Sheriff's Office Saves
County This Amount

Here's something for voters to re-
member when the Republican can
didate for sheriff seeks their sup
port this year:
During the six months period from
January 1 to June 80, this year, the
sheriff's office, controlled by Dem
ocrat-Victor ]. Wager-receivad
from the United States Government,
$19 4OO90 for the board and main
tenance and handling of federal
prisoners and by practicing strict
economy the sheriff's office has
kept the total expenditures, which
consist of meals, rent, guards, and
incidentals, down to $9,879.07. This
amount subtracted from the total
sum received amounts to SO 521.83
which sum has been turned in to
the county treasury and placed In
the general fund of the county.
"This record, it was stated yes
terday by Sheriff Wager, has new
er been equaled in Santa Cruz
County in either the number of pris-
oners handled during similar per-
iod or the amount of money saved
the county"
For the past six months an aver
age of 113 federal prisoners per day
has been housed and fed by the
county. Total number of Chinese
handled through the sheriff's Of

why the sheriff's office should be
turned over to the present chair

address immensely.
Akers declared that he does not
believe the saloon will ever return
to the United States but that he
thinks the prohibition question can
and will be settled.
He thinks it will take at least two
years before the prohibition law can
be repealed. In the meantime, he de-
clared, the Volstead act, enforcing
clause of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, should be modified. Modifi-
cation, he said, would restore $780,
100000 in revenue to the govern

he be defeated at the primary

CHARGES AS
RIDICULOUS

Recent charges brought against
State Superintendent of Banks S.
w. Ellery are absurd and ridiculous,
according to the following letter
sent Gov. Hunt by Mr. Ellery:
State Banking Department,
State House,
Phoenix, Arizona,
July 18, 1892
MY dear Governor Hunt:
Recently, as you know, mis-
deneanor complaint was filed a.
gainst me as State Superintendent
of Banks by Mr.. Lloyd J. Andrews,
County Attorney of Maricopa Coun-
ty. am sure that you understand
the utter absurdity and ridiculous
ness of the charges. They have not
even a technical foundation Of fact.
''I have requested a speedy hear
ing in proper court of law. I hope
that this will be had and that the
entire matter will be definitely
cleared up in the near future. I am
confident of complete exoneration
Of the charges before any impartial
Judge or jury.
"Ihese trivial and trumped-up
charges were brought purely for
political motives. They were held in
the office of the County Attorney
CT Maricopa County for many days
before being served upon me. be-
lieve they would never have been
served at all had certain political
promises been forthcoming. The
whole thing is, in my opinion,
contemplate effort to embarrass
your administration. The use of such
tactics in the present critical times
is abominable
when the County Attorney OF
Maricopa County appointed an agent
to investigate the affairs of the clos
ed Arizona Bank, advised him that
all the records of the bank were at
his disposal. welcomed his cooper
alton. His agent was given free ac-
cess to all the records and papers.
I had nothing to conceal.
when I took charge OF the
Banking Department of the State OF
Arizona on November l, 1881, and
had time to review the situation, I
realized the inadequacy of our laws
governing banks and building and
loan associations. I saw the wisdom
of your recommendations to the last
session of the State Legislature,
that our statutes governing banks
and building and loan associations
be revised and strengthened, in Or
der to give greater protection to de-
positors and the general public. Our
banking laws are insufficient and
our laws relating to building ana
Loan associations are terribly made
Quate.
Frankly, T do not believe that
even adequate laws will protect the
people until the State of Arizona
has public prosecutors who are

from Peshawar, India March y which shows
that Great Britain is in no position to make

"The government (British) sent airpianes
across the border today to drop leaflets among

that II their forces had not been dispersed by
tomorrow, and leading agitators removed,
bombs would lie dropped on their villages"
Now that exactly parallels Japan's actions at

say the Afghans are ''restive" "a terrible Of

Admiral Shiowaza about the Chinese at Shang-

bombs on men, women and children Is the next
thing.
Yet there are so-called "pacifists" who expect
these imperialist cut-throats, either severally or
collectively, to make peace"l The only way
peace will be won is by the masses of workers
and farmers overthrowing these war makers
and to do that requires civil war-and that's
that, whether you like 1t or not.

