Arthur Brisbane GiUes
Arizona A Big Boost

Arthur Brisbane, while travelling
through Arizona last month on Santa
FEES fast train, ''The Chief" wrote
the following about us:
What do one hundred and fourteen
million American people know about
Arizona, one of the most nagnifi-
cent of the forty-eight states? Part
of Arizona is 100 feet and part Of it
is $4,000 feet above sea level. 1t IN
cludes every sort of climate except
tropical humidity.
From the car window you can get
the outline of seeing America first.
You see gigantic peaks that were once
the eruptive cones OF volcanoes. The
latest models of American cars run
beside the track, with the ruins Of
the oldest prehistoric monuments m
America for the background. You
pass gold and silver mines, quarries,
of onyx and marble and at Flagstaff
you see piles of lumber that tell how
eagerly big forests are being changed
into dollars.
The old Spanish Friar Marcus De-
MIA, first white man TO enter this
state came in 1889, and guided Coro-
nado in 1910. He would find tens Of
millions of acres of the state just as
he first saw them. But other parts,
the important growing cities, Phoenix,
Prescott, Flagstaff, jerome, Douglas,
Globe, Tempe, Tucson, Winslow, all
connected by putting locomotives and
rushing automobiles, with flying ma
chimes carrying the mail above, would
surprise the good monk.
The motto OF Arizona is "God En-
riches" A better one could not have
been chosen. There is wealth enough
in this state hidden and undeveloped
to pay all the debts and all the war
sauanderings of all the nations, am
ounting to hundreds of millions Of
dollars.
There is wealth and peace on these
high lands, for all the suffering of
the earth, and opportunity for all the
energy and ambition pent up in great
eastern cities. 1t is the land of Won
ders, as it is the land of wealth. 1t
has the prehistoric ruins, Indian pueb-
los, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest,
and. what no other states or nation
can claim, the worlds greatest Won
der, the Grand Canyon, and you will
think thereafter in a world of larger
dimensions.

WINSLOW DOCTOR HURT
BY HIT-AND- RUN AUTO

Struck down early Monday evening
by a hit-and-run motorist, DR.. Geo.
P. Sampson, pioneer resident and
physician of Winslow, was badly in
jured, and while his condition was
such as to permit his being removed
to g hospital at Albuquerque Wednes-
day morning, his advanced age
makes his condition uncertain, in the
opinion of attending physicians and
his friends.
The full extent of DIR. Simpsons
injuries is not known. His entire left
side is bruised, and he sustained sey-
eral cuts. Although pain in the in
jured member made thorough exam
ination impossible, it is considered
probable that the left leg is splint-
cred at some point below the knee,
possibly in the ankle. At his home
Tuesday evening DR.. Sampson COM
planned continually of extreme pain
in the injured leg, but it was consid-
cred the better course to put off COM
plete examination until the doctors
arrival at the New Mexico hospital.
There is also possibility of internal
injuries.
Local police have not as yet found
any clue on which to base an arrest
or investigation in connection with
the case.
Later reports from Albuquerque
say Dr.. Sampson sustained frac-
tured limb.

MUST REPEAL GAME
LAW TO MEET NEEDS

No material progress can be made
in working out solution of the
game problems of the state until the
game code repeater, which was de-
feated in the recent general election,
is passed, according to an opinion
formulated last night at a meeting cf
the Tucson Game Protective associa-
ton, one of the locals which comprise
the Arizona State Game Protective
association. The Tucson local is rec
ommending to the state body that
they again designate the game code
repeater as their major policy and
again carry the matter to the voters
OF the state.
The measure lost in the last cleo
tion because of lack of knowledge
regarding its purpose, an officer Of
the association stated. Where active
campaigns Of education were conduct
ed, good majorities were given the
measure, it was pointed out.
Discussion of the game repeater
was the chief topic of meeting of
the association held last night in the
Forest Service office.
Herbert C. Chambers, city council
man and active worker in game mat
ters, was elected president for the
coming year, succeeding f. E. A.
Kimball. Fred Winn, forest super
visor, was reelected vice-president,
and George Hawk was reelected sec
retary-treasurer.
One proposal which has been made,
since the defeat of the game code re-
pealer, is that the state legislature
go ahead and draw up game code,
which can be submitted to the people
at the next election. While this would

