disturbing that the matter was taken
up in February for definite study and
investigation for the purpose of see
ing if there was any method of fore
stalling the danger which seemed to
threaten Arizona.
The congress first made a study of
the land situation. 1t was found that
the new projects, both for pumping
and gravity water, were in most part
held by people who were already land
holders in Arizona. No new blood or
capital had been introduced into the
development, so that if matters were
allowed to run along normally il
would mean that when these lands
were placed on the market there
would be a great danger of specula
tive development in which Arizona
residents would participate, boosting
the price of land beyond reason with
out any idea of actually putting il
into production. This land would then
be held for the normal growth and the
outside farmer coming in would pay
exorbitant prices, with probably dis
astrous results. The final result Of
this cycle would be the collapse of
land values after two or three years;
resulting in considerable loss and
hindering the actual production of
values on the soil which is, after ALL
the basis of taxation.
1t is quite evident that if the prof.
ects which have been encouraged and
boosted by Arizona organizations are
to be a real success in the creation of
new people on the soil under such con-
ditions that they can produce.
A rough survey of the state, with
the help of G. c. Cragin, general su-
perintendent of the Salt River Valley
Water Users association, resulted in a
rough estimate that the lands of Ari-
zona, at the present time and up to
the end of 1926, could accommodate
e, 900 new families. No better method
of solving our tax and development
problem could be devised than to ac-

For the past four years directors of
the Arizona Industrial congress have
been working along economic lines for
the production of new wealth in Ari-
zona. The work has been carried on
through such methods as "Buy at
Home-Use Arizona Products" cam
paign; the co-ordinating of the work
of state and local organizations; "See
Arizona First" campaign, and similar
work. The results have been phe-
nomenal in directing new business to
Arizona, estimated roughly at $70,-
100000.
The development program in Ari-
zona for 1925-26 is approximately
$4,000, and with this impetus large
developments are now planned for
1929.
In January, 1925, several of the di-
rectors of the congress brought up the
question of where this development
was leading US, and what the final
outcome would be. As a result the
president started an investigation and
study of the situation, to determine
where the state would stand in the
matter of taxable wealth when the
f1rSt series OF improvements had been
completed in 1927.
The matter of land development was
taken up with Fred J. Elliott, presi-
dent Phoenix chamber of commerce,
and after due consideration he pointed
out the danger which we faced if the
new irrigation and pumping projects
were brought in on schedule and there
were not sufficient people to populate
them. He brought out very distinctly
that the new developments, instead of
adding new taxable wealth to the
state, would actually depress the value
of all present lands and the final sit
uation in 1927 would be much worse
than if the projects had not been
started, unless they were put on q
productive basis.
This problem presented by the
Phoenix chamber of commerce was. so

Bad Men Wanted To
 Hunt Chinese Pirates
(Rv Associated prassl

HONG KONG, March 27.-Young men spelling for an adventourous life may shortly be given an oppor- tunity to fight Chinese pirates from motor patrol boats.
 At any rate the Hong Kong cham Der of commerce and the Merchants service officers organization, exas- perated at the speed of piracy in the Chinese waters and the complete failure of official methods to cope with the evil are taking steps to es- tablish fleet of patrol boats man. ned by volunteers for the hazardous duty of cleaning out the pirates nests in Bias bay and other places.
 Every patrol boat will be armed with machine guns and equipped with a wireless. Whenever it gets a tip that merchant vessel is mysteri- ously off it's course, as though pirate bands (masquerading as passengers) had seized it and were running it in to one of the innumerable coves on the coast for plunder, it will be the patrol boats duty to find the vessel and stick alongside until the pirates attempt to land. Then there will be scrap, probably nasty one, but it hoped that about year of pugnasity would be followed there after by peace in Chinese waters. Such is the minority scheme" as it is caled, for coping with the evil. The majority cheme"-signed by a majority of the members of the special commission which has been studying the problem-merely pro- poses an extension of the present system of putting grilles throughout the ship in which the Chinese pas sengers, especially those of the coo lie class, can be locked up during the voyage, and thus prevented from talk ing the ship Such grilles, however, have been in use now for two years with the result that the pirates them selves bought themselves good wear ing apparel and booked passage as first-class passengers, whereupon it was even easier than before for them to seize the ship, kill or lock up the officers, terrorize the crew and run the vessel ashore at leisure.
 
 ned by white men who would rather fight than eat, will do more to dis courage piracy than anything else, ac- cording to those now resolute1y push ing the minority scheme.
 Incidentally, the secretary of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce is D. K. Blair and his offices are in the Chartered Bank building, Hong Kong.

standing from other interests. We
really don't need it. They have their
W troubles and we have ours. The
sooner we let them know that we are
fully capable of taking care of our
own, the better for US and for them.
There is but one way. That is to
work out our w salvation through
work, and more work, plus diligent
study. 1t does US no good to cry out
that we used to get IL cents for
beef and now get only 5 cents; or
that we used to get s1.75 for wheat
and now only IS cents; and that
taxes and wages and living costs
are higher. This sort of complaint
gets US nowhere. Work and study
are the thing.
American farmers have in many
places adopted the Danish co-operal-
i've system of marketing aid buying.
In several places it had failed, main
ly because not enough work, study,
sympathy and understanding had
been given the subject beforehand.
It had been rushed through too fast,
like many things American-so fast
it must go either to ruin or success.
This is wrong and against human ma
ture.
In adopting the Danish co-opera-
tive marketing and buying system
the American farmers have put the
cart before the horse. The first
study necessary to cooperative sue
cess is the study of the Danish
county high school, which prepares
the boys and girls to be good farm
ers and co-operators.
Even rivers don't just start.
There's generally a spring at the
source, fed by water that has come
a long way underground until it had
the impetus to burst forth. And so
with good farmers and good coop
orators. They must have the impe-
tus of a good start to get anywhere.
