THE ONLY STUMBLING BLOCK

With the ratification of the Santa he compact
bv the unanimous action of the Colorado legls-
lature Arizona is left IN the unenvlaole poSltioh
of being the only one of the Colorado basin states
that did not accept the treaty" and upon our
state administration must rest the stigma OF
having postponed indefinitely the development
of our greatest natural asset.
The natural question is: Why did the COVER
nor and the legislature adopt this attitude!
Their best friends are unable to give saIls-
factory answer-the simple fact is that there
isn't any. There has been some vague talk about
a state built and state-operated dam, but NOBODY
with a grain of common sense believes that any
such scheme could ever be put through lhe
only way in which it could be financed would DE
by the issue of state bonds and there is not a
chance in million that the voters would consent
to raise the debt limit of the state by the tens
Of millions that would be required for such
project
] There has been claim that the division Of
the river flow between the upper and lower
states was unfair to Arizona, but the proponents
of this idea forget that no possible use the upper
states may make will affect appreciably the flow
at the Arizona line. We could well afford to pay
the northern states handsome yearly premium
If they would agree to limit the amount OF water
we shall have to handle. AS a matter OF cold
fact the only power possibilities OF the river
that are worth talking about lie in the Grand
CANYON and Immediately below it. They are IN
Arizona and there is not word in the compact
to prevent our developing them to the fullest
possible extent.
In the meantime California interests appear
to have secured the entire attention of our rep
resentative and our democratic senator, and the
chances are that we shall wake up some fine
morning to find that a beautiful steal has been
organized and that we have sold our birthright
for lot less than the traditional mess Of pot
tage-we won't even get to lick the spoon.
And we may well remember that the Hunt ad-
ministration has done this thing. Nobody wants
a special session of the alleged legislators, but if
a little common sense could be pounded into their
heads or into that of the governor, there might
still be possibility of retrieving the awful blum
der-Jerome News.

OUR HERITAGE IN COLD STORAGE

Thank heavens Arizona has shown its astute-
ness in getting mess of pottage saved from
our heritage. Arizona is the only state OF all
those interested in the Colorado river pact which
failed to ratify and it was practically by unan-
imous vote in each state Arizona now enjoys
the UNIQUE distinction of standing outside and
looking in which proves conclusively that Ar1zo-
ma has more brilliant men who are not members
of the legislature than any other state IN the
union.
Just to show how little they cared for few bill
hon one way or the other bill was introduced
providing for a bond issue by the state for ten
or fifty million, so by gosh, we could build few
dams by our own lonesome, regardless OF any pet
ty federal authority, which 10 a darned repubf1-
can administration anyhow. 1t reminds one OF
DanI Webster's famous remark. Dan1 hadn't
heard of Volstead and wasn't noted for ever hav-
ing arranged his finances beyond the current
day. AS he arose to make one of his famous
speeches an eager, earnest friend sitting next to
him ierked his coat and whispered: Danl, say
something about the public debt Danl, who
was Just beginning to search himself for orator
ical gangway, turned rather peevishly to the b.
E. friend in a half aside, and said: THE public
debt? O. hell, yes! How much is it? I'll pay
it myself"
It is now grand and glorious feeling among
us hereties and heritage owners that no golblast-
ed outsiders can come in tear up our old trails
and build measly cement bullevards on 'em. Yep.
Arizona is safe from progressive molestatlon for
the next twenty years If we can only MAINTAIN
our present legislative efficiency.

=. g WELCOME RUIN

Democratic senators and congressman from
the south assured their constituents that if the
republicans passed the tariff law our foreign
trade would be ruined. The latest statistics
show that in January, 1928, our exports of raw
cotton amounted to $65 900 as compared with
S45, 5,233, 900 in the same month of 1922 under a
democratic tariff, while cotton manufactures
were exported in January, 1928, to the value cf
S1O,5OO, 900 as compared with S7,800,000 in JAN
uary, 1922 If that increase of $22, 100000 in
one month in cotton and cotton goods is fair
sample of the kind of ruin republican tariff
brings, we guess the south would enjoy some
more ruination.

FEDERAL AND LOCAL TAXES

The farmers tax problem is not matter of
federal taxes, but of local taxes Many farm
is paying double the taxes it did ten years ago,
without the slightest increase in its producing
power What the farmer pays to the national
government is small compared with what he pays
to local and state governments. If local and
state governments would reduce expenditures
il the same proportion that the Harding admin
istration has reduced national expenditures,
there would be little complaint of taxation.

