the Near East, America is the one altruistic nation, the one people capable of realizing an ideal, the one model upon which can be built a new America in Bible Lands.

LOADING THE TAX PAYER

A lot of political misrepresenta- ton is going on about the Farm Loan Act and the claim that is is necessary for the proper working of the act that Farm Loan Bonds be exempted from taxation.
 There is no truth to such a state ment. For political purposes these bonds were exempted from all taxes when as a matter of justice they
 ave no more right to be exempted than any other securities sold for purely private gain.
 If by taxing these bonds the bor- rower had to pay one half per cent more interest than he now does, it would in no way prevent the loan ing of money to the farmers under this Act, but it would relieve the balance of the taxpayers from mak- ing up the amount they now have to pay on several hundred millions of tax exempt securities.
 If money is going to he loaned to any special class of individuals at special rates of interest, that class should at least be charged the actual cost of letting them have the money and not charge it up to the general taxpayer.

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND

North Dakota. which, under ire sponsible leadership, permitted itself to become the testing ground of that political upstart movement called the Non-Partisan League, is now reaping the whirlwind of it's sowing. Among it's experiments was state owned bank, and enthusiastic Leagu- CTS rushed to deposit tl'eir dollars, discrediting in large 1neasure the national or regular state banks of the commonwealth. They are at present experiencing. that sensation which arises from everything going out and nothing coming in, as un- fortunately for the depositors, tney are permitted to deposit all the money they can, but for the time being at least, they are unable tc make withdrawals.
 There is consolation in the thought that there are fuIty-seven other states in the Union and that they are now given the opportunity tC observe closely and then draw in ferences.
 It is rather rough on North Da kota, but Experience is always rougE in it's methods.

ORGANIZED LABOR's LAST HOPE

Organized labor as operated for the past five years by the paid dis turber, has reached the end of its rope, and now two straws are being grasped in the dying struggle to re- tain a foothold on ground that is growing terribly slippery.
 The more conservative element of the disturbers- are in Washington, trying to scare members of Congress in to another investigation of the textile industry and so far it is hard sledding for them, as facts in hand hardly substantiate the ex- travagant statements presented in favor of this investigation,
 The radical elements are going back to first principles and advocate direct methods which mean destroy ing machinery, smashing windows, etc, to accomplish their ends. Both plans will fail in accomplishing any definite results.
 Organized labor has overshot the mark. During the war rush it ruled the mills and gave unfair return for the extravagant wage it received. This is. now a matter of history and cannot besrepeated and every ill-ad- vised effort to resist the wage cut and make undue trouble for the mill corporations simply advances the day of the open shop and the passing of the raid disturber.
 There was time when it was easy to get sympathy and more or less action in Washington by the irres- ponsible labor organizations. But the vote in November shows how well they reciprocated and since then there has been very little inter est shown The new administration is not likely to contribute material ly toward wrecking our industries and the best advise for organized labor is go to work and let work fully occupy body and mind until such a time as industry is on its feet and in position to increase labor's share of the proceeds.-From Fibre and Fabric.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY
 INSTEAD OF TAXES

Everywhere, in Arizona as in other states the politician and public office holder, instead of trying to reduce or restrict the tax burdens of the people are trying to pile up more.
 The taxpayers back is bent with tax burdens but it isn't hroken and that is probably the reason why the politician wants to increase the load.
 This is the time of all TOT econ omy in public office. It is the time of all to grub out useless office hold CTS and commissions and reduce the cost of government to the minimum.
 The people are demanding, and rightly so, a reduction in the cost of living. With equal propriety and earnestness they are demanding a re- duction in the cost of government, for the cost of government is an element in the cost of living.
 As the law now stands cost of op- eration is a determining factor in the fixing of rates. Taxes are in .cluded in the cost of operation. This means that the tax burden will be passed on to the people, and the fact that they pay it indirect ly instead of directly will in no way tighten the load.
 In Arizona and elsewhere there can and should be a scaling down of public expenses. Numerous boards and commissions exist apparently for no other reason than that politicians are as impractical in business as they are extravagant in office
 What the people desire. is not more taxation, but more and better business methods and less tax ex- ploitation. Parasites, weather com , missions, bureaus, boards or indiyid- uals, should be. weeded out.
 In this respect it may be well for the politicians. to realize that the people are informed and are watch ing with care and anxiety. They will not be deceived by grand stand plays, nor cajoled nor fooled nor ap- peased by seductive appeals to thelr prejudice. The people want re- trenchment, want tax reduction, want better business methods. Those in public office who stand for such reform need not fear the conse- quences of being maligned. There are some things even the politician can not successfully camouhage.

 Due principally to increased ad- ministrative costs to handle this de- parture from the usual procedure, the secretary has ruled in addition that one per cent will be added to present fees for each month or ma jor fraction thereof of the period deferred prior to August l. The minimum amount of increase under this feature of the ruling will be one dollar.
