FORCED LABOR HOLDS DISADVANTAGES

Impatient as many of us may become over the in
ability of the to force every defense worker
to stick to his job without thought of strikes delays
must remember this: forced labor is dictatorship
voluntary labor is democracy.
We in America know that the democratic form of
is the most productive and the
full; know that who are working voluntarily and
under conditions satisfactory to them will, in the end,
produce and better equipment than they would if
they working at the point of gun
1t seems logical to many of us, since millions of
boys being forced to in the army, that
millions of should be forced in the same manner
work in defense industries That is potent argument
and it is which may prevail.
II it becomes necessary draft labor en-
poyers both. Probably it would be both. We
tablish absolute dictatorship production but
history shows that do better work when they
free than when they under compulsion.
Several times in recent months it has looked if
labor getting out of hand We should be ready for
that and know just what legislative club will use if
necessary to prevent it.
But should try to keep faith alive in the
patriotism of the American workman and help him to rid
his ranks of the unAmercan obSructonsts who attempt
to Influence him. We should perhaps have legislation
which is just effective in protecting mans right to
work. present legislation which gives him the right to
strike.

"FOR AMERICA-BUY COTTONS"

Some fourteen years ago the cotton manufacturing
industry through the CoonTexte Institute inaugurated
National Cotton Week 1t designed to increase sales
of cotton goods So good the idea that in 1889 the
National Cotton Council, representing the cotton in
dusry joined in promoting Cotton Week in the states of
the Cotton Belt.
If National Cotton Week good idea fourteen
years ago. it much better idea today Now than
any time in the past has the cotton farmer needed
every aid in marketing his crop
This year the slogan of Cotton Week is "For Amer-
ca-Buy Cotons." Not in any previous year would that
slogan have been apt as it is today.
When you buy cottons during the 1941 National
Cotton Week. for May 1924 you aiding yourself
by purchasing while get cotton articles at bar
gain prices. You helping the ten million people in
the Cotton Belt who depend upon cotton for their
bread and meat. You helping that additional four
teen million people in the various manufacturing and
transportation industries who derive at least part of
their income through sales to the people of he Belt.
Your personal cotton purchases part and parcel
of great campaign. For America-Buy Cottons.

EDITORS WILL RESERVE RIGHTS.

Some members of the Arizona Educational Council
In session at Tucson recently approached discussion
publicity and public relations from the wrong viewpoint
William c. Vaughn of the North Phoenix high school
challenged the right of newspapers to publish reso-
luton given them by the councils secretary This fact
was emphasized in story in the Arizona Daily Star
1t is doubtful educators in any other state enjoy
friendler than do school officials Arizona News
paper men hope these amicabe relations will continue
But the statement of Mr.. Vaughn that newspapers
had no right" to publish especially released to
them by the educational councils secretary isn't conduc
i've to improved relationships between educators and edi
tors. s +f
1t is fortunate that outstanding educators like E. W.
gomery head of the Phoenix Union high school and
junior college, and Prof Harold Smith of Glendale eau
toned mpetuous colleagues against overly-aggressve
action 81
1t would be unfair to both education and the press
to allow some hotheaded spokesmen to disturb friend
ly and mutually beneficial relationship of such long
standing
There is little danger of such happening Editors
will continue to help education disre garding the inapt
remarks of a few witless executives.

