 Senatorial Puzzle
 The case of Senator John w. Dunn is very peculiar. He is such q fine man, and so often right on general principles that his course on the Controller Bill has puzzled everybody, even John Pegues who nearly kissed him when Dunn spoke against the idea of leaving the at torney general on the Board
 Dunn is for the Bill, with the governor as the head of the Board and the attorney general off. Can anybody feature that? The best ex- planation that can be made is that somebody or something has gotten him off his balance. He even re- sents getting petitions from groups Of citizens asking him to support the bill.
 School Bill Gets Hard Shedding
 House Bill No. 10 introduced by Representative Paul, is not having such clear sledding in the Senate. There some wish to limit the Ter ritorial aid for schools to $30,000 instead of taking off the limit as proposed in the first place. The people who favor that limitation ar que in affect that it is alright to give the little owns all the help they want, but not so with the big towns. But why should citizen have to be penalized when he moves from the country to the city? Nobody knows.
 The Controller Bill
 Teh Controller Bill, designed to give the people of Alaska the means of running their own Territorial af- fairs, was defeated in the Senate by a tie vote, Brown, of Nome, Steel, of Juneau, Frame, of Anchorage, and Hunt of Ketchikan, voting for the Bill; Jensen, of Nome, Howard, of Anchorage, Dunn and Pratt of the Fourth Division voting against l 1t.
 The arguments of the opponents are famous principally for what they did not say about the bill. Jensen told how rapidly the Natives oi Alaska are advancing, progressing more in forty years than the whites had in four centuries" Dunr resented the fact that the bill haC been drawn before the legislature had convened, and also resented the petitions and telegrams coming from interested bodies of citizens in his Division, and he declared the bill was scheme whereby the "politi- clans of the First Division" were to run the Territory. Pratt said that since the federal official who would lose duties was the governor, there fore the supporters of the bill must have it in for the governor ct is now clear why Pratt refused to SUD- port Dunn's amendment to put the governor in the bill in place of the Attorney General-he merely trick ed the single-minded John Dunn by keeping in the bill the one thing that Dunn detested.) Howard ram bled as usual, so much so that the Representatives left when he began chewing his cud the third term. His objection seemd to be against the attorney general in the bill and the fact that people in the Third Divi- sion were sending him telegrams urging support for the bill, and personal resentment because Dele gate Sutherland had gone to An chorage presumably to work up in tcrest in the Controller Bill.''
 . Howard and Dunn both declared that they would vote for the Bill if 'sthe governor was on the Board" Citizens who have heard these men and observed them do not place the

FIRE PREVENTION
IN FORESTS URGED
Woods in Rural Districts Heavily
Damaged, Chief Forester
Greeley Warns.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With the closing of Fire Proven
ton week, proclaimed by President
Coolidge for October to Is, inclusive,
Chief Forester William b. Greeley
said yesterday the problem of keeping
the "red menace" out of the woods de-
served a considerable part of the at"
tention being given to the general
fire prevention campaign.
Direct damage caused by forest
fires reported during 1926 amounted
to approximately $26. 100000" he said.
Special attention should be devoted
to the prevention of fires In rural dis
tricts and in our forests. Because of
their limited facilities, they are often
at the mercy of the flames when fire
originates. That the rural districts are
heavy sufferers from forest fires is in
dicated by the fact that the southern
and lower Mississippi Valley States,
where much of the timber is on farm
lands, had the record last year for the
largest number of woods fires. The
South is just now entering on the dan.
gerous Fall forest fire season, and it
is urged that every effort be made to
keep down this years damage"

This is only minor detail, however,

Ont of the PAST

A local playwright, lately returned
from Hollywood, relates an experience
with one of the high officials of a
super-movie company with whom he
discussed that burning question, the
uplift of the films. The official
strode up and down his luxurious
room.
"We are not afraid to spend money
profusely to put the motion picture
on higher level" he declaimed, with
an accent CLOSED over by much prac-
tice in super-declaiming. "Our con-
Germ with the commercial value Of
our product is really secondary. For
the advancement OF our art we are
prepared to sacrifice"
Suddenly he stopped, seized the
visitor by the coat lapel and riveted
his eyes on that object.
"Phooie!" he calculated. "Such a
rotten job for buttonhole / couldn't
believe it!'

