Eighteenth Amendment re-

Representative Tarver CD of
Georgia, attacked the plea for
support of repeal to carry out
the Democratic platform. He
shouted: ~ 'S"

should vote for this because
some convention of delegates
approved it,"
Representative Lichtenwalner
CD of Pennsylvania declared

Speeches were limited to one
or two minutes each to give
many members a chance to
speak.
What About Speakies?
Representative Garfield (D)
of Massachusetts,, referring to
Nelson's speech, said:
81 hear many opposed to re-

Representative Summers (R0

Members became impatient for the

"It won't be a good alibi for
the Democrats here to say they
were bound by a platform or

This from Representative Chris
topherson (RO of South Dakota.
And Representative Boylan (DJ
of New York said:
"In the light of the planks
in the platforms of the two
major parties, it appears to
my mind to be a distinct
breach of faith with the people
if we fail to vote today for
submission Of this question"
Representative Guyer (RO Of
Kansas shouted:
Every Republican and every
Democrat who votes for this
violates his party platform and
votes to bring back the saloon"
A chorus Of "booS" greeted the
remark, followed by raucous
laughter.
Representative Eaton (R) of
Colorado, protested that the reSo-

the saloon. He asked Rainey to
permit an amendment banning
the saloon. Rainey refused.

CHARITY IN j. 8.
IN COLLAPSE,
SENATE TOLD
Costigan Pleads For Passage
Of $780, 900, 900 Relief;
Beer Bill Waits

Under the enactment of the
La Toilette Costigan bill, with its
fund of 100000 for direct
emergency relief to the States,
Senator Costigan CD Of Colo
rado today told the Senate that
private charity had collapsed
throughout the nation.
Costigan painted dark pic
ture of human suffering among
the unemployed. He said the
American people were "in gen.
e~al in dire need and on the
verge of extreme want"
"Major Disaster"
He compared the unemploy-
ment emergency with major dis
asters such as earthquakes, floods
and fire."
The measure was subject to q
grave controversy, because it pro-
posed to create a $500,000, 900
Federal fund for direct aid to
States in meeting their unem-
ployment problems.
A substitute by Senator Wagner
CD of New York would wipe out
direct aid and authorize a special
$500, 900 fund to be loaned to
States by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
Aid for District
The Senate is expected to
make some provision for the
District to relieve suffering in
the Nations Capital.
The Costigan-La Toilette bill
would direct the relief board to
apportion the money to various
States and the District on a
population basis. Under this
plan the District would be en-
titled to $4,000.
The Wagner bill would give
the District the right to borrow
immediate relief funds from the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton.
Beer Bill Provisions
Passage of either may bring
the beer bill before the Senate.
Some leaders, however, hoped to
win final action on the bank
ruptcy reform bill-which would
help to relieve farmers whose
homes are heavily mortgaged-
before launaaing debate on the
beer bill.
The beer bill, already approved
by the House, would legalize beer,
ale, porter, wine, fruit juices and
other malt or vinous beverages
containing not more than 3.05
per cent alcohol.
This was the modification re-
commended by the Senate
Judiciary Committee in prefer
ence to the original House bill,
which legalized merely 80 beer.

MERCHANTS CANCEL
DEBTS OF INDIANS
FOR RETURN FAVOR

Phoenix Arizona, Dec, 29.---
Foes in days gone by, the red
and white men peacefully settl-
ed their debts.
The Indians of the Colorado
river reservation were indebted
to the merchants of Parker,
Arizona, for $4,000 and the
latter owed the Redmen a like
amount. They settled their
financial difficulties last week
by cancelling all debts. The
agreement is believed to be the
first of its kind involving al
merchants of a town and al
Indians of a reservation.
The merchants in an effort to
promote agricultural develop,
ment and upbuilding of the
district, had obligated them
selves to the government by
going on bonds of tenant farm
ers who leased lands from the
Indians in the reservation,
When the tenant farmer
were unable to pay the leases
the government called upon the
merchants to make good the
bonds. But the situation was
complicated by the fact that
the Indians also owed the mer-
chants. At a conference, all
agreed to start again without
any obligations.
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-01-06

that for geographical or other
reasons have been outstripped
and which retain only a batter
ed dome building as a reminder
of past greatness.
But Arizona is believed
unique in having once had a
capital city that now is out Of
existence.
1t was back in 1864, shortly
after the territory of Arizona
was proclaimed at Navajo
Springs by Governor Goodwin,
that Camp Clark, in the little
China valley of Yavapia county
was established as the territory's
first capital.
Camp Clark, later renamed
Fort Whipple, was located at
that time near Postle's ranch.
The site today is near the
present town of Del Rio. The
seat of the government remain
ed at Camp Clark until Fort
Whipple was moved to its pre-
sent location just north of Pres
colt.
At that time---May 1854
the capital was moved to Pres
colt, where the first territorial
legislature convened and adopt
ed the first set of laws for the
territory.
1t was from Camp Clark that
Governor Goodwin issued the
call for election of legislators.
His proclamation was dated at
the old town of Fort Whipple.
The first newspaper to be
published in the territory was
issued at Camp Clark. 1t
is what today has become
the Prescott Journal Miner.
The plant was moved to Pres
cott when the capital was shift
ed. Thus Camp Clark, or old
Fort Whipple, takes the place
in the hall of capital cities,
along with Prescott, Tucson and
Phoenix, and records for the
area four capital cities instead
of three.
Before discussing the other
capitals of Arizona it might be
said that Camp Clark was nam
ed after the surveyor general of
New Mexico territory.
After the capital was moved
to Prescott the fight to shift
the seat of government to other
towns was started. La Paz
now ghost city along the banks
of rhe Colorado in Yuma Co.
Walnut Grove, and Others
sought the honor.
