REMARKS OF THE GANG

It was reported few weeks ago
that two persons, living on American
soil, one citizen Of this country and
one a citizen of Mexico, attempted
to smuggle machine guns into the
southern republic. When the men
were caught, so the report to The
Star went, the American citizen es-
capped while the Mexican citizen re-
ceived the death penalty. The story
may, or may not be true, but it does
show the vigilance of the Mexican
government against the Importation
of arms and ammunition. 1t is not
likely that the American who escaped
is going to broadcast his adventure;
it is certain the Mexican will tell no
tales.
AS for the reported case of Alton
so de la Huerta, the rumor might as
well be laid aside for time to divulge
the real facts if there are any to be
divulged.

WHAT MORE COULD THEY ASK?

Loading up several ships with malcontents and
radical extremists, the president Of Chile sent
them to an island in the Pacific with his good
wishes and his hopes that they might work out a
civilization to their own liking
Out there they can throw bombs, they can en-
gage in any violence or do any of the stunts which
they were carrying on in Chile.
If they object to established institutions in their
own island bailiwick it will be their right to bomb
them. Whatever is wrong in the conduct of af-
fairs, they can demoish with torch and blasting
powder.
Being of like minds, they can apply their phil
osophy of violence without challenge from those
who believe in governments, laws and established
authority It is their island, and there will be no
capitallstlc hand to wrong them or oppose them
or humiliate them.
If they believe in the torch and the Internal
machine and violence why should they not on
their own island domain pursue liberty as they
see it, and shoot up the town blow up the banks
or burn up all the temples of authority? If with
them the bomb is preferable as an instrument of
freedom to the ballot box, it will be theirs, if they
SO will, to bomb the ballot boxes. If written
constitution is the corcoction of capitalism, they
can spurn 1T or blow it into fragments and perdi-
ton with injury to enissary Of the capitalistic
class.
Out there in the Pacific, where the ocean surf
sings the song Of liberty on their own island they
can carry out their inalienable rights and every
man be vouchsafed life liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, as he sees them.-Portland, Oregon

WHAT PROBABLY WILL COME TO
PASS
prescott Courierl

n AN1NOeS OO0L4NII
The Colorado river conference at
Denver seems headed for the shoals.
Should it entirely fail, the outcome
can be forecast with accuracy. There
will be no major development by the
federal government of the great
stream, but flood control dam will
be built, and nothing more.
The trend of congressional opinion
has been to protect the reclaimed land
Of the lower reaches Of the river and
not to expend vast sum to put the
( United States into the power busi-
ness. The east and middle west are
not friendly toward plan whereby
they would be made to pay for plac-
ing great areas of land under irriga-
tion in the southwest, or anywhere
else; they feel the products of such
projects would come into competi-
ton with that which their farms
yield, and they believe the prices they
are procuring now are too low. They
do not want any more competition.
With flood control dam, serving
only to hold the overflow back, the
mighty river still would be unhar-
messed and of little use, except to
the sections which now obtain its wa
ters. Power development and satisfac-
tory storage would have to come later,
and whenever private capital could be
lured to risk the scorn of politicians
and the chance of meagre returns.
On the Pacific coast it has been found
that power can be produced from
Alaskan coal for less than it can be
transmitted from the distant Color
ado. Already millions are being ex-
pended in such undertakings. The
mines of Arizona with a few excep-
tions can provide their own power
from waste heat cheaper than it can
be sent to them from other sources.
The government has tried power own
ership at Muscle Shoals and has been
unable to see it's way out; it is sell
ing the energy of that project to a
private concern at practically no prof
it at all.
The apparent inevitable status of
the Colorado question, after the states
have failed to agree, can be laid to
no individual, or group; it will be the
result of circumstances growing out
of mass of tangled opinions, al
though it will be unfortunate for the
southwest. Many mistakes have been
made, but the blame will be diff
cult to place. A flood control dam
will put the issue into a long, long
sleep, and in the slumber the whole
section will become languid and sub
dued. Certainly, it will check the
growth of southern California as much
as it will the progress of Arizona,
but there will be small consolation in
that

OLD STUFF BUT NEW RULING
(El Paso Herald)

