in more complex causes.

iff on copper can be secured it canot
be hoped that the local industries can
survive If the long talked of tariff
becomes reality it will not only mean
the perpetuation of the industries upon
which the prosperity of Douglas de-
pends, but it will mean a material in
crease in the wages of those connected
with the copper industries
Cameron, upon his arrival in Doug
las Monday night, gave his solemn
promise that if reelected to the senate
he would bring about the birth of this
protective tariff. Considering the fact
that he has in the past made many
promises, seemingly as impossible, only
to come through victorious in every
instance his ability to make good this
vital promise is now conceded.
Under the auspices of the Bisbee
Cameron for Senator club, Cameron
will address meeting in Bisbee
Thursday night. The senator will
speak in Tucson Friday and in Nogales
Saturday. Elaborate plans for his re-
ception in each of the places are being
formulated.
Plans to tender Cameron a banquet
in Douglas have been abandoned, due
to the pressure of the senator's many
engagements. Cameron stated that he

it would be impossible for him to full

already been made for him in this dis

''The worst of it seemed to be over
pretty soon, but by now the course
was so covered with water that we
had to take out floaters and use
them on the green, sort of propellins
them up to the hole like you have
seen loggers do prodding logs up to

them over the hole we called them
sunk.
There were a good many places
where we had to wade of course,
and once both of us while pursuing
balls that had been caught by Il
cnrrent didn't notice that we were
right over the brook, and fell in
pretty near up to our necks.
II looked around at Arthur when
that happened. He pulled himself
out of hummock, wrung the water
out Of his shirt and trousers, poured
it out of his shoes and looked re-
flectively at the skies.
"Going to quit at last?' I asked
"Quit? Hardly. I was just adj
nliring that cloud coming up on the
horizon there. 1t seems to be going
pretty fast
II looked up. He was right. It
was coming fast. 1t was sort of
green cloud, shade which would
have been pretty on a wave. but
which looked ominous somehow in -
cloud. Dark green. And shot with
lightning.
"As to coming fast, by the time 1
had got my eyes focused on it, it
was right overhead, and not so far
overhead as I should have liked.
There were long whitish whiskers
hanging out of il, and every two or
three seconds it would be split from
one end to another with crack of
lightning that looked from where we.
stood to be about foot wide.

of the water out of his clothes, and

He had set the bag up against a

Arthur.

when Jonah Came Home

The prophet Jonah had just arrived
home after quite a trip, no small part
of which had been inside whale. All
the inhabitants were naturally much
interested, especially his mother-in-
law, who had sped Jonah on his jour-
ney in the hot hope that Jonah would
keep on journeying. We'll, boys,'
said the prophet, Il was inside there
for three whole days, and uncomfort-
able days they were-before the whale
got sick and spewed me out!" "That
must have been a strong whale" said
his mother-in-1aw. You make most
people sick at first sight" Which
proves that the family life of a prophet
is much like other eople's.-Capper's

| No Arizona legislator has ever re-
turned to his native soil with a more
/ impressive record of genuine achive-
ments than has Cameron to his credit
I Cameron's political opponents once
| dubbed him promising Ralph" because
he repeatedly promised to bring about
the enactment Of legislation benefitting
almost every individual community in
| the state. The title thus given him in a
| spirit of political enmity has now as
sumed deeper Significance Camerons
supporters and the citizens of Arizona
are proud of promising Ralph" the
man who has had the courage to study
the needs of every community in the
state, promise remedial legislation and
then demonstrate the ability to make
good his promises in every INSTANCE.
Cameron's dogged determination, his
Initiative and his power to win in the
face of Opposition are clearly demon
strated in one instance which is par
ticularlv we'll known to the citizens of
Douglas. On three occasions the army
post at Camy Harry j.. Jones was orr
dered abandoned by the war depart
ment. Other Arizona representatives
in Washington telegraphed, in answer
to the petitions of Douglas citizens
that it was useless to attempt to sway
the war departments decision. Ralph
Cameron, however, telegraphed that the
post would remain and as result of
his efforts on the occasion of the last
order to abandon the camp, the camps
permananey as a training and border
patrol post is now practically assured.
In another district, dam was needed
in order that vast areas might be saved
from ruin and other, greater areas of
barren ground be put under cultiva-
tion. 1T was talked of for years. Ari-
zona legislators went to Washington
promising that the dam would become
reality = returning with a common
answer, that the appropriation could
not be secured. After his election o
the senate and before his departure for
Washington, Cameron promised that
the dam would be built and that he
would never rest until the necessary
funds had been appropriated. The
Coolidge dam, now nearing completion,
represents the fulfi1lment Of only one
of Camerons sincere promises.
1t would be an interminable task to
enumerate the full list of Cameron's
accomplishments since he went to the
senate. No problem has been to great

of them, of course. But they do

you're afraid, if you get me. And

hole when both of us noticed that
it was getting so dark that you
could hardly see to putt. When that
happens right in the middle of an

thunder clouds, all laced over with
zig gag fire, and just about that time
there was a terrific crack just ahead
of us, and the air beganato smell Of

reasons for not wanting to get
struck said Two of them being

do you say we go rack to the clEt
house like a couple of sensible birds.
We can play better when we aren't