THE EMERGENCY AND THE
ROADS
prescott Courier)

PRESCOTT
The clause under which Governor
Hunt proclaimed an emergency for
the reconstruction of bridges was con-
ditions due to an act of God" the
thought being that the rains which a
year ago washed some of them away
was a natural cause, although the
floods came at time when the high
way department should have in hands
sufficient funds to make the repairs.
The whole road department probably
can be financed the same way, for a
very far-fetched construction can be
placed upon the clause.
In the final analysis, every move
ment of mankind can be traced to ian
act of God," for humankind, at least
in the Quaker viewpoint, functions
with divinity as the handspring Of all
action.
Thus, the deadlock with the legisla-
ture, the refusal of the governor to ac-
cept any legislation for highway work
that did not meet his wishes and the
failure of the lawmakers to do as he
willed, can be removed from the trend
Of human thought (Which is not self
directed), and laid at the door of the
OIGdLOI. LII LIllS WlSO1 IAiSIC SclIl NC
proclaimed an emergency all around
and special levies can be demanded
for all legislation not procured, and
until the cows come numbering home
The governor should proclaim an
emergency for the executive depart
ment, since the appropriation failed
to give him what he asked, and set
forth as reason "an act of God" in
not moving the spirits of. the legis-
lators" to see things as hea visioned
them.
True, there was a delay in proclaim
ing an emergency on the Apache
Trail, but to "an act of God" could be
ascribed the failure of the highway
department to carry out its contract
with the Salt River Valley Water
Users association, and if the AL
mighty does have jurisdiction over the
road departments minds (that is neal
sacrilege), the placing of responsible
ity could be excused. Anyway, the
law is on the Arizona statute books
and its meaning can be as wide as the
range of human imagination, and ther
some
God created the earth, and to Hin
can be given responsibility for every
movement upon it.

THUMB PRINTS NEEDED ON THE
CORRAL GATE KEY

Governor Hunt has called another one Of his
special sessions of the state legislature to meet
at Phoenix on what promises to be the hottest
day of the year-next Monday. He does not say
how long they should convene, but from the ma
ture of his call in which he asks the legislature to
only pay up the outstanding indebtedness of the
state highway department, naming each claimant,
it would appear that he was not especially honin'
for their society so much as he requiring their
immediate action as directed; In other words he
wants them to reimburse and disperse.
Two calls four in most poker games and II we
guess right this gathering of heated legislators,
called together to sanction the governors procla-
nation and rat or de-ratify same, are going to
cause more trouble They may construe the gov
ernor's call to include state highway commission
empowered to pay off the claimants. Thus pass
the buck back to the governor all tied up in sack
ready with the money to deliver but providing
who and how it shall be paid The accounts ap-
proved by the governor may be questioned as to
delivery and price and quality of goods delivered.
Or it might be necessary to employ some eastern
auditing concern to go over the books of the high
way department and check them up as the Gore
company of Chicago attempted to do, which COM
pany narrowly escaped crucifixion between two
parts of two political parties when they came to-
gether rather Unexpectedly.
Just what attitude the legislature will take no
one knows at this time, but since q legislature IS
supposed to be the representative body of the
people at large with power only limited by their
mental ability, we have reason to believe when
they agree toisavage the highway department for
some 100000 dead-horse debts there will be
some record of thumb prints on the corral gate
key.

REMARKS OF THE GANG
QUITS IN DISGUST
Mesa Tribune


Further proof that the people are
not being allowed to get at the facts
of the Colorado River controversy,
and that for purposes of political and
private gain the truth is being kept
as dark as the muddy waters of that
turbulent stream, is afforded by the
resignation of E. G. LaRne, head of
the Pasadena branch of the United
States Geological Survey. After 20
years of Government service, LaRue
has quit in disgust. In SO doing he
charges that he was 'muzzled" when
he attempted to point out the folly OF
building the first dam at the lower
end OF Grand Canyon.
& Probably no man alive knows as
much about the Colorado River as
LaRue. For several years he has done
little but. study It's possibilities and
gather data He IS The author OF a
volumlnous book on the subject, pub
lished in 1929 and later supplemented
by other reports and suggestions.
From the first LaRue mas opposed
the Boulder Canyon scheme as extra
VACANT and far less practical than sew
erai other plans.
1t was LaRue who first suggested
dam at Glen Canyon, near the head
of the vast chain of gorges known col
lectlvely as the Grand Canyon. lie
contended that a control dam should
be built at the upper end fIrst and
then any number OF power dams con-
Istructed in slack water below. Here
| in the Salt River Valley we know that
without the Roosevelt dam to regu-
late the flow of Salt River, the cost
of building the power dams at Horse
Mesa ana Mormon Flat would have
been far greater. The same situation
exists in the Grand Canyon, only on
far greater scale. Build your up
per dam first is principle OF engl-
neering well understood by any irri-
gator who has tried to plug a gopher
mole.
LaRue was also the author of q
plan to carry gravity water from Glen
Canyon to California, the canal to
run through the southern ends OF
| Utah and Nevada. For some reason
this idea has been given far less pub
licity than the Arizona nighttime can
al, possibly simply because it would
work and the high-lineNS wouldn't. On
perhaps LaRue simply lacks a George
Maxwell.
Last summer LaRue was called tc
Washington before the Congressiona
committee investigating the Colorado
River. He told the committeeman q
lot of truths which somebody evident
~ did not want to have too wide cir
culation. At any rate, he says that
shortly after that hearing he was 81
fenced by the Government. Now he
feels that his usefulness is at an end
California cannot charge that La
Rue is foreigner from Arizona OF
some other savage wilderness who is
prejudiced by birth and environment
against her. He is a native of Riv-
erside and a graduate of the. Uniyer-
sity of California.

