WE MUST WATCH OUR STEP

The popular way to fame seems to be to pro-
pose some revolutionary scheme which would de-
stroy an industry or deprive large numbers OF IN
dividuals of their personal or property rights.
Writers or politicians who would upset our whole
business structure, but who can guarantee no
practical Substitute for established practices, get
wide publicity and are heralded as brainy men,
great friends of the people.
The executive who has to figure out practical
plans for producing and distributing product,
who has to show profit his operations in or
capital for additions and betternents to his plant,
who has to pay the taxes to carry out every
scheme that is proposed which makes it harder for
him to do business, too often painted as an en-
emy of the people.
What a contrast! One man is a nOn-producer.
a non-empoyer and a taX-absorber The other is
q producer, an employer and a taxpayer. The
first is heralded with brass bands and his utter
ances occupy pages of newspaper and magazine
space The other passes by unnoticed. If the
first man with his flowery speeches and lmprac-
tical ideas, for public office as an opponent OF
the producer, the taxpayer and the employer, he
would probably be elected on the ground that he
did not represent sbig business as did his oppo-
nent. The road to public popularity is too often
a path of destruction, because advocating con-
structive policies is not sensational.
The man who builds hundred million dollar
industry is often looked upon with suspicion. The
man who destroys hundred million dollar indus
try gets pages of publicity, and lays the founda-
ton for political future.
As a people we are not quite so easily fooled as
we used to be, but we must watch our step if we
prevent the non-producer in politics from Grip
pling our industrial machine which is now firing
on all six cylinders as it never did before.

LAW OR BRAINS

Just how best to help the farmer by legislation
is one of the most difficult of national problems.
Politicians are prone to frame up bill which will
catch votes among farmers. A proposed law
which may seem to farmers fine proposition
in theory. However, law fixing prices cannot
regulate the supply and demand If the McNary-
Haugen bill could be made into law, there would
be no reason why the people of the United States
could not be taxed to support newspapers, plumb
erS, carpenters, contractors or any other element
of society not working for wages President
Coolidge suggests in his veto of this political
'fix-it' bill, that brains are not exactly detri-
mental in any walk of life. Having teaSed lacteal
fluid away from female cows at o'clock a. m.
and pulled unfriendly weeds away from corn-roots
when the August sun was boring holes through
our shoulder blades before B. ". DIS were invent
ed, are constrained to believe that no political
invention so far contrived will help the fellow who
can't or won't help himself.
The farmer is the great, vast unorganlzed ele-
ment of the United States. They could and us
ualy do, live on their own and supply food for the
rest of the country.
They know that when copper, silver and gold
gets too plentiful, yes, autos railroads and many
other commodities the financial brains of the
country shut down on an excessive supply.
The farmers of the country are about the only
element Of society left out limb for the sim
pie reason they have not as yet been able to get
together and regulate the supply and demand OF
foodStuffs.
The farmer needs the help of the nation more
than any other class. He is more or less the VIC
tim of providence, weather, seasons and prices.
Mines shut down when mineral prices are not
good
The farmer can't quit when his crops are
planted His perishable goods may flood the mar
ket, or his crop may be failure on account of
weather conditions 1t is up to the farmers Of the
country to organize and stand pat for series of
years In the meantime provide storage for sur
plusage a market for graded produce, and, best
of all, plan of crops which will not over supply
the needs of the nation
It is not plan of easy accomplishment but it
is the only solution of the problem.
Fixing prices by law for produce would result
in fixed prices for lands and make poems of men.
Using law instead Of brains vii not help the farm
er or any other set of men.

GOD BLESS THOSE WHO WORK FOR
THEIR FELLOW MEN

Mayor Koch and the city council are now being
heartily congratulated by grateful people for
their energy, foresight and constant application
to the work of securing adequate water sup
ply.
There were many days of extreme worry and
hard thinking all for the good of the cause. 1t
was not the fault of the city council that the new
reservoir was not successfully completed and
filled with water last year. 1t is not their fault
that old Jupiter Pluvius failed to do his part dur
ing the past few months and give us our usual
complement of water.
The nagging criticisms of the naturally ignor-
ant and the wilfully ignorant against~those who
work, serve and worry for the public for nothing,
may be of value In one way at least. 1t brings to
the minds Of the thinking people how much they
owe to the men who bear the brunt of the public
burden and aWakenS them to a sense of apprecia-
ton. Just why perverted minds get gleeful
satisfaction out of impending trouble for whole
community is hard to understand. Seemingly
they do and gloat over it.
Now it is the turn of the loyal, progressive
people of Flagstaff to gleefuy gloat
Monday there were three million gallons of
pure snow water coming down the mountain
through the pipe lines, with promise of big
daily increase.
Yes, regardless of reports, there were no leaks
in the pipe line and the reservoirs were holding
water 1t may have been real silly to built an ad-
ditional reservoir during drought Those who
had hopes of the drought keeping up forever, were
sincere in their complaints against the raise in
taxes to provide plentiful supply of water.
plentiful supply of water for Flagstaff is bet
ter than rich gold mine Eventually it will pay
all our city taxes

