INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS
BY THE STATE.
Ono of the proposed amendments to
tho state constitution and which was
ordered submitted to the voters at
1tIio coming election by tho legislature
.Is the one offered by Senator Worj'ey,
or Pima County, granting to the stale
and the municipalities of the state the
right to engage In any Industrial8 pur
suit. This measure Is about all that
'the mest rabid socialist could desire
as a complete endorsement of the In
i, alstence of his party that it would oe
better to have the government own
all the Industries and all the producing
machinery in the country, so that
all the profits coming from the re
sources of the land and from labor
ould be divided among tho people. A
.fine theory. Indeed, but would it work?
', It must be kept in mind that he
foro the state or any municipality
could engage in any Industrial pursuit
the people would necessarily have to
be taxed for the required capital and
after the capital was thus taken from
the people and they forced into such
state business enterprises as might
bo thought advisable by the state of
ficials or industrial board that might
be provided, they would be compelled
to rely on a political machine for bus
iness management. It will be claimed
that present day reforms will com
pletely do away with political favorlt
ism. but that is only a dream. All
would welcome the complete abolition
of political favoritism in.eovernmont,
but the fact remains that wherever
there Is government, big or little .this
favoritism may be discovered, if
looked for.
So, with every change In the state
or municipal administration, which In
this state is provded for every two
years, there i would be a change in the
business management In the industrial
enterprises, the state saw mills, shoe
.factories and the mines owned by the
state.
SS
Does anyone believe the prospects
would bo nattering lor prows in sucn
i .. ... . . ....
state-owned industrial enterprises, or
that tho taxpayers who would be the
stockholders would have an even
chance when thus brought into compe
tition with the shrewd business men
always found in successful enterprises
owned and directed by private capital?
Tho Iteview does not, regardless of
tho opinion ot others.
, Are Unpeople of Arizona willing
to make It possible for the state to
tj
'undertake -to carry on any and every
-
industrlal occupation which might be
conceived by some vote-seeking poli
tician with oratorical ability to paint
a Colonel Sellers "Millions In It"
pcturo with such skill as to convince
the majority ot the voters that his
proposition would mean the everlast
fjng endjos of taxation? To our mind
such a course would be 'disastrous to'
jfhud '" '
With the state engaged In Industrial
pursuits, tbo convict later of the state
could be brought 1 nto competition
with every honest laborer who follows
a trade or occupation which might be
Included In -the stato's industrial de-
partmenL We do not bellcvo the peo
ple of Arizona desires anything ot tho
kind.
We all remember the days long gone
and nearly forgotten when the farm
ers organization, known as the
Grangers, swept over tho country and
was regarded by many as the salva
tion of all who followed the plow of
worked In tho hayfleld; the farmers
wer to bo relieved of ever paying
any profit again to anyone but them
selves. Co-operative stores, co-opera-Uve
mills and other co-operative en
terprises were undertaken In many
parts of tba country. Tho manage
ment of theso enterprises were di
rected and controlled by the "entire
neighborhood" from which the origi
nal capital was drawn. Such enter
prises were short-lived and in many
-cases Instead of the farmers receiv
ing any benefits the nlze of the farm
mortgage was increased as a result
of the Investment In these home
owned Industrial enterprises. Still the
management of the old-(lme Grander
co-operatUe enterprises was better
than might be reasonably exrected
from a state-owned industrial enter
prise with a political machine at the
helm.
Arizona's constitution already pro
vides for municipalities owning the
public utilities upon which the public
must depcnl for service, such as water
pystems, street railways and lighting
plants and further than this we should
say it will be dangerous to go in this
direction.
PREPARING FOR
PANAMA.
Is the United States going to hand
over to England, France, Japan, Ger
many and the' rest of Its maritime
rhals the ;reat trade advantages
which will come to the world from
the opening of the short-cut between
the two big oceans by way of Pan
amas, asks the Globe Democrat, and
continuing that paper says:
"The present prospect is that the
country which is building the canal,
and which is .paying out something
like $400,000,000 of good money there
by, will bo the smallest gainer by It
among the leading commercial coun
tries. Wo hear something about pro
tests from gom of the European na
tions because we may let onr coast
ing vessels go through that waterway
without payment of the tolls which
j8"5 to D exacted from all other craft.
a. martAQn iri fimi rm i tm rv
American and foreign, but it Is no
ticed that practically all of the prep
aration which is being made for the
utilization of the canal, when it comes,
is being made in Europe and in Japan.
Most of the shipyards of England,
France, Germany, Holland, Japan and
the rest of the commercial countries
of the Old World are busy with con
struction work incited by the ap
proaching opening ot the canal, while
scarcely a jrase of anything of the
sort Is noticed in tho United States.
Report from time to time has said
that linesof steambcfits arc to be
started between our Atlantic ports and
the Pacific, by way of the canal, but
most of these, when run down, prove
to be apocryphal They represent
what ought to be, and not what Is.
Some expansion in our shipping is" cer
tain, to result from, the openiSS yt
theicanat, but !t Is likely to- bs 'small
m proportion to that of any of our
prominent rivals. The talk about the
commercial advantages of the canal Is1
much wore widely extended and Intel
ligent in the chambers of commerce

