WASHINGTON GIRL SEVERELY INJURED Run Down by Auto and Taken
 to Hospital Unconscious UNLICENSED DRIVER HELD Garbage Question Up Again--Court Fines Four Drivcrs-Buiiding Cor poration Working For Town Meeting-Other Items.
UNLICENSED DRIVER HELD

Another accident, the third In as many days to happen in Kensing- ton, occurred last evening at o'clock when a car operated by Mrs Madeleine Sandberg of Kensington ran down and severely injured Miss Yadvega Cholkowski, also of Ken sington. Miss Cholkowski suffered severe bruises and abrasions and it was thought by Dr. A. J. Goodwin, who was called to the scene, that there was a possibility of fractured ! skull. The injured girl was uncon- scious fo! some time and was taken to the New Britain General hospital where she regained consciousness. The extent of her injuries Is not yet fully known as an X-ray is planned which will decide whether she has a fractured skull. Miss Cholkowski passed a fairly comfortable night at the New Britain institution and ap- peared much stronger when she awoke this morning.
 The accident occurred near the American Paper Goods Co.,, plant when Miss Chokowski alighted from a Kensington bus. Thomas Hesler of New Britain, who was piloting the vehicle, stated that the injured girl had crossed in front of the bus and started across the road. At that time, Hesler stated, Mrs. Sandbergs car struck the girl, going at fairly high rate of speed. Officer Frank Brown answered call to tha scene of the accident and placed Mrs. Sandberg under arrest on the charge of operating a car without license. She will be tried before Judge Gris- wold next Tuesday night.
 Miss Chalkowski is an employee of Landers, Frary & Clark in New Britain and Is we'll known in this vicinity. Her many friends are giv- ing her every wish for speedy re- covery from the mishap.
 Garbage Question
 Dr. Roger Nj. Griswold, health of fcer, stated today that the old gar- bage question which refers to the practice of New Britain dumping their surplus garbage on Berlin property, IS quiet at the present time, due to constant vigilance on the part of the health officials. There has been no change in the methods used by the Hardware City in disposing of it's garbage, the city spreading the surplus over several neighboring towns including Bristol, Plainville, Newington and Berlin. 1 Bristol and Newington have recent ly complained that the burden of the garbage from New Britain is an | unjust one, as none of the towns mentioned are in a position to keep on indefinitely accepting the larger citys garbage. Dr. Griswold stated that although there had been no | complaints recently from residents in this place as to the promisuous disposal of New Britain's garbage, the question still ranks high in the problems confronting town officials today.

ANOTHER COMMITTEE

Governor Hunt has appointed committee of
seven to represent Arizona at Washington in con-
nection with the proposed construction Of dam
at Boulder canyon, against which the committee
will protest The committee is composed of Ceve
w. Van Dyke, A. G. McGregor, Thomas Maddox,
sF. "A Reid, III. r. McCluskey,s Harlow Akers and
Fred Golfer
What the serial number of this committee is
is not known but it is the latest of large num-
Der, all of which have been called the ''Hunt COM
nittee" The last one nherits, unfortunately, all
of the animosities which have been caused by or
visited upon former ones and 1T might perform
real service IN the premises by reassurlng the ma
tional government that the governors threats to
prevent bv force the consummation of any plans
in which the state did not concur, are merely the
bo1nbast of "het up" governor with political ann
bitions 1t should let it be known, upon its ar
rival at Washington, that it does not come as
ambassador from principalty claiming inde-
pendence, to a court which it considers alien It's
members would improve the impression 1t makes
by not attacking "bureaucrats" which they may
encounter by chance in the streets and hotel lob
bies, the dumping into" the minlons of Whom IN
the Arizona capital recently SO worked upon the
governors feelings that he was moved to address
his forty-Seven colleagues.
Some members of this committee, we believe,
will mind their manners while in the CAPITAL but
of others we are not so sure. There's FREQ Col
ter for instance, the champion of the High Line
canal We shudder to thing of what the conse-
quences might be if some Washington hotel clerk,
being short of rooms might try to confine the
Arizona high-liner with some bureaucratic high
binder
There is no use in denying the fact that Ari-
zona's chances for fair consideration in the mat
ter Of improving the Colorado river have been
icopardized by the governors childish abuse Of
federal officials, in fact of all who have not
agreed with him in every particular, and if this
committee should do nothing to aggravate the
feeling in Washington. that this states course has
been shaped in some degree by pure obstreper-
BUSINESS. it will have accomplished something; but
it can do something positive if it can dissipate
the effect of Mr. Hunts abusiveness.-Tu Tucson

