THEY MUST BE WATCHED

The Saturday Evening Post, which
by the way, in its policy always stands
for real Anlericanism, recently editori-
ally outlined no less than ten move
ments, now under way in the United
States, backed by minority groups
and having for their purpose results
not in line with the best interests of
the people Of the United States.
These movements outlined were brief
~ as follows:
To abandon our citizens and permit
the confiscation of their property in
Mexico.
To withdraw from the Philippines
and abandon our constructive program
there.
TO withdraw from Nicaragua and
set up a government unfriendly to the
United States.
To permit any of the southern re-
publics to develop revolution and chaos
regardless Of our interest in the Pan
ANA Canal.
To get out Of China and leave
Americans TO their fate.
To get into Russia and let down the
bars to their propagandists.
To kill our immigration laws and
give US a flood of undesirable imrl1i-
grants.

RIVER CONFERENCES

Interest has been noticeably quickened during
the past few years in the inland waterways of the
country. This interest has been added to recently
by the tremendous floods which are causing so
much devastation along the Mississippi.
1t is the general opinion of most Americans that
our inland waterways ought to be developed as
rapidly as is practicable and consistent with the
economic progress of the country. It is concev-
able that barge lines on the Mississippi and its
tributaries will add great deal to the prosperity
and development of the Americans living in the
Mississippi Valley which has been aptly called
one of the garden spots of the world And it is
also admitted that something will have to be done
to prevent if possible, a recurrence of the great
flood disasters of the present year.
AS one evidence Of this belief, waterways con-
ference is to be held in Chicago on June 2, 8 and
4, under the auspices of Mayor Thompson, of Chi
cago, Mayor Miller of st. Louis and Mayor O'Keefe
of New Orleans. At this meeting it is expected
that number of experts will be present and that
the river problem will be gone in great detail
and the effort started toward its solution It is
expected that Secretary of Labor James j. Davis
viii be there to represent the national admins
tration
Cheaper freight rates form one of the CRYING
necessities of the farmers and shippers of the
Middle West and if river improvement can help
bring these rates about it ought to receive real
encouragement. The development of the rivers
will not injure the railroads, it is believed but
will IN the long run help them.

SYNTHETIC LUMBER

The use of steam to explode wood chips into
fiber is the ingenious process at the basis of a
new method for producing synthetic lumber from
sawmill waste Specimens showing stages in the
manufacture of the new product are now on ex-
hibition in the National Museum under the Smith
sonan Institution. This development promises to
eliminate waste in wood which has in the past
run into inealculable sums.
The fundamental process consists in subjecting
chips of uniform size to steam pressure of 800
pounds for or 5 seconds. Then by an instan-
taneous release of the pressure the chips are made
to explode into millions of fibers. To form boards
the exploded fiber is refined passed over four
drinier similar to paper machine and placed in
a press Almost any desired degree of hardness
may be secured by simply varying the pressure
No glue or other artificial binder is required to
consolidate the fiber. The product is all wood it
has a tensile strength of from 1000 to 5000
pounds per square inch it is knotless of very light
weight, and good insulator. The uses for which
it is said to have already proved satisfactory in
clude desk tops, card tables, radio panels, wall
board panelling and insulaton.-Ex.

Arizona upon the present basis Of
congressional appropriations is APP
proximately $780, 100000, which is
available for use on approved federal
aid projects in the proportion of 1894
per cent federal funds to 27.66 per
cent state funds
In view OF the numerous requests
presented to the members Of the legis-
lature by various state departments
for increased appropriations over and
above the amount contained in the
budget, and in view of the fact that it
is very difficult for the members of
the legislature during the compara-
lively brief time that this body is in
session to familiarize themselves thor
oughly with the needs and activities
of all the various state offices, de-
partments and institutions, the men,
bers of the eighth legislature are to
be commended upon having achieved
a considerable saving over the amount
requested for the next two fiscal
years. In view of the high cost of
government and the steadily increas-
ing tax burden, which is bearing down
with greater and greater weight upon
agriculture, industry and commerce, it
is to be hoped that the members Of
the legislature will, lin the event they
are reconvened, continue to adhere to
the policy that a substantial reduc-
tion in expenditures wherever possi-
Bile, consistent with efficiency, must
be put in effect"

