WE STAND CORRECTED, MARK

Our friend, Fred Breen, editor of the Coconino
Sun, says something good about us in the last IS
sue of his excellent newspaper, as follows:
"The Holbrook Tribune has installed Model IA
linotype. Proud of you, Editor Bryan. If wish
ing you mere prosperity and success is any good,
we wish it on you, Mark. Nothern Arizona is a
wonderful field to help develop, but it is well
worth while
The editor Of the Holbrook Tribune wishes to
thank his neighbor for his good wishes for our
helping to develop northern Arizona, which is a
paradise when the number of opportunities that
arc in evidence in this northern tier of counties
is considered. Truly, there is no piece Of terri
tory of equal extent anywhere in the known world
where so many natural resources are laying DOR
MATT for the hand of man to develop and exploit.
The only mistake our friend in Flagstaff has
made is that the new linotype we have added is
the second one, a Model 8, new from the factory.
We have had model IA for several years, but we
found our rapidly growing business has demand
ed d second machine, which is being installed this
week.
Fred Breen and his Coconino Sun are certainly
doing their part in present northern Arizona S
opportunities to the World.-Holbrook Tribune.

LET'S BE AMERICANS FIRST

IL former Secretary Fall is proven guilty of ac-
cepting money for his influence or any act IN
connection with the Teapot Dome affair, he should
be prosecuted more severely even than the ordln-
airy person guilty of such conduct. The prosecu-
tion of man guilty of accepting bTibe money
while holding high office should be so vigorous
that no other will ever attempt it. We are glad
to note that republican papers over the country
are not attempting to shield Fall. They with one
accord agree that regardless of his political affi-
iations if found guilty, he should suffer the ex-
treIne penalty.
However, we doubt if the democratic members
of the senatorial investigating committee realiz-
ed Just where the investigation was going to lead
them. If they had, we are much constrained to
believe they would not have been so anxious for
the investigation which they presumed would only
lead to trouble for the republican administration
and Mr.. Fall. 1t appears now that President Cool
idge is not asking for any favors but is willing to
let the chips fall where they may, regardless of
parties, believing undoubtedly the American cltl-
zera is entitled to square deal for all alike.
Some thoughtful democrat, making the play
stronger than the rest, broadcasted the idea that
Attorney General Daugherty should not be per-
mitted to- prosecute the case Another thought
full democrat had bright idea and suggested that
former Attorney General Gregory of the Wilson
administration be made special attorney to pros
ecute. President Coolidge agreed to the PROPOSE
ton and now it appears that Gregory has been
receiving an oil salary along with son-in-laW Nc
Adoo. McAdoo to the extent of some $250000
from the Doheny interests. Doheny was d mem
ber of the democratic national committee and a
member OF its platform committee IN It's last
convention. Then up bobs George Creel, past pub
Icity agent for the Wilson administration He
has been in on the oil jackpot.
Mr. McAdoo is still drawing salary of $4,000
per year from Mr.. Doheny's oil companies
Mr. Doheny was one of the largest contributors
to the national democratic campaign fund.
Mr. Doheny told the senate committee that he
had only recently learned that Mr.. Gregory was
employed as an attorney for his companies.
Undoubtedly President Coolidge will withdraw
the appointment of Mr.. Gregory as a special at
torney to prosecute any one in the now famous
Teapot Dome affair for very obvious reasons.
Now, fellow citizens, don't you think it would
be a great good, big American idea to get in be-
hind the whole mess, regardless of politics and
do what we can to help clean up every one guilty
of oiling up free at the expense of the United
States?

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?

