LET'S GET BACK TO ROCK BOTTOM

Our sincere hope is that the legislature puts
the state of Arizona back on cash basis. The
people are rather financially fatigued paying not
only for dead horses but having the odlferous-
ness thereof hanging about in the air Ii it is
necessary to make the state tax rate $1.5O, all
well and good provided the money thus raised is
used to take up the slack and get us out Of the
financial political morass we seem to have got
ten into BY jockeying the tax rate for political
propaganda.
just who is responsible for the rate" in differ
ent years isn't of half as much interest to the gen.
eral run of taxpayers as is the interest on the in
terest they are paying for the lack OF interest
taken during our "buy-annuaP' elections.
There should be some way for the legislature
finding out just where the state is at finan-
cially.
1t is not our idea to rave about what it has cost
us to run the state, much a sincere desire to
ascertain how we got that way and apply q sound
financial remedy.
The state highway department seems to have
highway of getting by. 1t claims it is solvent.
Other figures seem to indicate it is $650,000
in the red
The state constitution says the state can not go
The highway department claims it isn't bound
by any such limitations.
Some $4,000 was spent few years ago for an
audit of the highway department. Nothing came
of that. The old smoke is still coming up here
and there through the debris What happened,
why or how is still befuddement in the minds Of
the people
We believe we voice the sentiment of the great
majority of the people of the state when we sug-
gst that an honest cleaning of the state is due.
We do not suggest that Arizona has been
robbed and that some one should be jailed We
inclined to believe that we are not so bad off
as to results obtained, but some one has done a
rotten job of bookkeeping Otherwise the finan-
cial condition of the state could be ascertained.
It may be impossible with the different mill,
gasoline, inheritance and other taxes slipped into
our laws, to find out what we are paying, but it is
up to the state legislature to dig into details and
formulate some plan that will give the average
citizen some idea of where the money comes from
and what is being done with it,
Just think whats a mess a new state like Arizona
can get into in such short time.
Our only hope is that all of us demand a
financial showdown and get back to rock bottom.

"A GOOD THING FOR THE LAWYERS

The legislative proposal that provision be made
whereby attorneys can undertake the collection of
delinquent taxes in Arizona and get LEI per cent of
what they procure should be welcomed by the
lawyers even if it is slap in the face for the
various county attorneys IN the state, who are
charged with such responsibility.
To date, the delinquent taxes of Arizona are
approximately 900, and 15 per cent of that
would be $3.50, ,000--three quarters OF million
dollars. Naturally, all Of the total never can be
collected now, as some Of it is nearly five years
old but the bulk Of it could be obtained But take
the $750,000 and put it against the salaries paid
the fourteen county attorneys since 1922, and see
how far it would go toward covering the whole.
They are paid $4,000 q year-1lot enough, to be
Isure-which makes $4,000 for the state each
year, and five times that is S210000 This shows
that, by diligence, the county attorneys could have
made enough in the last five years to have paid
the salaries they receive for more than fifteen
years.
Whatever Of the delinquent taxes that are not
recovered will be added to the taxes Of those who
did pay, In some way; thus, the taxpayers who
contributed to the support of the state are penal
lied for their promptness.
In some instances the assets upon which the
tax levies were made five years ago have van
ished entirely and nothing will come of these
cases. just how much of the estimated S5,00O00O
total can be gathered in, no can say, but it is
In any event, attorneys will be eager to tackle the
job of forcing payment especially the ones who
have no political ambition. Inasmuch as county
attorneys of the past have taken no action, the
legislators may conclude they will not do SO in the
future, and there is a probability that the meas
ure will be adopted. 1t is worthy of adoption, any

