THIS SOUNDS GOOD

Deposits in the savings banks OF
this country show big increase this
year over the same period in 1922,
the aggregate savings of the entire
nation amounting to over $17,000,O ,OOO,-
900. A lot of the credit for this must
be given the schools of this country in
which teachers see the value of in
stalling the lessons of thrift into their
pupils. Some credit must also be
given the newspapers, for they have
preached increasingly the value of
putting away little bit of every dol
lar you make or earn. Bankers, too,
deserve credit for advertising the
safety of their institutions. The saw
ing money is matter of habit, a
habit that grows easier with the
years. AS long as we are warming
up to the saving habit and laying
aside, in a safe place, every dollar we
can possibly spare there isn't much
need to fear for the outcome of the
nation.

CONFERENCE ON STREET CAR
SITUATION

A we'll attended meeting Of the
Citizens Civic Committee was held at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
Tuesday evening to consider the situ-
alton confronting the street car prob
lem and devise means for it's relief.
Mr.. J. S. Blocker, of Springfield,
general manager of the c. N. & q.
Electric Railway, briefly outlined the
outlook, stating the company was
now and for the past year or more
had been running at a heavy loss,
and that unless something was done,
and done quickly, the company would
be compelled to cease operation in
Newark.
The situation was thoroughly dis
cussed and the opinion prevailed that
action was necessary, and that means
should be taken to aid the electric
company by preventing unfair COM
petition, such as is now being re-
sorted to by bus lines which operate
on streets upon which car lines are
laid and run their vehicles ahead of
the street cars to gather up waiting
patrons.

THANKS. BRO. CALDWELL

James Caldwell, chairman Of the
Pennsylvania Shopcrafts Federation,
of Columbus, in letter notifying the
Leader of a change in his address,
says among other things:
81 want you to know that | hold
your paper in very high esteem, not
only as an advocate of labor, but as
champion of the many progressive
principles, that concern the future
welfare of all our neighbors. Ny
wishes are, that the Newark Leader"
will continue to prosper in keeping
with its good work.
"You may be interested to hear
that we are still battling for justice
on the Pennsylvania System. We
have at this point, over 100 men still
standing firm for the principles for
which they walked out on July 1st,
year ago. Forces in the shops are
so per cent greater in numbers than
at the time we come out, but the re-
suit IN production to the Company as
indicated by the condition of Their
equipment, does not exceed 25 per
cent of normal. With winter only a
few months off, and their equipment
in such deplorable condition, when
it should be at its best to withstand
the frigid elements, why should they
not change their policy? Or, why
should not the powers that be, change
it for them? The l. G. C. knows all
about these conditions, but does not
act and are apparently afraid to pub
lish the facts. 1t is to be hoped that
the next Congress will have a suff-
cient number of progressives, men
who will stand true to their convic-
tions, to wrest this Government from
the strangle-hold which organized
wealth has upon it. In the meantime,
our slogan is, "No Surrender"

Saws Farm Exodus
Is Menace to Labor
(By Federated Press)

