WObbIy Hunt WObbling

When the Supreme court of
Arizona decided the governors
conest case in favor of G. w. p.
Hunt, the Phoenix Gazette, like
many other law-abiding news
papers, swallowed the decision
with all the grace of disgusted
disappointment and vowed to
help Hunt give the state good
administration. Hunt hadn't
been on the job ten days before
it was very apparent that all
good wishes were doomed, but
silence was golden and kept with
a loyalty akin to patriotism.
The camel's back was caved
in" when Hunt read his message
to the special session of the leg
islature. To Democrat and Re-
publican that message set the
political house on fire. 1t breath
ed with such a spirit of l. w.
Wism that we must believe that
1T was written at the dictation of
some "Wobbly Nobleman," or
some one whose heart of anar-
chism is spun and woven of the
warp and woof of hatred for ev-
cry principle of a free and law
abiding people. Hunt said:
"At this juncture / am sorely
troubled for lack of word, a
phrase, an expression with which
to give poignant utterance to
that which is in my heart; to ad-
equately describe a certain sort
of thing in human shape, that
wears the outward semblance of
a man, but yet is a craven cur;
whose mind is a sink of infamy,
whose heart is as malignant as
a cesspool; whose character is as
devoid of principle as that of
moving ape in an African jungle;
who is the veriest stranger to
humanity; who exhibits no gen
erous impulse, no tenderness or
kindly affection for any living
thing; whose humane emotions
are as lifeless as gray ashes in a
death urn. "
Further on he refers to the Co.
chise county citizens as this con-
scienceless mob of copper COM
pany thugs" +"
Then, consider that the Feder-
al court is now considering the
charges against those Cochise
citizens. and that Hunt had
many thousand copies of his
spiel printed snd distributed
broadcast-for what purpose?
At the expense of the state of
Arizona he wishes to prejudice
the minds Of the people in the
charges against the accused Co
chise citizens to the end that his
friends, the |. w. WIS, may be
the victors in the case now in the
courts.
In Darkest Russia" such
could be expected.
In "Fairest Arizona" such
should not be tolerated.

Campbell Wouldn't Have the
State Pay Twice

Honorable C. C. Green,
Member Appropriations Com
mittee,
House of Representatives,
Phoenix, Ariz.
My Dear Mr.. Green:
ION my return to Phoenix to-
pay, | took occasion to read the
message of Gov. Hunt to the
first special session OF the third
state legislature, and wish to
bring to your attention, as a
member of the appropriations
committee, the following para
graph of that message which re-
lates to me:
And another matter for which
| request the careful considera-
tion of the Legislature is the COM
pensating of Hon. Thomas E.
Campbell for such time and eff
fort as he devoted to his duties
as governor de facto of the state
of Arizona in 1917 A true Ari-
zonan's sense of fair play leads
him to be generous to his adver-
sary. 1t is, therefore, seemingly
that l should bring this subject
to your attention in the hope
that you will vote Mr.. Campbell
a sum of money commensurate
with his services to the state. "
Now, while | appreciate the
generosity of Gov. Hunt, which
moves him to ask the legislature
to pay this money out of the pub
lie treasury, and while | agree
with him that | am entitled to it,
| cannot accept it if the tax pay
ers of the state are to be called
upon to pay two governors sal
aries for the services of one. |
give you my views on this sub
iect at this time, that the legisla-
ture may be saved the trouble of
Uivinp If consideration.
LAS to whether Coy. Hunts
expenses in the contest, which |
was forced to pay in addition to
my own, in defending an office
for which | had received GER
tihcate of election, are a proper
public charge, leave to the good
Judgment of the legislature.

