SKY HIGH

The scream of the outlaw split the
air,
AS we tied him hard and fast
To the snubbing-post in the horse
corral,
For his turn had come at last
To learn the feel of spurs of steel
AS they Craze along each side,
En- Bigger pulled up his chaps a
hole,
We knew he'd strike, we knew he'd
bite,
We knew he'd kick and rear,
So We grabbed his ears en- held his
head,
Till Bigger got up near.
He stepped into the saddle
En- hollered, Let i'm got"
We jerked the binder from his eyes,
Then stopped to watch the show.
You've all heard of pitchin' horses
From Steamboat down the line,
Old Barometer, en- Step Fast,
En- mare they called Divine
Old Prickly Pear, en- Pizen,
LOp Gu 0tluSdTG6,-
They all wuz Shetland ponies
Side this horse from Santa Fe.
We asked Red in tones solicitous
If he had made his will,
Had he any girl in Texas
Who really loved him still?
Was there any parting message
That he would like to send,
To some one in his old, old home
Who still might be his friend?
Who was his pet undertaken?
What parsOn should we get?
Would he have flowers on his coffin ?
| can hear old Bigger yet;
"Mosey, you four-flush punchers.
Don't weep no tears for me,
I'm ridin' kid from Texas,
From the old 8 Bar C.!
GO up, you old Cloud-Getter,
| can see the Pearly Gate,
We're a-dOin' the Grand Ascension.
Loopin' the loops, as sure as fate;
IF I'm Judge of horses,
You're not one, two, three,
With the gentle stock we used to
ride
AT the old Bar c."
He whipped old Sky High till he quit,
He roweled him up and down;
Old Sky High had a plenty,
He could hardly turn around.
En- we heard old Bigger hummin'
Els he turned the outlaw free.
I'm ridin' kid from Texas,
From the old 8 Bar C!'

TRUTHS ABOUT
ABORTVE PACT
Colorado Compact Problems
Camouhaged by the
Republican Press

1t would be a great thing if every
worker and every employer of labor
in Arizona could realize the acute
dangers of the Colorado Compact. and
thoroughly understood the spirit Of
Governor Hunt when he Indignantly
says Dang the pact!"
Birthright of Arizona Mothers
We must turn to the women of Ari-
zona for protection to the heritage
that is ours in the resources of the
Colorado River. The ingenious Col
orado compact is dangerous politi-
cal instrument that was designed to
enslave and control--for perpetual
profit-rights that belong to our chill
dren's children, consecrated to them
when Arizona was admitted into state
hood.
In this Colorado compact problem,
the people of Arizona are turning to
Governor Hunt for advice and pro-
lection. He is the champion of the
common people-and in all things is
close to them in sympathy and feel
ing that his leadership is natural
AriZona's prospects and prosperity
will be frightened by time when she
is exalted beyond the pale of the Col
orado Compact. Managers of indus
try in Arizona would be in sympathy
with Gov. Hunts views on this great
problem could they forsee the i'm
mense tribute that will be exacted by
the huge power combines of the min
erS, manufacturers, and industrial en-
terprises-a handicap to their splen-
did achievements
In his position against the Colorado
pact Gov. Hunt is unquestionably
right. 1t is an acknowledged fact
that efficiency of State governments
is impaired as they relinquish and
turn over to the federal government
responsibilities which rightfully be-
long to the State.
Just now would be an opportune
time for Governor Hunt to train his
guns on Campbell, Hoover, Hayden,
and Winsor as to why they are so
deeply interested in advocating the
Kolorado Kompact, which is develop
ing a collar and elbow tussel between
the people of Arizona and the copper
collared press.

enough to keep up the reputation for
fair dealing and liberality that has
been gained in the past by the Wick
enburg Wild West The cowboys
who come here to make this show
are at big expense and unless the
purses are attractive they cannot af-
ford to come again. Handbills and
large posters advertising the show
are already out, and if every one will
mention the show in letters to per-
sons who might be interested in COM
ing and boost for the affair in every
way they can, it will help the manage
ment in their efforts to bring a good
crowd to town and relieve them of
a great deal of worry incidental to
putting over the financial end of it.

SUGGESTIONS ANENT CoMMUN
lTY GROWTH

One of the great secrets of COM
munity building is the disposition to
go ahead" and not lag behind in
efforts to furnish service, necessities
and comforts for others, especially
the newcomers. There is always a
way for progress and growth if the
ones in authority will grasp the op-
portunity Whining about a lack of
finances always follows political ex-
tension and control of municipalities
where individual growth and business
activity are pushed ahead of public
matters. If our local light and wa
ter plant is inadequate, why not in
V1te some responsible syndicate (lo-
cal preferred) to lease it with an op-
tion to buy? But let's achieve the
reputation of serving the homes and
business houses dependent upon that
service. Any private corporation will
always build up on it's public service
IN order to increase it, so instead of
depreciating the local plants effici-
ency it really increases it's value as
an asset to the city, because it serves
and by its service encourages a
greater population to settle and live
among us.

CHAMBER URGING
BIG INAUGURATION
Joins Bodies Appealing for
Return to 0Id-Fashioned
Ceremony.

Another civic organizatio took its
stand today for an "old-fashioned"
inauguration, when the Washington
Chamber of Commerce, through a
special committee appointed for the
purpose, unanimously adopted reso-
luton suggesting the celebration of
Inauguration day with a great pa
rade and receptions by the civic and
trade organiza tions of the city.
The resolution marks March as
q national occasion not only in Wash
ington, but throughout the country
Election day is a day of strife be-
tween men and parties, but March 4
partisan and political controversies
are forgotten, and all America seeks
TO honor the man chosen by the peo-
pie as their President" states the
resolution.
Expressing its thorough belief that
an opportunity should be given to
arrange a great parade on Pennsyl-
vania avenue between the. Capitol
and White House, which should be
participated in by military, naval
and civic forces from all communities,
the members of the committee point
out that arrangements such as these
must be conducted by the people of
Washington through regularly con-
stituted committees and that ample
time for arrangements be given.
Want Great Social Reception.
The Chamber of Commerce is de-
cidedly of the opinion that the Inau-
guration day parade itself is not suf-
hcfent for the entertainment Of and
participation in by the thousands of
people who viii be attracted to
Washington on March L." declared
the members of the committee In sug-
gesting that the days ceremonies be
closed by great social reception to
be given by the civic and trade or
ganizations of Washington. The com
pletlon of the new Washington Audi
torium is held forth as one of the
attractions for such reception.
The chamber in the resolution
pledges the efforts of all it's members
to prevent any exorbitant charges or
gain during the celebration and that
the whole affair will be conducted in
@ dignified manner.
The resolution concludes with the
statement that: The Washington
Chamber of Commerce unitedly re-
quests, therefore, that plans be set in
motion for the appointment of an
inaugural committee and such other
committees as may be necessary. and
that proper invitations be extended
TO such individuals and organizations
as may desire to participate in the
inaugural ceremonies and the DAYS

with the belief that it expresses the
sincere wish of the people of the Dis

meet general approval throughout
