GIVE EN- SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD"

The federal judge at Helena, Montana, who dis
charged doctor who had been charged with hav-
ing given over 100 prescriptions for alcohol III
three months, used reasoning mind. Congress
permits the use of alcohol for medicinal purposes
The Volstead bureaucrats made a ruling that
doctor could prescribe so much, no more. Con-
gress did not pretend to know how much alcohol
a doctor might or might not use, nor how many
patients he would or would not treat - treat is
good (Some patients are really treated) But the
Volstead fellows claim to know. 1t is not ques-
tion of whether alcohol is good or bad for pa
tient. Congress permits doctors to prescribe it
mad does not pretend to know how many patients
he should have. The Vostead fellows know
exactly-only 100 patients in so days. If the con-
sttution said that no one physician should have
more than 100 patients in so days, it might be de-
clared unconstitutional, or, even if they said he
must have 100 patients within 80 days, it might
cause difficulties for some doctors. Carried to a
logical conclusion, narcotics should be placed on
the same basis. If doctor should unfortunately
have hundred cases within the first few weeks,
it can be readily seen how whole bunch of pa
tients must of necessity keep being sick or die
off until the 80 days were up. Of course every
one knows that many innocent must suffer for 2
few guilty, but bureaucratic ruling as to how a
doctor must treat his patients is only one of the
long list of odd rulings along the same lines. The
only remedy we could suggest is to cut alcohol out
entirely and advise doctors of something just as
good"

IS THE SANTA FE ASLEEP AT THE SWITCH?

The question of what Flagstaff is going to do
about an additional water supply is looming large
again At the present time there are 100000 gal
Ions of water running daily into the city reser-
voils or Just about sufficient for the needed daily
supply The large reservoir contains about n feet
of water and can not be filled because of the con-
dtion of the flow line to the springs, while four
million gallons are going to waste daily. Ii more
water was turned into the pipe line we would
probably lose our present supply.
About two months ago Santa Fe engineers went
over the proposition in detail with the city coun-
ell and at that time agreed upon proposition to
present to higher officials of the Santa Fe 1t was
fair. square and aboyeboard and agreed upon by
all concerned
Since the proposition was entered into two
months ago. nothing has been heard from the
railroad officials They seem to have completely
forgotten that there was such place as Flag
staff on the map.
People locally are commencing to doubt the sim
cerity of the Santa Fe officials and eonstrain-
ed to believe their apparent interest was merely a
bluff to placate the people here for the time be-
ing, else why absolutely ignore the proposition?
The Santa Fe needs the additional water as bad
as the city of Flagstaff and admits it. The urgent
need for early action in the matter is known per-
fectly well to the Santa Fe people They know
that delay is direct injury to the people of Flag
staff.
Can it be the railroad officials are desirous of
playing the game of dog in the manger?'
How long should the people of Flagstaff be
compelled to stand this sort of tactics the part
of the railroad? The railroad is in possession of
every detail and has full knowledge of the rather
desperate condition that confronts next winter;
not fact has been hidden from them and they
know the people of Flagstaff are desperately in
earnest on the subject of improving the water
supply and doing it at once.
The whole water proposition was based a
friendly understanding and for the mutual bene-
fit of all concerned, but apparently the Santa Fe
has gone to sleep and it may take desperate meas
ures tosawaken them to realization that Flag
staff must and will have action soon.
Another year has gone. We are facing another
winter and nothing definite has been done.

FREIGHT RATE DISCRIMINATION

For a great many years Arizona has been ruth
lesslv Disseminated against in freight rates as
well as passenger accommodations Arizona seems
to have been classed as "back wash" territory
with no influence or possible chance OF coming
back strong enough to give the pioneer chance
against other influences. Even now Phoenix ad-
vocates "back wash" road to the coast, hand IN
hand with southern CALIFORNIA; idea OF milking
this section of the country, but without one lota
of an idea Of helping develop it. :,
Arizona is even offered some more back WASH
in the Boulder Canyon dam proposition wherein
Nevada gets the dam and Arizona can have the
"back wash" from the dam.
Arizona needs capital for its development, just
as California needs it, but Arizona does not need
Eastern or California brains to misrepresent US
to the world at large in order that our resources
NAV be taken away by "our friends"
Arizona so far at least, has never had lnflu-
ence enough to protect herself from big railroad
corporations. They legislate locally and we pay.
Arizona has never so far ever had look In on
legislation affecting the an1assed mining corpor-
atons. who play all sides of the game, regardless

WANT POSTERITY'S APPROVAL

About the most difficult argument against the
ratification of the Colorado river pact is the very
neutral statement of the opposition that: "Mebby
there is something wrong with it. Anyhow, we
want more time to study it. And we believe if
given few years time we may be able to find out
why we don't want it. There may be some pol
itics in it that we haven't discovered"
1t is difficult indeed to pin any one of the OBJ
jectors down to any more definite statement Gov
ernment experts have gone over it. surveys and
data compiled for years, but these few conscien-
tious objectors want more time-apparently suf-
ficient time to secure the approval of their pos
terity.

CUT OUT THE BUNK

While it has been popular pastime to lambast
the sugar industry and blame the rise in price to
the slight protective tariff which saves sugar
beet industry from destruction precious little has
been said about the money which western farm
ers will receive as the result of advanced sugar
prices
1t is very popular for politician to howl about
the necessity for helping the farmer and in the
next breath, or rather the next speech, show the
iniquity of high sugar prices.
A good price for sugar will not cost the average
family IS a year more than low price which
would mean starvation for the sugar beet farmer
but this fact is never pointed out.
Every user of sugar will profit ten fold as the
result of farmers having money to spend con-
trasted with their inability to buy supplies and
pay their bills if they were not receiving good
price for sugar beets.-Ex.
