JUSTICE
Is Blocked and Lawyers
Blamed in Teapot Dome
Case

Kansas City, Mo.-Recalling the
statement by Francis j. Heney, Sar
Francisco graft prosecutor, that "Yor
can't convict hundred million dol.
lars" the Kansas City Times says
there should be no surprise that the
government is making slow progress
in the Teapot Dome case.
This newspaper declares that
things have gone into such state
in the administration of justice in this
country that nothing short of very
radical changes will suffice to make
the operation of the law direct, speedy
and just"
The fault is placed on the shoul-
ders of the legal profession in tolerat-
ing, if not actually encouraging fol
its own advantage, the growth of a
system of laws and procedure that
makes it possible for the rich, OF
otherwise resourceful defendant, to
escape punishment that would be in
f1lcted on poor person for the same
offense.
"There should be no SURPRISE" the
Times continues, "that progress
against Sinclair, Fall and the Dohenys
has been slow; that the government
with all its powers, has been thwartec
again and again; that witnesses thai
should have been heard have been be-
yond the reach of compulsion; that
revelant testimony, seemingly admis
sible to the layman, has been rulec
out; that indictments against the de
PENDANTS have been quashed on {
point that involved no prejudice to the
accused Again and again law ant
practice makes possible, and some
times mandatory, the interruption O.
a legal procedure or the miscarriag,
a justice because of mere tech
nicality that has no bearing whateve-
on the merits of the case"

larger producing regions in order that
the crews of the cars might give
first aid instruction to the employees
of these great enterprises.
The American National Red Cross

Experience in the United States
during the past dozen years shows
that there are four stages of indus
try's approach to the prevention of
unemployment. First, there was in
difference. Then, realization by in
dustry of it's own responsibility for
unemployment. Third, experimental
tion by industry with plans to stabil-
ize employment-the stage we have
now reached. The fourth stage,
which is just ahead, will be marked
by the adopting of measures to make
such stabilization of unemployment
universal. In stabilizing employment,
sin preventing accidents, | predict
that new stimulus will be needed to
arouse and renew the interest of in
dustrial managers, and that within
a few years, the present reliance upon
voluntary industrial action of en-
ployers will be recognized as socially
too slow. Legislation will follow.
Society must provide the necessary
incentive, and make it universal,
through unemployment compensation
legislation.
When organized labor started it's
agitation to hold industry liable for
part of the wages lost during lay
offs, the S. c. Johnson & Son Co., of
Racine, startled the business world by
calling in engineers to give the plan
a complete trial. Collective agree
ments were signed with local en-
ployes' organization, holding the COM

son. These seasons are divided into
two periods, the busy period of II
weeks and the slack period of nine
weeks.
Each worker, unemployed for more
than nine weeks in any of the two
seasonal periods, will be entitled to
unemployment insurance. Only work
ers who belong to the union not less
than one year, and have worked in
the New York market at least one
year will be entitled to benefits.
Workers must register in their re-
spective shops. Those who are un-
attached will register at the office of
the insurance fund.

OUT-OF-WORK
Pay Plan Now in Force In
Garment Industry

New ork.-Details of the garment
workers unemployment insurance
have been agreed to, and the plan
will soon become operative. With the
summer season coming to an end
workers who are entitled to these
benefits will soon be able to draw
weekly allowances from the fund to
reimburse them for idleness in this
seasonal occupation
The plan was urged by the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union, and was recommended by a
commission appointed by Governor
Smith that forestalled a recent gen.
eral strike. The unemployment fund
is under the supervision of board
OF trustees, representing employers
and workers.
Under the rules adopted by the
trustees, each year will be divided

NEED FOR EDUCATION

New York.-The editor of the Wall
Street Journal is the best proof that
there is crying need for education
in this country.
In discussing the supreme courts
annullment Of the Kansas industrial
court law, the editor seriously de-
clares:
In the arrogance of labor union
policy, there are some points which
the unions declare they will never
arbitrate. One of these points is the
right to loaf on the lob. 1t is the
policy of the unions to oppose every
attempt to speed up work, to in
crease the individual output, under
the mistaken idea that the less each
worker does the more employment
will be created"

The solution is unemployment com
pensation legislation, originally spon
sored in Wisconsin by Lieut.. Gov
Henry A. Huber, now before the state
legislatures. With the help of the
farmers, the church and progressive
forces, labor hopes to enact into Law
this measure which will start indus.
try on the very important work Of
preventing unemployment by stabiliz-
ing its employment in business-like
way.
There is nothing new in these un.
employment measures. They merely
require industry to pay part of the
cost of unemployment in the same
manner as we now require industry
to pay part of the wage loss due to
accidents. They ask industry to be-
come contributor-to share the
wages the laborer is now forced to
lose against his will.
Thus obligatory compensation will
be the incentive that will secure the
employers and bankers perpetual at
tention and corrective action in deal
ing with this problem. Such legisla-
tion will pave the way not only to
remedying this evil, but also to elm
mating it.
1t will encourage the extension and
give permanency to such voluntary
agreements as those mentioned above
between labor and industry, at the
same time protecting the weak ano
unorganized workers by inducing in.

Railway managers will then find il
profitable to stabilize railway shoI

ton will tend to perpetuate genera
business prosperity and shorten the
periods of business stagnation. This

EIGHT PEOPLE MAY HAVE
RABIES AT CLAYPOOL

Suggestions that dog may be at
fected with rabies even though the
laboratory examination of his head
shows no presence of the rabies
germs, are contained in the handling
of a case which occurred when sew
eral persons were bitten by a dog at
Claypool about week ago. 1t is
thought that the case has provided
the first known of locally in which
the giving of the symptoms OF dog
were advised to be taken as the basis
on which to recommend the Pasteur
treatment rather than the laboratory
examination of the head.
The following statement of the case
has been made by DR.. Nelson D. Bray
ton, acting health officer of the Miami
district: "On Saturday, November Ia,
a supposedly rabid animal, a little
white dog, was brought to my office
for observation and determination as
regards rabies. The dog was placed
in the city pound and died two days
later. On Monday afternoon the dogs
head was sent to the state laboratory
for examination. On November Is the
following telegram was received: DR..
Nelson D. Brayton, Miami, Ariz.,
Miss Rider suggests that patients be
treated according to clinical symptoms
as laboratory diagnosis indefinite.

