Senate Is Thoroughly
Embittered at Roosevelt

Thus, after several weeks Of this
flashing back and forth-because
Senators Glass and Byrd did not fail
to tell the country what they thot
of Mr.. Roosevelt's action-we find
the senate thoroughly embittered at
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Roosevelt
saying, repeatedly, that the senate
is trying to usurp the powers Of the
Chief Executive. AS said, that
fundamental difference has existed
since the formation of our govern
ment. It is going to continue to ex-
list because of the form Of our gov
eminent. its system Of checks and
balances, and it will exist as long
as our system Of political parties
obtains.
Colby and without bias, it must
be said that each side to the battle
predicates It's conclusions and con-
ception Of its rights upon q thirst
for more power. MIR. Roosevelt, as
President conceives that he should
be boss; the senator's. as representa-
tives of sovereign states, conceive
that they are the elected represent
atives and they are not going to
have a single individual, even tho
it be the President Of the United
States, dehorn them Of the strength
that an election by popular vote
gives them.
Moreover, the President must do
political knitting. He must keep
the weave as free Of knots as Is pos
sible. In the case Of the present In
cumbent, it Is quite apparent that
he desires to be complete boss OF his
political structure. He had q taste
indeed, full meal Of 1t for five
years when subservient congress
vastly earned the sobriquet Of rub
Der stamps. I imagine that he liked
1t; anyone would, If that person IS
really human. When some OF his
rubber stamps became blurred and
did not print clearly what he said
they should print, Mr.. Roosevelt,
like any other ruthless politician,
was going to get rid Of them. He
tried that In the purge" during the
last campaign, and failed. Many
persons are sure that the present
flame Is intended to destroy this
type Of opposition.

Gentlemen:
I have q strong dislike for kids.
In fact If I don't do something to
keep my temper down, I am
afraid I'll be hurting q certain
young brat the next time he takes
me out. And that wouldn't be
right.
You see, he always promises the
old man that II he can take me
out he'll be very careful, but as
soon as he gets out Of Aght-wen
it's terrible. Only hast night q
whizzed across an intersection in
town here and liked to scared me
{ to death. We just missed q couple
Of other cars and almost skidded
into q post.
MY brakes don't all catch at
the same time. Its all right II
he's careful, but God help Us II
he clamps down too quick. Ny
horns on the blink too. on &C.
count Of his playing with 1t too
much.
Worriedly yours,
AutoB. Cautious.
Dear Auto:
Yep, just another case Of let
ting q kid drive q car that's not
tuned up just right. There's no
use trying to make the kid be-
have with the car.
If you must let him drive, the
best you can do is to be sure the
car is in the safest driving con-
dition. Come In some day, Auto.
and after we fix your brakes and
horn, your responsibility win be
ended. II he wrecks you then.

Citrus Drive
Brings Results

The inauguration Of Arizona s
first annual Citrus Week recently,
by official Governors proclamation,
was conspicuously received with
enthusiasm by the public, and ap-
pears to have given zest and
impetus to the Baby States"
movement to promote her citrus
fruit industry at home.
Under the direction of the
Chairman, Walter R. Bimson, presi-
dent of the Valley National Bank,
in this initial cooperative effort of
grower, packer, shipper and con-
sumner, the Arizona Citrus Week
Drive was effectively launched and
obviously success. Business
places of every description Joined
intellectually in the movement to
make the public "citrus-conscious, +"
featuring provocative displays of
golden, tree-ripened fruit, and it
is estimated that 500 tons of citrus
were moved during the drive.
Mr.. Bimson's own organization,
the home office of the Valley Ma
tional Bank in Phoenix, attracted
considerable comment as a model
OF citrus-promotion possibilities,
presenting the entire interior Of the
bank artistically and lavishly ar
rayed with displays of the tawny
fruit. In addition to the use of
thousands or oranges, grapefruit,
lemons and tangerines in gorgeous
decorative effects, great containers
of fruit near the entrances
generously requested passersby to
Have One; and young lady
hostesses served 700 gallons OF
iced grapefruit juice to Valley Ma
tional Bank patrons, during the
week.
According to Mr.. Bimson, many
other cities and towns throughout
the state report gratifying support
and unusual public interest in Ari-
zona's first coordinated effort to
stimulate "home-state appreciation
of her own rich treasurers in
citrus fruits.

