This Little World
By GEORGE BRITT.


Chicago The fellow who circu-
lated among the congregation and a
woke the sleepers was called beadle
in Puritan days. He rates only the
title of usher in the all-night movie
houses here, but no blue stockinged
beadle put more spirit into his work
than he.
ave can't have this made into a
1O-cent flop house," says the alert
usher.
There's real field for the little
all-night movie, however, if you will
take the word of the manager of the
Lyric. 1t is in cheering and shelter
ing the all-night workers. Numerous
printing plants keep night shifts busy
until past midnight. The maintenance
force in Office buildings works until
late. These and other stray providers
like to see picture while waiting for
the infrequent home-bound car. The
program changes nightly.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
President Coolidge Commended
For Signing Tax Bill.
OAKLAND, MARYLAND

Washington, June 10-The Presi-
dents mail is being fairly swamped
with letters commencing him for sign
ing the tax bill. Most writer's express
the utmost regret that partisanship
and demagogy in Congress prevented
the passage of a really good bill, in
cooperating the Mellon plan; but all
declare their gratitude over the 25
per cent reduction in their income tax
and evidently feel that Mr.. Coolidge
would have been unwise to veto this
bill even though it was far from true
tax reform The greatest dissatisfac-
ton comes from the failure of Con-
gross to redue the surtaxes below 40
per cent. Why they should have been
reduced at all, unless they were going
to be so far reduced as to bring capt.
tai, now tied up in tax-exmpt bonds,
into the industries, none can explain.
New light has just been thrown on
the extent to which the very rich are
now escaping these taxes by the re-
port of Federal Trade Commission,
made pursuant to a resolution of Sen
ator Norris. The Commission finds
that $100,000,000 was lost in taxes
last year because the high surtaxes
had resulted in $32,0OOO0O,00O being
invested in tax exemption securities;
that of this amount four and one-half
billions was owned by the very rich
who, under the Mellon plan, would
have paid % per cent surtaX, and that
twelve billions was owned by corpo-
rations.
Senator Walsh has made the ma
jority report of the oil investigation.
The report is far less sensational than
the reports fed out to the daily press
indicated. No one is charged by the
report with actual crime and Mr..
Walsh makes evident his realization
that the very leases he has been de-
nOuncing are legal by asking Con-
gress to amend the existing law to
provide % that hereafter leases of
naval oil lands may be made only on a
competitive basis (2) that the au-
thority to exchange oil be limited to
an exchange for some other type Of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-06-12

oil-not for tanks-(3) that all leases
be approved by the Comptroller Gen
eral, and (4) that leases shall be made
only where there is danger of drain
age into private wells. Demonstrate
ing the danger of such drainage, Mr..
Walsh says Secretary Daniels refused
almost ''to the point of obduracy" to
lease navy lands to prevent such
drainage and that it is estimated by
the Bureau of Mines that before Dan
iels did consent to lease navy oil
lands there was loss by drainage to
private parties of 6,800,OO0O barrels
of oil. In a word, the leases made by
the Harding administration, like those
made by the Wilson administration,
were perfectly legal, although Sena-
tor Walsh questions the advisability
of the latter.
The decision of a United States
District Court that the Wheeler inves-
tigation of former Attorney General
Daugherty was illegal, while no sur
prise to those who have studied the
Constitution, seemed greatly to sur
prise Mr. Wheeler and his colleagues.
Following that decision, Mr.. Daugh-
erty advised the Wheeler committee
that he would not appear before it as
he could see no occasion of coming be-
fore manifestly unjust committee
whose operations had been declared
illegal by the Court. The Court
pointed out that inasmuch as, under
the Constitution, the Senate must act
as Judge if a cabinet officer is tried for
impeachment, neither the Senate nor
any of its committees can disqualify
itself for acting as judge by first act
ing as investigator and prosecutor.
The Senate has voted to appeal Court
and the case doubtless will be carried
to the Supreme Court.
The most careful estimates of the
politicians disclose that, running in
dependent as he is determined to do,
Senator La Toilette cannot hope to
carry over six states, viz. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Montana
and Nebraska. These States have AZ
electoral votes, but Montana, with 4,
is normally Democratic, so that the
net result of La Follette's candidacy
would be to take 43 votes away from
Coolidge. In very close contest this
might throw the election to the Dem
ocrats, or into the House. In the
House the vote is so close that it
probably would be deadlocked, with
the result that the Senate would be
compelled to elect one of the vice
presidential candidates. Mr.. Coolidge's
supporters are convinced, however,
that even the most progressive Re-
publicans will refuse to throw their
votes away by voting for La Toilette,