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

The position of raw wool IN domes-
tic markets has not materially chang
ed, except that domestic sorts are
slowly strengthening in value as
stocks become depleted. The Boston
market is hardly keeping pace with
what is going on in Australia, and
selling prices here are still below
parity with the antipodean auctions.
Perth, Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne
and Adelaide have all shown advances
at recent sales. American buyers are
reported to be showing more interest
and in some markets are taking con-
siderable wool. On the other hand
France is less active. Eastern buyers
are getting busy in the west, and are
competing for the pool woods and for
the scattering individual clips still
available for purchase. Depleted
stocks of domestic sorts in the Bos-
ton market and the strong attitude OF
the west are likely to force prices here
to a higher level, even exceeding the
strength in Australia as market
factor. All bids were refused by the
Central Storage company at the fall
Texas sealed bid sale on Tuesday,
though one stray clip was taken over
by a Philadelphia house.
Wooden mills are showing a little
more interest in suitable woods for the
coming overcoating season, but wor-
sted woods still attract most attention.
Large sales of staple serges and
cheviots are reported the outstanding
feature of the situation.

WONDERBUS Line TELLS
OF ITS WONDER ROUTE

The new Arizona Tour company in
it's advertising the tour through Ari-
zona says:
Starting from Phoenix, the Won
derbus first traverses the famous
Apache trail to Roosevelt dam and
Roosevelt lake. Then to Payson, high
in the mountains; next, the famous
Natural Bridge, one of natures great
est curiosities. Then, to Globe where
huge copper mines are visited. Leav-
ing civilization, the road winds
through the White mountains. In sea-
son, time is given to hunting and
trout fishing in this most beautiful
area. Next comes the world-famed
Petrified forest of Arizona. Then on
to the gorgeous Painted desert where
lie ever interesting Indian villages.
Here are the Hopis and Navaios, fa-
nous for their basket and blanket
making, their silversmiths, snake
dances and weird rites.
From here three-day trip is made
to the great Canyon de Chelly-that
formidable stronghold of the ancient
Aztecs, their cliff dwellings built in
the red cliffs towering above the
plains. Then to FlagStaft and Nor
mon Lake and Oak Creek; nearby are
the San Francisco peaks $4,000 feet
high Thence to that inspiring marvel
of nature-the Grand Canyon of Ari-
zona Here, with the motor-home
waiting under the pines of the Coco
nino national forest overlooking the
irridescent gorge, trips down and
along the Canyon are taken; night
is spent at Hotel Ell Tovar. Surely
nothing could be more complete.
Next, the trip homeward by way
of Shnebly hill and the scenic Verde
valley-and then Jerome; next, an in
teresting trip to the ancient Monte
yuma Castle and Well. To Prescott
the ride is over the wide mountain
road, steep and long, but beautiful to
the extreme. Then Castle Hot

FLAGSTAFF SOLELY
LIABLE FOR GIRLS
DEATH, SAYS COURT

The town of Flagstaff is solely re-
sponsible for the death of Victoria
Gomez, daughter of Victor Gomez.
The circuit court of the ninth cir
cult has affirmed the decision of the
federal district court in the case of
Flagstaff against Walsh, involving
some $4,000 damages because of the
death of child who fell into an ex-
cavation, it was announced here today.
The case attracted much interest
through its various stages in court be-
cause of points raised.
Some years ago the town of Flag
staff let a contract to the defendant
Walsh to construct sewer and OBJ
tanned from Walsh, the contractor, a
bond indemnifying the town of Flag
staff against any liability or damage
that it might sustain by reason of
negligence on his part in the construc-
tion of the sewer During the con-
struction child fell into an excava-
tion and was killed. An action was
brought against the town of Flagstaff
and the contractor, Walsh, to recover
damages for the child's death.
The action was tried in the state
court and a large verdict returned
against the town of Flagstaff and the
contractor, Walsh. The town and the
contractor filed separate appeals to
the supreme court of Arizona from
the verdict and judgment. The town
of Flagstaff failed to perfect its ap-
peal. The contractor effected his ap
peal and the supreme court of Ari-
zona affirmed the judgment against
the town and reversed the judgment
against Walsh, the contractor, and re-
manded the case for new trial. The
case against Walsh, the contractor,
was again tried and a verdict return
ed in favor of Walsh, finding him not
guilty of any negligence.
Thereafter, the town of Flagstaff
brought an action against Walsh, the
contractor, and his bondsmen to re-
cover sum of money sufficient to in
demnify the town against the judg-
ment against it by the representatives
II the deceased girl The case WEI
moved into the federal court and the
federal district court at Phoenix dis
missed the action, on the ground that
under the pleadings no cause of ac-
tion was stated in favor of the town
of Flagstaff against Walsh. The
town of Flagstaff thereupon perfected
a writ of error to the circuit court of
the ninth circuit and argument on the
writ of error was heard in the circuit
court about the 10Th of October and
yesterday word was received by the
firm of Kibbey, Bennett, Gust, Smith
and Lyman, representing the town of
Flagstaff, that the circuit court had
affirmed the judgment of the federal
district court.
This leaves the town of Flagstaff
solely responsible to the party in the
original action.
