"RiderS of the Purple
Sage" December 81

Mormonism is SO closely as
sociated. with Utah that one for
gets the fact that it enjoys quite
a spread in the U. S. with valua-
BILE properties located in many
states. 1t had its inception at
Palmyra, N. Y, near which
CITY on a hillnoW called Mormon
Hill, Joseph Smith. founder of
the sect, claimed to have found
tablets in gold setting forth the
Book of Mormon.
William Farnum, heading the
Riders of the Purple Sage, =
which will be shown at Social
Theatre on New Years eve,
mixed with Mormonism himself,
but in quite an original fashion.
A little known phase in history
is revealed in the play, the story
being laid in Utah in the early
settlement. and the cons truction
of an entirely Mormon town was
necessiated in filming the pro-
duction. This scene cost many
thousands of dollars, and in it
are used hundreds Of people
who depict the various Mormon
types of the period represented.
In addition to these persons, the
scene shows animals of nearly
every description, from S m a
guinea-pigs to the strong oxer
of other days.
The Riders of the Purple
Sage" is a Fox production. See
lit New Years eve.

More Road Tractors
Come to Arizona

Road equipment valued at 80, :
900 dollars was received by the
state highway department in
Phoenix the other day in the
form of ten huge caterpillar
tractors. These tractors have a
horsepower of 12O each and
will be sent to the highway au-
thorities of various counties
where federal aid highways are
under construction, under re-
quest and with the understand
ing that the counties pay freight
charges which will amount to
an average Of 700 dollars for
each machine.
One tractor has been reserved
for work in each of the follow
ing counties: Yuma, Maricopa,
Pima, PinaE, Cochise, Graham,
ella, Yavapai and Navajo. One
remains to be assigned.
This type of caterpillar has
been tried out by the state high
way department with good sue
cess. In one instance it has
been used to displace six spans
of mules in hauling a large
grading elevator and in other
instances it has been used for
heavy plow and grading work.
The highway department re-
Gently purchased new supply
of heavy equipment suitable for
use with the heavy caterpillars.
Word received from the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, says
a Phoenix paper, is to the effect
that the war department has
issued new order which will
release millions Of dollars worth
of road-making equipment to the
various states. Under this order
all material which cannot be
sold for so per cent of the pur-
chase price, will be distribu-
4 ted to the states.

climb. The lack of efficiency
grows more glaring daily. The
farther we proceed under Demo
cratic domination, the worse
conditions become. 1t does not
require a seer to tell US that we
are on the wrong road, that
safety lies in a return to Repub-
lican rule.
At the present t m e both
houses of Congress contain Re-
plblican majorities. Those ma
jorities are pretty certain to be
increased in next years cleo
tions. But in order to make
substantial progress the execu-
tive and legislative branches OF
the government must work IN
double harness. When we have
a President Of one party and 9
Congress of another we main
tain the status quo~ perhaps, but
we never get anywhere. Los

brorites and the next just or
Jioarv citizens leads to the con-
ioc+rre that neither the Presi-
dent nor the party is wholly
without blame.
While the nation was actually
engaged in making war the
President was surrounded by
,ome of the biggest men in the
country. They were the dollar
a-vear men, the greatest organi-
stion of business brains, per-
baps. by which a government
was ever supported. But when
the armistice was signed and
the war activities Of the govern
ment ceased, these men resigned
and assumed their former posi-
tons in the ranks of industry;
and since they retired the gov
ernment has been running like
amachine with a flat tire. Some
point to the Presidents physical
condition and say it is a case of
engine trouble; others, whose
faith in the president has never
vavered, say that the friction
occasioned by the jealousies and
political ambitions Of the mem
bers of his official and unofficial
family.
But short year ago Mr.. Nc
Adoo was regarded as the big
gest man in the government,
next to the President. But he
suddenly decided that his talents
were worth more than the gov
emment was paying and de-
Scended to private life. Mr..
Glass followed him; but after q
brief Sojourn in the Treasury
Department he decided that the
chairs in the Senate ARE more
comfortable. Mr.. Gregory serv-
ed Tor the first year of the wal

passed on to make room for Mr.

depressing even to the most op-
timistic to reflect how much has
been promised and how little
performed. One does not have
to bark back far to recall that
he sagely admonished the coun-
try that the passage of the
Adamson bill was the one thing
necessary to solve the labor
problem, that it was a conces-
sion necessary to insure indus
trial peace.
Great were the benefits prem
ised when the President exer-
cised extraordinary powers con-
ferred on him by Congress as a
war measure to seize the rail
roads and to establish a fuel
directorate. T h e deplorable
condition of the great transpor-
tation lines of the country, once
the country's pride, the coal
famine that now grips the East
and the Middle West, and the
radical instructions against gov
ernment authority are all the
/ results of the unwise use Of
those extraordinary powers. If
he had devoted himself to rum
ming the war and not tried to
run the industries of the country
at the same time taxes would be
lower and there would be less
industrial disturbances.
Undeterred by the failures
registered by government med
ding in other lines Of industry,
the President is still bent on
regulating and controlling the
production and marketing of
/ fuel oil. Secretary Daniels has
/ practically taken possession of
4 the California oil fields. He has
fixed the wages and conditions
of labor and named a maximum
price at which oil may be sold.
I The result is a diminishing sup
ply of oil. Development work
| has been hampered and the con-
conditions imposed are so in
tolerable to producers that most
of the companies have adopted
policy of retrenchment. That
will mean less oil and higher
prices. Interference with the
news print paper produced a
paper famine; meddling with
i the sugar industry has SO limited
the supply that enough sugar
is not to be had to meet the de-
mand.
Daily it is becoming more ap-
parent that the country must
have a different type of man fol-

years of reconstruction; that il
must have a doer, not a dreamer
