HAVE YOU ANY NEWS

The Coolidge Examiner would
like to publish every item of
news each week, and with the
cooperation of the citizens we
could do so. If you have friends
visiting in your home or give a
party, get married or if you die
let us know about it and we will
publish it. If your news item
does not get into the paper you
alone are to blame, we have
not always the time to gather
all the news each week nor the
patronage to justify hireing re-
porters. If you are not interest
ed enough in your own affairs to
inform the paper why complain?
very few things come to us in
this world without some effort
on our part.

HIGHWAY NUMBER 81
Will BE FINISHED

DR.. Chandler of Chandler, was
a Coolidge visitor last Friday
afternoon for the purpose of get
ting the citizens of Coolidge in
terested in having highway No,
81 between San Tan and Chand-
ler completed.

ident of the Coolidge Chamber
of Commerce and J. J. Jones,
drove to Phoenix and in COM
pany with delegates from towns
between Tucson and Phoenix
went before the Highway Com
mission and asked that this Sec
tion of highway be completed.
After hearing the delegates
on the subject the Highway
Commission informed them the
road would be completed ready
for oillng as soon as possible but
it could not be oiled until the
new grade had settled.
When this ten mile strip is
finished 81 will be an oiled and
paved highway from Tucson to
San Diego. This means much
to those living along this high
way as it gives them free access
to the Phoenix and Tucson mar
kets.

DEBT REPUTATION
OR BOGUS MONEY"

We are in receipt of a letter
from a South Dakota friend In
which he suggests two ways to
relieve the present unsatlsfac-
tory conditions.
"There is in my opinion, only
two ways out. One is whole
sale reputation of all public and
private debts. The other is
"bogus money. | don't like to
see wholesale bankruptcy, and
| therefore favor bogus money.
| contend that our public and
private debts were contracted
when we had bogus money---ln-
fated values---and that now
everything is Debated except the
dollar. | would like to see the
United States get off the gold
standard, and this country food
ed with paper and silver dollars
bogus money to pay those bogus
debts--and then gradually get
back on a normal basis again.
We cannot pay our public and
private debts with commodity
prices way down in the hole, and
the dollar away up in the air.
What Bryan said forty years
ago is certainly true today, we
are "crucified on cross of gold
our labor, our products and our
property have no value when
compared to the value of gold
dollars. | would like to see the
men who have somehow accum-
ulated all the gold in the world
take their loss with the man who
owns farm or a factory. l
have no use for the soviet doc
trine, collective ownership and
collective rewards, but just as
surely as the sun rises, we will
have that system here, if capl-
talism insists on grinding down
all values but the value of gold.
Another winter of unemploy-
ment and starvation of millions
will never do.
The mailman has just came
with copy of your paper, and
l see you have in your little town
140 families who got government
-four to eat. We have the same
thing here. 1t is a lousy, dam
nable, inexcusable thing that
our political and economic lead
ership has made paupers out of
so many of our people. We
have. collectively, the natural
resources and wealth to keep
every man gainfully employed,
but the whole system is lopsided
today, with millionaires and
paupers. There is no excuse
for it that l can see, except our
own indifference and ignorance
of public policies. We have no
leaders anymore.
/ recall one night in Washing
ton, we had a dinner there, and
had old Joe Cannon as our
guest. He made the most in
teresting talk / ever heard, and
in the course of that talk he
looked around and said: ''Some
of you men are from the west,
and you call yourselves progress
sives. You are progressing all
right, but where the hell are you
going?" l wish we had a man
like that in every chair in con-
gress, and another one just like
Cannon in the Presidents chair.
He was leader and it looks to
me now that he could see fur
ther than the rest of us, back in
1919,'.
