HAS JUSTICE FLOWN?

A very unpleasant situation arose yes
terday afternoon while the Colonial COuu-
Gil was in open session. The Order of the
Day was being disposed of and the resol.
utiOn introduced by Councilman r. Fran.
els calling for an investigation of the man
agement of the Department Of Educa-
ton was being discussed. The majority
of the members present denounced the
administration of the said department
and upheld the resolution. 1t was NOV
ed and carried that the resolution be
passed in one discussion, Whereupon
Commander Baker, U. S. Navy, repre-
senting the Governor, got up and in the
manner peculiar to Navy men informed
the Colonial Council to the effect that
the Governor of the Virgin Islands is
responsible to the President, and the
President only, for his administra-
ton of the affairs of the Islands and
only the President and not the Colonial
Council can cause an investigation of
any of the departments Of the Civil
Government. The members therpupon
retired from the meeting in disgust and
as there was no quorum present the
chairman was forced to adjourn the
meeting.
1t is common knowledge that the ma
jority of the people in this island request
ed the Council to cause an investigation
of the administration of the Department
of Education, and it was solely on these
complaints and requests that the Council
was considering the resolution. When it
is remembered that the Department of
Education is a Municipal Department the
Governor should have been satisfied to
allow the Council to repudiate the charg-
es made against it, if they were not found
ed on facts. By the administration OBJ
structing the Council in the pursuance of
its legal duties il has committed hInnd.

Healthy Condition
Of State Banks Is
Shown By Report

PHOENIX - An uni u l y
healthy condition of state banks in
Arizona is revealed in report of
financial conditions as of June 80,
1926, and a comparison with fig
ures of June 80, 1925, made public
by A. T. Hammons, state superin-
tendent of banks.
Deposits in state banks at the
close of the fiscal year totalled
$45,044,648, as compared to $45,-
924,657. Despite this drop, easily
accounted for, the banks have been
paying off their obligations on a
large scale and have been able to
reduce the amounts loaned out.
The item of bills payable, redis-
counts and other liabilities" was
reduced from $1,632, ,646 to $685.
628. During the same period, the
report shows, loans and dis
counts were reduced approximately
$1,500,000.
i No report is available as yet on
the condition of national banks,
but this will be issued by the bank
superintendent shortly.

Carl Hayden Says
Democrats VIII Win
Congress Control

Still showing the effect of "shell
shock" caused by the rush of
weighty matters during the closing
hours of congress, Congressman
Carl Hayden, Democratic candidate
for the senate, accompanied by
Mrs. Hayden, spent short time in
Winslow last Friday evening, en-
route to Phoenix from the national
capital.
Mr.. Hayden remained in Wash
ington a few days following the
session to wind up committee af-
fairs, then came straight through
to Arizona. His secretary, Jack
Gavin, is expected to arrive in Ari-
zona Sunday night.
A number of local Democrats
gathered at the local station of the
Santa Fe to greet Arizona's con-
gressman.
Hayden recently sent out letters
| to all of the Democratic precinct
committeeman in Arizona formally
announcing his candidacy for the
nomination as United States SEN
ator If elected to that post, he
says he is going to vote against the
seating of Mr.. Ware, of Pennsyl-
vania.
"The purchase of public office
strikes at the very heart of popu-
lar government" declared Hayden,
in discussing the Pennsylvania
election scandal. Nothing worse
can happen to the American peo-
pie than the unlimited use of mon
ey to control elections. Fortunate
ly under the leadership of Senator
Walsh, of Montana, congress in
1925 passed an effective Corrupt
Practices act
is Punishable Crime
"That which was done to defeat
Mark Smith for reelection in 1920
if repeated this year, is a crime
punishable by Imprisonment in a
federal penitentiary. Let us hope
that there will be no occasion to
ask for the enforcement of that law
in Arizona and that nothing will
occur in our state to demand the
attention of Senator Reeds COM
mittee.
with the exposure of bribery
and corruption in Pennsylvania to
the tune of $2,700,OOO in the Repub-
lican primary, Senator Reed, of
Missouri, forced the adoption of a
resolution to appoint an Investigate
ing committee empowered to probe
campaign expenditures in every
state"
Discussing the complexion of the
next congress, Hayden said:
zone does not have to possess
much of the gift of prophecy to ac-
curately predict Democratic sue
cess in the national elections next
November. Every one who has OBJ
served the drift of political cur
rents knows that the tide has turn
ed against the Republican party
with the result that the nominal
majority which controls the Unit
ed States senate will be lost. A
change in only 35 of the 435 con-
gressional districts means Demo-
cratic supremacy in the house of
representatives 1t is confidently
expected that over a fourth of that
number of seats will be gained in
the state of Pennsylvania"

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT is UPHELD
AS REGENTS VOTE DOWN CHARGES:
ABROGATE FACULTY CONSTITUTION

TUCSON - Charges preferred
against the Cloyd H. Marvin ad-
ministration of the University of
Arizona by the Tucson Ministerial
association were not sustained by
the board Of regents in special
meeting Saturday, it was officially
announced by Cleve Van Dyke, sec
retary of the board, at 11:1O a. M
Five of the eight regents present
voted against sustaining the charg-
es, while three voted to sustain the
charges. Governor G. w. P. Hunt
was absent from the meeting.
Immediately following the vote
On the charges, the regents abro-
gated the faculty constitution, re-
turning full governing power of the
University to the board of regents.
The Marvin administration has
been under fire by a group of ia
Guilty members and the Tucson
Ministerial association for the past
two or three months. A hearing on
the charges was held in May and a
defense hearing was held the early
part of June.
Action on the matter was taken
Saturday morning after an attempt
had been made to adjourn the
meeting. A telegram from Cover
nor Hunt, asking that the meeting
be postponed until next week was
presented at the opening of the
meeting by Chancellor Ellinwood.
Regent Charles Layton moved that
the meeting be adjourned, with C.
o. Case, superintendent of schools
+ seconding the motion. The vote
was four to four, so not carried
The five regents who voted
against sustaining the charges of
the ministerial association were
Chancellor E. E. Ellinwood, John
Campbell, Cleve Van Dyke, J. J.
Corrigan and G. o. Case. Those
voting in favor of sustaining the
charges were Roy Fitzpatrick, Chas.
Layton and Mrs. Theodore Marsh.
The motion to abrogate the fac
ulty constitution was made by Sec
retary Van Dyke and seconded by
Mr.. Corrigan. This constitution
was passed four years ago and has
been in operation since that time.
1t has been one of the points about
which the dispute has centered
having given the faculty committee
a share in the administration of the
university.
The vote on the matter of abro-
eating the faculty constitution was
as follows: Yes-EllinWood, Camp
bell, Van Dyke, Marsh and Corri-
gan. No-Kilpatrick, Layton and
Case. Mr.. Case explained that he
was not thoroughly acquainted
with the contents of the constitu-
tion and for that reason voted neg
atively.

INCREASES FOREST
HAZARD IN ARIZONA

TUCSON - The fact that the

danger from forest fires, according
to forest supervisor Fred Winn, of
the Coronado National forest. The
lack of rain and the high southerly
and westerly winds, with accom-
panying low humidity, have all
tended to create a serious situation.
