Equality of Woman in Brains
Declared to Be Already Proven

times didn't equal or surpass some OF
DIR. Johnson's sourest reflections upon
the same elegant theme"
considerations of mere size or
avoirdupois,' it is pointed out by the
Boston Transcript. have long since
been set aside in estimates of human
efficiency. Otherwise the fat lady In
the circus side show would be a
greater power in the world than Napo-
leon Bonaparte. 1t may we'll be that
it is thus with brains. In any case,
no reason exists in relative brain
weight for relegating woman to an
inferior political or social position.
And, for that matter, it would be in
operative in a world in which woman
has already attained a position CT
equality"
"Most women have known all
along" says the Kansas City Post.
that they were at least as intelligent
as men. but being exceedingly practi-
cal they have been willing to keep
their knowledge secret, satisfied to get
what they wanted at the cost of per-
mitting husbands. fathers, and broth
ers to bask in their ridiculous faith in
maculine superiority. Women
have always known that they are the
mental equals of men. especially in
practical affairs. and it will do them
no good to have it announced. Once
the men become convinced of this fact,
they will be on their guard, thereby
making it harder for a wife to per-
suade the dumbbell she has married
into forcing her to buy new fur coat.
That's the trouble with feminists.
They throw away practical victories
in order to win purely academic and
wholly Improbable arguments about
the equality of the sexes"
AS to the results of this scientific
the Des Moines Tri-
bune-C Capital concludes: THE more
their unadulterated thinking power is
granted, in comparison with men, the
less is going to be heard about that
'woman's intuition The
more of equality-or superiority-the
women are allowed to have in brains,
the less of superiority they are going
to be grandly granted in the field OF
the hokum faculty. which we call
having a hunch.' The exchange will
be good one from the standpoint Of
the women. Besides, it is a correct
one"

Reaction to Mr.. Morrow.

A few weeks ago the appointment
of Dwight p. Morrow as Ambassador
TO Mexico was announced by President
Coolidge. Mr.. Morrow was partner
in the House of Morgan, a man iden
tified with capital" big money" and
tba Interests, strongly entrenched
in the seats of the mighty. possessing
a kew which gave him access to the
star chamber within whose mysterious
walls great men are supposed TO rlee'
and decide upon the next President OF
the United States, the price of bread
or the number of Marines to be sent
TO Nicaragua. Immediately there was
a. brief but noisy fanfare of trumpets
heralding the dire things that would
happen when the name of Mr.. MORO"
was placed before the Senate. That
he would be thrown out seem granted
That he would land upon his ear
seemed certain.
Yesterday Mr.. Morrow was sworn
In, taking his oath of office as Ambas'
sador to Mexico. At the same time
the President was informed that poll
of the Senate indicates that Mr.. Nor
row will be confirmed without serious
npposition. Many Democrats are un'
Gerstood to favor the appointment
The opposition Of a few Senators IS
,pparently based upon the indisputable
fact that at the time of the selection
Mr.. Morrow was a member of the
Morgan organization, although he has
since divested himself of such connec'
ton.
President Coolidge exhibited no
small amount of political courage III
his appoinrment of Mr.. Morrow. Free
dom of oficeholders from affiliations
with capital has constituted fe-
fish reverently worshiped by the
American. More than one good man
has been denied the opportunity of
success in public life because OF his
success in private life. The increas-
ingly favorable reaction to the Nor
row appointment, however. has vlndi'
Gated the wisdom of President Cool
tdge's choice and has been an extraor-
dinary tribute to the high regard in
which Mr.. Morrow is held. From
sources which could be expected to de-
nounce the appointment as further
indication of dollar diplomacy" has
come unstinted praise for Mr.. Nor
rows abilities. The bitterest critics
of this country's Latin American pol
icy have complimented the President
upon his action. Nothing remotely
sinister is seen in the decision of Mr..
Morrow to abandon the highly remu-
nerative and respected position as
partner in the House of Morgan and
undertake the hazardous task of rep
resenting the United States in Mexico.
The only motive emphasized is aud
able desire of a capable man to serve
his country.
The country has already accepted
Mr.. Morrow at his face value and sin
cerely wishes him the same success
and honor in a more than diff ;ult
post of public trust that he attained
through his own efforts as private
individual.

Prescott Lawyers
Get Huge Court Fees

Following years of litigation, the
fee case in the Lowell estate contro-
versy was settled at Prescott Satur-
day morning when Judge Richard
Lamson awarded 100000 to the local
firm of Cornick and Cradle and an
additional $4,000 to Curtis and Curtis
of Boston, associate counsel, for their
services in fight to, sustain the will
of the late Percival Lowell, noted
astronomer, against the efforts of the
widow, Mrs. Constance S. Lowell, to
break it.
In the will, Guy Lowell, who died
recently on board ship off the coast
of Spain, was named trustee of the
fund which was provided for the
maintenance of the Lowell observatory
at Flagstaff. Mrs. Lowell immediate
ly contested the will, which had been
in litigation since 1916. The terms
of the will were sustained by Judge
J. E.. Jones Of Flagstaff and further
sustained by the supreme court OF
Arizona. This ruling assured the per-
manance of the observatory to Ari-
zona. The Lowell estate is valued at
two and half million.

