ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN

Senator Caneron's system of being all things
to all men, was most aptly Illustrated when he
introduced bill appropriating S650,OOO for q
road from Maine to Grand Canyon. After doing
his utmost to defeat the proposed exchange OF
the Bright Angel trail for million dollar road
which the government proposed to maintain per
manently he threw this bill into the senate gr1st
and promptly forgot it, knowing it had no chance
and hoping it hadn't. The people of Williams
called his attention to the fact hat the bil-speci
fled that the road was to be built from Maine to
Grand Canyon and they objected to that, wanting
the road built on the survey which brought 1t
within few miles of Williams.
Cameron promptly advised them that the bill
would be amended when it came up.
The senator had placated Flagstaff by intro
ducing a bill for S650000 which he knew We
wouldn't get instead of the road we would have
gotten; then placated the people of Williams by
telling them he would have it amended
This is not intended an argument as to
where the road should go, but we merely mention
it to show Senator Cameron's system of being all
things to all men-under all circumstances.
The people of Coconino county were much In
terested in getting good road to Grand Canyon
from the National Old Trails highway. Senator
Cameron was only interested in getting revenge
on the national park service. As a consequence
we lose the million dollar road, but the senator
has paid off a grudge.
If Arizona wishes to elect Senator Cameron as
the representative of the Millionaire Stetsons and
Mr. Van Dyke, the Miami mining magnate, it has
a perfect right to be misrepresented.

HOW TO MAKE THE DOLLAR JUMP
THROUGH A HOOP

Ford is one of the very best financial politicians
of the age, except one. He says he is giving his
men five day week. This sounds most elegant,
but if you will notice carefully you will find he
spreads the same pay roll over the six days. Pos
sibly needing relief from oyer-production. It's
the same old story that has fooled the working
man for many years
Are we paying too much for what we get, or
is the dollar cheaper and only buys 81 cents worth
for one dollar?
Ford knows just as well as the rest of us who
work our shift out regardless of hours, that he
is only peddling dope especially mixed to cargy
on his schemes.
We are willing to admit Mr.. Ford is a financial
wizard. He has convinced the world that he is
phianthropist-g it all to his employees.
He is now the richest man in the world
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-22
DON'T GIVE A DAM-WE JUST PAY

One of the very pertinent questions the voters
of this section are asking themselves is: Why
did Senator Cameron have his family, his private
secretary and the millionaire Stetsons locate their
mining and other claims all in the Boulder Can
yon country for miles up the river and covering
part of the proposed Boulder Canyon dam site,
if Senator Cameron favored the Glen Canyon dam
site for the first big dam on the Colorado river!
People who have given the matter considera-
tion believe it is at least very odd that Senator
Cameron would take his family and the Stetsons
so far down the river unless he figured to boost
that end of the game.
Of course, Senator Cameron did boost the
Boulder Canyon dam site in congress, but did not
send any special sheets from the Congressional
Record to this section of the country under his
frank. Consequently, the people here are not
supposed to know of the position he took at that
time
At Yuma recently in his talk, Senator Cam
eron forgot, or very conveniently remembered
not to speak of the Swing-Johnson bill or the Col
orado river project.
The people of Yuma are undoubtedly given to
believe that the interests of the California busl
ness men will be best served in getting the Swing
Johnson bill over for the Boulder Canyon dam II
Cameron is reelected.
Up north and in the rest of Arizona, Cameron
is for the Glen Canyon dam site.
Being 'poor pioneer with plenty OF travelling
expenses, Senator Cameron forgets that news
agencies do not use the old buI1o express; he
forgets that the people of the state are Informed
daily of what is going on throughout the state J;
a man must be square in all corners of it, or be
asked why he shifts positions in different local
tiles.
The Senator told his Flagstaff audience that he
had been charged with trying to steal the Colo
RADIO river, and, that he would be glad to steal il
and give it to Arizona.
We would suggest that it would be great
stunt on his part now, if he was sincere in his
statement to renounce all claims to the mining
claims located down around Boulder Canyon
to the governent-which his family private sec
retary and the millionaire Stetsons are claiming
The federal government has cases pending
against this outfit, asking them to show cause
why the claims should not be cancelled. Or at
least the government charges the claims are il
legal.

PAY BILLS NOW

Roger Babson. business statistcian, says this
lis the time to pay bills and get out of debt:
"The present is a very good time to reduce
loans This is always good step to take when
in period of prosperity as loans can be reduced
with much more ease during such period than
they can when money is tight As in other things
there is time when it is easy to reduce indebt-
edness and time when it is hard to reduce in
debtedness. The present is the time to get out
of debt.
"We are now passing through period when it
is easy to borrow money and the banks are an
xious to loan. The temptation, therefore, is to
expand and borrow more money. But easy
money conditions cannot always last and when
interest rates stiffen is when it is hardest to pay
up the old loans Now, therefore, is the time to
stop borrowing money and get all loans paid up
Keep in mind that the time to reduce indebted
ness is when it is easy to borrow and the time to
increase indebtedness is when it is hard to bor-
row."

