obra del immortal dramaturgo Don
T Fedro Calderon de la Barca. Sc

fantastica inverosimil que la de

La accion de Dinamarca, es la

La profundidad de los psnsamien-

arroz Sc podra vender despues que
sea bmpiado. En- un case similar oue

no podrta ser puesto en- venta un

WHY FARMERS AND COMMERCE.
ALISTS DO NOT COOPERATE

The Arizona Farm Bureau had a
splendid program at Joyland on the
Fourth of July. 1t was cited as the
renewal of methods inaugurated in
Olden times when all national politi-
cal demonstrations were headed by
the farmers. N. w. Benning had
charge of the program wherein sew
eral prominent speakers took part.
Among those who spoke were G. P.
Spillsbury of the Producers AssOcia-
tion and Mr.. Elliott of the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce, followed by
President Brown of the Bureau. The
barbecue was all that could have been
expected, only there were about two
to one more visitors to be cared for
than was expected. Very few of the
ruralists present, however, took part
in the dancing and swimming festiv-
titles. The theme of two of the speak
ers was "CO-Operaton," citing the fact
of lack of interest of the farmers
and producers to work together for
mutual advantage. No remedy for
this apparent lassitude of the produc-
ers was proposed, except "co-opera-
ton"
The speakers didn't dwell on the
fact that, while they who represent
ed the commercial organizations
worked assiduous1y for their own or
ganizations, the Indifference of the
ruralistS was because it is a proverb-
ial truth that the farmers and pro-
ducers are always exploited by the
financial and commercial classes
They did not say that every time
there was crop failure that the bur-
den of the losses always falls upon
the famers. There was said nothing
about the natural division caused by
Drofit-seeking spectators (always in
the ranks of the commercialists) who
take advantage of surplus products
to lower prices to disadvantage of the
producers and profit of those who
combine together to lower prices. No
thought was evolved why the farm
ers are always suspicious of these
representatives Of commerce-because
THE FARMER ALWAYS LOSES
WHEN THE GAMBLERS AND SPEC
ULATORS WIN. When prices on
local products go down the local COM
mercialists profit, whereas the local
producers and farmers note with ex-
treme apprehension that what they
lose means profit to others. Rural
producers are always the ones ex-
plotted, and the representatives of
the commercialists and financiers are
always bowling Cooperation" where
as their so-called cooperation means
personal profit to themselves at ex-
pense of the producers, who seldom
get an even break on any proposals
of the commercialists.

MAKING HUNT LOOK AT HIS
HOLE CARD

milford Winsor could well use the
words of Admiral Perry: 81 have met
the enemy and he is mine" The
Senator performed a valuable and
comendable service to the citizenship
OF this state when he directed as
Henry Ashurst would say "the calci-
um light of pitiless publicity on the
mistakes, falsehoods, hypocrisy, dema-
gogary and unworthiress of the Gov
ernOr. WinsOr proved the case of the
people against the Chief Executive
and he did it with neatness and dis
patch.
It is to be hoped, but vain hope,
we fear, that the severe chastise-
ment the Governor has received will
prove Of benefit to him. Make him
tolerant of the honest opinion of
others; teach him that others have
the right to hold opinions even If
they happen to be contrary to those
held by him; prove to him that after
all he is not an autocrat with the
power Of life and death over his sub
tects but only constitutional officer
temporarily holding an exalted office
But whether it does or not the people
have had the curtain lifted and have
been given an intimate view of the
motives and methods Of their Chief
Executive. They know the facts. The
matter is in their hands.
If we can judge public opinion, peo.
pie are desirous that Arizona return
tc constitutional government, and If
we can read signs Alright, G.. W. P.
Hunts political domination Of Ari
zona is doomed to inevitable destruc.

SENATOR CoXS CHANCES FOR
GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA

Senator J. J. Cox, who was elected
by voters Of Arizona on a new bank
ing law platform last year, has open
ly announced that he will run for
governor next year. At a glance we
say his chances are good.
Judge Cox didn't make a spentane-
Gus hit on banking in the legislature
last session. There was a reason
He got in there because he was voted
for by people of Maricopa who had
been outrageously exploited by finan-
cial crooks. 1t was the expression
of 1000 robbed depositors. They
hoped he would make depositors'
money more secure in future. But
when Senator Cox got to the Senate
he found he was up against ina
chine politics" He was not crea-
ture of the machine" and did not
stand 'ace high. So, what could he
do? Blocked at every turn, his bank
ing law was ANONYMOUSLY defeated.
The machine" defeated every prop.
Osition offered to ameliorate the
banking situation. The power of the
machine" was opposed by the anti
Hunt faction. Cox, between two fires,
saw and sensed the outcome with
much chagrin and modification. He
found himself helpless.
The Hunt faction, in possession of
State banks, did not want a new
banking law. Just why is now ap-
parent. The State has stepped in as
a preferred creditor" and actually
robbed the depositors of defunct
banks Of even their smallest prorata
of whatever they might have received.
The anti-Hunt faction never were
for q new banking law. They stood
fast and foremost for the financial in
terests, who did not approve Cox's
candidacy. Cox was between two
opposing factions.
But he has evidently sensed rem
edy. If new banking law is depend
ent upon gubernatoria1 influence and
action, then Cox's only alternative
must be that either himself or some
one more popular than he would have
to succeed Governor Hunt. Taking
this view and believing that the peo-
pie who voted for him in hopes of
creating a reform in Arizona bank
ing, were still in accord, Senator Cox
has evidently thought 1t necessary
to step into the breach. His candid
acy for governor of Arizona will prove
| popular and If nominated, he will
stand we'll to be elected over any
other candidate, even though Hunt
| individually and his machine" may
| antagonize him.
