Dear readers of The Republican,
When the merry chimes of Christmas
eve peal forth their glorious splendor
of untold magnificence, may it be to
you as a personal expression of the
heartfelt sentiments of the writer.
Pause awhile and contemplate the tru-
ly great meaning conveyed to you by
the sound of the silvery bells. And
then allow the Interpretation to sink
deep into your heart so that a flower
of unusual beauty may blossom there,
eXhaling to the Christian world the
sweetest fragrance ever known.
The following few stanzas will ac-
quaint you with the exact nature of
the message as delivered to me in I'M
mistakable tones on the eve of last
Christmas:
Christmas Chimes.
Ring out, glad bells! Ring out.
Vibrant with joyous sound;
Unceasing thy magic cast
Until echoes in hearts are found.
o, bells of wondrous beauty,
That fills my soul with delight,
As | list to the chimes of music
Playing the Holy Night"
Until in spirit l am waited onward
10 brighter scenes afar,
Where radiant light of glory
Streams from silver star.
And visions of undimned splendor
Appear in bright array,
AS there dawns upon me the meaning
Of this wonderful Christmas day.
ST. ELMO.

wants to dance with lady with rufled dress on?"
 Dicky: "No, papa"
 Just then Dicky's mamma ac- cepted a dance with tall young gentleman named John, and as they would whirl by poor papa, one could trace just the least bit of mischief in Dicky's mammals brown eyes, while papa's eyes seemed to be little islands float ing in seas of sorrow. Justat that moment we overheard an old lady remark. Isn't little Dicky trained perfectly ?" And looked around and Dicky was still cling ing.
 Seldom, if ever have those ad- mirable hosts, lyg-. and Mrs. Clos sey, been so active as entertain CTS as has been the case the past fortnight. Friday evening they gave one of the loveliest of luncheons, at their spacious resi- dence, No. 448 Runaway drive. Among the guests from out of town were: MT. and Mrs. Perry Carter and son, MT. J. P. Fisher, of Holbrook; P. F. Harbrieght, of Joseph City; all of whom wis ited the Petrified Forest before returning to their respective homes.
 Chas. Won Achen, our local weather observer, says that the trap-door spiders are lining their nests with petrified wood; this action on their part, Charley says, indicates a very late spring.
 Section Foreman Chas. Von Achen's men say that he has is- sued orders for them not to be standing in the middle of the track while trains are passing. MT. Won Achen claims that one can never tell which train the road master is on.

CORPORATION BOARD MEMBERS FAVOR
 LOWER FREIGHT

As part of the program of indus trial and financial readjustment rail road rates must be reduced. This is the view taken by D. F. Johnson and Amos A. BettS, members of the state corporation commission, and that is one reason they are so anxious to see the regulation of intra-state rates placed back in the hands of the state commissions as before the war.
 Certainly if wages are to be re- duced 1 would say that the rail rates ! should be correspondingly reduced, ' said Johnson.
 "I would make this suggestion, '' said Belts. During the war period the wages were increased to the ex- tent of $600,000,000. To meet these increases the railroads were permit ted to raise rates sufficient to bring in $1 1,500,000,000 additional revenue. Let the reverse action at this time be taken, and it will be long step in the direction of permanent read justment."
 The railroads should make substan- tial reductions in their rates regard less of labor reductions, according to the commission. The roads claim that they are going broke fer two reasons: First, that wages are too high, and second, because of general inefficiency on the part of employees. But the com mission is not inclined to accept this view, and point out that the real trou- ble lies in the fact that there is a gen. eral depression and that present rates are so unreasonable that shippers can't afford to pay them.
 By maintaining high rates, say the ing to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.

SHEEP MEN SECURE
 COMMISSION RATE CUT

During the past yeT-i Eool growers ave adopted most radical measures T lowering expenses to a point in
 coping with reduced market prices f wool and lambs" said Hugh Camp ,ell, president of the Arizona Wool ifowers' association, who arrived
 oIne here this week.
 Owners and managers have been 5oIking as regular hands in addition o supervising the handling and move 1ent of the bands on the range, at -ending. to marketing and meeting the equirements of their bankers" he said. As
 While wages were reduced about iorty' per cent, supplies restricted in mount and price, some of the most ,urdensome items of expense were be- sond the. control of the sheep men,
 Freight rates constitute a tax of round 20 per cent of the value of the ,reducts of the market and because If having been established with Ccv- rnmental sanction, relief apparently aust await governmental action
 e'In one case, however, the sheep ,aen have found way to cut fixed .harges. An advance from S15.OO to :. 25.OO for selling a double deck car f sheep or lambs was put into effect ast August by the commission houses the market centers. The increase as voted by the members of the ex- .hange at. each market and the vote the majority became binding upon ach commission house. The National Wool Growers association discussed he rate question with representatives f the commission houses at its an lual convention in January. Later pecial committee called upon the of- icers of the exchanges at the six eading markets, but no reduction in ates could be obtained.
 Through action of the executive committees of the National and Idaho Wool Growers association, arrange nents have just been completed for he opening of houses to sell shce1 at he markets at the old rates The louses to be opened in June for re- ;eipt of western lambs, will be man lged by A. J. Knollin, Q national fig Ire in sheep affairs. Prior to 1912 Wr. Knollin conducted what was considered to be the largest and most widely known sheep commission bus ness in this country. Since that time e has been engaged in attending to lis own ranching interests His re- urn to the sheep commission work is made as a service to the industry and n the belief that the old rate is req enable charge. Mir. Knopin has been assured of large valu1ne of ship nents to be consigned to his houses n support of his undertaking. This business will go to the new houses re- yardless of rates established by old concerns, because sheep men realize he necessity of continuing patronage o the only possible plan of effecting he required reduction"

PROSPERITY WITHIN
 OURSELVES

The sooner we realize that prosperous conditions depend more on ourselves than on out side official aids the better for all.
 The farmer who depends on government to make him rich or make his land yield crops or mar ket them for him is waiting in vain.
 We must realize that prosper ity is the result of our own en- deavor and of our own savings and is not handed us by political devices.
 Organizations state and fed eral, laws and commissions are sources of profit to those who follow them and manage them, not to the people.
 Commissions to lend us mon ey, to show US how to live, all make more money and live bet ter than those they claim to be benefitting.
 Extending the functions of government is minimizing the opportunities of the individual and making him a burden~bear- ing slave for others.
 The state or nation for whom the government pretends to do the most is in the end the most impoverished and the heaviest taxed.
 We cannot tax or govern our selves into affiuence, but our prosperity begins when we re- solve to spend less than our in comes and save and develop.

A TAXPAYERS STRIKE

There is danger ofan organized taxpayers strike if taxes keep going higher. In one large west ern county, out of $7, 7,50O,OOO taxes due up to April 5, only $2,- 5OO,OOO was paid and the rest became delinquent and will draw twelve per cent interest as a pen atty. How many pieces of prop erty of business concerns will keep up with the twelve per cent increase that is automatically added when the taxes become delinquent? It looks like a gen eral strike of those who pay against those who impose the taxes. In single counties 1900 pieces of property were sold for taxes.

GOOD SCOUTS
Mrs. w. B. Cross Mrs. c. E. Jennings

People who only ask. the re- ward of work well done, have an outstanding virtue worthy of eX- traordinary mention.
 This week we have selected the above named ladies, whose quiet, unobtrusive work at home and in their church stamp them as being women of unusual char acter. They do not come into public notice very often because of their labors, but their work, both for and in their church and at home, make them very worthy, indeed.
