ANOTHER STRIKE
This year 1 will not swat the flies, as 1 have soak
ed them in the past; I’ll not as an avenger rise, and
slay a million, first and last. ’Tis true.l may resort
to blows, and kill a few in self defense, when they
alight upon my nose, and cause me agony intense.
But I won’t drop all other chores to chase cheap, be
sotted flies, although the Health Board rips and roars
and says I'm foolish and unwise. For years I’ve plied
•*ny swatting stick, a million billion flies I ve slain; re
sults? their absence makes me sick —-my weary toil
was all in vain. There’ll be more flies this yeai, I
wist, than ever flopped around before; the ones I slew
will not be missed; for each one killed there’ll be a
score. You’ve heard about the ancient gent who
pushed a boulder up a hill; a few feet up the slope
it went, and then slipped back, already still. No
modem man would stand for that; results must come
or people quit; and so no more flies I’ll bat, since bat
ting doesn’t make a hit.

"THE COURTESY OF WHOLESALE PRICES”
The real issue In this municipal campaign is
whether the original Democratic doctrine shall pre
• vail, or whether Nogales shall return to a rule by
special interests, from which is escaped two years
ago by an overwhelming defeat of the Republican
ticket, nominated at that time,
Democratic doctrine is: “Equal rights for all;
special privileges for none.” *'
As has been shown in these columns already the
house of Hoy & Titcomb, with its ally the First Na
tional Bank, dominated the municipal government
of Nogales through many years. When that in
fluence was dominant in municipal affairs the house
of Roy & Titcomb assumed special privileges that
may be seen in bibs they collected from the county
through many years. Anyone is competition with
them got little from the city in the way of business.
The Arizona Gas & Electric Company could get noth
ing.
Two ysars ago the house of Roy & Titcomb
ceased control of the municipality, and others were
given a chance to do business with the municipality
jn their line. The Arizona Gas & Electric Company
was given the street lighting. Now the Herald tries
to make it appear that the Arizona Gas & Electric
' Company is paid exorbitantly. Jt does that by a
• juggling of figures and contrasts of bills That we
gave some attention yesterday stating that the Ari
zona Gas & Electric Company runs 154 electric lights
in the streets, where the Nogales Electric Light &
Power Company ran only about eighty. But we have
op another page in this issue a full analysis of the
figures, which the reader will see goes into a com
plete and thorough presentation, showing that had
t he Nogales Electric Light & Power Company given
' THE DAILY MORNING OASIS
the service the Arizona Gas & Electric Company is
giving, their bills would have been four times as
large as they were, and more than twice as large' as
are the bills of the other company now. The statement
shows that where the Nogales Electric Light &
Power Company was paid SO,OBB per candle power,
the Arizona Gas & Electric Company is paid, now
but $0,019 per candle power. Just one-half the rate
paid the*old company which had a monopoly of street
lighting in Nogales for about twenty years.
Under the present administration the house of
Roy & Titcomb is not shut out from doing business
with the municipality. Many orders are given them,
and Clerk Cole will show anyone inquiring a large
number of demands paid Roy & Titcomb by this ad
ministration. That would seem “a square deal,” such
as the Herald calls for.
Then the Herald presented in its Friday’s issue
an interview with Mr. Titcomb, in which he admitted
that his house had done business with the city, but
had given always “the courtesy of wholesale prices.”
Just read the- reproduction of the demand of Roy &
Titcomb in December, 19- 6, with the prices charged
for renewal o! cUotric lights lamps then, with
prices of others, and ask how much the bill paid Roy
& Titcomb at that time was “the courtesy of whole
sale prices.”
o
FROM FRYING PAN TO FIRE
A story goes that once upon a time a live fish was
placed in a frying pan. In its agony it gave one
mighty flop and landed in the hotter coals of the fire.
We fear the story of the fable is being enacted
in real life today.
There is a growing unrest among young men on
the farms—an unrest which constitutes a distinct
peril to the nation.
Stories of abnormally high wages paid for even
unskilled labor in the cities have fired the farm hand
with that greatest of all American curses—a desire
to get rich quick.
In imagination he sees the money rolling in, but
there his imagination stops. He 1 never thinks of it
pouring out again.
And in the big cities, despite the high wages paid,
there is quite as much pouring as rolling.
Just why bright eyed, keen minded and energetic
young men of the country should prefer the
exasperating perplexities of the city to;the peaceful
certainties of the country is difficult to conceive.
From infancy they have been trained in the hard
headed school of experience which has enabled their
fathers to achieve success in an era when the hand
of fate was against every farmer—when there was
no adequate recompense for their labors—when the
star of hope was obscured by the low prices of their
product.
* Yet all of this splendid training seems to be with
out avail. They want to leave the farms.
Fathers have pleaded. Mothers and sisters and
sweethearts have shed bitter tears. But the unrest
is there —it will not sleep.
True, the city newspapers are filled with en
ticingly worded advertisements calling for help, but
when sifted down they are more often found to be
jobs that the city man does not want. The farmer
lad is asked to come in and take the crumbs that
remain.
It is an unfortunate condition which faces the
the country, and one which must be met.
If the deplorable depopulation of the farms con
tinues there can be but one result. The farmer will
live in peace and plenty, because he can always raise
sufficient for the needs of himself and his family.
But everywhere the cities will cry for food when
there is no food to be had. And the young man who
leaves the farm will be among those who experience
the joys of a gay life and an empty stomach.
The greatest crown of glory of the world war
was placed by Marshal Foch upon the brow of a farm
er boy from the mountains of Tennessee. He is the
hero of heroes of the war of all wars.
The farm boy of today has an opportunity of
performing for his country an even greater service
than that which made Alvin YcVke’s name known
wherever pivjlization exists.
By remaining upon the farm, where life is clean
and opportunities are never lacking, he can aid in
saving millions of helpless women and children from
the pangs of hunger and the depths of despair.
For without the products of the farm even life
itself can not be sustained.
-* o
A SELFISH POLICY
Union labor has struggled for many years to re
duce the hours of work and has even preached the
lessening of the output per hour, on the mistaken
theory that there was only a certain amount of work
to be done in the world and the less one did the more
men would be needed. And yet these very men who,
having reduced their hours of labor to eight per day,
and who are fighting for still further reductions, pro
test unceasingly against the cost of foodstuffs. If
the farmers and the farm laborers of the country
followed the teachings of union labor for two or
three years thej-e wpuicl be a food famine which would
shake the world.—Topeka State Journal.
What this country needs more than anything else
at present time is increased production per man po
wer and an abundant supply of farm labor.
. o
Even one lone man can do much for the com
munity in which he lives, but when all men pull to
gether there is no end to the possibilities.
o
The wise man takes a htint in time. The fool
regrets when too late.
o
Yes, we may live for years without knowing the
true hearts of our neighbors, but their families and
their dogs and their cats do.
