UNIFORM TRAFFIC RULES WOULD
REDUCE ACCIDENTS

Uniform traffic laws for pedestrian and driver
should be adopted throughout the United States.
In one state where records show that for every
thousand automobiles in the state, one person is
killed each year and seven are injured, there is
a loss of more than 500, 100000 year traceabe
to street and highway accidents.
AS long as one city has one set of traffic laws
while the next city has different regulations,
there will be a heavy traffic toll. With the great
amount of tourist traffic. uniform laws should not
be confined to the cities of single state, but
should be adopted by all states
In no field is there such conspicuous waste of
both time and life as that caused by accidents on
our streets and highways.
Realizing the Importance of the movement to
prevent automobile accidents, politicians have hit
upon the idea of compulsory automobile liability
insurance which, in theory, would "pay" for ac-
cidents after they have happened. The idea does
not seem to work out as well as it sounds on paper.
And even if it did, compensation is not nearly so
important as prevention of accidents.
Enactment of uniform traffic regulations
throughout the country, and their enforcement,
would probably do more than anything else to
curb automobile accidents.
The traffic rules of Flagstaff are flagrantly
violated and it is a wonder there not more
accidents than there are on the streets. Some
signal and some don't when they boldly pull out
into the traffic from the side of the street It is
up to all others to look out for themselves when
this class of drivers decide to move out.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

forgiven for replying that service is
exchanging merchandise for dollars
and throwing in grin"
1t is really more than this, how
ever.
It has been pointed out that the
very best example of service may be
obtained at the gasoline filling sta
ton: you drive up and ask for five
gallons of gas. You not only get the
five gallons Of gas, but you get fresh
air, water in your radiator, directions
as to the correct road to take from
that point on, and such little extra
attentions as having your windshield,
radiator cap and gasoline line guage
busted by a smiling young man in a
white coat who politely but firmly
declines the proffered tip for the
service. This is service; giving just
a little more than you are paid for
and something that the recipient does
not ask or expect, but which pleases
him because of its very unexpected
ness and makes him want to do you
service in return and will, for this
reason, bring him back at some fu-
ture time.

RISE OF THE RURAL PRESS
(The Manufacturer)

The most remarkable feature of
American journalism is the growth,
development and influence of the
country weekly newspaper and small
town daily. Fifteen to 25 years ago
practically all of these representa-
tives of the smaller cities and towns
consisted of poorly printed sheets
of local items and boiler plate. To-
day look at them. The great major
ity are clearly printed; they carry
certain amount of the more impor-
tant national and international news
along with the strictly local columns;
they are filled with advertising; most
important, they have editorial col
umns.
Above all, this last cannot be ex-
aggerated. From mere reporters of
town happenings, they have risen to
an important, possibly the most i'm
portant place as leaders of thought
and comment on local, state and ma
tional problems. Their opinions are
usually we'll founded and intelligent.
They sway politics, industrial and
business progress, and national af-
fairs in large way.
1t would be well for the average
citizen to better appreciate the char
acter and influence of the rural
press. 1t may give him another slant
on the reason for Americas unpre-
cedented progress.

archaeology.
Yet the editor of paper that
claims to be the States greatest, and
rather sets itself up as an oracle, in
quired sarcastically how, if those In
dams were prehistoric, anybody knew
that they called themselves Hohokum.
We have here in Arizona the foun-
dation for great and distinctive cul-
ture of our own, but for most part
it is being ignored. A few outsiders
like Mary Austin have come and have
seen with seeing eyes, and have sue
ceeded in setting down on paper and
canvas small part of what they
have seen and felt. But 80 per cent
of Arizonans might as well live in
Timbuctoo for all they know about
their own state.

