GRAHAM FORMS
ELLINWOOD FOR
GOVERNOR CLUB

Stafford - The Graham county
Ellinwood for Governor club was
formed this week by prominent
Democrats of Graham county. Alex
H. Kennedy was selected as chair
man. Kennedy is mayor of Stafford
and is we'll known as farmer and
poultry man in this community.
In accepting the Craftsmanship of
the Ellinwood campaign, Kennedy
said "I am for Ellinwood because
I believe the state of Arizona has
the absolute need for a man of his
ability, integrity and known loyalty
to Arizona.
''It is a bad thing for the state
and for our people to have the same
man hold the office of governor
forever. A great many women and
men in the state would make fine
governors. And it is a reflection
upon them and all of our citizens
and is un-Democratic for one man
to occuply continually this high Of
flee.
"This state has not gone ahead
in business way. 1t is unfortun-
ately true that the present admin
istration has not encouraged new
business and new investments in
Arizona. Ellinwood will inspire
new developments and industries.
This means more business and less
taxes. We have to get ahead. FL
linwood can help us more than any
one | know"

SCHOOL TAXES
FOR YEAR WILL
BE S., 500, 900

PHOENIX - Almost $1,500,000
will be raised by direct taxation for
school maintenance purposes in
Arizona for the school year 1926-27
on the face of report given the
state tax commission by c. o. Case,
superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
An increase in attendance for
1926 over the previous year in all
public schools was noted by the
superintendent who reported that
60,757 pupils were enrolled for the
school year closed in May. School
taxes will be reckoned on the basis
of $26.4710 per capita tax.
Of the amount expected to be
raised for school maintenance,
$107,200 will be deducted as the
amount appropriated to the state
school superintendent department
by the legislature, leaving $1,311,
725 to be apportioned among the
schools of the state in four quarter
ly appropriations and raised by di-
rect taxation.
Mr.. Case estimates that 1925 800
will be raised from the sale of
school lands, interest from school
funds loaned and miscellaneous
revenue, making a total amount
available for distribution of 81 ,637,-
225.

Rxl. AMrER.

THE rubber industry is intimately
4 related to the auto industry. Altho
there are numerous rubber products
outside OF tires, none the less the
production of tires dominates the in
dustry. The production of new cars
has determinative effect on rubber,
even tho the use of all cars necessi-
tates plenty of tires.
That auto production determines
tire production may be gathered from
the figures of production. Thus the
production of cars and trucks amount
ed to about 100000 in the first six
months of 1895, or about IA per cent
ahead of the same period Of 1925. In
May the production declined, but
picked up again in June. This de-
cline and revival was reflected in the
production of tires, the situation be-
ing due also in part to the abnormal
climatic conditions. The auto facto-
ries are curtailing production at the
present time, owing. as is reported, to
inventory taking and to the prepara-
ton of new models.
A LOWING for the fact that in
1 n times Of prosperity autos are
bought and are again sold in times of
decline, so that at the present time
many own cars which they will dispose
of when a depression begins, still it
is fact that the auto and truck have
become a national institution. Hence,
with ups and downs, the rubber indus
try does and will keep pace with the
auto industry-or better, with the in
creasing use of cars. The railroads
are beginning to note the competition
of bus lines, and many of them are
installing lines of their own, in recog-
milton of the fact that bus lines and
short hauling by auto trucks are eaten
ing the public favor.
THAT conditions are not what they
\ should be from capitalist point
of view on profits, is to be noted in
the fact that there has been a consid-
cradle reduction in the price Of tires
corresponding with the reduction IN
the prices of cars. Is this due to
over-production-or to the fact that
new cars are being introduced which
will mean a discarding OF the old mod
els? Both may be the reasons. Suf-
fee it to say the automobile manu-
facturers are also complaining about

