"Wst Nurssso in Business

Forbes Magazine usually goes to the bottom of
the things takes under consideration but we think
it has failed to do so in article in the June
Der, "Why Wet Nurses for Big Business?" Moved
by the appointment OF Judge Landis to control base
bali, the selection of Will Hays to take charge Of
the esmoving picture industry and the that the
vast building industry has applied to Franklin D.
Roosevelt former assistant secretary Of the navy
to it's relief. the magazine inquiries, Have
American business men, even the biggest of them,
lost their self-reance? Why this appointment of
wet to take charge of different industries"
Forbes Magazine is not satisfied with the expia-
nation that has been given in each that the
industry was losing the confidence of the pubce and
that some heroic measure necessary This ex-
PLANTATION the Magazine finds uncomplimentary to
big business and it that if this sort of thing
keeps we shall have super bosses over all big
business if not selected by business itself appointed
by the government.
But this explanation is not the whole expla-
nation. Nor does it apply in the degree to each
of the businesses which have found it necessary to
summon wet nurses. 1t was true that in the case
of the movies and baseball both brought under
popular condemnation, the former by slower degrees
and the latter by single scandal. The former was
threatened with ruinous censorship and the latter
with loss box office receipts The building indus
try has been scandalized for quarter of century
and in of cities has been involved in criminal
prosecutions.
We do not think that either of the three comes
under the head of big business. There has been no.
body at the head of any of them No trained busi-
ness man of recognized ability has been in charge
any branch of them. The movie industry and the
baseball industry simply outgrew the who had
into them wild. is true that a time
came when it necessary to restore public conf
denee in them and for that purpose each turned
not TO business man, not to expert in either
industry, but to in whom the people had un-
shaken confidence and men Of proved executive
ability.
These are only three industries which by
of their peculiar character and lack of organization
within Themselves found it adYisUb.~ to caL III help
Arizona republican., 1922-06-13

to save them from themselves Other lines yet TO
come may find themselves in the same fix.
But big business never had and needs no wet
nurse oil industry. the steel industry the mining
industry, the railroad industry have never needed
the services of wet nurse. though one was forced
upon the railroads with disastrous results both
to the roads and the public The men in charge OF
these industries have always kept control of them
They have controlled their growth and have never
allowed them to grow faster than they themselves
were growing.

Braley Dd1ly Poem
FISHIN
BY RERToN eRALEY

I've heard the anglers tell about
Their days of true delight,
When pickerel or bass or trout
Did nothing else but bite;
That would be fine, must admit,
But with me, up to date,
To fish has meant to sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait.
I've heard of fish who grabbed the hook
With fierce and famished zest,
But on each fishing trip I took
! found the fish at rest;
I'd use my cunning and my wit
And every sort of bait,
Yet still I'd sit and sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait.
An aching back, a blistered nose,
Peeled by the blazing SUM-
Are well enough, perhaps. for those
Who think that fishings fun;
But am deeply bored by it,
In fact, l frankly hate
To sit and sit and sit and sit
And wait and wait and wait

Letters to the
Editor
Reversed

REVERSED
To the Editor:
I call your attention to your report
in today's issue of the case OF the
State of Arizona VS.. Tom Smith. in
which you say the supreme court re-
versed the superior court OF Navajo
county. This is not correct. The su-
preme court affirmed the superior
court of Navajo county. I argued this
case for the appellee and | convinced
the supreme court that the superior
court of Navajo county was correct
and the supreme court took my view
of 1t and sustained the superior court
of Navajo county.
This was a novel and peculiar case
and | took quite particular interest
in il. and because of the interest of
the public, the case was quite inter-
esting indeed. I make this explana-
ton that you may correct your report
and show the fact to be that the su-
preme court affirmed the decision of
the lower court and did not reverse it.
In fairness to Hon. j. K. Crosby of
Holbrook, Ariz., the trial judge.
trust that you viii make a different
report than the one appearing in your
paper of today.
Yours very truly,
WELDON j. BAILEY.
(There was an inadvertent error in
the story in the use of the word re
versed." But the story went into the
case at some length and made it plain
that the opinion was in favor OF the
appellee, SMITH.

Clean Up

Something never emanates from
nothing There must be a beginning
and the person or persons who start
any kind of reform may expect 10
make enemies. People have always
been shown to change from accus-
toned ways. however bad those ways
might be. It's taken nearly hundred
years of slow, tireless effort to get rid
of open saloons and a ceaseiess fight
against bootlegging. What would be
the conditions in Phoenix today II the
officials would fold their hands and
sit and wait for someone TO make a
complaint or take and show thcm
why the town would be full of whis-
key joints? Now. we have a sanitary
law, with certain specifications ara
penalties. AT least one-haf of the
people ignore it altogether. In GER
tain parts of the city there is hardly
any attempt to comply with the ofdl-
nance and this condition is responsible
for a great deal of disease ana SICK
ness. It's a condition that actually
exists here in open violation. NO trou-
Bile to find. Violators there are every
where, but of all the arrests for all
kinds of misdeneanors no one has
ever heard of any arrests or prosecu-
corrals in this city where a great
many animals are kept. These places
are seldom ever cleaned out; manure
several inches deep all over. This Gre
ates a bad odor and when it gets wet
in hot weather it soon breeds mil
lions of flies; those flies carry dis
ease from one person to another,
some with exposed garbage and filth.
We are now in the midst of a Sc
rious condition, an epidemic of small
pox 1t seems to me that if we ever
needed a cleanup it is now. The city
has the men and teams. We should
have men make house to house in
spection and warn violators, and IL
they refuse to comply, file com
plant. If lots of those don't care

it would be repeated there wourt te a
wonderful change take place IN this
city. and it would take place right
now, and several tons of rubbish and
old cans that are lying around loose
would be removed, and garbage cans
would be put in use. instead of boxes
and tubs. IT. w. WATSON.
