YOU OWE MORE THAN TAXES TO YOUR
COMMUNITY

In recent address on "Civic Leadership, Devel-
opment and Responsibility" Samuel insult, presi-
dent of the Commonwealth Edison company, OF
Chicago, said:
Il hold that every man owes something besides
his taxes to the community in which he lives The
more he has been favored mentally and materially
by fortune, the more he owes. In discharge of
that debt he is under obligation to do for the
munity something that he does not get paid for,
something that he does net make money by. His
obligation to do this is not just once-in-a-while
obligation; it is a continuing obligation, and what
he does in discharge of it should be limited only by
his abilities and his opportunities.
"A true sense of civic responsibility springs
from recognition of this obligation. Individual
response to it produces the civic leadership that
assures continuous, well balanced, symmetrical
community development-the development that
provides for social and spiritual needs so to speak
as we'll as for the physical and material needs of
a community.
'It is to the men of constructive vision that we
owe the Welding of this continent into one homo
geneous whole-the greatest amongst the modern
creations of empire. 1t is to this constructive
class that we owe the development of our great
communities and our great businesses, and from
them you should draw your inspiration for taking
your share of civic responsibility and community
service"

ALBERT VERSUS WILLY

Some men have the habit of al
ways running true to form. If they
are noble in one thing, they are noble
in ALL If they are ignoble in one
thing, they are ignoble in all. The
world has been taught to look upon
Albert of Belgium as the true type of
the hero-king.
Public opinion has likewise been
taught to look upon the former Crown
Prince Wilhelm of Germany as bit
of swanking cad. A story just pub
hshed in the "reminiscences of Frechn
ambassador to Belgium before the
war shows that the two men always
have acted more or less according to
the picture world opinion had of them.
The time was 1912. The occasion
was the funeral of the Countess OF
Flanders, mother Of King Albert. Aft
er the ceremonies, there was lunch
for the royal guests at the palace IN
Brussels. Albert and Willy found
themselves together.
"If Belgium were one day invaded,
what would it do?" asked little Willy
with the tact for which he is noted.
"Its duty" said the king coldly.
/ 'Its duty!" said Willy, laughing, as
if this were something extremely
funny. "Its duty! And what with ?
At least / can hope you will remem-
Der your German blood?"
"T will remember that am a Bel
gian," said the king with noble Dig
nifty.
All the later epic of the struggle of
Belgium against the giant enemy is in
that little anecdote.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

further guerrilla warfare with his
scalp as its objective. In that case it
was not bad strategy for him to take
the offensive, and do it openly.
But the chances are that strategy
was far from the thoughts of Ari-
zona's blunt young congressman. He
scarcely knows what the word signi-
fies and will never make a politician
in the accepted meaning of the term.
Probably he just couldn't hold in any
longer. 1t was with no plan of gain
ing the limelight, certainly no plan of
advancing his political fortunes, that
he voiced his disgust with the gov
ernment that is inflicted upon the suf-
fering taxpayers of Arizona.
In the primary and general cam
paigns of last year, the plain speak
ing of Lewis Douglas was a matter
of general comment. Everybody was
remarking that he certainly had the
courage to say what he believed. He
came straight out and warned the
people that the cards were stacked
against them in the Colorado river
issue; what he said on that score last
week was but repetition of what he
said repeatedly from the stump, and
anyone who claims that the situation
has changed greatly since then is al
lowing his hopes to overshadow his
judgment.
1t was the courage and honesty of
Lewis Douglas that caused the demo-
Gratis of Arizona to nominate him for
congress. and that led the voters of
all parties to elect him by an over
whelming majority when the head of
the ticket, who is likewise the head of
the machine, just did slip through.
Now he is the first democratic leader
to throw down the gauntlet to that
sacred machine and dare it to do its
worst to him. Others have criticized
it, but their criticisms were flamboy-
ant praise compared with his burning
words. Others have fought the ma
chine, but usually they have tempo
rized with it and often they have COM
promised with it for the sake of sup
port-support which was sometimes
no more than airy promises.
Lewis Douglas wants nothing to do
with the machine, desires no support
from it. After what he has said OF
the administration, war to the bitter
end is the only thinkable outcome.
Possibly the administration will
"get" Douglas and have its revenge
But the probabilities are that he has
supplied the anti-Hunt democrats and
the anti Maddox republicans with a
rallying point from which to make a
concentrated assault that will COM
pletely wreck the machine which has
so flagrantly used the taxpayers
money to perpetuate itself in power.

