LET THE PEOPLE THINK

As the people complain about growing tax burdens they are slowly coming to realization of the fact that the load they are carrying IS largely result of their own acts.
 That is, they have been willing to adopt with out counting the cost in advance, every new tangled idea proposed relative to city, county or state government or our system of public educa- tiOn.
 The public has a right to demand that candi- dates for public office be qualified for the posi- tions they are to fill and they have right to de- mand business administration of public affairs.
 It is unfair however, to elect a man to office on an economy and business platform and in the same election vote for the passage of various measures which add millions to the tax burden of the state. If the people do this they have but themselves to blame when the tax collector comes around.
 As the family keeps within its income, pros pers and produces good citizens as result of the examples set by the father and mother in the daily life of the family so will the state grow and develop and keep it's tax requirements req sonable in proportion to the thought and intel ligence manifested by the members of this great collective family, namely, it's citizens.
 Public officials are merely the hired employees of the people. The average employe will furnish good or bad service according to the example set him by his employers.
 Go to the polls and vote as carefully on pub lie affairs as you would on matters affecting your own family life. Do not vote to expend public funds and then kick at paying the tax bill. Such a course is as foolish as to contract family bills and complain at the collector for insisting on payment.
 Here is the first step the people must take in any program of business management in pub lie expenditures.-Mesa Tribune.

FIRE INSURANCE PROPAGANDA

Editor VanDusen of the Pilot at Blair, Ne braska, who has been giving liberal space to fire protection publicity, believes there should be some recprocation in lower rates. He says:
 ''We are constantly getting bulletins from the state fire chief, insurance companies, etc, urg- ing that we tell the people how to avoid fires by care and by keeping such information constantly before the people, If such a campaign would help reduce our insurance rates we would feel more interested in giving our valued space for this propaganda, but when we simply help make more money for the insurance companies and they don't even spend any of it with us for help ing them make it we can't see where we owe either the insurance companies or the public a whole lot"

The Southern Pacific press agents are prob ably the hardest worked and the most indus trious bunch ever gotten together by railroad. The company is spending thousands for press agency stuff, including mail order department with the purpose of securing free advertising for the poverty stricken railroad, which desires to reduce assets of the opulent newspapers. It has been deduced by this million-dollar press agency propagandist, that hull five cents has been chopped off the price of ham and eggs on their dining cars through the mighty efforts of their chief food assayer. Ham and used to cost 65 cents, now it can be had for 60 cents. Ain't that grand! And miles of dope has lately been sent out advising the astonished and overwhelm- ed public that paper drinking cups will be put in coaches so the traveller across the desert may drink now and then without cost. Millions are again saved to the public by this generosity
 Railroad fares are just the same but this is necessary in order to provide for more press agents to do their utmost to secure free space in the opuent country newspapers. The city pa pers receive paidssdvertisng

THE DAY OF STRIKES PASSING

The railroad shopmen's strike has been de- clared an outlaw strike" by the U. s. Labor Commission. While not attempting to discuss the merits of the strike, the time has about ar rived when every strike of either labor or cap ital should be outlawed under severe penalties. All kinds of strikes must be adjusted sooner or later, so why not before they come off? Strikes, either labor or capital, are nothing but incipient revolutions against the people and the laws of the nation. They are in the same class with a gun fight in which the innocent bystander us- ually is the one most hurt If our laws are good, there should be no strikes; if the laws are bad, we, the people, should step in and correct them in the best interests of all.

Through the efforts of the Phoenix Junior Chamber of Commerce, enough signatures were secured in Maricopa county to put the $2,500,000 state bond issue, for a paved road from Phoenix to California, on the ballot, to be voted by the people this fall. It would have been just as req sonabe for Maricopa county to have petitioned the voters of the state to pay the road bonds of Maricopa county. The road is Maricopa coun- ty road that also goes through part of Yuma county. It may be that Maricopa county voters can foist this bond issue onto the state, but it is doubtful.

One rather pertinent thing about the propos- ed Boulder Canyon dam is that it is located in Nevada-not in Arizona at all. So if the dam can be built in Nevada, the water and power used in California, Arizona should be content, ac- cording to the California profiteers, with fur nishing the water and keeping the silt.

ACID STOMACH

Sufferers From Indigestion or
Stomach Trouble
CUT THIS OUT

Stomach trouble, dyspepsia, indises-
ten, sourness, gas, heartburn, food fer
msntation. etc. are caused nine times in
ten by chronic acid stomach" says q
Neii-known authority.
Burning hydrochloric acid develops in
the stomach at an alarming rate. The
toid irritates and inflames the delicate
stomach lining and often leads to gas
trttis accompanied by dangerous stom-
aoh ulcers. Don't dose an acid stomach
with pepsin or artificial digestants that
only give temporary relief from pain by
irving the sour, fermenting food out Of
the stomach into the iuJestines.
Instead. neutralize OF sweeten your
ecid stomach after meals with little
hot water and Bisurated Magnesia and
not only will the pain vanish but your
meals will digest naturally There IL
nothing better than Bisurated Magnesia
10 sweeten and settle an acid stomach.
II soaks up the harmful excess acid much

lie obtained from any reliable druggist in
either powder or tablet form. 1t Is safe,

Censorship" he said, had not ac'
complished its end. 1t was unable to
keep off the screen Clara Hamon or
Fred Beauvais, the Indian guide who
figured in a sensational divorce suit.
The people who make the pictures
themselves are now doing the things
that censorship has failed to do. They
have decreed that nobody shall here
after be exploited in the films be-
cause Of some terrible misdeed.
Senator Walker said that while the
State was cutting down appropria-
tons for State hospitals, IL was set
ting aside money for this commission,
which, he declared, had proved abso-
lutely useless. He emphasized that
his opposition was to the law and not
