PUBLICITY A NECESSITY

The Coconino Sun hits the nail on the head when it states that the repeal of the law requir- ing the publication of the delinquent tax list has had much to do with the large amount of delln- uuency AS an indication of what real property delinquency means we Cae attention to sum- mons in The Tombstone Epitaph, that covers two siX-cOlumn pages of names. Each one of these names stands for delinquent taxpayer and these taxpayers are not all the delinquents, as service must be made on those who are within the jurisdiction of the court. MaricOpa county has delinQuent property taxpayers list of near ly fifty per cent of the tax roll. It may not be true that these would save their "face" had the list been made public but many of them un- dOubtedly would have gone to some extreme be- fore allowing their delinquency to become public.
 Over in Nevada, not only is the delinquent list of taxpayers published, but also the list of tax payers and the amount of their assessment. It is believed that by publishing this list neighbors may report those who have been left off. Pub licity is the cure for many things, and the peo- pie ought to be given some knowledge of the con- dtionS of their counties at all times, which IS not the case under our present law. The same publicity should have been given in the matter of proposed laws and constitutional amendments.
 Along the line of this publicity: The people will note that there is not the big howl against the Standard Oil company that was in the air a number of years ago. Why? Because the Stan dard Oil is now ging out all kinds of publicity. Following suit IS the Union Pacific railroad This company is trying to get matters strengthened out in the matter of the recent adverse decision of the U s. supreme court, divorcing it from the Southern Pacific railroad The people are be- ing advised as to just what that division amounts 10 to them and the railroad and at the same time it is showing the people of Utah and the other states through which it operates what benefit the road is to each and every community. This is the switch to the conmense sense of publicity. If publicity is necessary to enlighten the people on one thing it is also a necessity for the other So let us go back to the good old days and keep the public informed.-Mohave Miner.

PENNY WISE POUND FOOLISH

In speaking of The Suns recent editorial rel ative to delinquent taxes, the Tombstone Pros- pector, official paper for Cochse county says:
 'The editorial, from the pen of Col Fred Breen, reflects some startling and truthful facts regarding the non-payment of taxes in many counties of the state. ..- .na sJ B.
 "Cochise county, however, has instituted suits for the collection of back taxes, beginning with the year 1915. One suit has been entered for the year 1915, before the five-year limit had expired and recently another suit coverings the years 1916, 1917 and 1918 has been put under way. Even after this action, many thousands of dol lars will not be collected, and with the additional cost of clerical work and printing, the county will be the loser to certain extent.
 When legislators want to make what they are pleased to imagine is 8 great hit with the deer peepuP they take rap at the newspapers and shout loud and Justify over the great econom- ical beat they have scored but with the lapse of a short time the boomerang comes back with a dull, sckening thud, and the County of Co., chise can testify to the folly of the law enacted by the legislators who took rap at the news papers. ,-.u.. .s ..
 Political bunk and economy are two distinct things The temporary saving of few dollars that later grows into the loss of thousands may spell economy in the minds of petty politicians, but the great economical stroke of gone and forgotten legislature has cost this one county pretty price. -.
 "The legislators responsible for the present situation may have been sincere. Let us grant that they were. Even so, what they intended as economy has proven to be waste. The rap at the newspapers has come to be nothing more than slam at the taxpayers pocketbook. The greater part of those legislators have run the short course of political prestige, and no news papers are known to have gone out of existence because the delinquent tax lists are no longer published.
 What applies to the delinquent tax list ap- plies to other phases of county business. We have legislators today who are not well enough versed in broad-minded business methods to know real and genuine economy when they see it. They can not or do not care to see further ahead than temporary moment of "glory" ov- CT having knocked 30 cents from printing bfll. If that saving" later develops into $30.00 loss to the county or state why should they worry? If they can garner few votes while their tenn porary saving is successfully put over,' their end has been accomplished.
 "The honest taxpayer, the man who shoulders his tax burden without murmur, is the man who pays for the false economy so brilliantly played up by peanut politicians.

EDUCATION AND WISDOM

The president of an eastern university says that only l5 per cent of the people have suff- cient intelligence to get through college A few more educational nuts like this man could make It impossible for any per cent to get through col lege, also make those who were nutty enough to get through utterly worthless to the rest of man. kind. Propagating an era of so-caed educated damphools won't help either real education or the world to any extent. A lot of common horse sense injected into education along at about this stage of the worlds progress would be of much value to present as well as future generations. A whole lot of our past education has already been discarded in the light of newly discovered facts. Many an educated man isn't wise.

DIVINE LOVE FIRE" INTERMITTENT?"

