broken boards and galvanized iron;
that there was nothing in said shack
but dirt and said shack or the ma.
terial in it was not worth more than
$4.00. That contestant has reason to
believe and therefore alleges the fact
to be that said Hickey, without any
authority of law or otherwise placed
said shack on said land; it was done
apparently for the purpose of fortify-
ing herself in her attempt to submit
final proof; that through the efforts
of said Hickey for the past three or
more years she has been instrum ent-
al in one way or another in prevent
ing said entry from being contested
or from being cancelled. Contestant
further alleges, as he is informed and
therefore verify believes, that said
Hickey has attempted repeatedly to
have entryman's alleged devisee,
Wesley Franklin, submit final proof
on said entry and that he has repeat
edly refused to do so.
Contestant further states the fact
to be that shortly after said final
proof was submitted by said Hickey,
as aforesaid, said shack was promptly
removed from said land and that it
is no longer upon said land.
Contestant further alleges that the
failure of the heir, or heirs, alleged
devisee of said entryman, or any
mortgage or assignee of any mort
gagee, to either live upon said land,
cultivate or Craze any portion of said
land or place any improvements there
on, was not and is not due to their
affiliatiOn in any manner with either
the military or naval organizations
of the United States.
You are, therefore, further notified
that the said allegations will be taken
as confessed, and your said entry
will be Cancelled without FURTHER right
to be heard, either before this Office
or on appeal, if you fail to file in this
Office within twenty days after the

BIG FISH EAT UP THE LITTLE
ONES

The ranks of the small rural week
lies are getting thinner every year
1t is SO with all small traders in
every industry. The big fellows get
together and capitalize themselves so
that they can out-buy and out-sell the
little ones; then, with their ability to
advertise, they attract buyers away
from the small traders; people are
so used to reading that they make
mental note Of supplies and prices and
the suggestion follows to go where
these supplies may be had But, as
usual with all big concerns, they cen
tralize their advertising in friendly
journals who favor their combinations
in restraint of trade; not openly, Of
course, but by their silence, and fail
ing to arouse the public conscience
to the evils of restrained trade; in
terfering with the natural laws of
supply and demand by special privi-
lege methods; combinations to pool
and fix prices on all manufactures and
products. In other words, by winking
at 1axity of law enforcement, papers
favor outlawry and commercial crime
The law for pure foods are mis-
nomer and are seldom heard of ex-

whether it be a grocer, butcher or
baker. Get him out of the way to
make room for u.s." We, Us and Co.
are the only ones to be considered in
the great race for dollars. Such mer-
cenary instincts are growing and are
corrupting the social, religious and
educational fabric of the world. Sci
entific research is yearly tearing down
the tenets of Christian thought and
civilization. The youth and young
men of the country are growing up in
an atmosphere of jazz and joy, without
thought of anything but getting the
money.
Corporation training includes hon
esty-to the corporation-while at the
same time corporations use every ef-
fort to automatically coerce or ac-
quire trade by what, under Christian
tenets would be termed discrimina-
tive and technically dishonest meth
DDS. "Crowding business" by getting
the dollars any old way, just so that
they may not be made subjects of
criminal court action, is too generally
considered by those high up in the
business world as perfectly justified
and legitimate.
There once was a time when in
civilized communities tainted occupa-
tions barred those engaged therein
from society. No such fear nowadays
actuates the average man, or woman,
in the business Of barter and trade.
The crime is being too poor to COM
pete against the big fellows and make
it a success.

