Governor Is Not Responsible
For Elected Officials Budgets

ALTHOUGH the state Of Arizonas governmental
"A budget is higher this year than last, Governor
Bob Jones did the proper thing when he refused to
make any recommendations as to the amount to be
appropriated for the operation Of state departments
to which officials are elected by the people.
The functions of state officials whom the people
may elect, though their offices subordinate
to that of the governor not under SYSTEM the
responsibility of the governor Whether not they
should be is question that is debatable many stu
dents of government have found fault with the ong
ballot by of which, from county clerk to state
tax commissioner the people elect almost all officials
But the system being what it is see reason why
the governor should be held accountable for the acts
of officials who, by Arizonas constitution and stat
utes accountable only to the voters at the polls
The governor has direct power over many of his
Heutenants In state government; the garng example
OF this sad truth is the manner in which Jim Kerby
as secretary of state for many years told his superior
officers to go to hell and did as he pleased not only
in his own office but in the governors office when
ever governor dared to leave the state Why, then
should the governor be held responsible for the con-
duct and misconduct of such an office?
Had other governors the past, refused to accept
any responsibilities and make any recommendations
concerning offices which according to state law are
the peoples business directly and his those Of
fices would have been better operated because their
executives would not have been able to hide behind
the governors skirts when they presented their budg
ct requests. (Mesa Journal l-Tribune).

Higher Entertainment

THE steady improvement in the quality of enter
Atanment offered to the American people by means
of the movies and the radio is something to be CRATE
full for.
The recent announcement by the head of one Of the
great broadcastng chains that even more pains will
be taken to keep the level of entertainment up to the
highest possible Standards by eliminating broadcasts
which likely to have bad effect upon childrens
and imaginations is example of the way in
which the people responsible for the nations amuse
ment respond to the public demand for wholesome as
we'll as enjoyable shows.
The motion picture industry has also made long
strides in its effort to elevate the moral standards
well as the technical quality of the films.
1t is interesting commentary public taste in
entertainment that little child Shirley Temple, has
again been acclaimed the best drawing card Of the
year in pictures, and that animated fairy tale,
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," still draws
audiences greater than those which most living actors
can attract.
On the radio few characters have the wide appeal
exerted by wooden ventriloquists dummy, "Charlie
Mccarthy while the utterly imaginary character of
"Betty Lou" speaking in the voice of little girl,
but emanating from the lips of talented young man,
has become almost living reality to millions of
listeners
The greatest achievement Of both these popular
forms of entertainment however, is the successful
presentation of serious and vital drama and really
great music to countless of millions who never be-
fore had the opportunity to enjoy the masterpieces
of the great dramatists and composers The nations
taste is definitely being elevated
On principle, we do not believe in boycotts but we
can't be very critical of those who refuse to buy Naz
made stuff.
Johnson Wright of Missouri decided 12O acres of
land to the Almighty, who was designated in the

The Religion Of Democracy

! IN his annual message to Congress President ROose-
welt took occasion to call the attention of the Amer
ican people, and of the world which listening to
him. to the essential and Interchangeable difference be-
tween democracy and the totalitaran forms of gov
ernment whether those are called Communism, Ease
ism or NaZisn.
That difference, reduced to the simplest terms in
which the President expressed it, is that democracy
alone Of all of them is founded upon religion Ii that
is not instantly clear consider it for moment.
We who believe in religion believe that all men are
eQual in the sight of God and that every human soul
is capable of choice of reason Of developing and per-
fectng himself in the image of the Divine ideal On
that belief was our democracy founded, and in that
belief it must persist, or it will perish.
The philosophy of Communism is that man is the
product of economic forces The NaZ doctrine is that
the only people entitled to exist in the state those
of particular blood strain.
Totally different is the democratic philosophy that
every human being partakes in some measure OF Dl-
vnty and that the goal of his life is not to live and
labor and die under the lash of authority but to strive
for self-perfection. Y
In a society so organized on the democratic phio-
sOphV the final authority is the moral principles
based upon the Ten Commandments of Judaism Of
the Golden Rule in which Jesus summarized the law
and the teaching of the prophets. AS William Penn
said men must be governed by God or they will be
governed by tyrants
Those are some of the implications of Mr. Roose-
velt's first message to the Congress- 1t is Won
der that in nations such Germany, Japan Italy and
Russia where the exactly opposite view rules, official
spokesmen denounced his speech as significant OF
hostility to themselves.
America is not hostile to the people Of any nation
in the world It is definitely hostile to the ideas and
principles upon which many nations being govern
cd today and to the false prophets who have led their
people into subservience.

