HUGHES FOR DRUG
CURB AT SOURCE

Secretary Charles E. Hughes out
lines obstacles confronting the world
wide movement for suppression of
the drug evil. in the current issue
of Columbia, the knights of Colum-
bus national magazine.
Foremost among the statements of
Secretary Hughes is the contention
that progress cannot be made against
this evil until there. is general
agreement as to what constitutes
legitimate traffic.
The position of the government of
the United States" Secretary Hughes
writes, lis that the legitimate use of
narcotic drugs is limited to medical
and scientific purposes. Illegitimate
traffic cannot be stopped unless the
production of the raw product for
other than medical or scientific pur-
poses is stopped. Large or uncon-
trolled production means large con-
sumption.
by a recent resolution of Con-
gress the President is called upon to
urge those governments in whose
territories. opium and cocoa leaves
are produced to reduce their produce
tion to an amount sufficient for
strictly medicinal and scientific uses,
and to report to Congress at it's next
session. 1t is the intention of the
Department of State to bring about
international recognition of this
principle

NEW USE OF CHINA
| FOOD FUND ASKED
Balance of $917,474 Sought
for Teaching Famine Re-
h lief to People.

The District Supreme Court was
asked yesterday to approve a PROPOSE
tion to turn over the balance Of $917,-
47413, remaining in the China famine
fund. contributed from all parts of
the United States, to the Nanking
University and the Peking Univer-
sity, to be applied to the study and
investigation of famine cases, their

The proposal was submitted to the
court by Vernon Munroe, treasurer of
the American committee, organized
under proclamation of President
Woodrow Wilson in December, 1920
Robert n. Harper, president of the
District National Bank, is named as
defendant in his capacity as a con-
trlbutor and in behalf of other con-
tributors.
The court is advised that the
American committee has entered into
negotiation with the National Saw
tngs and Trust Company of this city
to act as trustee of the fund. AS it is
1mpracticable to reach all the con-
tributors. Mr.. Munroe asks the court
to permit service on Mr.. Harper to
act as though all the contributors
had been served.
Through Attorneys Minor, Galley
T. Rowland the petitioner says the

has been expended $3.S59. .013.71, leav-
ing balance of S917,474.13 in cash

activities which may prevent famine

mitting that the balance. is on de-

INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
TO ELECT NEW DIRECTORS

With nominations completed from
all save two of the six divisions, prep
arations for the annual election Of
directors of the Arizona Industrial
Congress are entering their last
stage. Ballots probably will be in the
hands of all members of the organ
ization within week or ten days.
One director will be elected from
each division of the Congress: Agri-
culture, business and finance, live
stock, mining, professional and pub
lie utilities. An additional director
for each must be elected in the live
stock and public utility groups, to
fill vacancies caused by death during
the past year. Three nominations for
each organization have been made by
the organizations making up the re-
spective divisions of the congress, the
state and county farm bureaus maxi
ing nominations for director from
the agricultural division, the cattle
and wool growers associations maxi
ing nominations for the livestock di-
rector, and so on. Nominations made
thus far are:
Agriculture: L. /. Bates of Pres
colt, G. M. Bridge of Yuma and Will
liam Ellsworth of Stafford.
Livestock: C. B. Laird of Phoenix,
Bert Golfer of Springerville, C. f.
Stewart of Prescott. A. A. Johns Of
Prescott, president of the Arizona
Wool Growers association, is the only
nominee for the vacancy caused by
the death of Hugh E. Campbell, for
whom he is filling out this year.
In the mining division G. H. Dowell
of Bisbee was nominated for re-elec-
ton, as was Fl. B. Titcomb of Tucson
in the public utility group. Three
nominations were made for the other
vacancy in the public utility group,
however, namely, r. G. Arthur Of
Douglas, F. S. Viele of Prescott and
S. Headman of Tucson.
Nominations for the professional
group have not yet been completed,
nor have those for the business and
financial group. Nominations in the
latter case were made by the various
chambers of commerce and the state
bankers and merchants association,
and as no three of those nominated
received a plurality, a second ballot
was required to choose three candi-
dates from half dozen who had re-
ceived several votes each from the
member organizations.

county Of Coconino with the value of
all their public buildings and other i'm
provements, would be an act of gross

injustice to each of said counties. The
governor seems to overlook the fact
that we would only be getting back
what we had already paid into their
treasures.
Bncky O'Neill COmplimented
In capturing the Canyon Diablo
train robbers, Sheriff O'Neill of Yav-
apai county has covered himself with
glory. He has not only proven the
supremacy of the law, but has accom-
phshed what more pretentious sections
of the country have failed to do. He
has given such an advertisement to
northern Arizona as will inspire con-
fidence into investors and it is safe
in asserting he has given death blow
to train robbery in this vicinity.
Ut will be noted from this last edi-
torial that the country was being
made safe for investors at that early
day.)
The citizens of "them days" didn't
propose to stand around idle like and
let few damn lazy fools rob trains
and shoot up things when they might
scare investors" away. Few people
drank anything in them days-they
didn't drink everything like they do
now-they didn't have to, they had a
special brand, as would be indicated
by the numerous emporiums adver-
tising special brands. Then, of
course, this was all at Winslow-
Flagstaff was only assuming proper
tions of the great moral center which
it has since come to be. And, when
that Winslow country refused to de-
sist in train robbing and shooting of
each other, contrary and in spite of
the insistent, imploring advice of the
Sunday News, many citizens moved
on to Flagstaff.
