THE CASE OF GEORGE BRATT

George Bratt who seems
we'll named, is a fiiver tramp.
With his wife and four child
rem he journeyed across the
country in a house on wheels
pausing for a while in Tue
son, then on to the coast
where he landed in San
Francisco. There he took a
house, but couldn't pay his
rent and was evicted. When
the constables put his things
on the sidewalk, he left his
wife and 4 small children
standing amid the furniture
and walked bravely away,
declaring that it was "socie-
tvs duty to care for his
family" and has not been
seen since.
His wife told the authori-
ties that she thought George
Bratt was doing the right
thing-she gloried in his
spunk-and that he was
merely fighting for a princi-
pie.
Of course, she added that

get by-he said so in Tue
son-and why worry about
the future?
But the time came when he
did not get by. His family
became hungry. The wife
who has already born him
four children is soon to have
another. Why consider them
a responsibility? No. No.
The Coolidge examiner., 1932-02-26

Society is to blame that this
irresponsible person has four
children and is soon to have
a fifth although he is unwill-
ing to stick to one job until
he attains success. And so
he walks away, proud ! y
boasting that he is fighting
for a principle.

COPPER AND COTTON
CROP HOLD LEAD

Value of production of
basic commodities in Arizona
last year is estimated as $62,-
600, 1000 in the Arizona Busi-
ness Review for January is
sued this week by the Ari-
zona Industrial congress.
Notwithstanding material
ly reduced output and values
due to the lowest average
price of copper since 1850.
the mining industry continu-
ed to rank as the largest in
the state in production value,
the report shows estimates
given cover agricultural, live
stock, mining and lumber
productions, all showing
much smaller values than for
some years, due to drastic
declines in commodity prices
in 1881.
Mining production in the
state last year was estimated
at $36,000.000 by the U. S.
Bureau of Mines the Business
Review points out, while Ari-
zona crops were given hypo-
thetical total value $16,500,-
600 in preliminary estimates
of the y. S. Department of
Agriculture. Copper held its
rank as Arizona's leading
product and Arizona retain
ed its place as the nations
greatest copper producer, al
though output of the red
metal fell to 397, 100000
pounds for the year. At aver
age prices this was valued at
S33,000,000, while gold pro-
duction amounted to 50, ,500,-
600 and silver to 100000.
Cotton also held its place
as the states leading crop
despite a corresponding de-
cline in value. The federal
crop estimates included S4,-
100000 for cotton, 3,276,-
600 for alfalfa, S2,877,000
for lettuce, and 1881, 900,
for cantaloupes, Citurs fruit,
also were near the million
dollar class in value.
Industrial Congress esti-
mates place a combined va
lue of approximately $5,-
100000 on estimated ship
ments of 100000 cattle to
outside markets and slaugh-
terings of 10000 within the
state. Shipments of 100000
lambs, 100000 pounds of
mohair and 6,500,000 lbs. of
wool are estimated at ST.
100000.
The review quotes privates
estimates placing Arizona
lumber production last year
at 88,000,000 board feet, be-
lieved to represent some
thing over $1,000,000.
The congress publication
reports that no authentic es-
Inmates are available on va
lue of general manufacture
ing production in the state in
1881, but estimates that pro-
duction of all manufacturing
and mechanical industries
did not exceed $4,000, bas-
ing the figures on compari-
son of 1929 statistics report
ed by the U. S. Census of
Manufactures with opera
tions and values prevailing
in 1881.

THE END OF THE ROAD

nix are 10 Cne erect JndJ no
purchasers have yet been
found for the latest issue of
tax anticipation bonds offer
ed for sale by the state Of
Arizona. and that certain
Phoenix bankers are now on
the coast to see whether
some kind hearted institution
or individual can be found
who will come to the fnan-
cial assistance of the great
state of Arizona. It's to be
hoped that the efforts will be
successful, else the state Of
Arizona will be in exactly
the same position which the
city of Chicago, the city of
Philadelphia and even the
city of New York now find
themselves. There will be
no money to pay road work
ers, clerical help, school
teachers or officials.
Phoenix banks are accept
ing no state warrants; Bis
bee banks are doing like
wise. The county of Cochise
gets a nice fat check from
the state treasurer for our
portion of the state school
money, and then finds that
he cannot cash the warrant.
And this is the second war
rant that he has received
from the state which came
back marked IN. S. F."
Thus we come to the end
of the road!
Now, whether we like it or
not, whether it is feasible"
whether 1--WE can't let the
functions of government
fall" or whatever excuse
may have been made here
tofore, we are up against the
plain facts. The colt has
been given plenty rope and
there has been a lot of cav
orting, but finally he is
wound right up against the
snubbing post and must lis
ten to reason.
The course is plain; there
is but one answer. The state
of Arizona must cut eXpen-
ses; the expenses of state
government must be brought
within the revenue accruing
to the state. That means the
elimination of a lot of fame
les and frills. That means
coming right down to essen
tials, and nothing more.
1t is an old story and every
citizen in the state knows it
we'll because he has gone
through every angle of it.
When this depression first
hit us, everyone of us sought
new sources of revenue-we
found none. Then a lot of us
used the good credit which
we had built until it became
strained-and our creditors
began to insist. Then we
came to our senses and
brought our expenses with
IN our revenues. And most
of us are not only required
to pay our regular expenses
but to skimp a little closer
and pay a part of the debts
we contracted with interest.
The state is no more po-
tent than its citizenship. No
rules of finance apply to ma
tional, state or municipal sys-
TENS that do not apply to in
dividuals or corporations. If
a state owes money it must
be paid-else it finds itself
in the "dead-beat" class just
as surely as an individual.
And some of the school eX-
ecutives in Arizona will sud-
denly awaken one of these
cool mornings to find that
school expenditures in Ari-
zona are coming down. Am
pie warning has been given,
and the school executives
have had ample opportunity
to clean house. If it isn't
done quickly, these same ex-
ecutives will find ineXperi-
enced and unsympathetic
hands wrecking things in
great shape. Schools as they
are Onerated tOdav arc Ink

This provision in the San

was designed and included
in the legislation to prevent
land speculation and high

1t was intended to apply to

lators. Needless to say, this
pTecaution was. entirely un-
necessary so far as the San
Carlos Project is concerned.
but having been included in
the Act, it must be complied
with. The exact language of
this provision in the San Car
los Act follows:
"* = y and shall provide
that until one-half the
construction C h argos
against said lands shall
have been fully paid, no
sale of any such lands
shall be valid unless and
until the purchase price
involved in such sale is
approved by the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and
shall also provide that
upon proof of fraudu-
lent representation as to
the true consideration
involved in any such
sale, the Secretary of
the Interior is authoriz-
ed to cancel the water
right attaching to the

Then, too, the smaller or family unit
consumes a larger percentage of its
production. Thus with the production
diversified and largely concentrated by
feeding operations on the farm, the
market surplus, particularly wheat, will
tend downward and the price go up.
las to the resettlement Of the poorer
class of lands, abandoned since home
stead days, it is our experience that
those returning TO the farm are making
much better choice as to quality Of soil

derived from the sale Of electricity by
operating companies and that. these
operating companies deposit the bulk
of their revenues to the credit Of the
holding and subholding companies.
