The Devastating Deer of the Huaohueas

The story of the ranchman in the foothills of the
Huachucas who has appealed to the office of the
game warden to assist him in saving his crops
from devastating deer which down in increas-
ing droves from the mountains brings back to an
incident of twentysx years ago. in the trial of the
famous 'stumpage" of the United States against
the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company.
The company had been sued by the government for

which the Huachuca deer laying waste.
The defense of the company generally that the
timber cut for mining operations, defense
which if established, would have been sufficient.
But to establish it, it necessary also to show
that the ground from which the lumber was taken
was mineral" and not agricultural" There was
very volumnous testimony this point. One Of
the witnesses for the defense was ranchman who
swore that he had tried farming without success in
that region. He couldn't raise anything. For agri-
cultural purposes the ground n. e.
On CROSS examination the discouraged farmer
stuck to that his agricultural operations been
proftess but he admitted that his crop failure

government by Hon. E. E. Ellinwood, then United

The Swing Bill

The request of the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce to the chambers Of commerce in this state
for support of the Swing bill has proved to be only
notification to our chambers to study the bill and
get ready for vigorous resistance. The people OF
Arizona may not be agreed as to the manner IN
which the of the Colorado are to be disposed
of but they are agreed that they do not want them
disposed under the provisions of the Swing bill
as it is at present understood.
This bill looks to the construction of a great
dam at Boulder Canyon and the diversion of the
water from that dam by waterway to be known
s the "All American canal, but part of it Ari-
zonan since it is to be constructed on the Californian
side of the river BY "All American suppose is
meant Southern Californian since to the residents
of that part of the state Southern California is all
there is of America really worth while The All
American way may also be intended TO lnciude
Southern California and that part of Mexico just
below the line which it is proposed irrgate from
the waters of the Colorado and which understood
is now owned by residents of Los Angeles
There is a wide diversity of opinion among Ar-
zonans as to where the development of the Colorado
shah begin: whether dam shall first be built at
Boulder Canyon or at of the numerous sites
above. There is also difference of opinion as to
whether the development of water for irrigation
should be the primary object whether it should
be the development of power, which would be the
source of vast and which would be employed
in pumping for irrigation for lands which can
not be reached by gravity water.
But those differences, which exist chiefly because
of lack of accurate information concerning many fea-
lures of the various proposed development plans, will
be adjusted in time.
Meanwhile the people of the other five states
above have opinions which must be taken into ac-
count. But the thing upon which there is al
ready crystallization opinion is that the Colo

orderly development of the entire BIZ
luminous coal industry and tend to
foment discord and unrest in all other
industries.
Recognition of the rights of the
workers to join the union will not
result necessarily in the unionization
of the non-union fields.
1.-The United Mine Workers of
America is a lawful organization. ii
does not seek the appropriation of
private property. and ii is not in a
conspiracy with the operators of the
Central Competitive Field against the
mont union operators in West Nir-
ginia.
THE non-union operators of West
Virginia are in a conspiracy with the
United States Steel Corporation, the
Pennsylvania railroad, and closely
affiliated financial and business in
terests. in the so-called open shop
movement which aims to break down
and destroy all trade unions"
Both sides advance solutions of the
difficulty which are quite as much at
variance as their general contentious.
According to the operators the only
solution is to give them a free hand
in conducting their business and op-
Grating their mines on their own
terms and conditions. and to bar the
union from any attempt to organize
the workers in the non-union mines,
On the other hand the union lead
ers say that the only solution is to
give the miners in the non-unlon
fields the unquestioned and una
briged right of union membership
and legitimate trade union activity.
With the foregoing presentation of
oil of lso no t-fi a
Immediately interested in the conflict
accepted as fairly accurate, the pub
lie may be assured of the further fact
that it has been and is a costly
struggle. The miners union has eX-
pended millions of dollars in organi-
zation work, in supporting strikers
and their families who were evicted
from their homes. and in fighting the
various legal proceedings in the
courts.
There has been no estimate of the
aggregate expense to tue operators,
but their bill of costs must necessari-
ly be almost as large as that of the
union In addition there is the drain
upon the taxpayers of West Virginia
and the Federal Government. as well
as a large if somewhat intangible eX-
pense to the general public due TO
increased cost of coal and the effect
of the controversy upon all other in
dustry.
That the struggle will be prolonged
indefinitely is apparent from the un-
yielding determination expressed by
leaders on both sides. Unfortunately,
from the public viewpoint. it is
fight that cannot be fought to fin
ish with a decision that the defeated
must accept Accordingly the public
not only may be unable to decide who
is right and who is wrong in West
Virginia, but may never see victor
emerge from the fray. Meanwhile,
the public pays and pays.