Washington-The menace facing
the U. S. is not bolshevism, but the
American agriculture and migration
from the farms to the cities, accord
ing to Basil M. Manly, director Peo-
ple's Legislative service.
Department of Agriculture figures
show that two million persons moved
from farms to cities during the year
1922.
"This is greater than the total pop
ulations of the six states-Arizona,
New Mexico, Montana, Nevada, Utah
and Wyoming, and twice as great as
the flood of immigration which used
to pour into the U. S. annually from
Europe before the bars were put up,"
says Manly. j..
Commenting on the Department of
Agriculture figures that the farmer
exodus was in part offset by move
ment Of $50, 900 from the cities to the
farms, Manly says: "This is in part
an illusion. Only a small proportion
of those who go from the cities to the
country remain there permanently,
while the rural population once en-
quilted in the city's maelstrom seldom
returns to the farm.
"The farmers are going to the cities
because they have been bankrupted
and rendered destitute by the defia-
ton of agriculture, and because they
imagine they can improve their lot
in the industrial centers. For the
past five years they have been fed
on false propaganda about the huge
wages paid to railroad and industrial
workers. They have not been told
these high wages, so far as they are
true, apply only to handful of ex-
ceptionally skilled or unusually stu
ated workmen, and that the vast ma
iority have not earned enough in the
past two years to pay for the sub
sistence of their families on even the
, miserable standards to which they
are accustomed.
"Although the farmers nave peen
thus grossly deceived regarding city
conditions, this is not the Fundamental
cause of their migration. They had
to move. Millions were utterly ruined
bv the crash of the agricultural prices
in 1920 and 1921. In county after
county, in the northwest and d>south
particularly, more than half of the
farms were sold for taxes.
"The farmer and the city worker
have one common enemy. That enemy
is the monopolistic group which owns,
controls and operates this monstrous
system of distribution. This system
must be destroyed and new system
of cooperative distribution for service
and not for profit, must be builded in
it's place"

THE MERCHANTS OUTLOOK

A business expert who writes re-
gularly for the New York Times de-
clares that there is not much founda-
tion for the fear often expressed that
the public in general will curtail its
buying because of some slight rise
in prices. Retailers, in particular,
seem to have given voice to this ap-
prehension.
Crises in prices" says the Times
expert, care not apt to be very strik-
ing or particularly noticeable, and
such increases in some lines may be
offset by decreases in others. Re-
tail merchandising, therefore, for the
Fall season is regarded as having a
disposed to wait until some line is
had on consumer buyers for that sea
son before putting in the bulk of their
orders for Spring. By Labor Day the
outlook will be much clearer. After
that there will be more activity on
the part of both wholesalers and re-
tailers, and each class will be in a
better position to operate with judg-
ment."
The New York Trust Company
analyzing wage statistics predicts
that the comparatively high wages
paid in the building trades will have
a tendency to increase wages general.
ly. Labor is today the most important
section of the purchasing public, anc
the wide-awake merchant will note
this fact.
The prediction that by Labor Day
the situation will be much improved
from the viewpoint of the merchant
suggests the desirability of lining uI
the labor trade for the Fall. In New
ark and vicinity there is no more
effective means for bringing abou
this result than by using the columns
of the Newark Leader.

DO ANTHRACITE OPERATORS
WANT A STRIKE?

Are the anthracite mine owners
hoping for a strike?
If not, what was the significance OF
the statement credited to them that
"if a strike is averted the anthracite
market will be exceedingly dull be-
teween September 1 and the begin
ming of December"
Authorities on coal production who
have been following the conference of
miners and operators at Atlantic City
are wondering what is the answer to
these two questions.
They point out that ordinarily there
is a brisk demand for coal in Sep
tember, October and November, as
dealers and consumers are laying IN
their winter stocks. In view of this,
it is said that the operators are max
ing a strange prediction when they
say the autumn will see a period OF
dullness in the anthracite trade.
On the other hand, it is pointed out
that the campaign for early buying
Of coal is having its effect and this
would tend to result in a lessened de-
mand during the fall. This may have
been what the operators had in mind
when they made their prediction. But
the suspicion still remains that they
wouldn't be sorry to see a strike, as
it would mean a tremendous demand
for coal when the shutdown was over
and both during and after the strike
would offer an excuse for further in
creases in coal prices.
However, the question still remains
unanswered, care the operators hop
ing for a strike ?" Was their wish
father to their prediction?

