Arizona Democratic State Central
Committee yesterday in Phoenix:
"That the central committee rep
resenting the party demand loyalty
of all state appointees and employees
of the several departments in securing
the election of each and every NOM
inee of the party, and to further DE-
MAND THE PROMPT DISMISSAL
OF ANY APPOINTEE WHO d.
RECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, AIDS

TION OF ANY OTHERS THAN

A similar rule" has long been in
effect in Miami where employees of
the town are deprived of exercising
their free rights as citizens, but we
had little expected that the demo-
cratic party" would have the rights
as citizens as the price of political
job holding.
1t will be interesting to observe
the public's reaction to this measure
even though, perhaps, it is directed
at a certain element within the par
ty.
We predict that the citizens of Ari-
zona will not tolerate such activity.

WE SPENT MONEY IN EUROPE

The allies spent money in America during the
war but America spent a great deal in Europe
too and attention to the fact is called by Mr.. Al
bert H. Laidlaw in the current issue of the Ma
tiona Republic in "An American View of World
Events.
Much has been said by foreign newspapers and
politicians and their sundry echoes in the United
States about the amount of money spent IN the
United States by France and others of the allies
in the purchase of war supplies, Mr. Laidaw
says what the United States spent in Europe
during the war is never mentioned. The Ameri-
can government spent billion dollars In France
during the World war. 1t pal harbor charges on
vessels which carried American troops to France
Ii paid the railroads for carrying them to the
front It paid for training fields where American
soldiers were prepare for battle. 1t bought sup
plies literally in France. Two million American
soldiers spent millions of dollars in France. At
ter the war the American government sold sur
plus supplies worth more than billion dollars to
the French government for S400, 100000, no part
Of which France is required to pay until 1929.
The supplies brought, in fact, fully billion dol
lars after their purchase by spectators at a
profit to the French government. The sale of
these supplies by this government at a sacrifice
was made necessary because the French govern
ment forbade their being thrown upon the mar
lzet On the other side Of the ledger it may be
noted that Germany has offered Belgium forty
million dollars for two towns. The value in dol
lars of AlSace Lorraine to France is incalcula-
bic; yet there is never a thought of weighing the
assets acquired by France as the result of the
war against the liabilities, taking into consd-
Grafton what France might have lost by way of
territory and ndemnities except for the supplies
sold by the United States to the allied armies
before America got into the war, and the financial
and military assistance rendered during the war;"

LOOK WELL TO YOUR PAJAMAs

The Holbrook Tribune suggests that wrappers
be light to reduce mail charges publications. It
says:
Due to the raise in postal rates, care must be
exercised in mailing copies of the Holbrook Tri-
bune. If narrow wrapper is placed on the paper
it will go for two cents postage, but if the regu-
lar postoffice stamped wrappers used four
cents viii be required 1t is best to cut off about
one-third of the wrapper if it is desired to save
the extra two cents, as the additional weight
makes it just go over the 2-cent limit AS great
many papers are mailed by our subscribers, it is
well to know these facts"
It costs four to six cents to mail copy of The
Sun, very nearly the same rate that letters take.
Before the government press bureaus discovered
how much of their junk country newspapers
would publish free, much lower rate was given
newspapers Evidently postal authorities have
concluded if country newspapers would stand for
all the free applesauce sent out they would stand
for a raise in postage rates as well.

REMARKS OF THE GANG
VAN DIXIE TO McCLUSKEY TO
HUNT
(Kingman Miner.)