Just supposing, to please the various political
groups in Washington that the bonus bill was
passed, the Mellon tax reduction proposal was de-
feated the tariff laws we're repealed and the rail
roads and leading public utilities turned over to
the politicians for government operation.
The bonus would add in round numbers from
S2,00OO00,00O to $5,000,00O,00O expense, rejec-
ton of Melons proposal would continue useless
S300,000,000 tax expenditure annually, repeal of
the tariff laws would do away with S500O00,0OO
annual revenue now secured from this source
while the railroads in less than two years under
government ownership piled up deficit of near
ly $2,000,000,000. This would make pretty good
start toward doubling our present excessive tax
bill.
Think it over, Mr.. Voter, for you mix your own
medicine when it comes to paying taxes.

WHO OPPOSES TAX REDUCTION?-

porcupne for accuracy when it comes to defend
ing his tax reduction figures. He leaves no point
Of attack He answers his critics at every turn,
not with abuse, hot air or evasion, but with plain
statements and figures which even a school boy
can understand.
The opposition to Mr. Melons tax reduction
program comes not from the people, but from
professional politicians who continue to harp along
the old demagogic lines of taxing wealth. Mellon
calmly shows that after you have taxed wealth
out of existence, the burden of government falls
with double force upon the small taxpayer who
has to make up losses which the investor who re-
fuses to utilize his money in productive industry
would under a lower tax system be paying.
If the politicians block the tax reduction meas
ure, they will have robbed the people of over
$500, 100000 for 1924

A HARMONIOUS POLITICAL WAR

Editor Bill Stuart of the Prescott Courier is
certainly an amusing cuss to say the least. He
now solen1nly announces that the democratic par
ty has serious problem before it in handling the
Colorado river compact; some democrats are for
it and some are against it, so Bill concludes that
some sort of plank will have to be adopted at
the meeting of the democratic state central COM
mittee to be held soon, some plank which will
keep the question out of politics."
Evidently Bill neglected to read Gov. Hunts let
ter to Cochise county constituent in which he
flatly says he is going to fight any democratic
candidate for state senator or representative who
is not firmly against the ratification of the pact
We are inclined to believe this same intent goes
for any democratic nominee for any state office.
Yes sir, Bill Your idea and that of Gov. Hunt
for keeping the pact out Of politics is going to pan
out just as efficacously as throwing tomcats over
a clothes line with their tails tied-to prevent
their fighting. No, sir, Bill There can't possibly
be political fight over the ratification of the pact
when Gov. Hunt and Senator Winsor toss their
headgear into the ring for the nomination for
governor on the democratic ticket. Harmony will
be so thick that it can not be chopped apart with
battle ak.

OUR WILD GAME

That so per cent of the wild denizens Of field
and woodland will have paid with their life this
year because of the use of the automobile in hunt
ing is the statement of DR.. William T. Hornaday
of New York City. That is to say, the modern
hunter can easily cover far more territory than
could be covered by the hunter who went afoot or
followed after a horse. Dr. Hornaday says that
four times the former area can be covered by the
automobile hunter. The distinguished director
of the New York Geological Garden thinks that
ureS are adopted.
In addition to protective legislation, DR.. Horn
aday would call on the good craftsmanship of the
hunter. Let the hunter go slow and take rea-
scnable tool, recognizing the peril to wild
life He appeals to the sentiment of self-inter-
est. Otherwise legislation would not be able to
preserve the birds of the air and beasts Of the
field that have SO long made this country of ours
a hunters paradise. The pump gun is accountable
for much useless slaughter of birds.

SANTA FE CAUSES Us BIG YEARLY LOSS

The city water department at Prescott netted
that city $39,314 last year. Flagstaff could do
even better with water supply sufficient for all
demands. This veritable gold mine can not be
worked in the interest of the people owing to the
attitude of the Santa Fe railroad company. By
legal technicaities together with an honest desire
on the part of the city to exhaust every effort to
secure friendly settlement of the water question,
Flagstaff is losing thousands of dollars annually
The Santa Fe would have had multitude of
epieptic fits were they compelled to submit to
such financial loss through the stubborn, dog
in-the-manger tactics of any set of men. The
gorge of the people is rapidly arising and it will
not be long before they will demand action that
will forever terminate the unbearable situation
