RIDICULED COAT,
 OWNER KILLED H!N
Army Uniform Owner Admits
 ReSentins Teasing

New York, Sept, a--Thc World War; in the opinion of police, may have been in part responsible for the death yesterday Of Francisco An hello, 4S, who was shot and killed as he was leaving his home at lo9 Nelson street. Brooklyn.
 Arrested by a policeman and fire man who saw him running from An nello's home, Joseph Ri2zuttc. of 70l7 llth avenue, Brooklyn. con fcssed he killed AnncIlo because the latter had ridiculed and destroyed his old army uniform blouse,
 \ Sacred Relic
 It was an ordinary khaki coat, but io ltizzutte it was sacred relic. In It he had faced death. In it he had been wounded twice and sholI- shocked during q memorable offen- siYe against the Germans in the Meuse-Argonne. The coat had a bullet hole in one sleeve and an- other holc near the right shoulder. The khaki was a little faded.
 Six years mad passed since Rig 2ntte put that coat carefully and ten derly away. He took it out only to year in Memorial Day parades. He was proud of it and on Labor Day he had occasion to display it again.
 The Fruit Packers union, of which both Rizzutte and Annello were members. was having an out ing on Staten Island Monday. Off cials of the union had requested that all members who had fought in the war wear their uniforms. Rizzutte gladly compiled. His associates com mented on his gallant appearance They noted that the oll bullet holes in the coat never had been covered up. They remained there for all the world 10 see that Rizzutte had fought and bled and suffered for his country.
 fingered by Ridiculc
 Rizzutto asserts, and witnesses support his story, that Annello ridi- cued the uniform. You look like a cloWn," he is said 10 have told Rizzutte. "Thc wars over, isn't it ?"
 The veteran was enragcd. The wars over. What did Annello know about the war? Rizzutte asked. The war would never be over for him, he told his associates, for he remembered one night when he went over the top and how he suddenly felt weak and found him self gasping for breath, groping on the ground. while all about him men were rushing forward, cannons were booming, and the air was bright with bursting shells.
 Gan ever forget that?" Joe Rig zutte shouted. His companions nuieted him and tried to humor him. As it was picnic, they advised Joe and Francisco Anncllo 10 make up and he friends. Rizzutte. in order 10 forget the hurt, went out 10 play | ball He left his army coat hang

CONTRACTS SET
 WEIGHT OF STARS
HoYie Actress Must Keep Under
 1SO Pounds

New York, Sept. 9. -Dorothy Maehuill, one of the First National screen stars, IS IS years old and an ounce or two over 11S pounds. If, however, she should eat heavily, so heavily that her weight would eX- coed 30 pounds, she loses her job, according to a new fve-ycar con- tracts which she signed yesterday.
 Richard A. Rowland, who heads the First NatiCsll company, hpon being told that his new regulation had been discovered, replied by Say ing:
 This will not apply only to Miss MaCkall but 10 all of our young women stars. I need not mention names, but you will admit that va rious prominent stars who have been carefully trained and developed have a tendency to allow themselves to grow stout and in some cases almost unavailable for the parts which they are supposed to play.
 Tn the case of one young woman star her company was forced 10 de- vote several months and a great deal Of money toward bringing her back 10 her normal weight. l suppose it is the easy life and the reckless way lin which the actresses arrange their diets that cause them 10 grow heavy. Miss MackaiIl happens to be the first of our stars 10 come under the ,now 'anti-fat' ruling. Most assured ly, If she should exceed the l30- pound limit, she will automatically release the company from the con- tract"
 The contracts novel clause fol- lows: K x the artist agrees that she will during the entire term of the contract take diligcnt care of her health, weight and appearance so as 10 render an artistic rcpreson- ,ation Of any roles 10 which she may be assigned \ the company Imay terminate this contract at any time after in" weight of the artist shall exceed 1So pounds"

C GOVERNMENT RELIEF FROM
"PRICE FIXERS" FORECAST

nicely adjusted scales are being tam
pered with and thrown out of balance.
Somebody Is Specializing in Foods
This was one Of the matters dealt
with at the recent annual meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States and was the subject OF
one of the resolutions, deplOring the
practice and urging that the govern
ment adopt means to prevent it or
curtail as far as possible an offense
which from the earliest times was re-
garded as one of the most serious of
crimes. 1t was variously known as
forestalling, engrossing and regrating.
Previous to the time of Edward vi
it was a common-law offense, but in
his reign severe statutes were direct
ed against it and in some cases the
penalty for their violation was death.
Various other statutes were enacted
up to the reign of Queen Anne.
Less than century ago they were
repealed, leaving the crime standing
as common-1aw offense. 1t has new
er been SO regarded in this country,
but we have various statutory enact
ments against the artificial fixing of
prices, all of them enacted, we believe,
within the last fifty years, but they
have not been enforced though at
times the government has growled
severely in the case of flagrant cor
ners and monopolies.
The Relief Demanded in Such Cases
Has been not for the great body of
the people who were hurt by the ar
tificial prices, but for other gamblers
than those who engineered the mon
Opolies and corners.
In another resolution the United
States Chamber of Commerce touch
ed upon this matter. Under the head
of governmental interference with bus
mess, while the Chamber deplored the
sometime tendency of bureaus to har-
ass and annoy by "frivilous and cur
ious inquiry" it urged "the fullest in
vestigation by the government of any
thing which the proper governme
official may have good reason to sus-
pect is violation of the law of the
land"
Necessarily, the interference of the
government in cases of corners and
monopolies and artificial price fixing
could take place only when these Of
fenses are committed on a more or
less extensive scale, affecting the peo-
| pie of more than one state. But the
relief afforded in such cases would
| be felt over correspondingly wide
area. In order that the greatest re.
lief should be granted, the states
should be empowered to deal with the
offense confined within their borders
where the sharpest increases by ar
tificial price-fixing occur.

