TOO MUCH AUTHORITY

Blue sky laws" of California, like
most other states, arrogates too much
authority to the commissioner charged
with it's administration The commits
sioner is given power to make such
reasonable" rules and regulations as
may seem to him necessary to carry
out the intent of law and he may
amend, cancel or modify them at any
time he sees fit; deny the right of a
citizen to earn a livelihood in certain
avocations; scrutinize books and rec
Ords of those who come within the
scope of the act; impound in his dis
cretiOn, funds subscribed for Iegiti-
mate purposes; escheat possessions
legally acquired in promotional effort
make physical examinations of prop
erty at the expense of those who
seek permission to raise capital for
legitimate enterprises, and impose
such other conditions as may from
time to time appear to him neces-
sary to carry out the acts ostensibIe
purpose of preventing the dishonest
from filching the savings of the in.
nOcent.

PRICE FIXERS FIND CO-OPERA.
TION WHEN IN OFFICE

About as big bunch of grafters as
ever fortified themselves in office are
manifest in Maricopa county and the
city of Phoenix
There is no provision made by law
to protect the taxpayers, that all pub
lie work shall be contracted for to
the lowest bidder in city and county
matters. Do those in office pay any
heed to it? Not as much as hog
gives heed to Sundays. For years the
publisher of "Watson's Rural Week
lies," which includes this paper, has
honestly sent in their lowest bid for
county printing. Did he get it? Was
any consideration given his bid? No!
On this subject our files are full of
published protests against the high
handed procedures carried on from
year to year by those who ought to
represent the people of Maricopa
county, but who almost openly rather
serve their own selfish ends and their
political bosses.

SUES AN EDITOR FOR 500 DAM
AGES

Down in Muskogee, Oklahoma, r.
/. BlOkeny, grOceryman, ran an ad-
vertisement steadily in the Muskogee
Phoenix. This was changed regularly
and enlarged on special days. One
day the editor lost the copy and the
adv didn't appear. The storekeeper
went after the publisher for damages,
because his sale was a failure. Peo-
pie had become used to seeing his
special sales advertising and through
failure of the ad. to appear he lost
money and sued the publisher for $1OO
damages. The groceryman won.
This proves the rapid growth of
interest in newspaper advertising.
You read this story and the same
space occupied by your advertisement
would be read by others. If you buy
the space, it is yours for development
of your business the same as if you
bought an automobile for delivery of
your goods. Change your ads fre-
quently and they will be observed.
becoming a valuable and dependable
announcement to your business. If
you don't advertise people are read

Messenger, who would almost let
somebody steal his eyeteeth without
making an Outcry or protest:
The Messenger is opposed to war
and litigation, even when there is
considerable provocation. Right will
prevail in the long run and those who
are temporarily looting the city treas
ury will not profit thereby.
AS taxpayer we might create
trouble for the city manager but we
remember that it is our city. Having
lived here for nearly thirty-five years
without a lawsuit we shall not enter
suit against the city of Phoenix to
compel acceptance of the lowest bid
for printing. If Mr.. Heard and Mr.
Hitchcock can get any pleasure out of
their mutually profitable deal, they
are welcome to it. We shall, at least
retain our self respect.
Closing the door of opportunity
when six publishers of Phoenix bid
on city printing, is in line with bu.
reaucracy. Such action would not be
tolerated in free country.

SCOTT WHITE SECRETARY AT
STATE PRISON

Governor Hunt could not have made
better selection than he did when
he just recently named Scott White
secretary of the state prison at Flor
ence. There are many good men in
Arizona, but no better ones than Scott
White, whose loyalty to duty, devo-
ton to right and ability to perform
whatever task he undertakes never
have been challenged in his long resi-
dence in the southwest
When the primary election returns
showed him only a few votes behind
Bill Claypool for the democratic nom
ination for corporation commissioner
last year, White was urged to wage
a contest; in fact, steps were taken
to take the matter into court, but
realizing such action would affect the
result in the general election, he call
ed a halt before anything was done.
In his view, party success was more
desirable than personal gain.

PROHIBITION MoRTIFYING FAIL
IRE

enforcement of prohibition and the
Volstead Act are a mortifying fail
ure throuout the United States.
The business of dry enforcement
has built up another bureaucratic
organization that is sapping the rev.
enues CT the nation.
A nationally prominent English lady
reported after her visit to the United
States that the wealthy classes of
this country found no difficulty in
securing and keeping ample supplies
OF liquors at all times.
consumption of liquors prohibited
under the Volstead Act has not les
sened among the wealthy. Restrict
ton is only being forced among the
lower classes, upon whom fall most
OF the expense of prohibition enforce
ment.
Take it right here in Phoenix and
these statements are proverbially YER
lhed. Every big celebration of social
or fraternal prominence is not fash
ionably complete without the usual
cocktails, punches and sherbets"
that function as gloom chasers to
put inspiration and pep into their
&ssemblages. These usually get the
real stuff, too, even though it may
nave to be transported from Mexico
or across the continent.
Pats old soliloquy of 'the rich thew
ride IN chaises. the poor they walk
De Jasus" was never more exempli-
lied than in the case of prohibition
enforcement. Bureaucracy has fash
loned a premeditated, long drawn out
program with perquisites and salar-
led officials who feel that too sudden
and universal enforcement would
throw an army of employees out of
a job.
Head of the Arizona prohibition
forces recently is quoted as publicly
derlaring that the full force and eff
fect of enforcement of prohibition in
Arizona would not be apparent for
three years. This reminds the writer.
an old Arizona pioneer, that when the
federal soldiers usually went after
marauding Apaches in early davs
they generally went ahead, or kept
three days behind the redskins. But
when band Of Arizona miners went
after the murderOus miscreants thew
generally cleaned them up and forced
them back on the reservations.
so 1t is with prohibition. While
people parley and tolerate present
conditions, law enforcement will be
violated and the rotten traffic of boot
Iegg1ng continue indefinitely. The
only remedy that thinking minds can
form in such an emergency is to
openly organize for an amendment or
modification of the Volstead Act. This
must be done by agitation and pub
licity by all in favor of light wines
and beer. Only a fraction of the
money spent in evading the law by
patronizing bootleggers in six months
would make Uncle Sam sit up and
listen to the suggestion of workers
and common people who are grossly
Disseminated against in this fake en-
fOrcement of socaI1Ied prohibition.
which draws a distinct line in law
enforcement against the masses but
not the classes.
If you have opinions on this mat
ter send them to the Five Points
Star and let us help start, the ball
rolling to change the Volstead Act in
