POLITICS AT THE STATE HOSPITAL

Current activities of Dr. Jeremiah Metzger, state
hospital superintendent in removing 27 employees of the
institution to make jobs for Osborn campaign workers
than little doubt the credbility of the
doctors that he has removed the hospital from
politics.
News of recent dismssas and the hiring of other
employees obtained from payroll records in the state
auditors office.
In the light of these Vaccinations and figures made
available this week by the u S. Public Health Service it
is pretty much of established fact that DR. Metz
gers resgnatioon during the Legislative session we
previously predicted nothing than piece of
political grandstanding.
The DOCTOR in letter of resignation" to the gov
ernor which wasn't accepted asserted he could not con-
nue superintendent of the hospital on the nggardly
appropriation recommended by the legislature.
u S. Public Health Service records reveal that the
per capita maintenance expenditure for the Arizona state
hospital is the highest of the eight states in the Rocky
Mountain group. The average annual cost per patient
in Arizona is $28812 against average of 1892 IL
for the mountain states
Arizonas $288.12 compares with the following per
capita costs in neighboring states: Nevada, s26S.O4
Utah. $3.50. 80; New Mexico $25349: Colorado S269O5
and California S247.41.
What more does the good doctor want from Ar
Legislature? Or is he tacitly admitting lack of
administrative ability to operate the hospital per
capita cost considerably higher than the cost in five
neighboring states?
With these figures from the u S. health service and
records from the state auditors office at hand appears
that the doctor Notwithstanding his loud protests against
playing politics." is personally dealing fast hand of
the great American game.
The governor by delaying long enough the selection
of citizens board to supervise control of the hospital
install his political employees all jobs at the
hospital When they safely berthed under the wing
of non-politca" board there may be cessation of
political intrigue at the institution.
From the viewpoint of the governor and his superin
tendent there will be need for further political moves
They will have paid off in far possible, their po
litical debts where the state hospital is concerned
But what strain the whole affair is on public Gre
dence.

1000 years ago. And they will be
wondering if these modern tombs
will yet yield life.
Our own people will be sobered
with the thought of the possibili-
ty OF a baptism of pain and blood
which may come thru this war.
Refusing to help Europe in times
of peace We now throw off our
cloak of isolation and again try
to help in times of war. 1t would
have been so much easier to have
given of our life then than now.
Can anyone measure what the ex-
penditure of 100000 would
have done for Europe during the
past twenty years for the promo
tion of goodwill, understanding
and cooperation?
When this war ends the United
States will again have the Oppor-
tunity to take up the leadership
of the world. 1t will cost us some
thing. 1t will envolve risks. It
will mean heavy responsibility.
But in giving it we will best be
saving ourselves. And it will be
cheaper than doing it in a conflict
spread over all the world.

ed to the State Supreme court.
Inasmuch as it isn't advisable to
anticipate court decisions. this
column will make no such at
tempt However, it is safe to re-
port that observers are agreed in
the opinion that the erudite oc.
cupants of the states supreme
bench will not be placed in the
role of washing the governors po-
litical linen nor pulling his chest
nuts out of the fire Choose your
own metaphor.
Since it becomes increasingly
evident the governor will call a
special session of the 18th legis-
lature, probably in mid-May or
early June, speculation is rife re-
garding the rumored offensive
against the State Highway com
mission.
Some observers think the chief
executive may delay his contem-
plated move against the highway
commissioners until after the spec
lal session. Others, however,
point to the fact he took on the
Industrial commissioners while the
legislature was in session.
The latter observers say the
governors arrogant attitude to-
ward boards and commissions not
under his control may lead him in
to second custer attempt re-
gardless of any special session

