MAKE 1T HARD FOR THE
CRIMINAL

There is q whole lot of talk
about the crime wave and how
to reduce crime. A few practical
suggestions have been made. but
most of the publicity is given to
proposals which would favor and
pamper the criminal at the ex.
pense of the law abiding citizen.
If we want to stop crime, the
surest way to make it unpopular
is to make it more unpleasant
for the criminal.
A law to deny the private citi.
zen the right to buy and own q
pistol or revolver merely gives
the criminal a safer field in
which to operate. We already
have regulatory laws regarding
the sale of revolvers and the
carrying of concealed weapons.
These laws, in the past. have
been effective when they were
enforced. =
The average man has no bust.
ness carrying q concealed wea
pom. If be has occasion to, he
can get q permit to do 80. The
crook has no business being q
crook, but if be is a crook, still
be has no business carrying 3
concealed weapon.
Therefore, If he is arrested in
the act of law breaking and later
convicted, he should be subject.
ed to the penalty the law i'm
poses. If he uses q gun ia the
commission Of q crime, why not
double the penalty?
This would punish the crimi.
nal who uses 9 gun unlawfully,
rather than the private citizen
who under the Constitution has
q right to own and possess guns.
In other words. enforce our
laws, double the penalty for
criminals where they use dan.
eerous weapons, and uphold the
law-abiding citizen in his consti
tutional rights.

RAILROAD TAXES

Some interesting and peril.
nent facts concerning the rail.
road industry are chronicled' by
James B. Duffy, general passen-
ger agent of the Santa Fe lines,
in a recent issue of the News.
gram" He shows that In 1925
the Glass I railroads of this coun
try were taxed over a million
dollars q day or q total of $685.
682, 848 for the year-a sum
greater than the dividends dis
bursed in that period. In other
words the owners of the lines
received less than the tax col.
lector.
Mr.. Duffy emphasizes that the
railroads are great consumers of
the products of other businesses.
They bought $473, 00O.0 900 worth
OF fuel, and purchased 10 per
cent of the total lumber output
for $186, 291, 900. For iron and
steel products the total was we'll
over half q billion dollars, and
the item miscellaneous" totaled
1892, O85, 900. And this is far
from being the whole story.
The railroads must meet ex.
penses and make some profit,
and taxes must be figured in
freight and passenger rates just
the same as other expenses.
Taxes take almost as much rail-
road revenue as does fuel to
operate the trains. How many
businesses pay more taxes than
dividends?- Manufacturer.

CARNIVAL GOT ORDERS
Tucson Daily independently

In regard to the carnival that
held forth last week on West
Congress street. just outside OF
the city limits, we are now ad.
vised by Sheriff Mcdonald that
on last Tuesday night he order.
ed the gambling there stopped.
Later, he said, representatives
of the carnival company called
on him and asked permission to
run their games of chance and
were advised that they could
not. The carnival representa-
tives asked what would be the
consequences. and we're told that
arrest would follow il they again
opened the games, according to
the report made.
The independent is glad that
the move was made, and it should
be followed out in regard to all
future skin games that go under
the name of carnivals.
But we also noticed that this
same company visited here once
before this year and held forth
for a week, when the state law
against gambling was the same
as it is at the present time, yet
no move was made against them.
But, on their return this time, in
order that the officials might not
have any Misunderstanding as to
what the law really is. the indie
pendent printed 1t in the edito
rial column.
The carnival company may or
may not have followed out the
dictum of the Pima county sheriff
at all times last week, but this
we do know: On Tuesday night,
the writer, of this article was
told by a school girl late at
night, after the crowd for the
evening was practically all gone,
| that she had won a ring" there,
but that it had cost her dollar
before she won it.
| We also know that on the same
night, Tuesday night, an Indian
went into the store of Tucson
merchant, carrying two kewpie'
dolls. The merchants wife
bought one from him for 50 cts.
The Indian told her that he had
won both at the carnival, and
had ALSO won SIS in cash." She
asked him if the people could
play for cash and be told that
her that anyone could.
The Indian ended up. however,
by telling the merchants wife
that the game" got all of the
SIS back. and SIS of his own
money besides.
Same old come on" that has
been used for so many years by
these takers!

Is There a Santa Claus?

LII lou tu0I0 oPpCoICu al VIC
New York Sun q letter from q
little girl, asking If there really
was Santa Cluas. An editorial
writer. Frank P. Church, replied
to the little girls letter, and his
editorial has come to be regard.
ed as one of the classics of mo
dern Christmas literature.
The Letter:
Dear Editor: I am 8 years
old. Some of my little friends
Isay there is no Santa Claus.
Papa says, If you see it in the
Sun it's So Please tell me the
truth; is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon.
The reply:
Virgins your little friends are
wrong. They have been affecs.
ed by the skeptism of skeptical
age. They do not believe ex
cept they see. They think that
nothing can be which is not com,
prshonsible to their little minds.
All minds, Virginia. whether
they be mems or children's, are
little. In this great universe of
ours man is q mere insect, an
ant, in his intellect, as compared
with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelli
Rence capable of graspinR the
whole truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a
Santa Claus. He exists as Ger
tainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you know
that they abound and give to
your life it's highest beauty and
| joy. Alas! How dreary would
be the world If there were no
Santa Claus! IT would be %
dreary as if there were no Vir.
ginias. There would be no child
like faith then, no romance to
make tolerable this existence. We
would have no enjoyment except
ia sense and sight. The eternal
light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguished.
mot believe in Santa Claus!
You might as we'll not believe in
fairies! You might get yonr
papa TO hire men to watch in oil
cbimneys on Christmas Eve TO
catch Santa Claus, but even il
they did not see Santa Claus
coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign that
there is no Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world are
those that neither children sor
men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? OF
course not; but that's no proof
that they are not there. Nobody
can conceive or imagine all the
wonders that are unseen and M.
seeable in the world.
"You may tear apart the baby's
rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is q veil
covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor not
even the united strength of all
strongest men that ever lived,
could tear apart. Only faith,
fancy, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain and
view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond. Is it
al real? All, Virginia. in all
this world there is nothing else
real and abiding.
mo Santa Claus Thank
God, he lives and lives forever !!
A thousand years from now,
Virginia, nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now. be
will continue to make glad the
heart of childhood"