N4AAAlG 1AA044 A4kIlC1sJ
"Says Van Dixie to McCluskey to
Hunt" says he, "it might be well for
you to retain McCluskey on your
visiting list at least until after the
general election" So Gov. Hunt
writes to Van Dixie to McCluskey,
telling his former secretary and
mentor that in view of the fact that
there is no one on the State Indust-
rial Commission that has knowledge
of the working of such commission he
has concluded to refuse to accept
his resignation. And in turn Nc
Cluskey Van Dikes Hunt right back
again, telling George v that he
knows that there is necessity of a
man of his ability and training on
the commission, and after due con-
sideration he has concluded to ac-
cept the position, and, Of course, in
cidently, the $4,000 per year that
goes with it. In this letter McClus-
key indicates that there is not one
on the commission who is fit to hold
the office, and we rather guess
that in this particular he is quite
right. But political exigencies had to
do with the filling of the personnel
of the commission, even to the APP
pointment of Harry Tritle to the po-
sition of clerk of the commission.
From the correspondence one is lead
to believe that there is a situation
of armed neutrality between Gov.
Hunt and McCluskey and when the
time comes that either one can put
it over the other the fur will be fly
ing. At the present time McCluskey
is persona non grata with the gem
eral run of workingmen, but Hunt
appears to believe that this appoint
ment on the commission will keep
many of the labor union men in line.
There is no question that the Indust-
rial Commission is to be used to the
best advantage of the Hunt regime,
as witness the work Of Harry Tri-
tie and his associate in this county
while here a month ago on an inves-
tigation or a still hunt for Hunt vot-
ers, and Tritle's subsequent elevation
to the position of secretary of the
commission, which brings good
sized salary to the holder. No matter
if it is from Maddox to McCluskey
to Hunt or Van Dixie to McCluskey
to Hunt it all savors of the political
game that these fellows are putting
over.

CAMERON FOR BOULDER CAN
YON DAM
(Dunbar's Weekly


M. Fl. McCalla, prominent demo-
crat and former chairman of the
state democratic central committee,
certainly nailed Ralph Cameron's
hide to the fence, relative to the
senator's claim and his actual per-
formance, between which there is a
vast difference, concerning his stand
on the Colorado river.
Mr.. McCalla proved from the re-
cord that Senator Cameron appear
ed before the federal power commits
sion and openly favored the building
Of the Boulder Canyon dam, the
ratification of the Colorado river
compact by Arizona.
Mr.. McCalla quoting from the re-
cords of a meeting of the federal
power commission held in Washing
ton on April 10, 1923, proves that
Senator Cameron in his remarks to
the commission said "of course,
cannot speak for our governor and
the legislature of Arizona, but
still live in hopes that they will rat
ify the compact at an early date, and
/ believe when they understand the
situation as it has been stated by my
friend here today there will be no
reason why the legislature should
not be called together to ratify the
pact. / am going back to Arizona
today, and | shall go and see the
governor and do everything in my
power. / do not know that / have
any influence with him, but | will
do the best | can, and see if we cam
not get this pact ratified by the
state of Arizona"
It is also shown by the record that
the senator had the following to say
concerning the Boulder or Black
Canyon dam:
Boulder canyon or Black Canyon
is the place which is decided by COM
petent engineers to be the place to
build the necessary dam to take care
of the flood waters of the Colorado
river.
sI am not unmindful that Nevada
and California are equally interested
with the state of Arizona. contend
from years of experience, and from
years Of figuring with engineers,
with the largest contracting people
we nave III LIlG OulISO OIdICS, StAeAe
there is water enough to take care
of the whole situation, provided a
dam is constructed at either Boulder
or Black Canyon which will give
the necessary reservoir to retard the
water when it is up at its usual
height in the summer time, and stor-
age capacity could be obtained there
SO that everyone will get all the wa
ter that they want at all seasons of
the year, and there will be power
enough to generate from this dam
to take care of not only Arizona but
California and Nevada"
That is Ralph Cameron's record
on the Colorado river problem. He
favored the compact and came from
Washington to Arizona to urge its
ratification; desired that special
session of the legislature be called in
order that ratification be hurried.
He favored the building of the Roul-
der canyon dam.
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-08
THE SENATOR DIDN'T MENTION THIS IN
FLAGSTAFF

s While Senator Cameron did not mention the
fact that he had prevented Coconino county from
getting million dollar road from the govern
ment to Grand Canyon in Flagstaff, he said this
at Williams in his speech there:
after thanking the town of Williams for rail-
lying to the cause of saving the Bright Angel
Trail to Coconino county, the speaker briefly told
his hearers that every election pledge he had
ever made had been fulfilled and that he had per-
formed much more than he had pledged" VIII
liams News.
Nor did the senator advise the people of VIII
liams that he felt he had a better chance of get
ting control of the trail again through friend
ly'' board of supervisors than if it went to the
government. In view of results it must have
made the Williams folks laugh heartily at the
way in which Coconino county was saved.

