Listen, World
By Elsie Robinson

I want to leave the highway
with it's ease,
It's duco finish and its safety
zones,
And hit for some small wood
road, rough and wild,
That never knew a cop or saw
sign.
A little wood road where I'll wet
my feet,
And scratch my face and muss
my marcelled hair,
And tear my dress and dirty
both my ears,
And get a big, fat tick right on
my neck!
Where nobody will tell me
where to go,
But where I'll find Adventure
And see green Magic sinking
through the shade,
And hear again Romance's mad'
sweet call
I like wood roads.
They are so dark, so naughty,
and so full of ticks,
And you can never tell what
you will find,
If you have heart to follow
where the wood road leads.
I like wood roads.
PERHAPS THAT'S WHY I'VE
ALWAYS LIKED BAD PEO-
PILE BETTER THAN GOOD
ONES.
You're so sure what you will
find in good ones.
ON SAFETY!
BUT I DO GET so FED UP

Great judge. Greater Man

With the death of oliver Wendell Holmes this country loses
its abest jurs John Marshalone whose opinions,
whether adopted rejected by the Supreme Court have in
fluenced American life profoundly the acts of any
statesman.
The career of Justice Holmes spanned nearly century
It began when the nation group OF feeble States
when was half free and half slave when the East was
developed and the West a wilderness.
It ended with America despite its difficulties the greatest
power earth.
In bringing about this result Justice Holmes did much
as any other man, and infinitely more than most
Theodore Roosevelt, who appointed MIR. Holmes to the
supreme bench summed up his qualifications for the office
in these words:
"The ablest lawyers and greatest judges men
uuhose past has brought them into close relationship
uvith the ueaties and most pOWerful clients, and
glad uOhen find Judge Who has been able to
preserve his aloOfness of mind to keep his broad
human sympathy for the class from which he has NOT
drouUn clients"
Known always as liberal Justice Holmes sought to build
up the authority of the Constitution and of democratic
ernment.
Never radical it he who laid down the axiom which
nnovator at Washington have forgotten: "Free compet
tion is worth more to society than it COSTS
His wise counsel, his deep feeling for the underprveged
his outlook life have set his felowcountrymen

known to more officials in all
the executive departments than
many Representatives in Con-
gress whose length Of service
far exceeds hers.
In view of the millions Of dol.
lars which the Federal Govern.
ment is now expending for relief
in Arizona the creation Of the
office of gubernatorial lobbyist
at Washington at a salary Of
$500 could be resented in both
Houses of Congress and at both
ends of Constitution Avenue as
an indefensible waste of public
funds.
Such lobbyist stationed per.
manently in the Federal City
could make it harder, rather
than easier, for the Senators
and Representatives in Congress
from Arizona to pass legislation
of vital interest to the State.
This is only the latest of many
examples to be found among the
States OF the waste of public
funds on useless offices.
In State after State millions of
dollars are being squandered in
the upkeep of an obsolete system
of county and local government.
There are more than 5000
counties in the United States
each with it's own set of county
officials.
This is the system of govern.
ment which was set up in the
lays of the oX-cart and is wholly
unnecessary, wasteful and inef-
ficient in the automobile age.
These more than 5000 coun.
ties could with advantage be re-
duced to 300 in number. This
reduction would save the Ameri.
can people hundreds of millions
of dollars in taxes expended to
maintain this ox-cart system of
county and local government.
FATUOUS PROPOSAL
But instead of embracing
every opportunity to modernize
this obsolete system by the re-
duction of governmental units
within the States by the elimina.
tion of useless officials by stop
ping the waste of public funds
expended in the maintenance of
these unnecessary offices, the
legislatures of many States are
still adding to the number of Of
ficialS whom the people are
taxed to support.
If the Arizona legislature
adopts the fatuous proposal of
Governor Moeur and sends to
Washington a $500 lobbyist
it will make the State of Ari-
zonia ridiculous in the Federal
city.
1t will station at the National
Capital a walking delegate for
that Government of Politicians,
by Politicians, for Politicians"
which is so largely responsible
in State after State for the re-
tention of an obsolete system of
government handed down from
the age of the ox-cart.

he alarmed at the condition OF

And, of course, Mr.. Morgan

On the face of things, at the
outset this looked like a walk
away for Bolivia. Size had twice

Paraguay. For this little jacka-

A collection of new notes on
old subjects: The Texas legisla-
ture has decided to do something
concerning the Texas Rangers.
At one time it was quite a dis
tinction to be numbered among
these boys. Scarcely more than
one hundred were in their ranks
when they fought the Mexicans
and drove the Comanches from
off'n the ranches"
They continued to be a picked,
exclusive band until recent years.
Then commissions began to go
around freely, and Texas now
has almost as many rangers
real, deputy, special and hon.
orary-as Kentucky has colonies.
The purpose now is to restore
the ranger to his pristine ex-
cluSiveness, to his status at the
time that a certain mayor, fear
ing a riot, put in a telephone
call to the governor" to send the
Rangers"
MORGAN MOTIVES
The mayor was at the station
to meet them: and when the
train pulled in, a solitary, long,
lean figure swung to the plat
form.
"But you are alOne!" said the
excited mayor. "I asked for the

One of the silliest pieces of
legislation propose to any
State legislature for a long
time is that just recommended
in the senate committee of the
whole to the legislature of Ari-
zona. This is the proposal,
sponsored by the governor of
Arizona, that the State create
a new office-the "AmbaSsa.
dor" at Washington for the
governor of Arizona.
This new official would draw
a salary from the State of
$500 a year. The governor
says he needs such a man at
Washington to attend the buSi-
ness which the two Senators
and Representative in Congress
from Arizona have not time to
look after.
WASTE OF FUNDS
He says he spent $1,500 of
his own money on two trips
to Washington last year and
got $22,000,00O for the State.
BY stationing a permanent
lobbyist in washington he ap-
parently hopes to get many
more millions from the Federal
Treasury to be expended in
Arizona.
