Says All Talk of Wage Cuts

is a kind of propaganda, one of the
ways the biggest business men issue
their orders to the smaller fry.
On this page is reproduction of
the first page of the Kiplinger Wash
ington Letter dated April II. 1t points
out that the whole talk in govern
ment and business circles in Wash
ington is about wage cuts. The cuts
SO far are just the first raindrops in
a storm of wage cuts that are COM
ing. And meanwhile, Hoover is play
ing politics, he wants not to be
blamed for the starvation and misery
and smashing of living standards that
he and the big business men who rule
him are preparing.
Pages 2, 3 and of the letter could
not be Photographed for the paper,
but they are equally interesting.
On Page of the letter, the second
paragraph shows the Kiplinger gang
in close touch with the A. F. L. chiefs,
the A. F. l.. general headquarters is
in Washington. The Kiplinger letter
says, heavily underlined, In labor
circles we do not detect any strong
belligerency Of attitude"-against
wage reductions. And still more re-
vealing, in the next paragraph, the
Kiplinger letter says: Three labor
men in the past few days have men,
toned that perhaps the antitrust
laws ought to be modified in some
way to permit agreements among
competitors to moderate the bitter
phases of price rivalry" To this
Kiplinger adds, parenthetically
Sounds like big business talk rather
than labor talk. doesn't it?"
Yes, Big Business.
Well say it does, and it shows thai
big business and the Office of Presl-
dent Green of the A. F. L. are just
two Offices of the same concern.

UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL

The automobile accident problem should
be approached from the standpoint that it is
the individual drivers problem.
All encouragement should be given to
moves to modernize traffic codes and to pass
laws requiring the examination of vehicles and
drivers. These steps can save many lives, to
say nothing of thousands of dollars worth of
property. But at the same time must do
our utmost to drive home to the individual the
responsibility that is his when he takes the
wheel of car and embarks upon the public
streets and highways.
1t has been suggested that an honor code
be created for drivers. If all drivers would
seriously subscribe to it the ghastly toll of
deaths would drop over night Not one fatal
accidents in ten is strictly unavoidable In
nine cases someone, through recklessness, care
lessness or incompetence. has erred. A life
snuffed out is the result
A ton or two of metal moving at high
speed, represents tremendous destructive
force if it is mishandled. None of us would
take chance on putting stick of dynamite in
fire or looking down the muzzle of gun and
playing with the trigger Yet hundreds of thou
sands of drivers do the motoring equivalents of
these acts-by going at excessive speeds on
narrow or rough roads, by passing curves,
by cutting in and out in the face of oncoming
traffic, by driving on the wrong side of the
highway.
Public opinion must be directed with all
its force, toward making the individual con-
scious of his duty, if the accident toll is to be
materially checked-Winslow Daily Mail

COMMUNICATION

To the Editor of Coolidge
Examiner:
Dear Sir:
Allow me a small space of
your valued weekly to pass a
few remarks on the recent
School Election. 1t is seldom
an election of any conse-
quence in a community es-
capes the immediate pre-
election rumors whispered
around by an opposing party
or a group concerning the
qualifications of one or the
other of the candidates, or
statements attributed to a
particular candidate that he
never uttered. These last
hour sensational rumOrs are
of course concocted for a
purpose, and invariably turn
ed loose on the public
Immediately preceding vot-
ing time, or at so late an
hour as to make a correc-
ton impossible. Our School
Board Election of last Satur-
day was no exception to the
rule. Rumors were current

ARIZONA STATE FAIR NOV. e-15

Next week is Fair week in the state
metropolis and the term implies bigger and bet
ter entertainment this year than ever before.
In addition to viewing the biggest pumpkins,
classiest rams and best laying hens, this years
state fair crowds will be treated to at least
running horse races on each of the six days and
the S12, 900 in purses which has been hung up
by General Manager William P. Kyne. Kyne
has attracted the biggest band of speedsters
ever assembled in Arizona.
Fast times and interesting sport is assured
and the contest for the purse money is to be the
keenest ever witnessed hereabouts. Arizona
has not enjoyed the sport of kings under fully
organized conditions since 1924 and interests
in the gallopers runs high.

DEMOCRATS MAKE

The democrats won in

What bearing bearing this

Dental election is hard to

ing up and taking notice that
it behooves them to- get

that the defeated candidate
would, if elected, place the
Mexican and ColOred child
ren in the same room with
the white children, also that
he was strictly opposed to
the kindergarten school, and
would if elected, cause it to
be discontinued. These and
many other last hour rumors
undoubtedly contributed to
Mr.. Christensen's defeat, al
though the prime factors in
his defeat in the opinion of
many was the source from
which his petition origi-
mated.
It is now taken more or
less for granted that when
petitions originate in this
particular source, (and there
are many of them that have)
someone stands in the
shadow of that petition with
an ak to grind, whether this
is true or not the public has
learned to view them with
suspicion.
The other factor attribut-
ed to Mr.. Christensen's de-
feat is undoubtedly the fact
that the one member of the
School Board canvaSSed the
district in his behalf, such an
action without doubt had its
effect in re-electing the pre-
sent incumbent, in fact,
many of Mr.. Christensen's
supporters in the district
have voiced their opinion
that CAP would have Jared
better had this member re-
NAMED at nome, IL WOuld
have at least spared him the
embarrassment of being
placed in the light of public
suspicion, which he does
not deserve. 1t is hardly
likely however, that Mr..
Christensen could be influ-
enced by any particular
member of the Board, had
he been elected. The con-
sensus of opinion is that CAP
can attribute his defeat to
the fact that his hackers
were entirely out of tune
with public sentiment.

MORE LAWS, MORE CONTEMPT

THE growing contempt for law is attri-
butable in large measure to mistaken zeal for
more and more law" said Governor Rit-
chic of Maryland short time ago.
1t is refreshing to hear this thought echoed
by high public official Too few of them are
sufficiently candid-or courag ageous-to do so.
But almost all who have studied the crime pro-
blem have come to the same conclusion.
We are nation of law-breakers largely
because we are nation of lawmakers We have
abrogated human liberties and crime has been
increasing on a greater scale than in any other
supposedly civilized country. We have passed
laws which have acted as boomerangs and have
in actual practice benefited the criminal class
which they were supposed to suppress-such
as the various ant-revoler bill in effects in sew
eral states.
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
America is lawess nation In almost every
great city authorities are all but powerless
against the depredations of we'll organized.
we'll financed underworld Simpler and fewer
laws, more justice and less litigation surer
punishment for offenders-in the direction lies

nal class.-Arizona Record.
