A STRANGE POLITICAL MOVE

II hardly seems possible that Frank Hitchcock
can honestly and conscentiously manage the cam
paign of Senator Hiram Johnson of California for
fhe presidential nomination on the republican
ticket. According to past political history they
should be as far apart the two poles. The
nomination of Johnson would not only mean the
Wrecking of the republican party but the utter
defeat Of Johnson. Johnson is johnson" re-
publican In other words, eliminating Roosevelt,
who was crucifed by so-called progressive friends
and admitted his mistake before death called him,
the s0-called ''progresSiveS" are no more than a
small element in which personal ego predomln-
ates. It is personal progresslyeness IN which
the person with the most idiotic ego seeks to i'm
pose his personality upon the people for his own
personal benefit. The democratic party has two
outstanding figures--Bryan and William Ran
dolDh Hearst. The republicans have a number of
seIf-seeking men of the same calibre. Johnson
defeated Judge Hughes-Bryan has defeated a
number of old-lne democratic aspirants.
The people generally speaking are not going to
sanction a bunch of double-crosses whose main
object In life is in lifting themselves into office.
The whole country is tired and sick of half
breeds They want thoroughbreds to run this
country There will never be third party until
one or the other of the old parties are completely
wrecked by an element which aches for power
and is willing to put the whole country on the
bum if ii can hold the offices and deal the
cards.
The man who has no conscience belongs to no
sold-line party-he usually claims to be progress
sive" He belongs nowhere, promises everything
and lays the blame on the ''reactonary," the poor
sucker who has to pay the freight and who must
figure on a sound business basis knowing there
is day Of reckoning. The "big progressive
bug paws nothing, demands it all, muddieS the
water, and slips away when honest men have to
shoulder the blame and the expense.
The Johnsons, the Bryans, the LaFolettes, the
Willie Hearsts the Henry Fords the whole ilk-
what have any of them ever done in the past 20

MUST BE CONSIDERED AS A WHOLE

Some congressman are saying that they are
for the Mellon tax reduction plan, with few res
ervations When those amendments are analysed
it is found that they riddle the Mellon program
and destroy its object which is to raise some OF
the tax burden from all the people. The Mellon
plan must be considered as a whole if its full BEN
eft is to be experienced It represents the result
of thorough study of the whole economic stu
alton. If the soldiers bonus is to be authorized
if cut in surtax rates is to be denied, if the
excess profits tax is to be rewritten into law, the
Mellon plan might as well be abandoned and the
people be called upon to continue payment of the
$325, 100000 taxes that the secretary of the
treasury would like to save for them
It is that thought that has caused some friends
of the administration to doubt the wisdom of op-
ening up the subject of tax reduction Once the
Mellon bill is introduced it will open the way for
all sorts of radical schemes for the benefit of one
class of our people at the expense of the others.
Unless there is sufficient strength in both houses
to defeat such amendments when they are pro-
posed, the hopes Of the people, aroused by Mr..
Melons proposals. are likely to be disappointed.
Congressman of all shades of political belief try
to respond to the wishes of their constituents and
tho Mellon tax cuts will receive congressional sup
port in just proportion as conservative thought at
home makes itself manifest at Washington. If
you believe that $325,000000 annually should be
cut from the public tax bill rather than pay the
soldiers bonus, write to your senators and con-
gressrnan and tell them so.

HI JAcKER JOHNSON AND THE McADoo

Senator Hi Johnson is most liberal man. He
has promised the people reduction in taxation, a
soldier bonus reduced freight rates to farmers,
will help any in securing his nomination and cleo
tion, there is not the slightest doubt that he will
promise cure for sore throat, chillblains, limo
sine trouble gastritis gasolinitis, blow-outs To-
comotor ataxia. McAdoo seems to have the same
sort of mania for using the Coue method on the
pcople--just telling them "I'n getting better and
better in every way every day." The country is
pretty thoroughly convinced that calm, cool,
Coolidge plan of Saying less and doing more" is
going to work out in the best interest of the peo-
pie as whole-they are inclined to try out a real
New England conscience, regardless of the walls
of profiteers and would-be common law presi-
dents. If Coolidge is not the nominee and elect
ed president of the United States in 1924, it will
be because of political bootleggers in his own par
ty. Many good man has lost his elective job
because he forgot politics long enough to run his
office on a business basis for the people.
The Coconino sun., 1923-12-07
THE FARMER AND HIS CROPS

About one half the articles our democratic
brethren complain SO bitterly of being too high in
price and blame the price the tariff, on the
free list. Even supply and demand" are on the
free list Wheat is protected now, but the price
is about S1.00 per bushel. Potatoes are protected
but the present prices are not making the farmers
rich It is more or less true that the farmers are
not getting fair return on their raw products in
comparison to the general cost of living. The act
ual high cost of living only starts when the far
mers' produce is loaded on the train. The freight
charges are higher because labor is higher; man.
ufacturing higher for the same reason. However,
all hands can add the cost and pass it on except
the farmer. His prices are regulated strictly by
supply and demand, and he has no way Of passing
the buck. His hours are anything to save his
crops and his prices are what he can get on the
market. The protective tariff has helped him
greatly, but it can not make up the difference be
tween his condition and that of those who are or
ganized to fixe prices and hours.

RIDING A FREE HORSE

Here are few of the things the American tax
payer has had on his hands since the war in
Europe began: Financing the entire war, practic-
ally from the time we entered it; financing the
Red Cross, the Salvation Army the Y. NJ C. A.,
the Knights of Columbus and other benevolent
organizations which gave themselves to the SER
vice; feeding Armenia, Russia, Belgium, India,
and lately, Japan. The American taxpayer has
opened his purse for every good thing and prac-
tically carried the burden Of the worlds misfor-
tunes for the past ten years. He is not kicking in
the least about it. he is glad he had the opportun-
ity for such a service. But when it comes to the
suggestion that the rest of the world be forgiven
of its debts at his expense it is nothing more than
natural that he should register a kick. There is
such thing as riding free horse to DEATH

WOMEN STRONG FOR COOLIDGE

A leading woman's magazine, "Good House
keeping" is conducting presidential poll among
the million and half members of the federated
women's clubs of the country, and the results to
date furnish an Illuminating indication of how the
women's vote of the country is going to go in the
next election.
Out of 9688 votes already tabulated, Calvin
Coolidge received almost two-thirds, 5788 to be
exact. Henry Ford appeared to be the first choice
for the democratic nomination, polling 704 votes
to $50 for McAdoo and 593 for Underwood. The
remaining votes were scattered among dozen
other possible candidates.
The great point of this poll is that two-thirds
of the women are for President Coolidge. This
bespeaks sweeping republican majority in the
next election.-Jerome News.

AN EXTRACT

The town of Scarlet Gulch, though
only a mushroom center, cherished an
ambition to be known as more sophis-
ticated than New York and more
prosperous than a Hollywood movie
star. Accordingly, one day the follow
ing articles appeared in the Weekly
Hullabaloo:
"Our friend Bill Weed came down
off his claim in the hills the other day
with two suitcases full of gold mug
gets. Bill sat down on the hotel
steps and when he looked up he saw
a stranger beating it off with his suit
cases. Bill took another puff at his
seegar and said:
cob, hell! let him 60. My feet's
sore."