MOTOR BUSES VS.. PHOENIX
STREET RAILWAY

About forty years ago the big light
ing companies of the great cities who
used gas were confronted with the
problem of electric light competition.
Electricity had come to stay, and stay
it did. In sheer desperation and pro-
lection to their own business, the big
gas companies bought stock in the
new electric light plants over the
country. Today the gas and electric
companies are combined in almost
every large city, the same as they
are in Phoenix. So, too, the new
era of transportation, few years ago.
was forecast when the jitneys were
called out in every strike affecting
railroad or street railway transporta-
ton. The railroads themselves are
now the owners of huge motor buss-
es as an adjunct to carrying pas
sengers to and from their main line
stations. In Phoenix, the Southern
Pacific runs daily busses to and from
Roosevelt Lake, carrying tourists
over their lines who come to see the
wonders of Arizona. The Santa Fe
is following suit with a string of
busses that will run to and from the
Grand Canyon and other points of
interest for travellers along their lines.
The sequel is that huge future is
predicted for the motor bus transpor-
tatiOn companies everywhere. In the
u. S. today there are over three hun
dred millions of dollars invested in
motor busses carrying three billion
passengers annually. The city Of
Phoenix may enter the motor bus
industry by granting a franchise to
the Moody Bus Company. This will,
however, depend much upon the price
of fares thruout the municipality
Certain it is that if 10-cent fare
is allowed, the local purveyors of
electrical energy will use both money
and influence of political and busi-
ness pressure to oppose the bus in
stallations. In fact, it openly inti-
mated that the Central Arizona Light
& Power Company is behind the move
to rehabilitate the derelict street car
lines under proposals for new fran
chise for street car service over the
old tracks and new ones. If the 10
cent fare is part Of the proposal
of the motor bus company, it is
pointed out that there will be the
strongest opposition from about
three-fourths of the population who
come and go from work in the down
town districts every day. Let the
population be assured of service and
opposition to the street cars will dis
appear almost unanimously, because
of the proposed 10-cent fare of the
motor bus promoters. The city COM
missioners will hardly be averse to
a renewal of street car service by
some new responsible corporation
that will keep tracks and overhead
installations in repair and working
condition Should the Arizona Light
& Power Company take over the
equipment, or assist in formation of
a new corporation with that impulse
to furnish power, there is good rea-
son to infer local municipal author
tiles will be glad to enter into a new
franchise with new promoters on ba-
sis of the old fares and transfers.

How the American Business Press
is hammering poor, old despised Rus
sia, torn with civil strife and antag-
onism between the classes? During
the American rebellion, when Gar
Alexander the End was emperor, Rus
sia sent fleet to New York, which
checked England and France from
recognizing the Confederacy. Since
then, America has become the most
powerful of nations. When Russia
becomes better educated she will be
as powerful as she is big.

test he alleges that:
That said entryman, single man.
died on or about November 5, 1918,
without having established residence

queathing and devising all Of his
property to Wesley Franklin, which
will has never been probated.

every custodian Of a will, with

formation that the maker thereof
is dead, must deliver the same to
the superior court having juris-
diction of the estate, or to the
executor named therein"
That contestant heretofore, on June
7, 1924, filed contest charges against
this same entry which were allowed
by decision of the Commissioner of
the General Land Office rendered
August %, 1924, and which decision
was affirmed by the Secretary of the
Interior on January "a, 1925.
That the said alleged will was re.

existing law in her possession for
period of more than five years and
same has never yet been officially

heirs, so contestant is informed and
believes, have never been upon said
land, and that they have never paid
the slightest attention to said land or
entry.
That on April II, 1924, a party by
the name Of Edith r. Hickey, of Phoe-
nix, Arizona, without any right, title
or interest, and being an entire stran-
ger to the record, attempted to and
did submit final proof in connection
with said entry before the Register
and Receiver of the United States
Land Office, Phoenix, Arizona. Con-
testant alleges that the said Edith
r. Hickey has no interest in said
land, that her attempt to submit final
proof on said entry was a mere sub
terfuge and without legal right, or
otherwise.
Contestant further alleges that on
or about the time final proof was at
tempted to be submitted, and was sub
mitted, on said entry by said Hickey,
a dilapidated, broken and torn down
shack, size about 7x8x1O feet was
placed on said land; that there were
no windows in said shack; that there
was no foundation to said shack;
