SCIENCE AND DEMOCRACY

Recently DR.. Robert A. Millikan,
the noted scientist, returning from
Europe. said that democracy hope
lies in the application of the
scientific approach to government.
Commenting editorially that there
is undoubtedly a connection be
tween democracy and science, the
New York Times says:
THE freedom of thinking and in
quiring which is the very essence
of the scientific approach is direct
offspring of the liberty, equality and
fraternity for which believers in
democracy laid down their lives.
Hence. the fight for democracy is
the fight for science-the fight for
the objective method that has given
us so many discoveries.
at is no accident that neithe-
fascism nor communism foster
science with this detachment.
Mussolini insists that a laboratorj
worker must be good Fascist first
and a good scientist second. AT the
Heidelberg celebration of last year
it was officially proclaimed that
science for sciences sake is non
sense. The stake of the scientist
in democracy is heavy. If the pail
osophy that gave US political free
dom is destroyed. science must be-
come the serf of the State. 1t VIII
be impossible for Newton. Oar
win. a Mendel, or an Einstein to
lift his voice and live. Yet there
are Fascists and Communisla
enough among scientists-men who
fail to realize that if democracy
goes their old freedom Of investig;-
ton and of theorizing goes too and
that they become technologists and
mechanics"

Need Of Homes
Told In Report

CLEVELAND, OHIO.-Need for
the construction of less expensive
dwellings. TO check the growing
shortage of available id habitable
accommodations in the lower priced
brackets, was stressed in the re-
Gently published Real Property In
ventory for Cleveland and Guva-
hoga County for 1886.
The report revealed that SO pei
cent of the 81, ,5S2 family units in
the city are now occupied. Wh"e
largest vacancies were found in the
highest and lowest priced groups
of accommodations few habitablc
accommodations suitable for tie
low-income families are vacant.
Among cheaper accommodations
many now occupied are actually
substandard and afford few of the
elements of good housing 1t was
also pointed out that many families
are still Irving doubled up, since
they have been unable to find de
cent living quarters
Vacancies are lower now than at
any period in recent years. They
have dropped steadily from the
high point of 9 per cent reached in
1892. From 1895 to 1886 vacan-
cies decreased approximately l pei

Pioneer Of Pinal
County Is Buried

James Kiley Mccarthy, pioneer.
died at the age of S5, in the Pinal
Hospital at Florence Saturday July
10, and was buried Sunday evening
in the Florence cemetary. His par
ents came from Ireland to Ameri-
ca when he was less than one year
old. He spent many years of his
younger life in COLORADO and New
Mexico, and settled in Pinal county
some so years ago when life in
these parts was a risky hazard. Mr..
Mccarthy was a leader in the de-
velopment of farming and minlrg
industries and is said to be the first
man to have introduced long staple
cotton in this valley, and also first
to install an individual pumping
system for irrigation purposes. He
is survived by his wife, Cecile, and
a son, John, both of whom are resi-
dents of Florence.

Electric Service
For Rural Homes

The Rural Electrification pro
gram sponsored by the San Carlos
Irrigation & Drainage District is a
project of 124 miles and is to serve
500 customers in Pinal County and
is of vast importance to every rural
resident who can avail himself OF
this service. as it means better Nv
ing comforts and cheaper power on
the farms.
REA has approved a wholesale
energy contract between the pro-
iect sponsors and the Department
of the Interior. The latter VIII
furnish energy to the lines, from
the hydro-el development at
Coolidge Dam.
Invitations to bid on the construc-
tion of distribution lines in Pinal
county will be issued in the very
near future. When these have been
opened and tabulated they will be
forwarded to the REA, and upon
approval the construction contract
will be signed and actual work be-
gun.
Adherence to the REA normal
progress schedule will enable oul
valley farmers to begin using
electricity sometime this fall.