Financial Technique"

Alfred Sloan of the General Motors says that
what's the matter is that there has been q
failure of financial technique to keep pace with
machine technique"
The same day we read that, we noticed that
the British pound We ~ t--enty cents, be-
cause, SO It's said, Wall Street was "combling in
sterling. The financial technique" of that was
that the American dollar went down just as the
British pound rose. So there's nothing to crow
over as a Sign of returning prosperity. Indeed,
those very patriotic" financial "technicians" of
Wall Street we're selling short" in the American
dollar
The American dollar has a great future-be-
hind it. Did you notice? And do you remember
back few months ago, when all the press
played up Hoover's plan to restore PROSPERITY"
by asking the bankers to form pool" with
$500,0000OO? The bankers agreed and amid a
grand beating of tom-toms formed the pool"
that was going to do wonders
What's become of it? Oh, it just quietly went
out of existence when the newer Hoover plan
to "restore prosperity" was adopted by Congress,
the plan to give Dawes something over So 900 600
600 to play with in the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, TO relieve the suffering bankers.
The wonderful cooperation of the Democrats
with the Republicans on that measure is some
thing for workers to remember. And along with
that, their withdrawing" drive True, there has
been SO much slosh about ''baby Indy that it
has interefered with selling the "baby bonds.
but we have new proof that Hoover is liar, on
this as well as other things
The withdrawing drive was begun by Hoo
yer on February 4. On February 16. Hoover sa::ii:
'"There has been an entire turn in the tide" Yet
the cold facts are, according to his own Trea-
sury Department report, that there was de-
crease Of $37,l89,973 in circulation during this
same month Of February when Hoover was see
ing "an entire turn in the tide.
BY the way on February 20, there was sup
posed to be enough money in circulation to al
low for every man, woman and child to have
s4493. Did you, and your wife and your kids each
have that much? No? We thought So Well, that's
your lack of financial technique" And the
remedy for it is to not accept wage cuts, but
strike for higher wages under lead of the Trade
Union Unity Leagues revolutionary unions.

When the workers of Paris oVerthew

own government-the Communion
March 10, 1871, they unfolded new
page In the history of the toiling
masses, Negro and white alike.
1t was no accident that the Paris
workers proudly pointed to their Red
Flag as the emblem of the universal
republic" in which all toilers, regard
less Of race or color, could claim
citizenship. They looked upon their
revolution, not merely as one of local
or national significance, but rather as
a starting point for future working
class revolutions to follow throughout
the world, which would eventually
free all oppressed peoples from their
oppresSors.
The ConInunsrdsI recognized the
fundamental antagonisms existing be-
between the exploited class and the
class which did the exploiting. They
envisaged a brotherhood Of all men
within a worldwide workers repub-
lie; they we're not -washy
dreamers, however, but practical re-
volutionists, and they knew that their
object could not be realized until the
working class would overthrow the
yoke of oppression and make them
selves their own masters.

handling down this notorious bred
Scott decision had declared that Neg
roes were regarded "as beings of an
inferior order, and altogether unfit

and SO far inferior that they had no

The place of the Negro in American

materially changed from that in 1871,
except that a greater proportion of
the race have turned from agricult-
ural slavery to industrial slavery. The
American Negro worker, beside suf-

the comon burden of the entire work
ing-class, is subjected to numerous
kinds of special persecution and ter
ror.
In sharp contrast to the unbear-
able position of the Negro in America
stands the Soviet Union, where the
workers rule, which offers refuge to
all oppressed peoples. There the
Negro, along with all national and
racial minorities finds real equality,

The Negro and the Paris Commune

courageously to carry out its pioneer
projects, the Negro masses in America
were undergoing a terrible ordeal, af-
fording sharp contrast to the crisis
of the Commune. The civil war
which had promised them freedom
and equality" was seven years behind
them, and instead of this promise be-
ing fulfilled, the Negro now found
himself on the threshold of bitter dis
nluSionment. Instead of being liber-
ated from slavery, as they had SO
fondly hoped, the Negro masses were
finding themselves reduced to forms
Of peonage which were in many res
poets worse than the yoke of slavery.
They are finding that without eco
nomic freedom, liberty" was a mean
ingless term, that without complete
social equality, such as the Paris Com
mune offered, the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments which sup
posedly granted them full political
rights (they have never received even
these) were but hollow mockerieS
thrown in their faces by a cynical
master class.
When they came to ask for justice
they found Judge Lynch" dealing it
out; between 1866 and 1879 more than
5000 Negroes were murdered for the
crime of having darker skins than
their fellows.
They found that instead of the
promises which had been made to
them by Northern demagogues, their
position had much the same as it was