"A recent ISSUE OF Cn0 I'll FaSO
Morning Times devoted consider
able space tie the New Oil Field
of Arizona, and as this field is
about as near Snowflake as Hol-
brook, we reproduce from the
Times the following:
A new oil field in the region
around Holbrook, Navajo county,
Arizona, is the scene of consid-
cradle excitement and prospect
i've development, and oil geolo-
gists and oil spectators are flock
ing thitherward, and from re-
ports arriving here, the condi-
tions geologically are very prom
ising. Active boring operations
will soon be going on throughout
a wide area.
A recent letter from Holbrook
says:
This town has lost all inter-
est in its justly famous petrifed
forests, its widely advertised
Painted desert, it's Interesting
Hopi Indian villages and its
world-renowned Navajo woolen
blankets. All those attractions
have been dumped unceremoni-
ously into the background, and
now the one topic of conversa-
ton is oil. For months the
name of Holbrook has been Whis-
pered around the state of Ariz-
ona, and there have been rumors
and predictions of oil galore, but
nothing definite has been at
tempted until now.
'The first drilling machinery
for use in the Holbrook oil field
has arrived, been unloaded, and
is to be hauled to the site select
ed without delay. A number of
other drilling rigs have been or
dered, some of which are on the
road and will arrive hard on the
heels of one that was brought in
last Saturday.
''Oil men from widely seprat-
ed parts of the country are al
ready on the ground on behalf of
their own or their companies
intereats. One large Wyoming
concern has secured more than
5000 acres fromlocators and from
owners of railroad land, and has
agreed to begin drilling as soon
as the new railroad under con-
struction reaches the oil field.
This railroad is already complet-
ed to a point 10 miles from Hol-
brook and is advancing at the
rate of one mile a day.
''The town of Holbrook is fill
ing up rapidly, and every night
the hotels are compelled to turn
people away. 1t is the begin
ming of movement that may
easily dim previous Arizona min
ing camp booms. The next few
months will tell the tale, and
these months will pass slowly for
the inhabitants of the old cattle
and sheep town who are getting
into the business of drilling for
oil in great earnest.
There are no oil seepages
here as some of the boosters
claim. There is no gas escaping
here that any one is certain of,
although one hears it talked of
more or less on the street. 1t is

With a virtual absence of natural

A TERRIBLE SPECTACLE.

One of the most appalling of spec
tacles is the utter downfall, collapse,
and disintegration of the Russian ma
ton.
It seems that the civilization started
b. Peter the Great and given an inn
petus by that wonderful man that
carried it progressively through sue
ceeding centuries is now mass Of
ruins, an awful sight to behold.
Not even in the corrupt reigns that
followed Peter, when vice was the
predominating feature, Russia still
moved, slowly and cumbersomely, but
always on.
Light was just beginning to seep
through the darkness which had
shrouded the peasantry for hundreds
Of years, when the war began. The
massive nation was gradually attain
ing a degree of civilization which
would~haye placed it in the first rank.
But now it must start all over again.
No nation can prosper in anything
unless it is lawful and orderly. With
out governmental functions properly
performed, the nation is necessarily
a-fiounder, and its people without in
centive to exert themselves in science,
art, literature or any other of the cul-
tural advances.
1t appears impossible that any ma
ton could have become so helpless as
Russia IS today. There is nothing to
compare with it in all history. A
country so big, sprawling on the face
of the earth, its eyes blinded and it's
ears deafened and bound fast and tied
by poisonous intrigue, sickened by in
ternal dissension, this great hulk of a
nation is a sorrier sight than ever
CULVER was, as he lay a prisoner on
the sands of the pygmies.
1t may be for the best, in that when
the regeneration comes there will
emerge from this terrible ordeal new
and greater Russia, greater by far than
could have been evolved by natual
processes. Certain it is that for Rus
STA there is no enmity, only pity and
sympathy.

Local food administrators will find
for each profiteer and violator of reg

crook, when aught, will usually be
some obscure dealer, whereas the
merchants backing up the food I'd
ministratien with intelligent, loyal
team work will be the leading bust
ness men of the community. This
spirit of team work is so definite in
most communities that the local ad-

locating and utilizing it. even if it is
not yet prominent. 1t certainly ex-

BACKING FOOD ADMINISTRATION.

With county organizations being
rapidly shaped up, and volunteer in,
spectors to supervise the grocer, the
butcher baker, hotel man and other
dealers in foods, it is fairly certain
that violations of food administration
rules will be quickly found and ade-
quately dealt with.
Local food administrators can well
let the moderate police activities of
their work drop out of sight part of
the time and turn their attention to
another side of food administration
the constructive side of helping mer-
Giants in the food distributing trades
to bring about improvements in their
business methods.
About six trades are called upon TO
bear the brunt of food saving-the
grocers, butchers, bakers, hotel and
restaurant men. dealers in confec-
tionery and ice cream, and the flour
millers One after another those
trades have been swung in line with
the food law and called upon to carry
an almost overwhelming portion of
reimbursement, not merely working for
greater efficiency in their own meth
DDS but meeting the criticism of the
public and undertaking to change the
public's daily habits.
In each case trade leaders quickly
saw that teamwork was necessary to
meet the crisis. Trade organizations
have been strengthened and their
membership increased during the past
few months, with the result that re,
forms desired for years. but impossi,

THE PASSING OF THE PASS.