Don't be quitter, said Arthur.
I enjoy a thunderstorm now and
then. Beside if you know anything
about such things you know that
only two men in every eleven mill

lightning storm. So you see there is
sort of slosh through the standing
water when it hit the bail, and

of thunder just as 1 was driving
and I would outdo myself.

consists, a Resolution was forwarded
through the Governor of the Virgin Is
lands to the President of the United
States and to the Committee on Terri
tories md Insular Possessions of the Sc.
nate and House of Representatives anent
legislation before the Congress touch
ing the Virgin Islands of the United
States.
AS a sequel to this message and re-
Quests-also to the Petition of a similar
nature and purport despatched stimuli
taneousIy by the Governor to the Presi-
dent and the said Committees, signed
by leading business concerns, merchants
taxpayers and others-a Congressional
Investigation was proposed to visit the
islands. but however did not receive the
sanction of Congress; the Honorable
Hiram Bingham, Senator from Connec-
ticut then on his own |voIition visited the
islands with the object Of submitting
report thereon to Congress.
While approaching the interest which
prompted the submitting to the Con-
gress of legislation tending to change
the existing temporary government for
the Virgin Islands, the opinion of the
majority of the Colonial Council is, that
the change embodied in the reported
Bills are premature and not prOmOJIVe
Of the public welfare.
The Colonial Council Majority feels
that if the replacement of the Navy per
sOnel by civilians, to be appointed by the
President, is what must be understood
to constitute a permanent form OF gov
eminent. such a proposition is impracti-
cable, owing chiefly to the fact that it
involves a change economically in the
whole order Of things without any CORES
pOnding benefits, administrative other
wise by causing the withdrawal of the
Navy and consequent suspension OF its
activities here-a situation which is obvi.
ousIy, most undesirable.
In this connection it should be obser-
we'd, neither thru their accredited repre-
sentatiles in the Council nor otherwise
have the people as such ever expressed
the desire for a change of governmental
fact which the Resolution Of the Joint
Colonial Councils on March "a, 1924, con
firms. And while it may be conceded
that eventually when a brighter future
daWns for the islands, the political re-
Quirements should receive attention, any
action by Congress now, looking towards
such accomplishment, would not have
sufficient material or experience from the
islands themselves, to form the necessary
consideration with a final form Of Gov
eminent in view.
The few years that have passed since
the transfer of the islands from the old
sovereignty to the new, have been too
short to warrant radical changes, in
fact, TOO short to permit any reasonable

1t seems to US that further period of
time for development under existing
conditions should be allowed as a fore
cast for judging and a foundation on
which to build, and would suggest a
period of ten years, after which the
matter could be reported on by the COun-
Gil or otherwise.
Meanwhile it may be affirmed that the
inhabitants will suffer no h]ardships in
consequence of, and by a continuation of
the existing form of government; nor
will they lack any of the ADVANTAGES
which their rights and privileges insured
them under their status.
For the reasons aforesaid the Colonial
Council Majority believes, that legisla-
ton at the present time of the kind pre-
pared and presented to Congress, must
be considered in many respects inappii-
cable, and ~lnopportune and not conducive
to the general welfare of all the people
of the isIsnds; but would respectfully
suggest the following measures for even
tual action by Congress:
/. That u. S. Citizenship be granted
Virgin Islanders.
2. That a Technical School be estab-
lished in st Thomas, at Federal expense,
so as to afford the youth of the islands
an opportunity to acquire technical
training.
3. That an Agricultural Experiment
Station, of moderate size, intended for
the common working man be established
as near to town as poss bic, for the
particular purpose of ~instrUcting the
working classes in rural pursuits with
homestead settlements in view; and eX-
ira purpose of the Station being to find
out the prospects for agriculture in this
island, considering surface soil, sub
strata, water conditions, climate, and
shipping conditions.
4. That Federal aid be given to the re-
construction OF the islands road sys-
TENS which are in a very bad cOndi-
ton and in places almost abandoned,
partly owing to recent hurricanes.
The rebuilding of these roads is a ne
cessity for the rehabilitation of agricuI-
ture, but will besides assist the islands
in their efforts to draw a share Of the
tourist trade, to which their location,
climate, waters, and scenic beauty make
them so eminently suited.
The Council Majority finally wishes
to use this opportunity to thank the Con-
gress, through the Honorable Gentle
men of the Committees on Territories
and Insular Possessions, for the kind
assistance already given these Islands by
Congress, moreso the elaborate Water
System.
