A WELCOME TO FLAGsTAFF

In welcoming the State Federation of Women's
clubs to Flagstaff for its convention next week,
The Sun is merely expressing the cordial feeling
of the entire community.
The women's clubs of the state are doing fine
and noble work, the good and helpful influence of
which has many tangible results in civic, social
and home life.
The ladies should have good time here. Much
of their stay will be devoted to work Of the con-
vention. and their leisure moments are provided
for by the various committees from the local hos
tess club. But all of u.s. non-members as we'll as
members, will come in contact with some of them,
and showing our friendly interest and being as
courteous and helpful possible whenever the
opportunity offers will be appreciated by them
and add to the good opinion they will carry away
of Flagstaff and its people.
Not very often does Flagstaff have state con-
ventiOn. That is entirely because Of lack OF hotel
facilities. At any rate, as far as conventions OF
women are concerned. Of course, sometimes an
executive committee, or committee on time and
place of next meeting, in choosing convention
city leans toward some of the border towns, said
leaning invariably leading to falling clear across
for various recreational features mostly liquid,
during the convention receSSes. But most OF the
mems conventions, even, would undoubtedly come
to Flagstaff if we had adequate hotel accommoda
tions. AS soon as we get accommodations suffi-
cient to care for hundred or two two or three
day guests we'll get the conventions.
For no where else in the state is the climate
so ideal From no other city can SO many Won
aerfully interesting sightseeing trips be taken.
In no other city is there finer hospitality.
Just now Flagstaff cannot pull for conventions
that come in the summer season, when most con-
ventions are held and when the weather here is
most delightful, because then we are always full
up" But some day we shall be able to take care
of conventions, and then we'll get most of them.
For we can repair lack of hotel facilities,
while our sister cities in the state can't overcome
their scenic and climatic inferority to Flagstaff.

THOSE BARGAINS IN INVESTMENTS

There are no bargains in investment securities,
as the public understands bargains through its
experience with merchandise The fair and hon
est price for any security is not made by any
man, company or group of men. 1t is made, first,
by the safety of the security; second, by the
amount Of interest or dividends it will pay; Third,
by its marketability; fourth by the interest
rates banks are charging for loans.
At hand is circular advertising bargains in
oil stocks If some one is spending money for
postage and printing bills to sell those stocks
cheap it is absolutely certain that they are
worth less than the sbargain" prices named in the
circular. If his stocks were safe, if they paid
dividends in money and not in glittering promises,
If they were desired by experienced investors and
if they paid higher returns than the present bank
rates. those factors would make a fair and honest
price for his stocks and he wouldn't have to sell
them at bargain. All this get-rich-quick talk
about bargains simply indicates that some one
is trying to pedde something for more than it is
worth.
Occasionally good stock or bond may be bought
for slightly less than it is worth. This is because
shrewd Judges of securities, who are constantly
seeking sound securities for to 3 per cent or
even fraction of per cent less than they are
worth, have temporarily overlooked these particu
lar securities. When that happens some exper
fenced investor soon discovers it and the securities
are quickly bought up. Cheap securities are rare
ly bargains" They are the most unsafe and the
most expensive to buy.

THE HISTORY OF WHEAT IN PROSPERITY

Every major business depression in the United
States since the Civil war has been ended only
when the buying power of the farmer had recoy-
ered This buying power has usually been exem-
plified by wheat. Although in 1928 there was
partial recovery largely because of building &C
tivity tiny depression developed in the middle
Of 1924. The country did not show an apparent
permanent recovery from the severe slump OF
1920 until the price of wheat began to go up
in 1924.
During the Civil war wheat sold as high as So
bushel 1t slumped in the depression of 1873 to
1879. In 1879 bad weather ruined Englands crop
American farmers exported huge quantity OF
wheat at good prices and the hard times of 1873
to 1879 were ended. A good American crop In
1880 sold profitably. Five years of prosperity
followed.
In the depression of 1893 to 1896 wheat sold al
So cents bushe in 1896. That year the East
Indian crop failed. Wheat went to "a cents by
November. In 1897 the United States had an
other good crop and good prices because Of the
shortages in France and the Danube valley.
Wheat and the buying power of the farmer end
ed the depression of 1893-1896 This time pros
perity lasted ten years.
The 1924 rise in wheat came at the psychologl-
cal moment to settle prosperity in the saddle

