MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD.

We are accustomed to think.
ing that gold is the most vaIu
able metal in the world, with the
exception of platinum. These
two metals, it is true, possess
one characteristic which sets
them apart from the commoner
metals-their immunity to cor
rosion. Nevertheless. while gold
is an accepted standard of value,
the metal itself has contributed
almost nothing to mans ad
vancement. From a standpoint
of usefulness, gold is handicap.
ped by excessive weight. soft
ness, low tensile strength, high
electrical resistance, low Leat
conductivity. Even if we we're
to discover unlimited, easily
workable deposits of gold, the
effect would only be to throw
the worlds financial machinery
out of gear.
If, on the other hand, we we're
to discover unlimited and easily
workable deposits Of copper
there is hardly a field of human
endeavor that would not benefit.
The telephone, the telegraph.
and their younger brother, radio,
all depend upon copper. With.
out copper there could be no
brass or bronze. Lacking cop
per, there would be no such
things as electric lights and
electric motors; we could not
proceed with electrification of
railroads and development of
water power.
If gold failed US, the world
would have to readjust its finan
cial system on a basis of silver
or platinum, perhaps-but if
copper should fail, civilization
halt its onward march until some
as yet unknown substitute could
be found. Industry Illustrated.

a SQUARE DEAL FOR ARIZONA.

COlOnel FRED. >. Breen, or the
Coconino Sun, has been taking
retrospective view of number
of instances wherein Arizona has
been discriminated against by
Uncle Sam, who, all should hope,
should be impartial in dealing
with the State of Arizona. Any
favoritism from Uncle Sam
should be for. the Baby State"
Arizona. We heartily endorse
the following editorial from Col.
Breen's paper:
why can't Arizona get a
square deal?" is a question often
asked in the past few years
when federal conditions are dis.
cussed.
When the United States de.
clared war against Germany. the
war department. arbitrarily gave
Arizona a population of $50, 900
and on that basis drafted men
for the war. The population of
Arizona then was less than $50,
600 including indians and aliens
who didn't count for war pur
poses.
New Mexico was given a
population of some 275, 600, upon
which to draft men into the ser.
vice, though census reports and
New Mexico claimed over $50,
600. 1t was of no avail to com
plain of this injustice-the fig
ures stood and Arizona filled her
quota with volunteers to spare.
When it came to opportion
ing commissioned officers New
Mexico regained all her lost"
population and Arizona lost"
her inflated arbitrary census
figures and took what was left.
When it comes to distribu.
ton of forest service road funds,
all the free appropriations go to
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado or
some other state, while Arizona
furnishes the greatest. areas of
forest under the control of the
government, Alaska possibly ex.
cepted-and look at Alaska!
"One cannot help but think,
in going over the past history of
Arizona, that she has been treat

And so far as Coconino coun.

any one in congress, aside from
our own Representatives, know
that Coconino county is the sec
ond largest county in the United
States and that only II per cent

larger than several New Eng.

BILLION DOLLARS
MORE THAN 100000 PERSONS
SICK, 1T IS SAID. HUGE
LOSS PREVENTABLE.

The cost of illness III the United
States is more than $1,000,000,000 a
year, a booklet published by North
western University, at Chisago, and
mailed to graduates of the university's
medical school indicates.
The pamphlet entitled THE Last
Backgrounds OF Disease" reviews
briefly recent notable accomplishments
in medicine and surgery and cites some
of the diseases still to be conquered.
Three of Every Hundred Ill.
"On any given day." the pamphlet
reads, three persons out of every 100
are i'll. In the United States 100000
persons are on the sick list today.
1T costs the United States $1,000,
900, 900 year to be siCk-almoSt $780,
900 an hour.
IF preventive measures could be
made available for the poorest COM
munities as they are for the best a
reduction of from 10 to Is per cent
could be brought about in casual i'll
ness.
Death Could Be Cheated.
almost 100000 deaths could be
prevented. In 20 years the mortality
rate has been reduced AZ per 10000
If in the next two decades one-half
as great a reduction can be brought
about, each year more than 100000
lives can be saved"
Among the diseases which, the
booklet says are still to be conquered
are pneumonia, goiter tuberculosis,
heart disease, Brights disease and
cancer.
