NEWSPAPER FRAT.
 GIVES PRESIDENT
 EDITORIAL CHAIR"

As an appreciation of the esteem in
 which President Harding is held by the newspaper fraternity of the coun-
 try, he was made the recipient of a
 handsome office chair, made of wood from the hull of the old U. s. frigate
 Revenge" of Revolutionary War fame. Newspaper editors throughou,
 the country contributed to the gift
 which was presented to the President
 by delegation of newspaper men headed by Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas. Senators Mccormick, of Hi nois; Glass, of Virginia, and Hale, of Maine, were also in the party.
 In accepting the gift. which was christened President Harding's Ed itorial Chair" the president said in part:
 q am only the publisher of an in terior daily paper, sometimes called a country paper. But if I had my life
 to live over, with all the experiences which have come to me, would not change my profession or my occupa- tion, nor would l alter the policy which has characterized the publica- tion with which I have so long been associated.
 What a strangely fitting appropri- ateness there is in the change of a bit of rugged old oak of the Revenge into friendly offer such as this, and if it is not unseemly want to say it is fitting to give it to me, because in thirty-seven years of newspaper con- nections l have never once allowed my paper to make manifest a sug- gestion of revenge in my own heart, and if there is one thing that has con- tributed more to my modest success as publisher 1t was because the paper always was on a higher plane than getting even.
 'l wonder if you men who write specialists might call you--have ever stopped to think or even dream of the call for human attributes and sober judgment and sane dealing that come to the average daily newspaper pub- fisher in touch with every angle of his business, called upon to pass on every problem. You would be amazed to know what comes to an average ex- ecutive's attention throughout an av- craze work week. It is not unlike the varied and endless program of coun- ltry publisher. You have human ail- ments and human ills and human woe and every human appeal on the one hand; you have the saving of good
 names on the other; you have the pro- motion of enterprise and protective activities on still another. You have the maintenance of confidence and the

CONGRESS PASSES BILL PERMITTING STATES
 TO ADJUST COLORADO RIVER POWER

A house bill authorizing western states in the Colorado river basin to enter into compacts regarding distrib- ution and regulation of it's waters was passed last Thursday by the senate and now goes to the president.
 The Mondell bill, as it passed the house, follows:
 ITO permit compact or agreement between the States of Arizona, Calif- ornia, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, respecting the disposition and apportionment of the waters of the Colorado River and for other purposes.
 Whereas the Colorado River and its several tributaries rise within and flow through or from the boundaries between the States of Arizona, Calif- ornia, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming; and
 Whereas the territory included within the drainage area of the said stream and it's tributaries is largely arid and in small part irrigated, and the present and future development necessities and general welfare of each of said states and of the United States require the further use of the waters of said streams for irrigation and other beneficial purposes, and that future litigation and conflict respect ing the use and distribution of said waters should be avoided and settled by compact between said states; and
 Whereas the said States, by ap- propriate legislation, have authorized the governors thereof to appoint com missions to represent said states for the purpose of entering into com pact or agreement between states re- specting the future utilization and disposition of the waters of the Colo rado River and of the streams tribu- tary thereto; and
 Whereas, the governors of said sev- eral states have named and appointed their respective commissioners for the purposes aforesaid, and have present ed their resolution to the president of the United States requesting the ap- pointment of representative on be- half of the United States; now, there fore,

T. J. Mayors, who is said to have come here a few weeks ago, and Frank Ku- hen, who, it will be remembered, was several times arrested for alleged bootlegging several years ago, but against whom any charges then pend- ing were dropped when he enlisted for the war.
 The three men, with car, were camping at the Peterson ranch when the officers got there. The latter hid their car, scattered, and closed in on the camp. Thompson, behind some trees, saw Gallagher and Kuhen in the corral, digging up some kegs. Then he saw Gallagher carry keg out on his shoulder and go after another. Thompson was edging closer, when a dog belonging to the trio parked. Gallagher spotted Thompson, recog- nized him and, according to the latter, did some marvelously fast work on the bungs of the two 5-gallon kegs. Thompson came up on the run, keep ing a wary eye on Kuhen, who had stuck something under his coat and turned his back. The ground was covered with booze, but about two quarts was left in one of the kegs and some was dipped from the ground and saved.
 Garrett and Corbett had in the meantime come up, and the three men were arrested.
 The still was found in some rocks about three hundred yards from the house; also three barrels of mash. The still is an elaborate affair-a round copper tank of 36 gallons capacity, with cupola top from which the steam was carried through a copper tube that screwed into big coil that carried the liquid kck-stuff down to a tap in the bottom of the wooden keg surrounding the coil.
 The mash was peaches and prunes. The three men said they were on vacation. They were brought to the county jail.
 Saturday morning, after the news got out, men were as thick at the jail as flies on anything that smells good to them. The Flagstaff male nose had a great time of it, while the Flagstaff male gullet had one convulsion after another caused by unreciprocated af- lection.
 Judge Jones fixed bail bond for each of the above at $750, and Gallagher was released on bail on Wednesday.

