TO MAKE HISTORY VIVID

No reason is apparent why
there should not be compliance
with the proposal of Senator
Walsh. of Massachusetts, that
the government preserve motion
pictures of historical value. He
charges that the authorities at
Washington have done nothing
to save for poSterity such films
as those depicting the congress
sional declaration OF war against
Germany. the war addresses OF
President Wilson. the burial OF
the Unknown Soldier. sessions OF
the Washington Disarmament
Conference. presidential inaugu-
rations and other important
events. and takes the position
that this is neglecting a duty to
future generations. The senator
advocates the enactment of leg
islation making it mandatory f"r
designated officials to preserve
movies of this character.
The benefit that will be dcriv-
ed from following this course
can best be appreciated by CON
sidering how useful moving pic
lures of some of the outstanding
events of our early history would
be. II it were possible to exhibit
on the Fourth of July a film por-
trayal of the signing of the Dec
laration of independence it would
increase popular understanding
of the significance of the day.
There are still living men who
knew Lincoln; yet, in the alb
sence of films showing him at
great moments. such as when de-
livering his Gettysburg address,
he has become remote. almost
legendary character to the school
children of today. Moving pic
lures would help to make him
very real person to them.
Imagine the interest that would
attach TO the presentation on the
screen of Revolutionary, Mexican
and Civil War scenes, or of the
running of the first steamboat or
the first railroad train.
Photographs have been OF
great assistance in preserving an
accurate record of the appear
ance of notable persons and sig
nihcant happenings of the last
century. Prior to the Civil War.
pictures were the work of artists
with brush and pencil, and MANY
of the portraits and scenes of that
early period were more or less
imaginative, and often far from
accurate. Photographs prevent
inaccuracy, but the movies not
only are accurate but are also
vivid
1t the government should pre-
serve motion pictures of historic
events, and copies should be
available for the use in school
and for public exhibition. the
people in years to come will have
lar more correct notion of the
present period than we have of
the past.

GASOLINE STATION ROADS

Central Arizona road boosters advertise meet
ing to be held at Miami on October IL to provide
ways and means of building a central road
through Arizona also one from Rice to Springer
Vile in order to tap the Old Trails National high
way and prevent tourists if possible from visiting
Grand Canyon. Their proposition is to bond the
state for 81 100000 to accomplish their purpose
and make the smaller counties pay for trail to
run by their gasoline station. This meeting is
sponsored by Phoenix chamber of commerce.
. It would seem, however, that Governor has gone
this bunch one better and proposes statewide
scheme of road building with a bond issue OF
twenty million. Hunt wins. He at least acknow-
lodges that there should be a statewide road
building scheme. It is more omnibus" than the
Phoenix scheme and takes in the whole state rath-
or than any preferred part of it. While we have
not had an opportunity to digest Hunts PROPOSE
tion it would appear better judgment on the part
of the people to vote on statewide plan which
would include roads needed in all parts of the state
rather than be put up against bond issue of ST.
100000 favoring the heavy voting districts. The
other districts of the state would be outvoted and
left high and dry paying bonds for the heavy vot-
ing districts. Let's look over Hunts proposition
first.

PRESIDENTS HIGHWAY TO CANYON

While a goodly number of people locally seem
to think there is "nigger in the wood pile" some
where owing to the recent interest taken by the
John Ivens Post No. AZ, at Grand Canyon, in pass
ing resolutions favoring the cooperation OF the
federal and state aid for the construction OF q
Presidents Highway from some point on the Old
Trails National Highway to Grand Canyon, we
are constrained to believe that the boys out there
either overlooked the Maine-G Grand Canyon high
way laid out by the county, desire to favor that
route, since it centers CoconinO county, and has
been favored by federal and state engineers as
real solution of one of the road problems OF the
county which has been uppermost in the minds OF
the great majority of the people for several years
There has been some antagonism over giving
up the road around east of Flagstaff and much
controversy over rebuilding the old stage road
through Fort Valley. AS final suggestion the
Maine-G Grand Canyon road was adopted, believing
it would serve both the east and west end OF the
county without possible injury to all concerned.
This seemed the best solution of the road PROB
lem in the interest of taxpayers well as the vast
tourist traffic, which is increasing so rapidly.
Commander r. P: Gilliland of John lvens Post,
advises that Senator Ralph Cameron assures them
of his interest in the construction OF highway 20
Grand Canyon.
With the influence of Senator Cameron there
is no doubt but paved road can be secured from
Maine to Grand Canyon. Congressman Hayden
also advocates the building of this road and MAX
ing it permanent.

