After the Prescott game our youth
were given dance at the, high school.
1t was really joyous affair with
fair women and brave men. At its
close our team left proclailning that
the Prescott gang were the best hosts
ever and also that in the next game
Flagstaff would win. The poor show
ing of our team was doubtless due in
part to the nervousness of our boys
on the first trip of the season. They
put up good fights and lost
Among the boys making the trip
were Bob McWilliams, Bert Cameron,

been eliminated in those towns. 1t is
believed unlikely that the Santa Fe
railroad company will require Flag

other concessions in exchange for a
new depot. The railroad company
owes Flagstaff new depot, and with
no strings attached. f, beyond that,
any reasonable arrangement can be
made to safeguard life by elimination
of grade crossings, and, perhaps, by
the elimination Of one crossing alto

The prospective sites for a new de-
Pc. already suggested by Flagstaff
ians are at Agassiz, in front of the
Commercial and just west of Beaver.
Probably no unanimous agreement
wiz be reached; some mutual conces-
sions will undoubtedly have to be
made by members of the committee
in order that an agreement may be
reached.
We need the new depot. The rail-
road company needs it. 1t has been
an eye-sore to Flagstaff and a re-
proach to the railroad company long

For the deer is browsing animal.
1t feeds on shrubs, while cattle feed
on grass.
There is plenty of feed for the deer
in winter. But there is not in sum-
mer. They browse on aspens, oak
and such growths. In the Kaibab
forest it is mostly aspen. There are
too many deer for the amount of
browse. Major Goldman said last
fall that he counted more than 200
deer in single herds. They had fed
as high as they could on the aspens,
getting every leaf in reach. They had
entirely destroyed reproduction.
Thus, with their number increas-
ing and the food decreasing--for they
not only are preventing reproduction
of browse, but the parent aspens are
short-lived - in a short time, un-
less something radical is done nature
will restore a balance by starving off
a. lot of the deer, or, weakened by
hunger, some disease will wipe them
out.

DECLARES FOR BONUS


In 1917 we were the flower of
American youth In 1913 we were
brave soldiers. In 1919 we were VIC
torious heroes. In 1920 we were re-
turned soldiers. In 1921 we were ex-
service men. In 1922 we became
commercial patriots. In 1923 we were
treasury raiders. In 1924, we don't
know what we will be--but, we know
we will be victorious fighters.
We fought in the World war be-
cause. we knew we were fighting for
the right, and we are fighting now,
because we know we are once more
fighting for the right-and adjusted
compensation is right-a debt the
government can no more repudiate
than it can the payment OF interest
on Liberty bonds.
You have heard why adjusted com
pensation should not be- paid. The
news columns of the nation are open
wide to the secretary of the treasury,
Andrew W. Mellon, and to any indiv-
idual of high or low station, who can
advance a reason, honest or inspired,
why the so-called bonus should not or
cannot be paid, and the press of the
United States sitting in solemn and
secret Judgment, has declared the case
closed with the presentation of un-
limited evidence against adjusted, COM
pensation. We are denied a voice IN
the matter. The case for the plaintiff
cannot find space in the press. So we
come to you in person as representa-
tives of more than four million men
who wore the uniform in the dark
days of 1917 and 1918, and we ask
that you hear some. facts; that you
free your mind from the pardonabie
prejudice created by biased, distort-
ed, one-sided presentation of the case
of adjusted compensation.
Because we approve of the adjusted
compensation plan we are called treas
ury raiders and commerialized patri-

phrases of contempt, are the men who
eulogize the heroes of other wars.

application of those men are on file
in the building presided over by An
drew w. Mellon. He dares not deny
that, for he cannot.
Mr.. Mellon gained a loyal army OF
workers by his ruse of recommending
the removal of theatre admission
taxes. Are the theatre owners CRATE
full? The answer is to be found in
any motion picture theatre in the
country. He can present his one-sided
argument for tax reduction to an aud
ience of twenty million theatre goers
every week. The only champions te
present our case are a few, a pitably
few, newspapers published by men OF
inherent fairness. Most newspapers
are dominated by large interests
whom the proposed Mellon plan tax
reduction will particularly effect, OF
rather partly reduce the sur tax on
those whose income is $4,000 or over
annually, giving no appreciable relief
to those under that income. What

DISCOVER DEAD BODY OF MINER
IN CABIN SUNDAY AT WAGNER

Found in a cabin about nine miles
from Wagner Sunday, the body of a
man believed to be that of B. S. Pat
terson, was brought to Prescott Mon
day. The body appeared to be that
of man about So years of age and
was judged to have been placer
prospector.
In the clothing was found an old
pocket knife, a cheap watch and $2.75
in money. A calendar in the cabin
had the days scratched off to January
21 which is judged to approximate
about the time of the mans death.
The Coconino sun., 1924-02-15