THE DEADLY .sTAx-ExEMPTs'

Recent estimates give the United States
wealth as $4,000, 100000, or about $4,000 per
capita The greatest single item is real estate
second is personal property clothing, furniture,
automobiles, etc.; manufactured goods ready for
use rank third real estate that is not taxable
comes fourth; railroads, fifth; manufacturing
plants sixth and public utilities including irri-
cation works-seventh.
The surprising thing is the amount of untax-
able public or serni-public property-more than
twenty billion dollars worth, besides the estimated
thirty billion dollars worth Of untaxed securities.
The tax-exemption theory as it becomes bet
ter understood is having more difficult shedding.
Some day congress will be forced to act on the re-
peal Of such special privilege laws in order to
equaIze the nations tax burden

SOME DAY ARIZONA WILL LEARN

Arizona produces more copper than any other
state in the union-and yet when the Jordan
plumbing shop wanted few square feet of 16-
gauge sheets, the order couldn't be filled any
where in the state and it was necessary to send
to FL Paso to get it. This sounds like the old joke
about the cobber always wearing poor shoes
Jerome Verde Copper News.
Some day the people of Arizona will learn the
economic folly and waste of this sort of thing.
The answer lies in copper fabrication The idea
of any concern in this state being obliged to send
all the way to Ell Paso in order to get few square
feet of copper sheets will sound laughable to peo~
pie here in years to come-Miami Silver Belt

NO BOY SCOUTS ARRESTED

Chief of Police O'BrienN Of San Francisco says
"We of the police department have always cooper
ated with the boy scouts, and am proud to say
that since the movement was first started, over
eight years ago, not single scout has ever pro
voked arrest.
"The boy scout creed of "a good deed every
day, tends to do everywhere precisely what it has
done i'm this city It is creed broad enough for
any man: it is better than most men follow There
is no better business than to encourage such
helpful agencies. Wars and police and law en-
forcenent take most of cur taxes; it is the rank
est folly to merely shout Reduce taxes, and fail
to promote the agencies that will not only re-
drce, but eliminate taxes for these quarrelsolne
causes

IF everyone in Arizona who has money to IN

some of the securities Of public service corpora
ton serving his community, it would accomplish
two great ends 1t would give the companies CAPT

home one night from dinner held in
his honor, he imagined that he heard
a sound in his bedroom.

MacMillan Prohibits Unnecessary Talking
 Among Men In Arctic

CHICAGO, July g. (P-It is not the cold, lack of food or the loss of modern conveniences which makes a trial of an Arctic expedition. It is solitude. The men get talked out. Commander Donald B. MacMillan on the expedition now en route expects radio to be great relief, but will not appreciably lesson his system of dis cipline in inter-personal communica- ton.
 On previous trips MacMillan has forbidden members of the party to talk to each other during the day or at dinner time, and to keep away from each other as much as possible.
 "The isolation of that vast region soon exhausts all timely resources" MacMillan explained. Tt is not long before the men know the life history of each other, that of their families and relatives and virtually everything else in connection with the ordinary mans life. When those subjects have ceased to be topics of converse tion and the few other sources have play ed out, the men become a bore to each other. That leads into an unfa- vorable morale So we talk as little as possible and keep our counsel by being aloof"
 Radio was taken by MacMillan into the Arctic for the first time last year after studying for a long time wheth- CT it would for better or worse Flu gene F. Mcdonald, jr., of Chicago in command of the Peary, as we'll as chief of radio on this expedition, had suggested radio as a means of com batting this isolation. But MacMillan thought that homesickness might be a different evil because of the con- tact with the world or that bad news from the family might seriously up- set the morale of the party. Space was found in the crowded Bowdoin for radio equipment and MacMillan decided to give it try. It caused none of his anticipated results but filled keen want. Dinner time in the Arctic became an occasion of en- tertainment and gossip, rather than a period of quiet and sobered eating.
 One of the radio incidents which MacMillan remembers as distinctly as some of his scientific discoveries, was an evening during the Christmas holidays when, unannounced or pre- arranged, the instrument picked up 1 the voice of his sister. He did not hear her name announced or the sta tion from which she was talking. He only recognized her voice. It was checked up later to find it was Mrs. Latitia Fogg, broadcasting a greet l ing to her brother.