! There's no use talking, more women judges are needed. The supreme court in Michigan invalidated contract signed by divorced woman who gave her daughter away few weeks prev ious to her second marriage, and the court said
 Because the divine fire had reach ed her heart, and she was in that de- lirious, irresponsible period, preceding her marriage to the man to whom she had given her heart"
 Mother: Did the maid shout for help when daddy was kissing her?
 Willie (the eavesdropper): should say not. She didn't need any help.
 Some one who has observed the methods of successful men says: "When you fight or work don't make a fuss. The hen cackles only after she has laid an egg. The noise and sizzle of locomotive are not force. All force is silent. The hee-haw of a mule is startling, but not as dan gerous as his hind legs. Bear in mind that it is an empty wagon that makes the most noise when in motion. The noise of a drum is due to the fact that there is nothing in it.
 Elder Watkins of Muddy Hollow, just back from the city, was telling his wife of the church he had attend ed.
 "Did you know any of their songs?"I asked she.
 "No," replied the elder. "they didn't sing anything but anthems"
 "Anthemsw exclaimed his wife, "what on earth is an anthem?"
 "Well," answered the elder, q can't tell you just exactly, but if I'd say to you, Betsy, the cows are in the corn,' that wouldn't be an anthem. But if I'd say: 'Betsey-B Betsy Betsy, the cows--the cows, the Holstein COW, the muley COW, the Jersey, the spotted cow-all the cows-are in-are in are in the corn corn corn. An men!' why that'd be an anthem"

THE BLOCKHEAD BLOC SYSTEM

According to repress reports from Washing ton Senator Ashurst of Arizona is a member of the La Toilette progressive bloc in the senate, whatever that may mean. The adjective "pro- gressive," used politically, has been made to cov- CT wide scole of legislation of it decided ly bad. In general we do not favor legislation by "bocs." Senator Ashurst belongs in the demo- cratic bloc, committed to the platform of "equal rights for all, special privileges for none" That "boc" should be good enough for the senator from Arizona without chasing after new political
 gods.-Clifton Copper Era #s

COLORADO GREATEST ASSET OF
 NATION-HOOVER

Among the high lights of Secretary Hoover's recent speech at Phoenix are found some inter- eSting declarations. He says:
 "Ihe Colorado river compact which has reach ed the stage of ratification or rejection by the legislatures of the seven states involved, nques- tiOnably is the greatest single asset in undeveop-, ed resources in America.
 What is done with it now will affect not only our lives, but the lives of our chdren's children Ours is a responsibility which seldom falls to the lot of any one generation"
 We are at turning point in the development of the great vest" MT. Hoover sad "We have reached a new crisis in our national development
 "The problems our fathers faced have been solved; new and greater problems have arisen, tasks more difficult which require the same courage and determination of the pioneers who went before us."
 If this compact fails of ratification now, it will mean delay, perhaps delay of genera tion. But it will take more than such setback to ruin the vest
 The Colorado river, according to MT. Hoover, offers a unique opportunity for the storage of water"
 There is no parallel in the world, for the vol tune of water which it is possible to catch and hold for future use"

ROAD REPORTS A HARD PROPOSITION

About the hardest thing Flagstarr has to cope with is advising tourists east and west of actual road conditions through here during the winter months. When tourist hits a snow storm here in November that SnoWstOrm is advertised worldwide until the following March. That one snow storm settles the whole "cat hop" until the following summer, regardless of the fact that this section of the country is like every other snow storms come and go; roads are bad few days, then good for weeks. They may be block ed for time. When there is such a condition truthful reports are sent out by wire to points east and west, advising tourists of actual condi- tiOns. There is an honest disposition to treat tourists as we would be treated, but the hang over reports weeks old seem to gain momentum as they grow older and there is disposition to hang on to oldest and worst road reports in some quarters, which almost permits one to say that there are people who do not wish the truth to become known. So far as road report" is con- cemed, it is much the same as the description of dog fight described by dozen different eye WitneSses-therell be no two alike.
 Sometimes, however, we are inclined to believe there isn't half as much lying about roads in gar ages as there is of misunderstood directions as related by the tourist.

