Belts Is Logical
Man For Congress
Says C. E. Blaine


tain any real benefits in the matter
of legislation, declared Charles E.
Blaine, Phoenix traffic expert, in
speaking of the coming primary cleo
ton for the choice of a Democratic
candidate.
The candidate chosen, he said,
must know Arizona, and he must be
a man known without the state.
''Amos A. Belts is such a man."
Mr.. Blaine said. "He knows Ari-
zona and her needs, better probably
than any other candidate for the Of
flee because of his intimate knowl-
edge, as a member of the Arizona
Corporation Commission for the past
ten years, of the big problems con-
fronting the state.
"That Mr. Belts is well known
without the state is evidenced by the
fact that in all the big rate cases
in which Arizona has participated
with other states, Mr.. Belts has
been chosen time after time as the
chairman of the committees select
ed by the states involved to carry
on their campaigns.
'Due to his many trips to Wash
ington in the interests of Arizona,
Mr.. Belts has formed personal con-
facts and acquaintances with men
from all parts of the nation who
represent their various states in the
national capital.
"He is personally acquainted with
the senators and representatives of
practically all of the western states
and with many of the eastern states.
His advent into the congressional
halls, as the representative of Ari-
zona, would be much different than
that of a man not known to the rep
resentatives of the other states.
"The advantage to Arizona in
sending a man, nationally known as
Mr. Belts is to congress, would, in
my opinion, be more effective than
any other step the citizens of the
state could take at this critical stage
of the states history.
"Mr Belts has a knowledge of
the affairs in Arizona and knows
the needs of the state better than
most of the men of the state, and
he has a better knowledge of the
rate needs of the state than does
any other citizen of Arizona.
''The citizens of Arizona will
make no mistake in sending him to
Congress as their representative.

He Has Saved Millions
For This State

The people of Arizona are richer
by millions of dollars because of
the ability and tireIess energies of
Amos A. Belts in fighting our fight
against the keenest lawyers and
traffic officials that money could
employ.
AS Corporation Commissioner,
Belts has served Arizona ably and
conscientiouSIy.
In Congress, his splendid training
will equip him to serve the state to
bigger and better advantage.
Belts is competent.
He has proven both his ability
and his zeal in working for the peo-
pie of Arizona.
His splendid record of service
merits his being given a broader
opportunity to expand that service.

experience?

SEE INDIAN SUN DANCE

The following interesting descrip-
ton of the famous Indian Sun Dance
was given by Mrs. ]. A. Burkman in
recent letter written from Black
foot, Idaho where she and Mr.. Burk-
man have been spending their sum
mer vacation:
"One evening last week we went
to see an Indian Sun Dance. About
seventy Indians were dancing around
a sacred tree to the music OF TOM
toms ard the singing of squaws.
They were stripped to the waist and
their bodies gorgeously painted.
Each had whistle which sounded at
regular intervals. They danced three
days and nights without food or
water. Of course many fell from ex-
haustion before the end of the dance:
lat the close, medicine men revived
them by giving very small quantities
of water. The whole thing ended in
Ia big feast and the Indians returned
to their homes feeling confident that
the Sun would give them health,
jcrops, ETC., for another year"
: Mrs. Burknan says their vacation
lis about over and that she and Mr..
Burknan will start for Washington
August IA. They will teach this
year in Memo, Washington.

OFFICIALS HERE TO
INSPECT YAKIMA ROAD

A delegation of Yakima men, includ-
ing the three county commissioners,
the county engineer, the president and
secretary of the Yakima Chamber Of
Commerce and other members of that
organization, made up a party of ten
or dozen men that were visiting in
White Bluffs Tuesday. The purpose
of the visit was to gather information
on the advisability of Yakima county
continuing the improvement of the
highway in Yakima county connecting
up with the one from this valley, to
the end that first class highway be-
tween the two points will eventually
be built
A number of the local business men
took luncheon with the party at the
Commercial hotel and urged that be-
cause of the growing business rela-
tons between this valley and Yakima,
a good highway was becoming more
necessary every day.
The resolution for expending
approximately $4,000 on the Cold
Creek Yakima county line road was
passed by the Benton county commits
sioners Tuesday afternoon. 1lle
resolution now goes to the state high
way department and if there is no OBJ
lection from that quarter it is expect
ed that bids will be called for build
ing this seven and half mile
stretch within thirty days. Fred
Gilh,,ly, D. S. Wilkinson, H. E. Robin
son and M. M. Wiehl attended the
commissioners meeting in Prosser
