The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver, and this applies with equal
force to subscriptions for the
Red Cross war fund. No limit
to the game.
Representative Flake is still a
resident in Navajo county, as a
letter appeared in an Apache
county newspaper from him last
week bearing a Snowflake ad
dress. It is the first time he has
been heard from since the legis
lature adjourned, where he dis
graced the county that had
honored him with its suffrage.
The state supreme court hafi
upheld the validity of the law
which provides that an employe
shall be paid in full at the time
he quits the service of his em
ployer. The case was taken to
the higher court by the Arizona
Power Co. after a judgment had
been returned against them by
the superior court of Yavapai
county, wherein T. F. Coughlin
was the discharged employe and
complaining witness.
The prohibition provisions em
bodied in the food control bill
passed by the House last Satur
day stops the use of all food
stuffs for the manufacture of al
coholic beverages, and gives the
President power to take over for
war purposes all liquors now on
hand. The bill is now before
the Senate, and will probably be
passed this week and sent to the
President for his signature. The
strict enforcement of all the pro
visions of the law will give us
practically national prohibition.
A Phoenix paper says there
has been twelve more murders
committed in Maricopa county
since Campbell has been gover
nor than were committed during
the five years of the Hunt admin
istration. This is largely charg
able to the persistent fight Mr.
Hunt made to abolish capital
punishment, which law went into
effect at the time Gov. Campbell
went into office. Mr. Hunt had
a theory that if capital punish
ment was abolished there would
be no murders committed, but it
has simply emboldened thuga and
gun men into activity.
The solons at Washington can
not dodge the issue of regulating
food prices. They might just as
well look the issue squarely in
the face as men honestly inter
ested in the welfare of their
country, and put a stop to food
gambling once for all. Before
the declaration of war the in
creased cost of living forced to
unnatural levels by gamblers and
trusts brought on many labor
troubles to get wages adjusted
to an equitable ratio, and if the
cost of living continues to soar
further labor troubles can be ex
pected, and are sure to come. It
has been the proud boast that
the families of the laboring men
of America are the best fed and
best clothed of any nation in the
world, but if something is not
done at once to change existing
condition the American laborer
will be forced into the same con
dition of the peasant and peon of
other countries. The American
laborer will never peacefully sub
mit to such conditions for his
family, and 'either the price of
living must be reduced, or his
wages must be increased com
mensurate with the cost of liv
ing, Legalized robbery has fin
ally reached oppression, and the
government must act promptly
and decisively to ward off the
dark days that are sure to come
if the strangling grip of the’
trusts and food gamblers is not
released from the throats of the
people. I
Food Speculation.
With the war now two yea’s
old in Europe, and all the coun-j
tries on the shortest possible dai
ly ration, the prices of all kinds
of food stuffs in those countries
are materially lower than in the
United States where there is
plenty. What is the reason? It
is because in those .monarchies a
food gambler would be found
guilty of treason to the crown.
In this country the food gam
blers and trusts are taking ad
vantage of the people by using
the war as a lever to rob them.
To permit food gambling and
combinations in times of peace is
a crime, but in times of war it is
rank treason. Our boasted lib
erty has made the organization
of trusts and price fixing combi
nations legalized banditry, and
the anti-trust laws of Congress
are ineffective,or the Department
of Justice is inefficient in their
enforcement. We have the steel,
coal and oil trusts, clothing and
shoeYrusts, meat, grain and flour
trusts, butter and egg trusts,
vegetable and food trusts, in fact
a trust in every commodity of
necessity manufactured or pro
duced that can be corralled by
holding companies or combina
tions of capital. Congress is at
tempting to pass a food control
bill as a temporary war measure,
but its effect will probably re
strict the amount of food a fam
ily can use, but will not relieve
the high prices that are being
forced on the laboring peopje of
the country.
Congress can pass drastic leg
islation suppressing these rob
bers, but nothing of kind
will be done. It is these trusts
and illegal combinations that fur
nish the money in the campaigns
when our senators and congress
men are candidates before the
people, and they own the sena
tors and congressmen just as ef
fectively as if they had bought
and paid for them at so much a
head. For home consumption
the senators and congressmen
whoop’er up for federal appro
priations for their states, appoint
political henchmen to office whose
principal duties are to go about
trumpeting the praises of their
makers, introduce a few bills of
minor importance, and make a
few speeches ringing with pride
in their grand old state and love
for their constituents which are
franked out as campaign docu
ments; but when some real good
can be done by putting a crimp
in the food gamblers and unholy
trusts the crack of the trust driv
ers whip gets them in line, the
“people be damned.”
Perhaps our republican form
of government is a failure, and
we had better return to a mon
archy. In a monarchy when the
safety of the throne is at stake
the absolutism of the ruler makes
all his subjects fearful of his
vengence should they prey on
the necessities of the people,
which accounts for the prevail
ing low prices of food stuffs in
European countries. But in this
country where the people rule
through trust-ridden representa
tives the war is made the basis
to exploit the last dollar from
the pockets of the laboring class,
while the youth and strength of
the country are fighting fcr its
very existence. When peace
comes again and our country is
saved, the soldier boys will have
to start life anew with nothing
but brave hearts and ambitious
spirits to capitalize their efforts,
while the trust magnates with
their millions wrung from the
the toiling masses, invested in
war bonds toj'escape taxes, will
be clipping coupons and looking
about for further opportunities
to increase their wealth at the
expense of the sweat and blood
of the laboring men.
We have taken Col. Breen’s
advice, bought a sack of wool
and planted it, and we expect by
spring to have a fine crop of
sheep. Thus have we done our
bit to reduce the high cost of \
living. 1
j If this propaganga on conserv
ing food continues, the editor is
in favor of getting the married
1 men to organize a club, so we
can get something to eat besides ,
hash.
Arizona will have no military j
cantonment. Our two senators
j and congressmen were each busy j
• trying to land the plum for his j
particular home town, and while
they were playing politics the
• cintonments were all established
•at other points. Arizona’s re
presentatives should remember
they do not represent their home
> town, but rather are supposed to
5 represent all the people in the
5 state.