within the area many less striking OBJ
iects of natural interest that would
be premier attractions in any country
were they not overshadowed by such
greater spectacles as, those which have
been mentioned.
This wonderful scenic area of the
southwest will come into general rec
ognition and appreciation when it has
been made thoroughly accessible
through the medium ssOf good roads.
1t will then attract tens or thousands
of tourists annually. 1t will become
known as "The Playground Of Amer
ica."
The whole problem is one of roads.
Utah and Colorado have seen the pos
sibilities. They have laid out their
road programs to provide easy access
to all of the great attractions within
their borders, and to meet the future
logical expansion of the road system
of Arizona.
Arizona is tagging behind in this
development Every dollar invested
by the state in building roads to make
accessible this supreme scenic and
climatic attraction, will return a hum
dred fold.
There are two definite roads that
must be constructed by Arizona to
connect up with the highways Of
Utah and Colorado in order to pro-
vide. access to the manifold attrac-
tions of this marvellous 500 mile circle.
They are the connecting highways to
be built north and south from the
Grand Canyon bridge, and the road
from Flagstaff through the north
east corner of the state by way Of
Tuba City and Kayenta to connec-
ton with the Utah-Colorado system
of improved highways.

HIGH PRICES

1t is now generally admitted that in the United
States we are living in an era of high wages and
general prosperity But the calamity howiers like
to counter all references to the good times our
working men are enjoying by stating that even
if wages are higher the cost of living is rising just
as fast and that the worker is therefore better
off than he was fifteen years ago.
The economists who advocate the high wage
system and the protective tariff system as the
Way to promote nations economic welfare say
that even so the high wage system is better for
the reason that first of all the American worker
is producer rather than consumer IN the final
analysis, and that he is therefore better able to
lay away an extra dollar for the rainy day in
times of high wages, high prices and steady en-
ployment, than he is in an era of low wages, low
prices and unstable employment.
But it would seem now that even this last al1bl
of the increasing cost of living is to be taken away
from the pessimists. For according to the ma
tional conference board which has made an ex-
costs are high the family income has increased
faster than the cost of living since 1914, and will
therefore go one third farther in providing for the
family than it would in the alleged good old days
before the war.
Here is something to think about, and it bears
some assurance for the future AS matter of
fact the purchasing power of the dollar has in
creased during the past two years. 1t now buys
GIL per cent as much as it did in 1914, as COM
pared with fifty per cent only few years ago.
But that is only half the story. The weekly earn
ingS of wage workers. because of higher wages
and steadier employment are more than twice as
high as they were in 1914, so that the average
worker, even with the higher cost of living can
buy third more than he did in 1914 And the
purchasing power of his wages is increasing rela-
lively and not decreasing.
Here is the best answer possible to the low
tariff low wage, low cost of living advocates.
Again it may be said that the proof of the pud-
ding is the eating thereof

WE PAY FOR SHIRKING OUR
RESPONSIBILITIES

Maricopa county has a good community idea
and one that would be great saving. There is a
move on foot there to consolidate the city and
county administration building into When
one stops to think of it we are all one people and
the more divisions and departments of govern
ment we make the more we pay and the more com
plicated is our local government. We complain
bitterly of paying high taxes and all so that some
one can be given salary to supervise our every
act We seemingly are afraid to trust ourselves
to do the things we should do as reasoning think
ing beings in governing ourselves in the best in
terests of all.
We, the people, are too willing to shirk our re-
sponsibilities, hoping the law will do it if we vote
for more laws. We pay more for our overhead Of
ficia supervision trying to avoid responsibility,
and O, how we complain Of the taxes we vote onto
ourselves.