Artists conception of Shasta Dam
 and power plant when completed. a sheer 480 feet to triple Niagara's mighty fall, and to develop 515,000 horsepower from huge generators.
 This enormous power output about 8 billion and a half killowatt hours annually-will be transmitted 200 miles to Antioch, Calif., the pow CT load center. The greater part will be used for pumping water through both Sacramento and San Joaquin valley irregiation systems, while the surplus will be sold in central and northern California.
 FLOOD
 CONTROL
 Second function of the dam is to control annual floods. Chief cause of these floods is melted snow from the slopes of the Sierra mountains swelling the Pitt, McCloud and Sacramento rivers. Shasta dam will lie just below the confluence of these rivers, nine miles north of Bedding, Calf.
 When spring sun melts the snow, waters of the Shasta reservoir will back up 35 miles in rugged Sacra- mento canyon. Enough winter flood waters will thus be stored to insure steady flow in the Sacramento river during the dry season, and irrigate lands where original water supplies are no longer adequate.
 For almost 75 years experts have sought means to irrigate large areas in the southern San Joaquin valley. Here once fertile lands are becom- ing useless as original water supplies are exhausted. During the last 20 years ground water levels in some counties have fallen from 20 to 200 feet.
 Thus huge San Joaquin valley with almost a third of the states farm land has only per cent of the water supply, while comparatively small Sacramento valley has 34.8 per cent of the water.
 According to present plans the reservoir at Friant, Calif., 300 miles south of Shasta dam, will store enough water of the San Joaquin river for irrigation purposes.
 Regulation of the flow of the Sacramento river will make water available for this purpose. It will be diverted into the San Joaquin valley through a delta cross canal.
 During recent dry seasons, as the river has fallen, salt water has flower from San Francisco Bay into sloughts in the delta lands of both the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers.
 This salt water has endangered more than 100000 acres of Cali fornia's richest farmlands. Steady flow of the rivers will safeguard the supply of rreSh water.
 Water will be sold to municipali- ties and industries whose supply has been insufficient.
 As to navigation, the Sacramento river will be opened up all the way to Red Bluff, Calif., and will be a much more practical water route than ever before.

Mighty Shasta Dam Will Be Worlds Second Largest
4O-Year Return Expected On Investment
By JOHN RICE NEA SueciaI CorrespOndent

Sacramento, Calf, April IT, Shasta dam, secono largest in the world, will hold back enough water to flood the entire city of Chicago to depth of 35 feet.
 But that is not the purpose of the tremendous barrier being erect ed across the Sacramento river in northern California. When complet- ed, in five years, the project will solve five great problems. It will:
 Provide a vast new supply Of power for irrigation an dindustry.
 D. Decrease Sacramento river floods which annually inundate rich valley farmlands.
 3Furnish unlimited fresh water to regions where the original supply either is exhausted or rapidly de- creasing.
 HRegulate flow of the Sacramen- to river, thus preventing salt water from seeping into fertile delta re- gions.
 5-Stablize and facilitate naviga- ton on the Sacramento river which already ranks sixth in America in volume of traffic.
 HIGHEST
 WATERFALL
 The cost of the mighty structure is estimated at $170, 900 900. The sum of $35 ,939,450 has been allotted to Pacific Constructors, Inc, 12-com- company syndicate which underbid competitors. Another $65, ,00000 will purchase materials, clear the reser- voir site, re-route telegraph wires and main line railroad tracks, and install hydro-electric generators. The rest of the money will be spent on the smaller Friant dam, on far flung canals and irrigation pumping systems.
 Enormous as this sum sounds, the Bureau of Reclamation of the Unit ed States Department of Interior which is building the dam, estimates the entire investment will be re- turned in less than 40 years by water sales alone. When completed Shasta dam will be 800 feet high, $500 feet long and will contain 5,600,000 cubic yards of concrete. Though not as high as Boulder dam nor as long as Grand Coulee dam, Shasta will be the greatest over1ow-type dam ever built, and will control the water supply of an area as large as Eng land.

GOING TO TOWN
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

How did they get about of old
 When they wanted to go places2 How did they ever get to town
 Encumbered with founces and laces? How did they manage from Boston to New York With no autos railroad trains? How did they ever travel at all
 When roads were just country lanes? Then there were no high speed autos,
 Steam cars had not been invented, It was poste chaise from town to town
 In private coaches or rented. Business trips were not made via the air,
 Cross country trips took about year, Slow and easy did the trick,
 At least so it would appear. How did they go places of old,
 Or do things, as they say up brown? How did they ever plan at all
 About such things as going to town?

As writer and a things in big way and faced many dangers He was something of stunt traveller and his life has been one of thrills from swimming the Helespon like Leander of old to climbing the sacred mountain of Fujiyama in Japan Halliburton did spectacular things in grand fashion and then reported them in his own nmitable fashion About month ago he set forth in junk from Hong Kong for San Francisco. The junk about 75 feet long, and due at Midway Island April junk is said to be seaworthy, riding high in the water has high poop and overhanging stern But from all reports or reports doesn't look if the vessel was capable of making the Pacific Like many another adventurer Halliburton has to grief and the alone holds the secret of his burial place One could hope otherwise but the chances that Halliburton is alive slim.
