PEOPLE WONDER WHY

State Auditor Boyce says that $9O0,00O in taxes is due the state even though the time for payment has long been passed. If the state tax commission really wants to do it's duty, it can find fruitful field close to the statehouse Land in the Salt River valley is selling at $500 and more an acre, yet Cochise and Gila counties pay more taxes than Maricopa county! There is something wrong somewhere. Another thing, the federal government claims to have no funds for new irrigation projects yet there is more than $7,O00,000 due the government from the Roosevelt dam.-Douglas Dispatch.

The scenic road for autos to the top of the San Francisco Peaks will be one of the great at fractions of the Southwest when it goes into op- eration. Such road will be far more attractive to the sightseer than the road to the top of Pikes Peak, which has been made famous by advertising Looking out on five states, glimps- ing the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert and the far-off mountains of Utah and other states, is trip that many will come far to take If the plans are carried, out as contemplated, the road will be easy to travel with no hard grades or dangerous curves. The road will be one more great attraction for tourists and will add many thousands to the rapidly growing traffic over the Old Trails National Highway.

TEMPORARILY SPEAKING

LIVE RIGHT. So live that when you are showed off into the great beyond, you needn't be afraid to go with your boots on and a red ban dana around your neck. You are only here on vacation, anyway You don't know where you came from and the good Lord only knows where you are going. Don't fill your trick full of de- mented alcohol and your head full of evil thoughts. Any gunman on the range might puncture your trick, but you will have to account for the tainted ideas at the head corral in the Big Roundup beyond It may go hard with you for while to tell the truth, but after while it will come easier for you and the people will begin to believe in you and forget your past unless you run for office. Live right and you won't want to run for office.-Medicine Dog Maverick.

AN EXECUTIVE DUTY

A democratic editor wants to know why con- gress does not prosecute the profiteers. Like most democratic editors he has evidently over looked the constitution, which provides that con- gress shall enact laws and the executive depart ment, headed by the president, shall enforce them. We pay an attorney general and his army of assistants to prosecute violators of the law.

Captain c. B. Kelton, of Cochise county

Captaln c. B. KeltOn, of COchlse county, re gently resigned his position as county fair-price commissioner with the statement that after several months of experience he failed to see anything had been accomplished; the federal courts have failed to place any limitation on profits and there was no way of getting action against profteers." He felt there was no justi- fication in drawing salary under the circum- stances. The captains step in reducing the high cost of living is at least one more step than the majority of cost reducers of the country are making.

Now even the professional gamblers down in Juarez have struck for an increase of S5 per day, or $15 per shift and Chinamen are taking their places.

A VISIT TO UNION GROVE.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 At the earnest request of my son-in- law, Rev. R. P. Bates, l spent last week over at Union Grove-or Gen. terville, in Faulkner county. I found a pretty farming country, good crops extra good crops-and plenty of Plymouth Rock chickens. They have a real good school building for a country community and will have a good church building-when they get it completed. They also have bright, intelligent, we'll behaved set of young people who know how to treat a preacher-and listen to him. The old CT folks are hospitable-and, as Dr. Hardy remarked to this preacher, "The latch string hangs on the out side" If it were not for some old feuds and factions surely that con- munity could be made into a moral, religious, educational and agricultur- al paradise. It is far removed from the evils and temptations of city life, another Acadia back there in the ridges of Faulkner county: just the place for the jaded preachehr to go and rest, and leave with their cherry "come agains" ringing in his ears

FULL QUOTA 10
 ATTEND LEGION

Little Rock, Sept. 18.-Arkansas will probably be represented by it's full quota of II delegates and Il al ternates in the national meeting of the American Legion which itso be held in Cleveland, O., September 27- 29 It is probable that there will also be a number of others in at tendance from this state. One of the important questions which will come up for consideration will be whether or not the legion shall participate in politics, as originally instituted, the organization has been opposed to its members, as such, taking any part in pol ltical controversies. The belief appears prevalent however, that this has been a mistaken policy and that with proper restrictions, the le- zion should be permitted to enter as an organization into the discussion of men and measures.
 Lee Kelly of Fort Smith, the nely elected commander of the depart ment of Arkansas, was in the city in the interest of big del egation for the Cleveland meeting. He reports that there are now in the state 142 posts, with a membership approximating 1000 and that the or ganization is rapidly increasing.

London. (By Mail l.D-American in London, who used to enjoy a reputa- tion for always putting their hands into their pockets" are now accused of keeping their hands on their pockets
 This endears them, rather than otherwise, to the hearts of the hard-up Londoners, who for years have held that "a fellow feeling makes us won drous kind"
 But the storekeepers have their views. A salesman in Burlington Ar cade deploring the absence of that fat roll of notes he had always as sociated with American purchasers, said:
 Americans have no money this season, They hardly do anything but ask the prices of things. It is the continentals who have the money. We have sold more to French and Spanish visitors in the last month than to Americans in the whole season. The contlnentals are full of money" There fore the continentals reap the sales mans smiles.
 Now that the Englishman knows the American as a "pricer" it adds to the bond of friendship, for "pricine the goods is about as far as the average Englishman's purchases ever get.

 Those who think the automobile has driven the horse and buggy out of business haven't seen Doctor Harding father of the Republican nominee, proudly driving down Mount Vernon Avenue in his rig" As a crowd was gathering at Marion for a big speech recently, Doctor Harding drove by with huge basket of roasting ears sticking out of the rear end of the buggy.
 Those newspaper reporters frequent ly seen moving around mysteriously in Harding's back yard are not looking for story. They are filling their pockets with apples, plumbs and pears from the candidates small back yard orchard. Harding himself granted pasture rights to the newspaper men.
 One of the main skirmishes of the Presidential campaign thus far is the "lithographic bombardment." Where ever Governor Cox is to speak, Hard ing enthusiasts seem to make a special effort to have the senator's pictures In pominent places, where the Demo- cratic candidate is certain to see them. The Democrats claim that so far they have been at a disadvantage, because of shortage of ammunition. Com paratively few Cox pictures have been printed. On recent trip to Wheeling, w. Va, from Columbus by motor, Harding pictures were displayed in large numbers along the road. Just before reaching Wheeling the Cox par ty overlook "a Republican car," which was schattering the Autographs along the way, Across from Cox's newspaper office in Dayton are eight Harding pictures, while others appear in the state house at Columbus, only short distance from the governors oflce, having been put up by Republicans holding state offices.
