duct in 1926

The sixth annual meeting of

ed for 100000 pounds, and milk
distributors disposed Of 100000
pounds to their patrons.
In order to transport this i'm
Irense poundage of butter. S,50S
refrigerator cars were employed.
In addition 28S cars Of sweet
cream were transported to ca f
ern and southern markets. Be-

WASTE OF DOLLARS

Highways in southern Minnesota
are not in the best possible con-
-dition, due to the thaw. Where
these roads are to be paved, the
t'thaw" could have no perceptible
effect on them-and the state and
automobile owners would profit
thereby. But there are people who
will not see the economical aspect
of the situation They are content
to force the highway department
to spread money over the roads

fore her marriage was Miss Isabel
Carpenter.
At various times during his resi-
dence here DR.. Purdy was city
and county physician and was also
consulting physician for the
Southern Pacific de Mexico rail
road. He stood high in the ranks
of his profession. Many years
ago while Santa Cruz County was
still a part of Pima County he ran
for the legislature from Pima
County. He was born in Florida,
raised in New York, graduated
from Bellevue Hospital College,
New York, and came to Nogales in
1884 shortly after the town was
started and right after it had been
mved up to the border from Gala
basas. After spending two years
here he went to South America,
then came back and remainded
here. He was one of the pioneers
present at the laying in 1887 of
the cornerstone for the old Monte
zrma Hotel building which was
torn down last year to make room
for erection Of the present Monte
yuma Hotel.
In politics, DR.. Purdy was al

ward Lowden Of Illinois. This
sentiment did not overshadow that
Of the president by any means
but it did run close second. The
vote was as follows:
Coolidge, 21; Lowden, 10, and
Hoover, 8. He also learned that
virtually every man who had Low
den for choice would, in the event
Coolidge was the nominee, vote
for the President for another term.
In the Kansas Democratic ranks
he found McAdoo the first choice
with % votes; Jim Reed of Mis-
souri,, second with 16; and Al
Smith of New York, third with s..
He found that both McAdoo and
Reed supporters in the majority,
would support the other candidate,
should their favorite fail for the
nomination. A very small per-
centage Of the McAdoo voters
would not admit they would sup
port Smith in event the New York
er walked off with the prize. But
"a good half of the Reed support
ers admitted they would vote for
Smith if he is the nominee.

SENATOR BETTWY
FAVORABLY MENTIONED

State Senator Andrew Bettwy,
son in-law Of DR.. w. F. Cheno-
weth, the Democratic candidate for
mayor, is mentioned in the follow
ing editorial appearing in the Feb
ruary issue of the Southwestern
Medicine, official organ of tn,
Arizona and New Mexico State
Medical Associations:
WERE WE GYPPED?'
"In connection with the Base
Science Bill, recently before the
Arizona Legislature, many mem
bers of the Senate had given the
friends of this legislation reason
to believe that they (the senators)
were ready to vote for it For that
reason, it was re-introduced after
being indefinitely postponed"
owe had reason to believe that
at least three members of the Pub
lie Health Committee of the Sem
ate (Senators Lyons, Wills and
Wylie) were prepared to report
favorably on this bill. When it
was reported unfavorably by this
Committee Senator Lyons excused
himself to his constituency in Gila
County by the statement that he
was the only member Of the Com
mittee who was willing to report
favorably. Physicians Of Pinal
and Cochise County who were SO
positive that Senators Wills and
Wylie were in favor of this bill are
asked to take notice Of this state
ment by Senator Lyons"
GAS the matter now stands,
there seems to be only one clear
headed champion of public health
in the Senate, and that Is Senator
Bettwy of Santa Cruz County.
This bill is clearly public health
matter, intended to protect the
public from exploitation by un-
qualified practitioners of healing
arts. The medical profession of
the state, who undertook to intro
duce this legislation and explain
it's purpose have either failed to
get the message across, or else
the legislative ears have been tun-
ed to different and less worthy
wave length.

Canouflaged Alien Regis
tration Bill Is Scored

"Camouflaged" alien registration
was the term applied by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union to the ma
turalization" bill introduced January
II by Representative Holiday. The
bill, which provides for voluntary"
registration of aliens to facilitate
their naturalization" is said by the
Union to be in effect the same alien
registration bill which was supported
by Congressman Albert johnson in
the last session of Congress and
which aroused a storm of protest.
DR.. Harry F. Ward, chairman of
the Union, charged that the new bill
would make registration compulsory
and not voluntary Aliens who re-
fused to register, he said, would find
1t impossible to get citizenship pa
pers. Mr.. Holiday claims that the
bill is designed to "gain information
on the number of aliens in the coun-
try and what has hindered their be-
coming citizens"
The new measure is also scored by
the newly formed National Council
for the Protection of Foreign Born
Workers, which labeled it "an open
ing wedge for compulsory registra-
ton and Prussian espionage system
IN America" The National Council
with headquarters at No. Al Union
Square, New York City, is composed
OF heads of labor organizations and
OF local councils of foreign born.

Staggering Figures of Ford
Dividends Revealed in Suit

Detroit. Staggering figures of the
dividends and earnings of the Ford
Motor company in the years preced-
ing 1919 went into the record of the
tax payers suit here Thursday over
the objection of government attor-
neys. The figures were that the
Ford company paid its stockholders
$96,000,000 in dividends in the first
16 years of its operation and that the
total earnings of the company for
that time was 1915, 927,275.
The government objected strenu-
Ously to the inclusion of the record
of any of the earnings of the compa-
ny following 1913 The appellants,
said A. w. Gregg, head counsel Of
the internal revenue department,
should put on the stand competent
witnesses to prognosticate what the
company's future was in 1918.
Judge Sternhagen, in overruling
the government objection, held that
the records subsequent to 1913 should
not be excluded entirely but should
be given consideration as corrobora-
tive testimony showing conditions in
1913.
