Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
Egyptian Cotton Why?

To the Editor of The Republican:
 MT farmer, do you want your lands to be more valuable here in the Salt River valley? Do you want to see more people and capital in our state? Do you want people of our nation to take notice of our fertile valley and superb climate? DO YOU want to stab ilize the Pima cotton and make the Salt River valley the most talked of country in the United States, if not in the WorId2
 Mir. Business Man, Banker, Stock Raiser, Miners and all The above questions will apply to you also, for a l bigger state. If you do you will boost for Egyptian cotton being put into the ! manufacture of every automobile tire that yol use. And don't accept any mans statement without factor for | mulas guaranteeing this fact. If all automobile owners of this valley and state wofuld do this, there would only | be about three brands of tires used now; while there is about 15 kinds sold | here in our valley.
 In Maricopa county, there was sold | last year. approximately 30,000 tires at an average of S20 per tire would be ! $600,000. The state, as a whole, used | about S0,000 tires; at the same price i average ot $ZO per tire, would be $l,- | 600,000. These figures probably don't | look very large when our cotton croI

The American Idea


 The addresses of Charles E. Hughes and David Jayne Hill before the New York State Bar associa- ton emphasizes the complexities which surround the establishment of a league of nations. No doubt these gentlemen accurately reflect the American idea far there is idea They may not be- and perhaps not quite in accord with the views of the presi dent, certainly they not in accord with the views of the nternatonasts, the socialists and other Missionaries who would pool America with all the rest of the world.
 They opposed to the subordnation of national interests. They opposed to confeder aon Evidently they did go farther than the formation of a league which would be strong enough to enforce international law and agreements without which they can be of force effect,
 This they assure us would be no abrdgement Of the Monroe doctrine. On the other hand, it may be presumed that they would not care to an exten- sion of our Monroe doctrine over the whole world, as was suggested when the league of nations first proposed and when ideas regarding it more vague than they now. If Europe wants Monroe doctrine or if Asia well and good. They at liberty to copy It is not copyrighted but is not to be merged into it and We are not to held responsible for the enforcement of any other Monroe doctrine than our own
 Nor would throw into the pool industrial or commercial advantages, or surrender anything to the league We are asking no surrender from any other nation. There is nation that has anything we want. We propose only to enter into a co-opera- for the preservation of the peace of the world We not proposing to purchase such a peace contribute to the keeping of it by giving up anything have.
 If an international confederation col,d be formed which everything should be pooled, there could, of course, be among nations, for there would be nations. Incentive to would also be removed if all in pool all in the boat, but the giving up of national identity any of those things hat contribute to identity would be too high price to pay even for perpetual world peace.
 We doubt very much whether any of the more powerful European nations would care much for such a league as Messrs Hughes and Hill have seemed to outline. The prospect of great seriously threat ening any of them is very remote and they no doubt feel themselves competent to handle such out breaks very likely to among the smaller and weaker nations There would really be nothing for France Great Britain in what appears to be the American idea of a league Of nations.

The Teachers

The bill Of Dr. Lacy of Ga county to fix minimum wages oe teachers at $1OO a month or twelve month contracts would add considerably the cost of our schools but nearly much would be saved to the taxpayers under modern educational system such as has been proposed and which we understand is only q part of the reforms of the system to be offered very large part of the money we have expended in the past has been wasted It could not be said that q dollar of the money in the proposed increase of salaries would be wasted. A good teacher is worth all that any legislature could be brought to allow. Without the right kind of teachers. educational system could he effective. If the Lacy bill should ecome law it would attract to the state high grade If teachers.
 People generally have had high a sense of the importance of the service of the teacher as they now have. They more clearly than they did before how foundatonal is the work of the teacher; that all the hopes, ambitions and aspira- lions which society harbors dependent for the rrazaton of them the progress of educational effort.
 We have fought to make the world safe for democ- racy, but men and women of understanding know how little the victory have won contributes to make democracy safe for society. The war which is to do this must be fought by the teachers ignorance and not autocracy, being the foe, Democracy is of many varieties. Any country free from auocracy
  ate in that respect pure democracies But so dense the ignorance of both that until the light of educa tfon has fallen upon them they can never enjoy the benefits of a democracy In the grasp of ignorance tneir condition is miserable than that Mexico under Daz and that of Russia under the czars.
 If the war ard the thinking it has occasioned have cultivated more appreciave of education it has also made critical of educational ideas and methods. There is a great questioning whether the ways that have crystazed into customs are the best ways and it is certain that under this questioning many changes are to be made in scheme and system.
 Thus, if the new time enlarges the opportunity of teachers and exalts their profession it puts them under challenge It is not merely that they will have to measure up to higher standards of efficiency but that they will have to prove themselves capable of making the system itself adequate to the needs What is wrong. and how wrong is to be rghted are

