There Is move being made to
celebrate the ourhundredth 2Lt
iversary of the coming of the willie
ma to Arizona and the Southw st.
That was in lss9s bust AZ years
after Columbus discovered Ameri-
lea, and almost two and half CEN
turtles before the Declaration of
Independence.
Such celebration will be unique
in that no other state can boast of
known explorations at an earlier
date. Arizona may be the baby
state of the Union. but her history
is something else.
There should be general inter
est in such a celebration, for it has
many angles. There is a definitely
religious side, as the first white
man to enter Arizona was Fray
Marcus de Mia, franciscan
padre. 1t was these early mission
aries who brought the first teach
ings of Christianity to the savages
Of the Southwest. There Is the
purely historical angle to be enjoy
ed by those who like to see relics
of a bygone day For them the best
Of the antiques will be brought to
light.
Likely the most thoroughly stud
led view will be that of the mer-
cenary side. There will be tourists
from everywhere, and even the
poorest will have enough for tank
Of gas and hot dog.
In Washington about all that can
be done for the cause is the strik-
ing of commemorative stamp or
coin. The coin is hard to get, but
postage stamps are more often used
for that sort of thing.
1t has been suggested that Ari-
zona's 1899 license plates be de-
signed to advertise the celebration.
1t would at least keep them from
looking like those of 1888.

And I have been in Seattle, and
up in that country around Port
land, and Tacoma and Spokane.
And maybe it sprinkles and show
ers and rainsthere now and then
but they know apples. And ap-
pies, boy; they raise 'em big, and
delicious-Hood Rivers, and Yaki-
mas, and Wenatchees, etc.
But this election there in Seattle,
which l started out to talk about,
it looks like they know something
about politics, out there, too. And
sorting out the sour apples and
crabapples from their Newtown
pippins, it is their dish.

DISCOVERED THAT HIS IN

One of the queer matters which
have been brought to the atten-
ton of WPA administrators, is
the case of John Nissen, a relief
employee in Toledo, Ohio, and
shows the laxity of investigators,
in that part of the country, at
least.
The Tax Revision Board cut the
taxes on some property in Lucas
county. but declined to cut the
taxes on others. John Nissen. the
owner, appeared before the board,
accompanied by his wife, to pro-
test the assessments.
The board refused any further
reelection, and when the NOM
bers found out that the owner
had seven houses, and received
$40 monthly, and. to cap the eli
max, was on the relief rolls of
Lucas county. Nissen was remov-
cd from the rolls. the admins