Communicated
of Tribune:

To the Editor of Tribune:
Will you allow me. through the
columos Of your paper, to express a
thought or suggestion which l think
is worth our consideration for a
moment at least?
For the last week we have been
highly entertained by the chantauqua
program.
Each night of the week has seen
the church filled with a very appre
ciative and inspiring audience with
the exception Of one night Sunday
night).
To be sure the service that evening
was 90 part of the chautauqua pro-
gram, but there is the observation
which | wish to make.
The sermon given by Mr.. Harvey
on that night was one which should
arrest the attention of every person
in and around this town but the
comparative number of those who
heard it was small.
My suggestion is that we, as a
community, should not fail to support
any of those things that are of a
helpful character, coming to US from
the outside, but while we are doing
This 1t comes to my mind (and that
NEST forcibly) that we should by all
means help our own more than we do.

mite" Wall Street clamored that
Ford was "broke" and that, if the
plants ever opened up again, they
would be in new hands; that Mr.. Ford
was ready to retire"
Wall Street Learns.
Just at this juncture, according to
Mr.. Ford's associates, different New
York banking groups sent representa-
tives to Detroit offering loans on diff
ferent terms. According to Mr.. Ford
only one of these representatives ever
discussed such an offer. He was the
gentleman who was shown the door.
In twenty minutes Wall Street found
out very definitely whether Mr.. Ford
needed funds. Within ten days after
that meeting, postcards went out
from the office calling 10000 men
back to their machines. Within six
weeks more the plant was again in
full operation. Since that time, with
production records smashed almost
weekly, the company's increasing
sales and production have become the
marvel of the industrial world. On
July IL, 4,461 cars were turned out
in single day, total production for
July will be close to 10000 cars
and still, Mr.. Ford says, production
is far behind orders.
What wrought this change?
The answer is in two words-liqui-
dation and economy.
Ford did to his business what the
doctor does to a man Frustrated by
over-eating and drinking-he admin
istered. a stern regimen of fasting and
diet. He stopped buying. Then, by
turning all his stock on hand, rough
and manufactured, into cash and By
eliminating every element and unit,
throughout the whole vast organiza-
ton, that did not produce, he forced
his industry, for a time, to live off
its own fat. He met his obligations,
not by borrowing money and thus

where there was talk of 'black win
ter" Only at the Ford Motor Co.
production rushed on undated. With
full forces and three shifts a day, it
was the ''wonder-plant' not only of
Detroit, but of the whole country. It
engendered a strong feeling of con-
fidence in the community.
Then, in September, the country
was startled and electrified by an
nouncement Of a big cut in the price
of the Ford car. The company an
nounced that it made the cut in an
ticipation of lowered prices of raw
materials in the future, that for a
time it must manufacture at a loss,
but that, in the hope of fastening a
general return to the basic prices of
peace times, it would take its loss
now-and it charged off to loss $17,-
100000. That is, it put value of
S8S,000,000 on stock, raw and manu-
featured, that had cost it sos, 0O0,-
900, and continued full production on
the new basis.
Shutdowns Everywhere.
In the weeks following Ford bust
ness was appreciably stimulated, but,
generally speaking, on both the local
and national basis, the closing down
of industry went steadily on. Then,
overnight it seemed, sprang
up a host of rumors that even the
Ford company was affected. Vague,
intangible reports spread over the
country that, due to the cut in price
and to other causes, grave financial
problems now confronted the Ford
company and, shortly, it must close
down or 60 bankrupt, or both. Re-
ports ostensibly emanating in New
York, Chicago, London, and about
every place else except the South Sea
Islands, and always "on highly cred
ible authority" had it that Mr.. Ford,
his back to the wall, was making
effort, using every resource
at his command, to borrow money in
every market at home and abroad
but always in vain; tie end was not
to be far off. And when, early in
December, came an official ann
ouncement that, on December %, the
great plant at Highland Park would
close down 1.-TWO weeks for inven-
tory" in the popular mind, cOnfirma-
ton was given the rumors and, with
a hundred variations, there seemed
to be sufficient of fact behind them
to get them on the news wires and
they were carried to the ends Of the
earth. Even, sober, level-headed bus
mess men began to believe that with
in the Ford organization something
weeks passed, but no re-opening; and
then announcement that the time of
resumption Of operations was ''indef-

Henry Ford Tells How He Paid His Way Out


perpetuating numberless extrava-
gances that had crept in during the
war, but by devising new methods of
efficiency in buying, in distribution,
in administration and accounting and
by eliminating waste.
Tell of the Storm.
The story of how Henry and Edsel
Ford, with methods long planned to
meet the coming storm, engineered
their industry into position such
that there never was moment when
it was pressed for ready cash for its
needs, and thus, to the amazement of
Wall Street, turned the corner" is
a kind of business and industrial epic.
Out at the plant of the Dearborn
Independent, the other day, Mr.. Ford
sat, coat off, watching a never-ending
procession, moving along the roadway
Just outside, of mowers, threshing
machines and wagons, hauled by trac-
tors, on their way to and from the
harvest fields of his estate. The day
was hot. He was reluctant to talk.
''I'm thinking now of the present
and future" he said. "That financ-
ing AldJLGL Is d Lll1uS u lie past
let it stay there"
"But," someone suggested, "there
are other plants, big and little,
throughout the country, that today
face the same problems you had; they
might benefit by your experience"
His face frightened, then broke
into a smile, as he said:
''Now, you've said something.
Maybe it would be worth while"
So he went for a lot of records and
data illuminative of what was done
by the company in the ten months
just passed, and with this before him,
said:
IF there's anything in my expert
ence during the last year that will
help anybody, they can have it right
off. My father used to say to me:
