VALLEY CITIZENS ADVOCATING
DIVISION OF PINAL COUNTY

Whe representatives from the
Florence, Casa Grande and Coo
lidge civic organizations met in the
office of Justice Of the Peace
Thompson here last Tuesday eve
ming one of the most important
questions that has arisen in Pinal
County for many years was dis
cussed. It relates to dividing Pinal
County into two counties.
The agitation for such a proceed
ure is based upon the refusal of
County Supervisors Heron and
Thurman to consent with County
Supervisor Burgess to ask for the
state appropriation for 100000
for development purposes in Pinal
County. Supervisors Heron and
Thurman represent mining dis
tricts, while the civic bodies in the
Florence. Casa Grande and Coo
lidge communities represent agri-
cultural interests which have in the
past ten years, during which much

districts.

State Ranges
Near Normal

AriZona's ranges showed improve

although there was wide variation
in conditions between districts, a
report issued by M. F. Wells, agri-

The report gave the state average
as 50 per cent of normal, an in

This matter is now so deeply

horn long and loud at every street
intersection. We concluded that
he was either celebrating or had
had one drink too many However
the laugh was On us, when upon
reaching Monterrey, we found this
to be the law. Leaving New Lare-
do we passed through mostly
virgin land en- route to Monterrey
as rich land as ther is on the
American side, still awaiting de-
velopment and irrigation, except
ing limited farm areas in some of
the valleys. We gradually climbed
until we passed over divide of 220C
feet thirty-one miles this side of
Monterrey, we came in contact with
the second inspection station. All
of our baggage was still sealed so
was passed on to Monterrey un7
molested, except for the continuously
pestiferous cattle and burros on the
highway.
Arizona could soon stop the
speeding cars if she would only take
a lesson from Mexico. 1t takes
burros and COWS on the highways,
not patrolmen.
Entering Monterrey, our attention
was drawn to a large penitentiary
to the right. We were told that the
convicts who work in the penl-
tentiary are permitted to work for
wages, their earnings being turned
over to their respective families.
From what we could learn it has
considerable more merit than our
method of caring for convict's
families.
We made a mistake in choosing
the fourth of July for our visit to
Monterrey, all hotel rooms had been
reserv d for Texans. Fortunately
Mrs. Louck succeeded in finding
room at dude ranch called
Chipin ,ue, 800 feet above the city
some t'u miles up the mountain
side. 4 hair-pin winding paved
road cost us toll fee of pesos
to gain access TO the much priced
room for the night. Chipinque at

city, as we'll as the nice cool place

The next morning we passed
through the clouds to Monterrey
where we secured a room in the

could eat and sleep in the Ameri-
can way. American breakfast cost
liz pesos or 42c. American lunches
and dinners cost us from IL to 2

By PAUL LOUCKS

In the June 27 issue of Golfers
National Weekly, Owen P. White
wrote an article entitled, Bump
ing Down to Mexico" This article
caused my wife and me consider
able concern, upon reading the
same, as we were at that time max
ing preparations for the long dream
ed-of trip. After considerable medi-
tation on our part, we entered
Mexico at Laredo, Texas, soon afer
the above mentioned article was
published and was so agreably sur
prised at the splendid condition of
the International Highway between
Mexico City and Laredo, Texas
that am heading this article
Gliding Down to Mexico"
We procured our tourist entry
cards of the Mexican Consulate in
Phoenix, where we were told that
we must not enter Mexico with less
than $500 cash as we were not to
seek employment therein, and must
also state the purpose of the con-
templated trip and the duration of
time we expected to spend in Mexi-
co. No passport was necessary, but
some proof of American citiZent
ship is desirable in order to return
home through the American GUS
toms house at the border.
Upon arriving in Laredo, Texas
about 1000 A. M. July the 4, we
were advised at a service station to
get our Mexican entry papers fixed
up at the chamber of commerce..
This we did. as wen as exchange
$500 of American money for 106
/ pesos, as the exchange rate was
! 355 pesaS to the dollar at that time
on the border. We passed over the
international toll bridge about noon,
only to find some 40 to so cars
ahead of us in line, on their way
to Mexico; mostly Texans going to
Monterrey to celebrate American
independence Day. We soon saw
that we were doomed for most of
the afternoon awaiting our turn,
SO we secured a guide for one peso
who directed us to the vehicle de-
partment where a car permit was
secured for three pesos. This per-
nit lists everything on the car,
radio, tires, trunk etc. The inspec-
ton office was in the utmost con-
fusion, due to the mob, so we tipped
the officer who was keeping the
cars in line a peso, this permitted us
to pass around about 80 cars to a
side street in the lead; here our
grips and luggage was taken into
the inspection room. Upon entering
the room we found the inspection
officers in the utmost confusion,
with porters shouting from all
angles and practically no one get.

