POOR LOGIC

Crime reformers, citing the
fact that England, where posses
sion of small arms is forbidden,
has fewer crimes of violence
that the. United States, reach
the conclusion that an anti pistol
law is the panacea that will save
this country from the criminal.
This logic is specifically per
suasive but far from complete.
The lack of crime in England is
due mainly to the tact that its
courts are efficient and justice
swift, and that it has the great
est centralized police system
known.
Scotland Yard officers are sent
to all parts of England to inves
tigate major crimes. In this
country it is up to small town
sheriffs and constables who usu
ally lack both facilities and
training.
In English courts evasion,
technicalities and red tape, de
signed to cloud the facts, are
unknown. Immediately on com
mission of a crime, expert de-
tectives are given the evidence
and in most cases find the Grim
inal. He is Immediately tried
sentenced and adequately pun
ished.
American crime reformers
would do we'll to initiate the rea
causes of English efficiency in
stead of promoting law vulner
able in theory and which II
practice tends to disarm the law
abiding and not the criminal.

weeks lago he bought the valu

Mr.. Bowman is undoubtedly
investing in Nogales for two
reasons-his love for Nogales
where he lived forso many years
but mainly his belief in the fu
ture of Nogales. He would not
be spending hard earned cash in
this town if be did mot feel it
was destined 10 become a large
city. Neither would Johnson be
spending money at Phoenix and
McCauley at Tucson if those two
men did not have faith in those
two towns.
Men of wealth like Bowman,
Johnson and McCauley size up a
situation thoroughly before max
ing Investments. A town must
have a good future if those kind
of men are to become interested.

WRIT G. BOWMAN
NOGALES - PHOENIX TUCSON
30 WMAN-JOHNSON N-McCAULEY
Phoenix has a man named
johnson.
Tucson has man named Nc
Cauley.
And-Nogales has Writ G..
Bowman.
Phoenix has always been a
good town the past nineteen
years but did not begin to take
on real metropolitan airs and
build skyscrapers until man
named George Johnson located
there. Johnson hailed from New
York and is q man of great
wealth. He had hardly arrived
in Phoenix until be began buy
ing up Phoenix real estate and
erecting new buildings. Others
saw the stranger doing those
things and they, too, started
getting busy. The result--the
greatest building boom in the
history of Phoenix got under
way and is still going.
A similar thing happened at
Tucson. A banker named T. N.
McCauley came out to Tucson.
He, too, was from the East. He
had a lot of money and good
financial connections. He an
nounced that the Consolidated
National Bank of Tucson. of
(which be became president,
would build skyscraper. Wow
what a blow to some of the
oldtimers in Tucson. Such a
thing could never be done, they
said. It Is Being Done. Con
tanning in the neighborhood of
ten floors the building is nearing
completion and just block away
another skyscraper, the new
Steinfeld hotel, is also being
rapidly erected. The Steinfelds
never decided to build until after
McCauley had set the ball to
rolling. Steinfelds and others
felt that if the stranger, McCau
ley, had enough faith in Tucson
to spend such an enormous sum
of money they too, would do it
and they are doing it, with the
result that Tucson. like Phoe
nix,is enjoying the biggest build
ing boom in her history.
But neither of these cities has
anything on Nogales. for this
thriving little city has interest
ed in her-one intensely inter.
ested-a gentleman named Writ
G.. Bowman, known to practical
ly every man, woman and child
in this city.
Bowman has been interested
in Nogales for many years, in
fact, since the first day be set
foot on Nogales soil years ago
when be came out west from his
native state. Mississippi. He
made fortune here and with a
part of that wealth. was able to
make big connections on the Pa.
cific coast few years ago.
Those connections have brought
great wealth to Bowman and to.
day be is rated far up in the
millionaire class.
During alt the time that Bow.
man was making money in his
new field and was rising to pro.
minence in the business world
be never lost sight of Nogales-
the city be had called home for
so many years. He remember
ed bis many friends here aud be
continued to be the same Writ
6. Bowman as of old. He was,
and is today, just as democratic
as in the days before be became
q man of much prominence.
Prosperity has not changed him.
He is as friendly to his old No.
gales friends as be is to the
many persons of wealth and pro
minence with whom he comes
daily in contact over on the
coast.

HIGH SPOTS OF HOOVER'S
ARMISTICE DAY ADDRESS

Washington, Nov. 11-Here are some salient snatches from
President Hoovers Armistice Day address:
No man came from that World war; furnace a swashbuck
ling miitarist.
Those who aw the realities and its backwash in the sacrf.
flee of women and children are not men who glorify in war.
Peace is not a static thing.
To maintain peace is as dynamic in its requirements as is the
conduct of war.
We must frankly accept the fact that we and all the nations
of the world will be involved for all future time in esmal Or great
controversies and frctions.
Our ideals and our hopes are for the progress of justice
through the entire world.
We are confident that at least in the western hemisphere
public opinion will suffice to check violence.
have full confidence in the success of the conference( naval
Imitation which will assemble next January
We must reduce and limit warships by agreement only. I have
no faith in the reduction of ornaments by example alone.
am for adequate preparedness as a guaranty that no foreign
soldier shall ever step upon the soil of our country.
No American will arise today and lay that we wish one gun
people
Proper defense requires military strength relative to that of
other nations. We will reduce our naval strength in proportion to
any other.
Our nation has said with millions of voices that we desire
only defense.
No idea can be perfected except upon the anvil of debate.
The time has come when we should remove starvation of WON
en- and children from weapons of warfare.
1 have n o fear that we are not able to impress every country
with the sngleminded good will which lies in the American he
art.

