WOOL PURCHASES INCREASE

report from Boston states that "buying has broken out strongly in the west again with the purchase reported of the Gericho pool of some 80O,000 pounds of fine and fine medium Utah wool of fair staple, which it is said was purchas- ed by large Boston house for 4Oc on the spot" And were it not for the emergency tariff duty on wool the chances are the order might have gone to Australia. During the eight months ended February 28, 1922, we imported 23,571,- 900 pounds of clothing wool, compared with 107 ,3S8000 pounds for the months period end ed February 28, 1921. During the 1922 period wool was dutiable under the emergency law In- creased buying of western wool helps along the prosperity of that section and that is reflected in increased purchasing power all along the line.
The Coconino sun., 1922-05-12
NOT PLAYING SQUARE WITH ALL
 AMERICANS

Union labor in San Francisco has brought the open and closed shop question to issue by refus- ing to work with non-union men.
 In other words, union men in the building trades have struck where non-union men are employed. No question of wages or hours is in- volved.
 The question is clean cut Must an American citizen join union before he is permitted to earn living? Under such a policy he could be forced to join specified church or lodge be- fore being allowed to work.
 This is contrary to every idea of freedom as guaranteed by our form of government
 If man wishes to join a union he has the right to do so and such action should not bar him from employment. The strike to enforce the closed shop idea can only be losing battle as it's success would mean abrogation of the fundamental rights guaranteed the individual citizens under the constitution of the United States.
 The public has been favorable to labor unions so far as their efforts have been along legiti- mate lines to better the living, wage and work ing conditions, but the public will not favor an extension of labor union activities which denies to all workmen except union members the right to make living.
The Coconino sun., 1922-05-12
POSITIVE ACTION NEEDED

There is no party or factional fight in the coming city election. The whole question of electing the new city council is based on what the individual is for and what he promises to accomplish if elected. Flagstaff is progressive city and needs progressive men to lead the way Positive action is needed in the affairs of men, It is not always the most popular thing at the time, but only that kind of men ever have rec ord worth pointing at in after years.
 Flagstaffs greatest definite trouble is lack of positive action. We have the basis of won- derfully prosperous city, and we have not been developing as rapidly as we should because of a lack of initiative. When a city council is elected by majority, they are endorsed by the people who believe they will take action and produce results. Some men have to be dragged into action after the "last dog is hung;" some have to be abused and kicked into action, and some few take action.
 Flagstaff needs men of some vision for the future. Men who are able to see beyond the inn mediate cost of improvements and who will build on big foundation.
 The time has gone when the knocker can stand around awaiting the profits from the personal industry of the few progressives.
 There was fight over the original water works system back in 1898. It was denounced bitterly as "confiscatory to property" Paving never was popular with some few. It was bit terly denounced as "confiscatory to property"
 The Sun has been chided, to put it mildly, many times for advocating improvements which would entail expense. If The Sun had received one cent per word for boosting Flagstaff and the business interests of Flagstaff we'd own four story building and daily newspaper. However, The Sun has always been willing to feed the COW it milked. Some just want the milk
 Then comes the sage of old and says: "Why, could have bought that lot for $75 and now they want 5000 for it. Just think of it!' And there you are The "old sage" never "bames' it on improved condition. Now he gets water out of faucet for $A50 per month, when he used to have the exalted privilege of paying from 25 cents to $100 per barrel for water delivered to him in an old water wagon. And, he never seriously dis cussed the purity of the water delivered in the old rain barrel, covered with potential mosqui- toes. No, nor did he ever complain about "good old tank water" from an adjacent mud hole water was "wettenen" and water.
 There are a lot of people who will never con- descend to admit that improvements pay and pay big on the investment.
 In voting for city officials, select the men who will deliver the goods and take what criticisms that are offered.