DRY LEADERS SUED IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Dec. 15-Hitting back at Federal Prohibition Director Roy C.. Lyle and his aide, William Whitney, Roy Olmstead yesterday started action against the federal officers in a su- perior court.
 He asks damages of $5,O00 from Lyle and Whitney for alleged injury to his reputation and his radio broad casting ventures, and obtained an or der from Superior Judge Mitchell Gillam which temporarily restraints them from interfering in any way with Olmstead's radio business.
 The two dry agents were ordered to appear before Judge Gillian this month to show cause why the tempor- ary order should not be made a per- manent injunction, pending the out come of the trial of the damage suit on it's merits.

eral importance would be acted upon finally at the coming session.
 '"The indications are," he said, "that among the subjects which will receive attention are farm relief legislation, including cooperative marketing, the transportation act as it relates to the adjustment of labor disputes, rate making and freight schedules. It is doubtful whether any of these bills will be brought to a conclusion.
 "It is anticipated that an effort will be made to dispose of the Muscle Shoals project, and the policy of com pleting this project by the government seems to be gaining support.
 Further tax reductions can hardly be accomplished in the immediate fu- ture, owing to the conditions of the revenues, but this subject, undoubtedly will be revived in the early future.
 Tt is not practical to anticipate the emergencis which may change the out look for legislation in the short ses- sion, but the foregoing seems to be a fair outline at present"

CHAIRMANSHIP OF HOUSE
 INDIAN COMMITTEE WILL
 GO TO WESTERN SOLON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The chairmanship of the house Indian committee in the next congress, now held by an eastern man, will go to the west, it was learned today. Chairman Snyder, of New York, was not can lidate for reelection. Representa- tivet Cole, of Ohio and Roach, of Mis- souri, republicans, were beaten in the recent election. Representative Dal- finger, republican, of Massachusetts, was not candidate for reelection.
 Representative Johnson, republican of South Dakota, now chairman of the world war veterans committee, was rankiYg member of the Indian Com mittee! Whether he will resign the charmanship of the veterans commit tee and head the Indian committee IS uncertain. Should he retain the vet erans' committee post, Representative Leavitt, republican, Montana, will be ranking member of the Indian com mittee and would likely be offered the chairmanship.

 He added that the democratic organ ization would co-oprate in the passage of the( appropriation bills.
 Senator Robinson said it was incum- bent on the republican majority to for mulate the legislative program and that the democrats would not assume the initiative unless public necessity required it. The minority leader ad- ded, however, that it was not to be expected that many measures of gen.

MEN AND MILLIONS MADE BY ADV.

Strange, but true that legitimate newspaper
advertising pays better than any other method
vet devised in selling honest goods along with
honest service 1t is just as much part OF the
legitimate expense of a legitimate business as
clerk hire and rent Advertising will not put
brains into poor business management, nor Will IL
bring continual increased business to a concern
that continually uses methods calculated to lose
the confidence of the buying public. Advertising
will bring the opportunity to the door, but the
man within must do his honest part in the trans
action and deliver the goods as advertised. AS
evidence of the fact take two business men In the
same locality, In the same business with equal Op-
portunities. One is gradually going down hill.
The other is on his way to success. The fellow on
the down grade always has a hard-luck story. He
never charges it up to the lack of ability or brains,
or possibly laziness-it is always something else,
usually the disposition of the people he tries
to deal with. The successful man is the one who,
when he finds business not as it should be, turns
his fIaShlight onto himself, his methods and his
goods to find where the fault lies. He knows that
it is his fault. The public is pretty much the same
the world over. They are average human beings.
TIE general public in the general average of cities
and towns, run about the same. All cities and all
towns have the same average as to business sue
cesses and business failures.
The biggest business men, those who have made
the biggest successes, are the men whose great
aim was to hire men with brains and pay them
brainy prices. Their greatest satisfaction was IN
having picked that kind and they were not jealous
of the brains they had picked-only, sometimes,
little jealous of the other fellow who claimed he
picked brains better and could pay them more be-
cause they were worth it. Salaries don't count in
the long run-t's the loyalty and brains of the
man. And, they are the hardest thing to get in
this old world, at any price.
No one wants to advertise that he is worth
less bum, and will cheat you if he can. Some do
not have to. Their customers do it for them.
Both men and millions have been made by hon
est advertising.