TRACING CRIMINAL
RESPONSIBILITY
(From the Minneapolis journal

(From the Minneapolis Journal)
A survey recently conducted il
an Indiana reformatory covering
10000 men between the ages OF
IS and 25 years Interestingly es.
tablishes some of the social con.
ditions that contribute to the max.
ing of criminals.
E~ighty-five percent of these men
came from homes where parents
had separated. Thirty percent
could neither read nor write. Only
four percent had ever come under
the influence Of teaching of any
religion. The percentage Of ne
groes and foreigners was low.
The question of what makes the
criminal is always fundamental in
considering crime and its correc-
ton. This survey shows that few
criminals come from the right
home atmosphere, are educated or
have ever come under the influ-
enc Of any religion.
They were without personal re-
sponsibility, reared west Of the
Ten Commandments" figuratively
speaking.
This is not the first time the
same set of conditions has been
established in identical surveys. 1t
is most significant as indicating
fo~rceful1y the true point of beginn-
ing in combating crime.

Increasing prevalence of crime

ton, as Montana's governor and
legislative assembly wisely con
cluded at the beginning of the
present year in creating a state
commission to study the situa-
ton.
Fundamentally the increase in
crime may be said to be directly
proportionate to the decreased re-
spect for law, and undoubtedly
that disregard for rules of society
has a direct bearing upon the
flood of violations with which the
press and the courts of the ma
ton are filled.
The remedy, if there is one,
must eventually strike to the roots

Independent thinkers over a per-

ual thought, individual action and
the cultivation of a desire on the
part of the individual to restore
the sacredness of human life and

destructive urge, the ~law-breaking

To bring about such corrective
measures on the part of individual

The execution of Rollin Davis.
son, at Livingston, was but a per.
iodical satisfying of justice which
occurs about once in a quarter OF
a century in but few communities.
Thirty-five years ago Robert
Fields was hanged in the Jail
ward at Livingston for murder;
and 26 years ago Martin Zidmair
was slated for a similar event,
but cheated the gallows by suicid-
ing the night before the date of
execution.
The murder of Chief Holt was
brutal and d-b1ooded, and the
condemned man got what he de-
served.
So far as the moral effect Of
the execution goes, there will be
none. It will have no different eff
feet upon the commission Of fu-
ture murders for the reason that
those with m%urderous intent will
commit the crime, confident that
money, social standing, %fraternal
connections or family relations
will save them from the JOS

AN APPALLING DISPARITY
(From Minneapolis Tribune)

(FTOm Minneapolis Tribune)
Since 1919 the income of American industry has Increased from
fifty billion to seventysx billion dollars a year.
Industrys income in that per cd has increased 50 per cent since
1919. Agrcultures income has decreased from fifteen to twelve bill
lion dollars.
In that same period that indusrys income increased So per
cent, agricultures income decreased 26 per cent.
This appalling disparity may we'll give pause to any one fore
casting the future prosperity of the nation.
The basis of wealth of the nation lies in a sound and pros
porous agriculture. The wipng oft of billions of dollars of paper
profits in the last few days irresistibly brings this fact home.
If this disparity between the incomes Of agriculture and indust
ry continues, agriculture finally will collapse. The collapse of
agriculture means eventual disaster to industry.

to be overriding the land.
Composite state Of mind Of a
people may be said to govern its
individual expressions, but that
composite state Of mind is a COM
pick and elusive factor.
1t appears clear that the crime
wave has been on the increase
over a period Of from 10 to 20
years. During those years we have
had a great war, we have adopted
a revolutionary prohibition Of the
use of liquor, we have seen the
plodding horse-drawn vehicle give
way to the motor vehicle with
it's speed, power and ever-avail-
able humiliation of distance, we
have seen the emancipation Of
womankind and her invasion Of
realms once occupied solely by
man the home influence and the
rigors Of home training have de-
clined, and various other monu-
mental changes have occurred in
the social fabric of civilization.
To some one or more Of these
influences the rise or crime may
be attributed, depending upon
the viewpoint and mental attitude
Of the attributor. Very likely they
all contribute to the main result
a composite fashion. And at any
rate it must be true that their
effect is different upon different
Individuals, even upon different
criminals.

1t would look to the ordinary
layman as though contempt OF

ible bit of temperament on the
part of some judges. Just why ar
biters of justice-and especially
federal judges who reach their
soft life berth through presidential
appointment-feel themselves a.
bove criticism is beyond us. Right
now federal Judge Pollock, OF
Kansas, and Governor Reed, Of
the same state, are staging a
wordy controversy over the cover
nor's frank criticism of justice as
melted out by the Federal Jurist.
A federal judge is just as much
a public servant as is any local
justice of the peace, and any free
American citizen may go just as
far as he likes in critcizing a judge
of the high court just so long as
his remarks are not profane or
obscene, and there is no reason
why a federal judge should get
behind a screen of personal van
ity and claim damage to his halo
because of a few blasts of free
speech by a citizen who has temer-
ity to criticize, thereby exercising
his royal American right to crit
icize public servants, be they
President, Congressman or Judge
We recall the retort of a lawyer
who was asked by the judge, are
you trying to show contempt Of
court?' No, your honor, replied
the lawyer, I'm trying to conceal
it.
