ators, appropriate this money. One
 corporation alone controls every na-
 tional park in the United States. Ma
 turally they want camps built by gov
 ernment money at remote places so
 that they can put on stage lines and drive automobiles from points two and three hundred miles away, when the government expends money to build camps and roads for them. That is the idea. That is what is behind this.
 Senators, the sooner we wake up to this condition the quicker we will get down to earth where we belong. We have spent too much money already for "isms" and fads and chasing rain bows; and so far is am concerned, if can stop it, am going to do it, and want to begin right now.
 "The idea of our squandering the peoples money just to please a fad of Mir. Mather or any other man who chooses to be the representative of the Grand Canyon national park or any other park is ridiculous. I say to you ithout egotism, I hope, that 1 have been over nearly every park in this country. I have gone on horse back and on foot, and I know the Southwest, l believe, as well as any other living man on earth, and it is about time we brought a halt to this idea of having somebody come in here and appropriate our public domain for such isms' and fads. It is wrong, Senators, and I am going to help stop it if can. Will you help me?
 Y, Tt not only applies to this, but it applies to other things as well. I could sit around here and never say a word, which at first thought would seem sensible, as this is big ap- propriation going to my state and not often do senators oppose appropria- tions going their way, and perhaps what I am saying today will not meet with your approval; but l am ex- pressing my honest convictions, and I serve notice that I shall go into this subject very thoroughly before this body with substantiating facts and figures within the very near future and show the people of this country the real workings of this national park service"

ENGLISH CLOTH IS IN
 DEMAND IN GERMANY

Smugglers are making immense profits by bringing English cloth for mems suits past the customs line to the tailors of Berlin. Their illicit earnings are made possible by the big German import duties on that class of material.
 The tailoring establishments are visited almost daily by sailors or other ship employees with huge rolls of English tweeds and other fabrics, in one-piece suits, which they have succeeded in purchasing at English ports and bringing in duty free. One of these smugglers, New York man, said some English cloth dealers are making regular business of supply ing the smuggling trade.
 The cloth is sold at one-fourth to one-fifth the price it would cost if the import duty was paid. Tailors are quick to purchase the fabrics. The smugglers also visit foreigners and of- fer their wares for sale.
 The smugglers go quite openly about their business. They will be seen walking the streets with big bundles on their backs. A few of the more venturesome have even offered the goods for sale on the sidewalks, where they find ready takers. A French sailor who had been smuggling for several months said he was going to retire from the "game" having made enough money to open a shop of his own in Paris.

ministration it was made into na-
 tional monument, and about two years ago 1t was made a national park.
 "We have in Coconino county, con- meeting the Grand Canyon national park, two county roads. They have been used for years. They have been maintained by the county. They are in excellent shape and have been kept in good condition. We have first class railroad accommodations, by which you can get on Pullman car at Chi cago and go directly through to the Grand Canyon. Since the creation of the Grand Canyon national park some $150,O00 has been expended there by the management of the park, and I want to say to you here today, Mir. President, that you can not find where they have done anything worth while; yet you can see where there has been much from this expenditure of $150,- 900 foolishly wasted. Nf.s
 q contend that these appropria- tions are unnecessary, for the reason that we have every facility in the world today to visit the Grand Can yon national park. We have rail- road that is not excelled by any other railroad in the United States -- the Santa Fe system. We have fine high ways across the State of Arizona. We have two beautiful rim roads that have been constructed by the county and the forest service up to the Grand Canyon. Now they propose to go on the north side of the rim, where it is nearly 200 miles from any railroad, and open up another camp, where they can bring tourists from the Union Pacific or the railroads to the north of there by stage line down to the rim of the Grand Canyon on the north side, where most of this money Is to be expended.
 Understand, Senators, l do not care to talk on the subject, except that l want to make statement that l know I am absolutely right in mak- ing as one who helped develop this entire country and who certainly un- derstands the condition; and there is no more excuse for our appropriating the public's money for this purpose than there is for my jumping off the Capitol tonight. I believe that if we are going to conserve the peoples interests and take care of the peoples money as we should, we should not make foolish appropriation merely to satisfy somebody's whims or pet ideas who think they can do wonder ful things by building certain pleasure camps on the public doman, remote from any railroad, where no one can come in contact with them; where they can go out perhaps in a years time and bring in 10 or 15 or 20 men with money to look over the greatest scenic wonder of the world. I con- tend that we can see the greatest scenic wonder of the world today from the. south rim of the Grand Canyon. You can go there at your ease; you can go there in any way you want to, by vehicle, horseback, automobile, Pull man car, special train, or otherwise; and why should we in the United States senate today appropriate this money when it is not needed?
 E q am sure that if the people of this country knew as much as I do about the Grand Canyon and knew that we do not need this appropria- tion, you would not as body of sen-