A JUSTIFIABLE VETO
Tucson Starr

President Coolidge deserves the
warmest commendation for his cour-
age in vetoing the McNary- -Haugen
farm relief BILL It took courage to do
it because the pressure of political
expediency must have been terrific
He could have won votes by signing
it; he lost votes by vetoing it.
In vetoing the bill Mr.. Coolidge has
probably acted on the advice of COM
petent economists, for there was
scarcely an economist who was in
favor of it. They were not in favor
of it because it carried some extreme
ly dangerous provisions that in the
end would have caused more grief for
the farmer than those which he now
has to combat The whole purpose OF
the bill was to raise the prices Of ag-
ricultural products so that the farmer
could make a better return on his in
vestment. The trainers and support
ers of the bill seemed to be blind tc
the fact that if the prices of agricul,
ural products were raised it woulC
simply stimulate further production
and eventually would create such q
surplus as would break prices fan
more than they have been.
Too many people have gone into
farming as a result of the wartime
prices Too many farmers have
adopted the one crop method of farm
ing with the hope of making a good
profit. Overproduction has been the
result. Here in Arizona, for exam
pie, the matter of cotton growing has
been greatly overdone. There are cot

sURE-IF OUR CANDIDATE WINS

No criticism should lie against any officer or
employe of the state or the officer or employa of
any corporation in the state, or any individual in
the state, on account Of contributions made to the
campaign fund of any candidate, or to the cam
paign fund of any club or organization supporting
a candidate, PROVIDED SUCH CAMPAIGN
FUND so RAISED IS EXPENDED IN A LTGI-
INNATE MANNER. We see nothing reprehensi-
Die in employe of the state contributing to such
campaign funds. The democratic state central
committee had a deficit of several thousand dol
lars at the conclusion of the last campaign in Ari-
zona. State employees and other democrats are
today contributing to the treasurer of the demo-
cratic state central committee small monthly
amounts to be used in liquidating this indebted
ness. No doubt these democrats would be perfect
ly willing for some philanthropist to step in and
assume this party Indebtedness but thus far none
have appeared Tombstone Epitaph.
No latter day politician will deny Bills argu-
ment. But supposing "our fellows" lose? Who
is to agree upon whether or not the other fellow
spent his collections 4in legitimate manner?"
There's the rub.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

ton farmers in Arizona who use milk
from tin can that is imported from
California, who use butter from a
package sealed in Colorado, who buy
eggs from the grocery store which
imports them from California. Such a
program of agricultural production is
basically unsound. In the Salt River
valley today there are approximately
$4,000 cows whereas ten years ago
there were over $4,000. Today the
Salt River valley is suffering from
the low price of cotton. Fortunately
Borden has seen the vast possibilities
there and now plans a development of
dairy production which will do more
for that valley and Arizona than any
other one development. Cream and
milk are cash crops with daily returns.
How ridiculous it is for the state of
Arizona with the wonderful farms and
farmland it contains, to import the
major part Of its butter, milk, cheese
and eggs. Yet that is what the high
price Of cotton did. Stimulating cot
ton production still more will simply
decrease the price, while a sensible
curtailment will raise the price to a
pOiHC 4WnGFe Tie ISdI uiII 1dTIueE Can
make comfortable profit.
This same principle applies to the
middle west where the cotton and corn
of the nation grow High prices have
over-stimulated production and in
fIated the prices of farm land unduly
Further stimulation of production will
simply force prices to a still lower
level. That is why the president We
toed the McNary- -Haugen bill. II
would eventually do more harm thar
good.

LEGISLATIVE IMPAssE
douglas Dispatch)

\1OOS5s-.1 AJlSD1INI|
The house of representatives of the
Arizona legislature has crossed the
Rubicon, press dispatches relate, and
is preparing to outflank the governor
in the effort to reach an armistice
upon which treaty of peace may be
besed.
It must be admitted the house lead
ers chose stragetic battle-ground for
the engagement with the governor
when they picked on the state high
way department.
Judging from the report of the joint
house and senate committee on the
operations of the highway department
for the past few years, the governor
will find his position indefensible.
Standing out in. the open, where the
report of the committee has placed
him, the governor will be enabled to
erect no ramparts, or dig no trenches
for self protection.
In fact it appears that Gov. Hunt
will have to depend solely on gas
bombs in warding off the legislature,
and this form of defense is only good
when the wind is blowing towards the
attacking army. But if the enemy's
shots get too close, the governor can
be depended upon to create smoke
screen through which he may make
his escape if the vigilence of the legis-
lature is allowed to relax.
1t is apparent that the eighth Ariz-
ona legislature has come to an i'm
passe with the governor, and that
nothing but routine legislation will
be passed henceforth, unless the legis-
lature can effect a consolidation
strong enough to nullify vetoes.

