WOULD VOTE ON PACT
AT THE FALL ELECTION

The American Legion of Arizona
will back the plan of Mulford Winsor,
president of the state senate, to sub
NIT to the people Of Arizona this year
the proposition of ratifying or reject
ing the Colorado river compact. This
was made known at Phoenix Tuesday
at the meeting of the Legionnaires.
In introducing Winsor, State Com
n1ander Southworth said: "The Amer
ican Legion has been sold on the inn
mediate ratification of the Colorado
river compact. Now, just what can
we Legionnaires do, Senator, to fur
ther the cause 2"
In reply to the commanders query
Winsor stated that petitions are in
preparation to refer the compact to
the people of Arizona at the next gen
eral election, and that he was aiding
those in charge of the petitions. He
added:
''It is he-- and now my purpose to
see that initiative petitions are plac-
ed in circulation at once-these petit
tions are now being prepared the
members Of the Legion can be of great
assistance in securing signatures.
True, the vote of the people would
be entirely advisory, for under the
terms Of the compact it must be rat
flied by the legislatures of the sew
eral states and by congress, but in
my judgment it is necessary to OBJ
tain such an advisory vote, and | am
at a loss to understand why this se~r
has not sooner been taken by some
of the opponents of the pact. Oppo-
sition was based on the grounds that
the people should have the right to
determine the issue Of ratification.
and yet nothing has been done to place
the matter before the people. 1t is
my determination, therefore, to allow
an opportunity for the people of Ari-
zona to speak.
In his address Senator Winsor
pointed out the advantages that would
accrue to Arizona in the way of plac-
ing ex-service men and others on the
soil, adding to the population OF Ari-
zona, attracting capital for develop
1nent of lands and manufacturing en-
terprises, development of mines and
securing greater measure of pros
perity through reduced taxation and
lowering of the costs of living.
Senator Winsor was given a vote
of confidence and pledge on the part
Of the Legion officials that they
would work for the election of mem
bers to the next Legislature favorable
to the pact.
It was the view Of many of the Le-
gionnaires that the vote on the COM
pact should be at the primary election.
instead Of the general election as such
a plan would serve to keep the ques-
tion out of politics. It is a matter of
legislative resolution, and the COVER
nor can have no authority in regard
to it, he not even having the privilege
OF vetoino the proposal. By submit
ting the proposition to the people at
the primary, it is held, no one coulu
make a political football Of it.

Juvenile Piano Recital


Mrs. Margaret Howard Fay's piano
pupils gave an interesting recital last
Saturday night at her home. Many
Of the parents were present and en-
joyed the concert and the evidence of
progress and talent shown by the lit
tie folk. Those appearing on The pro-
gram, and the order of appearance:
Willard Simpson, Ruth Softley, Betty
Wheat, Myra Gold, Barbara Rees,
Margaret Pearson, Ernestyne Fay,
Arthur Pearson, Hazel Allsup, Effie
Allsup, Helen Burman, Bertha Nc
Coraick and Ernestyne Fay and her
mother, the latter number a duet.
Sickness shortened the program some
what, few Of the pupils being unable
to be present. Refreshments were
cream and cake.

If FLAGSTAFF HAD HALF
THE SNOW REPORTED !!

Fred G. Bohm, now in ElCentro,
Calf, who spends his summers in
Flagstaff and is an ardent Flagstaff
fan, recently got wise to the way
people east of here on the National
Old Trails highway are misrepresent-
ing road conditions here and soaring
tourists over the longer, less scenic
and less easily Travelled route south.
He writes under date March 8:
Several days ago my next-door
neighbor said to me, I see by your
car that you are from Flagstaff
said, Yes, / live there part of the
time Well, she said, they have
an awful lot of snow up there don't
they?' | said, Some times they do.
She said, Well! They sure had plenty
when we came out here from Colo
RADIO. You know, we wanted to come
through Flagstaff so bad and wanted
to stop there few days and then go
on up to Grand Canyon, but the snow
was SO deep that we couldn't get
through She said that when they
got over in New Mexico they were
cars were stuck in the snow or broke
down trying to get through, all along
the road and that hundreds had to
turn back and go south from Hol-
brook, and they were advised to go
south from Holbrook and out through
Globe and Miami to Phoenix by the
way Of Blyth to Los Angeles. 81
asked her the time of year they came
out and she said it was the first Of
October. l told the lady that / was
there till the first of November and
/ didn't remember those big snow
banks. had to admit that my eye
sight was getting bad Except on
certain occasions) and that / might
have missed seeing them but couldn't
even remember hearing anybody talk
about such storm. They were
quite peeved because they didn't
come through Flagstaff and go to the
Canyon.
ut seems too bad that so many
people are sent over such route when
the most beautiful scenery in. the
world is right around Flagstaff and
the roads are as good as any and
much better than some of the roads
they travel over"

