AN ABSOLUTELY ROYAL MA
CHINE

Senator J. j. Cox was elected to
the Arizona legislature to frame a
law to protect banks from being
again robbed as they were by P. K.
Lewis ct ais, in 1928, when 1000
depositors turned from Tom Campbell
to vote for Governor Hunt-seeking
for redress and retribution. Cox's
election was the expression of thou
sands OF other voters besides the rob
bed depOS1tOrs who sought Justice
through the ballot. That expression
has been nullified by the contamina-
tlon of powerful influences in the
Arizona legislature. Senator Cox met
the double-cross and his efforts to
rorce a measure calculated to meet
the desires of the people of Arizona
were defeated. But the people, and
that means republicans, Ku Kluxers
ana Mormons as we'll as democrats,
will return him again two years
hence, with other senators who will
! be pledged to vote for the new bank
ing law that guarantees depositors
their money. In the meantime, State
banks may expect to find their depos-
ltors voluntarily creeping away from
them and placing their surplus coin
. in federal reserve banks and most al
savings. The Observation-Disclosures
Huntski machine is working perfect
ly. Ere the session closes, it will
not be surprising to see a machine
order for red vests and silk knee
pants as a part of the etiquette nee
essary to get in on the floor of the
Senate, or approach the Huntski
throne.

The Wickenburg Grammar School
basketball teams played the Creigh-
ton teams last Friday afternoon. The
girls played a good game considering
that it was the first game they have
played away from home They lost
to the Creighton girls by score of
26 to 8.
The boys did themselves proud by
bringing home the bacon. They won
IS to Is. The game was thrilling all
the way The filtt half ended in a
tie, to g. RaleIt,h Barnette starred
by throwing two very difficult goals.
The boys did not average over SO
pounds.

marked success. We're hoping the

LOOK OUT FOR MAIL ORDER
FRAUDS

There are many questionable con-
Germs back east like the Tie-Art com
pany of Buffalo, N. Y. Among this
class are book concerns who, thru
solicitors, or others get the addresses
of reliable persons, and without their
consent send in an order for merchan-
disc which is filled c. o. d. by parcel
post. The State Miner and Star pub
fishers have several times been stung
by mail order concerns who tried to
force collections on goods forwarded
in this manner by threats and every
ether device known ito collectors,
even after they had been sent back.
The Tie-Art Co., it is said, had built
up an annual business of over $780,
900 within the last two years on this
plan of direct mail distribution. The
new order of the postal authorities
will remove one of the chief objec-
tiOns raised by Better Business Com
missions in all parts of the country
to this scheme of selling merchan-
disc. Persons notified to appear at
the postofice for the package, if they
had not been found at home, would
think valuable package awaited them
since the package had been insured
Later, if the company failed to re-
ceive remittance when two collection
letters had been sent, it made claim
to the postal department for loss of
the package in transit. This forced
the government to check up on deliv-
cries on the insured package When
the Government postal authorities re-
ported the delivery had been made,
and that a receipt had been signed
by the one to whom the package had
been addressed, the final collection
letter would be sent by the company
1t is reported the postal authorities
had been prompted to make this rul-
ing because of the rapid growth of
the business of the Tie-Art Company,
which used the Government service
in this way to check up on individu-
ais not making remittances, that af-
fected their credit rating.

Making Heroes Out of Criminals
The bandit murderers of Haze Burch
were spirited away to Florence to
save them from lynching Like Czol-
gOz, Guiteau and other notorious muir
derers, the Lawrence brothers will
be historically glorified by criminals
for ages to come as bandit leaders
and outlaws. Like Villa, they may
meet violent death, but their mem
ories, by permission of the governor
OF Arizona may be perpetuated in
annals of crime by some d-n fools
who will try to emulate them because
their skulls may be exhibited to fu-
ture ages as heroes of criminology,
when their carcasses and every yes
tige of existence should be forever
burned up in quicklime and blotted
out into Oblivion.

