PRIMARY VS.. CONVENTION

Has the general adoption of the primary system
in the nomination of candidates for office brought
about the selection Of a better class than were
chosen by the party conventions in the past? The
general opinion of those who have given any
thought to the subject furnishes a negative reply
to that question. When nominees were selected
by party conventions far attention was paid
to the character Of the men whose names were to
be placed on the party tickets than appears to be
the case where the primary plan has superseded
the convention Without making invidious COM
parsons, odious they are, it is doubtful It It IS
possible to name many states or municipalities
in which the officers chosen at primary elections
equal in character and integrity their predecessors
selected in caucus or convention.
In the days of the convention the party caucus
chose delegates to the convention and those dele
gates exercised far more care in selecting candl-
dates than is manifested by voters in the pTi-
maries It is comparatively an easier matter in
most of the states for candidate to pack a
primary than to pack a convention. AS pointed
out in communication to the Post by one who
has had many years experience in politics; the
doors are wide open to party frauds, democrats
vote in republican primaries and republicans vote
in democratic primaries, and In many instances
the purchasabe vote decides the result.-Wash-
ington Post.

WHY NOT ORDER THE WINDS
TO CEASE?
(Bisbee Review

We note that there is considerable
agitation In various sections of the
United States to regulate the dress
length of the women who are employed
to teach the young idea how to shoot.
We also note that those who have ad-
vocated skirts of more modesty than
Dame Fashion DEGREES hit into a dou-
bic play-teachers to parents to pub
lie opinion. One principal of a mid
dle-western school struck out on three
pitched balls, so to speak, when he is
sued an ultimatum that his female
pedagogues would either wear skirts
that covered their knees when they
sat down or a uniform of similar
length and much less beauty. The
teachers did not even take the trouble
to appeal to the parents, and most of
them are still displaying as much of
their shapely limbs as Paris designers
say the well-undressed woman should
display. Without going into the mer-
its or vice versa of the principals or
der, we would say that he could not
have known much about women when
he issued his ultimatum. 1t has been
enormously said that women dress to
please the men. They don't. They
dress to please themselves, for the
most part, and what other considera-
tion is given goes to members of their
own sex. This was demonstrated
when bobbed hair came into fashion.
Nine out of 10 men objected to it at
first, but it will be noticed that the
majority of women sheared their
locks. Their excuse was that they
were more comfortable with bobbed
hair; that's the same excuse they give
for short skirts. Both are logical ex-
cuses, but they are not the true rea-
sons. Someone started the style and
that's why abbreviated skirts and
hair will remain with us until Dame
Fashion DEGREES otherwise-all the
school principals and superintendents
to the contrary Notwithstanding.

WHO ARE THE ..HoPHEADs''?

Captain Richmond Hobson, the hero who sunk
the Merrmac to bottle up the Spanish fleet dur
ing the Spanish-American war and who was vlT-
tually kissed out of commission later, is one OF
the most apprehensive men we ever saw. After
the Spanish war had been completed and filed
away, it was his obsession that we should imme-
diately or very soon busy ourselves IN preparing
the whip the Japs. According to Hobson this war
was inevitable and we should be loaded for it. He
missed his guess by half a worlds width Old
army officers knew the next powder party was
going to be with Germany. They won their bet.
Now Captain Hobson has made another pessl-
mistic choice as it were and says America is get
ting to be a mess Of dope fiends and says we have
1,750,000 drug addicts in the United States.
Colonel Lee Mutt secretary of the U. S. mar
cotic control board, who back in primitive po-
litical days in Illinois, materially assisted us in
electing few presidents, replies:
For all their setretiveness, if they're plenty,
it's funny we dor catch an occasional hophead
taking shot or sniff on the sly Personally |
never spotted more than two or three Suspects,
even, in my life. | think it's the same with most
folks We hear all kinds of stories-but that's
ALL
Like lot of heroes, Captain Hobson is of a
high strung nervous temperament and must
hero" about something that is going wrong with
our country He is not politician and undoubt-
edly sincere in his hysterical propaganda, but
withall has the pessimistic urge which looks
through smoked glasses.

