Good news for independent mer-
chants of the state is contained in a
statement by Attorney General Will
liam S. Erwin last week that he will
carry the fight to sustain the con-
stitutionality of the unfair practices
act to the highest court in the land
the United States Supreme Court.
The law was challenged by the
Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
pany which asked for an injunction
permanently restraining the enforce
ment of the act which was granted
by the Federal court.
The main purpose of the unfair
practices act, as passed by the last
Legislature, was to prohibit sales
below cost or the use of so-called
'losS leaders" which gives chain
stores, with their unlimited capital,
an unequal advantage over the in
dependent merchant.
The sooner small businessmen learn
that it is not workers and farmers
organizations, seeking to raise pur-
chasing power, which is hurting them
but the economic royalists" who
have a stranglehold on the means of
production, the sooner will they be
able to protect themselves against
the encroaching monopolies on con-
sumers goods.

TUMACACORI
DEPICTSFAITH

Mission San Jose de Tumacacori,
on the Nogales- Tucson highway
near Nogales, is monument to the
sturdiness and faith of the padres
of Spain who fought against long
odds to carry Christianity to the
savage of the Southwest, and most
particularly to Padre Eusubio Kino,
who founded it probably as early
as 1891.
The adobe edifice, the partly re-
stored remains of which now stand
on the site, is believed to have been
built in 1920, the last of probably
several.
Modern records indicate the vii
lage of Tumacacori first was placed
in charge of resident priest in
1701, apparently before that having
been used as vista by the padres
who constructed a. chain of missions
across the Southwest.
About 1900 there appears to have
been a disastrous raid by disgrunt-
led Indians which not only resulted
in the razing Of the mission, but in
wiping out of practically all Of the
inhabitants of the village. The
padres, however, presistently built

again.
A 10 acre area including the ruins
of the mission has been set aside as
a national monument under tht pro-
lection of the national park service,
and such records of the romantic
past that the ravages of time and
marauding Indians have allowed to
remain now carefully are preserved.
The walls of the pesent mission
are six feet thick at the base, off
setting halfway up the finish with
adobe blocks 80 inches thick. The
tower, as usual in Spanish missions,
never was completed.

Boost For NOgafes
Development and publicizing this
route, officials said, will place No
gales in a position of Importance
on what should be one of the most
heavily travelled of all western
highways.
Mr.. Helm said members of the
organization had expressed con-
Germ over the possible retarding of
progress on the construction work
in Mexico, as a result of the ex-
preparation of foreign oil properties.
Governor Yocupicio, who recently
returned from Mexico City where
he attended a conference of COVER
nor's called by President Lazaro
Cardenas, expressed the belief that
the government would soon find an
outlet for it's oil.
B. j. Russell of Phoenix, organ
ization director for the highway, re-
ports that requests for specific in
formation on various portions OF
the route are coming from every
section of the United States. Mr..
Russell said, with the opening OF
the current season, we are discover
ing a wide spread interest in the
new road. We believe this indicates
that the motoring public Is be-
ginning to realize the scenic and
recreetional advantages offered in
the area served by the highway.

Early Completion OF Important
Highway Is Assured By Governor
Yocupicio; Road To Boost Nogales

General Romen Yocupicio, gov
ernor of Sonora, is positive Mexi-
co.'s present turbulent political state
