ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

When fasteners learn that yOu
are from Arizona they never fail
to ask a few questions. What about
the cowboys, do they still carry
guns? Do the Indians go on a
rampage once in a while? Do "Guy-
la" monsters kill many people?
Those are the things they always
ask. To them the West is an exotic
land where anything can happen.
They think that beyond the Pecos
there is no law worth mentioning,
so, many westerners in Washing
ton acquire such nicknames as
Sage-brush, Cowboy, and Cactus.
1t is all because people still want
to believe that there is just such
a wild-and-woolly place where bad
men shoot it out with sheriffs and
rangers, and the chili-con-carne is
so hot it will take the hide off of
your tongue.
That is what they think in Wash
ington, and yet, right here in this
beautiful capitol of ours is one Of
the most lawless gangs in the cou
ntry. In the West a woman can feel
safe enough walking down the aver
age street in the evening, but
plenty can happen to her here.
Every day brings some new outrage
committed against Washington wo-
men. Less than a week ago gov
ernment employe was beaten and
robbed on one of the capitoPs most
fashionable streets. She is now re-
covering in a hospital.
In Washington, naturally enough,
the Emancipation Proclamation is
carried out almost to the letter. AS
there are practically no restrictions
outside of the price element,
single block or even a building may
house families from both side of
the color line. There is a conglo-
meration of Harlem, Fifth Avenue
and Main Street.
Here flourish rackets that would
make the smalptown tough guy
wonder where he had spent so
much of his life. Remember the
ten-cent chain letter that swept the
country few years ago? They
broke up one here yesterday that
was using specially printed forms
and taking the suckers for six dol
lars each. 1t was operated by a
gang of swindlers.
Is the West tough? Why here
they do not even say chili-con-car-
ne. They call it chill, and it will
take the enamel off of your teeth.

MUCH CREDIT DUE TO KAY
DAVIDSON FOR ART WORK OF
DESERT DUST"


For the past two years the ma
jority of the cartoons appearing in
the school paper have been drawn
by Kay Davidson.
This art work has done much to
enliven and give individuality to
Desert Dust. In drawing for the
paper, Kay has always made her
pictures to illustrate some article
or to fit an occasion, and she has
ever been willing to carry out any
suggestions offered by Miss Bran
don or the journalism class. Much
work is required in order to have
these nice pictures in the paper.
First, Kay had to draw sketch
of the picture on plain paper and
then stencil it, painstaking kind
of work which takes much time.
The journalism class especially
wants to thank Kay for her help
in making Desert Dust" a success.

We have noticed where public servants, supported by
public taxes have used the mony of Coolidge tax payers
to purchase supplies out of town. supplies that could just
we'll have been purchased in Coolidge Just why local
business should not even have chance to bid on such
supplies is beyond understanding. 1t might be well for
local tax spendes whose bread and butter bought by
local tax to at least give local business chance TO
supply their needs, before going elsewhere.
We are going into further detail on these matters
from time to time and publish facts they and they
affect Coolidge business interests We going to keep
