Strike Prisoners Face Sorry Xmas.
PASSAIC, N. J.. Dec. 15.-Eleven
men in the Passaic textile strike dis
trict are going to have a sorry Christ
mas If help doesn't come to them very
quickly These are the prisoners that
have been held in the Bergen county
and Passaic county jails since the
week Of September 20 on evidence
presented only by the police. No
charges have been brought against
the eleven men by any other persons.
The hatred which the police feel
toward the strikers for the nation
wide publicity given to the general
clubbing tactics of officers of the law is
exceedingly bitter. The strikers need
legal help and need it badly. Eighty
cases are pending on appeal. Picket
line arrests mostly on imaginary
charges take place continually.
It is to take care Of all this work
that the Joint Committee for Passaic
Defense was established by the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union and the
International Labor Defense. This
committee has started a national cam
paign to raise funds for the legal de-
tense of the textile strikers. They
want to get the eleven men now in
jail out on bail before Christmas, if
possible.

and Use Buses Only

cago Motor Coach company and head
of the Yellow cab interests, has urged
the city council to abolish the surface
lines in Chicago and give the bus com

cars are abandoned and the car tracks
torn up. He also offered to reduce
the bus fare from 10 cents to z cents,
and give the entire system to the city

The proposal is to be considered by
abe council. A settlement in Chi
csgo's transportation problem must be
made soon, as the surface line con-
tracts expire Jan. 81.

as to bride a cabinet officer in or
der that he might cheat and swindle

country tLct he loves. In the name
OF God, use your ideas of decency and
honesty, give us as quick as the law
allows, the only answer that can be
made to that charge" he pleaded.

Are State Taxes
Excessive?

There is no subject more involved,
or about which more discussion has
centered than that OF taxation.
Some OF the discussion is intelli-
gent, while most Of it deals in
meaningless generalities.
There is no phase of the financial
transactions of the State Of Arizona
about which there is any veil of
secrecy.
The laws of the State provide for
adequate auditing and reports show
ing expenditures of public funds,
and these are available for the study
of the people of the State.
A great deal has been said and
printed, from time to time, about the
mounting burden of State taxes.
THIS CRITICISM DOES NOT HOLD
TRUE AS REGARDS THE STATE
OF ARIZONA.

purposes, the State maintains tie

charges that high Indiana officials.
some of them candidates for re ~!ec-
ton, had entered into corrupt l. ais
with D. G. Stephenson. former Ku
KIuX Klan grand dragon.
Efforts were made TO obtain a
grand jury report before election, but
the jury reported it had no indict-
ments to return before that time.
Allegations of ku KluX klan in
fluence over Republican officials ap-
parently were the subject OF inquiry
throughout today. George S. Elliott,
former cyclops of the Klan in this
county, was questioned for several
hours. Most of the other witnesses
were also persons familiar with
county politics.
A long procession of witnesses
from Indianapolis was taken as an
indication that for the present. at
least. the inquiry is being centered
