His tale of two inebriated gentle
men, who ny mistake went to
a Broadway show, where the en-
tire first act ran for sixty-one
minutes with only one person on
the stage, was gem. With any
one else telling the story it would
have been flatter than last
years pancakes, for it was his
perfect timing, his deft charac-
terization of two happy drunks,
and his apt psychology of the
situation that made superb en-
tertainment. Eventually the con-
verSation got around to other
persons and impressive Situa-
tions, IiterioritY compleXes,
etc, and Mrs. Craven told the
story of a well-knoWn actress
friend of hers, who, when her
young daughter was going out
to give a performance in front
of the carriage trade" so to
speak, and was nearly scared
skinny, informed her, Don't
worrg,, my dear, when you get
right down to it, people, no
matter who they are, are moth
ing but just folks, after all"

IF YOU are the type of person
Il whom rothing ever surprises,
just skip this paragraph. How
ever, loads of other people we're
surprised, and in a big way, at a
recent b eautiful debutante's

(and the punch was weak and he

makes the above remark very
delicious is the fact that Caro-

that she not only makes A in
chemistry in college, but tutors
in this subject also, at the nomi-
nal charge of dollar an hour.
When Mr.. Talley discovered
that one of his daughters had
gone in for tutoring, he had q
bit of fun himself. by inquiring
about the status of Carolynn's
allowance. She thought it
should be the same as before

Difficult To Forecast Election

INCLUDING the campaign now drawing to close,
the writer has been through sixteen Arizona pri-
mary battles and of all, the present campaign is the
most difficult to forecast.
The safest prediction that can be made concerning
the gubernatoral race is that either James Kerby,
Sidney P Osborn or Bob Jones will be nominated
Tuesday.
Had the election been month ago Kerby undoubt-
edly would have been nominated. He has lost some
strength in recent weeks but is still strong and it is
our opinion that he stands an even chance with Os-
born and JONES' both Of whom have gained a lot OF
ground the past thirty days.
C. NJ Zanders untimely death, an incident that
shocked the entire state has thrown the gubernatora
race into turmoil His followers are now split up
some are for Kerby for Jones, and perhaps the
largest number for Osborn, who, on Wednesday Of
this week, received the endorsement of the Zander
for governor state manager.
After man has died his old organization cannot
hold entirely together all the followers who would
have stood by him had he lived Many of those folks
had second CHOICE therefore, what would have been
Zander voters will be pretty we'll scattered among
the other aspirants for the governor S post.
The International, Democratic partisan paper,
has nothing to say against any of the Democratic
candidates for governor or other offices They are
all good men and women and the state will be in safe
hands regardless of whom the Democrats pick as
their nominee Tuesday.

The Death OF c. M. Zander

MO death in many years has shocked the state as
~ that of c. NJ Zander who was killed in an airpane
crash at Benson Tuesday. His passing terminated
the career of man who was almost as famous IN
territorial and state affairs as the late Gov George
W. P Hunt
resident of Arizona for AZ years he did much to-
ward the advancement Of the state One OF MS most
notable achievements was the shifting OF the tax bur-
den from the shoulders of the farmer home owner,
and small business man, to the big mining properties
while he was member of the State Tax Commission
from the time Arizona became a state in 1912 until
1921
Zander sat in the office of the states first COVER
nor George W. P Hunt, on the day that Hunt was
inaugurated on February H. 1912 He heard Hunt say
to a group of big mining executives: "Gentlemen,
appreciate YOUR offers to help make my admlnlStra-
ton success but want you to know that from now
on YOU will pay your pro rata OF taxes from Jnen
ON, Zander who had been appointed by Hunt as a
member of the first state tax commission was Hunt
main man in shifting the tax burden to the big corpo
ratiOns.
During Gov. Hunts seven terms as governor, IAN
der was his closest advisor and was usually with him
on his campaign tours of the state We recall the two
iourneying to Nogales in old touring years ago
long before the state had it's present fine system OF
highways
Zander's speech at the Nogales city plaza Sunday
night less than 48 hours before he killed, was
masterpiece and entirely free of harsh words about
his opponents for the gubernatorial nomination. 1t
was pronounced the best address of the campaign in
this city.
His long career as one of AriZOnas leading states
men was honorable in every way. Had he lived and
been elected next Tuesday he would have made the
state governor such as ArZona's grand old man
George W. P Hunt. His host of friends deeply
grieved over his tragic death

Worth While Results Will Follow

tons surrounding the mining industry were present

Keeping The Record Straight

CECRETARY HULL'S latest note to Mexico is by
~ no means an ultimatum demanding return OF
American lands seized by the Cardenas government
It is rather the reassertion of legal claim Some
Americans had feared that Washington's good
neighborliness' was going to permit American
claims to go by default When large oil properties
were taken over in March, Mr. Hull protested but in
such mild way that there were cries that right
of sesure" was being tacitly recognized
On July 21 the United States government stated
the legal case, declaring such seizures were not ex-
preparation but confscation unless payment OF own
ers was provided for That claim was registered in be-
half of farm lands taken since 1927 but appeared to
keep the legal record straight also for the OIL prop
critics The latest note is reaffirmation Of the Amer
lean position 1t is particularly firm in rejecting the
implication of the Mexican reply that it is all right
to take lands from American nationals and not pay
for them so long lands Of Mexican nationals are
also seized.
But Mr. Hull gives no hint as to how the legal po-
siton is to be enforced His official statement of in
ternational law appears unimpeachabe. The settle
ment however, is likely to depend on how much pres
sure the United States and will exert.-Chrstia,

Zander Arizonan
For AZ Years

C. M. Zander, who was killed
Tuesday, is survived by son,
Lieut.. Dean Zander, 80, now with

dren.
Mr.. Zanders wife died in 1905
and their only daughter, Marie

water) was killed in an automobile
accident on September Is. 1896, a
few days before the state Demo
cratic convention in Phoenix that
year.
Mr.. Zander's wife before her
marriage was Miss Cara Miller OF
Tempe, a relative of United States
Senator Carl Hayden.
Zander was born in Milwaukee
Feb. 8, 1877, and later lived in
Omaha before coming to Arizona in
1896. His first job was as a route
boy for the Omaha Bee. Later he
became a reporter on a Phoenix
paper.
During the constitutional con-
vention at Phoenix in 1910 it was
largely through his efforts that
George w. P. Hunt, later Arizona S
first governor, was elected presi-
dent of the convention.
Zander at the time of his death
owned considerable acreage in the
rich Buckeye irrigation district and
also several mining properties.

HITTING THE sAWDUsT TRAIL

The National Battery Manufactur-
ers' Association has asked Admins
traitor Andrews of the Fair Labor
Standards Act to set 40 cents an hour
as the minimum for their factories.
That is the highest he can go; the as
sociation claims that the average wage
in their factories is 73 cents an hour;
and they want to be rid of the compe-
tition of the chisellers who pay less.
This, of course, is very welcome te
Mr.. Andrews, who is reported to have
wished aloud that more employers
would "hit the sawdust trail' to ask
for the highest minimum wage he car
fix. There may be some groups OF
employers who will accommodate him
So far, however, no sign of such con
version has come from the textile in
dustry, or the big four tobacco COM
panies, or the lumber industry OF the
South, where wages go as low as lC
or Is cents an hour.
