1t is quite likely that there will be scramble tor

and some the old guard in the county government
are going to find necessary to do vigorous cam

We hope that there will be several candidates Tor

that he has to get and hustle every often in order

TWISTED JUSTICE

Glendale, Arizona, is not large city. Located
northwest of Phoenix it probably has two three thou
sand persons at most.
One would hardly connect the terrible narcotic evil
with such place. Tell the average in the street
that small American town could have dope scandal
and he would believe you were spoofing him.
Yet a Glendale physician is under sentence of two
years in federal prison, plus fine of So 000 for vo
lating the federal narcotic law.
According to the government the doctor in question
issued over 1000 prescriptions for narcotics.
This doctor willing to trade the bodies and souls
of men and women for gain Not the legendary
Shylock with his demand for pound of flesh is more
CHASTITY than this educated to relieve human sui
fering and prosttutng his profession to increase hu
man misery.
Some poor devil, who in fit of anger, misled by
human passions kills another, pays with his life for
his non1enary lapse. This cold, calculating and
working with deberation period of years, kill
ing hundreds, perhaps, and making others wretched
they would be better off dead loses small portion OF
his gotten gains and is assured comfortable living
for the next two years.
This may be justice but it seems more like proof
that justice is not only blind but deaf and dumb we'll
1t also proves that the narcotic evil is widespread as
the crusaders tell Us II IS.

LINCOLN'S DAY
PROGRAM GIVEN
BY LOCAL LIONS

I.ipcoln's birthday was observed
by the Lions club last evening when
the members and their wives gath.
cred at the Barbara Worth hotel for
I; banquet and program.
Table appointments carried out
the patriotic motif, places being
marked by copies of Lincoln's Get
tysburg address. Entertainment
was furnished by the Lions quar-
tette composed of Horace Coe, JAS
per Travers, G. c. jenkins and Rev.
Charles Wilson Baker.
Fred Nuttall was chairman for the
evening and introduced the speaker,
Harry James of Los Angeles, who
is connected with the education de-
partment of the Majestic Radio cor
uoration and who spoke on "The
Evolution of Radio Broadcasting".
Touching briefly on the fact that
Lincom's birthday is celebrated all
over the nation, James spoke of the
famous sense of humour of the great
President, and kept his audience i'll
an uproar of laughter with a series
of amusing stories illustrating the
English "monocle sense of humour".
In discussing the evolution of the
radio. the speaker mentioned the
rapid increase in the number of ra-
die sets in use on the last seven
years, there being $4,000 i'll use in
1922 as contrastcd with the 10000
coo sets in use in November of 1929
Declaring that in the future, ad-
vertising during the program would
be omitted and that the radio and
the daily newspaper would have to
cooperate in this respect, James pro
rhesied that the time would come
when there would be a few large
Eroadcasting stations over which
splendid programs would be given,
the audience being taxed a negh-
gihle sum to defray expenses.
Many interesting incidents in
troadcasting programs were recount
ed by James who is witty and
clever speaker. At the close of his
address. he answered questions on
ladio problems asked by the club
members.

However. the pressure on wholesale
prices in Winter months has obviously
been travelling clear along the whole
gamut OF products. Finished steel prod
ucts have averaged about 2 per cent
less in price than year ago; the entire
group of non-ferrouS metals, barring
copper, for which an export price of 10
cents per pound has been held for
months. has slipped downward notably.
Tin and silver on wholesale markets are
selling at nearly the low prices of his
tory, while zinc and lead quotations
are at figures much below the average
of the last 20 years.
Likewise bituminous coal and petro-
leum, products in which the American
output dominates the world picture
have been scraping bottom for weeks
Cotton, wheat and live stock, since the
turn of the year and in spite of Federal
aid extended the producers through the
Farm Board, have weakened percep-
tibly. Though manufactured articles In
general have not been so seriously af-
fected, there Is scarcely an item on the
list of important raw materials which
has not yielded.
Opinions differ markedly as to what
this price movement preSages and the
realization of the situation is only now
becoming general. 1t is frequently
pointed out that the most recent ex-
perience the business world has had
with declining prices for basic commod-
tiles dates back to 1920. Adoption of
