Republican State
Central Committee
Meeting

In a speech by Atty. James P.
Boyle Monday at Tucson he said
in part. as published by the Re-
public:
wendell L. Willkie is better
equipped than his opponent to pro-
vide an adequate national defense
for America.
In contrast to President Roose-
welt, Mr.. Boyle said, Mr.. Willkie
believes in increased productive
ty rather than distributed scarcity
he's not the sort to want to go
around the country killing little
pigs"
Humility is something to be
appreciated in a candidate. Mr..
Willkie realizes he is no indis-
pensable- man. He appreciates
there are 10000 men in this
country, any one of whom, if. the
spotlight of public attention and
opportunity were to be focused
upon him, would make us as good
a president as either Mr.. Willkie
or Mr.. Roosevelt.
"Willkie places patriotism above
partisanship.
"If Mr.. Roosevelt is indispen-
sible, let's put the crown on his
head, send congress home, dismiss
the supreme court.
(which does America want!
The soothing syrup which they've
been fed by Mr.. Roosevelt over
the radio, or the. terse, short sent
ences which come from the heart
of Wendell Willkie?'
Lloyd C. Lakin, the new chair
man of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee, said he took his
new post having in mind the state
men by Mr.. Willkie, "If busy busl
nessmen are too busy not to take
care of some of the nations busl
ness, they may find themselves
without any business to be busy
with"

Legion Post Nov. 9-1O-11

The David Hood Post No. 54

just about completed their plans
for the big celebration which will
take place in Coolidge, November

are expecting the biggest celebra-
tion turnout ever to be held in
Coolidge. and already the town is
lining up 100 percent behind the
project Whiskers, loud shirts and
Mexican costumes are appearing
on the streets worn by the local
citizens and everybody seems to
be entering into the spirit with
enthusiasm. One man has already
been hung in front of the Coolidge
Drug Store because his wife made
him shave. 1t is hoped that this
will be a lesson to the rest of the
female species as an example OF
what will happen if they intervene.
The plans are for a parade,
games. a big dance, horse racing
and other sporting events in line
with this celebration. Kenyon Har-
ris, Commander of the American
Legion has warned all citizens
that they must appear with whisk-
ers and '49 duds and even the
ladies must wear western attire or
other attire. or else -.
From the looks of things several
boys have Judged a little on the
rest of the male population for al

grand prize to be given for the
best crop of whiskers and this
does not look like justice to the
fellows starting on time, which
was the first day of October. Busi-
ness windows are being painted
with an unusual insignia that of

Judging from the enthusiasm, this

Favor Exemption
From Taxation

The Maricopa County Central
Committee held their convention
in Phoenix, Friday, September
9th, and among the resolutions
adopted was one favoring continu-
ed exemption from taxation of the
irrigation works of irrigation dis
tricts and reclamation projects.
On the initiative amendment
ballot in November the measure
to be voted upon is No. 1OS, pass
age of which was sought by the
Associated Districts of Arizona.
In part, the resolution said:
"a recent decision of the State
supreme court implicitly holds
that the legislature did not have
authority to declare the operating
works of these districts and pro-
jects exempt from taxation (as
they have been for so years or
more). AS a result, every farmer
within such districts is now
threatened with an increased taxa
ton of $500 to $500 per acre.
The county committee elected
Robert Hupsick chairman; Mrs. d..
X. Rouse, Glendale, cochairman;
High Laird. and Mrs. Minnie j.
Mueller. vice chairmen; Ann
Farnsworth, assistant secretary,
and Jeanette Jennings, treasurer.

Howard Scott
Visits Phoenix

Howard Scott, Director-in-chief
of Technocracy Incorporated, is
now on his 1910 Tour of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States.
He comes to Phoenix on Thurs
day, October 10. On that evening
he will deliver a public lecture at
the Phoenix Union High School
Auditorium at s o'clock, sponsored
by the local sections of Techno-
cracy Inc. The subject of this
lecture will be "America-Now
and Forever" dealing largely with
Technocracy's plan for Continental
defense.
In a recently published article
Howard Scott states: "The United
States and the Continent of North
America Is the greatest loot of all
history-the richest area of re-
sources or the globe and the
greatest collection of archaeological
equipment. This Continent is an
open invitation to loot on the part
of all the 'haves' and "havenots'
alike OF Europe and Asia"
n hao xx,h
unified action" is necessary to
build up a system of defense for
the Americas. The program of ma
tional defense proposed by the
United States Government fails to
provide an adequate defense for
the United States, because, as
stated by Mr.. Scott at can only
be defended by an adequate de-
fense of the entire Continent Of
North America"
Technocracy has the plan for an
adequate defense of the North
American Continent, it also has
the plan for the utilization Of the
natural resources, chronological
equipment, and the man power to
produce and distribute an abund-
ance of goods and services to all
the people living upon this cont
inent.

out making q serious mistake If any
body could. He was big, strong,
fierce, swift and fearless. He had all
of the Green Forest and all of the
Green Meadows and all of the Old
Pasture in which to hunt. And If
these didn't suit him he could move
on. But they did suit him, for he
showed no signs of leaving them.
Hunting was good and he was get
ting more than he could eat. There
was absolutely no one among all Of
the furred and feathered folk whom
Mr.. Goshawk feared. He had things
quite his own way.
Yet, Mr.. Goshawk made q mis-
take, very serious mistake. He
certainly did. Peter Rabbit saw him

Farmer Browns barnyard. Peter
stretched himself as high as he
could and his eyes grew round with
excitement. HE ought to have
sense enough to keep away from
there, but I'm glad he hasn't, i"
muttered Peter. Hes making q
mistake as sure as my name Is

Suddenly Mr.. Goshawk shot down
with the swiftness of q thunderbolt.

up high in the air and headed back
toward the dear Old Briar Patch.
As before, Peter and Mrs. Grouse
made themselves as fiat as possible.
But the Gray Terror didn't SO much

them, headed straight for the Green

passed over it Peter and Mrs. Grouse
had so fattened themselves out on
the ground beneath the friendly
brambles that they looked so much

Answer-Dr. David Livingstone,
Scottish missionary and explorer in
Africa, was born in 1918. At the
age of go he died on the banks Of
the Molilamo In Africa.
He spent 80 years exploring un-
charted regions of the African con-
tinent. One Of his most important
achievements was the discovery Of
the Victoria Falls of the Zambezi.
In the annals Of exploration Of
the Dark Continent (the words are
Stanley'O, we look in vain among
other nationalities for a name such
as Livingstone's. He stands pre-
eminent above all"
Yes, there was indeed a Living
stone, and there also was q real
Stanley, New York journalist, who
was sent to Africa by a real James
Gordon Bennett, publisher of the
real New York Herald, to search
for Livingstone.
Most Of the incidents in the pic
ture, STANLEY and Livingstone" ac-
tually occurred during the last years
of the great explorers life. A con-
else but interesting history of Liv-
ingstone will be found in the En-
cyclopedia Britannica.

not rhyme with bone, cone; the
correct rhyme is with bun, gun.
