ALL OUT OF STEP BUT US?

The Tucson Star evidently does not get our
slant the Colorado river problem The gist of it
was that Arizona is in a most unenviable position
The good of all should be considered. Volumes of
reports on Investigations of the Colorado river
have been printed.
We do not need more investigations we need
more brains to handle the proposition
We did not intend to suggest more investiga-
tons, but intended to suggest sufficient fund to
pay for legal and engineering brains of quality
that would save the day for Arizona.
We have never agreed with Governor Hunt or
the Hi Liners All they have been able to build
along this line has been trouble and expense. They
are probably honest about it but results are re-
suits. Arizonas situation has gone from bad to
worse. All the political influence of the other six
states has been turned against Arizona. The
people of Arizona do not believe it should be that
way.
We had an idea that there were enough big
broadmnded men in Arizona, who would stack
their hammers, grab up shovel and help dig
our way out In manner conducive to the pros
perity of Arizona
Mayhap we are wrong and it is only backing up
to suggest that we have any element in Arizona
capable of picking the necessary honest brain
talent to show US the way out.
The progress of the country has shown con-
clusively that there is way to go ahead doing
things
So far Arizona has only shown how to prevent
progress. "Everybody's out of step but my son
Johnny" and Arizona is Johnny"

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

One cannot help bat wonder why there is such
an argument over the deer in Kaibab forest. So
many stories have been told about the super
fluffy of deer in that section and SO many con-
Trajectory reports have been circulated that no
one who has not been on the ground knows which
story to believe. Less than week ago q Globe
nimrod, known throughout the state as a deer
hunter extraordinary, reported on his return that
the deer are actually scarce IN kalbab forest.
Other hunters of equal reputation have declared
they are so numerous there is insufficient feed
for them. Sheepmen and cattlemen near the for
est assert that the deer are spreading off the
reservation and destroying the much-needed
grass on private ranges. Others accuse the stock
men Of wanting the Kaibab range for their own
use Governor Hunt claims the state has right
to rule the destinies of its wild animals; the gov
ernment takes an opposite view IN regard to ami
mails on government reservations. 1t appears to
be tangled state of affairs that never will be
settled to the satisfaction of every One but since
it is such a great distance from Bsbee, local
hunters and lovers of wild life cannot enter into
the argument unless they have made a personal
investigation and it is more sensible to keep en-
tirely out of the controversy-Bisbee Review
Thus Editor Folsom Moore spoke mouthful
for even at this close range, which is some few
hundred miles, it is impossible to form an opinion
So far as the charges that stockmen on the strip
advocating the killing of deer to help their
range interests are concerned, we are certain
is not true.
Ordinarily the forest service has been against
the indiscriminate slaughter of deer or game and
their forces are deputiZed to enforce game laws.
The general attitude of the forest service for
years has been to protect game in all national
forests. To our mind it is rather odd that the
forest service would make this quick switch as to
the killing of game, unless there was a good rea-
son for it.
We doubt very much that the stand taken by
the forest service is because of range or trees as
against wild game The three ideas have always
been interviewer in all publicity articles from the
forest service

ADVERTISE OUR OWN STATE

Arizona at large is losing a vast amount Of adj
vertising every year because map makers insist
the Grand Canyon Of the Colorado
Hundreds of tourists hunt all over Colorado for
the Grand Canyon and go the northern route in
hopes of finding it. The Grand Canyon should
not be on the map anywhere except as the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, and we hope our representa-
tives in congress will take the matter up with the
map making departments and see the change is
made. }t
In any event the newspaper gang, chambers Of
commerce and other official bodies of Arizona
should see to it that the Grand Canyon is made
an asset of Arizona rather than that of Colorado.
Our local chamber Of commerce might do well to
bring this to the notice of other civic bodies of
the state, least they forget.

AN OLD KICK

The creator of the Follies, in addi-
tion to being considered the best
Judge of pretty women on Broadway,
has quite a reputation as caustic
wit, as many of the girls in his
choruses will attest.
Not so long alo, girl who had
been engaged and who took it for
granted that she would receive a thou
sand a week, at least, burst into his
office Indignantly and registered a
kick over the size Of her pay check.
"1f this is all the salary | get" she
exclaimed, show can dress on Broad

moments hesitation. you'll have to

Ell PASO HERALD BUYS TIMES

The Ell Paso Herald, one of the most progressive
papers of the southwest, has taken over the Ell
Paso Times and will continue the publication of
the Times as a separate paper. This consolidation
under the management of H. D. Slater who has
owned the Herald for the past 27 years, will be Of
great benefit to the reading public in improved
service.
Thousands of newspapers have consolidated
during the past few years. The general public
realizes that like telephone service, one company
can serve as well, if not better, than two and at
less expense to the public.

A tall, cadaverous individual tried
to squeeze himself into seat in the
car between two burly farmers. Find

said, Excuse me, gentlemen, but you
really must sit up a bit. Don't you
know that according to act of parlia-

Two women were discussing their

the other.
Very seldom replied the first.

