Mays voice was fearful.

LAND OF OPPORTUNITY

Some peSSlrnlstlc newspapers are in the habit
of proclaiming that the door of opportunity in
this land of the free and home of the brave has
been forever closed to the poor and unfortunate.
Some of the yellow journals shout continuously
that the poor have no opportunities in America
and make appeal to class prejudice to convince the
poor that the rich have stolen their birthright
and doomed them to industrial servitude.
The best answer to this is given by Roland
Hayes, the sensational negro sooist, laundry
boy whose mother was a slave and who has
reached the heights of great art and become one
of the most popular singers in the world.
Inequalities of life are inherent in human ma
ture and will exist in spite of the most highly
paternalistic government The sociastc idea
that all that is necessary is to pass laws and
take wealth from those who have and give to those
who have not will never create the utopia of
human equality.
All over our country are men and women,s who,
like the negro laundry boy, are overcoming han
dicaps of poverty, ignorance, racial inequality,
social ostracsm by their native ability, capacity
for work, endurance and character.
Individual effort helped Roland Hayes to scale
the heights of success, and the door of oppor-
tunity still opens freely to those who knock.
Preaching discomfort tosbring about class conflict
and social revolution will probably continue to be
the favorite and profitable occupation of dema-
gogs.

GET A QUALIFIED MAN FOR INSPECTOR

There seems to be good deal of msunder-
standing regarding the newly created job of
county meat Inspector and who the Inspector
shall be-
The trainers of the new live stock code, under
which the position of county meat inspector was
created, did not purpose merely the establish
.rnent of job with which some politician without
eregard to qualification could be rewarded for
some real or fancied service to his party The
intention was to safeguard the interests of the
stockmen, but chiefly, to safeguard the health
of the people
The new law specifically states: "Such inspec-
tors shall be qualified and experienced in the
business of inspection Of animals and determine
ton and detection of disease or other conditions
rendering such animals unfit for human con-
sumption"
1t may be fortunate in the case of some colln-
ties the supervisors of which might not properly
gauge the responsibilities going with this job
and the high qualifications the appontee ought
to have that the new law further specifies: The
live stock sanitary board is authorized, empower
ed and directed to promulgate and put into force
and effect and to enforce suitable rules and regu-
lations necessary and requisite in its judgment to
insure a healthful, wholesome and safe meat sup
ply for the state of Arizona.
Boards of supervisors in employing county
engineer see to it that they get man qualified
by education and experience for the job. Ii they
hire a county mechanic, they see to it that he is
a mechanic. This new job, in its relation to the
health of the people, is vastly more important.
The very best man available should be selected.
When this county pays 5000 month and travel
ing expenses for a man for this job the taxpayers
expect and are entitled to, the worth of the
money in service to the people at large

SAVING IN FEDERAL TAXES

Every American who pays knows by this time
that his income tax due and payable this year is
considerably less than it was in 1924. In addition
to this, however, the treasury department has
just issued figures showing that the users and
manufacturers of automobiles are paying a great
deal less for this privilege than the case last
year.
The returns for February of this year and 1924
are taken as basis for comparison. The returns
on automobiles, trucks, motorcycles and parts and
accessories for February 1924 were $9,857,000
while the returns this year were $7,27S,0 900, a
saving of more than two and half millions of
dollars. Another. class of citizens who have had
a burden lifted from them are the candy users,
who paid $950,000 in taxes in February, 1924,
and paid none at all this year. The tax returns
on cameras and Photographic supplies were re-
duced nearly half
Decreased federal taxes, of course, were brought
about by national economy and decrease in gov
ernmental expenditures, coupled with the revenue
producing qualities of our protective tariff laws.

PAY OF AMERICAN WORKERS

The international labor office at Geneva,
Switzerland, shows that workers in America are
earning about twice as much in food purchasing
power as workers in London.
Taking London as 100, index numbers of some
other cities are as follows Philadelphia, 214;
Ottawa, 173; Amsterdam, 80; Berlin 55; Brus-
sels SO; Milan, 46; Lisbon, 90; Paris, 70; Rome,
46; Vienna, AT.
The British working men are much more strong
ly organized than in any other country with the
possible exception of Germany, where it will be
noted that the food purchasing power of workers
is about half of what it is in London. Phadel-
phia is not highly organized city; neither is
Ottawa, Canada-but the conditions of the work
ing people in those cities are far ahead of the
more highly organized places. Figures for Rus
sia are not given. It is pity In Russia every
body is organized. The working people are SO
highly organized there that if they strike they are
taken out and shot by order of the union Of COM
munists. Organization is pretty good thing but
sometimes there is too much of it.

