OLD TIME WESTERN TOWN BE-.
COMES MODERN CITY

EDITORS NOTE: The follow
ing article appeared in the April
issue of Western City magazine,
. publication devoted to the
growth and development of cities
in the West. It contained sew
eral photographs showing the
old and new Nogales and is at
tracing considerable attention. }
Will Rogers several years ago
made the statement that Nogales
was the only western town left
in the United States" This. of
course, had reference to the
fact that. the open range and real
cowboys still exist In this section
of Arizona. However, the west
ern cowboy when be leaves his
range also leaves his horse be.
hind and drives into town.
Therefore. even though NoRales
remains western, is is als0
modern.
In the year 1927, the municipal
administration headed by Mayor
Harry J. Karns, decided that
many improvements were needed
in the city.
The city, at an altitude OF 1000
feet and located in the Nogales
canyon. with hills on both sides,
first bad to take care of its drain
age situation. This was handled
by the installation Of complete
drainage system and by install
ing inverted pavementin in several
of the less used thoroughfares.
THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION
Also, prior to the paving, the
water and gas systems were en-
tirely renovated, % was the
sewage system. Following this.
the paving started and with three
small districts on which work
was started. Nogales can now
boast Of having practically every
street in the entire city paved,
Ewhereas 10 1927 none had been
Lpaved. In the business sections
the suspended lighting system
was rejected in favor of orna'
metal lamp posts. After this q
modern three section sewage
disposal plant was installed and
then an additional pumping uni,
was added to the already quite
complete water system.
This city, peculiarly located
with Nogales, Sonora. Mexico,
lust across the street," was
confronted with the problem oi
paving Of the 60-foot neutral
zone which is the property oi
the Federal Government. This
matter was taken up with the
congressman at Washington and
she Federal Government Appro
priated $4,000 for this work,
which included drainage struc
lures, paving, . beautiful orna
mental fence. two magnificent
ga tes and also two small inspec'
ton stations of Spanish archi
lecture.
LARGEST PORT OF ENTRY,
Nogales being the largest port
of entry on the entire Mexican
border, is going to grow and
within q few years will possibly
have to add to its water. sewage
and lighting systems.
An excellent start has been
made with the various municipal
utilities xnd conveniences upon
= substantial foundation and

Simplified practice in saving
American industries $3.50, ,O00, 900,
with the gains increasing as new
fields take up the plan, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce julius
Klein declared last night in a
radio address.
Speaking over the network Of
the Columbia Broadcasttng Sys-
TEN, the Government economist
disclosed that 100 industries have
taken up simplified practice
agreements to date, and that 18
others are in the process of
reaching such agreements. He
said:
variety may be the spice Of
life but variety can also be the
curse of business. The $780,.
OOO,OO0 direct savings each year
is sheer gain for all of us. 1t
doesn't mean reducing us all to
robots. 1t is simply a rational,
appealing, carefully devised
plan to save money and pro
mote good business"
Attributing the idea to Presi-
dent Hoover, during his regime as
Secretary of Commerce, DR.. Klein
said as an illustration that orig
inally there were 78 sizes and

Business Sentiment Here
Analysed in Surrey

Observers of business in Wash
ington are finding little basis for
altering opinions, that sure signs
of improvement will be deferred
to the last few months of 1881.
Trend of sentiment in the Capital
has been relatively stable in this
regard. as compared with the
vacillating hopes and fears Of the
remainder of the country, says
the Standard Statistics Com
pany of New York, in a cur
rent survey of business prospects
here, adding:
although the recent meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce
Of the United States indicated a
consensus of business leaders
favorable to some sort of eco
nOmic stabilizatiOn, the govern
ment has absolutely no specific
plans for establishing q super
economic council to direct trade
movements during the recovery
period.
"Such activity at present is
confined to putting moral pres
sure ON many industries to
continue operations at as stable
a rate as possible and to
maintain wage scales. In this
connection, une m lOyme ent
schemes probably will be voted
by a few State Legislatures next
winter.
Despite the revival of the
subject of world debts at the
recent conference, the attitude
Of the American government is
that the time is not prOpitiOus
for discussing readjustment Of