The latest story from Los Angeles on develop

like pipe dream. Buying water right on the

and taking their supply out of the Colorado near
Blythe, might be according to law and Hoyle,. but
it will have to be an accomplished fact before we
believe it. This story was evidently, printed for

he tries. If he does not try, how does he know
what he can do? Young Polito tried and won. He
was born in a little town in New Mexico with few
advantages. Working and trying has made the
presidents of the United States, and we are not
ashamed of our presidents even though we abuse
them terribly while they are in office. That is an
American trait, but privilege we must strenu-
ously deny a foreign born citizen

pathizers should keep in mind one
outstanding fact.
The miners insist that present

This the operators deny, and they re-
fuse to enter any conference that has
for it's object higher wages.
At Atlantic City recently the min
ers refused to continue a conference
unless the operators withdrew their
official statement that no increase
would be considered.
President Lewis said "If they
will withdraw the statement on rec
ord in the conference that they will
yield nothing, but reject everything
that tends to disturbb the factor of
mine cost, then there can be no ne
gotiations."
The operators are willing to con-
fer, with the understanding that
their profits will not be disturbed.
They are willing to talk with the
miners from now until doomsday-
providing it costs them nothing.

ELECTRIC CHIEF
Advises Uncle Sam Hold
Muscle Shoals

Seattle.-Let the government re-
tain Muscle Shoals and develop this
vast water power, said James P.
Noonan, president of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
in his report to the bi-annual conven-
tion here. Now is the time to safe
guard the interests of the power-con-
suming public, the trade unionist
said
To-day the great bulk of fuel-burn-
ing and water power used in this
country is generated by private COM
panies. Undeyeloped waterpower
sites are fast passing into the hands
of private corporations, and in a few
years it will be too late to use any
of the waterpower sites for the pro-
lection of the consuming public"
President Noonan said that the
Muscle Shoals project affords an op-
portunity to do a lasting service to
the people by placing curb on the
greed of private interests.
'The government should retain that
which belongs to the people and fur
nish to the instruments of govern
ment a gauge by which they may
measure the service rendered by pri-
vate capital in that field and deter
mine the element of justice in their
pleas for what they deem adequate
compensation for such service" he
said
''It is gratifying to report that the
Muscle Shoals commission, appointed
by President Coolidge, opposes the
leasing of Muscle Shoals to private
interests, pending further action by
congress-"

SCIENTISTS RIDICULE
FORD'S PHONEY MILK

Washington.-Ford's plan to manu-
facture artificial milk and put the
COW out of business is ridiculed by
scientists in the department of agri-
culture.
The chemists intimate that Henry
can make a good imitation of an auto
mobile, but he is outside his jurisdic-
tion when he would make substitute
for the COW. They say that a number
of patents have been taken out to
produce milk synthetically, but the
fiivver king is the first to propose to
manufacture on a commercial scale.
These scientists claim that the ele-
ments in cows milk can not be repro
duced artifcially The imitation milk
idea has been taken from Germany, it
is stated. Chemical reports show that
a certain kind of milk has been pro-
duced there from soy beans. 1t has,
according to these reports, "a yellow
ish white color and sweetish taste.'
1t is failure for infant feeding pur-
poses.

 "The dilution system of sewage disposal now employed by Chicago which was at the time of It's intro duction nearly 80 years ago, deemed both expedient and practical. must today be regarded as the most gi- gantic engineering blunder of it's time.
 Chicago now, however. presents the brasen spectacle of undertaking to induce the national congress to sanctlfy a bold theft into an honest act. To commit blunder Is no sin, but to defend a blunder and seek to compel its perpetuation at the ex- pense of others Is unpardonable sin, more particularly so when such blunder involves gross injustice as well. To defend such a blunder Is to defend injustice, And that is ex- actly what Chicago has been doing and Is now doing"

GROUNDED SUB IS
 STILL STUCK FAST
Efforts Over Night Fail to
 Move the S-t9

Chatham. Mass. Jan. 16.-The submarine s.l9 today was firmly held in the sand Of the outer bar of Orleans harbor where she ran aground early Tuesday in fog. Two powerful tugs strained at a hawser for three hours in tho flood tide of early morning but failed to move the stranded vessel. Work was discontinued until the second flood tide this afternoon.
 The efforts of the salvage fleet have been hampered by the steady northwest breeze which has had the effect of keeping the tide down, &C., cordlng to officers In charge. An easterly breeze which would pile the tide up several feet higher would make 1t possible to refoat the sub marine, these said. The S-1s left Portsmouth, N. H.. navy yard last Monday with her tanks filled with fuel oil, and this was to be pumped out today to reduce the weight of the vessel. .
 The tugs Resolute and I. J. Mer- ritt, hauling tandem on a heavy hawser, were unable to stir the s-1s from the deep bed of sand in which the action of the water has encased her since she struck three days ago. The submarine, whose crew was taken off Wednesday night. has a heavy list to port, with her stern starboard horizontal fin showing.
