The Coconino sun., 1924-01-25

Uniformed the administration of its in
tentions to send a warship with troops
to Caracas to enforce the collection
of debts, President Roosevelt inform
ed the ambassador that this was con-
trary to the principles of the Monroe
Doctrine and asked the ambassador to
communicate this information to the
German kaiser for an immediate re-
ply. After waiting indefinitely for a
reply from the kaiser, President
Roosevelt called in the ambassador
and said, IF a reply is not forthcoming
within the next twenty-four hours the
American fleet will proceed at once
to the Venezuelan coast to prevent
Germany from carrying out her
plans" Germany Immediately COM
piled with this request and notified
the president that it would not at
tempt to use force in collecting its
debts from Venezuela. In 1905 the
president appointed a receiver Of GUS
toms for Santo Domingo and effected
its deliverance from debt. These two
latter cases are somewhat an extern
sion of the original meaning of the
doctrine. 1t has been characterized

t'police power" over the weaker ma
tions which were unable to pay their
just debts. In his message December,
1905, President Roosevelt announced
that the United States was the Gin
ternaional policeman Of the western
hemisphere" and that the United
States feels no land hunger or enter
tains any projects regards other ma
tions of the western hemisphere save
for their welfare /. and no in
reference on the part of the United
States if the nations keep order and
pay their just debts"
This extension of the principles of
the Monroe Doctrine over the weaker
American republics was strongly re-
sented by them. So Elihu Root in
his speech before the Pan-American
congress at Rio Janeiro, August, 1906,
modified the tone of Roosevelt's pol
icies when he said that the smallest
and the weakest nations "are entitled
to as much respect as those of the
greatest empire" and that 1--WE
neither claim nor desire any rights,
privileges or powers that we do not
concede to every American republic"

were again extended so as to apply to

to that ancestry.
One of the results was white faced
buffalo, said to be the only one in ex-
istence. He is still a conspicuous
member of the herd.

ually busted up.
Lorum Pratt also helped drive in
the herd. The story goes that in Law
erkina, small town in Utah, south Of
Lund, there was a big Durham bull
in a barn. Laverkim was a fierce
cuss, always aching for a fight. One
of the buffalo bulls casually saunter-
ed up and looked through the barn
window at the bull. The latter took
the opposite side Of the barn away
with him in his hurry to leave there.
r. L. Neill of Flagstaff was there
at the time and saw the sad parting.
It is believed that a Fredonia man
named Vaughn is interested with
Owens in the present ownership Of the
herd.
When the buffalo were first brought
into this county they were located in
"Jump-Up" valley. But as the herd
increased they reached out, going into

many had been successful in the past
World war, the Monroe doctrine would
have been overthroWn.
Effective Application of Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine had smooth
sailing" during the first four decades
of its existence, and without any SER
ious European interference, and 1T
was not until 1861 that Napoleon Ill,
Emperor of France, attempted to Sc
cure a foothold in Mexico, by over
throwing the existing government and
placing Prince Macmillan of Austria
on the throne of Mexico. The United
States protested against such action,
but being engaged in a great Civil
war at that time could not enforce her
policy. AS soon as the Civil war was
over, a large American army was sent
to the Rio Grande river to enforce our
protest. Consequently France with
drew her army, Macmillan fell into
the hands of the Mexican army, was
shot and this put an end to Napol-
cons dream in the western hemis-
phere.
In 1895 the Monroe doctrine was APP
piled in boundary dispute between
Venezuela and British Guiana which
was brought about by discovery of
gold in the disputed territory. Eng
land at first refused to submit the
matter to "arbitration," fearing that
the decision might be adverse to her
wants and thereby lose a portion of
her valuable claim. President Cleve-
land, in keeping with the spirit Of the
Monroe Doctrine, made several at
tempts to have the British govern
ment settle the matter by arbitration
and their refusal brought out the Wig
orous statement, "arbitrate or fight. :
Needless to say the question in dis
pute was amicably settled. At this
time Secretary of State Olney gave a
brief and modern Interpretation Of the
Monroe Doctrine, when he said that
its "single purpose and object was
that mo European power should
forcibly deprive an American state of
the right and power Of self-govern-
ment and of shaping for itself its
own political fortunes and destinies." "
Another case of national aggrand-
izement was thwarted during Roose-
velt's administration in 1902, when the
United States prevented Germany
from collecting by force of arms debts
due German financiers from Vene-
zuela. When the German ambassador

powers. When Japan attempted to
get control of territory on Magdalena
Bay in southern California the United
States senate passed the following
resolution August, 1912:
Resolved, that when any harbor or
other place in the American continent
is so situated that the occupation
thereof for naval or military purpose
might threaten the communication or
safety of the United States :. could
not see without grave concern the act
ual or potential possession of such
harbor or other place by any govern
meTt, not American, as to give that
government practical power or control
for naval or military purpose"
Present Significance
The great idea underlying the Mon
roe Doctrine is that nations have a
right to determine their own policies
in the establishment of their institu-
tions and government (without inter-
position on the part of the stronger
powers.) In our early history the
United States protected the weak re-
publics from outside foreign interpo-
sition. This principle is vital today
for President Wilson in his public ut
terances emphasized the idea of "self-
determination" as a world policy.
In 1917 President Wilson said: 81
am proposing, as it were, that the
nations with one accord adopt the doc
trine of President Monroe as the doc
trine of the world; that no nation
should seek to extend its policy over
any other nation or people, but that
every people should be left to deter
mine its own way of development, un-
hindered, unthreatened, unafraid, the
little along with the great and pow
erful." To what extent its principles
have been accepted "as the doctrine
of the WORLD is rather difficult to
estimate at the present time. How
ever, as a concession to the United
States, the Monroe Doctrine was de-
clared unaffected by the League
covenant. The United States senate
did not accept the covenant of the
League of Nations but the attitude of
the present administration in calling
the disarmament conference and in its
advocacy Of the "World Court" and
the offering of our advisory and moral
support in the council Of nations in
the interest of better international re-
lationsl1ip in the adjustment of post
war problems seem to Indicate a
rather liberal Interpretation of the
principles Of the Monroe Doctrine.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Address Delivered Before Flagstaff Rotary Club by
Thomas Superintendent Flagstaff Schools