HOME MONEY FERTILIZES HOME FIELD

That's the way to put over new hOteL lnanks
to the able management and pushing spirit OF l.
B. Koch general manager of the hotel campaign
and Dr. A. ]. Mackey, general sales man.
ager, ground will be broken by June first for
modern four story fireproof hotel to cost approx
inately S275, 900. The chief construction mana
ger for the H. L. Stevens. company will come to
Flagstaff next Monday to prepare the way Tor
the new building. Considering the fact that the
actual subscription campaign was started May
10th and wound up last Monday night with over
100000 subscribed and still more coming IN, we
are constrained to call it some strenuous feat.
The popularity of the hotel project IS shown Dy
the fact that there are over $50 subscribers TO
the fund The subscribers not only believe that
the hotel is needed but believe thoroughly that
it will be paying proposition from the very
start. The sales organization was wonder
working bunch of men and women and they DEM
onstrated most effectively what can be done for
"the old home town" when the people get togeth-
er with the right community SPORT. This Will not
be the last campaign of the kind for the good OF
Flagstaff and the this kind of spirit IS used
the more it grows. The Suns prediction that
Flagstaff will be city of 10000 by 1880 viii un-
doubtedy come true. The progressive spirit re-
Gently awakened will carry on.
The new hotel is the third progressive commun-
ity victory for the people of Flagstaff within the
past year. One prominent citizen SAID after VII.

the hotel proposition had not gone over big, this
Campaign has developed community spirit which

ARE PARTY REIGNs TAINTED?

The grand chorus demanding change in the
state administration for Arizona has been grow
ING rapidly the past year or more There are three
principal reasons for this clamor for change.
A great many believe that Arizona would pro-
gress faster under new regime. There IS an
other group who believe Arizona has gotten into
a deep rut and that fresh brains might be benefl-
cial. also wipe out the stains of past misunder-
standings with congress and the world at large.
Then there is the last and least reason Of E, the
"outs' who want to get in. Governor Hunt
has been honored by the people of the state five
times by being elected to that office. He IS ask
ing for a sixth term under conditions which look
very much like an unholy alliance. Politicians OF
both parties are claiming that there is an unholy
political alliance. A great many just ordinary
voters have come to the conclusion that there
must be truth in the charge Of course, chose
holding positions under the present admlnistra-
ton do not care particularly whether It Is true or
not SO long as their jobs are safe, but the rank
and file of the two major parties are not 50 cas-
lily satisfied. They will probably demand more
explicit information as to political appointments,
pro and con, before they will again be dutlfully
guided by party relgns

FRANKLY. WE WERE
DISAPPOINTED
Tucson Starr

When Dwight B. Heard declined to
be the republican candidate for gov
ernor, he wrote:
Frankly, in my desire to help free
Arizona from the obstructive grip of
Governor Hunt |. will not be placed
in position where, as a republican
candidate, / might be expected to sup
port Senator Cameron under the call
of party regularity. Such action on
my part would be tacit approval of
the Hunt Cameron alliance, of which
there are many and increasing indi-
cations"
To Mr.. Heard's letter, Governor G.
w. p. Hunt replied at length, but he
did not answer or deny the specific
charge that there is Hunt Cameron
alliance.
A few weeks ago The Star raised
the same question in an editorial to
which the governor replied, but in
that letter also, he did not say speci-
fically, "There is no Hunt Cameron
alliance, directly or indirectly"
Why? There is only one reason
that he does not say it specifically:
He probably cannot truthfully say it,
for there seems to be some sort OF
a Hunt Cameron alliance. There is
evidence of such an alliance at every
political corner. Mr.. Cameron has de-
MED such an alliance, but denials and
promises are one form of Mr.. Cam
eron's politics.
Mr.. Hunt, in his letter to Mr..
Heard, says he doesn't care about
many things; he says it is none of his
business who Mr.. Heard fights OF
how he fights; he resents imputations
and charges but he does not directly
deny that such charges are true. Mr..
Hunt rather, drags Mr.. Heard's rec
ord of the past few years into the
limelight, pointing here and there to
what he considers a flaw or an IN
consistency.
The Star is democratic paper. but
it does not put its democracy above
truth and fair play; without the lat
ter. the former would be weak.
If Mr.. Hunt had written Mr.. Heard
as follows:
"Sir, resent your imputations and
charges. They are wholly untrue. AS
YOU are out of the race for the gov
ernorship, we have no quarrel, one
with the other"
the governors letter would have
.been more convincing and more worth
while. As it was, it said little and
admitted much; its wordiness was
camouflage, its silence was an adnis-
sion and evasion of the charges.
Frankly, we were disappointed in

