OF STATE
COMMISSION IN
GOVERNOR RACE
Corporation Body Chairman
First to Announce Candi-
dacy in Campaign

Amos A. Belts, chairman of the
state corporation commission, stated
on Tuesday positively that he would
be a candidate for the Democratic
for the governorship this
year. This is the first announce
ment of candidacy for state office
for 1924.
In his campaign Mr.. Belts will
stress his record in working cease
lessly for a reduction in freight rates
in the state, his handling of the
rates of the various public utilities
of the state, and his adherence to
lines of economy. 81 am a straight
line Democrat" Mr.. Belts said, ''be-
longing to no factino and having no
selected group to satisfy. | believe
in party responsibility in governments
and this we cannot have unless those
chosen for office by party are loyal
to its principles and faithful to its
interests. | am in the race for the
govemorship to stay, and | believe
I will win"
Mr. Belts will remain as member
of the corporation commission, as
Thomas E. Campbell in 1916 stayed
on the state tax commission while
a candidate for the govenorship.
With the possible exception of Re-
preventative Carl Hayden, Mr. Belts
has a wider acquaintance in Arizona
and more close personal friends than
any other person in political life.
He has been resident of the state
many years, his earliest work here
being as an employe of the Santa
Fe railroad. In the 1922 election he
carried every county in the state and
with the exception of the two con-
gressional candidates, he led the De-
ticket, receiving majority
of 1912 as against the majority of
$3.50 given G. o. Case, nominee for
of public instruction,
who was at the small end of the
ticket. The majority given governor
Hunt as Gill. Maricopa county gave
Belts majority of 4136.
While no formal announcements
have been made, it is generally un-
derstood that Senator w. D. Claypool
of Gila county and Senator C. E.
McMillin of Pinal will be corporation
commission candidates against Com
missioner Dave johnson.

American Legion Receives
Approval of Cash Rattle

AS result of hearty approval
on the part of ticket holders the
Frank Perkins post of the American
Legion will hold dance on Febru-
airy 8, at which time the money
ticket rattle will take place.
The Legion expects to bring a
motion picture to Winslow in the
very near future, entitled powder
River. This film is of interest to
every one in Arizona as it represents
the war activities of the soldiers
from Arizona, California and Ne
vada. In other words it is the history
of the ninety-first division. Powder
River is somewhat different from
the pictures which the Legion has
shown in the past.
All Legionnaires are requested to
be present at the next meeting,
Monday, January %. A report from
the department headquarters concern
ing the itinerary of the department
commander will be read, and the post

at this time.

annual SENIOR PLAY Will
Be GIVEN FEBRUARY EIGHTH

''The House Next Door,, the an
nual high school senior play, which
was to have been given in December
but was postponed, will be produced
at the Washington school auditorium
on the evening of February 8.
J. Hartley Manners, who wrote
the now famous "Peg of My Heart,
is the author of "The House Next
Door,, a sparkling comedy bubbling
over with rollicking fun, humor and
merriment. The piece is said to
make even a stole forget himself.
The scene of the play is laid in
and the plot centers around
struggle between two families, one
a newly rich Jewish family and the
other of noble birth whose fortune
have become depleted. A serious as
well as a most laughable problem
presents itself when the sons and
daughters of the two belligerent
families fall in love with each other:
Miss Edith Claire Sharp, head of
the English department at the High
school, is directing ''The House Next
Door,"

or long range, scoring much more

Grosley, Graf and Castillo were
the outstanding players of the Gallup

center and side center was exception
ally good despite the fact that it was
overshadowed by the generalship
and skill of the local combination.
The boys game, the second, started
out with both teams clearly feeling
their way. Williams made the first
score, a free throw, out of two
chances on a Winslow foul. The
mountineers made another free throw
on four chances, but recovered on
the last making field goal. Wilt

Winslow seemed unable to get start

her. The mountineers were playing
in good form, displaying even-run-

Holm opened up with field goal,
the first score for his team. Another
foul was called and Williams took
advantage of it ringing free throw.
Winslow failed to register a point on

COCON|NO ROAD GANG
WORKS ON HIGHWAY

Captain j. B. Wright, Coconino
county engineer, was in the city
Tuesday afternoon purchasing sup
plies for his road gang, which is
starting to make temporary repairs
to the east end of the CocoEino sec
ton of the Old Trails highway.
According to report that county
plans to spend about $4,000 at this
time on the Canyon Padre Winslow
section of the highway. This sum,
although not sufficient to put the
road in good condition, will improve
it, considerably.
With the movement which is on
foot to hard surface the Canyon
Padre Winslow section and with the
commendable spirit which the people
of Flagstaff are promoting the pro-
position, it is likely that the worst
stretch" of the Old Trails Highway
will become a thing of the past in
year or two.