Arizona has a new prehistoric ex-
cavation law which promises to pro-
tect against ignorant or vandalistic
spoilation such prehistoric ruins as
happen to be on state land.
But the state law is imperative as
to ruins on government land, says DR..
Byron Cummings, acting president of
the University of Arizona and himself
one of the country's foremost archie
ologists.
The Arizona law and its effect on
scientific research were discussed at a
meeting of psychologists at Pecos,
Texas, which Dr. Cummings attended.
Excavations in prehistoric ruins in
Arizona are forbidden without a spe-
cial permit from the board of super
visors of the county in which the ruins
are located. A permit also must be
obtained from the director of the state
museum.
Archeologists well can afford to
abide by these simple regulations
They are made to protect ruins from
being the prey of ignorant souvenir
hunters or mischief makers.
1t is a partial safeguard that delivers
into ruins must obtain the consent of
the board of supervisors. Since boards
of supervisors might not be able to
judge the competency of applicants to
excavate in ruins, and might be talked
into giving permits to persuasive
speaking souvenir hunters, there is
the second safeguard; namely, that
the consent of the director of the state
museum also must be obtained and a
permit issued by him.
1t is assumed the museum director
is competent to separate the sheep
from the goats with some astuteness.
He should be able to satisfy himself,
after conversation with the applicant,
whether the latter is real scientist
bent on a genuine archaeological de-
velopment of the ruin, or whether he
merely plans accumulating a store of
ancient pottery, stone axes and skulls.
A law like this also should apply
to ruins on government land. The
bonafide scientist never will find him
self handicapped by such requirements
as these. The bungling amateur, the
souvenir hunter, and other despoilers
of ancient works are not entitled to
consideration.

AMERICA ALWAYS HUMAN
mesa Tribune)


When we read of the great work
flood sufferers of the South, we are
bound to conclude that all corporations
are not "soulless."
From the beginning of the flood up
to June 15, 304 special relief trains
were run, 104,788 refugees were res
cued and transported, 2,479 carloads
of household goods and live stock
were saved, 4,794 cars were furnished
for living accommodations, and 504
carloads of foodstuffs and supplies
were brought in. All this was done
free of charge.
In addition, the railroads furnished
and paid for the labor of thousands Of
their employees, transported thousands
of laborers from other parts of the
country to build and protect levees,
and hauled thousands of carloads of
rock, sand and other material to
strengthen levees and shelter the
homeless.
This timely relief was rendered
free of cost by the Southern Pacific,
Illinois Central, Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific, st. Louis-San Francisco,
Missouri Pacific, Kansas City South
ern, Texas and Pacific, and st. Louis
Southwestern.
The manner in which the manage
ments of these roads faced and ham
died the situation, one of the greatest
catastrophes in all history, is another
index of the genius and ability Of
American railroad men.
But what these railroads did is
characteristic of Americans every
where and on all occasions. Nothing
so touches and animates the heart
spring of America as human distress,
whether at home or abroad.
Whether in a corporate or individ-
ual sense, America is always human.
We may differ on other things, but
never on our duty to succor our neigh
Dor and aid the afflicted at our door
or beyond the seas; and to Americans
that is what makes life worth living.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPERS RECOGNIZED

A. A. Anderson, secretary of the Pacific Coast
Bm!dng-Loan association, in an address at the
Pacific States savings and loan conference recon-
mends newspaper advertising as the most effective
ana economical means of reaching the public.
Further he urged that the building loan associa-
tons throughout the United States should have a
fund Of at least 81 100000 for such campaign
AS Mr. Anderson knows it has been fully dem
onstrated that the newspaper stands by itself as
carrier of messages to the greatest possible num-
Der of people. 1t is the only medium that is sure
to reach the citizens of community and be read
This fact is being more fully appreciated every
day.
The smaller city dailies and country weeklies
are the great medium for reaching the masses of
the people who represent the majority of the read
ing and buying power Of this nation
The Coconino sun., 1927-10-07
WE ARE ALL AMERICANS

Learned editorials in big metropolitan news
papers, discussing the inferiority complex of
farmers as class, lead to no good result.
Perhaps this complex is more marked as a char
acterstc on the part Of the farm critics, for city
folks show woeful lack in general knowledge of
country" affairs
great many farmers" have become ex-
perts and prospered in dairying, stock raising,
fruit and truck gardening in spite of metropolitan
jibes at hicks and rubes
The people of our country including city Jour
nalists and syndicate writer's better conclude that
we are all Americans, with constantly changing
habits and classes Of occupations
The farmers and country-bred people may make
up the majority of medium and smaller-sized cities
one day, while the progressive and enterprising
dweers and tillers of the soil are coming more
and more from the cities
