BORAH BLAMES
CONGRESS FOR
J. BAD CONDITIONS
TARIFF AND BONUS BILL BOTH
WRONG. SHOULD NOT HAVE
BEEN BROUGHT CUT AT THIS
TIME.

Observation-Disclosures owes its
present plight to its disposition to
drift and not to any defect inherent
in the American governmental system.
is the opinion Of Senator Borah of
Idaho.
Foremost of the republican pro-
gressives and one of the recognized
constitutional authorities OF the SEN
ate, Senator Borah startled his col
leagues twice this week--once by as
sailing the tendency TO centralixe like
the "satrapies of Rome and a second
tlme by attacking the republican ma
Jority Tor what he terms its hayward
course in legislation.
Asked today to ampIify his views on
the troubles of congress, he declared
lack OF party program primarily re-
sponsible, in his Judgment, for the
present muddled situation. Unless the
government, through the majority
party, gets a goal and strives with
some ultimate purpose in view, moth
ing can be accomplished, because there
will "be no place to CO." he suggested.
Not Fault of system.
"The deplorahIe state into which we
have fallen is not the fault of our gov
ernmental system" Borah asserted,
As n matter of fact our system of
government works almost To perfec-
with "A party porgram or policy to
work upon. The whole difficulty in
this congress is the lack Of such pro-
gram or policy.
Take the soldiers bonus bin as an
example. A majority of the members
OF the finance committee OF the SEN
ate know that this bill should not be
brought out. Nevertheless, they let IL
drift out. Almost everyone realizes
that this was no time to revise the
tariff. The economic conditions ex-
isting at the present time are such a.
to foredoom that effort to failure. II
Is impossible to produce anything APP
preaching a scientific tariff.
"And so it goes--driftl II In inn
possible to get anywhere in congress
and il IL impossible to get negative
or affirmative declaration from the
White House. Conditions jusa move
along until we get into this hopeless
and absolutely deplorable mess.
How to Mold Public Opinion.
After all, il in public opinion that
moves the government. But you've
got to have "a party program or policy
behind which public opinion can be
moulded.
Il have never observed that it was
difficult to arouse opinions on ques-
tions of policy. People get the infor-
nation necessary to reach their con-
clusions they make their desires
known pretty we'll. That is what we
have to have--a program or policy
and then let public opinion decide
Senator LaFollette's recent advo-
eacy of an amendment TO the eonstitu-
ton giving congress final power TO de-
termine the application of its own
laws. denying the United States Su-
preme court the final right to declare

has won Borahs approval. While in
Idaho the senator has made no formal
statement on the subject. he remarked
today that "he did not believe there

SIR GILBERT PARKER, FAMOUS
 WRITER, WILL VISIT ARIZONA

Sir Gilbert Parker, the noted Eng fish author, will spend several months at Castle Hot Springs after Christ mas. Arizona is fast gaining the dis tinction of being the premier resort for wornout and tubercular people of prominence throughout the world. Zane Gray, Harold Bell Wright and scores of others prominent in the lit erary and art world seek to regain their health in the salubrious climate of the Baby State, and what is still more interesting is the fact that they are practically all successful in the attainment of their desires, especially so when they remain several months of each year within the borders of the state.
 In the White Mountains, south of Hol6rook, where is said to be situated one of the best fishing and game sec tions of the nation, hundreds spend the summer months among the tall pines. Then, when in winter a warm CT section is required, they go to the southern portions of the state, meet ing the desideratum. Truly the years to come are bound to advertise our climate and bring within our borders a myriad of visitors and health seek CTS from among the most noted and people of the world.

