Senator Ashurst of Arizona raised
quite a rumpus in the senate the
other day when he insisted upon an
appropriation being made by the gov
ernment for the determination of prai
rie dogs Too bad that he is not
equally as aggressive in insisting up
on adequate legislation for the open
ing of the Colorado River Indian res
ervation to settlement. However, 1t
is said that some peculiar brand Of
senatorial courtesy, intermixed with
a fine sense of honor, prevents Henry
from doing anything in this direction
or the reason that he happens to
own a couple of Parker lots worth
ABOUT 30 cents each under present
conditions. We would suggest that
a pu5iic subscription be taken up,
tne. proceeds of which to be used in
buying from Senator Ashurst his val
liable CD real estate holdings here.
Probably if this were done the Ari-
IONA senator could conscientiously
better serve his state.
