POLITICS DOWN ON THE FARM

Some time ago the Syracuse, New York. Journal, in
speaking editoraly Of the dairy situation said "Once
year, at campaign time of politicians Chamber
aboard the milk wagons and stump the state strewng
promises in all the rural districts lavishy the farmer
himself his seeds Experience has shown that few if
any, of these promises fulfilled With possible
exception the net result of all these promises has been
series Of crackpo laws that failed mseraby and left the
farmer worse off than he was before"
This is true of all other agricultural states we'll
New York And wdeawake farmers whether they deal in
milk fruit vegetables stock anything else placing
less trust in political panaceas and trust in their
efforts and their marketing cooperative organizations.
God helps those who help themselves, as applicable
farming any other enterprise The politicians who
manifest great for agriculture at election time
have shown their true coors too often in the past make
it safe to trust them too far in the future.

PROMOTION - OR STAGNATION?

The need of an active, working Commercial Club is
imperative need in Coolidge to get things done for the
commercial advancement of the community The job of
the business people of town is to bring business to town.
This not be effectively done by individual action 1t
CAN be done when all work together for pur
pose Community promotion needs community organiza
ton 1t needs pulling together and in direction With
cooperation the part of commercial interests the
community becomes stagnant, goes backward instead
Of forward.
The places of business in this community in reality
but departments of big store and when the store
whole profits each department will profit When in
creasng number Of people attracted to Coolidge to
buy each store will its share of business But it takes
organized community action to bring people town. One
can't do it.

from here to other towns to work proectsand spend

Instead Of monkeying around about storm and
sidewalks and bond issues and bunk why could not every

hind project of real and lasting benefit to the whole

flood waters Of the San Pedro and end the recurring
of water shortage in the valley? That would be
project which every who lives here could endorse

And what doc he get in return? Of all the billions
spent by local. state and federal governments the man in
the middle gets the least True he does share in the protec

But when the billions for relief and assistance,
it's the big fellow and the little fellow that get the lions

And the story goes on! The little fellow gets free

GOOD MANAGEMENT SHOWS Up

H Is refreshing at the end of the fiscal year to find at
eSt one state institution that does spend every dime
appropriated Tor It's USE In report recently issued bv
superintendent j. w. Waldron of the Arizona Pioneer
iome at Prescott he states:
Floneers Home will have surplus of around ten
thousand dollars July first most of which will be re-
turned to the Treasury
ms surplus is due to combination of circumstance
es first Governor Stanford other State Officers have
al all times given me hundred per cent cooperation
second, slight decrease in the of commodities used
at the Home instead of the increase anticipated which in
the Legislature recognized and made appropriations
accordingly; third exceedingly luck in choice of per-
sonnel and from the lowest empoye to the highest
received loyal support The Home and its guests have been
at all times supplied with everything that actually
needed and as stated before the Appropriation Commit
tee of the regular session of the Legislature early last
IL making an appeal for additional money for operating
the Home for the ensuing two years due to increased costs
OF supplies, etc. that since not unlawful to return
unexpended balances, that would be DONE 60
ing to be on July first
In conclusion Mr. Waldr9n says: eff good luck con-

surplus should be proportionately about the
for the six months period ending DECEMBER 3D. 1885,
at which time probably other will be guiding