DESIGNATING THE GRAVEYARD

Senator Cameron is stretching himself ove1
more territory. Now he AYERS that, sMe'n Char
ley Akers and 'Bucky' ONeil made the main line
come through Phoenix" Luckily for Cameron
both Bucky O'Nen and Charles Akers are dead.
Dead men tell no tales. If it comes to show
down, we have no doubt Ralph will drag in the
names of the late General John G. Greenway and
the late President Harding as bosom friends
whom he, Cameron, helped out in the past. A
man must be in desperate straits when he is will
ing to desecrate the graveyard with the hope OF
gaining votes for his own personal use

TO RALPH CAMERON:
SOME FAIR QUESTIONS
MESA Journal -Tribune)

Senator Cameron, you are asking
the people of Arizona to return you
to the Senate that you may, among
other things, protect their interests
in the Colorado river. By general
agreement, and your own admission
that stream is the most important
natural resource left to this state
To see that the state is deprived Of
none of its Colorado rights is, there
fore, the most important duty that
can devolve upon any representative
whom Arizona may send to Wash
ington.
But will you, when the crucial mo-
ment comes, protect first the inter-
ests of Arizona, or the interests of
your wife, your son, your secretary
and your business associates in their
string Of mining claims staked for 25
miles along the lower reaches of the
Grand Canyon and covering the Boul-
der Canyon, Black Canyon and Bulls
Head dam sites
Simply because your own name
does not appear on the list of locat-
ers, will you now tell the voters of
Arizona, as you once stated on the
floor of the Senate, that you have no
personal interest in the Colorado
River?
Will you use all your boasted in
fluence with the national administra-
ton and with the governmental de-
partments to set aside those loca-
tions, conflicting as they are with
the claim of Arizona to the bed of
the river?
The Government has brought suits
to eject your friend, G.. Henry Stet-
son, your wife, your son, and various
other persons closely associated with
you and Stetson, from the canyon.
Those suits are still pending on the
Federal Court dockets at Prescott
and at Carson City, Nevada.
Have you done everything in your
power, Senator, to bring those ac-
tions to speedy trial and eliminate
one of the clouds hanging over Ari-
zona's title to the Colorado's bed?
On the contrary, have you not used
your boasted influence to delay the
hearings
The Government cases against your
wife, your son, your partner in many
Grand Canyon ventures, and various
others who appear to be merely
dummy" locaters, were prepared by
Harold Baxter, appointed by Attor-
ney General Stone as special prose-
cutor in matters involving land titles
in Arizona. He alleged that there
was not sufficient mineral to justify
the placer claims that stretch along
the Colorado for 25 miles, nor any
at all to warrant the lode claims
superimposed over the placer loca-
tions and covering the Boulder Cam
yon dam site.
Is it not a fact that you exerted
your boasted Influence and brought
about Baxter's removal when he was
fully prepared to go to trial?
The people who elected you to Of
flee may think it their privilege to
question you with regard to what
you know of the intentions and mo-
tives of these litigants whose claims
are so directly at variance with
those Of Arizona, even though mem
bers of your own family be numbered
among those who have plastered
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-22
REMARKS OF THE GANG

mining locations over three of the
five best dam sites in the Grand Cam
yon.
In the event the Government final
ly succeeds in having those cases
brought to trial, and wins them, will
the defendants not appeal and delay
final settlement for years, even as
you dragged out for a quarter of a
century che dispute over title to your
oreless locations along and above the
Bright Angel Trail?
In the event that your wife, your
son and your partner win, that their
locations are pronounced legally val
id, what then? Can you guarantee
quish their rights to the State Of Ari-
zona, which claims the bed of the
stream and must ever remain a poor
state unless it can have some voice
in the development Of the Colorado?
Will you even use your influence
with your relatives and your partners
to persuade them to give up their le-
gal rights to the State whose inter-
ests you are elected to represent?
Absurd, of course. No one would
ever think of asking such a silly
question, if you were not a United
States Senator and seeking reelec-
ton.
Before you set up the contention
that the locations were made from a
philanthropic motive, to forestall
some grasping corporation bent on
despoiling Arizona, please remember
that the area in question has been
withdrawn from mineral entry. The
order was issued and became effec-
tive while the locating engineers
were on the ground, but they went
right ahead driving stakes and the
parties for whom they were acting
have gone right ahead trying to per-
feet title.
Just one thing more, Senator. When
Suppose you laid claim to a piece of
property which was also claimed by
others. Would you employ as your
attorney or business agent, to look
after your interests, man who was
the husband of one of your principal
opponents, the father of another, and
the partner of third?
ust one thing more, Senator. When
you were indicted for perjury in
swearing that you spent only $700
in the pre-primary campaign of 1920
and $1,000 in the general campaign,
indisputable evidence was introduced
by the prosecution that Stetson's
secretary placed $4,000 to your cred
it in a Phoenix bank, and that num-
erous other sums came to you from
the same source. Are you still re-
ceiving money from Stetson's office,
and if you are aren't spending it for
campaign expenses, just what are you
doing with it?
We hope that this is not getting
too personal, but you are public
servant, member of the Congress
of the United States, and your acts
should be above suspicion.
These, Senator, are just few of
the questions that this paper would
like to ask you in regard to your at
titude on the Colorado and your fit
ness to give Arizona unselfish SER
vice at Washington. If you answer
them satisfactorily, we may follow
with some others. If you don't an
swer them we won't bother about the
rest, for by no stretch of the imag
ination can you be elected.

OMIGOSH! THIS is AWFUL
(Nogales Herald)

Not since Absalom hung dangling,
a victim of too much hair, has the
hirsute adornment of the upper ele-

man affairs as now. And, of course,
it has remained for the female of the
species to appropriate that, as she
does everything else, to herself, APP

calm of the world have been threat
ened ever since. Controversy has

head is destined to become the en-
blem of a period, like Sandwich glass,
whatnots and wax flowers. 1t will
fix the time of a lady's bloom of

AMT IT THE TRUTH?

There is no question in the minds of the good
ordinary citizen who works for a living, that high
taxes are caused mainly by crooks and criminals.
But the trouble is, that, when criminals and
crooks are caught red-handed, they have friends
and belong to families we love.

the laws we make. They are too willing to Just