with the view of extending their sys-
tenn of government to this henis-
phere-or it might be characterized as
Autocracy versus Democracy.
United States Opposes Intervention
The British minister, George Cam
ming, proposed that the United States
join England in declaration against
such intervention, but John Quincy
Adams, then secretary OF state,
thought that the United States should
make an Independent declaration and
proceeded to formulate Americas
policy" as set forth in President
Monroe's message to congress, De-
cenjber 2, 1923. According to this
message President Monroe gave warn
ing that any attempt by the auto
cratic monarchies of Europe "to ex-
tend their system of interposition on
of intervention to any portion of this
hemisphere would be considered by
the United States "as dangerous to
our peace and safety or in other
words, that Americas policy was
.non-intereference in European af-
fairs" and to Europe "hands off" in
American affairs.
In a later section of the same mes
sage a second view was expressed,
"that the American continent was no
longer subject to new colonization"
This was aimed at Russia, which was
now engaged in enlarging her empire,
and was planning to set up a colony
at San Francisco which was then on
Spanish soil-this was to be Russia's
remuneration for helping Spain in put
ting down revolutions at home and
assisting in regaining her lost coll
onies.
These two declarations are the seed
from which has grown the Monroe
Doctrine of today. Great Britain
gave her unqualified support to the
doctrine as announced by President
Monroe and has been loyal support
er ever since. However, Germany has
opposed it quite strenuously for it

fifty cents for each additional set un-
til they have received 10 in all Then
they pay the ten spot over again and
the process begins again. These
groups of plates are numbered alike
except for the letter which follows
the number These run A, B, G, ETC.,
and are used to identify the partie-
ular car. For example, dealer gets
the license bearing the numbers IL
26-A. His second set Of license plates
would be numbered 11-26-B, his third
would bear the letter G. and SO on until
he had used up ten sets. Then he
would be issued new number. By
this process the exact car is easily
identified in case of trouble. Coconino
county reserves 100 numbers for deal
ers and for county cars.
The assessed valuation of old cars
is based upon an average taken from
lists furnished the state tax commits
( sion by the used car dealers of the
entire southwest. Then, too, the as
SCISSOR takes into consideration the
condition of the car. Last years cars
purchased after May / are appraised
at the regular list price. Taxation
varies bit in the different districts,
and there is variation between the
taxes of the city and county dwellers
owing to a difference in tax rates.
Higher priced cars depreciate in value
far more rapidly than moderate pric-
ed cars according to the used car deal
er. In such cars as the Pierce-Arrow
the drop is nearly one hundred per
cent greater. Closed cars and road
sters depreciate more than touring
cars, the used car dealers say.

granted for them to come up onto the

One Of the most interesting stories
in connection with the sale of the
buffalo was brought to Flagstaff a
few days ago by Joe Lee, of Tuba
City, who was on his way to Los
Angeles to complete arrangements
with one Of the moving picture con-
Germs who want him to furnish them
with a lot of reservation Indians for
a Forthcoming production. Joe says
one moving picture company has Off
cred a certain cattle outfit $4,000
advance damages to permit the entire
herd of buffalo, as soon as they are
located and arrangements can be
made, to be stampeded through the
company's cattle while the latter are
rounded up. Joe said there is no
doubt that the deal will go through
all right.

LOS ANGELES MEN BOUGHT
Is BUFFALO FROM OWENS
Continued from Page one.)

Some local excitement was caused
| by the news of the sale and the pro-
posal to drive the buffalo out Of this
state. But there seems to be no legal
obstruction. The herd is commercially
owned and buffalo are not mentioned
in our game laws. 1t is said, how
ever, that no taxes have been paid on
the herd. Whether that will hinder
the removal of the buffalo-that is
whether either the state or the county
will step in, or whether either has
right to--is not known.
It has been reported that the state
is embarrassed by the presence of
buffalo in the northern strip of this
county. just why is not clear. If it
is because they interfere with the
grazing of cattle there, it might be
argued in rebuttal that the cattle them
selves are grazing, for the most part,
unsurveyed government land on which
their owners pay no grazing fees.
1t has been popularity supposed that
these buffalo belonged to the late
hunter and guide whom Zane Grey,
the author, helped immortalize. It.
seems however that Jones really had
very little or no interest in their own
erslip. Therefore the story that jim
Owens inherited them from Jones
seems to be pretty much myth.
Owens was one of the original
owners. The buffalo were driven in
to the northern part Of this county
from Texas by way of Utah about
1906. They we're bought from Charles
Goodnight, who owned big buffalo
ranch in Texas. The members of this
company buying them are Frank
Onstatt, E. d. Wooley and Owens.
They called it the Cattelo company,
because after they were located on
their new range it was proposed to
breed them with Polled Angus cattle
and produce a new species.
This plan didn't succeed very well.
The calves were all steers. Besides,
the Polled Angus mother always died
in giving berth to her offspring. It
was found impossible to successfully
breed buffalo cows to Polled Angus
bulls.
So the experiment was finally given
up, though the natural increase since
has been partly of quarter and eighth
