PRESIDENT BEGINS MEETING OF BEST
 FINANCIAL MINDS
Inaugurated as Means of Con- sidering Industrial Outlook With Reference to Fur
 ther Loans Abroad
By AssocInted Press

Washington, May 26.-A meeting of best financial minds" has been inau- gurated by President Harding and his advisers as means of considering the nations industrial outlook with par ticular reference to the question of extending further loans of American capital to foreign governments.
 Some of the most prominent figures in American finance and industry all ready have given the President the benefit of their Judgment on specific problems affecting the financial world and in the near future others are to be called to the White House to con- suit on ways and means to stabilize conditions and hasten the return to normalcy'
 The foundation for a series of dis cussions on these subjects was laid at White House dinner last night, the significance and detail of which be- came known today for the first time
 FINANCIERS ARE GUESTS

HUNTING A WAY AROUND

National Committeeman Baumert has an- nounced brilliant scheme with which to make federal appointments for Arizona. He admits that he found things badly tangled up back in Washington from which he could hardly tell heads from tails but announced scheme of fix ing up ballots containing all the names of all ap plicants for federal appointments and sending it around to members of the state central commit tee to be marked and sent in to the state exec utive committee to be counted, the winners in this contest to be recommended by the state con- mittee Sounds like the old primary method where the organized few win with minority vote, thus consolidating the influence down in Maricopa county. It is doubtful that Senator Cameron can be taken in with so thinly yelled scheme as this proposition. It begins to look as though some one was laying awake nights trying to figure out some way to get around Senator Cameron. It is odd that this inner lodge circle of pap patriots are worried so badly, Senator Cam eron does not seem to be.

 EXPLANATIONS THAT DON'T EXPLAIN

The northern good roads enthusiasts were stunned when they were advised that the gov ernor had picked out the north for slaughter and vetoed all northern appropriations. The amazing thing to them is that the governor could say that the bill was narrow-minded, log-rolling, ill-con- ceived legislation; that he stood for plan that would make system of highways through the state, also that he was for giving assistance to the counties with large areas and poor in taxes as against those who could better afford to pay for their roads, then to find that he had picked out links in the state highways and vetoed the the great bulk of the money to go to the very counties which he claimed were able to handle their own problems. The wonder is that he sign ed the bill at all condemning it and the men who passed it as he did in his veto message. Again. there were grave doubts expressed as to the con stitutionaity of the bill as passed and the feeling that it would be necessary to have the courts pass upon it it before it went into effect. The explanation that it had been signed to let road work proceed without delay does not seem to square with the statements made, since it is quite certain that the consttutionality will be attack ed Branding the bill as "pork barrel" affair does not in the least excuse his sanctioning it af ter deleting the least of the 'pork" in the bi The unkindest cut of all is that of charging the men- bers who compiled the bill with narrow-minded- ness and log-rolling tactics after they had worked so hard to get bill through which they were given to understand was an administration meas ure, then turning it down cold, but leaving the main mess of "pork" in the bill. The only solu- tion of the enigma seems to be that the bill was trimmed to suit MT. Maddock.

WHEN PUBLICITY IS VALUABLE

In the judgment of some who have right to express an opinion on the subject, the attempt to cover up or at least not publish the facts as they existed when the Central Bank of Phoenix closed their doors, resulted in the run on the oth CT banks of that city for short time until peo- pie realized how foolish they had been. In way it may have been good thing the run was made for it convinced many who could not be con- vinced any other way, that the banks were safe and sound. If the people had been taken into confidence and publicity given the bank closing, the feeling that something was being withheld would not have been created and suspicious aroused that the worst was yet to come. The same thing is true of many public utilities which seem to think that the more you keep from the public the easier it is to fool them, when as a matter of fact they only create a greater sus- picion and distrust of that utility In the end the public utility company reaps the reward of bad feeling against it and when they try to tell the truth about their affairs, no one believes them.

PROPAGANDA MAY BACKFIRE

The propaganda concerning the "rumored in vestigation of Senator Ralph Camerons election expenses" coming from Washington at the time that it did, leads one to believe that it was sort of "boring from within" process devised as means of softening Cameron and making him more amenable to rule in the distribution of fed eral patronage. The source of the "rumored in- vestigation" was easily uncovered and Senator Cameron is undoubtedly very much amused at the faces the boys are making in taking their own medicine. Again it might not be such an amus- ing matter if Senator Cameron retaated by re- questing an investigation of state campaign funds, since there is such thing as the "rule or ruin" fellow getting more than he has asked for

IT'S TIME TO STEP DOWN

Why MT. Gompers, Mir. Morrison and others of their coterie at Washington expected to name the secretary of labor under President Harding is not clear. These gentlemen turned the Wash ington headquarters of the American Federation into an annex of the democratic national con- mittee during the last campaign. They misused the machinery of the American Federation, with out the slightest excuse except their personal partisanship, in the Cox cause. They made their fight and lost. Organized labor needs new leader ship at Washington; the present heads of the American Federation of Labor should have re- tired with the administration and the party to which they very unwisely and unfairly subordin- ated the cause of organized labor They should make way for leadership not prevented by partisan affiliations from cooperating with the party in power-National Republican.

The newspaper publishers have had hard time getting their papers through the mails and delivered to subscribers living out of town. We receive many daily papers all the way from week to two weeks late coming from other towns in the state. All information seems to lead to carelessness on trains or the lack of help in that service. Another feature that seems to have grown up, is the attitude that tits only paper and it does not make any difference whether it is dumped off at the right station or not" Bad addresses are undoubtedly responsible for some of the delays and the growing impression that tits only newspaper" does the rest.

It is claimed the Chicago Tribune uses the timber from over forty acres of ground for each Sunday issue of the paper. Most of the paper tilizer. The average Sunday paper of today is an abortion, mainly menace to the forests of the country and do as much good as the forest fires It is a conglomeration of stuff, gathered together by strenuous, wasted efforts to pile up as much tonnage as possible, then brag about it. It is pure quantity and very little quality, the bulk of which is never read and goes into the wastebasket Some sane Sunday editor will sometime evolve the idea of compiling paper in brief covering the field with something people will read and enjoy.

There is movement on foot to change the paving from bitulithic to macadam when it comes up for action Those who have gone through the macadam age for streets realize that it would be big mistake, for in the end it would be much more expensive for continual upkeep and not give the satisfaction the regular paving would When the bitulithic is laid it is finished for use, the macadam is rough, uncompeted job which will not add the value to the property adjoining. The payments for the paving extend over ten years while the macadam would necessi- tate payment at once. Build right while you are building and get the full benefit of it rather than put up with makeshift.
