just the same. He does not want to
be the arbiter Of the destinies Of mill
lions Of men and women, but he is
just the same.
Sooner or later Americans have got
to grapple intelligently with this
great question Of industrial autocracy
and find the way by which democracy
may take its place. This is no con-
demnation Of what exists. That
came from definite causes.
But unless men can carry democ-
racy into industry there will shortly
cease to be any democracy that means
anything in the lives IT the great
masses Of the people. We live in an
industrial age.

PREDICT HIGHER PRICES
Increased living prices are predicted
by New York business observers. 1t
is stated that the present upward
trend will continue.
One financial writer offers this con-
ISOLATION to the wage worker:
"It is not an easy matter for the
average consumer to enthuse over the
stiffening Of prices for the goods and
commodities in daily use. Neverthe-
less such developments must be con-
sidered in the light Of general eco
nomic progress and quite often the
advent Of higher prices ushers in 9
more prosperous situation for the sal
aried worker far removed in dali!
routine from the articles in question
ITO the manufacturer, the producer
the distributor or the retailer the stu
alton is quite different. An upward
revision of prices may, and quite Otter
does, bridge the chasm between los'
and eventual bankruptcy, and full
measure of prosperity, with funds TO
dividends and the ever-desirable sur
plus. Such a condition is apparentl.
about to be ushered in, following di
rectly upon a long upward movemen

pains and application, is ever sweet

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR
LABOR IN ILLINOIS

The American Contractor, speaking
for employers, says that under the
Illinois anti-injunction law "it is evi-
dent that the unions in Illinois are in
position to do about as they please
without danger of being called to
account"
This is sheer nonsense. Unions
can not be called into court and pun
ished by a judge who is prosecutor
and jury as we'll as Judge. But they
are subject to all the laws that bind
the rest of the citizenship, and they
may violate those laws only at their
peril.
The union men of Illinois have not
game any exemption. What they
have gained is an equality with en-
ployers before the law in regard to
the use Of injunctions. They are now
as free as employersEand no more
so.
Union men are now in a position
where they know what is the law
While the injunction was lawful in
strument no man knew what was the
law until the judge told him, because
the judge made the law and ther
ordered its enforcement.
Judges in Illinois can not now call
union men before them and make FOL
union men kind Of law that does
not apply to others. The American
Contractor ought to understand this
and very likely it does understand it
But it must continue the old pose
To do otherwise would be to admit
that in the past it had been wrong
and that, Of course, would never do.
But what difference does it make
so long as union men have won this
measure Of equality before the law?

PROMISES THAT WERE MEANT

President Coolidge has adopted the policy in en-
forcing his campaign Of economy, as promised to
The people, in calling the leaders of his party as
well as department chiefs to the White House and
personally impressing on them the necessity of
what he himself has said, economy and still more
economy Recently when the chiefs of one bu-
reau attempted in congress to "log rolf for a
larger appropriation than the Coolidge budget hao
allowed he lost no time in mpressing on then
that repetition of this offense might result H.
some vacancies. The fact that at the head of the
nation there is man anxious to save millions OF
ohe peoples money and yet fully appreciates that
such savings can only be made piece by piece has
already had the effect of curing and dssipatine
many departmental day-dreams As a result al
departments of the government are beginning to
reflect hot perhaps willingly but with little ele
nent Of fear the presidents ambitions Mean
while his basic rule is that with economy there
must be increased efficiency.
The cooperation of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, of course is genuine and originates with
in himself Announcement is now made that the
treasury has reduced the public debt by almost
a billion dollars within the last II months This
makes on 4 per cent basis an additional Saving
Of nearly S40,000,000 a year interest charges

INTRODUCING HIM TO JEHOVAH

This was the prayer Of Rev. SeaboIn Crutch-
field, chaplain of the Arizona house of represen-
tatives, at the inauguration Monday of last week,
of George w. 2. Hunt as governor of this state
for the fifth time:
"Oh Thou Eternal Jehovah. We stand this day
in happy, hopeful Joyous expectation of continued
prosperity as the grand old Roman assumes the
gubernatorial responsibilities of this great COM
monwealth for the fifth time.
'We pray for him wisdom to recommend to the
lawmakers the enactmentS of such laws as will be
for the best interest of our state and the appoint
ment of efficient and worthy persons to places
over which he has control, so that it will con
tribute to and eliminate in the placing of our state
on the highest pedestal Of any state in this union
Grant that he may have the cooperation and
support of all our citizens from every hilltop high
to valley low, desert waste to city full regardless
of their political affiliations or religious creeds.

TOLERANCE

There are a lot of people in Arizona most of
them in Yuma and Mohave counties, who believe
the building Of the Boulder Canyon dam would be
a blessing to the state. Yet, others who honestly
oppose the project are unjust as to class those
favoIing the enterprise as betrayers Of the inter
ests Of Arizona A sincere difference of opinion
never should lead anyone to evil utterances or to
cause person to class the one differing from him
as a crook or bribe-taker Those who are unable
to see the other side of an issue of public conce1
generally are too narrow-minded to carry any
weight hemselves.-Prescott Courier.
Those who live near the Colorado river are af
fected most by the dangerous delay in providing
flood control. Others not interested or only to q
political extent, have stopped so low as to chal
enge the motives OF men favorable to the com
pact.
The editor of The Messenger believes the COM
pact should be ratified by the Arizona legislature
without delay. Article vi provides for settling
the imaginary differences with California and Ne
vada relative to water distribution. The tax ques
tion needs no argument
Election is over now and the silly talk made by
Hunt and Maxwell, should be taken at its rea
worth which is very litte.-Phoenix Messenger

Do you think he need to be talked to.
or what? Give me your advice as to
whether I should marry him or not.
You cannot very well marry him

your So that rather takes that part
Of 1t out OF your hands.
The young man seems to be mod

10, so surely should be in no hurry
to marry. I'd suggest that you
should not try to rush matters, but
that neither should you be engaged
to him. When a man is very indeh-
mite about marriage, it is. best not to
let him be too sure of you.
