THE WICKENBURG TOWN CRIER
In this space next week we will
print the first of four stories show
ing how the taxts of Wickenburg
hae been lowered. This will be a
story in figures and will be of inter
est to every town in Arizona.
A Million Dollars
Monte Cristo has been sold for a
million. The new owner, G. G.
Julian, is planning to begin work
thert next week. The mill at the
Belmont starts up today. Last week
a lead strike at the Newsboy, one of
the properties belonging to the
Sonora Deelopment Company, marks
this as one of the very richest mines
in the entire district.
All three of these cry big events
hae happened since the first of Sep
tember Wickenburg is the center Of
great prospects.
The Real Assets of Wickenburg
Hassayampa water, a brand Of
Arizona climate that cannot be
matched anywhere else in the state,
the happy medium Of the foothills;
a modern light plant, good stores.
good hotels, a fine grade school and
the beginning of a recognized high
school under the direction Of PrOfes-
sor Weaver; the strongest bank in
the state; fie dude ranches filled to
capacity eery year by a good class
OF eastern people; a progressie town
council with taxes being constantly
and persistently lowered, while the
axes in other places are going up.
These are among the immediate and
permanent assets Of the town of
Wickenburg.
Is there any other town in the
west that can show better chnaces
for investmtnt? Aside from every
thing else, the town itself offers the
best opportunity for real estate in
vestment that has ever been present
ed anywhere.
The railroad is here; the highway
is here; the new. bridge at Blythe

a great tourist resort proposition
which can be handled with $25,0OO;
another, the site for an art colony,
one of the greatest opportunities or
the entire country; the third, tour
ist camp plan. All of these chances
are here, merely waiting for the man
who has vision to see their possibili-
ties, capital to handle them, and the
business head for their. proper man
agement.
Wickenburg is full up, right now.
Not a single house is available. Not
a store is for rent Is there a better
place in the world for a building in
vestment?
Making the Town Over
Oldtimers are beginning to feel the
stir in the towns activities, and a
program of making the town over
has already been inaugurated. One
of the hardest things in the world
is for ony of us to get rid of the
rubbish that has accumulated on our
shelves and about our dooryards in
the course of our lifetime, but every
citizen Of the town of Wickenburg
who will look out Of his back door
with open eyes for the new opportu-
mites will see that the first thing
that needs to be done is to sweep
awap every old shed and outhouse in
the entire business district.
From the Belmont to the Ellis
down the back alley, may God send
a cyclone! If you prefer to direct
your own affairs, look that section

The authorities Of both institutions
We're opposed to drinking by the stu
dents, but there were saloons in both
places. and although the law of Nir-
ginia forbade the sale Of liquor to

saloons and there was far more
drunkenness among the young people
and among the college students in
those days than there is today.
THE question before your commit.
tee is AT the bottom. the question Of
the return of the saloon. We are told
that a rose by any other name will
smell AS sweet. and saloon by any
other name will smell the same. The
foul odor that hangs around the word
saloon" was caused by just one
thing, namely. the sale OF intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes.
The lawlessness of the liquor
traffic compelled the adoption Of
National Prohibition
Bishop Cannon described the vari-
Gus stages by which the cause OF pro
hibition was promoted and the pro
hibition laws enacted. beginning with
tho local option laws in various com
munities and ending with nation wide
prohibition.
Government dispensaries of liquor
had been tried in South Carolina and
Virginia in the past. he said. and in
both States had proved failures.
The men who appear here urging
modification of the Nolstead act did
not protest against the saloon in the
old days" declared Bishop Cannon
referring by name to Senator Bruce
of Maryland. The lawlessness OF the
liouor traffic in the wet States and its
disregard Of the laws OF the dry states
brought national prohibition.

Senator Bruce has declared on the
floor of the Senate that the people
of wealth will have their liquor, con
stitution or no Constitution. That
statement is consistent, for the liquor
people have always violated the law.
""rhe Ten Comma andments are re-
peatedly violated. yet no one has mace
demand for their repeal. Thou
sands violate the income tax law
but no one has asked to have that
law repealed because Of those viola
tions. No matter If thousa nds or even
millions say they will disregard the
prohibition law, that is no reason for
repeating ii or modifying 1t.
Bishop Cannon insisted that con
ditions were becoming better In New
Jersey and other wet States because
of prohibition.

the Strand in London in one day than
he saw in the United States in a year.
In conclusion Bishop Cannon said:
THE suggestions made 10 secure
more effective enforcement of the
law are naturally somewhat varied.
hut there are very few out Of the
entire number who do not insist upon
certain things: First. that To secure
effective enforcement the work must
he cop1mitted IN those who believe
that the prohibition law Is good
law. that it can and should be en-
forced as effectively as other laws
of similar character. such as the
narcotic drug act. the income tax law
etc; second. il is also insisted that
adequate salaries should he paid to
secure such men as are qualified to
enforce so important and difficult
law: third. that whatever ,number Of
men are necessary properly To en-
force the law in any section OF the
country, schould he provided for that
section. fourth. that the Government
should appropriate whatever amount
of money may he necessary to en-.
force the law: fifth. that more
stringent penalties should be inflicted
upon the viola tors of the law. If the
Trea surv Department considers 1t OF
vital importance to have sufficient
men and money to enforce effectively
the income tax law. which is purely
revenue measure. il is certainly Of
equal importance 10 enforce the pro
hihition law"

Senator Reed read statement
which was prepared last year by a
committee organized in the interest
of prohibition enforcement setting
forth what that committee regarded
as conditions resulting from the pro-
hibjtion law. Senator Reed endeav-
ored to have Mrs. Boole express an
opinion as to whether the conditions
set forth by the statement referred
to were correct. Mrs. Boole said she
would decline 10 answer. because the
national w. c. Z. L. at its convention
in Detroit had adopted a policy In
which the orga niZation pledged itself
to stand back of the authorities In
law enforcement and that the state

and. therefore. she would confine her
self to the policy adopted by her or
ga niZation.
Senator Harreld of Oklahoma
agreed that he did not think Mrs.
Boole should ne required 10 say
what she thought of the statement
of some other orsa niZation.
Senator Reed also endeavored to
have Mrs. Boole say whether II was
q more terrible situation to have alco.
hol manufactured in stills in homes
throughout the country in the pres
ence of children than to have 1t made
outside of the homes in regular dis
tilleries.
Mrs. Roole said she did not think
she would have decided between the
two conditions set forth by Senator
Reed because from her experience in
prohibition work she was satisfied
that stills are not usually operated in
homes where there are children.
