MORE ATTENTION TO POLITICS

Politics in republic is the control of public affairs by public opinion. The man who depre- cates politics deprecates the American form of government The noblest occupation of the citi- zen is poitics-the exercise of his sovereignty the only sovereignty recognized in republic. The citizen may say he is not interested in poli- tics, but that will not prevent politics taking an interest in him, and affecting the conditions which surround him and his children and his children's children. The thing for the good citi- zen to do is not to sheer at politics but to bear such hand in it that politics will less justifably be sneered at, for if politics is ever contemptible it is because citizens are contemptible enough to let it become so. As Chairman Hays says, what we need is not less politics, but better politics, which can be brought about only through more attention to politics by citizens whose all too familiar habit it is to stand aside and deprecate the agencies of government If there ever was a time for politics in this country, that time is now, and if, on the part of republicans, there ever was time when they should take an active,
 intelligent and patriotic interest in their party, that moment is the present. For it is the Repub-
 can party, inevitably, that is to be charged with the responsibilities of national government after March 4, 1921. It is time for the fullest and freest discussion of issues and candidates and for the most unsefsh and effective party effort

BARNEY" BARUCH AT THE HELM

Colonel House appears to have been succeeded in presidential favor by the Honorable Barney Baruch, from Wall street. The colonel has not been able to see Mir. Wilson since returning in desultory way from Europe. He says he loves the president as much as ever he did, but the bulletin from the White House to him is that the president remains too i'll to receive visitors. MT. Baruch, however, has been admitted to the Pres ident's bed chamber and has had conference with him. and one close and careful observer of affairs in the capital reports the existence of an impression, shared by members of the cabinet, that the country is at present being governed by Mir. Baruch and MT. Humility.
 There is a curious and perhaps instructive sidelight on this in the form of report that Colonel House and MT. Baruch quarreled in Paris and that the latter threatened to eliminate his antagonist. This may or may not be true but there seems to be little doubt concerning the anger of Colonel Houses friends in the national capital They are vowing vengeance and are hoping to be able to make reprisals.
The Coconino sun., 1920-01-30
HUNTS ASTOUNDING CORRESPONDENCE

The series of letters received by former Gov ernor Hunt from the most radical element of the country and men who brag and boast of their disreputable doings against society, and his answers to them which are running through the columns of the Sunday edition of The Tucson Citizen, are simply astounding and are rapidly arousing the people of the state to realization of what had been going on here for the past seven or eight years. Many seemed to be under the impression that Hunt was merely friend of labor but the evidence induced by letters actu ally received by Hunt from the disturbing ele- ment, in which they frankly confess their inten- tions and that they were grafters and went on "souses," indicate that he had gone much farther than being merely friend of labor." It is about the strongest argument for an awakening of the people of Arizona that has been printed in many day. Much of the same kind of propa- ganda is being secretly sent out over the state today and it behooves the people to promptly clean out this element if the state would live and prosper.
The Coconino sun., 1920-01-30

One of the big problems that Governor Camp bell will have to solve in calling the extra session of the legislature will be as to whether or not merely the woman suffrage amendment will be acted upon or whether he will open the door for all sorts of legislation that he is being pettioned to add in his call The special bill of interest that will be presented will be new good roads bill adopted by the Arizona Good Roads association at their meeting at Tucson. There was dead lock on the last bill in the legislature which the governor vetoed.
The Coconino sun., 1920-01-30
STAGGERING COST OF GOVERNMENT
 OWNERSHIP

Government ownership of railways has al- ready directly cost the people of the United States nearly three billion dollars, or about $15O pei family. The railways collected in 1918 and 1919 an average of one billion dollars year more in freight and passenger rates than in 1917 During the same two years the deficit paid out of the government treasury was seven hundred million dollars, which was necessary to make tip to the railroads a net rental equivalent to the average net earning during the three year period prior to government operation. AS compared with 1915 the loss to the people on these accounts during the two years was nearly five billion dol lars. But of course that does not tell the whole story. Increased freight charges have contrib uted to increased prices of every commodity car ried by rail- In addition to all this, tie, rail, bal last and car renewals have been reduced to the minimum, so that there is serious car shortage in many quarters, and the railways have been hurried toward the junk pile. In all the history of politics and industry there is no parallel for the staggering waste and nefficiency which has accompanied government operation of railways and is the inevitable accompaniment of political control of any industrial enterprise.

WAITING TO SEE

Production of petroleum in the United States in 1919 was approximately 76,00O,0O0 barrels, an increase of 20,0O0,O00 barrels over the pro- duction of 1918. Yet, announcement has just been made of anadvancein price of one centa gal lon by the Standard Oil company. Evidently. the oil magnates do not agree with Attorney General Palmer that the peak of prices has been passed as regards their products, and the public is wait ing for proof as to many other items which enter into the daily cost of living,
The Coconino sun., 1920-01-30

The public library should belong to the city and the civic societies should work to the end that suitable building be owned and made per manent. There is no institution that is of greater importance and benefit to large class of people and especially here where there are so many transients and other people who cannot afford the luxury of private library.