 There is no immediate danger of a strike, the rules of the trolleymen's union providing that arbitration must be sought first before any drastic action can be taken. The trolleymen's board will not make the suggestion to arbitrate, however. they believing that the proffer should come from the com pany if no other arrangement that will be acceptable to the. men can be reached between them. The men are determined to stand on their demands for an increase because the company in it's recent raise i'll fares declared the increase was necessary because of the raise given the trolleymen last June. The men insist that they are not re- sponsible but if they are then they might just as well be getting the extra money as the credit of getting it and this accounts mainly for the present determined stand.

 Workers Plea Ignored

Atlantic City, June 21.-Between two and three billion dollars worth of locomotive power is annually lost in this country and experts will devise methods to utilize this waste, it was announced at the meeting of the American Railway Association.
 Railroad executives, 1t was stated, are surprised that the locomotives of the combined railroads of the country are operated i'll revenue service on an average less than eight hours a day.
 Railroad employees made this identi cal point when they were urging the eight t-hour movement that eliminated in the Adamson law. At that time the employees insisted trains should be speeded up, and that this would bene- fit the community through quicker freight deliveries.

Steam and Hoisting Engineers from

There were about 125 present and Fitzgerald had provided the dogs" in proportion but when he arrived at the hall found that the gas supply had not been turned on and he was stuck as to the cooking of the dogs and kraut. He became real HHot Dog himself about that time but refused to be stumped and managed to scare up all oil stove and the fuel so the dogs went on and were relished the more under the circumstances. During the day the officers of the association were all re- elected, including Business Agent Fitzgerald his activities in getting steam up for the dogs being consid- cred ample proof of his ability
 The lack of gas had Bareback at the regular meeting of the New Haven Trades Council on Thursday night when MT. Fitzgerald protested about the supply being shut off. It developed that the gas line was the exclusive property of the plumbers and steam filters union and that being responsible for the supply and usage they had locked the meter. On motions from the floor after considerable debate the council trustees were instructed to pro- vide gas supply, with prepayment meter, so that any who happen to en- gage the hall for like celebration will have gas to cook with in the future,

Hell and Maria"
 Fats In the Fire

There are about 4.00O, ,O0O organ ized workers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, to speak in round numbers. There are perhaps another million and a half not affiliated but yet fully organized. To these we would address a question:
 Wasn't it Gen. Cor Hell and Maria) Dawes who said not SO long ago that the GALLONS was the only fit place for man con- nected with a labor Organization and that he would help to bring them up there?
 Wasn't it the same MT. Dawes who was quoted in the New York World of Monday, this week, as being the foremost exponent of the 'open shop in the land?"
 The Labor News doesn't have to answer these questions. Every Labor man knows the answer re- gardless of his politics.
 Dawes is going to be touted during the campaign as the saw four of Europe through the Dawes plan on reparations." Dawes had as much to do with that plan as the writer. It was written by a commission headed by Dr. .'Franklin right here and Dawes sent over as an errand boy to deliver it with a lot of 'palla- yer" to put it over.
 He's got the gift of gab men
 BUT UNION MEN!
 Think what that gift of gab might do to you if Coolidge is elected president and Dawes vice president and therefore presiding officer over the Senate and pos sibly the president himself.
 There's millions of you. What are you going to do about it?

 President Coolidge issued the order. after conference with Chairman ho committee and Director Lord of the budget. MT. Lord pointed out that since 1t clearly was the intent of con gress that the salaries should be re- vised as called for in the classification act of 1923, any extra appropriation necessary would be approved immedi ately upon the convening of congress in December. ...
 Field service employees whose sal aries are specifically fixed by law will not receive the increase but Director Lord said these cases are only one per cent of the total number.

, Sales Tax Rejected
 By Canadian Business

Montreal, June 21.-The Canadian sales tax was declared economically unsound" by Dominion business men at the annual convention of the Can adian Manufacturers Association in this city.
 The tax was recently reduced from six to five per cent. It was declared that the tax has raised the cost of liv ing in Canada, has pyramided costs to manufacturers and placed heavy handicap on them.
 The sales tax has been strongly urged in the United States, and the Dominion of Canada was cited by sales tax enthusiasts as an example of the benefits that follow this legislation.
