In 1891, Father Eusebio Fran.
cisco Kino, after establishing a
number Of missions to the south,
began pushing northward seek.
ing new locations. A mission
was built ten miles to the south
OF the ranch on the Santa Cruz
river. He then came north
through the valley and found
thriving Indian village on a beau
tiful mesa which was called Au.
pericoso. Father Kino debated
for some time whether or not to
establish mission at this place
but on further Investigation de.

the north would interfere with
the easy travel from one mission
to another and selected another

ASKS SCARE DEAL FOR RAILS

A threat against the future
growth and prosperity of Ari
zona is the action of Arizona ia
dustrial representatives who.
under auspices of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association,
contemplate an organization to
combat the efforts of the Stand
ard Railroad Labor O.ganiza
tions for repeal of the fourth
section Of the Interstate Com
merce Act. according to j. S..
Hard wieke, state chairman cI
the railroad labor organizations
com mittee.
Asking that businessmen "con
slider the facts in q husiuesslike
way" Hardwick points out that
Arizona prospered and increased
in population more rapidly dur
ing the decade 1910 to 1920, when
railroads enjoyed relief under
the fourth section, than 10 the
succeeding years when such re
lief was denied the carriers.
From 1910 to 1920" Hard
wicke said, population in Ari
zona increased 81 per cent, while
business and Industry increased
in ratio to the growth of the
State. Between 1920 and 1880
the u. S. census report shows an
increase of but 80 per cent. a
clear evidence that while exten
sion Of fourth section relief to
railroads endured through our
greatest decade of prosperity
and expansion, no corresponding
gains in population and industry,
but rather a marked decline in
rate of interest, followed the
imposition of the strict restric
tions of the fourth section upon
the railroads serving this state.
The same conditions hold true
throughout the entire intermoun
tain region.
Repeal of the fourth section
would not be a threat against
further growth and prosperity
of Arizona. The very condition
which these industrial represen
tatives say will result from re-
peal or mobilization of the long
and short" section already ex
lists. Repeal of the fourth sec
tion would not give the Los An
geles iobber any greater rate
advantage in selling this terri
tory than be now enjoys as re
suit Of the low Panama Canal
rates, and the low back haul
rates from Los Angeles to Phoe
vix via unregulated truck lines.
Any newspaper reader knows
of the financial difficulties al
ready facing the railroads. The
railroads, however, have sutfi
cient unused facilities to handle
the desired port to port traffic
which must be secured upon a
competitive basis, or not at all.

Holding that there is an actual

of the country, and that there is

program proposes three steps.
the most important of which
calls for q grant by Congress to
the corporation of power to lend
money, not only for the preven

the Improvement snd uoderniza

Coinciding with this step. the
program calls for an increase in
the resources Of the Home Loan
Bank Board to effect wider credit
among the private bone inanc
ing institutions, now member of
the system, and q more active
development of the Federal Sav

her face to face with the accom-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Richard
son: Is there any way in the
world Of arranging matters so that
two children playing together will
not both want the same toy at the
same time? I have a friend who
wanted to train her two little
girls, three and five, to be unset
fish! so she always took care to
see that they had one of each Of
their toys, so that they might
have practice in developing unset
fishness. Do you approve of that
idea? ..
ANSWER: Your friend certain
ly was a glutton for punishment,
as our sporting friends would
phrase it; she showed by that very
courageous action that she "could
take it," Most of us parents are
perfectly satisfied to meet the
troubles that come to us. without
going around manufacturing diff
ficulties. / don't believe she
stuck to that plan long-it was too
much theory and too little good
common sense. The only way |
know for meeting this situation is
to develop an interest in coopera-
tive play, so that the children will
want the thing to go where it
will further the game they are
playing. But that is not always
easy, to be sure.
QUESTION: Is there any cath
aric that is safe, non-iabit-form-
ing, and perfectly unobjectionable
Tor permanent use?
ANSWER: No.