of the principal European countries
than it is among the corresponding
bodies In the United States.
And yet tho opening day for the
canal Is only about twelve months
away, according to the estimate of
Colonel Goe'hcla, the man who is in
charge of the construction work. Ho
figures that the canal will be ready
'or use by October of next year. That
date arouses more Interest apparently
among European and Asiatic shippers
than it does among those of the coun
try which is building the canal. Thcro
must bo something wrong about these
stories which wo 6ee In European
newspapers and hear from European
visitors about tho "Yankees" kceucss
In trade." If there be any such qual
ity In tho Panama case It is not vis
ible to the naked eye In this side of
the Atlantic.
THE MONEY TfJUST
AND "CO-OPERATION."
After declaring that "Industrial
trusts feed the money trust," Collier's
for SepL 28, in a brilliant editorial,
says:
'No other economic problem In
America is so Important as tho con
trol which n few financiers exercise
over capital. The control of capital Is
to business what tho control of tho
water supply la to life. The greatest
economic menace today Is tho control
over our quick capital, by which all
big business Is subject to the will ot
a few men. Nothing has contributed so
much to the growth of that financial
power of the few as tbc advent of the
industrial trust By converting a large
part ot the capital of the country Into
negotiable bonds and stocks which
are listed on the New York and other
Stock Exchanges, a few men are ac
quiring a strength which is almost
world-compelling. The
change came with the creation of the
Industrial trusts and the great consol
idation of railroads. Today no really
large enterprise can be undertaken j
without the consent of a few men j
whose offices are In or near Wall
Street, and the price of theconsent
is usually such as to further enhance
the power of our money kings. This
great danger, which new party Readers
generally Ignore, Governor Wilson ap
preciates. Long ago ho said:
" The great monopoly in this coun
try is the money monopoly. So long
as that exists, our old variety and
freedom and Individual energy of de
velopment are out of the question. A
great Industrial nation Is controlled
by Its system of ciwllts. Our system
of credit Is concentrated. The growth
of the action,, therefore, and all our
activities, are In thtlhands of. a fe.tr
mn, who, even If their action be hon
est and intended for the public inter
est, are necessarily concentrated upon
the, groat .undertakings In which their
owb monpy U Involved, and who nee

tntlons, chill and check and destroy
economic freedom. This is the greatest
question of nil.' ,,
"These financiers and their depend
ents grow stronger not only through
tho unconscionably largo promoters'
fees and underwriting commissions,
but also through that other and dally
tribute paid on Stock Exchange trans
actions. The legalizing of our large
trusts, as proposed by the New party,
would Immeasurably increase that tri
bute. The effect of licensing
monopoly would be to accolerate great
ly the movement toward monopoly
and Incidentally,- the absorption of pri
vate business Into huge corporations."