/. ANOTHER NEW
j. LOW At 96
DlScouraging Auto Industry
Surveys Cause Auburn and
Other Motor Stocks Drop
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, May rs d.NsO.
There was little change today
either in the direction or the
pace Of the movement Of stock
prices on the big board.
In the absence of buying de-
mand from either speculative or
investment sources, the whole list
fell off into a lower level of
prices, with the market almost
at standstill for considerable
periods.
Trading Is Light
Only 100000 shares were
turned over in the forenoon,
which was the smallest rate at
which the big board has oper-
ated since the turn of the year.
The bears appeared to have the
upper hand, and among the blue
chip stocks falling to the years
lowest prices were United States
Steel and American Telephone
and Telegraph.
United States Steel quite early
IN the day descended the price
scale to new low at 96, down
2a points from Saturdays close.
Vanadium. Bethlehem. Crucible
and other steel shares followed
the same course, Vanadium losing
S12 points at 80.
DiScouraging surveys of the au-
tomobile industry, which showed
a downward revision in the May
and June prospective output of
cars at the chief manufacturing
centers, were responsible for the
drop in Auburn, General Motors
and other motor stocks.
Rail Stocks Dull
Though the rails started the
new week at lower price levels,
with losses OF l to 212 points,
trading in that section of the
market was unusually small, and
confined as rule to the best
grade dividend payers.
A loss of dollar a bale in cot
ton Ind a further reaction in
grain prices, combined with the
steady drop in the price indexes"
of wholesale commodities, was not
very encouraging from the bulliSh
standpoint.
Bonds made little progress, the
market as whole being inactive
and irregular.

demonstrated that Europe Is
unable to pay.
"While the reduction Of the
New York rediscount rate Is
expected to drive capital slowly
from short 20 long term invest
ments and so help bonds,
complaints reach Washington
that interior rates still are rcla-
lively high and that AccOmmO-
dation is difficult to obtain
from the banks.
Indications point to q world
wide reaction toward bi-
metaIlism, although the avOwed
purpose of a prospective silver
conference Of the International
Chamber of Commerce is to
minimize silver price fluctua-
tiOns. An early international
silver loan to China is inn
probable"

AVERAGE STOCK
YIELDS HIGHER
THAN BOND
High Grade Industrial Issue
Spread Now 1.20 Per Cent
Between Two Securities
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 25.-The in.
ability of the stock market to hold
its ground in Saturdays dull ses-
sion places it once more in a some
what critical position.
The Standard Statistics index Of
80 composite stocks stands but
one-half point above the weeks
low mark. The industrials are
exactly at their low, while, strang.
est of all, it Is the rail index which
has the widest margin above the
low point of the decline.
Yield Now FavOrs Stocks
Stock market circles point out
that there is an old truism that
STOCKS are purchase when their
yield is considerably higher than
the return on bonds.
At the high point Of the market
in September, 1929, the yield on
an important group of stocks was
S.15 per cent, whereas the bond
yield at the same time was Sill
per cent. This spread of nearly
z per cent in favor of bonds fur
nished the cue for a severe drop
IN common stocks.
Today a different situation is
being witnessed. The average
yield on industrial stocks is about
6.43 per cent, whereas the average
return on high grade industrial
bonds is 5.23 per cent, a spread
of about 1.20 per cent in favor
Of stocks.
Copper is now down to a price
where few companies can produce
metal at a profit.
Lowest Cost rs Cents
The most recent figures avail
able indicate costs of around
1853 cents a pound for Anaconda,
91a cents for Andes, 1919 cents
for Calumet and Arizona, 9.91
cents for Calumet and Hecla,
7.065 cents for CRANKY, 9.6671 for
Inspiration. 712 for Kennecott,
9.87 for Magma, 11.247 for Miami,
and 8.88 for Nevada.
Most copper companies recently
have been reported operating at
considerably under SO per cent
of capacity. 1t is altogether
likely continued weakness in price
will cause shutdown of an in
creasing number of high-cost pro-
ducerS.

The disregard of a foreman for
the elementary rules Of safety was
responsible for the horrible death Of
young worker on the Phoenix
Utility Co. job laying IA inch gas
pipe lines south of Blossberg, Penn
Sylvania, on the United States High
way III, pipe worker informed the
Daily Worker.
The -young worker was ordered into
the ditch over which IA inch pipe
was suspended with frayed ropes.
Hardly had he gotten down when
the rope snapped and the huge pipe
crashed down. breaking his skull and
all bones in his body. He was rushed
to the hospital and died within an
hour.
The pipe workers receive 80 cents
an hour and are forced to work 10
hours daily and often Is hours with
overtime paid for at straight time
rates. Sunday work is forced on the
workers.
Fifty workers quit Immediately
after the death of the young worker,
lacking leadership that would organ
lie them for struggle to enforce all
safety measures.
