CORPORATE OPPOSITION"

"coRPoRATE OPPOSITION"
 In an editorial published the caption "Corpor ate Opposition" the Tucson Citizen takes occasion to hang upon the dscreded peg corporate hatred the open discussion pertaining expenditure of s75OOO for the legitimate exploitation of Arizona either as whole at the San Francisco exposition or as divided fund in which the San Diego exposition may participate 1t be granted that Citizen aspires to contribute to the highest mission of newspaper by conserving tho public conscience and leading te goal of unprejudiced thinking 1t is difficult conceive reason for its apparently deliberate the point at sue and its grauitous injection an otherwise up embittered discussion a theme whose clarihcation calling for the sober thought and expression of only the best in Arizona but throughout the country Yet the Citizen predicates its symposium the ment that practically the only opposition fair ap propration representation by Arizona at the San Diego and San Francisco exposions from the porations."
 Instead of conning itself nasty and unsupported insinuation, why does the Citizen neglect complete it's attempted indictment? Why does it not make spe chc charges? What for have the Arizona porations gain by withholding pro posal exhibit in Diego? What could possibly be their motive? would be a logical conclusion that the widest possible publicity extended for Arizona would be pleasing the corporations doing business in the State because would advertising of Iehcia activities and payment for this advertisement would be shared with taxpayers who have pecuniary interest balance sheets of the corporations Up the present disposition recall the 900 ap propration for an exhibit Francisco has devel. oped fair assume therefore. that all concerned in this contribution continue proer it freely for the general and hopedfor good the entire The dis cussion resolves best the money be spent to produce the best returns
 The Review in a recent editorial expressed the opinion that the s75OOO was no than sufficient 70 provide for adequate representation at San Fran cisco This opinion expressed from the conviction that to spend Francisco would be injustice to Arizona would hold the State to unfair crit- cism if not The appropriation made for a single purpose The proposal to divide the fund came later The enort Diego land boomers to interest Arizona in their enterprise is unqualihedy commend able The enterprise itself Is highly commendabe But the divert funds appropriated for another and specific purpose reprehensble and should meet with the condemnation of citizens who are approached by pe tion In as San Diego may attempt to hch from Arzonas Francisco exposition fund it is an example of inexcusabe greed Any disposition the part of the San Francisco officials participate in the raid cannot result otherwise than in alternating the sympathes and the support of Arizona.
 If the State treasury warranted it. appropriation for an exhibition Diego would be desirable ir proportion to the both in neighborness and ad yersement which Arizona might reasonably be expected to receive But any justification for activities on the mart of San Diego officials be established solely b' their standing on their own merits in asking for an ap propriation for themselves from Arizona.
