THE FARMING SITUATION

Mr.. Farmer keeps wondering why his mar
ket condition is not BETTER Just as his vege-
tables come on, in comes an outside market and
forces the price down. What happens? Every
body loses, for the farmers money is to be reck-
'oned with and we know it, There is lust one
way to curb the importation of products and that
is give it publicity, especially firms that operate
on the scale that every dollar you give them
means a dollar to help make you q greater slave
to their idea and less opportunity for the market
ing of your local products. Arizona products
keep Arizona money in Arizona On the other
side of the question those firms that don't adVer-
tise Arizona products SO the people may know
they have no excuse ii an outside market ruins
the sale of their product So many Out-Of-State
people settling in Arizona annually must be con-
stantly kept in touch with Arizona products or
accept out-of-state goods that they have used
for years. Hence, if the producers of Arizona's 81
products want to enlighten the public not to buy
imported and use theirs, they must help those
that are ready to help them advertise and en-
tighten Arizona's increasing population. If you
will note the average country newspaper in Ari-
IONA carries hardly an ad of the big industrial
firms They leave it to the daily press, little
thinking that the country newspapers are read
by their customers with a local pride. Instead
Of trying to keep the little newspapers out Of ez
istence, it would be far better for them to use
their columns to make friends with the home
town citizens these newspapers represent.
Editor Carpenter of the Arizona Labor Jour
nal in an editorial, "The Judas in Unionism,"
states in part Rather have a thousand scabs
than one spy" He is a cancer that should be
rooted out of the labor movement, no matter
what the cost" Editor Carpenter is right. Not
only should he be rooted out of labor but politics
as we'll The origin of 'poltics makes queer bed
fellows" comes out of the spy system. Machine-
like politics are nothing but a spy system on a.
huge scale. Such system rots the very founda-
tion of every government, but still we find it an
art and trade with some people, who double
cross the union that makes them their bread and
bite the very hand that feeds them. What can
you expect of such combination? If they can't
get you peacefully, they use force. How such q
conscience can allow that soul to exist is bevond
humanity. For pittance they take any road
and for a sum they will stab you in the back and
for a greater sum and protection they will commit
murder The title Of "spy" covers many phases
that the average human can hardly conceive.
The average voter can grasp the situation if heI
will "look and listen"
Arizona's untold millions are yet to be heard
from. Rich strikes in ore are coming in from
many parts of the state. New projects under!

ceiVe our wonderland that has hardly been touch
ed. 1t is beyond the powers that be to wrest this
from Arizona. Like knowledge it is impossibleI
to rob Arizona Of its resources. In justice to all
our nation will not. We. must have confidenceI
in our neighbors and nation. That protection
given every state in this union can play no favor
