3 solini has reversed the policy purI
sued by his predecessor, who leaned
toward the British side in the reparal
tions conferences. Presumably Itali
would make no protest in the event
Of Independent action by France|
This seems to be the position of thd
British government, which has gond
no further than expressing the opinl
ion that the French plan, II attempt
ed, would not be successful. On thd
face of the situation, thereforel
France and Belgium are free 10 ed
forward with the French plan, bud
on their own responsibility, and
without receiving the cooperation of
the allies in the makeup Of the COM
mission that would impose taxes and
collect revenues in the Rhineland
and the Ruhr valley.
The attitude OF the United States
government was defined some days
ago by Secretary Hughes, who stated
that II the Paris conference should
fail to find a solution OF the repara-
tons question the United States
would suggest that the governments
concerned to appoint a commission
OF expert flnanciers and economists
to make an Independent examination
OF Germany's condition. This com
mission, II appointed, would ascer-
tain how much Germany could pay
the allies, and under what conditions.
The governments would be free 70
accept or reject the finding Of the
commission, as they pleased. The
object Of the commission would be 30
furnish a set OF facts upon which
governments and people could form
an intelligent opinion with a view
to common action in the direction Of
peace. full resumption Of CONNER
cial relations, and payments of all
war debts.
Apparently Il is the intention Of
France to proceed with the French
plan, or modification Of II. with
Belgian cooperation. But the situ-
alton is subject to changes, and a few
days may witness startling and nm
expected developments.

this State were 10000 tons short Of
the normal consumption.
The falling off Of mining IN
Christmas week IS no surprise 10
persons familiar with the ways Of
coal miners. The general nishand-
ling Of the coal industry is respon-
sible for the holiday ways Of the
miners. They have so many enforc-
ed holidays, thanks to the irresu-
larity OF demand in their business
that they take holidays whenever
there is an excuse. It Is a habit
with them.
The philosophy of the miner is
easy to understand. WHY shouldn't
he knock off work for two or three
days at Christmas when he knows
that 1t means to him only that he
VIII have two or three more davs OF
work in the dull season next spring?
It is quite human for the worried
consumer to say that in times like :
these the miner should take no
holidays; that he should work piRht
and day until the shortage is made
up. But 1t is equally human for the :
miner to remember that he has been
idle many a spring because the oon-
sumer refused to buy coal before.

Tho consumer is having an obiec.
lesson in the ups and downs OF the
coal industry. He must realize from
the emptiness OF his bin and the
discouraging tones Of his dealer.
that the coal industry has broken,
down under the blow of last sum-
mer's strike. He must realize that
unless something is done to reform,

The message was from Bills sis

Bill, with his sister, purchased two

years ago. Perhaps, some day, they
would build homes there.
Then came the oil boom. Derricks
appeared everywhere. Their two lots
almost were hidden from view by the
towering frameworks.
Oil promoters sought out Bill and
his sister. They wanted to buy the
lots. A cash offer Of $25,000 for the
property was made. But Bill was a

mand," struck snag when it came
up for consideration in the committee
of the whole of the senate. The best
the bill could do was to retain it's
place on the calendar without pre-
judice for future consideration.
Rutherford of Yavapai defended the
bill, but claimed it was not drastic
enough He cited the case of a pre-
sent member of the senate who, after
his election, was notified by the rail
road management that he must resign
his position in the senate or lose his
job The situation brought forth
protest from Gov Hunt to the railway
management which resulted in the or
der being rescinded.
Senators Roberts, Coulter, and
Moore, the latter the author of the
bill, joined in the fight to have it
favorably reported.
Senator Cornick offered an amend
ment providing that nothing in this
act shall interfere with the right of
any employer to dispense with the
services of any employee who shall
be elected to public office" This Of
fer brought Roberts to his feet with
the claim that the amendment would
completely nullify the bill, and the
amendement was not carried. Moore
in his plea for the paAsage of the bill
argued that unless the measure re-
ceived favorable action at the hands
of the senate, representative govern
'ment in Arizona would be seriously
imperiled.
Sen. Golfer suggested, an amend
ment making the bill even more dras
tic to include in it's penalties bankers
or others loaning money as an indu
cement to persons to not become can
didates for public office.
Sen. Drachman of Pima cited the
case of two railroad men of Tucson
who became rival candidates on the
Republican and Democratic tickets,
respectively for members of the board
of supervisors. Both were ordered
by the railroad company to withdraw
their candidates., but later the order
was resinded.
