Arizona Overlooking Golden Opportunity

Arizona is overlooking golden opportunity ev
cry four years IN not getting publicity at Dem
ocrat1c and Republican conventions.
1he state got some at the PHILADELPHIA gather
ing last month, thanks to Dr. NJ D. Brayton of Mi
am VINO took to the meeting large quantity of sheet
copper, and delegate who had badges printed for
the Arizona delegates.
Delegations OF only two other states wore badges
showing from what neck of the woods they hailed
Those were Oregon and Massachusetts There was no
way OF identifying the other delegations the official
convention badges all being alike
There great demand for Dr. Braytons COP
per and ne was kept busy making copper belts and
hat bands and the doctor himself wearing ten gal
lon hat adorned with "copper" was the most conspic1-
GUS man in the large convention hall and target for
all news photographers.
Had it not been for Brayton's foresight in tax
ing copper to the convention, California and Texas
would have entirely captured the show The Califor-
MIA delegation, headed by William Jennings Bryan,
Jr carried with them the special California -Ar-
zona train large California banner and took it upon
themselves to let news photographers know the time
OF their arrival in the convention city When the train
pulled into the union station photographers as thick
as fleas dogs back ready to photograph the
Calfornians
The Texas delegates, wearing large ten gallon
Texas Centennial hats, and two or three Arizonans
Who had bought such hats during their stay at Dallas
snroute to Philadelphia, made big hit There was a
great demand for the hats and On the day the con-
vention opened the sombreros purchased for only 81
in Dallas, could have been sold as high as S4O
Arizona, four years from now, should see to it
that it's delegates are dressed in western attire Texas
has no corner on the ten gallon hats. Such hats and
other western features and outfits made of copper,
would put the state ON the map.
It would be wise thing, too, four years from
now to have the Arzonans loaded down with pub
licity material boosting the Baby State At Phade-
phia last month there was not single pamphlet ad
vertsing this state any special Arizona banners
in the parade Of states We should initiate New York,
North Carolina and other states in having printed
profusion of special banners to be carried every time
demonstration gets under way
More than two million patents have been issued in
Washington in the last 100 years some of them for
gadgets that really work
It is said that there were no swear words in the
languages of early American Indians The aborigines
didn't play golf, either.
An Ohio paper announced that pastors sermon
subject would be Fools, and added that call those

Mr.. Andrew C Pedro was requested

ECONOMIC SANITY
itOf.'

1t will not be easy, of course, this task of re-
storing economic sanity to the country. There is
work to do, plenty of work. But if those who wish
to bring about economic sanity devote as much
time and effort to the task as the who attempt
to capitalize economic insanity have devoted to
their task, visible results ought to be Forthcoming.
Such results will not, We make bold to. say, come
without being sought after and worked for; they
will only as the result of intensive and per-
haps prolonged effort. And that effort must be
made, for until economic sanity returns Ste the
country, and to the world, we cannot expect any
soundly based permanent prosperity, fact that
makes any effort put forth completely worth while.
Here is piece of work for all the many citizens of
the United States who still have their feet the
ground and who scorn to thrust their heads into
the sky in search of fantasies that may look beau
tiful hut that sadly unreal. And the first phase
of that work is to the people to realize that
the United States cannot expect to solve its prob
lens by unfolding any theory of self-sufficiency.-

GAMBLING OUT OF HAND

Give gambling an inch and it will take nation.
Once betting exploiters gain a foothold mass de-
ception does the rest. In Boston, for example, a
modified form of roulette known "beano" is stir
ring up hundreds of complaints from merchants
and social workers. Beano started a money
making auxiliary in local church vestries, subject
to municipal regulation. Gaining hold with that
harmless inch, it has expanded to the point where
miniature Monte Carlos have ebowed legitimate
business places off some of the principal streets.
Fake appeal to charity is one of organized gam
bling's main beguilements whether the medium is
pari-mutuel betting which takes the states into
partnership or lottery sweepstakes that make hos
pitfalls their Observation-Disclosures. 1t DISCUSSES the
promoters money-making intentions and eases the
conscience of those who would excuse their hiking
for games of chance. charity is the end and not
the means, why do promoters always take the bulk
of the winnings and give charity a meager frac-
ton, if anything, of the pot? Why don't promoters
take the short end? Or better still, why don't pa
irons give the money directly to exploited bene-
fciaries instead of dropping the biggest part into
the cash registers of commerciahzed gambling?
.sBcano is getting completely out of hand, -
Mayor Mansfield remarked on his departure for
Europe. That is usually the outcome of trying to
temporize with something fundamentally wrong.
SPONSORS of the beano racket have Seen getting

vide that no cash prizes be awarded and that the
profits must be used entirely for charitable, reli-
gious or educational purposes. Protests are pour

Protecting Your Community
By WICKEy WAMBOLDT

annually reaches into one of every
16 homes in this country and
which amounts to a total of l.
100000 desperate offenses against
the law each year.
81 repeat that of the heads of
the families here assembled, one
out of every 16 every year must
suffer the tragedy of loss of prop
crty OF of life by crime. Beyond
this, every person here assembled
is paying a hidden tax which
amounts to minimum of $1,000
month, collected relentessly by
the underworld. When use the
word minimum" l do so in the
most aggravated sense because
the crime tax of America, the cost
of maintaining this filthy overbur-
den of plumber which has fastened
itself upon US, amounts to $12O a
year for every man, woman, and
child within the boundaries of this
country and you may compute Tor
yourself the exact amount with
which you yourself are burdened.
"The memories Of all of US, |
am sure, are long enough to re-
call the stirring days of 1917
when America was plunged into
the necessity of defending nation
al honor. That was a defense of
the home and of the community.
There were marching men and
bands, and waving flags, and a
coalition of every effort toward
victory. Today, however, we find
ourselves in the midst of another
war in which we are threatened
by a foe which outnumbers our
armed forces two to one. Yet,
there is no allied effort, no con-
centration of defense and often
nothing but sheer apathy against
this most desperate menace. | re,
fer, of course, to the onslaught OF
the forces of crime. Once more.

