Nepotism Is A Disease

''NepOts1n" is the name Of thing with which
the public is impatently familiar, but the word may
need little light shed upon it. 1t comes from the
Latin word "Nepos,' meaning nephew, and in the
patronage sense it means favoritism shown to ne
pheWs and by eXtension other relatives. The die
tonary gives this example Of its proper use: "From
|nepotism Alexander Y. was safe; for he was with
out kindred or relatives. ."-Milman.
The disposition to give plural application to po-
litica prefernent is illustrated by the story of

Public reaction, suspect, will be prompt in
support of bill to be introduced i'll the legislature
to prohibit the practice Of nepotism which has be-
come widespread in Arizona in recent years, and par
tjcularly at the state capitol. Some months ago
we expressed the view that it not only contrary
to sound public policy but to good party politics,
and additional pertinence has been given to cri-
ticism by the unemployment situation
We hope that the bill will be made applicable to
county offices we'll to state Offices and III view

reason why the county and city administrations Of
Pima county and Tucson should not anticipate legis

Nepotsm is nothing less than parasitic politi-
cal disease and unfalngly lowers the vitality Of the
public service organism which It feeds. Arizona
is and for some years has been morbid with it and we
hope the unemployment situation will now supply
the leverage for prying it loose

Noteworthy among the contents
are new maps Of each of the four
teen counties. all prepared after
carefully checking with county en-
ginners, a map of the West Coast
of Mexico and one showing the ir-
rigation districts of the state. Edu-
cation in Arizona is also featured
in the book as is the states elabor-
ate system of dams and irrigation.
Newly elected state and county
officials including all senators and
representatives officials serving
under former Governor John G.
Phillips and a virtually complete
list of appointments made by Gov
ernor George w. P. Hunt, are in
cluded in the book.
Likewise it makes available count
less figures and a vast amount OF
information heretofore unobtain-
able for quick reference purposes,
this county being well represented
with statistical outline on the
county, it's towns, and all conmun-
tiles having a post office as of Sep
tember l, 1880.
In releasing first copies Of the
book to come from the press Mr..
Doucette said:
THE policy of the Arizona Year
Nogales international., 1931-01-24
ARIZONA YEAR
BOOK ISSUED

First copies of t.le l930-1931 Ari-
z0na Year Book, volume of in
formation on Arizona containing
more than 500 pages and the first
book Of its kind ever published in
the state, have been received in
Nogale5.
First examination Of this publi-
cation fails to disclose a single top
ic of general OF even special interest
which has not been covered All
information contained in this book,
according to its publishers, has been
obtained from official and reliable
sources, and is completely up to
date, including even the fastest
appointments.
The volume is tl4e work of Forrest
E. Doucette, of Phoenix, formerly
Secretary of the Greenlee County
Chamber of Commerce, widely
known Arizona public.St, and now
editor and general manager of the
Arizona Year Book Corporation, in
co,porated under the laws of Ari-
z0na IN 1929.
The company was formed in the
belief that Arizona had grown to
a size where a definite compilation
of state facts and figures was need
ed as there seemed to be no source
where statistical, historical or in
formative data could be readily Sc
cured.
Compilation of the statistics pre-
sented in the 1930-1931 Arizona
Year Book was commenced shortly
after the publishing company was
incorporated. The resultant infor-
nation will, it is believed, not only
be of value to every resident of Ari
zona concerned at all with it's daily
life, but also to residents of other
states to whom information on Ari
zona is either desirable or necessary.
The general form of the book
resulted, according to Mr.. Doucette,
from careful study of the best fea-
lures of some 40 year books publish
ed in other states.
Users Of the book who refer to
it frequently are expected to dis
cover no omission of data which
might be of special value to them.
It is hoped, according to Mr. Dou-
cette, by the inclusion of this data,
and the condensation of that which
give the state all the information
it could use about itself in a single
volume.
The book is brighter" than the
average Of it's kind by virtue of
more than 100 Illustrations, care

kETCH|KAN GETS FISH HATCHERY PLANT
 FROM TERRITORY

Recently the Territory owned two fish hatchery plants. Now it has but one, and is merely await ing an application to give the other one away, says the Juneau Empire.
 One of the fish hatcheries was turned over to Ketchikan and the other will be turned over to Cordo- va anytime that city wants to be- come the possessor of a similar plant.
 A deed transferring title from the Territory to the city of Ketchi- kan to the plant formerly operated there by the Territorial Govern ment was signed by Gov. George Parks. The gift was made without reservation, possibly with relief, under authority of law enacted by the recent Legislature. It also authorized the transfer of the plant at Cordova to that commun.- ity.
 Neither of the hatcherieS nave been operated for several seasons An effort to obtain an app opria- tion to resume operations at Kc5- chikan was made during the last but was unsuccessful.

 (By Babe Hayesl

J. E. Donaldson of Los Angeles
 the we'll known head of the Path
 finder Tours, who has been thru | Alaska with several parties of tour
 ists, in writing to some Alaska friends regarding the writer, says:
 What Alaska needs now is the
 establishment of personal contacts
 between folks on the inside and
 folks on the outside. This cannot
 be done by leaflets, no matter how
 interesting, but only by the ex-
 hibition of genuine human inter
 est on the part of residents here
 for those who are lured here for a few days of a few weeks in the summer time.
 T have now completed my fifth annual visit to Alaska with a party of tourists. We have gone over the same Golden Belt itinerary each year. In those five trips I have met one man and one man only, who went out of his way to greet me and make my visit and that Of members of my party more than mere "humdrum" routine of doing the country. This man was and is F. J. Babe" Hayes, of Cor dova.
 This man represents Alaska to hundreds of the most substantial Americans who have come here. He has a larger number of con- tactS with folks who are worth while in the United States than has any private citizen in Alaska. He has rendered more definite per sonal service to tourists in Alaska than have all the members of all the Chambers of Commerce com blned. If this is doubtful in your mind, consult any tour conductor. or any tourist agency, or any individual tourists and find out. IL seems to me that this mans personal contacts with worth while people in all parts of the United States, and his unique gift in mak- Ing, extending and remembering other contacts should somehow or other be put to work for his be- loved Alaska.
 It will be pleasure to furnish scores ot names from our party membership lists to substantiate and supplement all I have said II you wish to have such informa- tion."