Douglas, Ariz., April 16-Governor
George w. p. Hunt, six times elected

announced that he would again be a

The governor drove to Douglas
yesterday with o. S. French, formerly
of Bisbee, now connected with the
state highway department, and work
ing as chauffeur for Hunt.
"My real object in coming to Doug
las is to get the Greenway trophy to
be given at the Greenway field day In
Phoenix, the governor said.
"Then, too, / am making last IN
spection Of the roads before the legis-
lature takes them over," the governor
added with laugh. The executive
took rap at the state legislature
when questioned regarding the fric-
ton between himself and the eighth
legislature, in connection with the
state highway bill which was recently
vetoed by the governor. "They say
that they want to take the state high
way department out of politics" Hunt
said. "What they want to do is to
take it out of good, clean politics and
put it in their own dirty politics"

DOkieS to Meet AT

One of the most interesting pro-

scheduled for next week Saturday
when the Dramatic Order Knights
of Khorassan will assemble about
forty tyros and trek across the ''burn-
ing sands to the Oasis of Ell Yama-
NAH. Fifteen of the officials of the
temple at Phoenix will arrive Satur-
day morning and in the afternoon and
evening the big event will happen.
The ritualistic work will take place in
the evening, after banquet in the
Odd Fellows hall, and expectant mem
bers will have been given feed that
will fit them for the terrors of the
desert. No organization is equal in
ritualistic features to that of the
Dokies, and those who are fortunate
enough to participate in its work will
never regret the venture.
A number of the stores and busi-
ness houses of the town have agreed
to decorate their places for the oc-
casion, in view of the fact that it is
not a local affair, votaries and tyros
coming here from Williams, Flagstaff,
various towns of the county. The day
is to be gala occasion, and the peo-
pie of the town should show the

WHOM is WHOM AT THE
STATE CAPITOL

the majority members of the legisla-
ture have no organization of any kind
to function in an election; and that, II
a highway bill is passed by the legis-
lature without the emergency clause
attached, it can be submitted to a
referendum of the people if the COVER
nor signs it.
May Be Future Plan
This last statement would indicate
that the majority members of the
legislature have in mind the possibil-
ity of enacting a new highway bill
along the same lines as the one vetoed
by the governor, but without attach
ing the emergency clause to it. Such
a measure would need but simple
majority to enact, and but two
thirds vote of both houses to pass over
the governors veto, whereas an
emergency measure requires a three
fourths vote. The majority admits its
inability to muster a three-fourths
vote, but is confident it can obtain a
two-thirds vote, if necessary, and is
positive that it has a majority vote.
When the highway bill came to a
vote in the house Monday, on the mo-
tion to override the governors veto
of it, there were "a votes cast to oyer
ride. This is one short of the two
thirds that would be needed to pass a
measure without the emergency clause
over gubernatorial disapproval. How
ever, leaders of both house and senate
express confidence that an extra vote
or two can be picked up for a new
highway bill should one be enacted
without the emergency clause, declar-
ing that couple of votes went to the
administration group purposely when
it was seen that the necessary three
fourths vote could not be obtained, and
that these would "come back to the
fold" when needed.

How L. A. Treated
Owens River Valley

Charges that Los Angeles has pur-
sued a policy of ruthless destruction
and devastation" in taking water
from the Owens River Valley that
menaces the peace and welfare of the
entire state" are contained in res
olution introduced in the California
Assembly by Dan Williams, asking
the legislature to settle the conflict.
The resolution charges that Los
Angeles, through it's board of water
and power commissioners, has adopt
ed policy of ruthless destruction
of the farm and community life of
the Owens River Valley, which is
rapidly changing to rich irrigated
valley to a desert waste.
.sThis method of ranch devastation,
the measure continues, SIS destroying
the economic support of several towns
within the valley, and is bringing
utter ruin upon hundreds of business
firms and individuals who are helpless
against the circumstances which are
crushing them"
In view of these charges the reso-
luton requests that "the legislature

Owens River Valley to its former
agricultural status, or, failing in this
to effect a settlement of this contro-
versy between the board of water and
power commissioners of Los Angeles
and the remaining property owners
of the Owens River Valley, including
in this settlement proper compen-
sation for damages done to business

Dems. Want The
People to Umpire
Highway Law

Democracy in the state of Arizona
faces disintegration and disruption
because of the legislative highway
deadlock, was the statement in let
ter to Governor Hunt, Speaker A. M.
Crawford of the house, and President
Milford Winsor of the senate, made
public Monday, as written by Louis
B. Whitney, chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee.
Mr.. Whitney's letter states that un-
less some compromise in the present
situation is reached shortly, the demo-
cratic party will be held responsible
'sfor failure to enact a sound law re-
lating to financing, building and main
tenance of the state highways"
AS a recourse to the apparent un-
breakable alignment in the ranks OF
the governors forces and the. So
called majority, the democratic chair
man suggests in his letter that two
highway measures be submitted to the
state electorate within the next sixty
days for either approval or disap-
proval.
These two measures, Mr.. Whitney
suggests, would be drawn by the ma
iority and by the governors forces
respectively. He further urges Lnat
a separate bill, providing relief to the
highway department creditors be i'm
mediately drafted and passed by the
legislature with the emergency clause
| attached.
/ Regarding this proposed move, Mr.
| Whitney's letter reads: ''This sug-
gested procedure for special election
IS extensive, admit, but If some high
way legislation is not passed shortly
the damage done this state will exceed
by twenty times the expense of a spe,
/ cial election"
Should Mr.. Whitney's plan be car
ried out and both the majority's high
way measures and the one drafted BY
the administration carry, the one hav
/ ing the largest number of affirmative
votes would be adopted, as is provided
| for by the constitution.