"Lame Duckers" At 1t

The Lame Duck bowling allies in
the basement Of the Breen-Lewis
building were opened Wednesday
night with good attendance. All the
old-time bowlers were en- masse to
see if years had hainpered their skill.
1t hadn't. The revival seems to have
met with success, and is being receiv-
ed with enthusiasm. Frank LaScala
is in charge. 1t is possible that the
different firms will organize teams
and if SO the competition will be keen.
For this is sport which has always
been popular in America.

To RujId New Trail?

A senate amendment to the interior
department appropriation bill which
would make $615.000 available for
work during the fiscal year beginning
July /, on the American Falls reser-
voir, in Idaho, was accepted by the
house Tuesday.
Insisting on provision for acquire
ment of a government trail into the
Grand Canyon from the south rim,
the house instructed Representative
Cramton, republican, Michigan, and
its other conferees to insist on an
amendment which would appropriate
100000 for the purchase of Bright
Angel trail, in Arizona, or the con-
struction of another pathway into the
canyon. The money would be avail
able until expended and in the event
Bright Angel trail was purchased
from Coconino county, the amendment
provides that the county expend the
100000 in improving the highway
between the Canyon and the Santa
Fe trail
A house provision in the bill to APP
propriate 100000 for purchase of
Bright Angel trail was eliminated by
the senate. The new house amend
ment broadens the original provision
to enable the government to construct
3 trail into the canyon if Bright An
gel trail cannot be purchased.

Prowlers

Last Thursday night Miss Mary
Costigan, proprietor OF tie Orpheum
theatre, saw two men come on her
porch about midnight. They tried the
door and then peeked through the win
dow. She picked up heavy auto
matte revolver and started out. to in
terview them, but they decamped.
They evidently thought she had car
ried the theatre money home with
her, but, owing to arrangements she
has for transfer of her money each
night to bank, all they could have
obtained from the interview would
have been the experience to be deriv-
ed from one end of the automatic,
while he was getting a little exper-
ience in seeing whether it worked
when she pulled the trigger.

FEAR FLAGSTAFF WILL BE
SIDETRACKED BY GALLUP.
TO GRAND CANYON ROAD

Persistent rumors have it that the
Fred Harvey and Grand Canyon nat
ional park people have a well-defined
plan for extension of the highway re-
Gently built to Tuba City on to the
National Old Trails highway at or
near Gallup, N. M. Also that they
are pulling for road from Grand
Canyon to Ashfork as link in a
direct north and south road from
Grand Canyon to the south part of
the state.
One of those most firmly convinc-
ed that this is the plan told a repre-
sentative of The Sun this week that
he believed many of the people at
Grand Canyon have the idea money
can be secured to build this road
from Gallup to Grand Canyon and,
whether Grand Canyon Ashfork
road is or is not built, a large part
Of the tourist travel that now follows
the National Old Trails highway from
Gallup west through Winslow and
Flagstaff, can be, diverted over the
new route, cutting out these towns.
This man also advances the idea
that the Grand Canyon road-direct-to-
Gallup boosters are strong for the
bridge over the Little Colorado at
Lees Ferry, believing automobiles
coming across the river there will cut
into the Gallup-Grand Canyon route
and do direct, to the canyon, avoiding
the longer route this way. He says
one OF the chief motives for boosting
the building Of the bridge is that it
will make the Grand Canyon much
more easily accessible to tourists from
the north and may in that way mimi
nlize the constant menace held out
by the Union Pacific railroad of a
spur line connecting, that railway
with the north rim Of Grand Canyon

Judge S. B. Gilliland has resigned
as police Judge to take effect March
Is, and will leave in few days for

house, should remove any possible To-
cal objection. In fact, one must be
short-sighted indeed, to oppose the
sale OF the trail as provided in the
substitute measure and the additional
provision for the building, by the
government, of a road from Grand
Canyon to the National Old Trails.
The building of this road means
an additional weight removed from
cur county expenses and consequent
lowering of taxes. No true friend of
this county can, apparently, under
present circumstances, oppose the ap-
preparation and the sale of Bright
Angel trail For it is evident Ehis
county will ultimately receive in road
building much more than the value of
the trail.

That newspapers are in the pub

Newspapers make it possible to

Newspaper ads are busy things?
They work all the while speeding

Good goods well advertised sell
