ADMISSION TO SEE THE CANYON?

Stephen Mather, director of national parks,
suggested in a recent interview at Phoenix that
he had in mind an admission fee for visitors en-
tering the park 1t was not clear whether this
was to be a charge for autos entering the park or
whether all visitors, including those coming in by
train were to be charged. It might be proper for
the government to charge for any actual service
rendered as is done by many cities in their auto
parks where water, lights, fuel and other accom-
modations are provided for tourists, but general
admission fee for entering the park should and
will cause public protest. The government ap-
propriates millions of money annually for the up
keep and improvement of national parks. It is
the peoples money, consequently why make an
extra charge to those who would like to see
where the money is spent? 1t would be very
much like charging fee to see congress in ses-
sion
We hope that better judgment will prevail and
that our national parks will be kept open and free
of access to all.

PAYING FOR DEAD HORSES

The government of the United States lost $27,-
100000 on appropriations for irrigation projects,
according to the report of special committee
appointed to investigate irrigation projects. The
$27, 100000 loss may have been worth while in
the way of development of irrigation, but at the
same time it shows conclusively just what would
happen. Arizona, not to mention our Lyman dam
debacle os some 100000 loaned by the state and
vouched for by Senator Highlin Golfer, who
sort of fighline scheme.
The government viii probably lose the $27, ,000,-
600 and the taxpayers will have opay their pro-
rata share.
Arizona will undoubtedly lose 100000 to a mill
lion on the Lyman dam proposition and each and
every one Of the taxpayers Of Arizona is now pay
ing their share for this fiasco. But the average
taxpayer should not forget that he helped vote
himself in on this sort of a proposition.

CONGRESSIONAL IMMUNITY


Congress is so constituted that it's members are
immune from all libel laws It's members can
say anything at any time on any subject Have
it published broadcast in the Congressional Rec
ord and no man among the mere voters of the
country can get redress. Speaking of czars, en1-
perors and kings, the United States has elected
whole batch Of blatant orators of this class to Of
flee and guaranteed them immunity from all libel
laws. 49,
If senator or congressman could be held per-
sonaly responsible for his speeches in congress
as the average man could be held responsible in
courts of law, the Congressional Record, the Of
fica publication, would not print onetenth OF the
stuff it is now filled with. ta-
Many people believe the Congressional Record
would not dare print what it does i it was not
the truth Not so. 1t is a record of what sena-
tors and congressman dare say because they are
protected by laws that do not protect the rest OF
we lesser lights of the great commonwealth OF the
United States.
We would suggest that there be constitutional
amendment which provides for the punishment OF
senator or congressman who lies just the same
as law provides for the other liars who do it for
profit and to the injury of his neighbors.

SENATOR DILL-THE PICKLED PATRIOT

April marked the seventh anniversary of
Americas entrance into the World war. Senator
Dill of Washington was member of the house
at that time He voted against the declaration OF
war; He voted against the selective draft act. He
voted against the army reorganization bill to in
crease the standing army. In the course OF his
opposition to the draft act Dill said: Il voted
against declaring war and am one of those who
will be subject to go, too, because of my age and
my not having dependents" But Dill didn't go.
He neither volunteered nor went under the draft
On the other hand, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr,
who was married and had dependents, and was
not liable to the draft, did go. So did both of his
brothers, Kermit and Archie. All the Roosevelt
boys were on the fighting front. Theodore and
Archie were wounded. Kermit was killed.
Dill celebrates the seventh anniversary of
Americas entrance into the war by fathering a
resolution attempting to besmirch the reputation
and name of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr, and calling
upon the president to fire" Roosevelt out of the
service of the government.

BAD ROADS, BAD BUSINESS

Bradstreet's report says: ''Trade and industry
only fair, but improvement in weather gives
hope" Bad weather makes bad roads, bad roads
make bad business. We only mention this report
from Bradstreet's because they only report hard
business facts. The hard business fact the aver
age business man should get into his mind is that
bad weather makes bad roads when bad business
permits of roads being so maintained that spell
of bad weather makes them impossible Roads
and streets are very much the same. If they are
impassable you can expect little business until an
airplane delivery is planned and made success
Some business men do not believe in advertising
nor even good roads if it costs anything. The
few dollars the merchant spends to help central
ize trade in his direction is in comparisons very
small as to the rancher's overhead for fertilizng
his farm.

When one stops to think the democratic party
of such republicans as Herbert Hoover, Admiral
Dewey and Henry Ford to run on the democratic

these leaders would be well satisfied with Coolidge
