HOW RENO GETS RESULTS
 FROM THE CHAIN-GAN

Reno's new chain gang, composed "come-backs" at the city jail, starte functioning recently.
 Al Pfeffer, special officer, is ii. charge of the gang, and his answe. to predictions that he cannot get the men to work is system whereby a certain amount of work is allotted in a certain time, the men to be allowed to loaf if they finish inside the limit.
 The result is that the men speed up their assault on weeds and debris in back streets and alleys, and then sit in the shade, roll cigarettes and dis cuss economic conditions.
 Also, they get three squares day instead of the two served to inmates of the city jail who do not work.
 The gang will be maintained until the streets and alleys are cleaned up, at least, and Chief of Police Kirkley proposes to find other "work for idle hands to do."

BOY PAL OF ZANE GREY
 KILLS BIG GRIZZLY BEAR

George Taught, fourteen year old boy, killed a giant grizzly bear on his way home from school recently. George, his three little sisters and brothers were on their way from school near Payson when they sudden ly rounded turn and were encounter ed by an 800 pound bruin. Bruin, on being disturbed, reared to his full height and was about to crush one of the smaller children, when George shot him through the neck with a high powered p caliber Savage rife. The shot was fatal and the bear yas kill ed instantly, George is the son of Babe Taught, trapper and guide for Zane Grey, the author. The gun with which George killed the bear was giv- en to him and. his name is engraved on it. The children while on their way to school the day before had seen a bunch of wild turkeys. George was carrying the gun in hopes of bagging a turkey with the small gun when he encountered the bear.

ADDITIONAL STATE NEWS

1 problem is not peculiar to the United
 States, which naturally would be the
 case if it were due to the republican
 administration. Secretary Davis sets forth an exhaustive analysis of unem- ployment in other countries, based on
 official reports. It shows that in Eng
 land, one-fifth of the entire trade
 union membership is out of, work; in
 Belgium, 32 per cent; Holland, 24 per , cent; Denmark, 19 per cent; Norway, 16 per cent; Sweden, % per cent. In
 Italy the number of idle men has doubled since the first of the year; it is now 413,000 and growing worse
 daily. In little Switzerland, 136,000 are idle or on part time and for every 100 vacant jobs, public employment office reports SS0 applicants. This goes to show that unemployment is a worldwide condition and accusations that the present degree of idleness in this country is the result of republican administration are a combination of low demagogy and partisan clap-trap.
 Secretary Davis gives the demo- cratic partisans who are charging the unemployment situation to the repub- lican administration something that will, to use a slang expression, "hold them for awhile" He sets forth the figures to show that while there are 5,735,000 less people at work now than there were in 1920, when more people were at work than ever before in the history of this country, (the number of wage earners of all kinds, except ing agricultural workers, in 1920 reach ing the unprecedented total of be- tween 18,0O0,000 and 20,000,000) in 1914, when times were supposed to be normal, the unemployed in this coun- try numbered 100000 and the ratio of the unemployed to the number of workers in 1914 was greater by very wide margin than is true today. The Secretary says to get true perspect- i've and fair conclusion as to the real

SECRETARY OF LABOR
 HITS EXAGGERATED :
 REPORTS OF IDLEESS

Secretary of Labor Davis has issued a statement which confirms what has been said in these columns upon sev- eral occasions, namely; that the ex- tent of unemployment in this country has been grossly exaggerated; and that the statement issued by the de- partment of labor some weeks ago to the effect there are approximately G. 100000 less names on payrolls now than there were early in 1920 does not by any means indicate that there is anything like nearly 6,000,000 men out of work.
 Upon this particular point Secre- tary Davis says: '"The statement has been constantly made in the news and editorial columns of newspapers that the department of labor has reported 5,735,000 men as being out of work. The department of labor has reported no such thing. It did report that, ac- cording to the best estimate that could be made, there are 5,735,000 fewer men, women and children now on pay rolls than there were in March, 1920. That is a very different matter from saying there are 5,735,000 men unem- ployed." In the opinion of the sec retary of labor, not more than one third of the 5,735,000 people are the principal bread-winners of families.
 Secretary of Labor Davis does not refer directly or indirectly to the re- cent tirade of Samuel Gompers ac- cusing the Harding administration of being responsible for the unemploy- ment in this country, but he does take all the wind out of Mir. Gompers' sails by showing that the unemployment

The amendments adopted give women the right to vote; pro- hibits aliens ineligible to citizenship from owning or leasing land; provid- ing for exemption from taxation prop erty to the amount of $2,000 of every honorably discharged soldier, and au- thorizing the legislature to issue road bonds up to $2,000,000.
 The amendments defeated were:
 Removing limitation for reelection of state and county superintendents of schools; enlarging powers of the state corporation commission; budget amendment which provided for the governor taking office December 1, following his election; proposing a commission of three to administer the affairs of the state land office, and linn iting the maximum taxation rate for schools.