What Is Comi5g in the Rubber Industry

the amount Of Money is tied up in
instalment buying and about the num-
Der of used carr in the hands of
branches.
THE same may be recorded about
l. the tire industry. On May there
were 9,345,OOO castings in the hands OF
the manufacturers as compared with
6,SO0,00O year ago, and 100000 two
years ago. Overproduction. What is
happening in the rubber industry?
Did the increased production necessi-
tate more workers? 1t did not. The
rubber industry has gone thru revo-
lution-the same revolution as In the
auto industry. Every day tnere Is an
improvement in production, which
means new method of exploiting la
Dor more effectually. New machinery,
greater and more scientific division of
work, efficiency in every motion-and
speed-up. This latter is the secret
whereby the manufacturers have re-
duced the cost of production and have
obtained more work out of the work
ers.
HAVE the workers benefited by the
4 greater production? They have
not. They have given more labor
power-and have received nothing In
return. Less men are being employed,
but the production has increased.
Profits rose in the past year from S5
to 100 per cent, but the workers have
not received one penny more in return
for their work.
On the contrary, the speed-up pro-
cess eliminates many men, who form
an army ever ready to take away the
work of those on the job. The rubber
industry is not a skilled industry.
Practically any department of work
may be learned in a few hours. The
result is that one finds miners, steel
workers and every other category of
worker in the rubber factories.
THE number of young workers and
of women in the rubber factories
lis also very large. No skill being
required, and as the manufacturers are
intent upon making the highest profit
possible, young workers and women
are employed, thus lowering the stand
ard of the industry owing to their ac-
ceptance of lower wages.
The rubber industry is one of the
best fortified industries in the country.
Whereas it is intimately bound up
with the auto industry, together they
are on close financial relations with

the banks of Wall Street. There is
the same relation between all the rub
Der manufacturers as there is be-
tween the steel manufacturers: gem
tleman's agreement as to prices, etc.
Hence, as far as the workers are con
cerned, they face one enemy in the
rubber industry, even tho the different
plants show divergences as regards
modernity of plant, etc. A powerful
organization faces the practically I'M
organized workers.
COME Of the rubber barons, recogniz-
~ ing that the workers are becoming
conscious of this situation have taken
time by the forelock. The workers
feel that they are entitled to a word In
the determination of their conditions.
Good. We will establish an indus
trial democracy" plan, wherein the
workers will sit in consultation with
us, thru their chosen representatives
and we will talk. The workers may
think that they are making decisions,

board occupying that position on the

was one Of the five whose votes pre-
vented the promotion OF DIR. Abraham
Lefkowitz, teacher in the High

that Lefkowdtz is the Legislative rep

ion had criticized these particular
five board members. But, dang 1t
all, this wasn't what we STARTED out
to laugh about. What we thought fun
ny was that one of the members of
the board Of education had happily
been named-Bdward B. Shallow,

but the final word rests not in the as
sembly and senate, where their repre-
sentatiyes, function, but in the hands
of the board Of directors Of the com
pany. The word Of the latter body is
final.
ITO entice the workers still more, the
4 companies have provided tennis
courts, ball grounds, libraries, rest
rooms, etc. Everything they will give
the workers except higher wages.
Everything they may ve-provided
they do not infringe upon any of the
company rules, in case of which they
may be disciplined; they may be

turers substitute for real unionIsm.

hypocrisy. of the situation, and are de.
handing the right of organization.
Proof? The workers are trying to
form a union. Any worker talking
union organization in the shops is re-
ported to the Office by the thousands
of spies in the "fiying squads
mon rats-in the employ of the com
pany. Workers joining the union are
discharged if discovered. They are
followed round the town, spied upon
and reported, The company, therefore
realizes that its plants are fake and
that the workers know it.
A REAL trade union is imperative
"A in the rubber industry. There are
some industries that are of long stand
ing and conditions have only grad
ually been changed. But the rubber,
like the auto industry, is an infant
industry and is growing with the
speed of child. Rapid changes are
made, new processes are adopted-and
all of them mean greater and greater
exploitation of the workers.
A real tfade union is in the making
in Akron and is bound to embrace all
Of the workers. 1t is the only hope
of the rubber workers and the only
safeguard against greater robbery.
The rubber union is bound to come
and will be one of the most powerful
unions in the country, being repre-
sentative Of the workers who are
