A ROWLING SUCCESS

Prohibition is a bowling success -howling from the windswept reaches of Sandy Hook to the feet of the Statue of Liberty; screeching from the Golden Gate; yelling wan tonly along the forty-ninth paral- Tel; shouting from the wooded coves of Puget Sound; vociferating from the Mexican border line and in- anely hallooing from a tatl tower somewhere doWn-Street in Spokane. Everything is lovely at least with those who draw pay from the peo- pie. Upon the word of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes, who blew through here a few days ago, the things done. The taste for liquor has been downed; everyone is con- verted and personally conducted millennium is here or hereabouts. Bornum was right. Most of us like to be fooled.
 Down in Texas an average of three men were killed daily during last year; along the Atlantic sea- board d militant navy of impress i've proportions is playing hide-and- seek; a deluee is pouring across the border lines north and south and an alarming disrespect for all law has been engendered every- where.
 Let us admit, for sake of argu- ment, that liquor is bad for the human race, Then let us admit, if we are fond of the truth, that ly- ing, deceit, disrespect for law and connivance at laws infraction are infinitely worse. Where do we arA rive? At the indisputable conclu. sion that prohibition has made more criminals than any law ever passed and has been the most costly, most utterly ineffective statute ever placed uponthe books, here or anywhere else. Can any thoughtful man deny it? We think not! Prohibition is ultimate fam m.-Minins Truth, Spokane.

WE ALL SHOULD BE IN JAIL

The sensible, thinking people Of the United
States can not help but agree with Senator Arthur
Capper when he says "the United States is liter
ally waterlogged with laws 80. instead OF meet
ing and solving perplexing problems, the trend OF
government has been toward multitude OF bu-
reaus which have meddled with the most intimate
affairs of the people,
"Our system of government, courts and legal
practices are moss-grown with precedent and
bound up with legalistic red tape" he declared,
and, brother, he is right. During the past sixteen
years It's, ,902 new laws we're proposed in congress
There were 1,001, SOP proposed in the forty-elght
states and congress during the past sixteen years
most of them seeking to regulate the lives and
business of the people, In that period 1920 new
laws were actually put on the statute books, and
aren't laws wonderful? They create over 100000
civilian employees of the government and we have
more than two million paid. employees in our nat
ional and local governments.
In eight years taxes for all purposes in this
country have increased 800 per cent and the peo-
pie are paying eight billion and half dollars per
annum In taxes
j 1t is no wonder the3 rich are hunting high and
low for tax-free securities in order to escape the
taxation that new laws are piling up IN county,
state and nation. .sfa
81 AND, ignorance of the few million laws excuses
no man-only the ignorance of the officers OF
the million laws keep us all from being in Jail!

HIGH COST OF LIyING--WHY?

When life was simple, problems could be con-
sidered upon their own merits, without relation
to other problems. The Colonial planter ate what
he raised and cooked it over wood he chopped. Ii
he went on journey it was then time enough to
consider the horse, the coach, the road over which
he travelled. Travelling was one thing, and living
at home was another; neither affected the other.
Today we eat what others raise, and cook it and
keep warm by the coal which others mine. And
whether not ever go on a journey, the
roads. whether they be railroad or rivers or
canals or dirt roads !. must function to bring
our food and fuel to us, and to take from us the
goods we make True, the farmer lives from his
own grain and cattle, but he must yet depend on
TRANSFORMATION to sell his product. and to bring
him what he buys with the reward of that prod
uct
Transportation can not, now, be considered as
apart from any problem. It's a part of all social
problems. And it is especially part OF the edu-
cational problem. since children must go from
home to school, and where the school is some dis
tance away. must ride The good road means a
good school, well attended school, an effective
school The best school, located on mud Walow,
miscaled road, can not instruct absent children,
children who can not get to school because of mud.
The schools of this nation can never reach their
fullest development OF do full justice to chill
,dren. until we have good roads everywhere.
All taxes are iITitants; but the tax to build good
roads and keep them good, If properly spent pays
great dividends. not only in decreasing the cost
of hauing, and so increasing profits, decreasing
the time of journey, and SO increasing the time
of earning, but in decreasing the number of abb
sents" on children's report cards. and so increas-
ing their school life. e.1l4I /

FOLLOWING THE MOST NOISE

Neither democrats nor republicans care much
for the Senator Smith, Brookhart La Toilette,
Borah, Johnson (Magnus or Hid stripe Of poll
ticiaiis There could be no joy in the heart Of
democrat over the election of the blatant Magma
vox johnson in Minnesota. The democratic par

lost. but they lost to an element-if Magnavox
represents them rightly, who are foreign to
American soil. This Johnson lets his wife and
family work the farm while he works his mouth
This whole loud-voiced gang just seem to be able
to talk louder and talk more than the thinking
class. consequently the unthnkng class follow the

BOY SCOUTS AND ROTARY
Some people give according to their
means and some according to their
n1eanness.-George Elliot.

