MT. Puah,s Statement

To the Editor:
 I learn through the press Of today that charges have been made by one Pearl l.. Carroll charging me with un-N ethical conduct in receiving from her some S65 to prosecute the case, and Of the appointment by Judge Stanford of a committee to looheSinto the matter. am sure that an investigation of this matter will reveal that have not vto- lated any of the rules of conduct laid down by the American Bar association or of the Arizona law. And I am not now going to violate any of those rules by revealing matters that have come to me in a professional way except as re auired to do so by the committee. l think, however, I can properly say, since the matter has been opened up and made public, that l have not flled any suit in behalf of Mrs. Carroll and that am not going to do so; also that soon after I took this matter up in good faith and had drawn complaint. facts arose and became evident that I did not wish to appear before any court at the time and undertake to make the proof necessary to the procurement Of a divorce, and that same could not Dc either honorably or legally done; that this was followed by g prosecution or investigation by the U. $. department of justice which reveAfed some things making it embarrassing to proceed with divorce action; that there was a charge of violating the Mann act on the part of the complainant and anoth- CT in leaving her husband in California shortly before this action was con templated here in Arizona, the law of Arizona requiring a years residence; in this investigation I represented Mrs Carroll and the man.
 1 The $50 received was the check of i this man as his return checks will i show. I believe that I earned the money To make matters still worse 1 the irate husband appeared upon the ground from California to push this Mann act prosecution. had not heard 1 of this matter for a long time and l have never been asked to return any of the money, and probably would not 1 have done so if I had been asked. 1 This matter has been published over the state, And I feel deeply the injury that it does me professionally. And am sure that my clients and friends, land even my enemies, will agree that in being measured in my professional con- duct by the rules of professional ethics as laid down, if should err on either I side it would be by going too far. rath- CT than not far enough, in the protec- ton of a client

City Building

Phoenix in 1925 will look and be what the age business of today wishes The city will make the progress that only two broad visioned men imagine. Far sighted leaders held back by the indifference of individuals So it is necessary get the active interest of hundreds of the citizens to unite them definite lines, the indifferent are aroused They too want to have part in community building
 The Dnan who lives only for today is indulging costly neglect of opportunty-tomorrow will never come to that man. The whose vision is of to- morrow will be looking ahead So the city.
 Phoenix is city of opportunity--of tomorrow. The men who have undertaken the reorganization Of the Chamber of Commerce along broad, modern lines have opened this opportunity all the citizens There is not one of who afford to neglect it.
 Industrial development requires readjustment of every aspect of city life. The supply of labor the housing of workers the land the educa- ton of children in useful arts, the stimulation of thrift, the development of public recreation the as- similation of the foreign 1aborer efficiency and host of other human factors vitay affect the per manence of industry.
 None of these factors can be handled adequately without community organization that is broad gauged and open minded Left to individual initia- tive, all these affairs will be given minimum of in telgent attention far as the entire community is concerned.
 Given to community organization they will he handled with maximum of intelligence Such an organization will be the Phoenix Chamber of Com merce which next will ask for your mem bership

THE DISMAL SWAMP

Years ago a credulous bought a farm" south. He had visions of southern plantation, with darlxies singing, all that, the spot finally located toward the middle of the Dismal Swamp.
 Nothing could have appeared worthless then.
 Today it is estimated by c. C. Osborn in the Bulletin of the United States Geological Survey the Dismal Swamp contains SIP 100000 of peat available for fuel.
 This swamp lies in Virginia and North Carolina.
 It is not dismal it before the digging of the Dismal Swamp canal along with various other ditches, has drained TOO of it's 2200 square miles
 Much of this drained land is under cuItiva- tion.
 In the remaining 1,50o square miles found great beds of peat, in deposits ranging to 20 feet The peat is best in the deep deposits here it is black and comparatively free from impurities The thick beds lying in the region east and north east of Lake Drummond have been excavated some what recently and peat IS feet deep has been ex- posed

