reforms would expedite the transac-
ton of the business of the courts. The
administration of justice is likely to
fail if it be long delayed.
Prohibition
The prohibition amendment to the
constitution requires the congress and
the president to provide adequate laws
to prevent its violation. 1t is my duty
to enforce such laws. For that pur-
pose a treaty is being negotiated with
Great Britain with respect to the right
Of search of lowering vessels. To pre-
vent smuggling, the coast guard
should be greatly strengthened, and a
supply of swift power boats should be
provided. The major source of pro-
duction should be rigidly. regulated,
and every effort should be made to
suppress interstate traffic. With this

ernment, and the cooperation which

reduction in the price Of fuel. With
the enormous deposits in existence,
failure of supply ought not to be toll
Grated. Those responsible for the
conditions in this industry should un-
dertake its reform and free it from
any charge of profiteering.
The supply Of coal must be con-
stant. In case of its prospective in
terruption, the president should have
authority to appoint a commission
empowered to deal with whatever
emergency situation might arise, to
aid in conciliation and voluntary ar
bitration, to adjust any existing or
threatened controversy between the
employer and the employe when coll
lective bargaining fails, and by con-
trolling distribution to prevent prof.
teering in this vital necessity. This
legislation is exceedingly urgent, and
essential to the exercise of national
authority for the protection Of the
people.
Agriculture
Aided by the sound principles adopt
ed by the government, the business of
the country has had an extraordinary
revival. Looked at as a whole, the ma
ton is in the enjoyment of remark

pies having risen in value from about
$1,000, 100000 two years ago to ST.

some sections of the wheat area, not

west, have many cases of actual dis

be devised should be applied for the
relief of the farmer. He represents
character, type of citizenship, and
a public necessity that must be pre-
served and afforded every facility for
regaining prosperity.
The distress is most acute among
those wholly dependent upon one
crop. Wheat acreage was greatly ex-
panded and has not yet been suffic-
iently reduced. A large amount is
raised for export, which has to meet
the competition of the world market
of large amounts raised on land much
cheaper and more productive.

Shipping

Shipping
The entire we'll being of our coun-
try is dependent upon transportation
by sea and land. Our government dur
ing the war acquired large merchant
fleet which should be transferred, as
soon as possible, to private ownership
and operation under conditions which
would secure two results: First, and
of primate Importance, adequate
means for national defense; second,
adequate service to American COM
merce Until shipping conditions are
such that our fleet can be disposed of
advantageously under these conditions,
it will be operated as economically as
possible under such plans as may be
devised from time to time by the ship
ping board. We must have a mer-
chant marine which meets these re-
quirements, and we shall have to pay
the cost of its service.
Public improvements
The time has come to resume in a
moderate way the opening of our in
tracoastal waterways; the control of
flood waters of the Mississippi and of
the Colorado rivers; the improvement

renee river, for which efforts are now
being made to secure the necessary
treaty with Canada. These projects
cannot all be undertaken at once, but
all should have the immediate con-
sideration of the congress and be
adopted as fast as plans can be ma
tured and the necessary funds be-
come available. This is not incom-
patible with economy.
Railroads
Criticism of the railroad law has
been directed, first, to the section lay
ing down the rule by which rates are
fixed, and providing for payment to
the government and use of excess
earnings; second, to the method for
the adjustment of wage scales, and
third, to the authority permitting con-
solidations.
1t has been enormously assumed
that the act undertakes to guarantee
railroad earnings. The law requires
that rates should be just and reason
able. That has always been the rule
under which rates have been fixed. To
make rate that does not yield fair
return results in confiscation, and
confiscatory rates are of course un-
constitutional. Unless the government
adheres to the rule of making rate
that will yield fair return it must
abandon rates making altogether. The
new and important feature of that
part of the law is the recapture and
redistribution of excess rates. The
constitutionality of this method is
now before the supreme court for adj
i,,dica+ion Thair decision should be
The Coconino sun., 1923-12-14

