Own Your Own Farm I
PAY RENT TO YOURSELF. I
Why keep on renting a farm and paying rent to the oth-
er fellow when we can sell you a very desirable one on very
advantageous terms? The rental you are now paying would
wive out much of the principal and interest on a splendid
farm we have listed with us and offered for sale at a very
low figure.
If you are a renter we suggest that you have a talk with
us. It may mean the opening up of a more profitable future
for you.
If you are open to a proposition on a town house and lo
that will prove a paying investment, see us without delay,
The price is right .and this property will always be in demand

COLQUITT AND THE
“GOLDEN RULE”.
i Colquitt is going to base his
j campaign in the run-off primary
ion the “Golden Rule’’. Because
he led his opponents he says he
is entitled to the nomination, and
puts it up to the voters to know
if they did not feel the same way
if they had been in the race and
led their ticket. Presuming that
the voters would feel as he does,
he asks them when they go to
vote to apply to the Golden Rule
apd do to him as they would be
done by if they were in his place.
At the first blush there is some
plausibility to this appeal, but on
closer scrutiny there is nothing
to it. It would have been just as
applicable in the first primary as
in this. Every man, if he had
been a candidate in the first pri-
mary would, of course, have
wanted to be elected. ’ Mr. Col-
quitt wanted to be elected, end
therefore the voters should have
applied the Golden Rule and
voted for Mr.'Colquitt.
Mr. Colquitt’s claim that he is
entitled to the nomination, be-
cause he led the ticket, is also
rot. He went into the race with
full knowledge of all the condi-
tions, the chief of which was
that there would be a run-off pri-
mary for the two highest men.
Knowing these conditions, why
did he not then proclaim that
the highest man should be en-
titled to the nomination and state
emphatically that if some other
man got more votes than he‘did,
le would withdraw.

MANAGER SYSTEM IS LIKED
Has Been Given a Year's Trial in Tuc-
son, Arlz., and Seemingly la
Thera to Stay.
“Dodson’s Liver Tone” Is Harmless To
Clean Your Sluggish Liver
and Bowels.
Tucson, at the close cf a year under
the city manager system, is pleased
with it and will continue it, though it
is free to abandon it, since the system
exists by a sort of understanding and
not by charter. The eld council sys-
tem prevailed in Tucson, but it was de-
cided before the election to give the
manager system a trial for at least
a*year. It did not seem that under such
an arrangement the system could have
a fair trial. If the council should at
any time divide to engage in politics,
the system would gc by the board. But,
fortunately, the mayor and the coun-
cil have earnestly assisted in making
it a success. They selected a good
man for manager and delegated all
tfiie power possible to him. There has
been no interference with his ap-
pointing power. No pressure has been
exerted upon him in favor of any ap-
plicant for a Job. There has been
no taint of politics in the city gov-
ernment, which has been the best Tuc-
son has ever had. More has been ac-
complished in the last year than in
any previous year.
What has happened in Tucson has
happened everywhere the city manager
system has been given a fair trial.
Phoenix's experience of a year and a
half with it has been entirely satisfac-
tory. In tl^e beginning there was a
little jarring of the machinery, but for
several months it has run smoothly
and the result has been profitable in
money and good government. Even
more is promised for the next year.
If it should ever fall down or fail
here or elsewhere, it will not be the :