The legislature will perform an justice if 1t win Substitute Bill 11s, for the relief of certain class of citizens the restrictions of the educational qualification The bill is in an attack that law the entering wedge" which legislators it proposed to correct mistake that has been made in reform legislation.
 This bill is intended except from the applica- ton of the educational qualification test those ct of the republic Mexico who elected to become citizens of the United States under the treaty of Guadalupe Hidago and the later Gadsden treaty.
 The bill provides also that the descendants of such citizens shall be relieved of the test if they have been born prior to 1885.
 The persons most seriously affected compara- lively few in number The bill has application te other Mexican residents than those described nearly all of whom are living in Apache and Navajo counties. Nearly all of them wealthy land and cattle and sheep owners and they for the most part progressive citizens.
 The treaties found large numbers Mexican citizens in the territory of New Mexico which then included the whole northern part the present New Mexico and Arizona. Many of them then prom inent citizens. They readily transferred their ale glance, but being remote from American association they retained their language and many of their toms.
 This remoteness continued to within a compara- lively recent period. the end of which appears have been arbitrarily fixed in the bill 1885. The condition those citizens at the times of the treaties was precisely the that of others of their blood residing at Tucson anywhere in the south But very early the latter brought into contact with English speaking Americans and they generally adopted the language and, in measure, customs of the latter.
 Many of the persons of Mexican descent in behalf of this legislation urged. well and even highly educated in their language Many of them sent their and daughters of the generation since 1885 American schools and universities to prepare them for their duties American citizens The older ones have denied this opportunity and it be no imputation against their Americanism that they have not learned language.
 Most of them, however better informed garding public affairs than many one of our Eng fish h-speaking citizens who is "able to read the constitution the United the English guage in such a show that he is neither prompted reciting from memory without under standing what he is reading any than if it in Greek.
 To pass this bill will not be to throw down the bars ilteracy. for these Mexican citizens

 The law would not apply to Mexicans who have here since the treaties nearly three quarters of a century ago to any Mexicans who have been born in Arizona within the last forty years.

NOTHING DOING!

An urgent s. o. S. call comes from Germany to the United States. It has occurred to about two million forlorn frauleins that the American who made such brave fighters also make excellent hus bands
 It might not be difficult to find two million mar rageable in this country, but find million who were willing to answer the call would be diff ferent matter.
 Also we have equal number of Amerean girls who want husbands
 Hence little prospect for any relief from this quarter However there is highly nendable feature of the situation and that is the good taste shown in choosing American men.

Protect the Highways

Legislation for the protection of paved roads is so plainly needed that like many seifevident things it has been overlooked far in the legislature. bill should be prepared once and be hurriedly put through under suspension of the rules.

 Most states that have paved roads and have a pride in them have laws for their protection. In Pennsylvania it costs an offender $500 to drive cleated tractor across a paved highway. The cleats are purposey removable that in that state inc citizen may elect between the trouble of taking them off and putting them on again and the pay nent of large with the alternative of the jail
 In this county, the greatest the paved highway is the who floods the road. It is true that we have long had law against road flooding but it is inadequate in it's enforcement and in its penaty It should have more and longer, sharper teeth Those who drive much about the valley, have noticed at certain points month after month and year after year there stretches that are flooded with each irrigation. There is paved highway built according to specifications in this country that will stand up such treatment In time the base will be undermined and the back of the paving will be broken.

ship Carroll A. Deering, off the North
Carolina coast, Is now sought by Gov
ernment bureaus as clue of possible
value In clearing up the disappearance
of number OF cargo vessels along
the coast off Cape Hatteras.
Marine records all over the world are
to be examined and ships logs will be
compared in an endeavor to find the name
or whereabouts of this vessel. It's iden-
tity must be established as one Of the
first steps in searching for solution
to the missing ships matter. Officials
may learn about this vessal after they
check up on all vessels that passed along
the coast off Cape Hatteras. All vessels
that pass the lightships are recorded.
The vessel failed to answer the Diamond
Shoals signal, but 1t may be possible to
clear this up through comparison of the
logs on file In the offices of the marine
companies.
The admiralties of other nations are
understood to be cooperating in the
search. Practically all shipping COM
panies have also been requested to give
the fullest information possible. What
officials seek to learn first are the facts
disclosed by logs of all vessels that
passed around Cape Hatteras between
January 20 and February /.