WORKING FOR THE KING
(Arizona Record. Globe


A prominent New York newspaper
man has just embarked for Bankok,
Bankok Daily Mail, a newspaper
Siam He will become editor of the
Siam.
This New York newspaper man will
be the envy of his brothers in the
United States.
The Bankok Daily Mail is a paper
never critized in Bankok.
1T is understood that the penalty is
instant death for remarks like the
following:
"Say, King, / don't like that editor
ial this morning on the antinoise
ordinance. Stop my paper at once"
''Your majesty, / read that story
about the new sacred white elephant
in the Daily Bankok Liar three days
ago. You must be handy with the
shears"
"King, why don't you get some real
news in your rag? My mother-in-
law left for the country week ago
and you missed it"
'King, the kid didn't throw my
paper on the porch this morning, and
I'm going to cubscribe for the Bankok
Daily Howl next month"
"Y FOUR Royal Highness, why don't
your jelly-fish sheet take a decided
position on the short skirt question:"
king, why don't your good-for
nothing handbill boost Bankok more?
What we need here is a paper with
some pep"
So the editor is quite immune from
criticism. All he will have to do is
to pound out a few editorials every
day praising the king of Siam, the
queen of Siam, the princes, and
nobility, or the generals, and he can
get by. Nothing to worry about
until tomorrow.
The Bankok Daily Mail is the
greatest newspaper in Siam. 1t has
the largest sworn unsworn circulat-
ion. 1t never makes a mistake.
1t gives advertisers the best for their
money. 1t can run patent medicine
ads, rattle announcements and libel
any inferior geezer in Siam and get
away with it. When it says a man
is dead, he's dead, and if he isn't
dead, the only way he can come to
life is by the birth column.
It's a great thing to be editor Of the
Bankok Daily Mail. What news
paper man wouldn't accept the job ?

unable to resist the temptation to do little Chris

quarreling with the sexton over the relative value
of spades or diamonds Then he fused with the
ianitor as to whether a clinker-bar was better
game than poker Eventually Ernie got his hat
back but all that was in it was what he had left
when he took it off, Unlike Lazarus, the janitor
didn't want the residue which fell from the rich
mans table. If Dug comes to this reunion of US
Christians we promise him room and board, but

FARM BILL VETO
Albuquerque Journal)


President Coolidge showed admir-
able courage in the veto of the Nc
Nary -Haugen farm relief bill. He
could not do otherwise than disap-
prove the measure in view of the posi-
tion he has held all along as to farm
relief remedies. But there were some
persons who believed that he would
yield to political expediency and not
encourage the enmity Of the farmer
by a veto at time when the presi-
Dental campaign is just beginning to
loom on the horizon.
The president, however, has again
demonstrated that he will stick to
principles and what he believes is
right, regardless of his political fu-
ture. In the end, we believe he will
find that much of the propaganda in
favor of farm relief is manufactured
by the politicians. In the end we be-
lieve that the president will find that
the farmer is less concerned IN the
McNary-Haugen bill than the politi-
clans.
The presidents. veto asserted the
bills equalization fee on cotton, corn
wheat, rice, hogs, and tobacco amount
eu W ulSCIiHiiicitlOiy pA ASC 1lAlAS, ulie
was an economic fallacy, which woule
not benefit the farmer, but woulo
raise the cost of living and operate
to the injury of the general welfare
His opinion of the measure will be
seriously combatted by certain inter
ests in the middle west, but the JUS
tice of the presidents position and
the soundness of the old economic law
of supply and demand to which he ad
heres, will prevail in the minds of a
multitude of fair-minded farmers.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?
(NogaIes Herald)

An officer who was wounded in bat
tie is entitled thenceforth to all the
benefits that his country provides for
its defenders, regardless Of his origin.
Yet, under the existing law, some
of the disabled officers have been less
well treated than others, the reason
being that they were reserve, not
regular officers.
This discrimination against brave
men is unjust and discreditable to the
country. 1t is good news that The
house rules committee has given the
right Of way to a bill designed to
abolish the discrimination. If the bill
really will accomplish its purpose, it
ought to pass without negative
vote.