A letter In the Phoenix Gazette
complains that the results of the re
cent primary election in -this stete
are no better than might have been
expected from tho old-timo conven
tion plan, the writer expressing dis
gust at the failure of the democrat
ic committee in "going the whole
hog" in Its endorsement ot tho pres
ent state administration. We are
Inclined to agree with this disap
pointed gentleman, so far as the pri
mary being an improved method of
securing a full expression of voters
is concerned. Tho old conventions
fell Into disrepute because the masses
allowed a few politicians to run
them and at the recent primary les
than ten per cent of the total vote
was polled. UUeSs the pcopls will
participate In the primary elections
they will be controlled by the poli
tician Just as were the old conven
tions. The Hylcw hope to see success
crown the efforts of thoso whji will

EDITORIAL COMMENT
AN ABSURD CHARGE.
The ut'er absurdity of the repub
lican's claim this morning that the
democratic party council, yesterday.
In promulgating a platform, refused
jo endorse the slate administration,
is shown by a glance at that docu
ment, which is iwuUr.liol in full in
yesterday'" Democrat,
The platform endorse-" e-,cry state
otBcial from governor down, and this
endorsenvnt was given freely and
without wrangline, as the Itepubllca'i
InHmates
The only difference between the
adoption of the democratic platform
ind the republican system of opera
tion Is thst Instead of having a plat
form prepard In advance a6 the re
publicans did and running it through
by steam roller methods, the demo
crats went into the conference ye--terilay
wltho-it anythm? hiving been
prepared In advance There was full
and free dlscusIon of even- snbjeit
to he touched uff.n in the platform,
and naturally there waa some differ-'
enre of opinion as to tbe wording ot
tho various planks. Howevnr, there
was no 111 feeling engendered, and
whenever a plank was adopted It was
dono by the unanimous vote of all
present.

NOT ALL GOSSIP IS BAD
A society for the elimination of
gossip is being formed in Dayton.
O., it is said.
Wouldn't it have been better to
define the kind of gobslp that should
be eliminated and Insert the adject
ive "malicious?"
It's only malicious gossip that works
harm. Mere gossip seldom is harm
ful. It is rather pleasureable, and it
spreads news of interesting neighbor
hood happenings that otherwiso
wouldn't go abroad. It gives one sub
jects to think about and to discuss. A
good gossip, of a kindly turn, makes
everybody feel good, and none of us
want that sort ot thing eliminated.
Dut unfortunately, the malicious cl
ement is nearly always Introduced by
some mischlefmaker who can never
place a kindly construction upon
anything, and who would rather stir
up a sensation than eat a good meal.
Every neighborhood is aftllcicd by a
prying Individual of this class. She
Is continually pointing the finger of
suspicion, and no matter what takes
placc-v or what doesn't take place-, or
what she Imagines should or did hap
pen, her tengne wags with insinua
tions until all who heara're Impreg
nated with the idea that something
Is wrong:
have been successful by this time.
The evidence Is said also td prove
that no American money has financed
ta Orozco rebellion, and to tend to
ertablls'h the claim that the Madero
molution was financed from this
country.
What If both these assertions are
true? Is the United States, therefore,
to Intervene In Mexico? Intervention
way be or become necessary, but
better reaso" than these must bo put
forward to Justify it to the world. The
United States cannot favor all leaders
of rebellions and ought not to favor
any.
A much more Important argument
is contained In the assertion, said to
have been made by an ex-senator In
Washington, that "ghastly atrocities
against Americans are a matter cf

WM. ROBINSON " " "
Small towns are specially afflicted
with tho malicious gosslper. Just
tho other days I had a letter from
young woman who lives In such n
place, asking how sho might over
come a tale that bad been spread
concerning her.
I was suddenly called out ot
town," she wrote. "Instead of taking
the train, which would have made me
wait a couple ot hours, I hired an
auto from the garage to take me to
the place I was to go. The driver was
a young married man of our town.
He returned for me that night and
drove me back home. The rumor was
started that I was out Joy-rldlng with
him, and now everybody looks at ma
as If I had committed a crime. I think
It is dreadful."
It Is from Just such innocent be
ginnings that false tales are manu
factured and many a person's good
name blackened.
Jt's claimed that people are better,
on the average, in small towns, be
cause they are so closely watched,
while In the city, feeling themselves
freed from espionage, they let them
selves loose.
There is possibly something to this,
but Isn't It a tact that more reputa
tions are ruined without good cause.
In the small town than In the city,
simply because certain sensation-hungry
women work off their energy to