BAROMETER OF WESTERN PROSPERITY

During 1924 United States ports shipped~ :
906, 6,418O00 board feet of lumber, an increase of
three per cent over 1928, according to figures
compiled by bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce.
Exports of Douglas fir lumber showed in
crease of 105,566 M. feet over 1928. Yellow pine
lumber increased 1908 NJ. feet, while yellow pine
timber showed an increase of some 1000 NJ. feet.
During 1922, the lumber industry earned net
taxable income amounting to $207 ,995,927
Freight loadings of forest products for the first
the same period of 1924, but we're considerable
larger than for 1923.
Water shipments of lumber from the Pacific
northwest in 1924 increased A per cent over
1923, and totaled 4,465, ,391 ,941 feet. Shipments
to the Atlantic coast were 367 per cent higher
than for 1929 and shipments to China increased
64 per cent
The lumber industry serves as a barometer OF
business conditions in western states and has a
direct bearing on the prosperity of millions OF
people.

MAY BE SPECIAL SESSION LEGISLATURE

Intimations daily become stronger that there
will, after all, be special session of the state
legislature Governor Hunt wants his highway
department better financed. That it wasn't taken
care of during the last session was because the
bill for that purpose was intended to take the ma
jor portion Of the money now going to the coun-
ties away from them and place it at the unre-
stricted disposal of the state engineer. This,
naturally was distasteful to most of the legisla-
tors nor were they made any more favorable to
high financing of the state highway department
when it was their conviction that that department
is esteemed more by the governor as political
machine than as a means of improving our high
way system.
Just what the governor expects to obtain from
a special session is hard to figure. 1t may be he
is prepared to back down in his demand that the
highway departments power be increased by a
million more dollars. If he does not back down,
then it is inconceivabe that he can get legislation
at special session that he couldn't at the last
regular session.

MR.. VAN WYCK's AUNT

A correspondent Of the New York
Herald, by way Of showing that peo-
pie do not resist the attacks of time
and the various forces of nature as
steadfastly as they might, tells this
incident of his aunt, Mrs. Abram Van
Wyck, who was 101 years old when
she died:
Mrs. Van Wyck was the widow Of
General Abran1 Van Wyck of the war
of 1912. When she was past 95 she
sat in the dining room of her house
during a great storm. Lightning
struck her chair and threw her nearly
Is feet across the room. When she
got up and looking around she adjust

HUNT TO ASK FOR SIXTH TERM?

From a source close to Governor Hunt comes
the ntimation that he may find it necessary to
become candidate for his sixth term as COVER
nor. The reason being that he wants to go before
the people for vindcation on his attitude of oppo
sition to development of the Colorado river
That will be nice Governor Hunt will come out
of the fracas forced to be content with minority
vindcation.s People of Arizona are tired Of delay
for which there is no explanation and of which
they are convinced there can be no explanation
except the most inexcusable form of politics.
Governor Hunt several years ago overlooked
something. He should have had forethought
enough to have asked for election for dozen or
two terms at one time, thus saving himself the
anxiety and stress of the separate campaigns
Under that arrangement he could, providing that
somewhere along about 1910 he should decide
that he didn't want to be governor any longer,
hand back few terms or leave them in his will
as legacy to some of his political friends

THE BREAD AND BUTTER INDUSTRY

The lumber industry is maintaining normal
degree of activity. Mills are receiving large or
ders and speeding up production.
New building operations for February were 10
per cent ahead of January. February building
permit reports from 364 cities and towns, made
to the national monthly building survey Of S.. w.
Straus Co., show total of 1921 ,916,826, against
1901 ,898,236 in February 1924 This loss was
due mainly to slowing up of operations in New

gains as high as 43 per cent above February, 1924
