WILD BILL STEWART soRTER IGNORANT

Editor Stewart, of the Prescott Courier, sug- gests that one thing the coming legislature should do which will not be done is the consol- idation of the two state normal schools, which the Courier declares, could be done without harm to the state or to the cause of higher education This suggestion ought to be sufficient to start something" in the editorial sanctum of Col. Breen, of the CocOnino Sun.--DouglaS Inter national
 Really, Major Kelly, lots of times Wild Bill wants to make you think he's ignorant of the right thing to do for Arizona's best interests. While the editor of The Sun did put in several bad weeks, including nights, sorter saving the Northern Arizona Normal some years back when there was real intent of abolishing it in the in terest of the south, the big school has made good and heap better than we claimed for it in that last session of the territorial legislature.
 Regardless of the very few hard knocks the Normal school has received since our memorable all-night session with the bolshiviks and retro gressives in that session, the school has made 8 wonderful progress. The hundreds of gradu- ates scattered over the state have too strong feeling for their Alma Mater to permit politics or any other gang of outlaws to abolish it.

I TOLD YOU so STUFF

Our foreign trade for the first month follow ing the passage of the new tariff law seems to have knocked the editor of the New York Jour- nal of Commerce groggy. While the tariff law was under debate the prize prediction of the editor was that, if it passed the result would be a sad falling off in our export trade since na- tions being unable to get into our market because of what the editor termed the prohibitive duties of the new law, would not be able to buy from us -....
 But October showed an increase of exports amounting to nearly $60,O00000 over the preced- ing month, when the old law was in operation, and the largest figure since Mar2h, 1921, when foreign buying to make up war-eXpended stocks was still going on. If exports had fallen during October it is almost certain that this editor would have said "I told you so; the tariff is running our export trade!' As the matter stands he assumes a doUbting Thomas attitude and says: We may be building up top-heavy eX- cess of exports over imports" He had no com plaint to make of that when it occurred under the old law as a result of war and wars after maths. It is astonishing how impossible it is for the one-track mind to take an impartial view of facts as they exist.

MAJOR KELLY TO BE STATE
 HISTORIAN

Major George H. Kelly, editor and publisher of the Douglas International, has been selected by Governor-elect Hunt as state historian.
 Major Kelly has resided in Arizona thirty-five years, arriving at Tucson the day after Thanks giving, lS87 to accept job as type setter on the Tucson Star. He worked in Tucson until March, 1S90 Mrs. Kelly teaching for a time in the public schools of that city In March, 1890, he purchas- ed a weekly newspaper in Solomonville, Graham county, which he published for thirteen years un- der the name of Arizona Bulletin. In August, 1903 he went to Douglas, Arizona, where he has since published the Daily International. He and his newspapers have been prominent supporters of the Democratic party.
 The Sun most heartily congratuates Major Kelly on receiving the appointment, as we'll as Governor-elect Hunt for making the appoint ment. Our congratulations are not so much be- cause of the inadequate salary attached to the position but more because pioneer such as Ma jor Kelly has been honored for his worth, ability and long unselfish usefulness to Arizona. The newspapermen of the state who know and love him best are proud of him as a member of the profession; man of the old school, strong in his convictions, honest to 9 fault and quick to forgive where forgiveness is due.

Ole Olescn had been working as an engine wiper and his. boss, a thrifty man, had becn coaching him for pro- motion to fireman with such advice as:
 "Now Ole, don't. waste drop of oil that costs money. And don't waste the waste either-that's getting ex- pensive, too"
 With these facts of economy pound- ed thoroughly into his head, Ole went up to be questioned on his eligibility as fireman. The last query propound- ed was:
 Suppose you are on your engine, on a single track. You go around a curve and see rushing toward you an express. What would you" do?
 To which Ole replied: ..
 q grab the dam oil can; grab the dam waste-and yump."