The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-08-11

lieve to be a conservative state
ment, let me tell you that the
armed forces of defense in Amer
lea are 100000 men, while the
armed forces of crime constitute
steadily advancing army, strik-
ing at every city, town and NUM-
cipality in the United States with
an invading force which numbers
more than a half million persons.
These are only the criminals who
make use of dangerous weapons.
The swindlers, embezzlers, petty
thieves, racketeers, chiselers, and
Others of their ilk augment this
immense number until it runs into
the millions and far exceeds the
vast drafted and recruited forces
by which we defended America at
the most crucial period of the
World war. If this statement de-
mands proof, the Federal Bureau
of Investigation has on file the
fingerprints of more than 3,400,-
goo persons who have committed
qtfenses against our criminal laws.

FROM HORSE AND BUGGY TO
MOTOR CAR

Speaking of the horse and buggy days,
an era that is frowned upon and desplseo
nv a certain minority of the cOuntrys cltl-
zens. a writer directs attention to the TACT
that as late as the year 1900 not one uroan
family in a hundred in the United States
owned horse and buggy.
Today, three out of four American fam
lilies have automobiles.
While there may be a faint and hnger-
ing feeling of doubt in the minds OF a lew
thoughtful people as to the question OF how
much of a blessing the motor car IS to man
kind, it is certain that it is generally re-
garded as indispensable to the daily actlVl-
ties of lust about all of the population OF
the country One-fourth of the people VINO
do not own automobiles are almost unanl-
nous in taking position with motor car
owners when it comes down to this propo-
sition. .' ...
However, whether the automobile is
or. is not indispensable equipment In the
American home is a question which may
be left to the decision of individual opinion
THE TiYnes-News calling attention, to
the matter only to say that some progress
has beensmade in this country in the past
35 years in spite of the handicaps OF our
despised system of government and our
economic and social conditions.
From no automobiles to around 20 mil
lion automobiles in less than third OF
,century-not to mention scores of other
evidences of development and progress
equally as gigantic and astounding as the
motor car industry-is certainly some IN
dictment of our American way of living
and doing.
The truth is, regardless of criticism OF
t'horse and buggy days." or Americanlsm,
or the American economic and social sys-
tenn, there is not person of the least IN
telhgence in the country who does not
know that as far as material progress is
concerned this country has far outstripped
all the other countries of the world; and
that we have in the United States the
greatest diffusion of opportunity, OF
wealth, and the highest standards OF ma
terial prosperity known anywhere in the
world. ...t 80
The development of the motor car m
dustry is merely an object lesson in Ameri-
can material and mechanical progress. The
fact should not be overlooked that while
it has been taking place, many other lines
of industry have made comparable prog
ress and the country has enjoyed remark
able period of growth, in spite Of the fac1
that the course has not always afforded
smooth sailing. a,.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By IKE WALTON

Is there really any cure for nat
ural-born stupidity? Will school
ing ever help? Will preaching
modify it? Will editorials brighten
it up? Well, if writing about one
bit of it can do any good, here
goes. -..
The other day, as was going
! in my old gas-bus to my fishing
hole. and came to the worst place
in the ROAD sharp turn on top
of a hill with two roads coming in
right there - two boys standing
right where a young fellow had
/ been killed a few months ago,
thumbed me when l got within lO
/ feet of them, and then cussed
when l drove on.
Now the cussing didn't hurt at
all, but the stupidity did, it made
me sorry I was human. Why
should those boys have chosen
that exact spot to stand on and
wait until car was right at them!
Why didn't they choose a straight,
clear, stretch of road, and signal
from hundred yards away? Just
lack of sense of course. Now l
have picked up hundreds OF folks
on that road land most of them
on my own invitation. I wonder
, if those same folks would grow
: if l passed them with an empty
car when they were at the wrong
place to stop?
No, sir, there doesn't seem to
be much cure for downright
stupidity. I would like to see a
trial made, where several million
different situations could be
covered by specific instruction, to
see what the batting average in
the result would be.
i Yet it's curious how few people
\ are too stupid to breed. Mark
| Twain said some folks he saw on

ton was taken, its leaders say,
after the council had failed to
make any offer of compromise, al
though various unsatisfactory sug-
gestions were made by i1dividr.-
ais who had no mandate from the
council. .,.s
Each side has miscalculat1d on
at least one important point since
the council first ordered the c. ].
%. to disband last January.
THE CT. o., for its part, didn't
- believe the council would start
suspension proceedings prior to
the federation's annual convention
next January. 1t believed and
still insists that the A. F. of L.
constitution provides fot suspen-
sion or expulsion only by two
thirds vote of the convention.
Since the industrial Unionists
controlled slightly more than :35
per cent Of the vote at the last
convention, they felt such punitive
action would be impossible.
If suspension" comes now, the
craft union heads undoubtedly
will try to follow up by barring
the delegates of the IL unions
through convention machinery
which they will controh
A two-third convention vote Of
expulsion would then be easy to
get. All of which indicates the
probable breakup of labor into
two separate movements. ~
The, council, on the other hand,
seems, to- have figured that it
could scare most of the eight orig
inal member unions out. of the c.