Former President Woodrow Wilson has wired
Governor Sweet of Colorado to name Huston
Thompson United States senator to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Samuel D. Nichol-
son, a republican. Son-in-law McAdoo wired
Governor Sweet to appoint Morrison Shaffroth.
This split in the Woodrow family has caused
considerable comment among the politicians OF
the country, who are wondering whether Paw
Wilson OF Son-in-Law McAdoo will control the
democratic party in the jump-off two years from
now.

A few hysterical people are still clamoring that
the United States must do something for Europe,
but not one of them makes single specific sug
gestion as to just what should be done Whether
we should send over an army to check the French
advance into the Ruhr, or issue billion of bonds
to raise money to loan to Europe they do not
say. All they want is for the United States to
do something. Wonder what they would do if
they had control of congress and the White
House?

Under the same mental process as seems to

A headline in democratic newspaper gleefu-
ly says: Gov. Hunt wins in fight to oust Nor
.yiel." 1t may appear to some. densely partisan
members of the democratic party that 1t was-a
victory for Hunt and his party, but from the
side-lines, the resignation of Norviel was moth
ing more than one could expect of man OF
NorvieTs calibFe. He knew that regardless OF
right or wrong the fight would be centered upon
him personally, because he was republican.
The development of the Colorado river could go
hang as long as there was another republican
scalp in sight. He undoubtedly felt that he
might hinder the progress of the development OF
Arizona and the Colorado river things he was
more interested in than merely holding an office
under an administration which has declared it
self hostile to the project. The people of the
state can not help but feel that Gov. Hunts idea
of government is purely partisan and If any one
but a deserving democrat secures any benefit
from his administration, it will be by accident
and not intent. All opposing elements of society
should be exterminated and put out of business.

GAS TEST DISCOVERED

Washington.-The United States

nologists have discovered methods to
simplify the detecting of carbon mon
oxide, most insidious and deadly of
poisonous gases.
1t is possible now to discover with
in three minutes the extent that
person has been affected by carbon
monoxide gas through the extent of
poison saturation in the blood. For
merly it took approximately from "a
to 48 hours before diagnosis could be
made of such cases. The test is affect
ed through simple and inexpensive
instrument which may be carried in
the vest pocket and which requires
no special training to operate.
Many lives are expected to be saved
by the general adoption of this mode
of finding gas poisoning, particularly
in the mining industry as well as
other fields where dreaded gas is a
menace. With this quick diagnosing
it is possible to promptly institute
the proper emergency treatment

is FAMOUS EDIFICE
OLD NORTH CHURCH IN BOSTON
TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
From Its SteepIe Was Displayed Sig.
nal Which Started Paul Revere on
Hs Celebrated Ride.

Everyone has heard Of Paul Re-
vere's ride and how the two lanterns
were hung in the steeple of the old
North church in Boston. But what
every one does not understand and
know is that the North church is an
old foundation, that it was always an
American" rather than a royalist or
government place of worship in Colo
NAL days, and that December 81, last
year, 1t celebrated its two hundredth
anniversary. Bishop Lawrence spoke
and dedicated a memorial of good will
from Boston, Lincolnshire.
The history Of Christ church is
history Of much Of New England. It's
genesis seems to have been that the
Kings chapel by 1922 was not large
enough, that Copp's Hill In those days
was virtually cut off from the rest of
Boston, and was reached by q bridge
where Hanover and Blackstone streets
now intersect, and that divers persons
prepared subscription to build new
church. Rev. Samuel Myles, the first
rector of Kings chapel, caused his
clerk to give notice of a meeting to
his congregation, at which this reso-
luton was passed:
Subscribed Money.
'Laus Dec, Boston, New England.
The second day of September, 1922.
at the request OF several gentlemen
who had purchased piece Of ground

Myles ordered his clerk to give notice
to his congregation, That all those
who were willing to contribute toward
erecting another church at the north
end of Boston were desired to meet
at Kings chapel the Wednesday fol-
lowing" etc.
A committee composed Of Messrs.
Barnes Graves, Cradock, Blount, Glib
bons, Selbey and Monk raised f2,184

scarlet coats of the kings officers and