TAxEs-APPARENT AND HIDDEN

Every income Garner in the United States pays,
on the average at least $3.50 per year in taxes OF
one sort OF another, in other words about dollar
day. says William Bennett Munro, professor OF
municipal government in Harvard university.
People who own property and earn large In
comes are the ones who actually hand the collector
him, for the most part, money which they have
collected from Others.
''The owner of the apartment house collects
taxes from his tenants in the form of rent; the
storekeeper collects taxes in the price of his goods,
the lawyer and the doctor collect taxes when they
charge fees. Taxes are an element in the cost of
everything an element just as certain as interest,
wages, or profit.
Taxes do not usually stay where they are
levied. They are shifted from one shoulder to an
other until they finally reach someone, usually

PARACHUTES SOON AS COMMON AS
UMBRELLAS

The development Of aviation bids fair to be as
rapid and as consequential to the business affairs
of the country as was the automobile. We believe
Flagstaff should awaken to the fact and secure
an air port along with the rest of the enterprsing
cities of the country.
The automobile only considered as fad
and a useless contraption for few years. Twenty
years ago we saw one of the "fads" and it was a
'scontraption." It could never be used success
fully or commercially in this section of the coun-
try.
There is no argument among US old timers now
as to whether the automobile is aacommercial sue
cess.
It will be only very few years from now when
the airship will be as common as the automobile
is now.
Flagstaff can no more afford to be left off air
routes than it can be left off a transcontinental
highway.
Old timers had to be blindfolded and backed
into an automobile for few years. They don't
now.
1t may be necessary for short time to employ
the same process with us remaining old timers,
but it won't be long before wen take the air like
we are taking our gasoline.

IGNORANCE OF ARIZON ANS
mesa Tribune)

Arizonans are continually being eX-
asperated by fresh proof that the
east still regards this State as a
desert waste of sand and cactus, in
habited chiefly by wild Indians, out
laws, cowboys, iackrabbits and rattle
snakes. We complain that the nation
at large has an utterly false concep-
tion of conditions as they exist here.
Yet, when we get right down to
cases, we can't blame those eastern
ers for not knowing very much about
Arizona. The percentage of Arizo-
ans who know anything at all about
Arizona's rich and romantic history
is too small to be worth mentioning.
And too many of US are almost COM
pletely ignorant of its flora and fau-
ma, even of its topography, although
the "See Arizona First" movement
has had the effect of disseminating
considerable geographical informa-
ton.
About a year ago someone down in
Mexico wrote to State official ask
ing if there was much "pitahaya" in
Arizona. The official read the word
as "pitahaza" and confessed to the
newspapers that he didn't know what
his correspondent ws talking about.
Headed stories were published in the
Phoenix dailies, specializing upon
what "pitahaza" might be. More
than week elapsed before some read
er stepped forth and sggested mildly
that perhaps the writer of that let
ter had been referring to ''pitahaya," "
the name of a Mexican variety of our
common saguaro cactus. The COM
mon name of pitahaya is organ-pipe
cactus, and it grows in many parts
of Southern Arizona.
A few days ago press correspon-
dent at Tucson sent out a story about
the discovery of some prehistoric
ruins left by the "Hohokum Indians. !"
The correspondent may or NAV not
have known that "Hohokum" is q
Pima word meaning "those who died"
or "those who went away" and is the
name given to the unknown builders
Aof such ruins as Casa Grande, but
his meaning was quite clear to any

Flagstaff's golf statewide tournament will be

said this disease was invented in Scotland by q
Jew Reports also say that many kindly man
who never beat his wife before is now playing
golf Again it is currently reported that Scotch
man opened his pocketbook in September and a

the Jews out of the game by wearing plus-4s. The
Jews demand plus-10s. We understand local en-
thusiasts sponsoring the game are looking fs

BRAKES TOO ECSTATIC?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if Mr.. Tom Edison
and Mr. Henry Ford, who have attained that age
where rheumatic joints and kindred ailments have
brought along with their years, knowledge that
will permit them to invent method of preventing
squeaky brakes. Please, Tom and Henry, even If
the invention won't stop the squeaks of rheuma-
tisn, invent some way Of preventing automobile
brakes from notifying the world that the driver
thereof, male or female as the may be, is en-
deavoring to halt the bus in that hemisphere.
Don't wait to be urged. If you invent something
to take the static outa automobiles mebby it could
be used to help rheumatism amongst us aged

