BUSINESS APHORISMS

1t does not follow that a peddler or
petty salesman has to be a petty
crook. Neither does the president of
great corporation.
Dishonesty of big business is pre-
sumed to be impersonal, unless cam
paign contributions are involved.
Then it seems to be placated, because
somebody's axe must be ground
When a bank cashier absconds, no.
body puts that down as general rot
tenness of bankers. But when a
chain of banks allows one or more of
them to fail, it is termed and assumed
to be business dishonesty-which it
generally is.
All business cannot be 100 per cent
honest, neither can it be 100 per cent
dishonest. Only five per cent of all
business failures are designated as
fraudulent. Commercial bribery in
the form of jObbers' commissions and
the misrepresentation that go with
it are the most serious forms of bus
mess dishonesty.

DAYS OF '4s

The Days of 40 in Globe are now a
thing of the past, except in the mem
ories of the thousands who attended
the mine towns great celebration.
Probably no celebration ever staged
in the state was as complete as the
'49er show and certainly never did a
community in the state enter so
whole-heartedly into the spirit of the
celebration.
The hundreds who attended the eel
ebration from Phoenix are unanimous
in voting the people of Globe the fin
est of hosts and one and all declare
the celebration should be an annual
affair, keeping alive the spirit of the
men who first arrived in this state
endured the privations, fought the In
dlans, discovered our great mines,
founded our towns and brought or
derly government to our state.
The first celebration was a huge
success, but we venture to predict that
succeeding celebrations will become
famous throughout the west and bring
much favorable advertising to Globe
and the State. Gazette.

WORLDS RECORD FOR sPUDs

The worlds record for potatoes pro
duced on a single acre has been
yanked across the Atlantic from Great
Britain and was bestowed upon the
San Joaquin Delta, which on a meas
ured acre in the Rindge tract below
Stockton, yielded the enormous total
of 57,752. rs pounds of the spuds OF
the Burbank variety. The previous
best acre yield in Great Britain was
I53,760 pounds
Imagine approximately two car
loads of potatoes to the acre. or
nearly 1000 bushels All the leading
state, federal, and county agricultur-
alists and officials were on hand to
celebrate the event which added new
laurels to California as a producer of
son attended the weighing and check
ing of the potatoes in the Delta.
Standing on an improvised platform
in the midst of high stacks of pOta-
toes, the wizard told the admiring
throngs how he had succeeded in de-
veloping the variety which bears his
name and which today holds the
worlds record.
The best previous records in this
country were 692 bushels in Nevada
and 700 bushels in Maine.

Heard plans to develop the Colorado.
Heard is always going to develop the
Colorado. but who is he going to dew
elop it FOR? This secrecy points un-
mistakeably to q fear that the people
may guess that Colorado River devel-
opment will be like the highway de-
velopment-mostly for Heard proper
ty and subdivisions. Hearing and
seeing is believing; but we have yet
Ito hear-never having heard how
Heard is going to do anything before
he does it.
The League of Nations-which is
Isidestepped by the U. S.-meets in
Rome on December 5th. Democracy
believes in a league of nations; pluto
cracy and republicanism always casts
it aside because it means abrogation
wealth by profiteers in exploiting
humanity
It's wonderful what camouflage the
republican press is putting out these
days about Roosevelt supporters and
building trades supporting Coolidge.
But through it all the evidence at the
trial Of Secretary Fall in Los Ange-
les proves his secret, corrupt connec-
ton with republican administration
to make fraudulent leases of govern
ment oil reserves.
1t is getting perfectly plain that
the rich are getting richer and the
poor are getting poorer-and God
alone knows where it all is going to
end. But have you noticed tbs the
poor who always raise the large fam.
lilies. And yet with it all there has
been progress in most of the things
that make life worth while.
Capitalists Especially the big elec-
trical power promoters) look with
alarm on the increase of public own
ership. In the Colorado river com
pact capital is planning huge profits
thru political control The theory
of state ownership over the resources
of the Colorado river by either Ari-
zona or California, or both, is un-
doubtedly popular and right, based on
wide information and experience. The
government is everywhere setting
aside reservations of timber, coal,
oil and power possibilities The good
Lord and Mother Nature put the coal,
oil and minerals into the ground and
it doesn't seem quite right that a
mere handful of citizens should own
and make all the profits from Nature's
bounty. War has taught Americans
the dangers Of profiteering politicians
and Arizona has had an object les
son in the steal outlined in the Col
orado compact.

THE LINEUP

On the Republican ticket for the April Primaries we have some of the old guard and some of the new, yet the voter will have hard time choosin his man. One and all are good. If the vo ter has Democratic Sympathies, he will be in u e same predicament.
 There is little choice between the Republican candidates for the governor ship preference. Cash Cole is undoubt edly popular for man of his age, but his age would seem to be a drawback. If he were 43 instead of B he would be better fitted to take over the respon abilities of the high office of governor. Valentine, on the other hand has the experience which is lacked by his com petitor.
 The candidates for Attorney General is another matter. Both Rusteard and Coppernoll are able attorneys, and there is little to choose between them, one thing however, would seem to give Coppernoll an advantage, and that is the fact that however hard he may have worked, Rustgard's incumbency has not been signalized by any brilliant sue. cess.

LET THE WOMEN DO THE WORK
 THIS TIME

Wives of members of the M C Carthy IglOo of Pioneers have interested themselves in the matter of paying eff the balance of the mortgage on ihe Pioneer hall. We have been l.queSted to announce that the aid of all the ladies in town will be solicited to give dance on March 29. The men claim that the dance they gave last Friday was the acme of social success. But say. that isn't a marker to what this will be.
 And the women are going to do all the work. All that the men need do is to come and enjoy themselves. There will be two floor managers to see that things are kept moving. And there is to be refreshments punch for the thirsty, at all hours, and at midnight a free lunch of home made sandwiches, cake and cof fee.
 Tickets will be OH sale before next Saturday, Mrs. Henry Olsen having agreed to do her best to separate every man in town from the price of a ticket entitling him to attend the best dance of the year. So if there be any man who hates himself too much to have a good he'd better stay strictly to home until after the 20.
 IL is understood that there re mains but comparatively small amount of the mortgage unpaid, and with the cooperation of eve ry one in this affair, it can be al most settled. The ladies have hin ted at some good old fashioned dOings, such as apron and neck tie socialS and box socials in the future to hel D on much needed repairs to the hall.