/ CONTROL THE COLORADO FIRST

The sudden and unexpected flood of the Colo
rado river recently has given engineers q few
more problems to think about in the construction
Of dams down in the lower reaches Of the river.
Few if any, old timers remember such flood at
this season of the year It is very probable had the
Boulder Canyon dam been in process of construc-
tion without the protection of the dam at Glenn
Canyon all the work at Boulder Canyon would
have been dead loss-a waste of time and
money, not to mention the delay. One might sug-
gest this would have been true at Glenn Canyon
but the deduction would be wrong. Conditions
would be entirely different. Diversion of the wa
ter would first claim the attention of engineers
and the work of building the Glenn Canyon dam
would be going right along on dry ground Na-
ture seem to have provided the place to start
the development of the Colorado river. Floods
NAV come and floods may go, but the building of
the Glenn Canyon dam would go right on unhin-
lered until flood waters were turned against it
and controlled that other dams below might be
built regardless of all the floods that come. To
those who know the fits and moods of the great
Colorado there is no other means of conserving
the interests of all in money, time and men. Con-
troll the river, then build dams lower down.

PAVING GOOD INTENTIONS

Some one with good horse sense remarked the
other day that about the most thankless job in
the world is telling travellers of road conditions.
In the first place the average tourist is inbued
with the belief that the informant has some ul-
terror motive up his sleeve. Then opinions differ
as to road being good bad or Indifferent, ex-
cepr possibly as to paved road and some kick
about them. Again when heavy rains walop diff
ferent sections of the country at different times.
good road today may be muddy tomorrow. A
bad driver can misuse even good road. The rep
utation of the man with kindly honest intent, who
endeavors to assist the traveller with road infor-
nation, usually suffers.

HIST A MERE "SCOOP.

Of coure we don't want to brag or boast
no. nothing like that, but do just wish to
point to the fact that The Coconino Sun
scooped the whole state on the big $2O,OOO,-
600 road bond scheme proposed by Governor
Hunt. While not too stuck up over the big
beat of all the daily papers in the state, we
feared some of them might not notice it.
s The proposed scheme may or may not be-
come fact, but it is live issue and one that
may come before the people at the next elec-
tion to be voted upon.

HOPE THEIR HEARING is GOOD

hearing on Arizona freight rates has been an
nounced to take place at Phoenix on November 5.
It is to be hoped that not only hearing be held
but that it will result in some action tending to
adjust rates so that the burden does not fall on
Arizona to the profit of California and other sur
rounding states It is crying shame that Ari-
zona has been Disseminated against all these
years and can secure no relief. It is true that the
method of railroads high-salaried attorneys has
been to keep themselves in job by appeals, de-
lays and technicalities until they have worn out
the complainants, financially as well as physical
ly The hundred of thousands Arizona has been
overcharged make it profitable for the railroads
to keep up the fight.

RATIFY OR BE CRUCIFIED

Editor Bill Stuart, of the Prescott Courier, hav-
ing argued all sides and mainly against the ratifi-
cation of the Colorado river pact, now says if
Arizona couldn't handle a small proposition like
the Lyman dam without making financial fail
ure, it would stand fine chance of spending a
few hundred million on damming the Colorado
river with state funds. He also intimates that
private capital can best do the job and secure re-
suits within the life time of present residents of
Arizona. This has been true all the time and has
been repeatedly printed all over the state but Bill
has just found it out after doing all in his power
to prevent ratification. Governor Hunt too, is
beginning to realize that if the pact is not ratified
his democratic administration will receive the
same treatment at the very next election when the
people are given an opportunity to express them
selves.