WHEN DO WE START?
Reiteration of An Old Question Star
ted a Year AGO

Now then, since the daily press Of
Arizona is thoroughly organized why
wouldn't it be good time for the
rural or country press to do the same?
We should all have "code of ethics"
as Brother Mills of the Phoenix Mes
senger has said. Let's plan for a
Chair of Journalism in Arizona. The
wild and woolly" parts of the west
have been morally overcome, and al
though Arizona is the youngest state
of the Union, her newspapers are far
above the average publications of
many of the middle and western
states. There are many problems of
the Arizona weekly press that could
be intelligently discussed, besides the
social life of those in the business,
which could be materially benefited
by formation of such an association,
and would soon become statewide in
influential importance.-Arizona State
Miner.
We're with you old man! When
do we start? And we are glad that
you are now following up our idea as

Los ANGELES AND THE ARIZONA

Arrangements for a conference be-
tween the High Line canal advocates
of Arizona and Los Angeles city Of

RADIO river developments, are being
made by the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce.
The recent LaRue report indicat-
ing that the Bridge Canyon dam site
is more favorable for the proposed
development by Los Angeles of q
water supply from the Colorado river
than is the Boulder Canyon site, has
made the possible Los Angeles de-
velopment coincide identically with
the High Line canal project from the
Bridge Canyon site to Topock.
Information received by the Con
tinental Loan and Trust company of
Phoenix assures that the project, If
jointly worked out by Los Angeles
and the Arizona High Line canal pro.
ject will be financed.
Three-Quarters of the expense of the
proposed Arizona high line canal
would go for the construction work

THAT CROOKED BLACK CANYON
ROAD

E. S. Wheeler, district engineer of
the federal bureau of public roads
before the Hiram Club recently said:
"The Black Canyon route is SO
crooked that you can read your own
rear license plate going around the
curves. To eliminate these curves
lengthen the route from to IL miles.
The new road will be no longer than
the Black Canyon road, which is 112
miles. 1t will have a maximum grade
of six per cent, and can be negotiated
by any passenger carrying car on high
and travel will be safe on the basis OF
a running time Of three and g half to
four hours between Phoenix and Pres
cott."
This is the route used by the Smokl
motorcade from Phoenix instead OF
the Wickenburg or White Spar
route.
The criticism is well deserved and
the Wickenburg garages and hotels
ought to have it printed and posted
at both ends of the Black Canyon
route.

Phoenix Republican EditoriaIiy Falls
In Line With Sentiment of
Nations Rural Papers

Nations Rural Papers
Constant hammering of the smaller
dailies and rural Weeklies of the ma
tion is proving effective in battering
down the influence of big corporation
organs-the kept press-mouthplece
supported by big business.
During many years of closest OBJ
servation the Phoenix Republican has
studiously refrained from limiting or
suggesting word derogatory to "big
business" tampering with the laws of
supply and demand relating to fixing
Of prices on food, clothing and the
necessities of life.
The Republican, like all of it's kind,
keeps it's mouth shut on all matters
tending to interfere with breaches or
violations in restraint of trade which
every year are growing bolder and
more distinctly outrageous. This is
openly manifest. How could it be
otherwise? 1t is the advertising or.
gan of human vultures that profit by
combining in restraint of trade, fix.
ing of prices and adulteration of
foods. One never sees the advertise
ments of "price-fxers" in the modest
rural publications of the land, whence
only real honest sentiment dares to
emanate. Yet the rural districts fur
nish the trade which enriches such
trade combinations.
Yesterdays editorial leader in the
Republican is notable exception

The tone is mold, rather of condon-
ing nature, which may be interpreted
as "Cry from Macedonia; Come and
Help U.s."
1t has been observed that from the
beginning of the year the purchasing
power of the dollar has been lowering
around So cents against an average
of 81 cents last year. The index fig
ures from which the purchasing power
Of the dollar is determined are found
by comparisons from time to time
of the prices Of a large number OF
commodities which come under tho
head of necessities as distinguished
from luxuries. These commodities
include staple articles of food, as well
az clothing, rents and such items rs
necessarily make up the cost of liv
ing. By far the greater number ol
these commodities are articles of food
Naturally, prices vary according te
the fluctuations of supply and demand
but the variations are greater some
times than appear to be warranted

mand. There are evidences that these