The utter unscrupulousness of Mr..
Mellon is further demonstrated by the
santanic ingenuity with which ne has
presented the matter of adjusted com
pensation as the keystone to the
whole question. 1T is unquestlonaDly
the quest of every ex-service man to
see the cost of government reduced.
But under the Mellon plan in effect,
that if the debt of adjusted compen-
sation is paid there can be no tax re-
duction.
Mr.. Mellon has presented figures to
prove this. Now some dinner wit
once said that there are two kinds OF
liars, plain liars and statistics. Mr..
Mellon is versatile.
Before citing figures on tax reduce
tion and adjusted compensation, We
want to provide an historical back
ground for Mr.. Mellon. Now, if an
employee of the Mellon bank in
Pittsburgh made an error of ten dol
lars in this accounts, it is safe to say
he would risk discharge.
But--there is an error of record IN
the figures promulgated by Mr.. Mel
lon, as secretary of the treasury. In
December, 1922, Mr. Mellon predict
led a government deficit of $650,000,-
600. 1t was this statement that
prompted President Harding to veto
the adjusted compensation bill in
1928. At the end of the fiscal year
there was a SURPLUS of $323, ,000,-
900. The difference between the def
icit ard the surplus that could not be
concealed was approximately one bill
lion dollars. When financier as
skilled as Andrew w. Mellon fails to
compute the cost of government in a
one-year period by an error of
one billion dollars, it means one of
two things. He is either grossly in
competent or a deliberate and calcu-
lating falsifier. An incompetent fl
nancier would not ordinarily be rated
as the third richest man in the richest
nation in the world.
Now with that background in the
statistic skilIfulness of Mr.. Mellon, we
may further examine some figures.
Mr.. Mellon wants to reduce taxes
$323, 100000 a year, and the slogan
which he has adopted is mo tax re-
duction if the compensation measure
LIS D1SS6Q. our years dSO .tIlC I1Coo7
ury department estimated the cost of
compensation to be $50, 100000 year
/ for the first four years. That leaves
a possible saving of $243, 900 900 with
other economies proposed. Those fig
lures don't gibe with the Mellon slogan
however, SO the Honorable Andrew w.
Mellon again made black marks on
white paper and then announced
! through the accommodate press that
| the cost of the so-called bonus would
be $3.50, 100000 for the first four
years. That is three times the other
l estimates, but even SO, he has to ad-
nit theoretical saving of 75,0OO,-
900 a year.
There is reason to believe that Mr..
Mellon has ignored the $116,000, 10000
(which is annually paid by Great Bri-
tain on its war debt, nor has he al
lowed for the proposed cut of $780,
100000 annually in government ex-
pensc.
When Mr.. Mellon says that taxes
cannot be lowered without defeating
adjusted compensation he blackens his
soul with another grotesque false
hood.

source and methods of this manufac-

destroy the deer, but to preserve the
herd.
The national park service has rot
as yet become reconciled to having
any of the deer killed. But the bio
logical service and national forestry
service are convinced that they must
be.
1t has been settled that the deer
must be thinned. The means to be
employed is under discussion. That is
why State Game Warden Willard was
called in. The biological survey didn't
want to send men to thin out the deer
only to have them arrested when they
took the carcasses across the border
out of the national forest. They felt
the need of cooperation by the state
game department. Moreover, they be-
lieved Mr.. Willard himself might find
some means to thin the deer out.
The biological survey, if it under
takes the work, may do as recently
in other forests, where both deer and
buffalo were thinned out, that is, sell
the cascasses for food. But the dis
tance of the Kaibab forest from
railroad and the difficulty of proper
refrigeration operate against the sale
in this case.
If special licenses are sold, as now
seems to be Mr.. Wizards plan, the
biological survey will see to it that
only certain area is hunted over and
will limit the kin to bucks and the
number to somewhere between two
and three thousand a year. Hunting
indiscriminately al over the reserve
will not be tolerated, and only such
hunting will be allowed as will be
necessary to strike and maintain a
balance between the browse and the
number of deer that it viii support.

Regarded as Important.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The find ing of Federal Judge Soper in the case of Representative John Philip Hill at Baltimore today is regarded here as necessitating a revision of the policies and regulations followed by the prohibition commissioner.
 On the other hand, the ruling sustains the position taken by the Department of Justice four years ago in an opinion written by Assist and Attorney General F'rierson and since followed by the department.
 Attempts have been made by the prohibition unit on several occasions to obtain from the Department of Justice a revision of the Frierson opinion, but without avail and the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Prohibition unit have chosen the view that the one-half of one per cent clause in the Volstead act ap- piled to homemade fruit juices.
 The opinion in the case of the Maryland Representative, the first of several decisions likely to result from questions raised by him, prob ably, therefore, will force an accord in the policies of the two agencies concerned with prohibition enforce ment and prosecutions.
 Internal revenue officials declined to discuss the expression of the court without first studying the full text of the opinion.

THEODORE AGAIN
 HELD AS RUM BOAT.
This Is Fourth Time Within
 Span Of a Year

 Now bearing the name of Mary, the former Theodora was bound from rum row to Fort Pond Bay, L.. l.. last nght when she was seized a mile and a quarter southeast of Montauk Point with 500 cases of liquor aboard.
 The eight members of the crew captured gave their names as Cap- tain James J. Jarvis of Brooklyn. Fred Jackson of Sag Harbor, Wall ter Jackson of Patchogue. William Long of Brooklyn, E. P. Williams of Montauk, John Curran, Oscar Miller and P. J. Ware, the last three declining to give their respective addresses. They were held under guard pending hearing at 5 o'clock this afternoon before U. s. Com missioner Earl Mathewson.
 In spite of the name given by the master the ships papers show George P. Moore of 2564 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, to be captain and owner of the Mary. The Mary Is a sped launch, reputed to be capable of 25 knots an hour under load. Though she has been thoroughly overhauled and altered since she was last sold at auction following prev,- ous capture her identity as the for mer Theodore was not concealed from customs officers who viewed her this morning.
