PITTMAN ACT WILL STAND


 in discussing the Pittman Act ana the silver situation, Senator Pittman, of Nevada, said:
 q am confident the future of sil- yer is safe. The Pittman Act will never be repealed. What little op, position there was a short time ago to the purchase of domestic silver at $1 an ounce by the United States treasury department is dying out as result of intelligent opposition on the part of engineers and mining men all over the country"
 The public has been shown that the Pittman Act does simple justice to the miner at not a penny's expense to the taxpayer.
 Senator Pittman said he believed the fund established under the Pitt man Act would be perpetual, inas much as before the entire amount of white metal sold to Great Britain during the war had been purchased. the price of foreign silver would eX- ceed the set price of $1 an ounce.
 AS soon as this is the case", rne senator continued. the purchase of United States silver by the govern ment would automatically cease and domestic stocks of metal be diverted to Europe and the Orient. Foreign demand with domestic consumption would be ample to insure the exist ence of the fund created by the Pittman Act for many years as soon as conditions in Europe return to normal.

The fair commissioners are busily engaged at present making arrange ments for the third annual Greenlea county fair, which will be held at the Duncan high school building on Sat urday, No. 5, for one day only. The exhibits promise to be equal to those. of the preceding fairs.
 Competition is always keen at the fairs here, and for this reason judges who are familiar with every phase of their subject and who are experts in their lines are absolutely neces- sary. For this reason the fair con- mission, through the county agricul- tural agent, has requested the Uni verSity of Arizona to supply the judges this year, thus insuring a fair and impartial judging of all exhibits

HIGHEST TAXES IN ARIZONA

The Republican state administration in Arizona has with impunity disre- garded the promises made to the voters in the last campaign Those elected to conduct the affairs of the state have seemingly assumed the people-be-dammed' policy; arrogance, indifference and insincerity charac terize the acts of the Arizona Repub- 1ican officeholder, of today. Extra Vagance became so apparent that the taxpayers appealed to the Gov ernor for a special session of the ! legislature, in the hope that some means could be found whereby eX- penditures would be reduced. To this | appeal the Governor turned a deaf ear, dismissing the request with the suggestion that he could persuade 1 the heads of our state departments and institutions to reduce eXpendi- 1 lures without legislative interfer- | ence.
 | Have you any evidence that the 1 economy promised by the Governor | is being practiced? Before answer | ing this question examine your tax notice for the year 1921. Examine i the notice particularly ill reference l to the amount you are asked to cOu- tribute towards the payment of the expense of the State Government. Someone has suggested, and in our opinion the suggestion is timely one, that if the Governor really thought that the cost of State gov
 ernment could be reduced by per suasion" he should have persuaded
 himself to reduce the appropriations made by the last Legislature through
 the exercise of his veto power.
 Recently the Phoenix Messenger
 in commenting upon the ever-increas
 ing burden of taxation in Arizona
 said: The average cost of govern
 ment for the several states of the
 United States, during the year begin ming July 1, 1920 and ending June 30
 1921, was S6.O5 per capita. This cos
 varying from $40 in South Caro- lima, the lowest, to $2O4O in Arizona
 the highest, or for Arizona, S14.4i
 above the average and $1S1O greate
 than South Carolina the lowest"
 It should be borne in mind that il
 1915 under Democratic administra : tion the total cost of the State gov ; ernment was s2,924,597. In 1920 : under a Republican administrator the cost of our state government wa l. $7,451 ,6S1.

THAT OLD COPPER KETTLE

On big dairy farm tho farmer was feeding bull calf his daily ration of skim milk out of a big copper ket- tie.
 It held about ten gallons and was battered up and stained with age and looked as if it had been through the wars.
 Asked about it the farmer said that kettle had been in the family for four generations and was liable to last four more.
 The family brought it out with them from Ohio across the plains with an OK team along with other household belongings
 It had been used to heat water ana cook rations for large company Of immigrants hut was now handed over to the live stock.
 Still it was good for generations C come because copper does not rust and does not crack and cannot be broken or easily worn out
 There is q lesson in that coppe' kettle for all westerners. who want indeStructible implements made of { western product For the west is the land of the red metal that needs to go into more general use for building, household utensils and tools.
 The manufacture of copper kitcnel l ware, dairyware. hotel and retaurant equipment, should become q large western industry.

How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked--In what way are Chamberlain's Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic and liver pills? Our answer is, they are easier and more pleasant to take and their effect is so gentle that one hardly realizes that it is produced by medicine. Then. they not only move the bOwles but improve the ap- petite and strengthen the digestion.

at the same time known in the criminal
world as Charles Reiser, king of safe
blowers" today held the widow, Mrs.
Madeline Shope for questioning. my

SELF was her explanation.
The suicide theory was upheld by the
discovery of a tiny pistol in Slopes
hand. Mrs. Shope had brought it to him,
she said, shortly before he died.
Slope was known to his neighbors as
trustworthy and honest. He appeared
to be devoted to his wife, their daugh-
ter Verna, II, and son Kenneth, il. He
owned the home in which he lived and the
$4,000 apartment next door.
Yet in the underworld he was known
as the "safe blower king" he was one
of the most dangerous cracksmen in the
