GET BUSY AND WRITE

The following letter to Senator
Mark Smith, explains fully what the
people Of the Gils valley want from
our congressional delegation in re-
gard to saving the lands bordering
on the Gila river from being washed
away.
This is a serious matter and every
land owner and business man in the
valley should write letter at once

and to other senators and congress.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY

The terrible tragedy of Saturday
afternoon, in which one young boy
lost his life and his companion SUI
fered almost fatal injuries. when
their automobile was struck by the
north. bound passenger train, was q
great shock to this community.
One home WIS invaded by great
sorrow over the loss of bright and
promising son; the other in constant
dread of a fatal ending for their
only son.
In the heart of everyone was the
deepest sorrow and sympathy for
the bereaved parents and the ever
present hope that the other boy
would survive his terrible expert
ence.
The accident. for itcan be termed
nothing else. may or may not have
been caused by carelessness, but 1t
seems hard to believe that the boys
would take such fearful chances in
the face of certain death or possible
injuries that would main for life.
One great lesson that should be
learned from this tragedy is that
which the railroad company has
warned the public time and again,
that drivers Of vehicles, especially
automobiles. should never attempt
to cross the tracks in front of an
approaching train.
1t seems hard that it is necessary
that human life must be sacrificed
to convince others that the practice
of crossing railroad tracks in front
of moving trains is dangerous.
The real story Of just how thi'
terrible accident occurred; just what
happened to prevent the unfortu
nate boy from turning away from the
tracks, as he attempted to do, and
how instead. he drove in front o.
the train, may never be told; yet WI
can believe that something did hap
pen; perhaps the terrible excite
ment of approaching danger allowed
the guiding hands to hesitate anc
lose control. and then the dash Il
certain death.
The lesson Of this most terrible
and heart.rending tragedy shoult
reach every heart.

ECONOMIC SUICIDE
Is Sure to Result from Fail
-
ure to Patronize Home
Industry

In respect of several different in
terests the people of Arizona, par
ticularly of the Salt River Valley,
are pursuing a policy of economic
suicide, most dangerous because it
it is not appreciated and is involun.
tary. Our optimism is too broad to
believe that it will be carried to
fatal ending. but notable hurt has
already been done and incaIculable
loss must necessarily follow before
public sentiment can be fully changed
as it surely will be. Fundamentally,
reference is made to the patronizing
of home industry; specifically. the
subject of -four is to be dealt with
at this time.
Fifty per cent more flour is con-
sumed in the Salt River Valley to-
day than five years ago and the
combined product of the mills of
this valley is less than it was five
years ago. The Kansas product
supplies the difference. which is
that the retail dealers can make
more direct money on the Kansas
-four, in the handling transaction,
and therefore push its sale. They
witness with satisfaction the growing
popularity Of fatuous idea which
it is the purpose of this article to
dispel.
Kansas -four is made from hard
wheat. Arizona flour is made Of
what is known as soft wheat, though
through the inspiration of the millers
in recent years. growers are now
producing q semi-hard wheat. of
(which 80 per cent of the Arizona
-four is now made. This -four sells
flor less money than Kansas flour
and for every purpose except the
single item Of light bread, it is su-
perior to the Kansas article, although
a light bread of superior flavor can
be obtained with proper handling
even though the color be a little
darker. There is no better milling
machinery and there are no more
competent millers in the United
States than iii the Salt River valley.
Nor is there any better wheat ex-
cept for the single purpose men
toned.
Every merchant has the right to
handle the goods that profit him
most. Each, of his customers has a
fright to buy the goods that cost him
the least money or the goods he re-
quires to fill a certain want. But
perpetuating the deception that a
high priced article is necessary to
serve a purpose for which cheaper
article is just as good or better, is
unfair. When that deception crippleS
q home industry the evil is infinitely
greater than simply imposing on a
patron.
Leaving the dealer and his patron
and assuming the correctness Of the
foregoing argument which can be
amply verified elsewhere, the sui
cidal phase of the question appears.
The wheatRrowers Of Arizona can
successfully market their grain no.

Wheat in Phoenix today commands
$1.75. Knowing the markets else
where the local millers could today
bear the price to $l.45 if they saw
fit to do so. A local buyer is author
ity for the statement that there has
not been an hour for twenty years
when wheat did not bring higher