Those who opine he will wait
until after the special session be-

IA AIR
BACK TO THE TOMB
by TEX HANCOCK

BAUM ~ LIE t0mo
Figuratively speaking the world,
this week, is returning to the
tomb Of Christ. Not only because
it is Good Friday and they want
to mediate upon the sufferings of
the Lord, but because the burden
of our own world today rests
heavily upon our souls and we
sense a quality, thru our own
travail of soul, in the sufferings
and agony Jesus bore as he took
the troubles of the world into his
own heart.
There Is q difference. The
world that broke Jesus heart was
not Of his making. He had con-
tributed nothing of Ill to it's pitiful
condition. All He has done while
in it was to attempt to better
it's condition. ri
We cannot say this of ourselves.
This week the darkness deepens
over the world we know and we
are keenly aware Of pain and sor
row and death. And we know that
to some extent we are RESPONSE
BILE.
When opportunity was ours as
nation to assume the leadership
of the world, following the first
World War, we overlooked the
teaching of the Christ when he
said mo man lives to himself and
no man dies to himself" and "He

that would lose his life shall save
it."
We sought, rather, for twenty
wears to isolate ourselves. We re-
fused the profered leadership and
left the difficulties and problems
of war-torn Europe to take care
of themselves. We would stay at
home and attend to our own busl-
ness. We forgot, even while we
were saying it, that we had MOI
staved at home and we had not
attended to our own business. We
had mixed in their war and had
even drawn up the basis OF their
peace. Then, once accepted, we
withdrew and refused to arrept
any of the responsibility and risk
involved in making them work.
We set about selfishly and stub
bornly to live unto ourselves
alone. We refased to give our
life our power, our influence and
thereby increase Jul oil OA6Ih W
giving it away.
Because we refused to heed
these teachings of the Christ in
our relationship to the nations OF
the world we are returning to his
tomb this week. The Cross stands
out big before our eyes.
We have seen mass murder
stalking across Europe. We have
witnessed the death of little peace
loving nations who asked only for
a chance to live. And now we are
wondering if from their tombs
there shall ever be a resurrection
If they shall ever live again.

MATCHING THE DICTATORs

There many be those who fall for the "superman''
stuff about Hitler and his sdekick Mussolin but the
dlctatorS have met than their matches in demo-
cracys present leaders, Churchill and Roosevelt
Great Britain and the United States are fortunate in
their executive officials who have demonstrated
able ability in leading free peoples to face facts

Of course, the strength of both men is to be found
in the confidence reposed in them by the vast majority

IN the winnie Rutn JUDD episode
which also was reported to the
governors office, the news was
completely suppressed until un-
covered this week by reporters.
This is in marked contrast with
the policy of handling news stor-
les under previous administrations,
particularly in connection with
Mrs. Judd's two escapes during
the Bob Jones regime. On one of
those occasions Governor Jones
was called from his bed just be-
fore midnight and informed of
Mrs. Judd's flight.
The then chief executive, even
though realizing his administration
would be criticized, telephoned the
Phoenix newspapers and accom-
panied by reporters, went to the
hospital to take charge of her re-
capture.
al ilAOld idOOI dhu ChlpiOy Cl .,
particularly those engaged in cop
per mining and construction work
in connection with national de-
fense, are being complimented by
the man in the street for the en-
tire absnce of any strife in this
state. In contrast with other Sec
tions of the nation industrial
peace reigns in Arizona.
Although confronted with fed
eral government moves toward a
IL cent ceiling for the price of
copper, the states major produc-
ers recently raised the pay of all
mine and smelter workers. Wage
scales on construction jobs, in
Guiding the building of airpOrts,
have been maintained at an agree
able level.
A preponderant majority of Ari-
zonans want no truck with labor
agitators. Residents of copper
camps know by experience of the
disastrous results and economic
losses entailed by trike. Arizona S
farmers, who enjoy profitable
nearby markets during Industrial
peace. have learned how strikes
curtail these markets. Business
men in the copper camps and the
larger cities of the state have had
the same experience.
With the ever-present threat of
the federal government importing
larger quantities of South Ameri-
can copper. Arizona's important
mining industry could be dealt a
blow from which it might be many
years, if ever, in recovering should
the government find it necessary
to rely entirely upon forign cop
per for defense purposes.
Should Arizona miners succumb
to the Establishments of Out-of-
state agitators and fail the ma
ton in this crisis it is more than
likely that the present precarious-
ly held Accent excise tax on for
eign copper will be removed by
executive decree and the mines OF
this state exposed ito ruinous com
petition of low-priced peon-produc-
ed foreign copper.
Such a situation would close
several of the states largest pro
ducers, rob several thousand men
of jobs and turn few of Arizona's
largest settlements into ghost
towns. 1t is an unpleasant pros
pect which should concern every
one interested in the states wei
fare.
Reports that the governors

attempt to oust the three indus
