MY SYMPHONY

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rat her than luxury, and refine ment rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quickly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occas- ions, hurry never; ina word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common-this is to be my symphony.

PACKER CONTROL IS OLIGARCHY
 OF SOCIALISM REED
Senator Attacks Bill, De- cIaring It Will Prove
 Tragic Failure

St. Louis, June 15, Gov ernment control over busi-
 ness as exemplifed by the packer control bill now be- fore congress was termed
 "a government oligarchy of socialism" by Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, speak ing before members of the chamber of commerce at a luncheon today. The whole policy of government con- trol, which he said amounted to control by one or several individuals over an entire industry, was assailed by the senator, who predicted for it tragic failure.
 If it be granted that the governmentmay take charge of industries on the ground that they produce the neces- sities of life" " said the sena- tor, "there is hardly a limit to the number of industries which would fall in such a class. /"
 "Then we adopt that prin- ciple," the senator continued it follows that there is abso- Iutely no, limitation to the power of government con- trol over the entire business of the land.
 In a word, we are asked to upon a policy of so- cialism, if the business of the country is all to be brought within the control of a few | individuals located in the city of Washington, possess ing the most arbitrary and drastic powers, which they exercise in accord with their own will and pleasure. Such ] scheme is after all a gov erment origarchy of social sm carried to the extreme. It goes much farther than the socialism established by Kaiser Wilhelm, and in my judgment will be worse than the socialism advocated by Karl Marx"

 Ely of Phoenix is slated for
 the post of United States
 marshall for the Panama ca

 from Washington, and all
 that remains to be done is
 to secure the endorsement

 Baumert, who is in Wash ington in connection with a meeting of the national CO., mmittee is said to have wir- ed H. A. Clark of Douglas and F.A. Nathan of Tucson, chairman and secretary re- spectively of the Republican State committee to ascertain if Ely's selection would meet with the favor of the state organization.

 The outgoing marshall is 3 New Mexico man, and on the theory that his successor would be chosen from some point in the southwest, it is regarded as logical that the post should be offered to some one in Arizona.

POSSIBLY NOT

A tired business man re- siding in San Francisco bought a small ranch just outside the city. Among other things produced on the farm, he was very fond of duck eggs. He purchas- ed a large number of ducks and sent them out to his foreman, a gentleman nam- ed Olson. He waited a month and no duck eggs found their way to his city table. Not understanding, he drove out to the ranch.
 "Mr. Olson," he inquired as the foreman sauntered up. "why is it that 1 get no duck eggs-from the ducks 1 sent you?"
 Olson studied for a mom- ent. "Mr. Grant, there bane forty-fve man ducks and only two cow ducks; ay don't tank the man ducks he lay aigs."

CASING FOR ADAMANA WELL
 HAS BEEN SHIPPED

Holbrook, June IA, Word has been received that the Adamana casing has been shipped and that as soon at it arrives it will be placed in the hole.
 When this is done it will not take long to determine the extent of the oil lthat has been coming into the well up through the hundreds of feet of salt water in the well. Those connected with the property feel that they have an oil we'll and that it will not take a great deal of work to prove it after the casing has been set so that the salt water is cut off.
 The big showings that have been in existence in the hole for some time past have convinced the operators that they are on the very verge of entering an oil sand, or at least are not,very far from it.
 It is stated that the Ada mara Company has secured an Armstrnog water well dril ling rig for the purpose of supplying water for drilling and domestic purpose, which will obviate the necessity of hauling water nine miles as has been the case ever since the we'll was started over two years ago.---Verde Cop per News.

FAILURE OF COPPER MINES FAILS TO DESTROY ARI-
 TOMAS CONFIDENCE

Arizona with it's 1l3,000 square miles has almosra quart CT million fewer inhabitants than the peninsula of San Francisco. Yet any of the great cities of the nation--with their non-produc- CTS: parasites. claiming large re- wards for modicum of non-es- sential service: and many dupli- eating even the essential faeili- ties---any of them might vanish overnight without causing more than ripple on the surface of the nation 5 life
 Walter v. Woehlke in the July SUNSET goes on to explain the vast influence of this desolate region on the whole world.
 Let the empty leagues of Arizona's desert and mountains be taken away and every corner of the globe would feel the loss. Of themselves the big cities pro- duce nothing, but a fraction of Arizona's population produces nearly onethird of all the copper mined in the entire world---dur- ing 1903 quantity greater than the combined output of all American copper mines.
 "The output of the porDhyry mines lifted the copper product ion of the country 70 per cent in two years. That was when ris- ing metal prices and low taxa tion pumped so large q stream of war profits into the West that the resulting mining boom made the '49 excitement look like hum- ming bird eggs alongside of the ostrich product.
 War prosperity ended abrupt ly with the armistice. In 1919 and 1920 the country's copper mines produced only 60 per cent of their 1916 output. The cop per price dropped steadily until in 1921 It went two cents 8 pound below the 1913 level. As re- suIt an unprecedented thing hap pened. All the copper mines of the country shut down complete ly.
 With it's principal agrieultu- ral cash crop selling for less than half the cost of production. with it's copper industry completely paraIyzed, with beef. mutton and wool down to calamity price. Arizona faces the future conf dently.
 "Arizona's confidence is based | on the knowledge that the 11O million Americans need what Arizona produces; that there is wealth in the states rocks. in it's plans and valleys, in it's cIoudless sky, wealth enough to | keep two million Arizonans busy. | And there are only $40, coo of 1 them now.''

 Aperoves Letters
 The AFrociation formally approved letter drafted by H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the Legislative Com mittee, answering an inquiry from the Seattle Cha mber of Comme ce relative to its attitude on the Alas kan situation. and on the report of Assistant U. s. Forester E. A. Sher- man made last month in which Mir Shdfman advanced the argument that Alaska is suffering from noth- ing more than its share of the world wide hard times. The Asso- citation also formally approved the action of the Executive Committee i n writing District Forester c. II. Fiery urging the speedy completion of Glacier Highway" to Eagle Riv- CT Valley.
 Some Things N-eded In MT. Faulkner's letter, it is ad- mitted that there is much truth ! in MT. Sherman's analysis of condi- tions in the Territory. Simplification i of Governmental regulations in the Territory is also urged, it being stated
 I The policy winch the present Ad- ministratiCn announces that it in tends to adopt with reference to the consolidation of different bureaus and the simplification of the admin siatration of the laws in Alaska is highly commendable and will work much benefit to the Territory, if a { detailed constructive program of ad- minstraton is worked out in advance IOf the enactment of any laws along this line.
 We cannot be leg1slated into prosperity, any more than can any other country in the world, and, as has been stated, there is a tendency everywhere to blame business condi- tions and financial depression upon the laws and to seek a remedy for each and every evil by enactment of ,more laws. We need new laws in the Territory, and We also need the amendment of some existing laws and the repeal of many but we Ishould not lose sight of the fact that the defects in our laws and their administration are not the chief cause of the conditions exist 1 ing in Alaska today We do believe, however, that the present is a fav- orable time for the liberalization and simplification of the laws of Congress in force in Alaska, and for