SIFTED INTERESTS
(Nogales Herald)

If there is as much booze as they
say there is, and as much crime as
they saw there is, and if booze causes
crime, how can they be right IN want
ing more Prohibition as now constr
tuted? On the other hand, If there
lis as much dryness as they say there
is. and less crime than there was be-
fore Prohibition took effect national
ly, how can they be wrong in wanting
more enforcement of the law?
Prohibition amounts to the PROPOSE
ton that the stronger the law the
weaker the liquor, and the weaker the
law the stronger the liquor. Il the
country could sift out all those who
want liquor because they want it, and
ali those who do not want liquor be-
cause they don't want it themselves
and don't want the other fellow to
have It either, the rest of the people
might be able to settle these problems
of crime, delinquency and other Ills
that are charged to Prohibition or the
lack Of il. There is as much personal
interest in the personal liberty plea
as there is impersonal zeal in the cry
for restriction. The whole question
is too great a political paradox and
moral conundrum for one editor OF
one editorial to settle.

tional Editorial association to the
state, on their return from their an
nual convention on the Pacific coast
The plan is to appeal to the mem
bers who will go through the state on
a special train over the Santa Fe,
stopping for day on June %, at the
Grand Canyon, to tcome back and
spend few days in Arizona, after
the convention is over.
The priceless publicity that Arizona
would get to have those thousands of
editors from all over the United
States stop over and see some of Ari-
zona, would be worth the effort of
every citizen in the state to get them
to give us the once over.
For instance the special would go
through Winslow sometime during the
early hours of the morning of the
28th as they are due to arrive at
Grand Canyon at 500 a, m. They
wouldn't even know that Winslow or
Flagstaff or other towns on the San
ia Fe in Arizona, are even on the
map. But, let them spend even few
hours in looking over the many Won
ders we have here, among them the
Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest,
our vast timber forests and the Nav
aio and Hopi Indian country and
they will leave this section of the
state with far different impression
of our desert" Central and South
efn Arizona would offer different at
fractions in the way of mining and
agriculture.

the editors arrange to see our state,

REMARKS OF THE GANG

the publicity will include the actual
and potential resources Of the entire
state. 1t would be unfair even to all
lot the number of inches of advertise
ments on the basis of taxation, and
before any definite movement is start
ed the various counties should get to-
gether and decide an equitable dis
tribution of the funds proposed to be
raised by the individual taxation PLAN
There isn't any logical argument
against community or state advertis-
ing, but nevertheless there will be
plenty of opposition to any plan adj
vanced to raise funds for this pur-
pose through state machinery. There
will be nonresident property owners,
"moss-backs" and other out-of-date
residents who still believe that adver-
tising does not pay; and great hol-
Ter will arise from them if the legis-
lature is asked to raise the publicity
funds through taxation. Then there
will be those who believe in adver-
tising but who will hesitate to support
the plan because it was conceived In
Phoenix. Cochise county will pay all
most as much of the special tax as
Maricopa county, but it is doubtful If
it would receive proportional bene,
fits, although iudicious expenditure
of the money certainly would bring
an appreciable return of the money
spent. 1t is a good idea, as we said
before, but there are so many things
to be considered that we are not in
favor Of taking any definite action
until the plan has been thoroughly
discussed and every section of the
state satisfied.

GOSSIPER SEES LITTLE GOOD
AND ROOTS IN THE MIRE
lHolhrools Trihnnel

We flatter ourselves that we are
doing great things making the world
go around and bringing great events
to pass But the fact is the best of
us are barely managing to keep up
with the procession of epochs, the
normal succession of events.
In the beginning God gave man do
minion over all things-that is He
gave him the spirit that will enable
him to dominate all things in time.
This is no demon spirit, although all
powerful, that could, if it would,
wreak destruction throughout the
realm of nature and of life.
Yet some men and some women
seem to be animated by spirit of
negation, void of the spirit of pro-
gress which is the spirit of good, and
apparently ignorant of their condi-
ton. Their sole purpose in life seems
to be to tear down, to destroy, to
commit social murder. Their necks re-
semble a joint of rubber hose and
their nose is cultivated to detect ev-
'ery questionable odor except that OF
their own foul mouth.
They become more of a pest to hui
manity than the .scavenger fly-and
far more dangerous because it is a
crime to kill them. They become
blood-hunting social sewage and ev-
entually become outcasts because all
decent men and women detest them
Gossipers enjoy cultivating a social
leprosy that usually tags themselves
The world moves. The spirit of good
becomes more dominant because most
men and women have troubles enough
of their own, and have no time nor
taste for roofing in the mire Of 9TH
ers.
