NO TAX REDUCTION
For Nations Prohteers,
Says u. S.. Senate

Washington.-No income tax re-
duction for the millionaire and the
profiteer, was Senator Simmons chal-
lenge in discussing proposed income
tax reductions.
The lawmaker said he used the
term millionaire" not in an oppro-
brious sense, but for the purpose Of
Characterization. This is Senator
Simmons reason for favoring no tax
reduction for these classes:
$50 long as profteering is going on
in this country, as it is now going on
continually, so long as the people who
are demanding this reduction are
making enormous fortunes out Of the
consumers of this country, fortunes
year by year that are incredible, with
their enormous dividends, all as re-
suit of profiteering upon the people,
keeping the prices of products up to
the war standard, mercilessly preying
upon the poor people of the country,
upon the farmer-preying upon this
great class whose earning capacity
has been dissipated; preying upon the
laborer, upon the clerk, upon the man
trying to live upon his salary and un-
able to increase his income; preying
upon them by the imposition of prices
that in some instances are many times
in excess of the cost of production,
that are unjustified and unwarranted,
than they were in war time-so long
as that is going on in this country,
Mr. President, | am utterly opposed
to exempting those receiving the
higher incomes from a heavy burden
in connection with the payment of the
expenses of the government"

The Arizona Labor Journal declares
that respect for courts can not be
maintained by such acts.
Respect for the courts of our land
must be holy sentiment embodied in
the hearts and minds of our people,
founded on the knowledge that they
are instruments Of exact justice" con-
tinues this labor paper. when a
Judge leaves the realm of law and ex-
ercises the power of injunction in an
attempt to supervise the government
of one of the units of the state, he is
on dangerous ground. Instead of pro-
noting respect for the judiciary, he
promotes the opposite sentiment.
'"The people of this country are
growing weary of the attempt Of
judges to set themselves up as super
ior beings when we know that they
have feet Of clay"

GUN RUNNERS
For Mexican Rebels Oppos.
ed By Governor

Phoenix, Ariz.-In proclama-
tion issued by Governor Hunt. that
official recommends to business
men OF this state that they decline to
accept orders for munitions of war to
aid those who are fomenting civil
strife in Mexico.
The governor declares that "there
is reason to believe that arms, ammu-
milton and munitions Of war are being
purchased in Arizona for use in Mex
ico"
While our people have the legal
and moral right to carry on COM
merce with whoever solicits it." said
the governor, "yet, under the exising
circumstances, l believe that the peo-
pie OF Arizona can best serve the peo-
pie Of Mexico, the people of the world
and the inerests of our own sate>by
refusing to traffic in munitions of
war"
The chief executive calls upon all
peace officers "to vigorously enforce
all existing laws with respec to the
possession of arms and munitions. I"
These officers are also called upon to
Immediately arrest and detain for in
vesigation any alien who has entered
the safe in defiance of federal immi-
grafton laws.
During the past few years, under
the administration Of President Obre-
gon," the proclamation states, mex
leo has been on peaceful basis, her
government has been recognized by
the nations of the world, her business
has revived, the country has begun
to prosper and her citizens are enjoy
ing the fruits Of peace, when candi-
date for the presidency Of Mexico has
again undertaken to resort to civil
warfare in an effort to overthrow the
present government.
"The people of Arizona, while main
tanning strict neutrality in the af-
Fairs Of the Mexican government, yet
sympathize with the efforts Of the
government to maintain peace in or
der that her people may live in safe
ty."

Philadelphia both fatal
and non-fatal, are increasing at an
alarming rate in Pennsylvania indus

"There were 512 fatal accidents in
industry in this state in 1922" DR..
Meeker said. "There were 59,234 fatal
and non-fatal accidents last year. In

SELF GOVERNMENT
Enforced By Arizona Judge

Miami, Ariz.-The superior court
OF this county has fined the Daily
Silver Belt $500 and the editor $500
for daring to comment on the courts
use OF an injunction last spring. At
that time the court attempted, by in
junction process, to compel the regu-
larly elected city officials of the town
of Miami to strike from the demo-
cratic ticket the names of certain
democratic candidates who had been
regularly elected in the primary. The
Daily Silver Belt made a vigorous
attack on this substitution of govern
ment by an individual for govern
ment by law.
