Little words of tenderness
The little sob sister hummed along
with the tenor whose splendid voice
the scratched surface of the record
was reproducing with nasal twang.
1t was May again and she was dane
ing at the County club with Don. A
tenor in the orchestra was singing
it.
"Tt's -Driftwood' they're playing.
isn't it Don?" she was asking again
above the din of the music and he
was answering absently-"Yeh-
good tempo"
"Ho, hum" sighed Teddy, and
then played the record again. She
played it over and over again. The
worn spring in the ancient machine
gave out and Teddy was forced to
quiet.
Up in her room she went through
her modest wardrobe trying to de-
eide what she should wear the next
day. If it turned out to be nice
day she would wear white, even if
all the girls were wearing fall things.
Teddy stuck to comfort, not custom.
Before she put out the light she
pressed her lips on the tiny clipped
picture of Don. She fell almost i'm
mediately into an untroubled sleep.
1t was Tuesday afternoon. A jan
itor had been called to move back
a few of the desks and tables in the
editorial room. Pop had decided on
this room instead of the directors
room, because of its greater size.
Chairs were placed in a semi circle
facing the copy table, which, for the
occasion, had been converted into a

AUTO DRIVERS
WARNED ABOUT
JULY 4 TRIPS
Heavy Traffic Will Make
Extra Precautions
Necessary.

~ IAnss;HEHINSGToN, July because
July Fourth travelling is expected to
reach unprecedented volume the
American Automobile Association to-
day appealed to all motorists to
employ maximum care to keep high
way accidents to the minimum.
The appeal is based on sad ex-
periences of other years and con-
tains these cautions:
watch the side road and watch
the grade crossing.
Make this a Safety Fourth; the
occasion provides the motorists with
a ready-made opportunity to dem
onstrate in practical fashion
their interest in public safety. They
should make up their minds before
leaving home that they will en-
counter heavy congestion, and fore
warned should mean fore-armed.
Many Green Drivers
There will be many factors in the
situation over July that call for the
maximum of safe-playing. There
will be the usual crop of inexperi-
enced drivers, who seldom get be-
hind the wheel except on holidays.
More trains will be running and
the hundreds of additional excur-
sion trains will render caution at
grade crossings doubly imperative.
More children will be on the streets
and everywhere the motorist will en-
counter picnic parties shooting out
of lanes and secondary roads.
start early if you must reach
your destination at a certain hour
and thus eliminate the necessity of
fast driving.
Keep to your own side of the
road. Horn at the top of hills and
at turns where vision is INSTRUCTED

MERCHANTS LOSSES TO FLY
BY-NIGHTS
lArizona Republican,

The Chamber OF Commerce and the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation are engaged in a movement to
protect local merchants and trademen
against a form of loss to which they
have been subjected and at the same
time to compel certain class of in
dividuals to engage in some honest
livelihood if they expect to remain in
the community.
One Of the drains to which mer-
chants have long been exposed is fly
by-night advertising. A stranger
comes along, and learning that some
organization or group is proposing
to give an entertainment or make
some sort of public appeal, offers to
get out a program or prospectus.
He undertakes this work, showing how
it can be made profitable to the part
les of the first and second part at the
expense of third party, composed Of
merchants and tradesmen.
He prepares the program, leaving
generous space for advertisers, block
ed into small or large sections, to be
sold for S5 or SO. Then, apparently
sponsored by the organization, he goes
about among the merchants, soliciting.
Or he may secure the aid of mem
Der of the organization, a more or less
valuable patron of an obdurate or
reluctant merchant, to call upon him.
The merchants know from painful
experience that this kind of advertis-
ing is absolutely worthless. They
would just as soon make a direct con-
tribution of the price Of it to the or
ganization or give it away without
equivalent, to any other purposes But
they have friends and patrons in the
organization whom they do not want
to offend, and, bleeding inwardly, they
"come through" as reluctantly as they
would at the pistol muzzle of high
wayman. Only, in making contribu-

AUTOMOBILE TAXES
Verde Newsl

This paper has consistently opposed
the piling up Of taxes on owners of
automobiles and it would appear that
the legislature is waking up at last to
the injustice of some of our laws. The
machine owners of the state paid last
year, in special state fees, $107, 7,419.42,
of which amount S93, ,400.07 went in
salaries and other expenses-and the
state got $4,000.
In other words, it costs US nearly
81 to collect 81.
None of us object to a reasonable
tax; we are all willing to pay an adj
ditional price for gasoline to maintain
our roads; we are all willing to pay
reasonable fees for registration, etc.;
but we all object to handing over our
good money to fatten lot of officials
and clerks pocketbooks.
Support the roads!" cry the tax
advocates, and we're all for the idea
but we hate devilishly to support an
army of clerks and turn over $4,000
out of $107, 900 to the highway funds.
Let US get a little common sense
into this business, if we can, and let
us quit pauperiding so many people
by giving them fat jobs at our own
personal expense.

