Everybody and his aunt are hoarding silver and study ing the Spanish language. Congress will soon find it appropriate to remonetize the white metal and promptly reduce the price down to a parity with gold. The metal we have melted down and for warded to India and China will never come back. Any democrat who wants to become a corporation ma chine republican and who wants to ally himself with the Bisbee Coppei L oyalty league can be accommodated bv an nexing themselves to Heard’s and Fishers Americanization League, one of the snidest, cheapest “ republican trick schemes” that has ever in vaded Arizona for years. — Dunbar’s Weekly. Gov. fno i T . Calking of the S. F. federal reserve bank, in commenting on sub scribed to savings certificates, says: “It is the people who must pay for the war in 011 c wav or another.” Yes, and it i.-, more than probable that 90 per cent of those contributors are specially favored business representatives who have the peculiar faculty of avoiding war and income taxes by loaning their money to the government and then reim bursing themselves by tack ing a new price mark on the merchandise they are selling to the people. 111 their mind" they are the patriots, while “the people” —they/ must fur nish the,soldiers, corpses, wid ows, cripples and orphans, and also pay for the war. It L such inequalities as these that has male us a nation of migratory renters, shifting our bases hither an you, seek ing refuge from conditions and environm ills so as to avoid the exploiters. ‘Oh, Mama ! ” What A Roast for the Governor? That staid old democratic organ, the Phoenix Messen-j ger in laM issue presents the j republican governor of Ari zona with a very appropriate Xmas donation, which for lack of space is prevented a publication in full, but ab brievated makes au awful ar raignment fir the political “push” that appears to be in control of the gubernatorial wing of state institutions: “Without prejudice, here ai e some of the official acts jof our chief executive and what we believe to be the di rect result of such acts. Vetoed State road commis sion bill, plunging the road department into a political combination of carelessness and criminal negligence that j has caused the arrest of tw<> | persons and disgusted the good people of Arizona. Vetoeing the primary elec tion law, by inference, be en dorsed the methods of repub licans willing to commit per jury in order to participate in democratic primaries. By allowing the prize fight bill to become a law, he per mitted a brutal, cruel display of human forces for financial gain. His veto of the salary bill compelled state officials to work for a salary inadequate before the days of high cost of living and computed on a wg>rk hour basis, being less than the salary of the colored janitor in the eapitol build ing, whom he appoints. By signing the bill for a raise in his own salary and refusing the raise to other state officials he displayed a selfishness little short ot com mon decency. By signing the bill for sal aries of his own appointees al most double that allowed to elective officials, he showed a partisan littleness much be low the of the office he holds. (Ain’t this a warm one?) By absenting himself from the state at frequent intervals, be has very frankly admitted the falsity of the egotistical idea that he at one time entertain ed —that the state could not get along without him. His failure to heed the ap peals of the women and the church people (against prize fighting and tricky gambling de/ices during state fair), he has refused to lend his aid in betterment of the morals of Aiizouas sons and daughters. By permitting a circus to house itself at the state fair grounds free of cost he lias subjected the State’s most valuable asset to a condition that is almost unthinkable Without protection he has surrendered the magnificent and costly' buildings and beautiful grounds belonging to the state to devastation of a horde of diseased animals and undesirable citizens in the make-up of a circus.