OEilON FINDS A BREATHING CAVE" NEAR PRESCOTT THAT
 IS NOT LOCALLY KNOWN

A clipping from Cleveland, Ohio, received at Whipple Barracks by Chief Nurse Miss Dunn tells of a "breathing cave" in the vicinity of Prescott of which no local people seem to have any knowledge. If such an attraction exists it is hoped that any one knowing it's location will send the information in to the Evening Courier that the knowledge might be more widely disseminated.
 The clipping is as follows:
 Near Prescott, Arizona, there is a curious natural phenomenon known as a breathing cave. It is in the lava formation on a high tableland near Prescott. In a wall of this cave is a crevice which is probably three inches wide and several feet long. A visitor stands close to this crack. He feels a current of air rushing out of it.. This is not so strange. But if he waits long enough he will notice that the direction of the current has changed, and the air is being drawn into the Crevice.
 "Thc people of the neighborhood have many theories to account for the change in the direction of the air cur rent. A subterranean stream is given as the probable cause. Just how the flow of an underground river could cause the direction of the air current to be reversed is not easily perceived"

STATES BONDED DEBT
 LEARNED FIRST TIME

For the first time in its history, Arizona learned the extent of its bond ed debt, through completion of a statement by the Arizona Tax Com mission in compliance with an order from the annual special session of the legislature.
 The total bonded debt of the state and all of its political subsidiaries is $42,6G2,100 the statement shows.
 The order from the legislature came as a result of great confusion when an effort was being made to draw the now famous financial bill which re- pealed every continuing fund of the laws back to territorial days. Sena- tor H. A. Elliott, of Cochise county, father of the financial bill finally put a motion for the tax commission to get a total of the bonded debt from each county.
 The data was gathered with great difficulty, according to statement by the commission. Under the laws of Arizona the direct state debt is linn tied in amount and the greater part of the indebtedness had been contracted by the different counties.
 Following is a table showing the proportion of the debt contracted di- rectly by the state and the portion of

BULL AND A FORD FIGHT IT
 OUT ON PRESCOTT ROAD

The terrors of motoring in Yavapai county. are not confined to rough and muddy roads, according to a traveller who last night drove from Ashfork to Prescott by way of Puntenney, but include the dangers of being attacked by wild animals.
 Leaving Ashfork in the early eve ming, this Prescott bound traveller said that he reached the Puntenney coun- try about o'clock, when it was dark, and was driving rather slow ly for that reason.
 Along side of the road, short dis tance ahead of him, he saw what he supposed to be COW and paid no par ticular attention to it.
 As he approached the animal and was about thirty feet from it, he saw it lows 1its head and the next instant felt yE: that nearly threw the car, which was a roadster, over on it's side.
 The attacking animal was a bull which lad charged the side of the machine wrecking the fender and mud guard on one side, but otherwise not injuring the machine.
 Not waiting to see whether or not the bull had been hurt by his assault, the motorist stepped on the gas," he said, and came to Prescott. - Pres colt Courier.

AND TAME TABBY
 RAISE \ PECULIAR FAMILY

A bulletin issued by the Coronado forest office last summer contained a very colOrful account of the visit of a ranger to a mountain homestead where the homesteader had, as a house pet, an animal whose mother was tabby cat and whose father was a wild mountain polccat. The de- tails of this story were absolutely true and related that the pole and cat mix ture has two complete sets of ears, one set like his mothers and one like his fathers. The animal, according to the ranger, had nearly all the assets of both sides of his family, including a peculiar odor when he was aroused and the purr of a kitten.
 So much controversy was stirred up by the sale of the mestizo cat that a scientist connected with the research department of a bureau at Washing ton investigated the tale of the cat and skunk and verified the facts, say ing that such a cross was possible.

45 STATES TO MAKE MERRY
 XMAS FOR FIT. WHIPPLE BOYS

Through cooperation of the gov ernors of the various states of the union, arrangements have been com pleted whereby practically every pa tient at Whipple Barracks will receive a gift from the people of his own home state on Christmas morning, &C., cording to prediction made by A. w. McMillen, director of Red Cross ser vice at the government hospital.
 Letters are pouring in on us from all parts of the nation," said Mir. Me Millen, land we believe this will truly be the 'melriest Christmas The scores of responses to our appeal in dicate how keen an interest the Amer ican people take in their disabled sol dierS."
 Late in November q census of the hospital was taken by the Red Cross workers to determine the number of states represented in the patient body and the number of men from each state. It was found that there are men at Whipple from 45 of the 48 states, from the District of Columbia and from three foreign lands.
 With this information at hand, let ters were drawn up by MT. McMillen and ". G. Greenwood of the Yavapai chapter of the Red Cross and mailed to the governors of the 45 states rep resented at the hospital. Up to date replies have been received from all but eleven of the governors and each answer has been in the affirmative.