STOLEN CAR is MYSTERY
TO MESA OFFICIALS

City Marshal Howard Peterson has
a mystery Chevrolet" in custody. He
knows that it was stolen and even has
the thieves in jail, but the mysterious
feature Of the case is the owners
identity.
This particular coach was stolen
twice right in Mesa, by the same par
ties, before it fell into official hands.
Evidently the owner went on about
his business without even asking the
officers to help him search for it. 1t
is believed that he is a travelling man
from the coast, since the Chevrolet
carries a California license and he
once put up at local hotel.

WHO Towns IT?

Should the job of treasurer Of this city ana
county be worth more to its occupant than IS the
presidency of the United States to Calvin Coohdge!
DO YOU believe that the service he renders no
matter how we'll and faithfully performed, is worth
ten times as much as that Of United STATES 0eua-
tor and twelve times that Of a Federal Judge!
nv the help of the Barrett law 1t happens that
the treasurer gets about this compensation through
a provision under which he keeps the interest on
funds paid on public improvements under speclal as
sessments in the city of Indianapolis
The service he performs is to put these funds IN
. bank and supervise the bookkeeping
Not so very much work and not great deal
Of responsibility.
The citv council has before It resolution which
atempts to collect the interest on these funds LOT
the use of the entire city.
Four members of the council have taken stand
against this resolution They are voting to keep up
the present system Of permitting the treasurer to
take This interest as a part of his income from the
job.
They should in all fairness tell the people who
nav into these funds just why they believe the
treasurer should draw interest on their money
That fund, instead of being benefit to the tax
payers, really becomes menace
It makes the one job very attractive to closely
knit political machine such as operates in this city.
It offers too many opportunities for a skillful
political master.
The councilmen who blocking the effort to
make this interest estimated at $4,000 year, the
property Of the people really should tell the people
who owns this interest.
Perhaps one of them can find real reason for
giving it to the man who merely deposits other peo-
pies money in a good safe bank. And perhaps not.

A LEG FOR MONEY

Three human legs have been offered one James
Tatom, Al who, losing leg in railroad acct
dent broadcast his plea for one to be grated
upon the legess stump
How much will you pay?" runs the tenor of
each letter from the three who would their own
limbs to give to this
If one but knew the tragedy that turks behind
the masks that each of these three wear What
grim reality Of life fearful that for yellow gold,
they would part with warm living, pusing, flesh and
blood itself?
Desperate indeed is a human being who will
fight down that fercest of all human instincts self
preservation, and willfully mutilate the body
for gold!
Love Of others be the only answer-a child
crying for food education, a mother hungering
for little taste of luxury after barren life.
This is the reason that has made through
out the whole epic of life stamp down the fierce
instinct of sefpreservation and mount to higher
things on an even more gigantic instinct-love.

ANTIQUES

There once was a maiden who
early in life, just craved Tor the
time when she'd be some mans
wife. She dreamed OF the man whom
she knew she would get-and started
a hope chest so she'd be all set.
A little Of that and a little of this
were saved, as the things that would
help married bliss. Thought she.
twill surprise him, when I come TO
bat, with nearly enough things to
furnish a fiat.
The years wore along and the
men came and went, but never, 1t
seemed, did she meet the right gent.
To marriage the roadway was never
quite paved, for no man seemed
worth all the things she had saved.
And then came the time when the
end Of her rope was reached cause
she lost all her wedding bells hope.
But that didn't fret her, or bring
on the tears like all Of the things
that she's saved up for years.
Her love dream was blighted. II
passed on Its way. She opened a
little antique store one day. And
how did she do it? You'd never
have guessed-with things that she'd
put in her little hope chest
