A BIG THING FOR NOGALEs

The routing Of branch of the Bankhead nation
al highway by NOgales is big thing for the line city
This means that much of the traffic this much
and thence to Tucson 1t makes all the more neces-
sary the paving of the Tucson NOgales highway and
both cities should work to that end. They have a
common interest in routing traffic this way While
Tucson would get the traffic anyway still is inter
ested IN seeing Nogales share in it. Nogalcs is right
at Tucsons door, does lot of trading here is the
gateway between Tucson and the great west coast
OF Mexico and most of the business to the line city
goes through the old pueblo
We rejoice in the of No@aeS and hope it
viii lead to the cooperation of Pima and Santa Cruz
counties in the construction of Il paved road between
Tucson and the line city.
The foregoing from the Tucson Citizen is all true
and IN addition want to that Santa Cruz county
must do ITS share ii 1t expects to benefit from the branch
of the Bankhead and if ii wants to the main line
the Old Spanish Trails routed Nogaes and its part
10 build that section of road from Patagonia laid out
by the state highway department from Patagonia
chlSeSanta Cruz line. Otherwise there will be no in
ducement TO send tourists Nogaes and the line city
Will lose lot of other peoples money. and world of
the best advertising. to nothing of the great good it
will do the people i'll Santa Cruz county AS matter Of
fact it is investment that Santa Cruz county cannot
afford to lose unless they wish remain isolated as far
trnscontincntal travel is concerned and the progress
Slve city OF NOgalcS cannot afford that The matter is
now up to Santa Cruz county to accept the val
that the county and city if they will but
accept il and get busy.

TIME FOR SOBER THOUGHT

In the humble Judgment of this scribe right is

that they are doing less of that kind of thinking than

spendthrift debalch.
Burning up money like Coal Oil johnny is ALWAYS

II has never failed yet and it is not going to fail this time
The initiation is abnormal and anything abnormal adjusts
itself sooner or later Things nflatablc are always filled

pncture Is due to arrive inside of year. and the sensible
man and woman will ready for it now while the fish

The drunk are not confined to the working classes
although they doing their full part but infect every

infect all classes and the dispatches full day
Of greed graft dshonorlble actions and dishonest com

have similar job to that of the thousands of government

county and other parts of the state record yes
terday at St David for action that will ultimately
suit III the building of the Charleston Dam project when

A plan of action that will be started at once has been
outlined by prominent who attended the OrganZa

taken that will result III the project being sanctioned and
work started.
There is argument against the Charleston Dam
EVERYBODY knows is needed The water is in the

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

In commenting on the attack of a metropolitan
daily which attempted to belittle the political in
fluence of the country weekly and daily over the
land Harry Hammond editor of the Byron, Califor-
MIA, Times one of the livest and most progressive
papers in The country says:
"While the country paper is small, it is doing
lust as much in its way for the progress and develop
ment If the section it of the larger pa
pers and in some cases great deal more because as
rule the bigger the paper the more its opinions are
dominated from the counting room, something never
thought Of by the country weekly which boosts its
locality all the time without thought of receiving
pay Tor such service.
'eThe neople of country community swear BY
and not AT their local paper It carries far greater
weight, politically and otherwise, with them thnn
does the pannr of METROPOLITAN pretensions The
country weekly closer to the hearts Of its readers
than is the case with the larger newspapers"

MUST MEET NEW CONDITIONS

Seventeen California telephone companies have
pettioned the State Railroad Commission, which re-
gulates the wire utilities of the State to modify the
rules and regulations under which the companies
operate.
When the companies went back to private owner
shin, following cessation of hostilities, the rules
which had obtained prior to the war were reimposed.
It is now claimed that vastly new conditions require
more elasticity in the regulations. While specific
notifications were suggested, it was Indicated that
a general revision of operating conditions is ne
cessary.
When the government took over the lines it i'm.
medately increased rates to meet increased cost OF
operation and save the government from facing
deficit Since the war ended cost of operation has
increased more than ever It seems impossible for
telephone companies to meet these increased costs
and give service at pre-war prices Conditions at
fectirc telephone ard utility rates in other states
are the came as in California.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SUPPORT DE LA
HUERTA AS AGAINST CANTU

A statement given Wednesday to the rewspa.
pers at San Diego by Mr.. Jorge Platt representa-
tive of the provisional government IF Mexico with
regard to the issues between that government and
Governor Cantu of Lower California $50 clear cut
and concise that it is well worth reproducing.
'There are no personalities in the controversy"
said Senior Platt "Cantu, whatever may be his good
qualities has taken the stand of doing he
pleased irrespective of instructions from the federal
government. His means of obtaining revenue from
vices along the border instead Of developing natural
resources of the territory objected to. The fed
n~al government has removed all import duties on
farming implements, mining machinery and other in
dustriai materials vet there is levy unon them 60
ing into the northern district Of over California.
T will not DENY that Cartu's rovprnmont has
served some interests to advantapn thron0h cOnces-
sions and other preferences hut the people of the
district in general have s,,ffnr>9.
"The RESIGNATION Of Governor Cantu will be in
sisted upon his retirement being effected amicaby
If possibly, md ny force if necessary"
The foregoing statement by Mr. Plat was pre-
reded bv repetition of legal proposition that has
been given mention by The Oasis" heretofore, which
is that Lower California is territory, its governor
an appointee of the federal government of Mexico
removable ut the will and pleasure of the president
of the republic and that in seeking TO dispace Cant
President de la Huerta and his advisers clearly
within their constitutional rights.
That President de Ia Huerta has the moral sup
port of the people of the United States is known, be-
cause the partnership with all krds Of vice main
tained by Governor Cantu has become known every
where while it is known equally well that President
de Ia 1uerta has ndonted poicv of vice repression
prohibiting gambling and other forms of vice and
rnovno to alion Mexico with the great moral move
rnent that is spreading the world to eliminate
use Of intoxicants.