NEITHER THROAT NOR FEET
TENDER

One Of those little migratory stories
that pop up and sometimes travel all
over the country by word of mouth
concerns a tenderfoot who, seeing a
sign on little western saloon which
read, "Soft Drinks and Billiards, T"
went in and said in his gruffest
tones:
Gimme billiard"
The bartender, seeing that the man
really thought billiard was some
thing to drink, started to make up a
mixture of everything he had in the
place, including the bar polish.
The stranger took the mess, swal-
lowed mouthful, and turned red in
the face.
Game to the finish, however, he
gulped down the remainder.
swell, how'd you like that?' asked
the bartender grilnly.
"Well,' replied the tenderfoot, eff
wasn't an old billiard drinker, I'd
say that was concentrated lye."

THE PUBLIC PAYS THE FREIGHT

Not endeavoring to be in the least inquisitive
we have been wondering why the special Colorado
river pact committee, the highway department
committee of Investigators, the banking commit
tee of the legislature, have not made any final re-
ports. Whether they are to report back to the
legislature or to the governor. These special COM
rfittees started odt with great gusto but seem to
have fallen by the wayside footsore and weary
from the hunt If there is anything wrong with
any department of state government it should
come out publicly. Secret conferences and se-
cret reports do no good 1t makes no difference
whether the man in office is democrat or re-
publican If he is cheating" or incompetent, the
public is entitled to know it. The public pays the
freight

WHAT'S THE Use

The editor of the Mesa Tribune sent
man bill for years subscription.
Three weeks later letter came back
saying a check for the amount was
enclosed. But there Was no check in
the letter. The editor wrote calling
attention of his debtor to the omis-
sion. Three weeks later he received
another letter enclosing the check for
the amount. But the check was un-
signed. The editor returned the un-
signed check, calling attention to the
lack Of a signature. Three weeks la
ter he received letter enclosing the
check properly signed. The editor
then sent the check to the bank and
it was returned to him, marked "no
funds" The editor stopped writing.

DEEP STUFF

Robert w. Chambers, whose vivid
portraits of the modern girl have
made him famous, said at dinner
party in his New York home:
"The modern girl has many faults,
but at least she is open and above
board. There's nothing of the deceit
full puss about her.
"0n moonlight winter night in
Florida, modern young man passion
ately kissed a beautiful, modern girl
under a palm tree.
"'I'll be frank with you,' the young
man said after the embrace was over.
You're not the first girl I've ever
kissed by long shot
She Lit huge and costly cigarette.
"'And I'll be equally frank with
you, she answered, You've got a
great deal to learn, even at that"

DODGED EN- BOTH

There were three at the little table
in the cafe, girl and two men. Sud-
denly the lights went out and the girl
drew back quickly.
An instant later there was the
smack of a compound kiss. AS the
lights went up each man was seen
smiling complacently.
II thought / heard a kiss" said the
girl, "but nobody kissed me-"
Then the men glared at each other
and flushed.

LAWS WON'T Do IT ALL

President Coolidge is convinced of the folly of
looking to legislation as cure for economic ills.
The people must not expect congress to provide an
aridote for laziness lack of thrift or unfortunate
Judgment in industry or farming. "The people
cannot look to legislation generally for success"
he said, in commenting on legislative price-fixing
Industry, thrift, character are not conferred by
act or resolve. Government cannot relieve from
toll. The normal must take care of themselves;
self-government means self-support"

Cartooning Uncle Sam as Shylock by foreign
would-be humorists, after the billions given away
by America is a poor return. Sometimes it looks
as though Europe has been keeping up the war
with the evident purpose of digging deeper into
Uncle Sans pocketbook. It would seem if there
was more intelligence and more human feeling
among the people of Europe they could settle their
difficulties instead of keeping up constant
wrangle.
