WHY NOT STOP CRIME NEWS
AT THE SOURCE?

The people of Portugal nave
become alarmed over the pre-
valence of crime and the Port
uguese government has met the
emergency by ordering the
ne eWspaperS to minimize their
reports. 1t appears to escape
the attention of the Portuguese
government. as it does the good
people who would like to see a
similar censorship in america,
thatithe best way to minimize
such reports is to suppress the
criminals" says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Tnere is mistaken belief in
our own country that it is pos
sible to check crime by passing
more laws restricting law-abid
ing citizens on the theory that
the criminal will thereby be re
strained.

SILVER STABiliZATION I'M
PORTANT

Senator Borah of Idaho says
that the time is ripe to put
through silver and gold ratio
acceptable to the leading nations
of the world. He points out
that there is a worldwide inter
est in silver as a result of the
decrease in the supply of gold.
Senator Borah said: A few
days ago the Manchester Board
of Trade addressed a petition to
Premier Macdonald of Great
Britain. calling attention to the
fact that the volume of world
business was increasing and the
gold supply decreasing, and argu
ing that this would result in a
fall of prices and an ever-increas
ing depression.
IF an agreement could be had
it would lead at once to a full
use of silver in India, China aud
other countries. Fully one-half
of the human family wants to
use silver and on any sound in.
ternational agreement they
would do so"
There has been great depres
sion in silver mining since the
World War. Any practical move
ment that would tend to stabi.
lize the value of this precious
metal, would be of great dvan
tage to the United States whose
Western mines are large produ
GERS of silver. Mining is a bas
ic industry on which the pros
perity of many states depends
and it is the producer of new
wealth which strengthens the
credit Of this nation.
Every citizen should take an
interest in practical plans tc
encourage, stabilize and streng

& STEPS OF PROGRESS

OF recent years the electric
industry, aided by various farm
organizations, has been giving
much attention to solving the
problems Of farm electra:ation.
Results are shown by recent
statistics regarding the exten
sion OF rural power lines.
On January /, 1924, there
were 1866. l60 farms in the Unit
ed States with high line" cleo
trio service. or 2 81 per cent OF
the total number of farms report
ed in 1925 In only seven states
10 per cent Of farms had ser
vice.
On June /, 1880, 627, ,1O5, or
almost 10 per cent of the mum
ber Of farms in existence, were
provided with high line" ser
vice. representing an increase
of 277 per cent in 6 ~ years.
Ia Il states more than 20 per
cent Of farms were connected
with electric lines. and in six
states conections ranged bet
wecn 10 and 20 per cent.
In the words Of DIR. e a.
White. Director of the Commi,
tee on the Relation of E!ectri
city to Agriculture, of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federated
Every electric line built into
the country marks another stes
in agricultural progress. Elec
tricity is giving the farm higher
standards of living, better eco
nomic conditions and more scier
tific methods. Power revolu
'tionized industrial life in ou,
cities. It will do likewise fol
agriculture.
At the present rate of pro
gress, it will not be many years
until q majority of American
farms are provided with elec
trio service. When that time
comes, we will be close to pei
manent solution of agriculture's
problems.

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA NEWS

University of Arizona (Tucson)
The popular theory that stu.
dents are now entering college
at an earlier age than in the
past does not have definite proof
in facts according to Dean Emil
+ Riesen OF the college Of Let
ters. Arts and Sciences.
Dean Riesen points out that
statistics taken over long pc
riod OF time seem to Indicate
that students are entering col
lege at slightly older age than
in previous years. Although
comprehensive figures have ne
YER been compiled, the trend is
definite enough to be noticeable.
At Harvard, Americas oldest
university, the average age of
freshmen in 1880 was sixteen
years and three months. FIFTY
years later in 1880 the average
age was eighteen years and Sc.
ven months. This last figure
has held quite steadily and today
it has been determined that the
average age of university fresh
men is somewhat over eighteen
years.
A survey of the age of fresh
men at the university of Arizo
pa reveals the average age to
be normal, that Is slightly over
eighteen years.

THE CONFESSION OF FAILURE

! Oae of the principal pleas ad
vanced by Governor John c.
Phillips to the voters of Arizona
for his return to the governors
Office is that during bis present
administration his hands have
been tied in Office due to the
fact that several commissions
of the state had been appointed
prior to his taking Office. His
claim is that these two or three
posts in the state have prevent
ed him from making a fne re
cord. His promises are that if
be is returned to office be will
be able to fill these commissions
with Republicans and the infer
ence is his hands will no longer
| be tied.
The facts of the case are:
The laws of Arizona give the
governor the power to remove
any commissioner appointed 5y
the governor at any time for
failure 20 perform his duties.
Any commission or any commits
sioner whom Governor Phillips
felt was not doing his duty to
the state and the office he held
could have been removed by
bim.>
Governor Phillips has at no
time made any specific charge
against any of these commits
sioners' failure to perform their
respective duties.
The records Of the Highway
commission shows that the two
Republican mem mbers Of that
commission have concurred in
every instance with the three
Democratic commissioners. If
there had been any difference Of
opinion as to policies in the
highway department. why did
not these two Republican com
missioners dissent and why did
not Governor Phillips take &C
tion by and through them?
The only conclusion that can
be drawn from these records are
that the Democrats who have
been holding Office during Gov.
Phillips administration must
have been right in their conduct
OF their Offices or else the Repub
licans including Governor Phil
lips must have been equally
wrong in not opposing their
actions.
Furthermore. the records show
that it is the departments and
commissions of the state that
have had Democratic control
that have operated within their
budgets, while such depart
ments as the Arizona State Pri
son and the Tucson school for
the deaf and blind, that we're
directly under the control of
Governor Phillips are the state
institutions that were without
funds at least three months be
fore the end of their last fiscal
year. The governor borrowed
$40. 100000 from the Calumet and
Arizona Mining company, of
Warren, to keep the state pri
son running and the Tucson
school was closed and the pupils
sent home.
| Such q plea as Governor Phil
lips is making to the voters is
confession of failure on his
part to perform his duties as
governor. Such statements in
view of the facts and public re
cords only go to prove that Gov
ernor Phillips has been listless
and ineffective in office. The
facts prove that Governor Phil
lips hands have not been tied,
but instead have been hanging
uselessly by bis side.
