NO BOND ISSUES WANTED
(Taxpavers' Magazinel

Defeat of the Highway Finance
Bill, which had been placed on the
ballot at the general election through
the efforts of the state highway de-
partment and the Arizona Good Roads
Association, was so decisive as to IN
dicate beyond the shadow of a doubt
that the people of Arizona are OPP
posed to any additional bond issue at
this time. The measure was defeated
by vote of 40,622 no to 8,423 yes.
Although it included within its pro-
visions the re-enactment of the gasO-
line tax law, the 10 cent road levy
and the motor bus and truck tax, all
of which are generally regarded as
proper measures for raising of reve-
nue. for the construction and main
tenance of the highways, the real pur-
pose of the proposal was the floating
of ten million dollar state bond is
sue for roads. Although a constitu-
tional amendment would have been
necessary to make the bond issue pro-
vision effective the people showed N
no uncertain manner that they We're
unwilling to take chance by adopt
ing the law as drawn.
The danger Of passing such a law
which would have paved the way for
state bond issue, was repeatedly
pointed out by this magazine, and in
the closing days of the campaign she

HUNTS SPECIAL SESSION
(El Paso Herald)

Gov. Hunt of Arizona has called
special session Of the legislature
to consider Colorado river legislation
and to make an appropriation for
the financing of the state highway de-
partment
The Colorado matter becomes acute
as a result of the senate irrigation
committees approval of the Swing
Johnson bill providing for the con-
struction Of the Boulder canyon
dam.
Gov. Hunt evidently feels the need
of the legislatures backing in his
stand that California must not be al
lowed to get away with disproportion-
ate benefits from the dam and the
great hydroelectric power project
which is to follow its construction.
Arizona has 43 percent Of the
drainage area tapped by the Colora-
do river and contributes 28 percent
to the flow. Naturally, Arizona does
not feel inclined to turn over most
of the water to irrigate the Imperial
Valley and most of the power to el-
ectrify Los Angeles and her indust-
ries. 1t is believed the sentiment of
the state has pretty thoroughly
crystallized to support Gov Hunt in
this matter. Inasmuch as the damsite
areas drained by the river are the
possession of Arizona, here arises
a nice problem in states rights.
just what can neighboring states,
and the federal government itself, do
to take away Arizona's rights in
the Colorado?

THE OLD MANS HOPE AND WISH

We wish you happy, prosperous, con-
tented, successful New Year, readers
We do not wish you great wealth for fear
it would destroy your happiness and con-
tentment, but we wish you sufficient for
all needs including some to spare for those
less fortunate.
There is every indication of good, healthy
wholesome growth in Flagstaff during the
year 1927 We have no hope or desire that
it become a great, cumbersome heartless
city of thousands, but we do hope it will so
prosper that it will offer every comfort and
pleasure that rght-thinking, conscientious
body of people may desire to make them hap
py and contented We want more beautiful
homes and happy families.
We have the most heathful year round
climate in the world.
We have a surrounding country of never
ending wonders and surprises
We live where men and women are known
and loved for what they are and for what
they are doing for their fellow men. Just
being good folks" is the main requirement
for prominent seat where Just wealth
couldn't even buy an admission ticket.
God provides the Christmas trees here
and trims them free in the holiday sea-
son. We hope we can furnish the "Good Will
Toward our Fellow Men" which goes with
them.
The faults of our friends are our faults
their virtues are their own.

bill, including what was said to be a
typographical error increasing the
tax on auto stage lines ten-fold,, were
given by the Good Roads Association
as reasons for withdrawing its en-
dorsement. In addition, the owners
and operators of stage lines alarmed
at the prospect of an enormous in
crease in their taxes, waged Wig
orous campaign against the measure.
1t is almost certain, however, that
this proposal, with it's typographical
errors corrected and with its Siamese
twin, the necessary constitutional
amendment, will be introduced at the
next session of the legislature and
that the lawmakers Of the state will
be urged to submit to the people,
probably at an expensive special
election, almost the identical ques-
ton which has just been very defi-
nitely decided in the negative.
Now is the time for the taxpayers
of the state, to impress upon their
representatives in the legislature,
regardless of political affiliations,
that they do not need nor want any
measures adopted which will pave the
way for a state bond issue. If every
reader of this magazine will appoint
himself or herself a committee Of one
to write to his or her representative
or senator, protesting againsts the
passage of any legislation leading to
state bond issue, there need be. no
anxiety on the part Of anyone that
such a measure will be adopted,

CHRIST STILL LEADS US

Well sir, there's another Christmas Day laid
away among fond memories of the past In a
general way it was the best of all the rest. Not
in individual memories of those joyous days gone,
possibly, but out over our broad land brotherly
love has grown and is developing among mankind.
One does not need to look back so far in his life
to note the wonderful change that has been
brought about IN the minds and hearts OF men
as to Just what is due a fellow traveller on lifes
great highway. Youth realizes it least for they
have not travelled far The Oldest of us are not
far on our way and have only learned our
small mite of ife's rugged way. Kindly lives well
lived are slowly but surely bringing sunshine into
the lives of those dwelling in the dark shadows
of greed, hatred and jealousy.
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-31
THE SPECIAL SESSION

