ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

The title is little twisted this
week. It should be WASHINGTON
IANS IN ARIZONA. The Nations
Capital is quiet. The congressman
have gone. The Supreme Court
Judges left so long ago they are
almost forgotten. Even the Presl-
dent is miles away. At the present
moment Secretary of War Wood1
ring is the ranking man in Wash
ington. There are also 11S,00O gov
ernment clerks who work in the
Capital City, and most of them are
away have been away or will be
away before the summer is past.
Most of these clerks are from
nearby states. Few have ever been
beyond the Mississippi River. They
talk of going out that way some
day, but they do not know how to
get about it. They are tired OF the
crowded beaches and local resorts,
but what can they do? If they go
out West. it must be on a con-
Quoted tour. They have to be
guided. and that is not what they
want. 1t is too confining.
Why don't they visit our dude
ranches? You know why. IT costs
too much. They have two or three
hundred dollars spend and three
Or four weeks in which to spend
it. Transportation is not bad. A
round trip ticket can be bought
for less than a hundred dollars.
It takes only week and a half to
make the trip. That leaves a
hundred dollars or more and two
weeks that could be spent in Ari-
zona. It could be, if only there
were some place to spend 1T. A
guest ranch might keep them a
few DAYS for a hundred bucks, bat
what about a riding outfit? And
tips for the guides? What about
the company? These government
clerks would not enjoy hobnobb-
ing with a flock Of assorted mil
lionaires.
A friend of mine, Alvy Elmer,
has a COW ranch in the mountains
in Arizona. For many years he
has been having summer company.
Most of his guests are friends and
relatives who do not add much to
the income of the ranch. But some
times Alvy ropes in one who pays
off. Now he is getting the old
ranch in shape to take care of a
few heads of dudes with moderate
means. If the friends and relatives
do not come too thick and fast, he
may have something.
Somebody has said the ranch is
too hard to reach and the accomo-
dations are not adequate. In other
words, it is not classy enough.
wonder if that could be what is
wrong with our ideas about dudes.
We think they should be able to
roll cigarettes in ten-dollar bills,
and we sock them accordingly
They are mighty nice to have
around a ranch, but they are too
scarce.

Former Banker
Views Plan AS

PHILADELPHIA - An excellent
analysis of the stabilizing effect the
Townsend Plan will have upon
American society is contained in a
letter signed "ex-banker," published
in the Philadelphia Ledger. The
letter follows:
BY 1914 it will be easy for a
Townsendite to be elected to the
White House. The popular thoght
is not prepared yet for so sweep
ing a proposal, but presently this
issue will emerge from hiding and
be acclaimed by the very ones who
