MEETINGS OF TWO
LEADING PARTIES

There have been three meetings un-
der partisan auspices held in Salmon,
The first was the Robertson meeting
called in August when the party now
in power sought to take the kick out
of high taxes by applying the Robert
SON an.idote. Then came Candidate
Moore, who is also a part of the pres
ent regime at Boise to set up ex-
cuses for deplorable conditions. And
last comes Congressman French 10 tell
about his connection with House Bill
m, which was a gigantic steal in the
interest of Senator Gooding and his
brother Fred. Mr.. French says he
thought the measure all right and
therefore introduced it. Not one of
these speakers had one word to say in
the way of promising the least bit of
progressive Legislation in the future,
not even promising to reduce taxes in
any practical way. All said the reduc-
tion of taxes is impossible at this
time. That may be true with FIVE
hundred employees at the state house
as against less than two hundred
there during the Alexander admins
tyation. Another partisan speaker here
at home has gone so far as to say
that taxes cannot be reduced even in
our own county, and that also may be
very true, with himself drawing pay
as city attorney and also as assistant
county attorney and his wife on the
payroll of the county too. No man has
yet been found willing to reduce taxes
at the same time reducing himself TO
the ranks.
Lawyer Glennon frankly says he
can't see any way to reduce taxes.
Let US take him at his word and send
the other fellow TO the senate.
4 Not more than score or two of
people heard these speakers and il is
perhaps well for them that so
few hearers came out, for there Is a
backspring tn all such bunk when
offered an audience. Even the few that
came 20 hear went away convinced of
the insincerity of much that was said
In this sense the meetings mentioned
have been frosts.
On the other hand there have been
three democratic meetings held in Sal
mon, the first great gathering on
Island park at the famous barbecue,
when Governor Alexander and others
spoke, besides the Williams and Wat
ers meetings, at both Of which there
were ten times as many interested
hearers as at either of the three meet.

From Alexander down, the demo-
cratic speakers, wishing TO serve all
the people, have asked all the people
to join with them in bringing abou.

such a cause will not be a partisan
victory at all but il will be .remend-
Gus victory for the people.

 Almost every profession and industry of Arizona is represent ed in her law making body. The cowboy, sheepman and attorney is on a fifty-ffty. basis-nine of each.
 Farmers and real estate on the same basis six of each.

 Curlee. chairman of the appro- priations committee was remem- bered by the chaplain in his pray CT. In the course of the invoca- tion, the chaplain said he had heard of a bird that sang rather loudly. He trusted that the bird of the same name from Cochise would pitch his tones in a lower key.
 Should the chaplain make h's exit from this world through Cur lees undertaking parlors he might welcome any audible sound.

APACHE COUNTY
 ROAD BONDS SOLD

During the Regular session of the Board of Supervisors Monday of this week, the road bonds which were voted for in January. were sold to the Bankers Trust Company, of Denver.
 There were several offers or bids on the bonds but the Bank CTS Trust Company bid was con- sidered the best one as it gives the county par and a premium of 912.75.
 Money matters have been and still are very tight in Apache county, but the selling of these bonds ought to help money mat ters some and give employ ment to the many who are now out of employment and are in neod. If the bond money is handled pro- perly much good can be accom- plished in road building and many people given employment.

CAMERON

This is the name of the senator from Arizona. elected a few months ago. He has just done one of the strangest things in the annals of politics. Let his name be remembered, Cameron.
 The Grand Canyon is in Sena- tor Cameron's state. The sub ject for discussion in the senate is a $90, GOO apportionment for the canyon to make it more inviting to visitors. Cameron makes a speech against it. This spending of public money in states where national parks are located in order to gratify the whim of a few who would profit by the ex- penditures" he pronounces worse than useless. And the appropri- ation is stricken out.
 There is a record in Nebraska of two Lancaster county senators voting against an appropriation for new building on the state fair grounds. With that eXcep- tion. this Grand Canyon case seems to be the only instance in American politics where repre- sentative voted agains; appropri- ating public money to his own district.
 Senator Comeron, if our mem ory holds, had something to do at one time with developing the Grand Canyon enterprise. He may prove to have a grievance against the present management. One must make his cynical reser- vations, lest he be humiliated as all easy mark. But granted that the senator's deed did not spring from pure love; the need remains. And the name of the doer is Cam on.-Lincoln State Journal.

w. B. Farr Buys Property

w. B. Farr recently purchased the Umberger place, adjoining his dwelling, and is rapidly in- creasing the size of his dairy. The new acquisition gives Mir. Farr a space 1123x164 feet. He is building stalls and stanchions for 16 cows, and is putting in heavy floors. in order to make the place as clean and sanitary as possible. George Brown of St. Johns will have charge of the place, being experienced in that line. Mir. Brown is in Holbrook now, and Tuesday, wrote to St Johns to have his family come down and join him.