Governor Hunt has called special session of
the newly elected legislature to meet on January
Bird in advance of the regular session asking
them to legislate funds for the state highway
department and take some action relative to the
Colorado river squabble. Calling a special session
in advance of regular session is something new
in the way of legislative sessions and comes as
real surprise party to the majority Of the new
ly elected members
The people of the state voted down the big
proposed bond issue for the state highway de-
partment and it is hardly probable the legisla-
tors will sanction bond issue in face of the cleo
tion returns.
So far the different special iunketing commit
tees appointed to confer with California and Ne
vada are concerned they have not reached any
common ground which would indicate possible
agreement.
Beyond being able to appropriate more money
for the McCluskey committee peddling out the
usual patronage and organizing the house and
senate doubt if the special session will be
worth its cost.

THE IMPLICATION WORSE THAN
THE WORDS
(Arizona Republican,

A three-year resident of California,
Mrs Ruth Wilson Cotton, after
twenty-year residence in Phoenix,
writes to the Chamber Of Commerce
here to say that she has not yet be-
come accustomed to the "effrontery
of the methods of Native Sons and
Daughters of advertising their glor-
ious state" The writer encloses a
section of the Oakland Tribune con-
tanning it's Bureau of Information in
which a reply is made to the inquiry:
"Will you tell in your column sif it
ever SHOWS in Phoenix Arizona 2"
This is the informative response:
"As rule, some snow falls every
winter in Phoenix. However, the
weather bureau records show that
there have been years when no snow
fell there"
The last half Of the answer is, of
course, true, but the form Of it is as
Intentionally as misleading as if one
should say, "There have been years
when California has not been rocked
and rent by destructive earthquakes,
and there have been other years when
it has not been ravaged by deadly
plaques"
Indeed, earthquakes, even destruc-
tive earthquakes, have been much
more frequent in all parts of Califor-
MIA than snow has been in Phoenix.
There was a snow-storm Of some
proportions here in the winter Of
1892-93; that is, in January of the
latter year. There have been since
perhaps three winters when persons
reported that they saw snowflakes
flying in midair But not in thirty
four years has a snowflake survived
to reach the ground in Phoenix.

HENRY'S BAD STRATEGY
(Dunbar's Weekly

J
Our own Henry F. Ashurst, Unit
ed States senator, is leading the fight
against the seating of Senator-elect
Smith of Illinois.
Although the republican leaders OF
the u. S. Senate indicated to Cover
nor Small of Illinois that it was their
wish that he not appoint Smith to
fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator Mckinley, the Illinois execu-
tive disregarded their wishes and
made the appointment. Senator Smith
has indicated that he viii present his
credentials as an appointed Senator
when Congress convenes after the
holiday recess.
The republican leaders Of the Sen
ate in opposing the appointment of
Smith gave as their reasons that
there was much business to be con-
sidered and disposed of before the
present Congress expires by law on
March A, and to inject the Smith mat
ter into the short session would
raise so much disturbance and take
SO much time that consideration could
not be given to much other important
legislation.
Arizona's interest at this time de-
mands that as much confusion as pos
sible be made in the Senate. 1t would
seem that Senator Ashurst could DO
his state greater service by an en-
deavor to have Mr.. Smiths case con-
sidered by that body during this ses-
sion instead of putting it off until the
next session. The Swing-Johnson bill
is to be considered during the short
session and the more fights and long
drawn-out discussions the Senate can
indulge in between now and March 4,
the greater is the likelihood of fail
ure Of that menace.

REMARKS OF THE GANG
THE BOULDER DAM AFFAIR
(El Paso Heraldl

FL PaS0 HefaIQ)
In commenting upon the Boulder
Canyon dam, Arthur Brisbane re-
marks that the dam would be in Ari-
zona, but large part of the power
and water for irrigation would lie
used in California.
He reflects that the prosperity cf
one state is reflected in all states, the
presumption being, no doubt, that
Arizona would benefit from the
prosperity of California.
Arizonans, however, are not con-
tent to warm themselves in the re-
flected glow of their neighbor on the
west.
They do not care to give their riv-
er, the dam and power plants which
will be on their soil, to furnish water
and power for California use almost
excessively
Rather, they prefer to develop their
own state and let California have no
more than a fair share of the Colo
radios water and power.
CALIFORNIA; attitude from the first
has been one of grandiose assumption
that the Colorado river and all its
possibilities exist only for the bene-
fit of California. The people of the
state think everything, every re-
source, every state anywhere near
California should contribute to Cal
ifornia's wellbeing. All are just part
Of the "back country" From the gov
ernor down, they feel that way about
the Colorado Arizona can provide
the river and the damsite, the power
plant site, all the fundamental mater
ials; let California reap the benefit.
Arizona doesn't appreciate that
sentiment. And first, last and all the
time, The Herald stands with Ari-

says after describing good qualities Of the place:
That's why visit to New. York means staying
