The article deals with Carl
Magee, the Albuquerque ed

how Magee has been waging
a fight agaigst the political
bosses since settling in New

how he was forced out of the

started Magee's Independent,
and later, through popular

Copper Collar Stuart of
the Prescott Courier quotes
Fred Breen of Coconino Sun
as follows:
"The big mining compan-
les are just as thoroughly
'bolsheviki' and socially in
clined and all that ilk ever
dared be. They are drunk
with money power and don't
seem to haye sense enough
to know they can only go SO
far before the deluge."
After peddlinq a lot of
tommyrot about killing the
goose that lays the golden
eggs. Stuart finishes with:
The people want the min
ing companies to pay a just
proportion Of the taxes, and,
basing the present rate on
the the cost OF turning out
copper bullion, it cannot be
denied that they are doing
their share in contributing
to the expense of the state.
In some parts of Arizona
rumors of cuts in production
of copper already are heard,
and, a drop of two cents more
a pound in price certainly
would close up most of the
mines IN the southwest.
More bunk. Every voter
IN the state knows that the
producers of copper them
selves fix the price of copper
same as the lumber and other
industries of the state pool
their prices, to soak the con-
sumers. Their recent appeal
to u. S. Courts to avoid Just
taxes shows what share they
pay.
The Coconiuo "Colonel"
and Stuart are apparently
making a show of opposition
to fool Arizona voters. What
camoufage? Every son of
toll in the state, be he miner,
mucker, or mechanic, will be
onto the combination of these
two polygraphs, fixing the

BAD AUTO ACCIDENT MONDAY

Mrs. Levi, who teaches the Wallace
school about six miles northeast Of
Wittcn, was driving her new Ford
roadster to the track meet at Carter
Monday morning, and had two of her
pupils with her, Ernest Gleason and
Adolph Mazecka. When on the Mem
orial Highway about two miles east of
the county line, they attempted to
pass car that was ahead of them, but
in attempting to 90 around the car
ahead they ran off a culvert with the
result that the Ford roadster was
turned over, and young Gleason, about
Is years OF age, was pretty badly
hurt. The last report we had Monday
evening was that he had not regained
consciousness. The other lad accompa.
nying Mrs. Levi also received some
scratches about the fact but was not
seriously hurt. Mrs. Levi escaped
without injury. The top was torn
from the car and the windshield was
smashed. Mr.. Worcester of Witten

the record of these that have already

INTEREST IN TOUR GROWING

Interest the big alfalfa tour that
is scheduled for Mellette county on
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 19 and
20, is growing, and those who fail to
take IN this big event are going to
miss something really worth while.
County Agent Rudolph was in town
Wednesday and he informed us that
the White River Commercial Club is
taking great interest In the forthcom-
ing tour, and is arranging to entertain
the tourists In great style at an eve-
ming meeting and feed on the evening
OF the goth, when the tour ends. Many
speakers of prominence are going to
be here on that occasion, and some
really worth while talks on number
of vital subjects may be looked for.
The White River Band will accompa-
ny the tourists. Agent Rudolph in
formed us that Chris Anders, the Mel
lctte county Ford man, is arranging
to have trouble can accompany the
tourists SO that if anything goes wrong
with any of the cars, the trouble man
will be there johnny-on-the-spot, to
keep the procession moving right
along. We are unable to print the
complete list of registrations up to
date as number have registered with
the county agent, and we failed to
get the new registrations he has re-
ceived.
Some have asked us what the ex-
pense of the tour will be. This is hard
to say, but it will be comparatively
small. Each person who drives a car
is supposed to bear his own expense,
and if those riding in his car care to,
they may reduce the expense OF the
car owner by contributing to the cost
OF the gas and oil used--then there
will be meals to buy, unless arrange
ments can be completed for free enter
tainment or a basket dinner can be ar
ranged for the noon meal, so the cost
Is not going to be anything. to keep
anyone from making the tour, and the
benefits to be derived from this tour
for the individual and the county at
large will be worthy 81 the best ef-
forts OF our citizens.
| We would like to see every car in
the tour carry some sort OF a banner
telling about Mellette County Alfalfa,
Mellette County Hogs, Dairying and
other agricultrala statistics in this
county. This tour is in fact big ad
vertising stunt, to attract the atten-
tion Of this and nearby states to the
possibilities and the opportunities Of

line boost alfalfa, dairyng and hogs
among the people now living here. \,
