MEET THE NEIGHBOR

Get. acquainted with your neighbor you
might like him. =
This quotation was coined from an expression
made few years ago by hardware and imple-
ment dealer in Trenton, Missouri named Tom Wit
ten. Tom had been listening to the chronic gos-
siping Of one of the village critics until his pa
tence gave way with this sugar-coated admoni-
tion that covered everything from the Golden
Rule to tending ones own business and the advis-
ability of glass house inhabitants refraining from
casting stones.
Ever since Witten settled the town critic with
this remark it has been going the rounds and
making history. It has affected small and large
business; the Trenton idea" has been discussed
over the radio before Rotary and Kwanis clubs,
in magazines, and over breakfast tables and coun-
ters.
The idea that the Golden Rule is being applied
to small business as well as big, and that the Gus
toner is a part Of business is gaining ground,
Only in proportion to the ability of its citizenship
to arise to this conception will town rise to it's
opportunities, develop civic consciousness and
build community with high living standards and
a high percentage of useful men and women.

WHY NOT?
(El Paso Herald)

California's attitude is to disregard
the millions Of dollars annually which
Arizona has poured into the Golfers
of coast wholesalers in the past ten
or l5 years, and the many more mill
lions of dollars Arizona vaeationists
have spent in California in the past
40 years.
It's perfectly proper ESQ reasons the
supremely selfish California mind)
that Arizona should spend her money
in California, but Californians must
not spend money in Arizona. They
used to, and probably still do, go as
far as to compel westbound dining
cars to drop Arizona fruits and vege-
tables at Yuma, and stock up there
with California products.
In short, California boycotts Ari-
zona. It's strictly a one-Way PROPOSE
ton. Reach out for Arizona money,
but hold fast to California's.
Ell Paso's interests and Arizona's
are one. Review any development pro-
ject helpful to Arizona at any time in
the past and see If Ell Pasoans haven't
championed Arizona's cause and tried
to help put the thing over-just as

WE NEED MORE LAWS AND MORE JAILs

Regardless of the fact that the people of the
United States are getting better and better NOR
ally each year, judges are complaining most bit
terly of lack of accommodations for their patrons.
Judge Phelps of Maric0pa county has practically
refused to send customers to the Maricopa county
jail unless better accommodations are afforded.
There seems to be crying need for syndicate
of fnancers who can provide better places for re-
tiIement and seclusion for those embarrassed by
our laws.
The federal government has boldly demanded
accommodations for their patients to the ex-
clusion of local patrons. Patrons of our state
institutions, who have been away on vacations,
are now compelled to wire back for reservations
in advance. n
It's the fault of our taxpayers. 1t will be only
q few years under existing conditions before few,
if any, criminals can be induced to come to Ari-
zona and commit anything.
If this congested condition continues it may be
absolutely necessary in the near future to repeal
some of our criminal laws Such an idea is most
abhorrent
What we need is more laws and more jais.

WELCOME TO THE ENCHANTED
EMPIRE
lHolhrook Trihnnal


This summer hundreds of Holbr0ok
Tribune readers in states east of the
Mississippi will spend their annual
vacation somewhere away from their
homes. Possibly many are making
plans for the trip now.
To those who are not acquainted
with the matchless beauty and wide
diversity Of the scenic marvels of
northeastern Arizona, in the vicinity
surrounding Holbrook, let us extend
a hearty welcome to this enchanted
empire.
In a single days travel from Hol-
brook it is possible to enjoy the
rugged grandeur of the desert, the
beautiful uplands scenery in the
mountain foothills, and the fishing
and camping recreational haunts in
the pine-clad mountain tops.
At HOlbrook's very doorstep one
of the seven great wonders Of the
United States the Petrified Forests
of Arizona where the earth is
spread with a wealth of brilliants, is
a sight that holds equal interest with
the great Grand Canyon, also an
other Arizona attraction.
Vieing with the Petrified Forests
and the Grand Canyon there is the
famous Painted Desert northeast of
Holbrook, with its wierd formations
and many-colored sands stretching
away for miles and miles.
Canyon de Chelly is another awe
inspiring scenic spot where the mas
sive spfre Of Gel Captain" stands as
silent sentinel in the vast brooding
space.
After all of these and many other
scenes have been enjoyed on. visit
to Holbrook, Winslow, Flagstaff,
Prescott, Phoenix and southern Ari-
zona cities will be glad to direct you
to Arizona natural wonder undupli-
Gated anywhere in the country.
Welcome to Holbrook and Arizona.

