WILL OPERATE BIG
MILL IN SONORA

Douglas = Milard Haymore, OF
the Sonora Mercantile Company,
stated Thursday of last week,
that the 75-barrel Touring mill
owned by the company at Aqua
Prieta, is now running night and
day and turning out a splendid
quality of flour, which is finding
a ready demand In the northern
part of the state of Sonora in
Mexico.
Mr.. Haymore stated that at
present the mill is unable to sup
ply all the demand for the pro-
duct The -four is shipped to
Nacozali. where the Moctezuma
Copper Company is the largest
customer. The Ei Tigre camp is
also supplied by the Aqua Prieta
mill. Arrangements are now
under way for supplying the en-
tire Cananea district with the
Star" brand of -four made at
the mill of the Sonora Mercantile
Company, at Aqua Prieta.
Victor Holding who has been
operating the -four mill at SAT-
ford, Arizona. arrived in Doug

the mill at Aqua Prieta. He,
with Turner West and Jack Far.

ford more than year ago. This

ton, was finally combined with
the mill already in Stafford and
controlled by the Goldschmits. OF
Tucson. Mr.. Holding is an ex-
perienced miller and says that
the plant at Aqua Prieta is OF
modern type and capable of max.
ing as good flour as can be turned
out by any mill in the Southwest.

betweensthe price to the produc-
er and the cost to the consumer
could be eliminated, or at least a
great proportion of this margin
would be absorbed by forced
increase in the price paid to the
producer and a corresponding
decrease in the cost to the con-
sumer.
The republican advocates of
the Fordney tariff bill would
justify the provision of the bill
by claiming that the high pro-
teetiye schedules will protect
American labor against the cheap
labor of foreign countries. This
contention is as old and thread
bare as the tariff question itself.
Labor has not forgotten the ef-
feet of the Payne -Aldrich tariff
law under which they guaranteed
high wages. 1t will also be re-
membered by the laboying men
and women of America that DUR
ing the time the Payne-Aldrlch
law was in force wages paid by
American factories were so re-
duced, and the price of Ameri-
can raw material so beaten down,
that the American factories were
able to sell at the very door of
the European factories Ameri-
can made articles at price be-
low that being asked by the for
eign factories, and at a price be-
low that which the employees of
the American factories were com
PEELED to pay for the same article.
This paper agrees with the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and other
prominent dailies that the pro-
posed tariff bill is obnoxious and
reactionary-its schedules are so
framed as TO delay and perhaps
check complete restoration of
prosperity. 1t is certain to make
a higher cost on articles of every
day consumption at a time when
the trend of prices is downward.
The only interests that want
this kind of a tariff are those
whose bank account will be
swelled at the expense of t,ie
American people who sell raw
materials and buy manufactured
goods" +"
If we are to be relieved from
present conditions by republican
''readjustment." then let US
choose the lesser evil and forego
the painful ordeal of having the
remedy applied.

New Plans for German Reparation

TN speech before the economic council OF the
4 Rechstag, Dr. Simons, the German foreign min
ister stated that before long it would be neces-
sary again to into negotiations with the allies.
He advocated that the proposals should en-
phaszc plans for providing labor and materials for
construction and that it would be well to seek to nd
means of .alleviatng the economic conditions Of
France. This he believed to be possible only by the
employment of German labor, which might be put
forward as security for loan. Since that time the
attention of Germany has been absorbed by the Upper
Silesian plebiscite and the Communist uprising.
Now that the plebiscite is and the crisis
brought about by the Communists has passed. reports
from Germany indicate that proposal along the lines
suggested in DIR. Simons speech will be made shortly
the allies Pressure is also being brought to bear
by the British to encourage attempts to secure
peaceful solution of the reparation question without
resort to further occupation of German territory.
Previous proposals to import German labor and
to utilize German machines and materials in the dew
asated regions have met with serious opposition from
French labor and commercial interests. The French
are beginning realize however that is impossible
to repair the damage done and to put French de-
sroyed Industrial plants in condition to begin
duction unless something is received from Germany
besides gold and coal. The indications that when

they are made in the proper spirit they will receive