BORAH-AND THE BORED
lLos Angeles Timesl

There are some who wonder just
what Senator Borah thinks now of the
Nicaragua situation. He snorted; he
frothed at the mouth; he lacerated
the atmosphere and broadcast sonor-
Gus roars.
The president adjusted matters in a
quiet, unobtrusive, business-like man
ner that punctured the Borah bal
loon. Few politicians have made
more spectacular ascents and returned
in swifter collapse.
1t is quite remarkable how belliger-
ent some pacifists are. They will have
peace if they have to fight for it. As
statesman Borah is a great buster
er.
He shows signs of trying to manu-
facture cause to be a candidate for
something or other. IF some men had
more discretion they would realize
that they are but animated fog horns.
Frequently they are not reliable as
fog-horns; they often declare q fog
under clear skies.
If he had stood by any administra-
tion even occasionally Borah might
receive credit for intermittent patriot
ism. When he chronically seeks TO
discount the president he creates the
impression that he is a knocker by
profession.
His attitude is indicative of being
manhandled by the bouncer. If he
were not always at the outs he might
sometimes be in.
That he is always at the core of the
hubbub suggests that he is the chief
irritation. He advances in his ag-
gressivenes like a man with wooden
leg stuck in a knot hole in board
walk. There is movement; but it is
always in a circle.
He sometimes fastens his tentacles
upon a good cause; but immediately
brings suspicion upon it by his

Borah is not so much a statesman
as a disease. He would be happy II
he could become contagion. But
thus far he is but spasm that goes
off periodically. Up to this hour there
is no remarkable evidence that it will
be catching.
He takes himself so seriously at
times that he seems to imagine that
he twinkles the stars, enarnels the
moon and shines the sun. In the end
he proves to be but fireworks.
He frequently furnishes a stunt in
the congressional vaudeville; but, out
side of stage flop over loose
board, nothing ever tips up when he
steps. He lacks genius to weld his
friends into an igneous mass. Other
wise he might hurl them against some
ancient and intrenched wrong. As it
is, when he attempts to do any hurl-
ing he always finds himself with a
handful of swirling sand. He does
sometimes manage to throw some into
the eyes of innocent bystanders.
He is becoming bore to many of
his countrymen who desire clear think
ing and constructive criticism. How
ever, the man who rocks the boat will
some day tumble out backward and,
outside of little splash, the world
will wag on as before.

LET US SPRAY
(El Paso Herald)

TIL HaS0 I1efdluJ
1t is noted that severcal newspapers
in the east have closed down rather
vigorously on the Peaches" Brown
ing case, apologizing to their readers
for the salacious testimony already
printed.
This is d wholesome stand to take
and the newspapers are to be COM
mended for deciding to stop printing
matter Of a highly Objectionable ma
ture, although filth even worse may
be tolerated in the theaters of our
greatest cities.
Readers should know that we, out
in this part Of the country, have not
received anything ike the testimony
in the Browning case as published in
some of the eastern papers. They
have presented the question-and-an-
swef testimony practically in full,
reams of it, and some of the more
sensational papers have printed it
with little or no attempt at expurga-
ton.
News associations bringing news of
the Browning trial to the southwest
have delivered columns Of it, to be
sure. But by leaving out the worst of
it, by paarphrasing parts not quite so
unwholesome, and by quoting direct
testimony only of a rather innocuous
character, they managed to keep it
within the realm of decent reading.

THE GRAND CANYON HIGHWAY

reau of Public Roads that the new survey made a
year or so ago for road connecting the Old Trails
Highway with Grand Canyon, that the proposed
road would pass through 41.474 per cent of pri-
vate lands; 6.82 per cent national park; 1856 per
cent national forest land and only 1856 per cent
of public domain. Since the national park service
viii build that portion within the park the real
figures should read national forest land $3.50 per
cent private holdings 44.50 per cent; public do
main, 1891 per cent Taking these figures into
consideration and the fact that the old Maine high
way is partly constructed and already an official
county road, though no money has been spent on
it lately, there is reason to believe the newly
surveyed route could hardly be classed as the best
route of the two. 1t is mainly over public domain.