huge debt we are piling up for our
posterity. I want to assure you as
the father of three splendid chill

I recall the use by the founding
fathers of that phrase in the pre-
amble of the Constitution of the
United States where it says, "for
ourselves and our posterity We do
ordain and establish" 1t has been
asked by some wag, What has
posterity done for me that l should
do anything for him?' Apparently
throughout American industrial
history there has been a lot Of act
ing in this latter spirit. I want to
tell you there is more than one
way Of thinking and acting serious
ly toward our posterity. I am more
concerned about the kind Of a
country we leave our children than
L am about a set of books.

Senator Hayden Pre-
sents Booklet on Irri-
cation From National
Standpoint

A booklet has recently come TO
the editors desk entitled Ma
tional Irrigation Policy Its De-
velopment and Significance which
is of great interest to everyone es-
pecially to us who depend so much
on Irrigation. There are some
seventy pages containing certain
correspondence and papers ex-
changed between the Bureau of
Reclamation and Senator Hayden
and a treatise on What Federal
Reclamation Means to the United
States" and a discussion on the
National Irrigation Policy, It's De-
velopment and It's Significance"
The book contains eight chapters
and is illustrated with several
maps and charts. We print an
article on assessed valuation taken
from the book.
EFFECT ON ASSESSED VALUES
"The effect en- assessed values
of irrigation is seen in the Salt
River Valley of Arizona, where Is
located one of the oldest and most
successful Federal projects. In
1897, the assessed values of the
farm lands and farm improvements
on the project were estimated at
s24O00,000, while all properties
within the exterior boundaries of
the project were assessed at SOL
375.712. The total values, includ-
ing those in urban areas, in this
instance were nearly four times
that of the farm lands and farm
improvements alone.
While the Salt River project
conditions may be little unusual
because Phoenix, the State capital,
is located within the project
boundaries, it is illustrative of the
related or indirect values flowing
from reclamation development. The
growth of Phoenix from sprawl
ing town on the desert 40 years
ago to a metropolis is largely
credited to the influence of irriga-
ton of surrounding areas"

whether to change the regular

There are several other organiza-

Chamber of Com
merce Have
Interesting Meeting

Regular meeting of Chamber OF
Commerce was held at Justice OF.
flee at p. m. President Ketchersid
presiding.
Mr.. Louis Fiscel, County Engineer
from Florence, gave a very interest
ing talk on laying of sidewalks and
establishing a grade level for the
City. He is in charge of putting in
sidewalks in front of the Grammar
School, using WPA labor and the
County furnishing the material. II
was decided that feet would be
the proper width for the sidewalks
with a five foot parkway and an
allowance of six inches for curb
Mr.. Fiscel also suggested that the
business district and residential
streets be surveyed and a grade
level established so all walks
would be level when the time came
to put the sidewalks in. With a
five foot sidewalk and five foot
parkway, this would leave a 70 foot
street, and at some future time if
an oil strip should be put in con-
Meeting the Phoenix-Tucson High
way and Main Street, the five foot
parkway could be put back into the
street.
Mr.. Loucks, secretary, made a
report on the Grammar School
Project and read letters from Carl
Hayden and Senator Ashurst in re-
gard to the appropriation for the
building of the school. No definite
report could be made as to what
money was available at this time
for the project.
There was further report from
the Civic Improvement Committee
in regard to the street lighting
project to the effect that there
were about 40 subscribers and that
tie committee would have a com
plete list and everything worked
out by the next meeting. 1t was
decided that not only the business
men would be contacted but the
property owners adjacent to where
the lights would be put in would
he contacted.
The entertainment committee
suggested that the Chamber put on
a Boosters Banquet or some other
form of entertainment so as to
interest the farmers and towns
people in the Chamber and if 1t
Was decided to do this to invite
members of other Chambers. The
Phoenix Chamber would cooperate
in furnishing music and other
entertainment. This was referred
back to the committee to decide
what was to be done.