awaited before attempting further. leg
islation on this subject. Furthermore,
the Importance of this feature will not
be great if consolidation goes into eff
feet.
The settlement of railroad labor dis
putes is matter of grave public
concern. The labor board was estab-
lished to protect the public in the en-
ioyment of continuous service by at
tempting to insure justice between
the companies and their employees. II
has been a great help, but is not al
together satisfactory to the public, the
employees or the companies. IT a sub
stantial agreement can be reached
among the groups interested, there
should be no hesitation in enacting
such agreement into law. II it is not
reached, the labor board may very
well be left for the present to protect
the public welfare.
Department of Justice
~ 94s no revision of the laws of the
United States has been made since
1878, a commission or committee
should be created to undertake this
work.
1t is desirable to expedite the hear
ing and disposal of cases. A commits
sion of federal judges and lawyers
should be created to recommend legls-
lation by which the procedure in the
federal trial courts may be simplified
and regulated by rules of court, rath-
er than by statutes; such rules to be
submitted to the congress and to be
in force until annulled or modified by
the CONGRESS. The supreme court

objects of art or common use which
show that at least six civilizations

at time digging, and then devotes
several months to classifying and
studying the finds. The latest digging

The unique and precious urn stands
about 16 inches high, is decorated in
white and red, has four handles, and
has evidently been fashioned without
the use of a potter wheel. 1t con-
tained the skeleton of an infant and
dates back to the time when it was
customary for Greek families to pre-
serve their dead within the home.
The most valuable finds came from
a grave some twenty feet long, which
had apparently never before been
opened. Here besides five skeletons.
were discovered about a hundred vases
and various styles 'of ornaments of
gold, silver and bronze. The burials
had taken place in the Mycenaean age,
which was at its height about 14OO b.

that period is the cutting of certain

Fairy Tale
BOSS ELEPHANT
UWARY GRAHAM BONNER
vtSrtsn htv,,Apts UNION

I'm my home country" said the ele-
phant who had always gone by the
name Of Boss Elephant, Il was really
boss. That was how I got my name.
elephants used to work well in and
about the lumber camps, and mills.
..They were taught quickly and they
knew how to roll the logs and push
them into position before the logs
were to be sawed.
But l was the boss. If they didn't
do right would push them into po-
sition and give them little spankings-
just to show them that they weren't
doing right.
''They were very good though, and I
wasn't hard boss. They liked me as
boss and found me kindly and willing
to do my part, too.
Il didn't let 1t turn my head or my
trunk just because was a boss. No, in
deed. have no use for creatures who
act cross and snippy and mean because
they have little authority or because
they have the chance to boss.
BOSS Elephant was never like that.
When the whistle used to blow for ev-
eryone to stop work we stopped work,
too. oh yes, we were ready to stop
when 1t was time to do so. We did
just as the others did.

had hard time getting the elephants
on the boat. He got me to lead the
way and we walked onto the boat.
with the master begging us and talk
ing to us so we'd do just right, as the
ship master didn't like elephants.

our best. And 1 was good. listened

and so kindly. -
"Oh yes, my life has been far from
dull. l am good swimmer and many
has been the river swim have had.
MANY animals have had interesting
experiences. One man who is devoted
to animals has pet monkeys in his
home. When he is away from home
the monkeys do all sorts of things to
the house just as naughty children will.
'They move everything about and
take the things from one place and
put them in another. Oh, they have
the greatest scramble at times and are
up to all sorts of mischier.
This man has one pet monkey from
British Guiana known as the'Red Howl
er. He is very tame and he sits at
table and eats SO nicely.
Besides this he is taken off on trips
and has a splendid time of it. If the

HE also makes a very sad face and
gives special kind of a whine when
he is hungry.
"He has sound-box in his throat
and he makes deep roaring sounds, and
this !. is why he has been given the
name of howler.
"It is we'll when keepers and people
understand animals, for so much de-

elephant wants affection in his life.
"Dear me, I'd be miserable If my
keeper didn't care for me. Don't ever
think, just because I'm so big, that
there isn't affection and love in my
elephant heart.
animals know so much, too. Think
of the way animals can find their way
home after they have been lost and
how they can find their masters long,
long distances away.
"And think, too, of the animals who've
been taken to places in cages and yet
who have been able to get back to the
homes where their owners We're, even
