THE DEMOCRATIC WAY

LET the republicans pay seems to have been
a consistent policy of the last democratic federal
administration While McAdoo was director of
railroads he would not permit any suits to be
brought for damages to persons or property, and
the claims accumulated, to be paid after the
roads were returned to their private owners. The
government is paying some of these claims be-
cause they accrued while the government was
operating the roads,
But the charges were avoided by the demo-
cratic regime; postponed for the republicans to
pay.
It also develops that the democratic admins
tration collected millions of dollars of income
taxes without authority of law, and spent the
money, and now, under court decisions, the re-
publican administration must return the money
thus unlawfully taken The democrats were
able to make good showing on the face of the
books because they collected the money. The re-
publican administration, through no fault of its
own, must repay the money at the same time
that it is trying to cut expenses and reduce
taxes
There are some people who will not see
through the deceptive record of the democratic
method of management, but they are few-Al-

PRocRAsTINAToRs WON'T WIN

Rather early yet to guess but it looks like the
Arizona legislature would not be able to rise to
the occasion and ratify the Colorado pact. There
is tendency to delay rather than to approve or
reject Two years is good while to wait when
the iron is hot But if the sixth legislature ne
elects its duty the seventh, composed of men
and women who think, win ratify the pact. They
may not be democrats, either.-Phoenix Messen-
ger.
when ignorance is bliss It's folly to be wise, /"
seems to be the attitude of the legislature. Six
of the seven states have ratified the Colorado
river compact having studied it over and used
human intelligence as to its wording along with
the data gathered by government, state and pr1-
vate experts.
Arizona's legislators are placing Arizona in a
ridiculous position. In effect they are proclaim
ing tsArizona can't read nor write nor understand
but wants two more years of schoolin' to find out
whether the compact is goin to take away their
mess of potash or give EN- the right to demand
more than they knoWed they had a right to git"
Apparently each Doubling Thomas has ''bill'
of some kind he favors in order to protect his
political interests" He wants delay for few
years, thinking that real action might get him IN
bad. If the question was not of such great I'M
portance to all Arizona, all the southwest, plain
case of getting together for common good, our
legislators attempts at hunting cover in petty
games not worthy of comment, would be too
comical for words
With all the data gathered by government ex-
perts, state experts and men who are directly in
terested in the development of the Colorado rv-
er, no one but moron could ask for more infor-
nation unless it was for some personal privi-
lege" that demanded delay.
The Colorado river despite all other reports,
still runs down Hill.
We hope the Arizona legislature will, after due
consideration, agree to this even though legisla-
tive process runs the other way.

A BREATH OF ARCADY

In st. Louis an inquiry in the schools shows
that 40 per cent of the children have never seen
sheep, II per cent have never seen a pig, and IL
per cent have never seen COW. The facts are
respectfully referred to that impractical bunch
of fanatics who are spreading the doctrine that
it is a crime to let children work on farm. The
dense ignorance of hundreds of thousands of city
children is deplorable, and, worse yet, there are
lot of city adults who have no better sense than
to try to make that ignorance denser. If every
city child could spend his summer vacation work
ing on. a. farm, at work suited to his or her
strength, all would be better off mentally and
physically.

TAKING OUT THE KINKS

An example of the way in which the treasury
department is Strengthening the kinks of tax ad-
ministration as practiced by the democratic of
fcehoders is to be found in the fact that millions
of dollars in back taxes are being collected,
while it was necessary to include in the defic-
iency appropriation bill the sum of $4,000, 900 to
reimburse persons from whom the democratic
commissioner had illegally collected taxes. When
the democrats come to discuss these matters on
the campaign stump, they will make no mention
of the coleEtion of back taxes by Mr.. Mellon, nor
of the refund, but they will count the refund in
as part of republican extravaganza, ignoring
the fact that it was neeessitated by democratic
mal-administration.

DEATH OF EDITOR DUNBAR

Editor John @. Dunbar of Dunbars Weekly,
published at Phoenix, died last Thursday. 'Un-
Gle" John was pioneer newspaper man of the
state, having arrived in Arizona over 40 years
ago. He was first connected with the Tombstone
Epitaph in the heyday of that great silver
camp. While connected with many papers in the
state at different times, his main adventures
were the Arizona Democrat, retiring when that
paper was bought by the Gazette. In 1914 he
established Dunbar's Weekly, which he edited
with such vividness as to bring on himself many
libel suits of all kinds, though none ever resulted
in conviction.
AS is very often the case, few could recognize
in the genial old gray-haired man the man who
ran rampant with the pen, telling of his likes and
disikes with freedom few men dare attempt.
His passing marks an era of the old variety of
newspapermen of the early day. May his rest
be more peaceful than his turbulent, eventful
life.

Ex-sERvICE MEN MAY WEAR MEDALS

Because of limitations imposed upon MEM
bers of the regular army in the wearing of med
ais and decorations with civilian clothes, there
has been considerable misunderstanding concern
ing the rights of ex-service men in this regard.
To clear up this misunderstanding, the secretary
of war has issued statement to the effect that
it does not and never has claimed any juris-
diction over ex-service men in this matter. Fur
thermore, the secretary of war expresses it as
his opinion to be very desirable that ex-service
men wear authorized medals and decorations
upon all appropriate occasions with any kind of
civilian clothes.

AWFUL STATISTICS

Americas chewing gum bill is one

At five cents a package, the total
circulation of chewing gum is two
billion packages a year.
By considerable figuring we have
ascertained that the total number of
inches chewed in a year is rs billion,
or 394, $40 miles.
Americans are chewing gum at the
rate of 45 miles an hour.
The cost of chewing one mile is
about 1886, mileage rate that is not
even approached by the railroads.

Calvin Coolidge says In these days, children

judgment of their parents should dictate. Their
pockets are filled with money and out they go to
purchase pleasure, all the pleasure their easy
money will buy The taste for pleasure is form
ed as the taste for thrift and work is killed. La
ter on, in natural development of things, the
taste for pleasure becomes so strong that it must
be satisfied at any cost. If crime has to be re-

other community. The effort to shift the burden