ARIzoNAN's FIRST DUTY TO ARIZONA

There are a great many things the next ses- sion of the Arizona legislature should do for Arizona and their constituents The first is to protect the honest taxpayer by some sort of a law that puts collectabe penalty on the man, men or corporation that defaults in the payment of their taxes.
 The average citizen does not realize that he has to pay additional taxes because of the de- fault of others.
 Just so much money is spent by each county. If it is not raised, because of the delinquent then the other fellow must make it up. . .
 If the schemer and delinquent can get by with out paying his taxes for five years, our state. laws as now written, beneficiently tell him to go free, we'll just add what you didn't pay to the other suckers of the state and county. The suck eres do not seem to know there is such law and so long as they don't, let em yell their fool heads off about the increased tax rates. They may get wise some day, but the law as it stands is law until the suckers get mad about it and have it repealed
 There is no other state in the union with a fool law that actually pays a premium to the fellow that won't pay his just share of carrying on the state and county government. Arizona stands out alone as the one state legally pro- claiming bonus to the delinquent taxpayer with no penalty attached to the office holder who passes them up for five years.
 We believe there is authority invested in some duly elected official to compel payment of taxes. Of course it is optional with him whether or not he carries out his duties but in opinion there should be a law passed putting such an official under bond to bring the necessary action inn mediately after taxes are delinquent, or to hold him responsible for such delinquency. If he won't work make him pay for his delinquency, not charge it in on the tax rate, just because he is worthless.
 The first thing for the legislature to do for the good of Arizona is to repeal the tax limit of five years. Don't pay bonus for delinquency and make the honest taxpayer pay for the de- linquent.
 Put a penalty upon each officer whose duty it is to see the law carried out, in case of his failure to do his duty.
 Don't leave it to official influence" as to who should or should not be "helped out" in a pol itical way broadcast the delinquents by publica- tion and show just who the delinquents are.
 COconlnO county as well as every other county in the state, have thousands of dollars on the de- linquent list, totalng millions for the state. Not One-tcnth of the whole amount is in taxes of those too poor to pay. The great bulk of the whole amount is charged to those who have ta- ken advantage of our state laws.
 Why should favored few refuse to pay taxes and get away with it?
 Why shouldn't all taxpayers go "bolshevik' and refused to pay taxes?
 Ihs may sound very harsh and bolsheviki to the new members of the legislature, but if they are "honest-tO-God Arizonans" they will look up the law and make it one of their first duties to correct it.

LET THE SUN SHINE

The Coconino Sun, published at Flagstaff, the best weekly in northern Arizona, has installed a big Duplex web press, which event is one that must necessarily cause Col I7red S. Breen, the genial editor and manager, to swell out his chest with commendable pride. Every real newspaper man in the state will rejoice with him. The Sun has helped much toward making a live city out of Flagstaff and if the business men use good judgment they will keep The Sun shining for some time to come.-PhoeniX Messenger

A Real Home Ruler

II his address 20 the State Bar
Associa ton Governor Miller made
this fiat and unequivocal declaration ::
Our system Of government. is
butt upon tho bedrock OF local self
government. Whatever impairs the
energy, the initiative, the effective
mss, il You please, Of state and
lo.sl government Of purely state
and local affairs tends to destroy
thc capacity of our people for self
government and to undermine our
governmental structuro.'
These arc the carefully selected
words OF q highly trained lawyer
who is accustomed to use language
in an exact way. They confirm the
view, for 10 one has ever accused
the Governor Of trying to win popu-
larity by irsincerc expression, that
fundamentally he is one of the fore
most supporters Of the home rule
principle that the state contains. lie
is a friend TO it in basic way
considers it as one of the great
essentials to wholesome Amcrican-
ism.
Then how happens il that the
Governor is attacked as an anti
home ruler, SO far as the City of
New York is concerned? It IS be
cause there is ono limitation on home
rule which he sees he must respect.
A locality must itself genuinely
want home rule. 1t is useless to
bring the horse to water if he will
not drink.
New York City since the days Of
Aaron Burr has never really wanted
home rule. 4 political organization
has been established here which be-
tween elections citizens arc not will
ing to trust. SO has come the habit
Of running to Albany. There is
dual control, with state authority a
check on city authority. Such is the
condition both when Tanmany is in
and when Tammany is out. A source
Of New York Central income is the
carrying up the river of Tammany
delegations which seek charter
amendments or new laws to their
personal advantage. So Governor
Miller, as q homo ruler, is wearicd
