The keynote at the initial session to-
morrow afternoon when he fires the

against the big leagues.
Advocating a complete abolition
or high salaries, a total elimination
Of what he terms baseball's greatest
evil. the "bonus." and substantial
reduction In the number of optional
players OH minor league teams.
ONeu said today he would go one
step further and demand that minor
league clubs adhere strictly to the
letter OF the law in the matter OF
the salary limit.
Two other likely issues are the
adoption of a measure to give minor
league players sold to the majors
10 percent Of the purchase price and
the Inauguration of a most valu-
able player award similar to the
enc now in effect in the National ana

absolutely necessary to insure it. But
Arizona has awakened to the dangers
and menace of the Colorado River
Compact and both her legislature,
state engineers and Gov. Hunt have
repudiated it and even the legion
aires have quieted down on that sub
Ject because it is futile with Gov.
Hunt at head of the State to have
the pact ratified. The rats in ratif-
cation have been so furiously exposed
that the people are aroused and It
is lost cause. Rodents in the pact
are plentiful and it will be hard even
to arouse the issue again, though
some are advocating that a vote of
the people should be taken thereon.
Such course at this time would
result only in solidifying the demo-
Gratis, which the republicans don't
want.

NEWSPAPER MAN DIES

Col. A. F. Banta, pioneer newspa-
per man of New Mexico and Arizona,
is dead, having passed to his eternal
rest at the Pioneers Home in Pres
colt last Saturday. The first know
ledge our editor, himself a pioneer
and publisher of Arizona, had of Col.
Banta was in 81 after the editor of
the Socorro Sun was assassinated at
Socorro one Sunday morning when
returning home from church by a shot
from some Mexicans, whom he had
offended by some of his newspaper
articles. The murdered man was a
printer and after the funeral his
widow sought Col. Banta to help her
in getting out the paper, which it is
understood he did for some time.
Col. Banta is the last of the old
time scouts who came to Arizona and
the Southwest over sixty years ago.
At the funeral in Prescott Sharlot M.
Hall, former historian, paid beauti-
full tribute to the publisher and
printer, who used to carry dispatches
for the government from Yuma to old
Fort Apache over so years ago, by
reading her own poem, "At the End
of the Trail"

Phoenix Chamber of Commerce has
put itself on record in opposition to
the Blythe road or any bond issue
therefor This means that it favors
road or highway west thru the state
via Phoenix to Yuma over the Buck
eye-Gila Bend route and east via
Springerville, Clifton, and Duncan.
This does not bode much encourage
ment to Wickenburg. If our brethren
from Aguila, Salome, Vicksburg,
Bouse, Parker, and Blythe want us
to raise malemute howl, we suggest
that day be set apart when about a
hundred motorists visit the Chamber
of Commerce at Phoenix and seated
in their autos they may all in accord
set up dirge howl that will raise
the dead. In the meantime, if the
president of the Phoenix Chamber of
Commerce is caught in office, we sug-
gest that they use their horns to at
tract his attention, thereby showing
how serious we take his decisions to
injure our highway after all the
money we have spent on it. Phoenix
makes it necessary to blow our own
horns, since nobody else will do it for
us.

This Power
Business
lEpTToRIALl

CEATTLE'S city light and hydro-eectric projects
~ have proved successful and sound business enter
prises. Let's keep them that way.
The purpose Of the city light department is to fur
nsh cheap light to residents of Seattle and to develop
the community by affording cheap power. But city
officials should hesitate before giving power away at
half its cost of production.
That is what is contemplated some city officials
fear in the contract sought by the Puget Sound Pulp
& Paper Mill Co.. concern organized in February
Capital back Of this concern is of unknown stand
ing. 1t was incorporated in Olympia in February by
two Seattle attorneys, neither of whom have any
known affiliations with paper producing companies
The contract seeks to buy $4,000 kilowatts of con-
tinuous electric power for period of 80 years. 1t
offers to pay s33,426 per month"; or about SIS per
kiowatt. 1t wants prior claim on all power to be
produced by the citys plants and also asks an option
on 10000 additional klowats daily during the next
seven years.
The city would be compelled to build steam plant
with $4,000 kilowatt capacity to stand by in case of
accident to the hydro-electric supply.
Light Superintendent J. d. Ross has verbally in
dorsed this proposal tho it is claimed the price Of
fered is below production cost.
Ross knows lot about electricity. He wants to
see the ctys project developed. He wants the Skagt
built This contract, if fulfilled would require the
immediate construction of the Ruby dam and the
second Gorge unit. Ross believes that when the new
skagit projects completed the city would not lose
Z on the Pulp Co.'S contract. That may be true.
But other paper interested in Seattle
hydro-electric current These firms are already
established and one has offered $50 per klowatt for
power That is profitable figure.
1t would seem sound business to sell the city IS power
for the highest price 1t also would appear sensible
to make the Gorge plant pay before contracting to
deliver additional power
It is not essential that the second Gorge unit be
constructed at once 1t is vital that the present
public investment in hydro-eectrc plants be safe
guarded
The Star believes the city council should act de-
liberately this proposed contract Let's see what
we have at the Skag for $11000000 before launch
ing on another campaign of expenditure.

EXCLUSION LAW

Coolidge Said to Be in Favor

WASHINGTON. May ,. prcsi.
dent coolldEc's probable action on

by the senate and house.
The White Hotze statement yes.
terday which said the president

ranged without giving affront 10
Japan. was held 20 shed no new
light on his attitude toward the
measure.
II was pointed out today that this
was only a reitcration OF the stand
he took when the bin was passed.
That the statement meant that
Coolidge had abandoned his an.
nonnced plan for Arranging for
exclusion by treaty instead OF by
law and would sign the immigration
bin without further attempts TO
modify the Japanese exclusion pro.
vision, was contended By some.
But others declared that there
had been no authoritative indica-
tiou that the president had dropped
this effort and they did not CON
strue yesterdays statement as
meaning this.
In best informed quarters II was
held that the first interpretations
were exaggerated. 1t was believed.
however. that Mr.. Coolidge would