LENGTH OF PEACE CONGRESS

How long will the peace congress last when once il meets? It will be like the congress of West phalia in which six years spent in discussing prelimnaries and five years were passed after the appearance of the first envoy It will not be like the congress at Utrecht, where fourteen months passed. before the treaties all signed. The Vienna congress was in session between eight and nine months
 The great Versailles congress cannot hurry through it's work of world reconstruction. The lives of millions of freely given in order make such congress possible. It must sit for many weeks and go through many wearisome discussions if it is justify itself. The welfare of the Twentieth tury depends upon the action of the congress- the worlds hope of prosperity, happiness and peace is the balance. Its work is work for mankind a work for the century, and the congress go way through that work before full peace will dawn upon thte world-Albert Bushnell Hart Tn the Outlook

year but Pima seed. Then to make the Salt River valley the most talked of part in the United States.
 Let every commercial body, board of trade and merchants associations in the state urge, talk and advise their friends to purchase no automobile tire W thout the merchant or garage can show that the fabric of the tire is made from Pima cotton. Then watch the manufacturer get in line.
 We know when we make this stand that we are not only benefiting our ownselves, but every purchaser of au- tomobile tires everywhere. And it will only be short time when the manu- lecturers will take up the slogan to sell their wares, "Th tire is made of Pima cotton" Then the discussion where raised. etc
 If you want all things realized spoken of in the beginning of this mo- tice, boost for Pima cotton in the fabric of your tires.

Soldier Settlement WorI,

We suppose that shortly there will be brought the legislature a to enable the state to CO., operate with the United States government in the soldier settlement plan. Though the legislature has many tasks before it and is disposed to attack them this and important to the state itself than the land development policy embraced in it. We may for the time forget the duty the return ing soldiers and cons we stand to gain from cooperation with the government in this work (But do not believe that any Arizonian is so low and not to disregard gain in so great work as thisD
 Under this cooperation there will be brought the state, government aid in the reclamation which might otherwise be unrecaimed for genera on One of the alternative plans places upon the federal government the burden of providing the money necessary to meet the expense of reclamation subdi- vision and the necessary improvement and equipment and the performance of all necessary work and to have charge of the work of settlement" Provision is also made for repayment the the lands furnished by it.
 Here the state has all to gain and nothing to lose in either this arrangement in what is called the second alternative plan, under which it may pay less than 9 per cent of the total investment recla nation and other expenses preceding and including actual settlement under the supervision the secre- tay of the interior It may through it's board the United funds be loaned to approved settlers for making permanent Improvements and the purchase of necessary equipment, and have charge of the collection of repayment and general to have charge of the work under governmental supervision

N0 LET UP IN RED
 GROSS PRODUCTION

Mrs. W. K. James, chairman of the production department of the local chapter of the Red Cross has received a letter from the Pacific division headquarters urging that the work of production go on. Due to the recent epidemic there has been a subsidency in this work. The allotment of two thousand refugee garments is far from completed. All organizations, auxili- aries and branches are to bear in mind that no cessation of work in the pro- duction department must occur.
 In the midst of winter and the rainy spring in the war ridden countries the eyes of the people are turned toward America for their existence. The Red Cross sends this appeal to local women for assistance in completing this quota.
 The Red Cross has a pleasant sunny room furnished to sew in insthe War Work building or garments may be taken home.