APACHE HOTEL BURNS AT.
 SNOWFLAKE - TOTAL LOSS

A fire which started from the fur mace of the Apache Hotel building Tuesday night, completely destroyed the structure and the entire contents.
 The fire was first detected about 12:30 a. m., and the town was soon aroused. By the time the first help arrived at the scene the flames could be seen leaping from the basement. Water being at such a distance it soon became futile to try to quench the spreading flames.
 The fire quickly spread throughout the structure making it impossible to save any part of the furniture.
 A light south wind hurried the de structive flames so that it was only a few minutes until the entire struc- ture was in smoldering coals. The neighboring houses were closely watched for any sparks that might start another fire.
 The building was the property of J. w. Sayan. It has been stated that the place was insured for the amount of S2200. It was well furnished with first grade furniture, part of which IS also said to be insured.
 Reports say that around $2OO in currency burned with the rest of the property. This money belonged to Mrs. Barnard who, with her son, has occupied the place for some timc.- Snowflake Herald.

AWAKENING OF ARIZONA
 TO VALUE OF TOURISTS

PRESCOTT.-The Yavapai County
 Chamber of Commerce, as an organi-
 zation, is determined to divert some
 of the immense tourist travel to the Grand Canyon down into Arizona at
 large. Too few citizens of Arizona realize that the Grand Canyon is not
 only state wonder, but world won i der and attracts more tourists to it 1 than all of the combined efforts of
 cities in Arizona. During the year ! just entIed there were registered of i ficially by the department, S4,700 vis- ] itors. At Flagstaff's city park and camp grounds, from May to November
 there was an actual registration of
 3,SS6 cars with passengers numbering 19,616. A part of the month of No vember showed a registration of 125
 cars and 724 people and this in the so-called "cold season." October, the heaviest month, showed 841 cars with 4,424 people.
 Believing that the state as a whole
 does not comprehend this fact and that
 Prescott, Jerome, Phoenix, Tucson, Douglas, Nogales, Bisbee, Yuma are all in the identical position-nOt a fraction of this immense business gO- ing through any of these cities.
 Iavapai county, through it's high way commission, is now spending it's .$l 100000 on the improvement of its highways. The Ashfork- Prescott Hassayampa-W Wickenburg main north and south state highway is now fully under way. The AShfOrk road con- struction is being pushed to compile tion. This is the designated main north and south highway, which will tap the Old Trails, with it's immense travel, and divert at least a part into Arizona. This road continues through Prescott, down the beautiful pine-cov- cred hills of the Hassayampa to Wickenburg, making not only short, delightful trip from the Grand Can yOn to Phoenix possible, but opening up the entire county of Yavapai with its marvellous scenic attractions and placing the Salt River Valley and southern Arizona within easy reach of the cool pine breezes of northern Arizona.
 It will be one of the finest highways in the entire state and has received the endorsement of the present admin istr.tion as well as of Governor-eIect Hunt. The Clarkdale chapter of the American Association of Engineers, the Prescott chapter, the city of Jer ome, the Yavapai County Highway commission, State Engineer Maddock, the Verde District Commercial club, the forestry officials, the Yavapai County Chamber of Commerce, in fact 1 every organization in Yavapai county ! and every interested state, federal and 1 forestry official having in charge fed eral aid have given their approval to this wonderland highway.
 Southern Arizona should study this as it affects their particular localities and when the Arizona Good Roads as- sociation adopts a policy it should | start with the Grand Canyon, taking in the east and west of Arizona, thence south to the border and an out let to the coast.
