It is pleasant TO learn that the Panama canal
is "self-sustainiHs," and a trife more than that
The canal not built for profit. 1t was meant
mainly for strategic purposes and closer inter
course between eastern and western coasts
but Americans like to any enterprise pay its
way. Present traffic than takes care of opera
tion and maintenance and there is a prospect OF
enough income interest on the in
vestment though Uncle Sam wrote that off his
books long ago
1t is clear, however, that this prosperity is
tingent maintaining the canal rates about a.
they There is renewed agitation provide free
tolls for American ships Inasmuch American
ships have been carrying more than half the cargo
passing through the canal paying a cores
bonding amount of tolls, free tolls for them would
knock the bottom the canals earning power.
This is a fact consider along with the ethical
and diplomatic aspects of question If it is found
desirable to favor American ships, well and good.
But it should be recongzed that somebody has to
pay for operating that canal and that its expenses
cannot be met for the present at least by the
tolls the government collect from ships of
other nations it resolves itself into the prac-
teal question whether they shall be paid by the
ship-owners who use the canal by all the peo-
rle the United States through federal taxation.

Now that the Russian Reds have put to rout the
FAST organized effort to overthrow the boIshevst
rule. some OF the nations have resumed the talk
about opening trade relations with the governments
of Lenlne and Trotsky, who have been represented
by spokesman Of these same nations as unfit for

one must get the idea that the fine phrases about
protecting democracy from the contamination of

There has been no change in the character of the
leaders of the Russian Reds but the change is in
the former enemies of the soviet system
The state department of the United states has
been outspoken I'm declaring that no confidence
could be placed in the Russian leaders. but there
IS already talk that this country should get into
line for some of the business which Great Britain
and certain other countries seek. Get business. by
aH means and let PRINCIPLES go 10y the board.
Perhaps the allies should have given recogni-
tion to the Russian soviet long ago. when the radi-
calls were begging for something in the way of adj
vantages. They are not begging for anything now
for they know that their successes against the anti
bolshevist elements of Russia have placed them in
a position where the allies viii eventually come %

More Truth

THE GLORY THAT WAS GREASE

When visitors in Athens
a year or two ago,
Asked passers by the reason why
The people shouted so.
And why the flags were waving
And why the bugles brayed
And everywhere a gladstone air
Was fulsOmely displayed,
The Greeks would grin and answer,
Our shouts and plaudits ring
And we are gay because today
We're chasing out the King
When visitors in Athens
Today ask why the crowd
In bright array makes holiday
And shouts its cheers aloud,
And holds torch light professions
With every one in line,
And gets lit up when brims the cup
With good old Samian wine,
Some citizens will answer.
Good news is on the wing
Come on along and join the throng
We're welcoming our Kingi'
There was a time that Athens
Had statesmanship TO spare.
When Pericles. Demosthenes
And Socrates were there.
We held with Mr.. Byron
That in that ancient time
OF brains and art. to play part
In Athens was sublime.
But though it still reposes
Upon the self same spot,

from Utah and southern Idaho to the Salt River valley. l am very sure that this can be accomplished through the CO., operation of the Phoenix and Mesa chambers of commerce, the railroad companies, the governor and other state officials and the real estate ana other business interests of the valley.
 Tt might add interest to offer the visitors the privilege of visiting other Arizona points such as Tucson, the Gila valley, the Grand Canyon, Snow flake and St. Johns and invite the CO., operation of these sections in the en- terprise.
 Thousands of Utah dollars are now seeking investment here in Arizona and with such a visit from large number of prominent business men, as well as homeseekers from the north am very sure the result would be well worth the effort.
 Among the many details which should be worked out carefully and carried into a well prepared campaign 1 would suggest that the best circular or pamphlet which can be gotten out especially for the occasion be widely distributed among Arizona people to be sent with personal letters to their northern friends and relatives urging them to tage advantage of this ex- cursion and that every possible prep aration be made for @ proper reception and entertainment of the visitors.
 With the success of this first ex- cursion it may become an annual event. I suggest the coming February or March as an appropriate time for the excursion just the time when the north country is still blanketed in snow and ice and mud and the people are weary of the long. cold winter and longing for the appearance of the first blade of grass or green leaf. What a revelation to come from those conditions into the paradise of the Salt River valley with it's vast acreage of green pastures and flower gardens and golden oranges. have experienced the sensation and shall never forget it. want some of my Utah friends to have a similar ex- perience.
 May count on your support in the undertaking?
 Yours very truly,

TWO REGIMENTS II RECEIVE RECRUITS
 FROM THIS STATE

With the many mechanical devices and improvements which were deYeI- oped during the late war as part of a modern army, the ''doughboy'' who splashes ahead through the mud and rain or pushes forward over dusty roads in the blinding sun still holds his place among them all. In the gen. eral plan of everything military, he is the biggest man on the job and nothing can make it otherwise. While his scope of action has been increased a hun dred fold by the use of motorized transportation, he is the same front line soldier that he has always been, bearing >the brunt of the defense and giving the big wallop. in the hour ol victory. ~ga
 The 3slirty- second asd the Nine teenth infanEry regiments have been allocated to California and Arizona for the purpose of recruiting and it is intended that these organizations shall be composed principally of men from this section of the country. The Thir- ty-second has been located at Camp Kearney ever since it arrived from Hawaii, shortly before the armistice was sighed to become a part of the Sixteenth division, which was then forming for overseas service. Since Kearney has been abandoned it's head quarters will be at the Presidio of San Francisco.
 The Nineteenth infantry has been doing border service for some time
 with headquarters at Douglas, but re- cent orders will send it to Camp sherman, Ohio
 Wherever these regiments go they will carry the spirit of the great South west which they represent and from
 which they have been recruited. En- | 1istments for these outfits are now

 The same train and the same clerks were held up last May by Horace Wal ton of St. Joseph, Mo-, who was slain by police while trying to escape with nearly $100,00 stolen from the mail car. Conductor H. B. Jacks, in charge of the train, said the train slowed down near Tucker, Ill, and he thought the engine CT had received a ''slow" signal. Mail clerks said that at Tucker they were confronted by the two train rob- bers and ordered to open the registered mail sacks.