THE DIGEST is "OFFa

Generally speaking, California las represented
both IN the newspapers and in congress) favors
the pending SWing-J Johnson bill and Utah and
Arizona apparently are not quite satisfied
This sentence from article in the current IS
of the Literary Digest gives some idea of the
confusion existing in the east over the Boulder
Dam issue and the disagreements between the
states of the Colorado basin.
Not quite satisfied comes far from express
ing Arizona's opinion of the Boulder Canyon pro-
ject. The whole state is just about as much dis
be with anything affecting its interests. It's citi-
zens have been dissatisfied for so long, and with
practically complete unanimity, that they sup
posed the whole world knew about it by this time.
Evidently, however, the Literary Digest from
which majority of well informed Americans OBJ
tain big share of their data on public questions,
is still very hazy certain features of the Colo
RADIO controversy. In the same article mentioned
it gives Utah credit for leading the fight
against the Boulder Dam, whereas the position of
Utah has changed from at least passive approval
to active opposition only in the last few weeks.
The Louisville Courier-Journal, as quoted by the
Digest, says:
"The interests of California and Utah are so
diametrically opposed that the fight over the dam
has become bitter.
Utah,s interests, as all know in the Southwest,
are trifling compared to Arizona's stake in the
Colorado. We welcome, however, the assistance
of our sister state on the north.-Mesa Tribune.
The Trib might have followed the article along
paragraph further and found the following as
founding geographical statement in the Digest.
Speaking of the course of the river it winds up
with the information: "Then across the boundary
into Mexico for a hundred miles before EMPTY

OUR DUTY TO THE WORLD

We have heard great deal of late about our
duty to Mexico, our duty to Nicaragua, and our
duty and the worlds duty to China Isn't it about
time we spend d feWsof our spare moments inquir-
ing whether Nicaragua and Mexico and China
have any duty to the rest of the world Some of
the professional friends of Mexico and China in
America tell us that we have only been in these
two countries for motives of trade and profit that
the unfortunate peoples there have had their raw
products taken away from them by fraud
Well, it may be that III some cases there has
been bribery in the securing of concessions, al
though Americans and Europeans in foreign trade
are probably about as honest as those engaged in
other cangs. But il there has been bribery and
corruption in some instances has generally been
because the wheels of Justice in these benighted
countries generally require greasing of financial
nature.
But somehow or other it seems to make a diff
ference to- some of our International clackers
whether Uncle Sam is acting to protect his cit-
zens or whether some other nation is following a
similar course. What is patriotic self interest in
another nation becomes gross imperialism in
America.
Great Britain for centuries has been following
the course of protecting its nationals wherever
they are threatened and justly so. No sensible
person will criticize the British government for
doing this But certainly American lives and in
terests are as worthy of protection.
Fortunately, however, our internationalists are
greatly in the minority in America. A few frogs
in big pond can make lots of noise

it can make beginning, and has

Z But the shadow Of the veto is not
as serious as it would seem, for the

realizes this, and it ought to have en-

The state banking department took

with the governor and attorney gen

result that hundreds of thousands Of
dollars were lost for depositors. Now

THE COUNTRY GOD FORGOT?

A $550;O0O tourist hotel is to be built on the
north rim of the Grand Canyon by the Utah Parks
company, so we are advised by representatives OF
the Park Service The bids for this development
program on the north rim were opened by the
Interior Department on February Is, and the
proposal Of the Utah Parks company was accept
ed. Evidently the Utah Parks company is sub
sidiary company of the Union Pacific Railway
company IF not, at least friendly organization
which contemplates the development of the north
side of the Grand Canyon-that vast and valuable
strip of country which the rest of Arizona almost
forgot.

that ARIZONA was the country that God forgot. "
Sometimes, with all the advantages God gave
Arizona, we believe it was really the other way
around