The Flagstaff Rotary club, believing a great
nd lasting good can be accomplished for man
ind in general through the Boy Scout movement,
ave been enthusiastically backing that organiza-
ion with personal efforts as well as cash.
There seems to be a disposition on the part OF
ONE. who evidently do not understand the work
ngs of the Rotary club, to take it for granted
hat Rotary is a club especially organized to IL
Iance and push all community enterprises to al
uccessful conclusion without help from the citl-
ems at large. This is q grave mistake for TINS
title organization of business men was never ere
ted to carry all the burden of public welfare
york, nor does it attempt to usurp any OF the
unctions of other civic organizations. The big
rotary idea is Service Above Self other
words it tries; to be an unSelflsh bunch or DuSl-
less men-of all creeds and kinds, paying for the
privilege of meeting together once week. hoping
or better understanding of local problems, back
d by an avowed willingness to individually help
.arl-y on for the good of the community and man
ind in general. It is an unselfish personal sac
ifice on the individuals part-Rotary asks for no
redit as club It's chief glory is in having help
ID to weed out antagonisims, unWarranted hatred
.Hd dislike, believing that personal contact
;moothes out many misunderstanding.
Flagstaff is carrying the big load for the Boy
Scout movement and is proud of the fact, but
here apparently is feeling, the Rotary club is
ioing it. let 'em do it, among great many peo-
DE who in reality have the interest or the boys
Is well as the community deep in their hearts.
AS matter of fact the Rotary club, which IN
udes all kinds and classes of business men, sup
1osed to represent their particular class (not just
heir own business) is school intended to edu-
,ate business men as to the best methods Of help
ng along all worthy community enterprises. 1t
ioes not propose to take the place of the chamber
If commerce or any other organization of it's kind
n other words, a school too help men KNOW how
o help. It claims no credit as club but is proud
If the success achieved by any individual mem
1er Rotary desires to be a clearing house for
misunderstanding club devoted to getting
IT the actual facts regardless of previous preju-
Ices and personal feelings, then going ahead on
hat basis.
The few men who belong to the Rotary club
IAN not finance all worthy enterprises. They can
1nly hope to take an active interest in ascertain
ng whether or not the movement is worthy OF
community sanction. When Rotary approves, its
members are supposed to fit themselves in an IN
1ividuas, to help along in every way possible
Their action in approving is in a way guarantee
hat these business men have looked into the SUBJ
ect and believe in all honesty that it is worthy
project.
Don't stand back because Rotary has approved

she demanded.

While not attempting to discuss the merits OF
the case. of Martinez, who was hanged last Friday
at Florence, it would seem that Warden Sims went
far beyond the realm of proprety, to say the least,
N broadcasting his opinion that Martinez was IN
accent. The case had gone through all the courts
IF the state and had been reviewed by pardon
BOARD appointed by the governor. Why should the
warden be so free in giving publicity to his per-
sona opinion? If he is hired to censor the courts
IF the state the statutes should show this author
ity, otherwise it would have been IN better taste
for him to have resigned and not committed a
crime" himself by hanging man he was so sure
was innocent. Warden Sims widely published
opinion in this case would indicate that he held
the state courts, the governor and the pardon
board all in contempt.

Millions Spent For Roads.

Over $2.000.O00 dollars per month
has been spent by the state highway
commission during the month of June,
July. August and September, according
to figures made public here in re
view of the general road situation
OF this amount more than 100000
per month has been paid back into
the state treasury through the collec-
tion of the gasoline tax of three cents
per gallon.
The construction has been divided
over the entire state and no effort
has been spared to make the roads
which have been completed the most
modern of their kind and they are
built to stand the traffic Of many years
to come, provided proper maintenance
is continued.
For every mile in the state road
system there are 37,6 automobiles and
to use each of these cars there are
14.4 persons. That is there are one
eighth as many automobiles in North
Carolina as there are people.
Though the license tax in the state
varies for each type and model OF
car according to the figures of the
commission the average fee for the
first 229, 400 automobiles registered
this year is S14.S4,
Over every square mile of territory
in the state, if the state to be appor

wold be four automobiles to operate
An answer to the employment ques

to a large extent been utilized in road
building. At the present time there
are 1900 men engaged in construc
