SOIL EROSION SERVICE
TO CREATE EMPLOYMENT

With the dual purpose of op-
ening jobs fer a large number of
unemployed college graduates
and at the same time develop
ing a trained personal for the
national soil conservation pro-
gram, the Soil Erosion Service
has announced the establish
ment of a new emplCyment-in-
struction system to be carried
out in connection with It's ero-
sion control projects throughout
the country.
Announcement of the plan
was made by H. H. Bennett,
Director of the Soil Erosion Ser
vice, with the approva lof secre-
tary of the interior. 1t has the
hearty Endorsement of DR.. Leon
ard G. White, civil service COM
missioner, and an international
authority on public employment
In essence, the system con-
templates the immediate en-
ployment of approximately 1000
young men who have completed
college work in the agriculture
science or kindred subjects.
Men recommended by college
authorities in each state will be
given jobs for a six to eight
month period on a number of
soil erosion projects now under
way in various parts of the
country. In CONNECTION with
the work, they will undertake a
complete course of instruction,
designed to equip them as spec
ialists in the field of scientific

DANISH THE REC
LESS DRIVER AND
SAVE YOUR LIFE

Reports from police depart
ments, state traffic authorities
and safety organizations in all
parts of the country show a
startling increase in automobile
accidents.
Every driving crime is on the
rise. The result, if the present
trend continues, will be that
1884 will see rhe establishment
OF a new high in fatalities.
Statistics for the worst driv-
ing months, October, Novem-
Der, and December, may make
the record even more horrible.
The automobile accident pro-
blem, which has been a major
issue for many years, has reach
ed a crucial stage. The Ameri-
can highway today is slaugh-
ter house, the most careful,
competent and courteous driv-
er takes his life in his hands
when he ventures on it. A
round the next curve or over
the next hill there may be a
drunken or reckless driver at
the controls of several thousand
pounds of steel moving at
tremendous speed. Less than
ten per cent of motorists take
chances, but that ten percent
menace us all.
The oldfashioned type of
safety campaign, restricted both
in time and area, must be re-
placed by a real safety cam
paign. engineered and enforced
by the general public, by the
ninety per cent of drivers who
are competent and careful. The
reckless must be driven from
the highways, and to achieve
this, the force of public opinion
can be even more useful than
law. No matter how good a
states traffic code is, or how
conscientious a highway patrol,
it cannot produce results if the
public is Indifferent.
Danish the drunken. the rec
less, the incompetent driver, it
may save your life and the lives
of loved ones.

vigorous action in behalf OF Ari.
zona both in Washington and at

al and state candidates moved
their forces into Maricopa coun-
ty this week for a final drive OF
the campaign.
Col. J L. Thou pson, drafted
by the G.. o. 2. as its candidate
for United States Senator has
waged an energetic sta e-wide
campa gn. A western mining
man, he advocates government
purchase OF all surplus copper
and permanent tariff OF ten
cents a pound on the red metal
Thompson has also been very
specific as to his stand on veter-
ans legislation, coming out fiat
footedly Tor restoration OF vet
erans' benefits with payment in
full from date of their cancella-
tlon and for immediate payment
of the bonus. He endorses old
age pensions, unemployment in
surance and continuation of the
relief program so long as neces-
sary and urges application of
common sense" to the theories
embodied in the New Deal. +"
Royal A. Smith, Arizona min
ing man. candidate for congress-
man, has proven himself a pic
turesque and fiery campaigner
in behalf of a copper tariff that
will permit Arizona mines to
reopen, thereby restoring mar
ket for Arizona produce and
other state products.
With Thompson and Thomas
Maddox, candidate for Cover
nor, be is ledged if elected, to
stump the eleven western states
before congress convenes to or
ganize a copper tariff bloc in

During the campaign Smith

part of the Arizona copper tariff
commission, named by the pres
ent governor. Up to the pres
ent Smith declars and it has not
been denied, this commission
has done nothing to help i'm
prove the mining situation in
Arizona.
Maddox has shown beyond

zona and its needs and has made
numerous friends wherever he
has gone.

OF fortunes and the so-called
redistribution OF wealth" would
mean 20 the people
Therefore, in the year of 1911
the city that had grown up a
round his great industrial en-
terprise was startled by an an
nouncement that the manufac-
turer was going out Of business
that he was going 10 absolutely
break up his fortune.
From production the manu-
facturer turned to destruction
He tore down his factory build
ings, raEed his warehouses. re-
moved railroad switches, emp
tied coal yards, serapped auto
motive equipment. Steamships
that played a part in his busi-
ness were called in and disman-
tied. The steel was sold for
scrap. Furniture, Office sup
plies and other materials were
sold for what they would bring
and the sheriffs and tax-gath err
ers were notified that taxes
would no longer be paid and
that the state could take the
property.
The money resulting from
this breaking up" and scr p
ping Of this large fortune was
divided among the employees
and land that had been produc-
tive for nearly two generations
went back into the state OF
waste it represented in 1905
The city where this industry
had been was in CONSERVATION
Houses were vacated, streetcars
were empty and power plants
were idle Every man now had
a chance TO start over and do
what the old manufacturer had
done 80 years before.
But it was questionable
whether ii could be done under
the new legislation and taxa
tion which had been passed with
the idea of breaking up large
fortunes and redistributing
wealth. The old manufacturer
agreed with the agitators that
he coul eat no more than any
of his workman, in fact he could
not eat as much. He disap-
peared from the city and lived
his remaining days embarrassed
by the agitators who had made
imperative his intelligence,
his vision, his ambition, his in
itiative and his courage which
had furnished employment for
thousands of persons for manv
years and paid to the divisions
of government that were de-
stroying him by taxation, mil
lions and millions of dollars for
their support.
Yes. this is an imaginary
story, but it not at all i'm
probable You can't set your
neighbor's house afire and keep
your own house safe. You can't
destroy capital by inflamauory
and radical policies and expect
your own job to remain safe.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS
FROM PARTY MEETINGS

Most encouraging reports are COM
ing from those places where the Dem
ocrats are holding meetings and the
concensus Of opinion is that the en-
thusiasm for the whole ticket has new
er been surpassed.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee is proving itself on the job;
the Young Mems Democratic Club is
exceedingly active; the Democratic
women are joining in the work; and
the individual voter is giving valuable
service.
There isn't any need Of anxiety as
to the result of the coming election.
There are not enough Republicans in
this county to elect a single candidate.
If any one should go into office, it
will be by Democratic votes. Surely
Democrats think enough Of the party
to give it support, specially when ev-
erything points to a successful adj
ministration at the hands Of those
who are aspirants for county favor.
Vote the straight Democratic ticket
and keep Worcester where she be-
longs.
