DEMOCRATIC TICKET:
Ballots Printed In Pima County

This editorial is directed at the next board Of SUI
pervsors of Santa Cruz County, be it either Demo
cratic or Republican
The next time that contract is awarded for the
printing of election ballots and the board taking Of
flee on the first Of the year will let that contract early
in February 1884 for the 1884 fall electios) award
that contract to Nogales printing concern.
In this county, and located in Nogales, two print
shops, perhaps three, can handle ballots.
Boards Of supervisors, Democratic and Republi-
can have sort Of formed habit of having Santa Cruz
ballots printed in Tucson There is nothing fair about
that Money spent for ballots used locally should be
spent locally.
The international checked up yesterday to find
out where ballots for other counties are printed.
Here's the story:
Mohave county ballots are printed in King
raan county seat of Mohave county
Coconino county ballots printed in Co.
conino county.
Navajo county ballots at Holbrook in Nava-
jo county.
Maricopa county ballots in Maricopa county.
ella county ballots at Globe, in Gila county.
Yavapai county ballots in Prescott, Yavapal
county.
Apache county ballots at St. Johns, Apache
county.
Yuma county ballots in Yuma.
Pima county ballots in Pima county.
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BALLOTS IN PI-
MA COUNTY.
Why should any Santa Cruz County printing be
sent away to Pima County when it can be done at
home? At least TWO Nogales shops can handle any
thing in the printing line from cards to books.
County officials should do like they do In other
counties. BUY AT HOME!

publishing the names of Santa Cruz county officials
buying printing from Tucson printers, with county

America is undergoing a social read
justment, with changes as profound
and fundamental as in any period in
the history of the Republic.
The average American, waiting fever
ishly hitherto for a climax, has just
begun to realize that the process of
change in the United States has been
under way for some time and that
American adaptation to change will be
gradual rather than sudden.
Reflections such as these impressed
themselves on this correspondent dur
ing a two-week journey through several
states, visiting agricultural, as well as
industrial, localities. Talks with bust
ness men, professional men, leaders OF
civic thought, industrial executives,
left these common denominators:
First, the theory that prosperity
is "just around the corner" has been
dissipated, and there is readiness to
accept the readjustment as something
likely to consume three to five years,
with the acute stages probably passing
in 1882.

Opponents of the import taxes had
renewed their assault at today's ses-

tariff revision, involving months Of
work, if the oil, coal, copper and lum-

Tariff proponents, Democrats and
Republicans, accepted the def and

Wheeler. in brief statement ex-
planning the resolution he was intro

Senators Told S23,500, 900
Was Paid for $1,750,000
investment.

Walter E. Sachs, president Of the
Goldman Sachs Trading Corporation,
detailed to the Senate Banking Com
mittee today the payment of $23 $500, ,oOO
in purchase of the General Foods Co,
which had an investment of $1,750, 900
Testifying in the stock market in
quiry, he said that in 1929 his firm paid
more than $12,000,00o and the Postum
Co. more than 100000 because the
General Foods Co. owned valuable
patents for freezing perishable foods.
Previously Goldman Sachs had PAID
$1,750,0O0 for 10000 shares in the
Postum Co., Sachs said under ques-
tioning by william A. Gray, counsel ior
the inquiry.
Details Deal.
GRAY went through a complicated de-
scrfption of the deal under which the
Postum company, though 1t paid less,
got 81 per cent of the stock in the ac-
quired company and Goldman-Sachs
got 40 per cent.
Sachs agreed that dividend prefer
ences also we're given to Postum and
the $50, 900 shares bought by Goldman
Sachs were excluded from the pref
erences.
The Postum stock was sold by Gold
man-Sachs at a loss Of $230,000, Gray
said, and the remainder Of this stock
was written off at 81 in 1880.
Sachs said it was written off in the
interests of conservatism, though it had
potential value.

in the rioting. Most of today's cas-
