ARGUE WORSLEY
SUIT DEMURRER
Tucson Attorney Claims His
Appointment AS Assistant
Last Year Was Legal

Argument on demurrer of the de-
PENDANT in the mandamps case of A.
Worsley vs.. the Board of Supervisors
was heard yesterday by Judge Sames
in Department . OF the superior court
at Tombstone and the case was taken
under advisement by the court.
County Attorney j. f. Ross. repre-
senting the supervisors. demurred to
the petition of the plaintiff, setting
forth the grounds that the appoint
ment of Worsley as deputy county at
torney was not legal inasmu "a as the
statutes HAD not been col I'd with,
Worsley not being qualifled elector
and further, that his appointment
had not been duly recorded in the Of
flee of the county recorder. This
point was also raised in the former
suit which went to the supreme court.
The plaintiff, through his attorney,
o. Gibson. resisted the demurrer.
claiming that the appointment of
Worsley was Only as an assistant
made under the 1919 statute. and.
therefore, it was not necessary that
his appointment be recorded and
neither must he be qualified cleo
tor. The case hinges principally on
this point
The argument took up most of the
day, many cases being cited by both
sides. The court will render his de-
cision on the demurrer early this
week, he announced. when other
points will be presented.

FACTORIES ADD GREAT
WEALTH TO THE STATE

The factories OF Washington added
state during the year of 1919. The
Manufacturers Association of Wash
ington is the authority for these fig
ures which were compiled as well
as other interesting data on the in
dustries of the state, from report
Just received from the bureau of the
census. L. s. department of COM
merce
There are 1919 factories in the
state and during 1919 they manu-
featured products valued at $500
635, 900; this valuation represents
their selling value or price at the
plants as actually turned out by the
factories during the census year, and
is not necessarily the gross value of
those same products for that year.
The payroll of the state is another
interesting item. During the year
mentioned there were 150,4S2 per-
SOIS enSdSCu III Tic lctttOI ltS anu
the payroll for the year amounted to
$225,757, 900, this means that for
every one of the 1,356,316 persons
credited to the state by the 1919 CEN
sus the factories disbursed during
the year the equivalent of more than
$40 per person.
The enormous amount of energy
involved in carrying on these manu-
featuring enterprises may be gather
ed from the fact that 587,7 horse
power is daily engaged by the fac
tories in carrying on their activities.
An idea of the percentage of gain
may be taken from the following ia

ECONOMY

1t is surprising, when one CON
siders the matter, that taxpayers
have never considered economy nee
essary in the conduct Of govern
ment 1t was not until the tax rate
became confiscatory in nature that
taxpayers began to feel that govern
meut business was also their bust
ness. a new attitude on the part of
the public is beginning to be felt,
and whenever this crystallizes into
decisive demand and action there
will be a change in the manner in
which government affairs are con
Quoted
Taxpayers must realize that the
government is not something alb
stract and intangible, to be conduct
ed by duly elected officials without
interference or advice from the gen
eral public. In fact. government is
of the people and by the people and
if it is extravagant and wasteful and
managed in an inefficient manner it
is the fault of the people back of it.
Indifference and neglect will
wreck any business; it will eventu-
ally wreck any government. Tax
payers must consider the administra-
ton of government as their own par
ticular business, as vital as the
bread and butter job. When it is
so considered. government will func-
ton in a businesslike fashion,

THE RULE OF Toll

Some men today are trying to set
aside an old, old rule 1t was
framed in these words in a very old
book, read by old-fashioned people
now and then;
I'm the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread, till thou return unto
the ground"
The things on which "a high value
is set are the things that come by
effort we appraise house, a
statue, a book, symphony, a
bridge a railroad. a city by the eff
fort spent to build it, A citizen is
honored who has added one day to
another to make lifetime of sery-
ice. The rule is that we must earn
what We get Sometimes by acct
dent prizes go to those who have
not deserved them. But the excep-
ton merely proves the rule
When the workers in factory
say, as they said in Russia, Let us
get rid of the boss and run the bust
ness ourselves" they may get rid
of an individual, but they can not
dispose of a law
The law they attempted to de-
throne was that of the reward Of
merit and the survival of the fittest
Days of toll and nights of work
are put into the upbulding of a
flourishing concern. The irresponsi-
BILE. who shared nothing of the la
Dor and anxiety and took their pay
securely. do not see that in denying
any man the chance to rise by his
own determined effort to a post of
leadership they deny a chance to
all
They wish to seize the fruits of
another's travail He has accumu-
lated and they pounce on his pros
perity and divide the spoil If they
have right to take that which
they have not earned, others have
the same right to come to them and
deprive them of their stolen goods.
The world is not safe for democ-
racy till the right Of a man, be he
poor or rich. to his own property is
assured. We can not live by rob
bling one another. 1t will never be
right that some who have snoozed
in the shade while others were
sweating in the sun should rise up
and take by force what the workers
have earned and put by.-Philadel-