Dor board has been forced by repeat

ABOUT AUTO ACCIDENTS

About the first thing a man will
say after he has had an automobile
accident is, that he couldn't help it;
that it was unavoidable. There is al
ways an excuse, and there was never
a man who lacked an excuse. The
brakes failed, or the steering gear
went bad, or a tire blew out or the
lights were bad or the gates were
down or up; anything at all will do
for an excuse Pedestrians who get
hit usually take the brunt Of the
blame as we'll as the impact, but sell
dom does the driver admit he was
careless.
Yet common sense will reveal that
excuses are seldom, if ever justified.
Brakes, lights, horns and steering
gear can be, and should be examined.
Fast driving is always dangerous,
and pedestrians have some rights.
Tires can be fixed so they won't burst,
and every other ailment has some
remedy. Even the driver who kills a
chicken cannot be entirely innocent.
Yet some drivers feel quite snug over
running over a cat or dog or fowl,
muttering something about it's place
being out of the road. Which attitude,
of course, is selfish and silly.
Where one auto accident is un-
avoidable, a thousand could and
should have been guarded against
If only the careless drivers were to
be considered, it were best to let them
alone to kill themselves off. But there
are too many innocent drivers and
pedestrians for carelessness. A road
hog takes his own time about dying
and they say the good die young
! Safety first is a good slogan.

Harry Wise, Mesa Man, Dies
OF Heart Failure.

Harry Wise. who with his
brother and some friends from
Mesa was out on a camping trip
to this part of the state, pitched
their camp on the terraced hills
near Wickenburg last Friday.
He was not in good health and
had been suffering from a rheu-
matte affection of the heart, but
had been receiving treatment
there for only a few months.
Monday morning. after eating a
hearty breakfast. he took a ram
BILE over the adjacent hills. AS
he did not return for dinner, his
brother went to look for him and
found his dead body a few hun
dred yards away from camp.
Death had come unannounced
and took him unawares when in
a pleasant and perhaps happy
mood and toppIed him over, roll
ing HIM down into side-hill
gully. Such death is painless,
but it is also an object lesson to
all humanity that we are not long
for this existence; what we ac-
quire we cannot take with us;
and that we had better be always
prepared to meet the avenging
angel for our misdeeds on earth.
What the future has for us none
of us know; but we do know that
we must say goodbye to all and
everything when we are called.
Deceased's aspirations, hopes,
and ambitions were doubtless
same as every humans who
looks forward to a bright future.
How vain all efforts to attain
things of earth really are?

A Just Request.

Compelling stricken ones to fall,
Such ruling far is wrong;
Heed ye who toll this worthy call,
Condemn the action strong.
Unite for progress as mass,
And by this motto stand:
That soon the rising working class
Shall in affairs take hand.
Then will sick people have what's right
And at home shall stay;
Not such as those who must take flight
Present the poor today.
But in a place of comfort there
Whoever may arrive,
The way will then be bright and fair
A chance to yet survive.

Judge, Jury, and Jailor.

Two men were lodged in the
Wickenburg Jail recently by the
local constable, who is also the
city marshal and jailor. No man
can legally be held in Jail more
than "a hours without warrant
or complaint charging the offense.
But such little matters don't
count in Wickenburg. The two
Mexicans were held in the town
bastile for several days; then
they got tired and walked away
for the Jail wouldn't hold a
baby chick after it developed pin
feathers. The cuIprits must have
had some money, for they ling

and were finally taken to Phoe-
nix for trial and safe keeping
charged with burglary. T h e
burglary charge was dismissed
and then the culprits were
charged with Jail breaking. AS
they were illegally held more
than "a hours without a warrant,
Judge Mckee of Phoenix dis
missed the case. But what a
bill the county must have paid
for transportation, mileage, at
torneys. and court expenses

Every American Land Specula-

litical and financial interest under
their influence is for the Pact.
Every interest seeking to get
power to develop industries else

thereby deprive this State of her
natural advantages is for the
pact. Don't be another Old Dog

think of a judge who, after hear

arguments of the lawyers on one
side of a case, decided the case
in their favor? The evidence in
this case is not yet to be had, as
the Governor pointed out in his
message. Davis, Fall, Hoover
and others of that ilk are going
fine for Mexico and Arizona's
enemies, but the friends of Ari-