Productive Land Is
Still The Best Bet

A trip by auto, from Dakotas,
through Wyoming, Colorado, and
New Mexico to Arizona, shows Il
very great amount of what appears
to be pure waste land. Several
years of drought in the Northwest
has practically destroyed much of
the native grasses, and in an at
tempt to rebuild native grazing on
government controlled lands it is
reported that a restriction has beer
made that limits the grazing permit
to one head of cattle on 80 acres
of land We would rather not guess
at the amount of milk cow might
produce, after running all over 30
acres to get something to eat. Hang
on to your productive land, any
where, as it is still the basis OF ali
real wealth. Grasshoppers and
drought have again hit the North
west, especially the Dakotas, where
it is said every crop since 1922 has
failed to pay the cost of production.

Prepare For Harvest
Business In Valley

Harvest time is coming and with
it the increased activities of all
business concerns. Prepare for
your share by advertising your
merchandise to local consumers,
and use the local paper for your
printing needs. Maybe the world
owes you living-but the best way
is to go get it yourself. This paper
is read by all members of the fami-
ly, and borrowed by the neighbors,
in this neighborhood. We even have
some folks who will not subscribe
to the paper, but who come in
religiuosly each week and buy
copy for cents. 1t is worth more,
but it costs much less to subscribe
for the year Either way suits us.

DEMOCRATIC
LEADER TAKEN
BY DEA 7 H

Joseph T. Robinson, Senator
from Arkansas, and powerful demo
cratic leader in the United States
Senate died Tuesday morning this
week, in his Washington apartment.
Death was caused by heart failure.
brought on by the terrific strain
of the current Senate debates on
the Supreme Court Bill.
Mr.. Robinson was a 1928 caldi
date for the office of Vice Pl.esi-
dent, being the running mate of
Al Smith.
With this untimely death of Joe
Robinson, President Roosevelt lost
one of his strongest supporters in
the u. S. Senate. His death may
well be classed as a national loss.

School Facilities
Being Planned

The following letter TO the Board
of Trustees, Coolidge School Dis
trict No. 21 is of interest, as il
presents an outline of prospective
plans for additional school facilities
for this community. The let:erfol-
lows:
The Board of Trustees
Coolidge School District No q
Coolidge. Arizona
Dear Trustees:
The public hearing you called
relative to a discussion of a build
ing program for your district was
of much interest to your conf
munity. The presentation by your
Principal, Mr.. Kirby, of the facts.
plans, facilities, enrolment. at
tendance of pupils. etc in that dis
trict together with the statistical
growth of the school established
the one definite fact in the minds
of the people: that additional class
room space is seriously needed and
is imperative for the ensuing year.
The participation in this meeting
indicated that the people of Coo
lidge have been thinking about the
matter and there is no question but
that you have given various plans
due consideration.
Since it was my privilege to hear
the discussion, | should like to pre-
sent a few suggestions for your
consideration. In considering the
building of a Junior High School
Jointly with the Coolidge Union
High School the legal question
would necessarily cause you some
difficulties. The Union High School
is composed of two separate gram
mar school districts, both of which
would have to sanction the expendi-
ture. Again, as was brought ont in
the meeting. this plan would take
care of only your seventh and
eighth grades. which are the two
grades having the least enrolment.
With reference to building
separate unit on another site, IN
/ economic question prevails Ad-
ditional expenditure for grounds,
architectural plans, heating ana
sanitary facilities, janitoral seryi-
ces. as we'll as extra transporta-
tion problems are involved.
/ The original plans for the present
school plant carry architectural
4 drawings for additional cclassroolns
/ It seems to me that the most eco
nomical procedure would be to com
pIete this unit. provide six extra
classrooms together with WORK
rooms and laboratory facilities,
utilizing your auditorium, heating
system and sanitary equipment. The
principals administrative problem
would be more easily taken care Of,
Janitor services would be less eX-
pensive. as we'll as the up-keep OF
the grounds.
No doubt in the future Coolidge
will need additional buildings and
educational facilities, but as the
district increases in population the
wealth will increase and the pr
ent Indebtedness will be reduced to
( the extent that additional funds Will
be available when needed for the
future building program.
Action should be taken at ouce
by the school electors of the Coo
lidge District for making provision
for the education of their children
If this office can be of any helT
to you in any way, please command
our service.
Very truly yours,
