COOLIDGE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE 1884
Communicated

At the regular meeting of the
Coolidge Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday night outgoing officers
and chairman made their an
nual reports and the new officers
installed. Mr.. Leonard Spruell
was chosen secretary.
Under the leadership of B. c..
Lettering as president; the year
closes with a number of lesser
achievments. but generally con-
ceded of outstanding recognition
are two: The big day on April
10th when the trainmen's con-
vention being held in Tucson,
visited Coolidge by special train
bringing 400 B. of L. F. & E.
guests TO our city. This large
party was banquted at the pic
mic grove of the Casa Grande
National Monument and shown
through the Ruins in parties of
% each, being entertained dur
ing the banquet by the Sacaton
Indian band. The numerous
letters of appreciation of the
hospitality of Coolidge and the
stated intention of many of
coming this way again, ment
an unestimated amount of fav-
orable advertising for this COM
munity.
The other outstanding achiev-
ment is the now nearly complet-
ed brick courtroom and Jail.
For two successive years the
Coolidge Chamber of Commerce
has closed its records with mon
ey on hand, and a voting mem
bership of over the hundred
mark. The new year is all set
and ready to go, with a substan-
tial paidup membership at the
very beginning. With the right
kind of community cooperation,
there is no such word as fail.

may have gone for years with

The influence of cooperative
associations has been particu-

management along these lines.
The co-ops, by bringing spec

of farm problems, have made
great progress, and individual
farmers are following the lead.

cess to IL. The source OF this
wealth long has agitated public
curiosity. One explanation has
been a supposed secret gold
lode. since Scotty habitually
disappears on mysterious pros
pecting trips.
Ii has been some time since
Scotty was in town, expressing
annoyance at the difficulty OF
getting a $1,000 bin changed,
and exhibiting a $1,000 bill
without explaining his wealth.

COUNT OUR BLESSINGS

The grass is always greener in the other fellows
yard, it seems. The realization that greener pas
lures may sometimes be found right at home
is usually learned only after bitter experience.
Now that freak spell of winter weather has
apparently departed, residents of this valley can
compare conditions here to those prevailing in
other sections of the country, and consider their
own back yard one of the greenest.
There is some damage here, to be true, but per-
haps 80 per cent or more of the growers will come
through unscathed. Will, in fact, find their con-
dition greatly improved, for until the cold spell
prices of fruits and vegetables quite low.
Now, with a shortage apparent in nearly every
crop over the Northwest local growers are find
ing that their potatoes, their apples their squash
and other produce is worth good deal.
The weather was as cold here as elsewhere; the
fact that this is the earliest district in the state;
that crops can be harvested before freeze-ups
come more than offset minor disadvantages.

WHEN spEND1Na's OK.

There have been numerous protests against the
spending of vast sums by the federal government
for the purpose Of Fastening recovery. Many OF
these protests have been mostly TRADES against
the administration and condemnations OF its pol
cies One of the first sensible articles about this
matter of spending we have read was written for
recent issue of the Grange News by Ira Shea.
In citing one instance of the potests against
this spending program, Mr., Shea says:
eve find business leaders in the Spokane trade
area lined up to man behind the vast appropria
lions for the Grand Coulee DAM They are now be-
hind movement to get larger appropriation tor
Fort George Wright.
''They backed the movement 100 per cent to
bring the CCC camps into the Inland Empire:
They have pulled every possible string to get
PWA and WPA funds into the district and all
this has been done under the guise of helping to
lift the depression.
''But after all these raids on the federal trea-
sury, these same are leaders in a group that
are howling stop this orgy of federal spending
Personally don't like this vast spending pro-
gram but the STOP order doesn't come very
gracefully from those who have been instrumental
in making the biggest raids on the federal trea-
sury."
The conditions which Mr.. Shea pointed out in
one single instance may be found in nearly every
section of the state fact, in nearly every section
OF the country NOW, II This spendlng program is
so reprehensible why ism It something done to stop
it, Surely, people who do not believe in accepting
loans from the government are not forced to ac
cept them.
The responsibility Of government rests upon the
shoulders of each individual. There have been
many charges that the federal administration has
not discharged it's responsibilities in a proper
manner, but have those who make these charges
stopped to consider whether they have Lived up to
their responsibilities?
The old adage that one should practice what he
breaches still holds good. If there must be cur
tailment of this spending program, as some de-
fact as we'll as in theory by those advocates
