ASK HELP TO DEVELOP
NEW SCENIC HIGHWAY

During the past ten days, several
letters have been received from the
Springerville Chamber of Commerce
relative to the developing of the
Carlsbad Caverns-Grand Canyon high
way and the benefit Arizona will de-
rive from the completion of this road.
The New Mexico Chambers of
Commerce are doing considerable
work on the recognition of this high
way and are working in direct con-
junction with the Springerville asso-
citation. This road will connect the
Caverns, the Rainbow Petrified For
est and Grand Canyon and will offer
some Of the finest scenery in the
southwest, being just one more link
in our marvellous chain of national
highways.
The Springerville Chamber asks
Flagstaff's cooperation in this mat
ter, in an effort to permanently es-
tablish this as one of the scenic
routes of the southwest.

AUTO TRAVED HEAVY
THROUGH THE NORTH

DR.. Oscar C. Bartlett, state ento-
mologist, who has charge of the In
spection stations at Lordsburg, New
Mexico, Springerville, Holbrookv Yu-
ma and Kingman where the immense
stream of motor traffic flowing into
Arizona is given the once over for
anything detrimental to agriculture
and horticulture interest of Arizona
has recently supplied the Automobile
club of Arizona with figures covering
the movement of motor vehicles into
Arizona during the month of July.
The National Old Trails highway is
carrying more of the summer busl-
ness than is the southern route as
is shown by figures given. The Hol-
brook inspection station passed 3,O57
motor vehicles from other states into
Arizona During the month of July
Kingman station inspected 3,O18 We
hicles owned in other states on the
way into Arizona.
Springerville, the third station on
the National Old Trails passed 1,121
cars from other states into Arizona.
Yuma station inspected 2,783 We
hicles bearing licenses of other states
coming into Arizona during July.
The station maintained at Lords
burg handled 1,778 vehicles during
July.
Manager Treadwell of the Automo-
bile club, states this inspection is a
protection to the agricultural and hor-
ticultural interests of the state, pre-
venting entry of various pests like
cotton boil wGevil, San Jose scale, ETC.
and has nothing to do with the eight
eenth amendment or the Harrison mar
cotic law, as many seem to think.
Manager Treadwell called attention
to the business value of the 1857
motor vehicles entering the state dur
ing July, stating that the average
car carried 3.6 persons.
He further stated that the work of

Editorial Comment
Federal Control Of Education
minneapolis JournaD

minneapolis JournaD
Schoolmcn and others who want to put Score
tary of Education into the Cabinet have been be-
fore the House and Senate Committees, urging pass
age Of the Curtis Reed bill
The school fcderalizers have been quick to deny
that they want any Government control of educa-
ton. Instead, they protest they arc after merely
"co-ordinaton, largc-sca investigations and lead
crship"
But, just the same, Federal control Of education,
in some degree, would be tho ultimate result of the
passage of any such measure as the Curtis Reed
bill. And education is about the last thing that
should fall into the Federal field. If the Washing
ton Government is going to have y hand in running
the schools, then the States, cities and counties
may we'll turn to Washington whatever
shreds of responsibility and power they still hold
If we must have Secretary Of Education, why
not also Secretary of Police, Secretary Of Fire
| Fighting. Secretary of Waterworks, Secretary
of Medicine, Secretary of Music Secretary of
Art. and Secretary Ct Parks and Fairgrounds :?
Why not go the whole route, and put in Secretary
of Cafeterias and Secretary Of Ready Wear
Styles?
But the hackers Of the Curtis-Reed bill do nct
want Federal control; just Federal coordination,
Federal research and Federal leadership-which
looks. to the man in the street. like another name
for the same horse
IT there is such thing distinctly local public
Junction. that function is education Coordination
inevitably means more RECOMMENDATION, and already
RECOMMENDATION is one of the crying faults of public
education
The needs CT the California pupil are not the
| needs Of the New Jersey pupil, and never will be.
The problem Of the Minnesota school is not the
problem of the North Carolina school, and never
can be-
Even State control of schools has been overdone,
in that it frequently fails to give due consideration
to the diverse needs Ct different regions of the
same State. Less Capitalization is the school need
OF the hour, yet Congress is asked te enact law
providing for more Capitalization.
How long would the oonglomcration of bureaus
in the proposed Department Of Education wait be-

public education throughout the States? Ste, by

Charles Evans Hughes, appearing in the New
York courts in contempt proceedings brought
against the editor Of the New York World said
that it is well within the rights Of the press to
criticize or challenge judicial action; that all public
officers find themselves at times subject to crit
lcsm, and Judges not immune.
Before the hearing was over the Judge and the
editor were shaking hands and the contempt
charges had been stricken. If the public acts o!
public servants are not proper subject matter for
press censure, then Of the greatest safeguards
Of the Republic is removed.
Fearless criticism of public servants is often
necessary to place the taxpayers upon their guard
and to curb extravaganza in the expenditure OF
public funds. The acts and policies Of public
ants have generally been regarded as within the
scope Of privileged matter and there is accorded
the greatest freedom of discussion by most court:

Judges probably are the most sensitive of all
public servants. This is due largely to the fact
that their acts and opinions seldom come under the
censurc Of the press. The New York case involved
the matter Of bail. The editorial and news articles
= upon which the contempt charges were based
criticized tho practice Of the Supreme Court in
reducing bail established in the Court of General
Sessions. The system had been, designated by the
New York World as shopping for BAIL
The editcr's defense was typical and reflects
the usual motive of the press in passing criticism
on the acts and policy of public servants. We use

A Significant Development

For years the United States has been promoting
trade relations with South America. That trade
has been growing steadily the last few years and
the following excerpt from address by Mr. Jo-
seph T. Cosby of the National City Bank Of New
York indicates to what extent:
with few exceptions the United States
occupies first place in the value of imports from
well in that of exports the countries of Latin
America. The NEST important # these is that rep
resented by the foreign trade Of the Argentine Re"
public. Having a climate similar to our own its
products much the same and, like ourselves, the
Argcntines supply Europe with meat and cereals, 8
very large part Of which is sent to Great Britain.
This is very old trade and, recproc lilly, they have
become accustomed to the use Of many articles Of
British manufacture which they have long taken in
payment of their exports. Notwithstanding this
feature Of Argentine foreign business which is
favorable to British trade development have
built up very substantial commerce with this
try, but still occupy second place with respect
to both imports and exports Great Britain leads
US in the value of her exports to as we'll as in that
of her imports from the Argentine.
ION the other hand find in Brazil, which
crosses the equator and offers large variety Of
tropical products, many articles that do not pro-
ducc here and which we can use advantageously.
We lead the rest Of the world easily therefore in the
value of purchases from that country, the prin
cipa article Of import being coffee, but here again
Great Britain ranks ahead Of in the value of he"
cxrx.rts to Brazil.
Another exception occurs in the Of Bolivia,
the principal export Of which is tin. Great Britain
takes the larger part CT her exports of this COM
modify, but, on the other hand the United States
comes first in the value of exports to that country
Likewise, we export more goods to Uruguay than
any other country sends to them, but it is worthy
Of note that we occupy 0nly sixth place as a pur-
chaser Of Uruguayan products. Great Britain, Ger
many, France Belgium, and the Argentine Republic
all purchase more from her than we do.
"Latin America finds in the United Safes very
good customer, We purchase more than one-fcurth

the past rs years proves this by showing that 1858