SUMMA. CUM LAUDE
(Tucson Citizenl

(IucSon IltlZenl
The Taxpayers Magazine publishes
comparative statement as between
all appropriations made by the seventh
legislature, for the fiscal years 1926
2 6and 1926-27, and the appropriations
made by the eighth legislature for the
fiscal years 1927-1928 and 1928-1929
and says that the eighth legislature
is to be commended for the consider
able saving which it achieved, after a
dramatic struggle with the executive
power.
The comparative statement covers
several pages of the magazine and is
too long for reproduction here, for
the magazines Interpretation of the
statement is interesting and illuminat-
ing:
1T will be noted that the total APP
preparation for the current fiscal BIZ
ennium ending June 80, 1927, were
$13,553, ,931.07, while the appropria-
tions made by the legislature during
the session which has just been com
pleted for the next two fiscal wears
total S13, 1873, ,41199, or a reduction Of
$365, ,519.08 from the amount appro-
priated for the current fiscal bien-
mum.
'EIt should be understood in any con-
sideration of the comparative state
ment Of appropriations for these two
periods that the eighth legislature
made no general appropriation for the
operation of the state highway de-
partment. A highway department bill
was passed but was vetoed by the
governor, and the legislature sustained
the governors veto. However, spe-
cific appropriations for various road
building projects and bridges in vari-
GUS parts of the state were made by
the legislature, the aggregate Of such
appropriations being 1895, 100000.
"In addition to the special road and
bridge appropriations passed by the
eighth legislature, the auto license
tax funds Of approximately $780,
10000 per annum will become avail
able to the maintenance fund of the
highway department, and if it is
found to be fact that the ten cent
state road tax, the gasoline tax and
the motor vehicle mill tax, do not
cease when the amount
Of 81 $50, 100000, mentioned in the
1928 highway bill, has been paid into
the 25 per cent road fund, then there
will be derived from these sources
over million dollars an
nually for the highway department
that has not been included in the
5abulation given in this magazine.
"As the highway situation now
stands the legislature did not make
any specific appropriations to pay the
obligation of the highway
or for matching federal
nd funds.

EASY MONEY

A farm journal headline says Farmers Want
More Money What we can't understand is why
just pick on the farmers?
We note that state funds have been running Sc
low that hlghwaymen have mandamused the state
treasurer for road money
Every road and road-house needs more money.
The people at large need more money The
CoconlnO Sun needs more money-eVen if it is
only paid on account
There is q fool notion used by politicians with
great effect, that II Secretary of the Treasury
Andy Mellon would only issue more money the
people would have it in plenty
Too many forget the efforts along that line
made by Mexico, Russia and few other countries
which endeavored to fool the people by printing
so-caled paper money overtime.
The great trouble is that United States money
has always been backed up by the goods and
means value in gold, goods or work, until our
folks have got the notion that money" all over
the world just means money" the kind the
United States provides and insists on They do
not realize that our q. S. money is always backed
by "the goods. If the government is no good its
money is no good. No better than the check of
funds.
Money" is only another word for the moral
obligation of the people of the country 1t is only
promise that the laborer In one field will return
labor in another field at a fair rate of exchange
The United States may eventually bust up in busi-
ness merely from the fact that our folks are be-
ginning to get the idea that because "our money
has always been good they can see no reason why
we shouldn't issue more money and let all hands
rest and enjoy themselves
1t is easy for politician who wants office to
introduce appropriation bills for millions and mil
lions for his home district. It is a most popular
political sport. What does he care so long as he
bulls" the voter. If he "gets by" the voter has
to pay the freight anyhow. Never no never tell
the voter he can't have what he thinks he wants

needed change Of climate) let them 90

advise this for the purpose Of keeping
our money in the state, though that
would be one good reason, but because
one can buy more vacation for his
money in Arizona than he can any
where else in the country. Better air,
more scenery, better fishing and more
restfulness.