the greatest percentage of Increase IN
population of any state in the Union,
and between 1920 and 1925 exceeded
only by Florida-and its mounting
production and increasing tourist
travel assure that it's Importance in
transportation sense will continue to
grow That the railroads are keeping
pace with its requirements and have
utmost faith in its great future de-
velopment is shown by the fact that
the Southern Pacific has recently COM
pleted new main line and other con-
struction amounting to $20,000,000,
while the Santa Fe has expended an
equal sum in improvements on its
lines in the state in the last few years.
Long recognized as a premier min
ing state, Arizona is important also
for its extensive live stock industries,
a considerable lumber industry, its
fast growing agricultural industry
in which perishable crops for eastern
markets are a large factor-and for
it's unexcelled tourist attractions.
Producing nearly half the copper OF
the United States and one-fourth Of
the worlds supply, it also ranks third
in gold and silver and far exceeds all
other western states IN value OF ltS
total metal output. More than 1,000,
600 sheep Craze on its ranges and
nearly 100000 cattle. Though small
IN farming area compared with other
states. it ranks third in the average
value of its farm lands, and first in
average yield per acre and value per
acre of many major crops. It's lum-
Der industry is permanent, for Arl-
iona contains the largest unbroken
pine forest in the country, and its
manufacturing industries are growing
steadily.
Climate and scenery are two of Ari-
zona's greatest assets. Southern Arl-
zona is becoming world famous as a
winter resort section, and northern
Arizona offers equal possibilities as q
summer resort land. Both are rich In
scenic wonders, and in remains of pre-
historic civilizations, and in historic
attractions of the Spanish and pioneer
days. Add climate and scenery to min
ing. live stock, lumber and an agri-
cultural development that is opening
hundreds of thousands of acres Of new
land to the settler, and you may pic
ture for yourself the Arizona Of the
future,

ROADS AND THE CARPING
CRITIC
Tucson Starr

The following editorial is from the
Arizona state highway department
magazine:
Fifteen years ago the first COVER
nor of the state of Arizona and the
first state engineer, the late Lamar
Cobb, went on an inspection trip of
roads in the northern section of the
state, roads that are now a highway
link of the great transcontinental sys-
tenn.
"Over this highway today automo-
biles skim through Arizona travelling
east and west or to the warm climate
Of central and southern Arizona, with
tourists enjoying every moment spent
on goods roads. But it was not like
that in the olden days-to paraphrase
the song-when the first governor and
the first state engineer carried on
with their inspection trip.
MANY vicissitudes attended their
trip. Eight miles from an important
city, a spring broke, the engine gave
dying gasp and an axle crashed, and
the two state officials started afoot
for the important city. There were
no passing motorists to give them a
lift, so they trudged the eight miles
over ruts and pitfalls to much needed
food and lodging.
Another stretch of bad road GO
ing on the same trip consumed five
hours to travel two miles or two hours
to travel five miles-a record in either
event-due to the fact that fallen
trees and huge rocks must be dis
lodged before the car could proceed.
These are the roads of Is years
ago. The people of Arizona had not
begun to realize the Importance to the
state of improved highways, and it
was not until several years later that
they perceived that necessity.
Consider the motorist Of today
were he confronted with the conditions
of Is years ago. The news would
travel from coast to coast that Ari-
zona was a good state to avoid. But
Arizona has kept pace with the march
of progress and tourist traffic is in
creasing each year over excellent
highways.
"The carping critic, who is contin-
uously complaining about the gas tax,
the motor vehicle fees and other
sources of revenue for the construc-
tion and betterment of state high
ways; the same person who is the
curbstone philosopher, knowing moth
ing himself but criticizing the men
who have made this branch Of engi-
neering their life's work, should be
compelled to travel over highways like
those the first governor of Arizona
and the first state engineer inspected
Is wears ago"
The highway department misinter-
prets the voice of the critics. There
are extremely few, if any, who would
have Arizona roads as they were when
the first governor land last) went in
to office; but there are many who be-
lieve that good roads, and better roads
than we have now even, can be built
for less money than it is taking and
has taken. The inauguration of the
highway commission was an attempt
to improve roads at lower cost. The

TAX LAWS SHOULD BE sIMPLIFIED

It is one of the tritest maxns of political econ
ony that all taxes are burdensome, however wise
~ and prudenty imposed; and though there have
always been among our people wide differences OF
sentiment as to the best methods Of raising the
national revenues and indeed, to the principles
upon which taxation should be based, there has
been substantial accord in the doctrine that only
such taxes ought to be levied as are necessary for
a wise and economic administration Of the gov
ernment.
Congress, at the coming session, will have in
its hands the report of the special committee on
internal revenue which was appointed to study
the whole internal revenue system and work out
program that the government may adopt and
adhere to for long term of years. It is hoped
that this session of congress will at least com
rnence the process Of simplifying the confused
mass of tax law.