A HOPEFUL, HAPPY NEW YEAR

In wishing you Happy, Prosperous, fopeful,
Heathful New Year, we can not refrain from say
ing The Sun hopes to improve its service to you,
be more valuable and more helpful to Our Folks.
It is not our idea to make The Coconino Sun the
largest paper in this section of the country, from
point of size and bulk of print paper used 1t is
not so very difficult to build up paper as to size
and fill it with junk that is of no interest to any
one, but it is to boil down paper that is of gen
era interest to its readers We fully realize that
the newspaper game is being flooded with sheets
filled with smears called pictures; with so-caled
news dispatches from all points of the compass
in the whole world-the most of all the junk sub
mitted is absolutely uninteresting and worthless
except as more paper helps to build a better fire
in the kitchen stove. Every editor wants a good,
big paper; he wants it good first and hopes that 1T
will be big because of it's worth. Too many later
day editors want big paper and do not seem to
care whoop whether it is good or not. During
the past few cratic years in the newspaper world,
there seemed to be great race on to see which
outfit could spoil the most good white paper by
snlearing it with printers ink.
tits very easy for newspaper to stir up fac
tional hatreds and prejudices. Such opportunl-
ties are offered every day, but tearing things
down. except to rebuild, has never been in our line
of endeavor. We all want to be broad-minded and
do the things that broad-minded men and women
know to be the right things to do; we, The Sun
folks, want to be more broad-minded than all the
rest, but by thunder, we find when the long days
work is done, and we have done our best, we're
not in the lead but just following lot of big fel
lows who went over the top long time before.
In any event, reader, our efforts during the next
year will be to give you the best Coconino Sun
that has ever been produced The Sun belongs to
Flagstaff, Coconino County, Northern Arizona

GARY O. KS 1924

According to Judge Gary, chairman of the U. S.
Steel company, the industrial outlook for 1924 is
good. This is largely because the country has
been proceeding with caution in 1929. We have
had an administration at Washington that is not
subject to fits of mysteries and the people general
ly are spending less than they are earning De
posits in savings banks nave increased enormous
ly in the past year. Everybody who wants job
has it-perhaps not always at the work he pre-
fers, but at job that pays good wage. There
is an immense amount of construction work nee
essary to make up for the postponement during
the war. There is every reason why should
have good times next year, and the year after.

ARIZONA REPUBLICAN BREAKS ALL
RECORDS

The Arizona Republican broke all previous
newspaper records of Arizona with the big Mid
Winter Resource edition for December 30th.
There were eighteen sections running from six
to ten pages, the exact number of pages does not
necessarily count, but combining the real inter-
est value of each page with the number printed,
is one reason for saying The Republicans Mid
Winter Resource edition is the biggest thing that
has ever been pulled off by newspaper in Ari-
zona. 1t included every industry worthy of men
ton. Not blatant boost for each, but with facts,
figures and photos of the real, living Arizona. We
are always sorry when we see our Arizona papers
with excessive patent padded CUTS. That's why
we are rather proud of the Republican achieve.
ment, for it convinced one that the space given
was purposeful, of interest to Arizona and not
padded to make a great number of pages.
It is the real heart interest that makes news

DOGS IN THE MANGER

The radicals of Congress apparently are govern
ed more by desire to prevent the republican ma
jority from exercising its will than by their own
so-called principles" When they find them
selves unable to accomplish their own private OBJ
jects they appear satisfied if they throw their
voting strength to the democrats and thus defeat
the aims of the republicans, on whose platform
most of them obtained their election to the senate
or house. Such tactics may be justified in their
own eyes, but the public at large is governed by
different ideas of fair play
The Coconino sun., 1924-01-04

The tax reduction plan handed congress by Sec
retary Mellon and approved by President Coolidge,
IS making many a congressman sit up and take
notice. If congressman and senators don't take
notice of the general approval of the plan to get
back to the old sensible-sized pocketbook therelI
be lot of new faces in congress at the very next
opportunity But, we advise that congress should
get every disabled veteran on his list-they are
the boys America can never help out too much.
