Why Big Business Opposes
Arlzona's Pact Views

The business interests look with
alarm at any condition which is
menacing the profits and perquis-
ties of power development, or re-
stricts national combines in in
dustries and appropriation of ma
tional resources. Look how the
American institute of Business,
with its powerful allied CONNER
ciyl associations antagonized the
leasing of Muscle Shoals to Hen
ry Ford. Fear of competition is
the bogie which has aroused the
merchants and manufacturing in
terests of the east. Henry Ford
in charge OF Muscle Shoals would
be a dangerous rival of big power
computations not necessarily ex-
elusive to auto building alone.
The bogie of possible competition
was stirred to affect Congress,
and prevent federal leases fall
ling into hands outside the great
power combine. Henry has been
temporarily stalled and has
turned his attention to a new
project in Minnesota.
Gov. Smith of N, Y. has sensed
the encroachment of the federal
power promoters upon the power
resources of his state in the mat
ter Of water power rights, be-
cause of financial impediments
fostered by politicians represent
ing the power interests. He pro-
poses to test constitutionality of
the federal water set. This seems
necessary to keep the power re-
sources of the Niagara from be-
ing forever bottled up by the big
power combine.
The Colorado pact, is another
idea of this huge power trust in
the west which proposes to rob
Arizona of it's power resources,
if they have to invoke federal aid
as last resort rather than let
Arizona develop her own power
resources and derive the revenue
she is entitled to therefrom.

University Extension Work OF
Local Swastika Clubs

Great credit is due Mrs. Jacobs
who SO faithfully worked with
the children and it is regretted
she will not be here next year to
carry on the club work in which
she has been ably assisted by Mrs.
Fuel. Mrs. Campbell and Mrs.
Henson have supervised work of
the Busy Bees, meeting with this
group once a week. The quality
of work with children whose age
ranges from z to 10 years, is so
good that the ladies must feel
somewhat repaid for their time
and effort. All have served with
out compensation. The clubs
work has been under direction of

The Big Brother.

Henry was nineteen and his little
brother was six, Henry took a big
brothers interest In his younger
brother and tried to pass on the train
ing and the admonitions that had been
so generously bestowed on him. Little
Ben was in need Of them. fot his
father spoiled him dreadfully.
He had been very strict with the
other children. They had to obey on
the instant. Their manners, their
speech, their lessons were watched
and sharply checked up If they were
below the family standard
When Ben came along all this was
changed. He didn't pretend to obey.
He stamped his feet and bade defiance
70 any one who even suggested that
he do something displeasing to his
wishes. He left doors open or banged
them, he scattered his belongings
up. He used whatever of the belong
ings of the others he chose. He made
wild swipes all over NelPs new note
book and played horse with Henry's
beloved cane.
At the table he was at his worst,
eating with his fingers. refusing any
thing he didn't fancy and reaching
about for what he thought might
please him. When he licked the sugar
off his buttered bread Henry attempted
to correct him.
You let him alone" thundered his
father. I'm here to correct him.
You attend to yourself and that will
give you plenty to do. You ought to
be ashamed to pick on your little
brother"
Henry was angry. He knew that he
had not been picking on his little
brother, but that he had been trying
to keep his little brother from be-
coming a nuisance to himself and to
other people.
Pick on him." he retorted, why he
doesn't give one a minutes peace.
He's kicked me all through dinner.
He has kicked the legs of the table
until they are a sight. He ought to
have on his slippers and he won't put
them on. He's torn Nell's library and

turn. Never you mind what he does