The average newspaper editor will
probably agree that war Is all Sher-
man said it was, multiplied by six
For the war has put the editor in
line with other travellers who form
before the railroad ticket windows
and pay cash for their tickets.
Time was when the editor, his fam
lily, and his friends for that matter,
could travel as often and as far as
they wanted, without cost or concern.
Ii mattered not where he wanted to-
go, if the railroad or steamship lines
extended that far he could obtain a
ticket, and usually there were several
companies zealously. competing to be
the first to furnish him with this free
transportation.
Teh editor used to carry railroad
tickets in his pockets, along with his
matches and toothpicks and tobacco.
Then the government interfered, Sc
riously curtailing his perquisites by
limiting transportation to intra-state
tips. After that the state legislature
came along, IL its wisdom, and said
that tickets could only be obtained
upon a legitimate exchange of mile
age for advertising. However, that
was satisfactory, since many editors
have always on hand enough advertis-
ing space to swap for mileage books
for themselves and immediate rela-
tives and employees.
But even that now, alas is no more.
Mr.. McAdoo, director general for the
railroads during the period of govern
ment supervision, which will last as
long as the war, and possibly longer,
has stopped even that. He has put
the editor in the class with the plu-
tocrats who regard travelling as a
luxury and protest when buying their
tickets only on the war tax If the
editor travels now, he pays, and, what
is worse, he pays in advance. He is
willing to trust the railroads for what
business they give him, but sad is his
fate, the railroads will not reciprocate
: The editors have been holding con-
ventions, annual and otherwise, on
the strength of this mileage exchange,
but under the new ruling it seems
unlikely that the future meetings OF
the press associations will be largely
attended. Only those editors who are
candidates for something or other, or
who have axes to sharpen, and whose
wealth Is probably derived from some
source other than the newspaper game,
will be there.
Gone are the days when the editor
was widely and muchly travelled
man. And that is why, possibly,
why there is so little newspaper agi-
tation just at this time in favor of
government ownership of railroads.

THE GOLD RESERVE.

When the secretary of the treasury
the Senate recently that if
the war continued the United States
might be forced to issue paper money
without any gold reserve behind it,
nobody got scared There was no
panic produced Business proceeded
as usual, and the announcement has,
in fact, been scarcely commented up
on The prospect of paper currency
without a gold reserve has alarmed
no one; such currency has frequently
been issued-nay, even now, it is be-
ing issued, and never in the history of
the nation has a dollar of its money
become worthless, or penny of its Sc,
curities been repudiated. The only
question surrounding such an issue is
how and when such currency, backed
by the limitless resources of the
whole nation, shall be issued. There
is no doubt of it's acceptance by the
people
Gold is money because it is accept
ed as such by all the commercial
cyo.rarx.,1ooo+c on, 04Loc I,oe;e Co. n
currency would be equally satisfac-
factory, if ii received the same sup
port. We have now the greater por,
ton of the world with us and some
international agreement might be pos
sible today that has never been pos
sible before. If the United States,
France, England and Italy agreed to
accept another basis, one of paper
pledges or of leather would serve the
same purpose.
To relieve gold Of the burden Of
sustaining the national credits would
be to release thousands from the la,
Dor of digging it and other thousands
of the risk of hunting it-a labor in
which as much has been wasted as
was ever earned Thousands of dol
lars are spent every year in shipping
and insuring gold bars across the sea
t. balance trade defciencies-th this
would be saved. Gold is boarded and
such constitutes waste = this would
be saved while it would be wiser to
make other investments that would
grow in value as populations and OPP
portunities increased.
The business of banking worked for
years to secure general confidence and
it toriginated with the Jews, who had
confidence in each other when they
had confidence only in themselves
now all men commit their fortunes to
banks without a thoughttt of danger.
1t only needs that this confidence
be developed in the pledges of civil
lied governments and this should not
be impossible But the currency of
nation should be burdened with as
little cost as possible-the labor of
digging, refining and coming gold
makes its cost high to which its scare
ity adds something of theoretic value
but there are more costly metals
which are not accepted as currency
and SO the scarcity is a negligible
quantity
