Editor Coolidge Examiner:
1 read your editorial, ''The Slot
Machine Menace" in my copy Of
last weeks Examiner, and want
you to know that it met with my
hearty approval.
I know how weak the flesh is,
even among us grown-up boys and
girls, and am in favor Of remov-
ing all temptations from the youths
Of this county. I am also sure that
the slot machines have an attrac-
tion for many young men and young
women, and since that is true, and
the further fact that their opera
ton is in violation of our State
laws, I believe they should not be
permitted in Pinal County.

the skill that put him at the top of
trcnc riding contests won at Cal

big rodeos in 1886.
He knows how to handle a show
just as we'll as he does a mean

large meaure for the tremendous
success of Casa Grande's Cowboy
Days les5 year. So Earl is again
Arena Director for the Casa Grande

the participation of rodeos best

continent, when Cowboy Days is
again staged Jan. 30-31.
John Bowman, new all-around

runner-up; Everett Bowman, third
in all-around scoring; Johnny
Rhodes, roping champion; Pete
Knight, bucking horse champion;
and Smoky Snyder, steer riding

torial, "The Slot Machine Menace" ="
that appeared in the Thursday, Jan.
IA issue, has evidently started
something" us is evidenced by the
following letters The Examiner has
received since last Thursday, from
citizens who really and truly have
the best interests of Pinal Coun-y
at Leart.
The rusade against gambling in
Pinal CcAuty will gain strength rs
it proceeds, perhaps slowly, but in
the end it will accomplish the pur-
pose and pinal County will be free
from the gambling curse.
There are two slot machine
organizations operating in Coolidge,
and, The Examiner has been in
formed, they are warning one n
other for placements. Coolidge up
10 the present has been such a wide
open field for slot machine con
Germs that the surprise is that there
are not more than two companies
seeking locations here.
The Examiner hopes everyone
will read the letters following, and
that they will be inspired by them.
Each of the authors of the follow
ing letters ere well-known citizens
Of Arizona. and no doubt the slot
machine menace will appear more
savage than The Examiners :ui-
torial depicted it last week when
these letters have been read and
studied
The question of having the State
laws enforced against gambling is
entirely "up to" the citizens. In
this connection The Examiner has
been told that Coolidge is a gambl-
ing town, and it would be impos-
siEle to enforce the anti-gambiing
law here" The Examiner does not
believe it, and is going to keep
hammering away in an effort to
determine whether or not Coolidge
is a gambling town" in which it is
impossible" to enforce the State
laws.