A DEMOCRAT WANTS TO KNOW

The following telegram was sent Monday by
Ralph Gunst Tucson member of the state demo-
cratic central committee to Claude Smith, del
egate to the Phoenix convention.
"Rumore afloat, Senator Ralph Cameron in his
speech at Miami advised his hearers to vote for
Governor Hunt if the Colorado river is to be con-
served Such utterances from republican have
a tendency to make democrats wonder the rea-
SON. Some go so far as to say there may be an
alliance. For the sake of harmony in the demo-
cratic party it would be well for Gov. Hunt to
state that he is for Carl Hayden for U. S. senator
as well as the balance of the democratic ticket.
Please read at meeting"
In any event Mr.. Gunst might be advised that
Senator Cameron so far failed to mention Clarks
name in any of his speeches.

INTERNECINE POLITICS
(Dunbars Weekly

The meetings of both the demo-
cratic and republican state commits
tees were harmonious in the extreme,
everything moved with the precision
of clock work. Really there was so
much harmony that they were over
harmonious.
AS one observer was heard to
mention: "They have applied a
smooth varnish Of harmony over the
whole thing, but / would like to look
under the varnish and see what the.
real situation is"
If one could see what was in the
minds Of the delegates to each meet
ing it might cause a great deal Of
surprise.
In the republican meeting there
were cheers for Ralph Cameron who
will vote and work quietly for Carl
Hayden; cheers for E. S. Clark from
the throats of those who will quietly
cast their vote for Arizona's present
governor.
In the democratic meeting there
were cries of vote the ticket
straight" from those who never have
and never will cast a straight ballot.
Carl Hayden was applauded by state
employees who will vote for Ralph
Cameron, and men accepted respon-
sible places in the democratic man
agement who will vote for e. S.
Clark.
Politics and parties were never so
badly jumbled in Arizona as they are
today. Never were principles SO lit
tie thought of and personal ambi-
tion taken so seriously.

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE

The merchant or the manufacturer who fails
to advertise and then wonders why business isn't
as good as it used to be and why his more ener-
getic competitor is going ahead of him, ought to
take the experience of the re-Columbus discov-
cries as an example. They failed to let the world
know about what they had done, failed to push
their business an they have passed into the realm
of oblivion, to be resurTected only occasionally by
some devout historian as an unconscious exam
pie of what happens to the fellow who doesn't
carry his publicity man with him, and tell the
world what he is doing.

A GOOD PLAN
! Winslow Mail says

z WinsloW Mail says:
The plan of the Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce, made public this week, to centralize the
activities of various chambers of commerce in
northern Arizona, is a splendid one and should
meet with instant response from all cities and
towns in this section Of the state.
The Winslow Commercial club has advised the
Flagstaff Chamber that they believe their idea is
good one and will do everything in their power
to cooperate and help put over the project for the
good of northern Arizona.
Indications are that meeting will be called at
Flagstaff sometime during the early part of Oc-
tober to formulate the plan.
1t is the consensus of opinion of the Flagstaff
organization that at the present time there is far
too little understanding among the various COM
munities of the state relative to other sections
and it is felt that if Arizona whole is going
to move ahead, that something definite must be
done to increase the present knowledge of all
sections of the state
'Know Arizona First" as well as "See Arizona
First" is the keynote of the idea and Flagstaff is
ready to see this movement carried to a success