In Memorial of Our Friend
Media Mae (White) Stuart.

Media Mae (White) Stuart.
 To any one who may read the records of the Floy Sunday school be it known that in the organlza- tion of this Sunday school that Media Mae Stuart (nee) White was elected as secretary of same. which position she filled with credit to herself and honor to the s. s. up to the time of her mar riage which moving away severed her relation as secretary, but she remained faithful member until death.
 Now the Floy s. s. begs leave to express it's deep sorrow and regret in the loss of our dear friend, that we come in session with this resolution, and say: That whereas it has pleased AL mighty God to take from among us, one of our dear members that we meekly bow in submission to Him that doeth all things well.
 And furthermore in the losing of our friend the Floy s. s. has lost a faithful member, the com munity a useful friend, the hus- band and parents a loving wife and daughter. @

THE MASTERS CALL

The Master sent His messenger of Death among US and called home His servant Media Mae White Stuart. Her death seemed so untimely as she was a bride of only a few months, and had an infant son, just few days old.
 She was one of those loving, lovable characters, loved alike by young and old, and her death is felt by each and everyone who knew her. Sadly we bow our heads in submission to the will of our Lord.
 The young husband, left with his infant son, 10 face the sad and lonely days which might have been so different, has the sympa- thy of his many friends as also have the grief stricken parents. who are experiencing their first heartache through the loss of a child.
 Friends gathered from far and near, and did all in their power for their little friend in her time  of need, and comforted the loved ones who watched so tenderly by the bedside of their loved one. But their love and care could not keep her and she passed away on the sixth of Feb 1922.
 The funeral was keld on the eighth of Feb. Mr. La Rue held services at the home of Mir. Chas. D, Staurt, where Mrs. Stuart died. Mrs. Minnie Pair and Mrs. Hattie Goldsmith, with hearts full of love and voices tender with gflef, sang two songs at the house and one at the grave.
 Many friends came to pay their last loving respects to the de- parted one and to console those left behind.
 She is survived by father and mother, MT. and Mrs. c. C.. White, four brothers, Henry, Robert, Earl and Elmer and a very devoted sister. Mrs. Ida Bell Penrod, her young husband. John Stuart and infant son, Lorey John.

The fourteen cOnSOrCS or JJduOy Campbell were quite enthused when he broke through the clouds of precedence and called their leg islative boys and girls to meet in the capital and take a post gradu- ate course in manipulating the finances of his empire, and pass bills so that each mother will know her children's supply of mental food in the state educational plant will not be prematurely Topped off. That her unfortunates in the penal institutions will be proper ly housed. That a revision of the inheritance tax law will create of it a producer of revenue instead of a :"mere makeshift;;" That her children for at least five years will be insured the privilege of gliding comfortably in their lux urious cars over paved roads. That irrigation, drainage, new banking code, etc.. will all receive proper legislation. That a ma- | jority of her voters chould cast affirmative ballots for any consti- tutional amendment to insure its legal adoption.
 Each of daddy's helpmeets asks that useless appropriations, wan ton waste, high salaries. etc., be put in cold storage until the sup ply equals the demand; that the tangled webs of taxation be swept out so she can refill her empty larder; that the baby state may be made to equal if not ex- elFany of Uncle Sam's daughters in education. industry, wealth, etc.
 In pursuance of the call, on the i14th of Feb, the lobby of the hotel Adams echoed with the gre garious atmosphere of the boys and girls who were as jubilant as a group of high school youngsters waiting for the first knock out. 1

 On the 18th an organization of both houses was effected, and to cut down expenses all but thirty nine attaches were rejected, and the Feed Blll' for S5lSSO.OO ln- troduced. That caused a block ade.
