WILL ATTEMPT TO FIND
HOMES FOR ORPHANS

In undertaking to see that 100000
orphans of World war veterans will
receive proper institutional and home
care, the American Legion has pledg-
ed itself to definite program of
legislation as we'll as relief, according
to George A. Withers, chairman of the
Legion's national committee on child
welfare. Mr.. Withers emphasizes the
need for proper supervision, of orph-
ans in the home where possible, and
for that reason, the Legion will under
take in many states to insure proper
legislation looking, toward an efficient
mother pension system.
Accordingly the Legion platform has
been outlined by Mr.. Withers as in
Guiding mothers aid, temporary and
permanent foster homes, permanent
home placement, and residence for
necessary periods in institutions. The
Legion already has accepted the
sponsorship of two institutional prof.
ects for World war orphans. One is
now in oueration at Otter Lake, Mich,
where the organization and its auxil-
iary first began to care for orphans
two wears ago. A second is near In
dependence, Kansas, where a tract OF
land has been accepted as gift and
endowed through Legion activity.

PHOENIX POLITICIAN
REVIEWS DEMOCRATIC
SITUATION In STATE


Arizona democracy appears to pc
hesitating over two problems wheth-
er to hold state advisory CONFER
ence and whether the Colorado river
compact is. or is not, prolitical ques-
tion. IF q convention be held, as
was done two years ago at Tucson, Tor
determination OF issues and nomlna-
tion OF officials, it probably will be
with the active opposition OF the ele-
ment of which Gov. Hunt is the lront
and center, with inclusion OF union
labor. This same element IS that
which prevented ratification OF enc
compact in the last legislature and
which, ever since, rather nlyste1iously
supported, has been maintaining an
anti-compact campaign, which prom
ises to be still more active IN the
months before the election.
With g few exceptions, the active
anti-pactists are democrats of the rad
zeal side of the party. Conservative
democrats generally, together with
most of the voting strength Of the
western and northern counties OF the
state are for the compact, as the first
step in securing federal construction
of flood control and storage works on
the Colorado river. The radicals pro-
fess to regard as inimical to state IN
terssts ANYTHING that does not main
tain the state government In full con-
troll of the river, its water and its po-
tential power. An attempt to assert
states right in the matter IS attend
ed with reiterated assertion that vest
ed interests in California and Lower
California are trying to steal Arl-
zona's birthright."
All this is bringing out expression
of a degree of impatience on the
part of the conservative element,
which sees in the opposition only jeal-
Gus desire to block one of the great
est reclamation plans of the century,
one in which Arizona would reap enor-
NOUS benefit, in provision of water
and power, even though California
also might profit in similar degree.
A leading democratic daily newspa-
per, one understood very friendly to
the Douglas interests of its party, edl-
torially states its conclusion that be
fore a program of opposition to the
compact is prepared, it should be as
certained what will happen if Arizona
continues to withhold ratification. Ii
an unfavorable attitude on the part
Of this state promises to hold up de-
velopment of the rivers resources in
definitely, it might be best to accept
the agreement and see what happens"
There can be no doibt that the
main issue in the democratic primary
will be the compact, with Mulford
Winsor supporting it, with Hunt OPP
posing and with Amos A. Belts on the
fence, if he is iu~the campaign at all.
Whether republican or democratic, the
legislators elected from Yuma, Mo
have and Coconino counties will be
men strongly for the compact. In
nearly all the other senatorial or rep
resentative districts this issue more
likely will determine the result than
the personality of the candidates or
even their politics.
This prospect is far from pleasing
to the democratic leaders who are not
The Coconino sun., 1924-02-29


within the gubernatorial set. Without
doubt the governor is of beilef rhat
a majority Of his party will rally un-
der his banner as it did two years
ago. Even with this much granted,
there still will come split IN the
party that might mean defeat in No
vember and the election of republl-
can spro-compact, majority in the
legislature. Thus far, the compact
IS the only real issue of the state
campaign, for the republican conven-
ton undoubtedly will indorse it, as
we'll as number of the county DEM
ccYatic gatherings.
To degree the McAdoo situation
will have its effect on the state cleo
ton. Hunt and his supporters are for
McAdoo and the governor has wired
the Californian declaration OF personal
opinion that the oil spray never touch
ed the garments On the addressee.< a
month or so ago the Arizona strength
appeared assured to McAdoo. It is
not SO today. Underwood posters are
appearing in many windows and he
appears to be the conservative choice
though the labor element, especially
in the railroad towns, and the state
administration, remain steadfast in his
cause.
With few exceptions, the presen;
state officials, all democrats, want te
retain their jobs. State Auditor r..
H. Ramsey, retiring, his place is want.
ed by Wayne Hubbs, whose tenure as
state treasurer is limited by law te
the end Of this year. 1t is understood
that reelection will be sought by Sec
retary of State J. H. Kerby, Attorney
General j. w. Murphy, Superintendent
of Public Instruction c. 0. Case, Mine
Inspector Tom Foster, Supreme JUS
tice Frank Lyman (elected two years
ago for an unexpired ternl) and sev.
eral commissioners. Notwithstanding
his announcement short time ago
there is doubt if D. /. Johnson again
will seek a place on the corporation
commission, though, as treasurer OF
commissioner, he has been in office
since the date OF statehood, February
IA, 1912. Charles E. Mcmillan, Ras
ieweier, is an active candidate for tho
place now held by Johnson.
State office is given no large emol-
unent in Arizona. The governor re
receive S6500 year, secretary o.
state $500, attorney general $4,000,
treasurer, auditor, mine inspector
school superintendent and corporation
and tax commissioners $4,000 each

School Notes
: @*++@4ss4s4*4*.*s

Last Friday the pupils of Flagstaff
high school held memorial services IN
honor of Arizona's statehood day,
Washingtons birthday and Lincoln's
birthday, and paid tribute to the
late President Wilson all at once. The
program was well planned and ex-
tremely we'll earned through. In
fact, by means of the pupil radio-fans
General Washington was persuaded to
give a portion Of his famous farewell
address over the radio to the 'assenb-
led pupils, who were much impressed.
In honor of the anniversary of Ari-
zona's becoming a state the junior
class gave a pageant depicting early
cowboy life in the territory, with the
boys bedecked in chaps, guns, ten gal
Ion hats and huge spurs. They sure
showed life as was in We goode old
DAYS Of Arizona's infancy. Then the
scene shifted to the big time when
Arizona became a states of the Union.
There was shooting, shouting and GER
Aeral celebrating. 1t was so we'll done
that it gave real thrill to the spec
tators, some of whom reached for the
guns they hadn't packed for years.
And then they realized that them
DAYS was gone never to return. Ane
some of them sighed DIT with the
realization.
The rest Of the program was:
Freshman Wilson's early life, Louise
Womack; Wilson's political life, Jo-
sephine Wilson; Wilson's later years.

MAY GIsT 100000 IN CASH

Possibility of federal aid in the
amount of 100000 for a portion Of
the Rice-Springeville road is contain
ed in bill introduced by Congressman
Carl Hayden and referred to the COM
nlittee on Indian affairs.
The bill authorizes an appropriation
of $4,000 from any tribal funds to
the credit of the Indians of the Fort
Apache reservation during 1924 and
a similar sum for 1925, provided the
state of Arizona pays the other half
of the cost of construction of the road.
In an attachment to Mr.. Hayden's
letter, which is addressed to Frank

was placed before the red men in

approval.
