THE PEOPLE HAVE RATIFIED

Since there remain in the Uni
ted States Senate and elsewhere
some republicans who feign to
scorn assertions that a vast ma
jority of the American people
want immediate and uncondition-
al ratification of the League of
Nations, it may be both interest
ing and instructive to appraise
sentiment in the ranks of the re-
publican party.
1t is not unfair or ungenerous
to say that the practical Mr..
Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee, would not
hesitate for an instant to make
the League partisan issue if he
felt that republicans as a whole
would second him.
But Mr.. Taft, who is unques-
tionably the chief figure in the
republican party, has denounced
every attempt to make the League
anything but question of Amer
ica's obligation to obtain and
insure peace. Former Attorney
General Wickersham and former
Senator Burton take the same po-
sition. The roster of republicans
who share their views contains
many names equally illustrious.
Republicannewspapers of great
influence and wide circulation are
fighting for the League and con-
demning those who would en-
tangle it with partisan politics.
The republicans of the Senate,
where most of the objections to
the League are heard, are by no
means a unit in their attitude to-
ward the League. Senators
Kenyon, McCumber and McNary
are counted among the Leagues
supporters. Other republican
senators who are among its op-
ponents can come to no agree
ment as to the basis of their op-
position.
Lastly, the Republican Nation
al Committee itself is a composite
Of factions on the big question.
While Mr., Hsvs is saying 1t is not

SOME REASONS FOR H. c. l..

1t will not be long before the
people will wake up to the fact
that if they want any foodstutfs
they will have to get down on
their bended knees to the big
FIVE" packers-Swift & Co., Ar
mour & Co., Wilson Il Co., Morris
& Co., and the Cudahy Co. The
Federal Trade Commission re-
ports that they own and control
some 762 companies and deal in
over IT'S commodities, mainly
foodstuffs. Making the price on
what they buy and making the
price on what they sell is a very
splendid little game and they sell
dom lose any money under that
system. Even the government
does not seem to be able to get
any action on them, so cunningly
have they covered up the trail
leading to their trade secrets and
methods of doing business. In
stead of government control it
looks as though they were con-
trolling the government. Coco

A STEP FORWARD

Announcement has been made
that the contracts for the land
under the projected San Carlos
diversion dam had been approved
by the Secretary of the Interior,
and a representative is now on
his way to Arizona to have them
signed. This simple item spells
water for 62, 600 acres in the low
er Gila valley and means the per-
manent establishment of another
great irrigation district for Ari-
zona.
For many years the claims of
the Indians and the white owners
have clashed and no result could
be obtained. Last spring, how
ever, a ten-day conference was
held in Los Angeles, Cal, be-
tween representatives Of the In
dian Service, the Interior Depart
ment and the white settlers of
Florence and Casa Grande. This
resulted in a decision to settle the
differences of both sides and to
hasten the construction of the
much-needed diversion dam on
the upper Gila. By this settle
ment, the white settlers will re-
ceive water for $1,000 acres of
land and the Indians water for
35, 900 acres.
Casa Grande, located some
eighty miles west of Tucson, bids
fair, with the impetus given it by
the construction of the diversion
dam, to become another great
farming center in Arizona. 1t
has land the richness of which is
unexcelled in any portion of the
country. Its cantaloupe crop
this season has proved the region
as a potential center for the
growth of this class of produce.
1t has the advantage over Phoe-
nix that it is located on the main
line of a great transcontinental
railroad. 1t has already gone
far With water in abundance
it can go still further. Tucson

1t would be a wise and eco
nomical proposition to build a
foot bridge over the Union canal,
on Center street, continuing the
cement sidewalk on the east side.
Some stranger, not knowing the
queer business methods of the
citizens of our town, might step
off into the canal some dark night,
after the electric lights go out,
and drown before help could
reach him. A good-sized dam
age suit might wake some peo-
pie up.

1T CAN BE DONE

A splendid idea would be one
that would speedily repair the
roadway on Main and Center
streets Both thoroughfares are
full of ruts and in some places
the grade has entirely dissap-
peared. The rains produce pools
of water and mud on the cross
ings and there is no drainage.
1t is suggested that the honor
able common council get busy,
pronto, and repair these streets,
and after the grade has been es-
tablished, to place a good coat
ing of oil on both roadways, for
their preservation and to lay the
dust.

No, the League is not a parti-

Loss of Appetite

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and if
you skip q meal or only eat two meals
day for a few DAYS, you will soon
have relish for your meals when meal
time comes, Bear in mind that at least
five hours should always elapse between
meals 30 as 10 give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach a period Of
rest before a second meal Is taSen,
Then If you eat no more than you crave
and take reasonable amount of out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite,
When the loss of appetite Ia caused by
constipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once, A dose of

Arizona is undoubtedly the
most generous State in the Union,
but when the State legislature
voted unanimously to grant Ad-
jutant General Harris leave of
absence to help General Foch out,
they must have overlooked a re-
turn ticket. Generals Foch, Per-
shing and our own alf-Baker-ed
were worried for months about
what Arizona would do in the
great crisis; but when the legisla-
ture offered to turn Harris loose
well, we all know where the

 The principal reason given for the decline in shec5 raising in New Eng~ land is the cerainty. of damage by dogs, One .nIedatorN dog can kill a large h'erd fRSa short time. and the farmers are Iuotedf as taking the ground that as longsas the dog is gecognizedysb the law it is useless to fry to raise sheep.