The Ideal

We struggling upward. We are looking
toward the stars That is all right and it should
be but at the same time we should look where We
are placing our feet and we should bear in mind
that struggling toward the unattainable which,
however is not unapproachable The nearer get
10 it, the better for us. Perfection is beyond our
reach for we are held back by the bonds of i'm
perfection
We may entertain ideals but we should be aware
that they are not susceptible of complete realization.
And then, our ideals not always really ideals.
We sometimes think crookedly. 1t is often better
for us that our visions should not materialize.
Improvement, betterment day by day. is the most
we can accomplish. Those who strive for that with
their feet always the ground get somewhere.
The reformer who mounts aoft Daedalian wings
ends in disappointment for himself and discourage
ment for those who have been led to believe in him.
piodder upward goes farther than the flyer and
always holds his ground, giving courage, strength
and faith to his followers.
The true reformer points the way which but for
him the plodder would not have seen. The plodder,
being practical goes straight along it to the next
station. The reformer, though, is generally doomed
like Moses only to view the promised land from afar
The plodder is without illusion. Lacking the
long vision of the reformer, his view of details is
clearer He perceves difficulties which have escaped
the eye of the deast and difficulties cannot be
come until they have been recognized.

Rail Executives
Say Leaders Are
Inspiring Strike

CHICAGO, June S.-Declaring that
there is no talk of a strike among
railway workers, the presidents of six
Chicago roads last night issued a
joint statement charging that all
threats of awalkout were being in
spired by union leaders.
The statement, which was signed
by H. E. Byram of the Chicago. Mil

Burlington; w. II. Finley, the North
western: j. z. German, Rock Island .
C. II. Markham, Illinois Central, and
S. NJ. FELTON,, Chicago Great West
ern. said in part:
Threats of strike, made by lead
ers of the railroad labor unions, are
appearing with such frequency that
the time seems opportune for ques-
tioning the soundness of their talk.
There is very good reason for
doubling whether the men them
selves, that is the railroad employees,
really are in sympathy with resist
ance to the decisions of the United
States railway labor board.
"The truth is that the men have
been expecting a reduction in their
wages and have made or are making
preparations to meet the new scale.
There is no talk of strike among the
men,"

History
occupied,

The pupils of the Medill School of Journalism
are discussing the question whether Henry Ford

of editorials by the students agree that Mr..
Ford was not far from right And then the question
becomes Has bunk served better than the truth the
whole truth and nothing but the truth would have
done?
We think that there is good deal of bunk
in history. but generally it is harmless History is
guilty of omissions, but the omissions are not for
the most part essential 1t does not really make any
difference whether Weem's story of George Washing
ton and his hatchet is true not 1t can have no
bearing upon the subsequent public career of Wash

Aaron Burr alter any important accepted fact in
which Washington had part. 1t is not really i'm
portant whether Washington was the kind Of man

Two Supplementary Facts Are Rati-

March 2S.-With action on the four power Pacific treaty completed by ratification of the two supplemental agreements the sen ate was prepared to begin debate to- day on the naval limitation treaty es- tablishing 5-5--3 capital ship ratio for the United States. Great Britain and Japan. This pact WIS called up yeOterday after the senate had finally untangled it's preliminary difficulties over the four power treaty supplements. Administration man. agers expect to see it ratified by an almost unanimous vote by the end of the week.
 The two supplementary agreements to the four power pact were ratified by a unanimous vote yesterday after parliamentary hitch had been over come by joining the two together. The supplement excluding purely do- mestc issues from those which may be brought before the four power conferences" was attached as a reservation" to the other supple ment, itself in the form of treaty defining the geographical scope of the four power pact so as not to include the Japanese homeland. Treaty op- ponents joined in giving approval to the supplements because they inter- preted them as curtailing the opera tion of the treaty.