WEEKS BEST EDITORIAL
(Herald, Winter Park, Fla.)
ln a Little More

Some time ago while passing
through the city of Charleston was
accosted by a small darkey boot
black with his challenging "Shine EN-
up, sub 2" Just then another ap-
peared on the scene quite determined
to secure my patronage. Believing
in the value of honest competition,
said, (Which gives the more for the
money!" One said, Il gies you a
good shine, suh!' The other replied,
Il give you good shine, sings you
a little song and does you a little
dance" / closed Immediately with
the latter who fulfilled his pledge
with fidelity, proving himself YER
satile artist.
/ confess to a great admiration of
the man, boot-black or banker, who
does little more, who gives a little
more than the law demands, and who
finds in the process a real satisfac-
tion. Most of US prefer to deal with
the merchant who gives down
weight" He never lacks customers.
Nobody loves the man who is precise
and exact to the uttermost farthing.
In the long run he who does a little
more than he is supposed to do goes
forward to increasing business. The
student who studies a little harder
than is necessary to make passing
grade is in fair way of getting an
education, for his sense Of privilege
exceeds his sense of obligation. Not
what | must do, but what | may do
is the distinction between a slave and
free man. To work after the clock
strikes the quitting hour, to earn a
little more salary than your salary
represents, to hang on to a difficult
problem when everyone else gives
up in despair, that is the spirit that
weaves a golden thread into the web
of life and makes it fine.
Someone said that Wellington's sol
diers were no braver than the sol
diers of Napoleon, but that they were
brave for 80 minutes longer. 1t was
the 80 minutes more that turned the
tide of battle from defeat to victory.
Go where you will, into all the great
enterprises of life and you viii find
that the superb heroisms belong to
those who work little more, who
think a little harder, who endure a
little longer.
The great Teacher of mankind once
spoke of "good measure, heaped up,
pressed down, shaken together and
running over" He also said, IF one
compel you to go with him one mile,
go with him two" That is one of the
insignia of royal living: to convert
an obligation into an opportunity and
to glorify a necessity by translating
it into a gracious service. Do your
own bit and a little bit more, and see
how it works!

ADVERTISING

Advertising and not competition is now the life
of trade, according to the advertising experts who
met ir~Denver to attend the International Adver-
tising association convention. The delegates at
this meeting heard number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement by Charles
Stelzle, New York expert, to the effect that II
churches do not advertise their ware spiritual
upbuilding and moral betterment for both the in
dividual. and humanity--they cannot hope to
arouse interest among the masses and fulfill the
obligations placed upon them as parties to the gen.
eral spiritual movement
Another speaker declared that advertising IS
greater than any single moral force we know OF
today Advertising brings about changes for the
betterment of life itself, changes which fuse into
the social and political life of the nation.
1t is now generally admitted by economic forces
everywhere that advertising is the most import
ant development of modern business And 1t is
also coming to be realized that newspaper adver-
tising is the best kind of paid publicity. In the
convention just mentioned the delegates, who
were advertising experts, agreed that newspaper
advertising affords the best publicity medium for
the churches and all church activities.
Advertising is no longer a theory. 1t is sci
ence, And it pays.

BRING ON JESSE JAMES
(Nogales Herald)

If the story books and the tales of
our grandfather are true the outlaws
Of the Jesse James type occasionally
had little spark Of honor. But the
modern asphalt bandit has no honor,
no fairplay, no self-respect. The dis
patches give accounts of too many
peace officers being killed or wound
ed without any provocation or with
out any expectancy or occasion for
the act.
No first-class "bad man" will en-
gage in a one-sided battle. The Grim
inal of today is not worthy of the
name bandit" "Cowardly scum of
the earth" is even too good name
for him. There is no criminal of
1927 good enough to be recorded in
history, much less to be the subject
of heroism. If even the worst is
true, Jesse James would be a credit
to most of the thugs of the present
time, some of whom are protected by
law, pampered by juries, sympathized
with by the unsuspecting.