THE DOUGLAS BOMBSHELL
mesa Tribune)

This paper is not advised as to the
occasion for Congressman Lewis w.
Douglas merciless arraignment Of the
state administration, which has turned
out to be the most profound political
sensation of recent years in Arizona.
1t may be that some reporter at the
capital simply happened to find the
congressman in mood to speak right
out and express his convictions, which
are substantially the convictions of
all well-informed Arizonans. Or it
may be that Mr.. Douglas had infor-
nation that this same administration,
still smarting under the defeat ad-
ministered by him to its pet candidate
in the 1926 primary, was planning

HE LAY AWAKE

James Buchanan Duke, the tobacco king, died
worth ninety million dollars. But it wasn't to-
bacco, primarily, that did it. Advertising should
take the credit.
His father, Washington Duke conducted to-
bacco enterprise, his son being in with him as
partner or associate Business then was none
too good.
my son came back from business trip to New
York." said the old gentleman, Saying he had
vertising during twelve months. Our entire as
sets didn't amount to that much. | told Buck SO.
He merely smiled. For three nights did not close
my eyes in slumber, worrying over what / re-
garded as certain ruin. Buck slept peacefully But
when the advertising began, orders came so fast
we had to increase production. At the end of the
twelve months every cent of the advertising was
paid for and our assets were several millions. "

BUSINESS VS.. SOCIALISM

The sooner farmers, fruit growers and other
producers on large scale quit pursuing the fatu-
Gus theories of socialistc advisers about dsposing
of their crops, and adopt plain business methods,
the better for all concerned.
The same business methods that make the iron,
steel, banking and manufacturing business on a
large scale successful will help solve the farmers
problems.
None of the above-named or a thousand other
kinds of business depend very much on sociaistic
policies. There are times of big yields and small
yields big profits and small profits in every busi-
ness, but there is no universal success-nostrum to
insure success in every line of business and to
every member who engages in it.

NOT A BOOM EDITION

The Coconino Suns coming 45th Birthday edi-
ton of Arizona, will be told in the language of the
pioneer newspaper man just as he saw the news
of the day. Aside from the old memories it will
bring to the minds of those still living, it will be of
exciting interest to those who have later made
their homes here. We hope to make it a souvenir
well worth keeping not because of its bulk, for it
will be held down to just those things we believe
worth while.
The comparison of this early outpost of civiliza-
ton As years ago and today should give progress
sive .men some idea of what it will be As years
from now.

HIST, BossY AND MOVE OVER

A speaker before luncheon club in Bisbee re-
Gently informed his hearers that there exists in
Arizona condition unparalleled in any other state
in the union today.
Arizona citizenry is divided into two classes
those immersed in industrial pursuits so busy
engaged in hitting the BALI and doing things in
local way that they are uninterested in the science
of government and in those who devote themselves
to operating the state government who pursue it
as means of livelihood and make it their busi-
ness.
''The result of this division is another group
dependent on the governing class which is willing
to continue the system as long as they share in
its profits.
"This condition brings about phenomenon
which should be given some thought regarding
the part it will play in the future of Arizona 1t
hands of one group and the tax spending in an
other"

LOOSE TALK
clos Angeles Times)

Still smarting under his defeat at
the hands of the Pennsylvania voters,
Clifford Pinchot, former governor of
that state, is now attacking Secre-
tary Mellon and declaring that the
only reason the prohibition law is not
being enforced is because Secretary
Mellon has blocked that enforcement.
He gives no facts and figures to sup
port his declarations. probably be-
cause the facts and figures are all
against him.
Since the prohibition amendment
became the law of the land in 1920,
all these figures show, there has been
a steady, consistent decline in drink
ing. 1t was not expected by anybody
of good sense that the nation would
Immediately become bone-dry all over.
1t was expected that there would be
hootlegging. 1t was expected that
corruption and rotten politics here and
there would nullify the best efforts at
enforcement. 1t was even expected
that it would take full generation
to bring the nation to really dry
basis. But the results have not justi-
fled the gloomiest of the predictions,
and present prospects are, at the end
of nearly seven years, that less than
another seven will find the law gen
orally accepted everywhere.
Pinchot is wrong on two counts:
Prohibition is being enforced and Sec
retary Mellon is not trying to block
it. 1t should be remembered In this
connection that the secretary of the
treasury has other duties, and that he
has during his term of office succeed
ed in one of the most gigantic tasks
ever set for human being, that of
bringing order out of the chaos into
which the Wilson administration
plunged the nations finances. Colos-
sal sums were wasted during the war,
it is admitted by everyone, far exceed
ing the normal wastes of war itself
and war is very wasteful. 1t was the
incoming secretary's duty to guide the
treasury back to a sound basis, and
how we'll he did that duty is known
to everyone. In view of this record,
he could be excused readily for minor
faults; but there is no evidence of any
faults at all.
Pinchot offers no evidence; he mere
ly INDUCES in generalities and vague
ness. 1t is loose talk, precisely SINH
lar to much other loose talk that Pin
chot has uttered during the course of
his career, and it amounts on analysis
to exactly nothing.

SMITHS VS.. JONESES

In the famous Cleveland, Ohio, Smith case
where three babies were born to Smith families
in a maternity hospital, one mother says she
checked in with.a boy and girl was checked out
by the nurse at her lunch counter. The Smith
family is a close contender with the Jones family
in patronoilical development in this world, and
we hope they will be neutral in this case unless it
is proven that blond-Smith gets blacksmith
We hope that congress passes law whereby all
Smiths and Joneses in maternity hospitals should
be segregated by barbed wire fences to prevent
contagion in names.

health authorities, but they believe
that it is only flare up and that the
danger will soon be passed. At least
all past experiences would indicate
that.
The state health department in
bulletin this week points out that an
erroneous impression has arisen that
300 or 400 cases were reported to the
state health department and that
about 115 still exist in the state. This
they say is not true. So far, since
June 26, the statement says, total of
1913 cases have been reported. Not
more than twenty cases are now in

says.
