Phoenix, ArTz, Dec g, 1920 Editor Arizona Republican,
 Phoenix, Arizona
 Dear Sir: At the meeting of th& League of Defense as reported by the messenger one of the speakers en- deavored to promote class hatred by such remarks as The farmers have done 8. days work before the members of the Rotary club are up Other re- marks that the Phoenix chamber Of commerce tried to dictate how the farmers should farm and where they could farm was just as void. Does this speaker think the people of Maricopa county will follow the advice of one whose remarks would engender bitter feeling between the rural and urban population? The joke is that this speaker lives. in Phoenix and is what the real farnfers call a ~city farmer.
 It would seem, that the best argu- ment in favor of the road paving bonds is that good roads will cut down con- siderably the amount Of money now paid for tires, gasoline and garage bills The farmers ride over the bad roads more than anyone For the farmer of moderate means the sav ing in time and in expense on his automobile, truck or wagons would offset the addition to his taxes. Is it not better to pay the money to the county for good roads than to the tire and oil companies2

An Old Letter

sage Is a wise profound and learned man. Who remembers the sage of Monticello? That man was Thomas Jefferson, framer of the Declaration of In dependence and once president of the United States
 Nearly a hundred years ago Jefferson took his pen in hand" at the request of relative and indicted missive to namesake, Thomas Jefferson Smith is what Jefferson wrote:
 This letter will, to you, be as one from the dead The writer will be in his grave you can weigh its counsels Your affectonate and excellent father has requested that would address you something which might possibly have a favorable influence no hte course of your life you have to run Few words will be necessary with disposition on your part Adore God Reverence and cherish your parents Love your neighbor yourself. Be just Be true Murmur not at the ways of Providence So shah the life Into which have entered be the portal to onr eternal and ineffabe bliss And to the dead if s permitted to care for the things of this world every action of your life will be under my regard Fare we'll"
 Who will say that Jeffersons .rulesy of q hun dred years ago equally applicable this moment?
 Tom was what might be referred to in the par lance of the street "a wise guy" He was the fellow who suggested. too, that put off not until the morrow what could be done today, as well as those other practical helps in every day life.

The country is undeniaby a business slump Unemployment is growing. Factories going on short time, closing curtaling Prices in wholesale lines have fallen materially, retail prices though ptthey have followed to considerable extent bound to follow.
 Why? Why does the machinery of production slow down creak and groan and finally come al-f most to a standstil?
 "overproducton," comes the Europe American manufacturers, because her cash and quently are becoming overstocked; people won't buy at high prices retailers trying unload high prices therefore being received at the factores-therefore pending industrial distress
 What is "overproduction?" Does it mean that everybody in America has all he she wants to make a comfortabeslife? Does it mean that Amer ica has "too much" of the things that go to make life livable-food, clothes, houses, amusements2
 Not at all. The country is five million houses short enough roofs to keep it's people comfortably housed Millions men, women and children, if official reports be believed if official reports are to be believed. living below the level of decent and comfortable existence-are underfed, underclothed.
 Overproduction in any real sense does not exist What does exist is inability to market goods at a profit; inability to sell back to the men and women producers of the country the goods they have pro duced There is something with the industrial machinery all the people cannot get sufficient lv fed clothed and housed Wouldn't it be fine thing if incoming administration would set itself to solve just that problem;
 How make the industrial machinery meet all tthe needs of all the people?

The Boy and the Drum

This day after Christmas the little boy to whom drum was given suppose. will begin puzzling ver the origin of its sound. Investigating the mat fer he will open the drum few days later and much to his astonishment will discover it's all hol- 1o,, inside where he thought the sound was
 His inquiry should not be discouraged by spank inc eor there are few better object lessons for how or man than busted drum that made such noise
 Consider for a moment the defunct drum It was a bright sparkling thing. It filled the house with sound. until everybody tired of hearing it. Then tbe boy opened the drum to look for the sound and found nothing
 Too many men are like the drum. They make
 ro.+ sound in the world, the sound passes as the ,-roncv of thought; and the men are accepted as treat in proportion to the sound they make.
 But it is as true of men as of drums that the rrpcr the vacancy inside the louder the sound pro .ccd so that the drum makes the biaEest sound

Are You a Kodak Fiend'?
 Then You Will Like To Know About This-One Of The Most Interesting Institutions In Phoenix

Most of lis have, at some time or other, I imagine. been hard hit by the picture taking craze And We have even gotten it so badly that we insisted on finishing our own pictures, rather than send them to be finished for us. How we struggled with trays of de- veloper and pans of hypo, and how We stopped around in a moro or less aim less manner with hardener and soft ener and a few other things that the cleverly gotten up instruction book told Us must be used if we would have pic tares that would be pictures Usually our nails bore evidence Of our sloshinS around with the various mixtures, and more than likely some of our wardrobe would bear traces of the time that the tray of developer turned over or some thing else was spilled.
 But unless one really likes such messiness and actually understands just how to go about the developing and printing, it is a bit more wise, l think, to turn the exposed film over to some thoroughly reliable studio, which will return to you within 8 day or so a batch of clean black and white prints, developed and printed exactly as they should be. And I. because am one or those picture taking fiends. believe that I found, here in Phoenix, the very place to send ones films
 Perhaps you know of the Arizona Photo company. now located at 615 North Second street. It was on one cf my exploring trips around the city that found it. and later, when I had seen some of the work turned ont by them was indeed glad that I knew about the studio.
 Do you know where your films are sent, when you turn them in to any one Of a large number of drug stores in Phoenix?

A Party Named saxtOn

December T., l9ZF Editor Arizona Republican, Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir: It has come to the atten- ton of the Asphalt association that a party named Saxton has talSeR part in meetings and conferences in Maricopa county in connection with the highway bond issue and thf an impression pre- vails that Mir. Saxton represents or ganized asphalt interests. l deem it. therefore. a matter of simple justice to the people of Maricopa county and to the asphalt industry to state that. Mir. Saxton does not represent the As phalt association or it's individual members, has never been connected with the Asphalt association, has no authority to speak for 1t or to in any way act as it's agent Furthermere, the Asphalt association has taken no lpart by way of promotion, directly or i indirectly in the highway affairs of Maricopa county. The association is i composed of most of the large asphalt producers of the United States and l Canada, and it's work is conducted along strictly educational and research lines looking to tho healthy and sound development Of the asphaltic types of pavements.
 I I feel sure that your sense Of fair l ness win cause you to give prominence to this communication.

It is no doubt true that nearly all human inventions have been suggested by natural objects, says the New York Herald. Fremont, of the French School of Mines. points out an interesting ex- ample in the case of the screw. the fundamental idea of which, he believes. was suggested to primitive man by the spiral shape of the edible snail. It was not the shape of the shell that suggest ed the screw, but the spiral motion which it is necessary to give to the body of the snail in order to withdraw It from the shell. This at once showed that an object of a screw shape em- bedded in a solid. powerfully resisted attempts to withdraw it by a straight pull. The hint was enough, and the screw became one of the earliest of mans inventions

Improved provision for the comfort of invalids and cripples is one form of current progress that probably owes it's impetus to the great war. The old fashioned wheel chair, labonously hand pushed seems likely at last to become obsolete, as modern propulsive methods are adapted to the new pur- pose. according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. In a recently designed out fit, the wheel chair takes the form of a sidecar on a light steel frame which may be attached in a few minutes, by four bolts, to a standard bicycle of either diamond or drop-frame style. Spring suspension and deeg upholster- ing make the side seat comfortable.
