A New Scheme To
Trap Unwary Buyers

The evils of the endless chain"
method of selling merchandise sent to
local residents for distribution as
guarantee Of receiving $40 worth of
merchandise for 81, were pointed to
yesterday by Robert Hamilton, secre-
tary of the Bisbee Chamber of Com
merce.
Under the plan, the first customer
paid the company $4 for a receipt and
three coupons to be sold for 81 each
This customer is to keep the money
collected from the sale of coupons and
when each of the three purchasers
has sent in the coupons with SO, the
original customers may select without
additional cost, $40 worth Of mer-
8chandise. The coupon buyer receives
from the company receipts and cou-
pons and repeats the process.
While the company lives up to its
guarantee of sending the SO worth
of merchandise when the coupons and
money from three purchases have
been turned in, the residents fire.
quently overlap each other in small
community and will find no sale for
their coupons, Hamilton pointed out

WHAT THE MOTOR PILGRIMAGE
MEANS TO GREAT SOUTHWEST

The American Automobile associa-
tion estimates that during the sum
mer of 1927, 40,000,000 motor tour
lists will take to the highways in
search of adventure and pleasure.
Last year, reports indicatem36, ,000, 900
motorists travelled up and down the
country
Of the 100000 motor cars that
will carry this pilgrimage, probably
one-third will carry camping equip
ment and spend on an average of 33
days on the road. Two-t thirds of the
100000 will remain out 10 days
and depend upon hotel accommoda-
tions. Those who live under canvas
will spend an average Of SO day
while on the trip, or $1,000, 100000
this season. Those who use the ho-
tells will spend. about three times this
amount per day.
During 1926, it is estimated that
tourists left more than So, 100000
in the hands of those who served
them Probably $3,500,000,000 will
be spent this year
Two things are responsible for this
national nlovement-the motor vehicle
and concrete roads While the motor
vehicle carries the tourist from his
home to his vacation ground, it is the
road that determines where the tour
ist shall go, how far he can travel
within his time limits, and IN which
sections he will leave his money.
Most sections of the country pos
sess beauty spots of which they are
proud. If these beauty spots are cas-
inaccessible over paved roads the
tide of tourist traffic flowing into
them will increase year after year.
Records compiled by those in charge
of such Fairgrounds as pictured IN
this issue prove that the number Of
tourists visiting any section IS direct
ly proportional to the quality of the

GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE
SALT RIVER VALLEY

Grasshoppers in alarming numbers
have made their appearance at sew
eral points in the Salt River Valley,
and also. at Buckeye, but there will
be no free poison this year, accord
ing to an announcement made by D..
B. Wiley, manager of the Maricopa
county farm bureau
Gilbert and Litchfield both report
grasshoppers. w. T. Tweedy, of Gil
bert, states that the hoppers are num-
erous in his grain and alfalfa.
The farm bureau received fran
tic call from Buckeye to do the same
thing it did last year and get the
county supervisors to appropriate
money to buy free poison. Officers
have decided against this policy,
however.
In 1926 we showed the farmers
that if they would all put out poison,
grasshoppers could be controlled
stated Manager Wiley. "Our view is
that the county now has done its
part, that it cannot continue to fur
nish poison indefinitely. If the in
sects become sufficiently trouble
some, the bureau may buy quantity
of poison and supply it to members
at cost. Mesa Tribune.

In the light of these facts many
states possessing natural recreational
grounds but ordinarily not wealthy
enough to afford an extensive system
Of concrete roads are building roads
as fast as their finances will permit,
knowing that every added mile of
concrete means more tourists who
will help pay for the roads, and make
business in that section more stable
during season of the year when
local trade is ordinarily at low ebb.

GALES READY TO
RATIFY OIL BILL

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 30-The
ratification by President Gales Of
the amendments to the oil laws favor
ing American petroleum interests,
was expected today, after the senate
has approved of the measures. The
bill was introduced by President
Gales himself, and was slightly
amended by the Chamber of Depu-

The new oil land laws will vir-
tually permit American oil producers
permanent possession of petroleum
lands.
Explaining the nature of the
amendments, Diaz Lombardo, presi-
dent of the Mexican Supreme Court,
in a statement issued yesterday, de-
clared:
"The present measure provides for
the confirmation of the rights of
surface owners for an indefinite time,
since the laws that prevailed prior
to 1917 gave them ownership of the
subsoil. With respect to rights &C
quired from surface owners, the
measure recognizes those rights fol-
the period set forth in the contracts
and not for fifty years, as the law
previously provided"

.L.AUD USSR STAND
ON DISARMAMENT

WASHINGTON, OPP Dec. 30
From Geneva has come to Washing
ton copy of the letter of endorse
ment of the Soviet Unions proposal
of immediate universal disarmament,
which the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom has
sent to the League of Nations. 1t was
addressed to Jonkheer j. Loudon,
chairman of the preparatory commits
sion for the Disarmament Conference.
"The W. L. w." it said, (which
by resolution passed at its interna-
tional congresses stands pledged to
work for universal total disarmament
by international agreement, wishes
to express to you it's welcome of the
proposal of the U. S. S. R. delegation
that an immediate beginning be made
with the process of total disarma-
ment, to be carried out, if necessary,
by stages and to be completed in four
years.
"We believe that the sincere and
general adoption of the Russian pro-
posal would free the world from its
present state of fear of insecurity
and also from the crushing burden OF
taxation. A sincere effort to carry out
the Russian proposal would inspire
renewed confidence in the League OF
Nations and add to its prestige. II
on the other hand the League of Ma
tions should reject the proposal ane
if the delay in the adoption of prac-
tical steps toward disarmament
should be still further prolonged, it is
to be feared that the confidence Of
the peoples of the world in the League
will be severely shaken"

Attacks Proposal

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 30.--New
steps for Latin-American unity are
being planned by the Mexican For
eign Office, following the adoption
of the Senate resolution urging the
establishment of confederation Of
Latin-American states.
The proposal for interchangeable
citizenship among the Latin-Ameri-
can countries has already been ap-
proved by the Senate and is gener-
ally regarded as the first step in the
direction of Latin-American confed-
Grafton. The Senate proposal would
make a citizen Of any Latin-Ameri-
can republic citizen of every other
republic.
That the United States will OPP
pose any measure for Latin-Ameri-
can unity is regarded as certain. Tbs
Panamian Government, which is un-
der the complete domination of the
United States, has already denounced
the citizenship proposal in certain
terms. Whether or not the United
States delegation to the Pan-Ameri~
can Conference will actually bring
the question of interchangeable citi-
zenship on the floor at the Havans