CIVIC ADVERTISING PAYS
douglas Dispatchl

-
Community advertising has passed
the experimental stage, and has en-
tered the circle of scientific certain
tiles.
It pays
Kansas City having population of
around half a million, has adopted an
advertising program which will en-
tail the expenditure Of $450,000 a
year for the next five years.
The people Of that progressive city,
not only recognize the benefit of adj
vertising, but they know the results
of cumulative advertising.
Sporadic advertising, while it pays
small dividends, does not enrich the
advertiser like continual advertising.
It has been estimated by experts that
the value of advertising increases In
the ratio of the square Of succeeding
appropriations.
In other words, the $450,000 ex-
pended by Kansas City on the fifth
year Of its advertising campaign, will
produce greater results than the en-
tire five-year appropriation would if
expended the first year.
The Douglas Chamber of CONNER
ce and the Borderland Climate club
are expending considerable sums or
advertising at present which are pro-
ducing satisfactory results.
1t is up to the business men of the
city to see that the campaign is con-
tinued for five or ten years with no

DECIDING OUR LAWS

We are inclined to think Governor Hunt was
right in vetoing the code commission bill. If Mr..
Struckmeyer and his assistants could not codfy
our laws in two years for $4,000, why should the
price be cut to $4,000 for the next two years.
Arizona now has more laws per capita than any
other state in the Union and our per capita as to
use theerof is less than average. Our jais are
full to the saturation point now and we can see
at this time, except for the convenience Of law
yers. However, lawyers have not signified their
intention of reducing their fees even if our state
laws were codified. The people of Arizona are
just as well qualified now to name every egg in a
caviar sandwich as they are to name our present
ur-codified laws
The people are taking the same chances regard
less of what happens to our laws.

money is to be returned to the city.
There is nothing that would be
better guerdon to the continued pros
perity of Douglas at this time than
announcement by its live civic oragni-
zations that arrangements had been
made for an advertising campaign to
be continued over a five or ten-year
period.
I One year Of advertising is good,
but five years is mary times better,
and productive Of % times the results
that may be attained the first year.
1t would sem reasonable for the
business men Of Douglas to budget
their civic advertisement for the next
five years, and assure the civic or
ganizations their continued support
for that period.

WHEN ANGER is Al LIABILITY
Miami Bulleitin)

It's the easiest and most natural
thing in the world for a man to lose
his temper for minute or so. Moth
ing is more human" than to seek to
''get even" with someoI,e who has Of
Tended us.
Ordinarily, these little outbursts
that all of us indulge in don't hurt
anyone But there is one circumstance
in which none of us should ever let
his temper get the bette: of him. That
is-when driving an automobile.
Sure, it makes you mad when the
other fellow cuts in in front Of you
or passes you on the wrong side.
Sure, it's natural for YOU to want to
get ahead and cut your car in sharp
in front of his. But don't do it.
Momentary losses Of temper, We'll
wager, cause about as many traffic
accidents as any other single cause.
Don't get mad while you're driving
a car. It may cost you your life.

WESTERN dude RANCHES
(Nopales Heraldl


While travellers tales still hold a
measure of marvel at the openness of
the great open spaces, the national
itch for. organization is in way OF
incorporating select bits of western
scenery. From Bozeman, in Montana,
comes word that the dude ranchers0
have put their heads together and set
up the Dude Ranchers' Association of
the Northwest Well, this business of
making life more interesting for east
ern tenderfeet is now big enough to
justify it's widespreading title. Be-
gun in 1886 as a sporting proposition
by several graduates Of eastern coll
leges, the original boarding house
proportions of "dude ranching" have
been expanded to million dollar mag
nitude in Montana alone.
No offense was intended, and none
seems to have been taken at the pic
turesque designation Of the paying
guests. With the vacationist thus
distinguished from the native, the
dude has come to a refined distinc-
tion in his own ranks-the visitor ar
irving by train is still a dude" but
the sojourner travelling by motor is a
"sagebrusher." Probably this rift
signifies two more organizations,
Dudes, Ltd say, and "Sagebrushers,
Inc. . And what of the owners and
the guides, the ''boss wranglers" and
the 'dude wranglers1? Eventually
they will feel the chubby urge toward
formal and exclusive goings on.
They, too, will find it difficult not to
obey the national impulse.

THE PRESS OF BUSINESS

Editor Art Powell of the Nogales Herald, was
elected president of the Arizona Press club last
Sunday at Phoenix. We are inclined to think it
was meritorious selection. The last time we saw
him he was using four legs, having previously
busted an ankle running down local item. No,
it was fire, not female, but it happened LIN the
outskirts of the city,
While we doubt his ability to wax eloquent as

naturally runs to streamers mentally, physically

Mr.. Holub's idea of repeating sections of the
state constitution agreed upon to secure statehood
not sit well among that class of people who believe
in abiding by a contract honestly made even
though entered into without the best of judgment.
Even the publication of such suggestion was an
injury to the state and its cause. Arizona cannot
always be held responsible for individual express
sions made to gain notoriety, but Arizona at large
never has and we hope never will repudiate its
honest debts or contracts.