PROBLEMS OF PRESIDENCY

Within nine months the choice for occupant
for the White House will be narrowed to two
men and 80, 100000 voters will choose leader and
spokesman for four years.
Economy and prosperity are talked of as the
achievements of the present administration, with
a general policy to let the people alone to work
out their salvation.
Our country has also refrained from mixing up
with other countries. Greater revenues resulted
from lower tax rates Anti-corporaton sentiment
and radicalsm in any form have constantly de-
clined
Industries and payrols are considered more I'M
portant than partisanship and people generally
prefer a candidate who will give us soundness in
Judgment and firmness in control
The Coconino sun., 1927-10-21
Drawn OR BRAINS

We believe the biggest victory and the best
signs of the coming times of prosperity was in
dicated by the nationsl convention Of the Ameri-
can Federation cf Labor at Los Angeles when
freak ideas and radicalism were turned down.
Brains seemed to have predominated amongst the
majority. They evidently realized there are no
short cuts to permanent prosperity We must all
be big enough to give and take If we hope to live
as humans should live and prosper. An indus
trial war is Just as detrimental as a gun-powder
war of physical slaughter. One is more spectacu-
lar than the other, but the results so far as the
best interests of humanity are concerned are
just the same. Brute force has never convinced
anyone of anything, except physical inferiority.
Patient education of the people is gradually
working out the salvation of the peoples of the
world Force does not furnish solution Of a
problem. 1t merely retards the day Of progress.
History made since the days Of our grandfathers
amply proves the assertion.
The Coconino sun., 1927-10-21
BILLS AGIN OUR PROPOSED NAVY

Editor Bill Stuart of the Prescott Courier seems
most vitriolically opposed to an Arizona navy. We
presume his antagonism arises from the fact that
The Sun proposed the idea first as a solution of
our irrigation problems. We are mighty sorry
this jealousy has cropped out at this time, but
it is plainly evident that Editor Stuart is peeved
because we suggested the name of Senator Fred
Golfer as the first admiral since he invented the
nighttime. We regret very much that Mr. Stuart
should, with undue youthful enthusiasm, inject
Mr. Volstead into this argument and demand that
Arizona's naval fleet should first be high-baled
up Granite Creek Granite Greek used to be a
we have seen democrats sailing down it-but why
bring that up?

A POLITICAL SAMPLE

Wouldn't Senator Jim Reed be in aneloya fix
IF he was elected to the presidency and was COM
PEELED to correct all the things he has condemned
and criticized? Wouldn't this be a wonderful
country IF every blatant. promising politician was
compelled to make good his statements or stand
UP against one of those famously dinpled Mexi-
an dobe walls and be ariated like Swiss cheese?
The chances are that under such circumstances
the fellow with the resonant voice and galloplng
tongue would be more constrained to consult his
intelligence than to take up his time in cultivating
his voice In fact more progress would be made
if we'd study more and talk less.

A GOLDEN STATE
(Oregon Journal)

With the power from an irrigation
project paying for the water used by
settlers, Arizona is setting an exam
pie to the rest of the country. And
there is a lot in that state that makes
Arizona highly interesting.
Arizona is one of the largest states
in area and one of the smallest in
population. From a transportation
standpoint, however, it is an impor-
tant one, for it produces approx
mately $180,O00,O00 of basic COM
modities each year, and its industries
provide a surprisingly large proper
ton of the total revenue freight car
ried by the two railroads that serve
it.
Moreover, Arizona is one of the
fastest growing sections in the world
between 1910 and 1920 recording

About the most contemptuous dirty dig the
Maricopa county jail ever got was the other day
when prisoner named Owens broke out of it and
voluntarily went back to the pe1itentiary at Flor
ence This speaks volumes for our comfortable
state penitentiary also for the Maricopa county
iail but in different style Of language. We hope
our legislature will provide a travelling card for
all prisoners in order that when they demit they
will have something to show they are eligible to
some other institution of similar character.
