RADIO BUNKUM

Weary radio listeners will
be interested to know that
two bills have been intro
duced in Congress to cut
down on the high-pressure
advertising talks w h c h
clutter up our broadcasts.
One bill would merely eli
inmate commercial talks
from Sunday programs. The
other, more drastic, would
prohibit any announcer from
indulging in any sort of ad-
vertising talk except the bare
statement that "this program
is sponsored by the Zilch
Company"
The goal at which this
measure aims is all to the
good. The ordinary radio
fan undoubtedly would
heave a terrific sigh of reliej

could be cut out of supposed

The only question seems to
be whether, as a matter OF

in the matter or let the slow

EAST VS.. WEST

The West is silver producing section of the
country and wants silver restored to our none
tary system in order that mining of the metal
may again become profitable and that more
American products may be exported to the
twenty-three silver nations of the earth.
The East clings to the gold standard excu-
Sively be cause they do not produce silver They

The fasteners are close to the national capi-
tol and maintain lobbies in Washington whose
business it is to educate congress to the East
ern viewpoint in all things. The West is a long
way off and has no lobby to present their claims
to the senators and representatives.
Senators and representatives are human,
therefore they are more or less susceptible to
the insistent importunings of the interests
1t is because of these salient facts that the
East receives so much and West little. And
the South is in the same boat with the West.

The landholders when or

Power Districts become mu-

and can issue their own
bonds to build their projects,
backed by the water, power
and land.
The main results from the

Arizona's assessed valua-

Three hundred million will
be spent to construct the Irri-

Fifty-five per cent ($165,-

The income from the pow

Advertising, boosting and
protesting our water rights
and publishing to the world,
that Arizona possess this
great wealth of water and

iects for a future guarantee,
will commence to increase
the present value of property
and bring into Arizon hund-
reds of millions of dollars

Arizona.
Arizona, in addition to
power, mining, timber and
livestock resources has the
healthiest and most varied
climate in the world. The
most beautiful mountains
and pine forests, stocked
with wild game, hunting,
fishing and outdoor life the
year round.
Nowhere in the world is
there a great river, having
storage and diversion dams,
at such a high elevation
above and so near to the
many millions of acres of fer
tile lands, to be irrigated by
gravity, which will at the
time produce enough horse
power to pay all costs of con-
struction, to be generated
from the thousands of feet
of fill and drop from the
dams and along the canals
onto the lands.
With the filings made, the
water rights for these pro-
jects are now established and
safeguarded, since the U. S.
Supreme Court recently de-
cided that Arizona was not
bound by the Santa Fe Com
pact, and that the Boulder

rights. These water filings

A SURPRISED PEOPLE

Probably no people on earth more sur
prised and chargined than the Japanese.
Having conquered Manchuria with but little
resistance, they expected to march right into
China proper by way of Shanghai and take over
another slice of the celestial republic.
But they met up with unexpected and stub
born resistance. The Chinese did not fade
away like chaff before the wind as was expect
ed. Instead, they stood their ground and fought,
and as this is being written they are still fight
ing.
Chinese nationals in other countries are go
ing back to the homeland to aid in the defense
of their native land, while war lords who have
been at loggerheads for years are showing a
disposition to forget their private quarrels and
join in the national defense.
The League of Nations and the United States
government are insistent that the Japanese halt
their advance, and the Chinese boycott of Japa-
nese goods is spreading instead of being lifted,
as the Japanese demand.

pure" English Defined
as of Elizabethan Era

The oft-quoted saying that the pur-
est English is spoken in Dublin. par
ticularly at Trinity college, is Of UNI
known origin, says the Pathfinder
Magazine. Inverness, Scotland and
Belfast, Ireland. are often linked with
Dublin as places where exceptionally
pure and correct English is spoken
by the inhabitants. The saying prob
ably means little more than that the
common speech In these places con-
tains an unusually large number OF
Elizabethan words now regarded as
archaic" or classical in England
and the United States. Speech In
small countries or isolated commune
ties seldom changes as rapidly as it
does in the more populous centers
Both Dublin and Belfast were settled
by colonists from England and the
speech Of their descendants did net
undergo the same development that
the language of the parent country
did, The English language Of the peri
DDS of Elizabeth and King James was,
as 1t were, kept in cold storage in
Ireland and many words and phrases
were retained in everyday speech
which became obsolete In England.
Thus 1t happens that the language of
Belfast and Dublin more nearly ap.
proaches the language in use during
England's golden era of literature.