THE RACE OF THE RACE

Policelady Loft of New York is awful discour- aged with New York girls. She says the scenes along Broadway are terrible. "We have failed to regulate dancing" she says and adds: "Cheek-to- cheek dancing and movements known as the scandalwalk, the cradle rocks, the Chicago camel, the syncOpating shimmy and the chicken shakes are terrible. They must cease"
 All of which leads one to pause and wonder whether laws making crimes or crimes making laws are coming out even in the race of the race

AUTHORS ARE URGED
TO DROP "SEX STUFF"
[From the Manitoba Free PressJ

[From the Manitoba Free Pressl
If our novelists want to be really di-
verting, and keep our minds from
dwelling on "the undertaker's' little
black bag" they will have to come on
out, from their psychiatric wards, di-
vorce courts and madhouses and pay
some attention to the health and clean
ness still to be found in the world :;
they will have to say a few words
about the bloom of the flower and for
get about the canker worm of sex
that has so spellbound them.
Lots of lovers go to the dogs-we
all know that; and lots of wives GET
sick of their beautiful husbands after
three months of age-that's
true, too; but here and there a faith
full pair may still be found-another
John and Lorna, another Rosalind and
Orlando-true lovers in that rapture
and feryoP of love that keeps the
whole world young.
This is the love whose chronicle di-
verts humanity from the black door at
the end of the journey; but as for
this sex" stuff that tries to pass for
love in these days, its diversions are
of such a melancholy sort that pres
entity people will be saying, Give me
death; give me anything you like;
but for PHYS sake don't sicken me
with sex These lecherous ladies,
hectic flappers, and all this tribe of
both sexes with collapsible morals
take them away, far, far away; ster-
ilize them, wash them, put them to
sleep for several hundred years, bury
them, drown them, lose them, but let
me forget about them; because the
fresh wind still blows on the heath;
there is still health and sweetness in
the world, and we prefer the scent of
flowers to the mephitic exhalations of
a sewer.
If you cannot, dear author. write OF
love, then buy a spade and do a little
digging; raise cabbage or a turnip-
an innocent cabbage, a moral turnip.
All, what blessed relief that would
! be! There. indeed, would be some
genuine DIVERSION"

SEA GOD is RULER
AMONG FiJIS Who
OFFER SACRIFICES
[From the New York Times]


Among the Fijis in former times the
favorite deity of the boatmen and fish
ermen, and enc greatly feared by
them, was the shark god. His name
was Dakuwaqa pronounced Dakawon-
ga. This deity was greatly feared
and IT was believed by all seafarers
that TO adventure his domain without
making sacrifice was extremely fool.
hardy and in defiance of faith. His
faVorlte sacrifice to the Fijian god was
drink of yanggona root-the kaya
of the Fijians
Native mythology is naturally full of
tales relating to the ferocity of Daku-
waqa, who is usually described, not in
the form of a shark as might be sup
posed, but rather in the shape of a
huge Jew fish or Angel fish. This, of
course, is quite ordinary as a matter
OF legend, but Capt. David Robbie, the
mayor of Levuka, the second city of
FIJI, and man Of strictest integrity,
reports the following incident:
We left Levuka in the cutter Annie
on fine afternoon in December, 1909,
and anchored at Makogai until mid
night, Setting sail at a. M, we left
the island of Namena to the eastward
about six miles distant l was on the
starboard quarter. The cutter would
be making two or three knots.
Seized the Vessel
Suddenly l heard a great swish in
the. sea astern. On looking around
there was a great, long, spiky fin and
the great square head of Dakuwaqa
close to the vessel, and the great wide
mouth was plainly to be seen as the
fish turned over, as / first thought,
to swallow the cutter. / left the tiller
without delay and called out to the
passenger who was below to come up,
but our strange visitor was in good
humor, dived clear under the bottom,
back downward, and clasped the YES
sci for three or four minutes, the
head being three or four feet ahead
and in line with the keel, the tail flat
and broad like whales.
1.-THE fins clasped the sides of the
cutter within few inches of the rail
Both fins were handled by most of the
crew After a short spell under the
bottom Dakuwaqa appeared again on
our starboard quarter, coming clear of
the vessel, belly up. During his stay
under the water sick Fijian of Vain
una was invoking the fish to be good
good root of Fiji yanggona as soon
as he returned to shore.
Kept Their Promise
after some time Dakuwaqa reeled
slightly to the right, raising his left
eye out of the water, had a good,
steady stare at his friends, settled
down again, and very slowly turned to
stern. We could see his bulk for full
ly quarter of an hour after his good
by. The Fijians kept their promise,
and fine, large root of kava was
dropped overheard on our return to
the spot where Dakuwaqa was sup
posed to be lurking, waiting to receive
his gift.
THE cutter is thirty-two feet on the
keel. Dakuwaqa would be about forty
feet long"
Is it not easy to believe that the old
Fijian god occasionally still haunts the
mysterious shores of that tabled archi-
pelago?