ARRESTED, TRIED AND
 SENTENCED TO PRISON
 IN LESS THAN "A HOURS

Arrested, tried and sentenced to the penitentiary less than 24 hours after he committed a robbery and only seven hours after he reported to the sheriff's office at Stafford, Monday, is the record made in the case of Theo- dore Shufelt.
 A store of Lee Carpenter of Ash land, twenty miles west of Stafford, was robbed of s20 Monday night. At 9:30 o'clock in the morning the sher- iff's office was notified and deputies went to the store where they found finger prints of the robber. They traced him to Stafford, arrested Shu- felt at noon, confronted him with the finger prints and he confessed. He was given preliminary hearing in justice court, arraigned in the superior court, pleaded guilty and was sent enced to from fourteen to fifteen months in the state prison at four o'clock Monday afternoon.

MEXICAN CHEESE SMUGGLER
 EASILY CAPTURED BY SMELL

The next time Pedro Mendez at- tempts to smuggle cheese into the United States from Mexico, he will probably carry over cheese not quite so strong as that which caused his arrest recently.
 Mendez was captured in Beck's Canyon, as he was smuggling over sixty pounds of Mexican cheese from Nogales, Sonora. If the cheese had not been so strong-strong enough to walk by itself-he probably would have gotten by the United States customs officer who was lying behind a mesquite bush in the canyon, wait ing to capture smugglers.
 The officer was dozing at the time Mendez came along. He smelled the strong cheese, and it quickly awaken. ed him and he immediately placed Mendez under arrest.

TIN LIZZIE FOUND GUILTY
 OF CARRYING BOOZE

Charged with having allowed itself to be used for the transportation of four gallons of intoxicating liquor, the Ford car of James Koontz, recently sentenced for bootlegging, was tried in Judge Lamson's court and found guilty without word being offered ih it's defense. Koontz, who was present in the court room, made no at tempt to refute the charge against the automobile. Deputy Sheriffs James Cook and Grant Carter, on the other hand, testified that when they arrested Koontz on his way to Pres cott with the cargo of liquor they found the illegal beverage concealed in the defendant flivver. Grant Car ter told the court he knew the bever- age contained in the four-gallon con- tainer was both alcoholic and intoxi- eating, he having tested it-with a hydrometer syringe. Judge Lamson declared the Ford guilty and ordered it sold into bondage by the sheriff.,

FOREST SERVICE
 WANTS MORE RANGERS

III OrueT tO III vacancies III .ne ranger force of the forest service, the U. s. civil service commission an nounces an open competitive examin- ation for forest ranger on October 25. In Arizona the examination will be held in Clifton, Flagstaff, Prescott, Roosevelt, Stafford, Snowflake, Spring erville, Tucson and Williams, and in New Mexico in Alamagordo, Albu- querque, Magdalena, Santa Fe, Silver City, and Taos. Persons desiring to take the examination may secure ap- plication form 1912 from the civil ser vice commission, Washington, D. C., from the forest supervisor at any of the examination places above mention ed, or from the district forester, AL buquerque. The commission urges that applicants secure this form i'm mediately.
 The work of the forest ranger is largely outdoors, in mountainous for est regions, and the forest service is particularly anxious to secure men who like mountain work, are willing to endure hardship if necessary, and can take care of themselves and their |saddle-horses in remote regions. Ap- plicants must be able-bodied, and are required to pass medical examina- ton; and must be between the ages of twenty-one and forty years. Persons entitled to preference because of mil itary or naval service are released from age requirements. Rangers must be capable of performing such man. ual labor as fighting forest fires, and building cabins, trails, and telephone lines. They must have at least a common school education, and know the rudiments of compass surveying timber sealing and estimating, land laws, and the livestock industry. A good fund of common sense and some experience in kindred lines of work such as engineering or numbering, will materially help applicants.
 Applicants who reside in the state where they take the examination are given preference in appointment over non-residents. No particular period of citizenship is required, but it must be bona fide, as shown in the statements in the application for examination. Preference is also given by act of con- gress to honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, who should at- tach to their applications their origin al discharge, or a photostat copy or certified copy thereof, or their official record of service, which will be re- turned after inspection by the com mission.
 Appointees receive the initial pay of $1220 per year, and those whose ser vices are satisfactory may be allowed after the first month the temporary increase of $20 per month granted by congress. The continuance of this in- crease beyond June 30, 1922, however, is contingent upon further action by congress. In most cases quarters are provided by the government. Rangers are required to furnish saddle horses, two being the usual requirement; but

industrial situation today, the unem- ployment figures of today must be read in relation to the winter of 1913- IA, compared to which we are much better off.
 Although Secretary Davis does not attempt to explain the reasons for the unprecedented idleness in 1913 and 1914, records show that it was due to the fact that the Underwood tariff had begun to get in its work. Follow ing it's enactment, unemployment be- gan to increase at once as industries began to slow down because of the increasing flow of foreign importa- tions. Unemployment increased and prosperous times decreased until the precipitation of war in Europe, with its consequent demand upon this coun- try for all sorts of material, stepped in to suspend automatically the bane- ful effects of the democratic tariff.