Smoki dance And while there. one

couple Of weeks until Prescott will put
on its countrywide famous Frontier
Days which people all over the coun-
try find it worth while for them to
come and see. Millions Of people
throughout the United States and
abroad, catch glimpes of Frontier
Days from the news reels of the
movies
After that let the restless of Ari-
zona move on to Flagstaff, the Grand
Canyon, the Painted Desert There
the time may be easily and delight
fully put in until the season Of the
Hopi Snake Dance when it will be
time to be thinking of coming home.

districts Of Cochise and Graham

borne to mention the great American
play ground in the White Mountains.

a stronger pride in Arizona and will,

AN EDITOR TELLS HIS TROUBLES

most valued readers reminding that that their
subscriptions were in arrears and gently limiting
that an early remittance would be appreciated.
Five of them promptly paid up. One replied that
he would pay next week" but he died the fol-
lowing Saturday. Another said he would pay "the
next time he saw u.s." He went blind. And yet
another telephoned that he would run down and
pay some time" He has rheumatism now and
can't even walk. The ninth said he would "see US
in h-ll first" He got religion that night and will
not be able to keep the appointment.

the list because it seems "sortel natural to see it

A LARGO Wosouito Story

The man from New Jersey was tell
ing the Utah man that the mosquitoes
in Utah were as nothing compared
with the ones back east. In the end
he made d bet that he could take off
his shirt and let the Utah pests bite
him for ten minutes without even tax
ing slap at them.
At the end Of nine minutes the Utah
man saw good chance to lose the bet
for, although the New Jersey man was
covered with mosquitoes he hadn't even
quiverod Something must be done
Picking up a burning glass the Utah
man threw its rays on the New Jer-
sey mans back. The man from the
east gave a yell and smacked with
his hands
'"There's one from home" he yelled,
as he paid the bet.

Arthur Brisbane suggests the presi-

city, Dallas, or Los Angeles.
But one of Mr.. Coolidge's strong
points is an Indifference, or at least an
apparent Indifference, to votes.
He has the record Of never having
lost an election, but he appears not to
care whether people vote for him or
not. So far as the next presidential
term is concerned, this attitude of his
probably is entirely sinceref
We seldom have had president
who showed less disposition to culti-
vate votes than Mr. Coolidge. His

APPEAL TO CAMPERS
(Tucson Citizen)

Spare wild flowers, shrubs and
trees; they have made the place
pleasant for you-leave them for 9TH
ers to enjoy. Don't make campfire
in the leaves or rotten wood or against
a log where it may spread. Don't
make fire too close to a tree. Don't
toss away burning matches or tobac-
co. Always scrape Coward the fire.
trench around your campfire, down
to dirt. Always leave a clean camp
and dead fire.
Some fires come from lightning and
from unpreventable causes; but about
80 per cent or more are from sheer
carelessness.

LEES FERRY BRIDGE BIDS

There is a great deal Of anxiety expressed as
to the outcome of the bids on the Lees Ferry
bridge was 1885, 900. The lowest bid for WOODEN
floor was S310,684. This with an added over
head charge of $4,000 already assessed against
the project, brings the cost to over S41 684 more
than the state and federal appropriations. For a
concrete floor the cost would be S54 290 over the
appropriations. State Engineer Lefebvre says
that no action will be taken on the bids for about
twenty days. The question is whether or not the
specifications can ont be modified or whether the
additional amount can be raised. There is reason
to believe that congress could be induced to raise
their appropriation to cover the deficit, when it
meets in December

TELL IT TO THE POLICE

The Tucson Star advises their home readers to
tell the police when leaving Tucson. While the

ble However, it would seem more simpified if
the immigrant secured clearance papers from the
superior judge. We are sorry the Star started the
argument as to whether the citizen might be
robbed more at home than abroad as tourist.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

To cancel the war debts.
To substitute pink tea socialism for

To hamstring our army and navy in