customs officer resulted in my
porter getting enough seals for
our grips. One grip was opened
but none of the others was ex
amined. Having obtained the
sealed grips we were loaded and
we're soon sent on our way to
Monterrey, 146 miles south, to spend
our first night in Mexico. Upon
leaving New Laredo, Mexico, a
town of $4,000 people, we were

SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

We see by the newspapers that the
American Bar Association is worried about
the condition of the judiciary, fearing that
its independence may be undermined.
This is good and proper, we suppose,
but the lawyers might spend their time
more profitably, as far as the public is con-
cerned, by worrying about the practices of
the shyster members of the legal profess
sion.
Attorneys of great honesty live and
prosper in this country and uphold the
high ideals of the American bar but at the
same time, there are those who seemingly
have no iota of the idealism that is sup
posed to work toward the development of
justice. There are those who, for a fee,
sure enough and big enough, will do any
thing with the principles of law which
they are supposed to uphold, and we
don't mean maybe.
The public generally, which knows
very little of the American Bar Associa-
ton as an organization, will take more
stock in its worries when there is evil
dence that it is interested in cleaning out
the parasites that make justice traveSty.
Of course, every association passes pious
resolutions but that is as much as the
energy is capable of doing.
We have no inclination to denouhce
lawyers as a class, although there are
many people who do. We have great re-
spect for the principles of the law of the
land and honor very much the con-
scientious lawyers who today face the tao
tics of the shyster and the temptation of
huge fees that would make them tools of
crime. At the same time, lawyers might
as we'll face the fact that millions of peo-
pie in the United States have decided, long
ago, that there is one law for the rich and
another for the poor, which is certainly
no recommendation for a noble profess
sion.

SELECTING BEAUTY QUEENS

The selection of beauty queen
has been serious business in many an
American community, rivalling the deci-
sion of the judges in the baby contests that
so often lead to severe condemnation of
the judgment of those called upon to pass
upon such important matters
In this country, by this year of grace,
the public has become somewhat accus-
toned to bathing beauty contests, usually
inspired to attract the yokels and ap-
parently serving no great purpose except
to provide the newspapers with the pic
lures of well-built females who hope to
get an opportunity to show their forms on
the screen and thus secure great wealth as
movie actresses.
1t seems that We treat our national
paStime with much neglect and fail to
generate sufficient emotion. Down in
Nicaragua the other day squadron of the
National Guard was called out to maintain
order when the students at Parleon Uni
versity elected a queen of beauty" Some
of the enthusiasts carried knives and
razors and seemed ready to use them in a
business way on opponents of their ia
vorites.
In the end peace was achieved by
cOmprOmise-twO queens were elected
and thus we get another hint In future
beauty shows in this country we could
elect all entries queens and thus allow
them to return to their homes with the
title and such glory as they may be able to
work up in the local bailiwick.

ABOUT BOY BABIES

Researchers and Statisticians are dig
ging into everything imaginable nowadays,
figuring out the possibilities of this and
that. DIR. A. j. Lotka, a specialist in life
insurance statistics, has been studying the
prevalence of boy babies, and these are
some of his conclusions:
When a boy baby is born he has two
chances out of three to grow up and be-
come father. He has even chances to be-
come the father of a son, but only one
chance in four to become the father of two
sons. A few grow up to have ten sons. but
there is only one chance i'm 1000 that this
will happen.
Many other more or less interesting
conclusions with respect to the perpetual
ton of family name are set forth by DIR.
Lotka, who finally estimates that in about
nine cases out of ten the name will event
ually die out.
He fails, however, to state whether he
thinks this is fortunate thing for the
human race We venture the suggestions
that in most cases it probably is.
