Navy Day To Be

Mayor Jackson Asked to Co.

Mayor Charles e. Jackson has
received a letter from w. Parker
Runyon, N.cvy day Chairman for
New. Jersey, asking that he COOP
crate again this year in the OBJ
servance of Navy day, Oct. 9th. by
authorizing the display of the Ma
tional colors on public buildings
and by calling attention to the OBJ
servance by proclamation or other
means he may deem desirable.
Mr.. Runyon declares that Navy
day has proved of great benefit be-
cause it better informs the Ameri-
can people concerning their Navy
and seapower. The President has
approved of the Nays participa-
ton in the observance. Special at
tention, he states. will be given
this year to the close relation be-
tween our growing foreign trade
and the protection afforded it by
the Navy.
New Jersey. he states. ranks sew
enth among the states of the Union
in foreign exports. In 1925 her
shipments abroad were valued at
nearly a quarter of billion dol
lars. Her petroleum, copper. auto
mobile, chemical and machinery in
dustries shared largely in these
sales to foreign countries. 1t is
hardly too much to say, Mr.. Run
yon states. that the prosperity OF
every person in the state is bound
UP in the free movement OF sur
plus products to overseas markets.
That the United States should
have a navy adequate to insure
fair treatment to our commerce
throughout the world is. believe,
self-evident.' Mr.. Runyon declares.
Oct. ~ is also the anniversary
of the birth of the late President
Theodore Roosevelt, so much OF
whose life was devoted to advanc-

TRADE WITH THOSE WHO
TRADE WITH YOU

"You prosper as your town pros
pers; trade at home and everyone
viii benefit"
! For the fifth time in the history Of
| the state, civic and commercial or
ganizations of Arizona are setting
about to drive home to the buying
public the fact that keeping home
money at home is one Of the funda-
mentals of prosperity, in which all
share. They are going to do it by
concerted effort, during ''Trade at
Home-Buy Arizona Products" week,
which will be observed throughout the
state March Is to 20.
The gTrade at Home-Buy Arizona
Products" week was suggested by the
Arizona Industrial congress, and then
taken up by most Of the civic and
commercial organizations of the
state. The result is that most cities
of Arizona will have a real, live cam
paign.
In every case the campaign will be
conducted by the local chamber of
commerce or commercial club, the
congress cooperating with each to
make the movement statewide. Many
organizations are planning to make
the week regular celebration, with
displays and the like.
The one point which will be en-
phasized in every town during the
week is that every householder will
help himself by patronizing his home
merchants and business men. Poor
business directly or indirectly affects
every citizen, and good business means
better pay and more work for every
body. Every dollar that is spent out
side ones home town hurts that, town,
the spender with the rest. The only
way to bring back prosperity IS to
keep the money at home.
With the Trade at Home idea will
be emphasized the direct benefits of
using home and state products. Us
ing Arizona products means increasing
the production and hence the invested
capital of the agricultural and manu-
featuring industries of the state. And
helping these industries to prosper
means more taxable assets, with
lower individual taxes; it means that
more money will be brought into the
state and spent in the state, and that
everyone will share in the prosperity
brought by better business conditions.
The facts are the same in both
cases. "You prosper as your town
and your state prosper; keep your
money at home and all will benefit" :"

HIGHLINE DAM BILL is
INTRODUCED BY CAMERON

Construction of $500 100000 flood
control, irrigation and power Develop
ment project on the Colorado river at
| Glen Canyon and Bridge Canyon, Ari-
Zona, as a substitute for the Boulder
Canyon project, was proposed in a
measure introduced by Senator Cam
eron, republican, Arizona.
The measure, introduced at the re-
quest of the Arizona Highline Canal
association, contemplates the reclama-
ton of 3,500,000 acres of arid land in
Arizona, the making available OF a
domestic water supply for Los An
geles and other southern California
cities and the delivering of water for
irrigation to the Imperial and Goa
chella vallies Of California.
This would be done by means of a
so-called highline canal, which would
syphon water under the Colorado river
near Topock, Ariz., and deliver it at
point $50 miles distant from the point
of diversion. Construction cost of the
irrigation feature of the project
would be repaid to the government
from lands irrigated and power privi-
leges at dam sites would be sold to
pay the cost of construction of these
projects. The Highline Canal associa-
ton of Arizona includes in its mem
bership 18 members of the present
Arizona state legislature and is head
ed by State Senator Fred Golfer of
Arizona.
The association was organized to
advocate the construction of the high
line canal project.
Development, as proposed in the
Cameron measure, contemplates a
comprehensive development of the
Colorado river which, when completed,
would cost between $3.50, 100000 and
81 ,O00,0 100000. While Cameron ex-
planned that the measure did not
necessarily include his views on the
subject of Colorado rivere develop
ment, he presented it to the senate,
he said, in accordance with his desire
to give a fair hearing to every plan
of development of the river.
