AN INDUSTRIAL CENTER

Los Angeles is a shining ex- ample of the fact that industrial development and community development go hand in hand.
 For years Los Angeles was known as a millionaires' play ground".
 Slowly but surely the value of industries was recognized by that city, and for some years past it's Chamber of Commerce has been backing every move ment that looked to the future industrial growth of Los Ange- les and the surrounding country.
 Industrial development has been it's slogan and from a show place and recreation point for the seasonal tourist, Los Ange- les has emerged as one of the great manufacturing centers of this nation. It has reached a tries draw other industries.
 As city it has maintained satisfactory working conditions for the employe and the inves- tor, and today Los Angeles is probably the finest example of the result of concerted com munity action for industrial growth, that can be found in this na uion.
 This is not an avertisement for Los Angeles, but tip to other western cities to go out and do likewise with the oppor- tunitIes now afforded for indus trial growth of the western states.

JOBS AND WAGES

According to statements made by 8, Massachusetts representa- tive at the unemployment con- ference, the widespread idleness is not due so much to lack of work as to the unwillingness of of workers to accept reduced wages. a~
 There is no question that this factor has a great deal to do with the situation throughout the country. And it puts a large share of the responsibility for the industrial depression square ly up to labor.
 It is natural enough for work. men to object to wage cuts, just as it is natural enough for em- ployers to object to price cuts. Both, however, are. imperative, if conditions are to improve, and both are justifiable. Iuasmuch as manufacturers and merchants have had the price reduction gospel pretty thoroughly pound ed into them, it seems fitting that wage earners should hear more of the same gospel.
 Reports show that American workmen have at the same time the highest wages and the lowest prices in the world, by 8 big margin. Reports show also which is more to the point-that the cost of living has dropped, in this country, faster than wages. It is agreed generally that American labor had a square deal in the matter of levelling boom wages up to boom prices. If anything, labor had the better of it in that process. It is unfair now for labor to ex- pect to maintain it's boom wages in a time of falling prices. If the two should go up together, they should go down together.
 This is more than mere the ory, as the Massachusetts ex- pert shows. for refusal to accept & reasonable wage defiation checks the whole process and keeps the. workmen from earn ing any wages at all. Refusal of merchants in general to lower prices when they can buy their stock more cheaply would have similar effect. It workmen are justified in holding out for their boom wages, merchants are jus tified in holding out for their boom prices.

COUNTY WINS TAX SUIT.
Baca Float Win Pay SIoo,ooo Back
 Texes.

After four years of litigation, brought to a successful conclu sion in the United Sta tes Su preme Court by the efforts of Attorney Leslie c. Hardy. Santa Cruz county was yesterday awarded a verdict in the famous Baca Float Tax Case in the sum $1OO, 900 due for back taxes. says Tuesday mornings Democrat.
 The judgment of the Arizona Supreme Court which was favor able to Santa Cruz county stands, the United States Su preme Court. refusing to con- slider the case, according to the following telegram, to Attorney Hardy, who returned from Washington. Sunday, after argu ing the case on behalf of Santa Cruz county before the highest tribunal in the land:
 Washington. D. c. Nov. 21, 1921
 Attorney L.. C.. Hardy,
 Nogales, Arizona.
 Watts, ct al, Arizona ex Rel Burgoon dismissed for want of iui isdiction.
 William R. Stansbury clerk"
 The argument for the owners of the Baca Float was presented by attorney J. w. Bailey, former United States senator from Texas and s. L.. Kingan, of Tucson.
 Back taxes, amounting to ap proximately $1OO,OOO. including Interest and penalties are involv- ed, the taxes being for the years 1913, If, 15 and 16, on the entire float.
 The case was started here September 27, 1917, a judgment being rendered for the county for two years, and against the county for two years. The case appealed to the Arizona State Supreme Court, which rendered a judgement for the county for all four years. Then the Baca Float people appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
 The case is entitled Cornelius O. Watts, ct al, versus the State of Arizona, at the relation of. Burgoon, Burgoon being county treasurer when the suit was started.
 Watts and Dabney c. T. Davis own the south half of the float, and Weldon Bailey, son of For mer Senator Bailey. the north half. They contend that the land, which consists of 100, ,OOO acres, an old Spanish grant was not taxable for 1913 and 1914. because the survey by the gov ernment had not been filed pre- vious to the levying of taxes, and that for 1915 and 1916 the respective ownerships were not separately assessed.
 Attorney Hardy, who was thoroughly familiar with the case presented masterful argu. ment, which is shown through the fact that he was opposed by two of the most noted lawyers in the southwest. , During the time that he has been preparing his argument and collecting the necessary data, attorney Hardy has paid his own expenses having agreed with the board of supervisors to take the case on a basis of ten per cent of the amount of the taxes collected if he was success full and not to be reimbursed by the county if the case was lost.
 The success of attorney liar dy, is greatly appreciated by the tax payers of the county and stamps him as one the brightest young lawyers practicing before the Arizona bar.

FISHERIES BUREAU
 URGES RELIEF FOR
 SLUMPING INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Produc- tion and consumption of fishery products, stimulated and encouraged by governmental and other agencies as war measure, have shown a de- cided slump, according to the Bureau of Fisheries.
 A large under-consumptio of fish, advancing prices, of labor and ma terials and a curtailment in the ex- port trado the report says, have placed many fishermen in a serious situation.
 As the majority of fishermen are small individual producers, who have devoted their lives to their call ing, exposed to unusual hardships and dangers, with little or no train ing for change of livelihood, the Bureau of Fisheries says it is inn te afforded them. It is endeavoring to render the industry such aid as it can with the exceedingly limited funds at it's disposal.
 Production of fish in the first ten months of 1920 showed a falling off of more than 16,OO0,000 pounds ya.lued at $6O0,000, as. compared with the same period of 1919, ac- cording to the bureau. Many of the large New England travellers have been tied up for lack of proper mar kets and rroduction of groupers on the Gulf Coast has been reduced by lack of demand in American mar kcts These are representative of the conditions today in the fisheries of the entire country, the Bureau of Fisheries says.
 The 1920 pack of the canned sal mon, including Alaska, is about 3,500,000 cases less than in 1917 and includes 2,500,000 cases of cheaper grades which it is reported are being offered for less than the cost of production and can be sold with profit by the retailers at a low price. Gamers of sardines and the cheaper grades of tuna are con fonded with similar difficulties.