COOLIDGE PROMISES SUPPORT

President Coolidge has promised
his support and cooperation in relief
OF the cattlemen of the west through
the waving of grazing fees in forest
reserves, according to a telegram re-
celved in Phoenix this morning from
Senator Ralph H. Cameron.
Senator Cameron sometime ago in
troduced resolution in the senate
asking for the waving of grazing fees
for 1925 as means of affordinp i'm
mediate relief for the cattlemen OF
the west. The resolution has not
been reported out in the Senate as
yet and all interested in the welfare
of the cattle industry have been urged
to telegraph their support of this res
olution TO any member of Congress
they may know. 1t is believed hun
dreds of these kilograms have been
sent.
Senator Cameron's message this
morning says:
Conferred with President yester-
day on grazing resolution. Have re-
ceived splendid cooperation and en-
couragement."
Owing to the shortness of this ses-
sion of Congress it is not believed
any action Will be taken on the agri-
cultural bill for the relief of the far
mer or cattle industry. This resolu-
tion can be brought out and passed
with little debate if pressure can be
brought to bear on the senate to do
so. kilograms will help to do that

NOT A "MAcHINE" DEMOCRAT

Among the quiet and useful mem
bers of the State Senate, Alfred Kin
ney of Globe stands as one who ever
is at the post of duty and never un-
certain as to what his position is in
regard to any measure This is the
third term in the upper house, and
before he was elected as a mem Der
of the first state legislature he had
served with distinction as a member
of the constitutional convention. He
has been mayor of his home city and
chairman of the Gila County board
Of supervisors.
Senator Kinney was born in Greene
county, Ohio, on January 5, 1856. Ten
years later his parents moved to Iowa
and he was educated in the public
schools of that state. At the age of
sixteen he went to Colorado and work
ed in the railroad shops at Denver
for a while, later going to Divide
where he worked in a saw mill. He
went to New Mexico from Colorado,
and he procured an interest in saw
mill about 80 miles northeast of Las
Vegas, and built up a profitable busi-
ness there, chiefly through supplying
ties and bridge material to the Santa
Fe railroad
In 1881 the senator went to Gila
county and operated a saw mill ten
miles north of Globe In this work
he had the misfortune to lose his
right hand, and this caused him to
quit saw mill work Going to Globe
ne entered a partnership in the Oper-
alton OF an ice plant in which he held
aana active interest until 1908, when
he sold out and retired from active
business. He owns considera BILE prom
erty in Globe. Kinney Park being one
OF his holdings. He also holds stock
IN the company which publishes the
Globe Record, and hence, he has a
right to the sympathy and friendship
OF newspaper men
Senator Kinney makes friends and
holds them, and probably no member
OF the upper house is more kindly
esteemed than he. He let's his con
science form his conclusions, and he
sticks to his convictions with tenacity
and sincerity. He seldom takes the
floor, but he is very influential SEN
ator just the same. In matters of
economy and those pertaining to the
welfare of the average man, his DO
sitlon always is clear; he is a foe TO
useless expenditures and he has an
abiding sympathy for those who toll.
In the words of the late Colonel
Rogers, Alfred Kinney can qualify as
A good man and Democrat. ."-Cour-

The text of the invitation follows:
I'm the name of the Council Of tho
League Of Nations, I have the honor
to invite the Government Of the United
States to send representatives to Sit
on the preparatory commission for the
disarmament conference, which has
been set up by the council by deci-
sion of today's date. and which Is to
meet in Geneva on February 10. 1925.
particulars regarding composition
and working of this commission are
to be found in a document inclosed
with this letter. The following ma
lions, In addition to the states men,
bers of the council. will be invited to
send representatives to the prepare
tory commissions: Bulgaria, Finland
Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Ruma-
mia, Servia and Soviet Russia.
Experts Will Be at Hand.
1.-THE commission will have at it's
disposition the advice of the technical
military and civiliam organizations Of
the league as we'll as that OF any other
qualified authorities which in the opin-
ion of the commission 1t may be ad-
visable to consult on any OF the sub
jects which may come under its con-
sideration.
Its task will consist of the prepare.
ton Of a conference for disarmament.
which 1t is intended to call together
at the earliest possible date. Its de-
alterations will be directed to such
matters as the various factors upon
which the power of a country in time
of war depends; the question whether
it is practicable to limit the ultimate
war strength Of a country or whether
measures of disarmament should be
confined to the peace strength: the
various forms which reduction or limi-
tation may take in case of land, sea,
and air forces hence relative advan-

high importance of the United States
in such matters, the council attaches
the greatest possible value to the CO
operation of the Government OF the
United States. not only in conference,
which 1t is its intention to call to-
gether, but also in the preparatory
work, which, in it's opinion, is indis-
pensable for the success of that con-
ference. The council believes that the
time has come for studying the pr-ac-