IA AIR
ART AGAIN
by TEX HANCOCK

M NSHtN
Last week we mentioned a scrap
over mural in Missouri. Since
then we have been digging thru
the accumulated junk of several
years and find clipping from a
Los Angles paper of 1885. A Board
of Education in that cultured city
(ahem) had ordered a mural re-
moved because of it showed too
viyidly the forces of war and
evil. 1t was felt that the mural
would distort the minds of the
students of the school where 1t
was painted.
We can get all worked-up over
a painting depicting a phase OF
life and not get worked-up over
that same condition in real life
We wonder what that Board OF
Education is thinking of the minds
of youth in the present world war
For twenty years artists and
writer's tried to make anything
connected with war look horrible
and unwanted. Today, since we
edge upon involvement, we are
trying to make it look as attractive
as possible. Beautifully lined
fighting planes, neatly dressed
soldiers in training, the advant
ages of travel in the navy, the
trades training offered to men in
the service-everything is pictured
so attractive and advantageous,
OF course, in the background, they
hold the possibility that maybe
you won't get back home without
some scratches and maybe minus
some of your body-members.
Any normal youth had rather
ce war on the canvass than by
actual participation in it.
WHlRLAWAY
"Whirlaway, a picture-book
horse with a streak of madness in
his blood and touch of greatness
in his brown legs" That is the
way the Sports writer spoke OF
him. And in exactly 2.01 2/5
seconds he ran the mile and
quarter track to set up a new all
time record for the American
Derby.
MY kindom for horse"-like
that. That two-fifths of a second
doesn't sound like much but it
was the difference between this
and the proceeding top record
made in 1881 by Twenty-Grand.
We need a few more good horse
races like that to get our minds
off the war.
KING RETURNS TO THRONE
A little news item, OCCUPYING
three inches of space in middle
of a daily news paper, last week
told of the return, on May 5th, of
Halle Selassie to his throne in
Adds Ababa.
Five years ago Halle Selassie' s
name blazed across the front
page in bold headlines when it
was announced that the Italians
had driven him from his throne
and taken over Ethiopia.
And the world-except Italy and
Germany-was indignant.
But there wasn't room for him
on the front page today. We are
glad he has had his kingdom re-
stored to him. Glad the Italians
have been licked in Ethiopia-but
we have other things ON pur
minds. There are other Kingdoms
that are worrying us. No time
for small fish.
Selassie's return to Adds Ababa
may be prophetic of events to
come. In many little kingdoms
"the Captains and the Kings
have departed, but England and
the United States hold an idea

them will return. But until then

with China has dragged along off

AN UNTENABLE POSITION

Despite numerous letters in the hands of many vot-
who supported Governor Osborn the last campaign
promising them jobs when control of the highway
department" the belief growing that the chief
tive will not launch offensive the highway front
strong is advanced for the governors hesi-
fancy to attempt custer proceedings to give him grand
slam patronage grab of 1900 jobs in the highway
department.
His words should prevent hm-if his written
statements count for anything at ALL On Jan. 2o 1882
the present governor wrote in Dunbars Weekly which he
then owned and edited in his name
IF there is any valid reason why the high
way department should be placed at the whim
or caprice of ANY governor have yet to
hear it."
After quoting unnamed source predicting Gov
Jones would GUST the old highway commission
less the legislature passed the highway bill because he
had enough them to their removal" the then
editor of Dunbars (Mr. Osborn) observed: eve take
stock whatever in such intmatons"
Today the entire capitol and highway department
building in state of continual disturbance over
that Governor Osborn has plenty the highway
commission"
Regarding such reports Mr.. Osborn on JAM TO- 1889
wrote lin Dunbars Weekly:
"If the governor has evidence that the
highway commissioners have been derelct in
their duty, let him make those facts public i'm
medately. The people of Arizona would like
to know and they have right to know
I'VE can think of nothing unbecom-
ing of in high position than to intimate
ne mas damaging evidence against other public
officials without making such facts known to
the general public.
For number of years the highway de-
partment under the direct control of the
governor. Conditions became unsatisfactory
that the legislature by two-thrds majority of
each house created highway commission ap-
pointed by the governor and confirmed by the
senate.
This system has the years proven much
superior to the governor-c controlled setup"
Mr.. Osborn went on to say there could be but one
reason why desired to return the old and
discarded system of seizing personal control of the
highway department. The zone reason" Mr.. Osborn
wrote, was He (the governor) desires the patronage
of that the highway department to take his
political workers.
Governor Osborn private citizen in 1889, held
up his hands in holy horror and shuddered at the
thought of ANY passing out political patronage
through the highway department.
Could he today, governor conscentousy or hon.
esy take advantage of his high office public trust and
do what he private citizen and editor viewed as so
shameful only two short years ago?
Should he do so, the governors position would be
absolutely untenable!
The Coolidge examiner., 1941-05-16

PHOENIX, May 16-So many
suggestions for inclusion of sub
jects in a call for a special ses'
sion of the 18th legislature are
coming from sources close to
the administration it is suspected
move is afoot to bog down the
solons before they start.
For some time, the governor
is known to have planned but
three subjects in his contemplated
call for a special session: taxa
tion, water and power authority
and home defense.
But within the week, some OF
the governors friends have been
advocating inclusion of at least
half dozen additional subjects.
Sagacious solons view these
proposals as part of a plan to
chuck so much legislation at the
legislature it will be impossible to
consider it all in the 20 days a
special session is limited by stat
ute.
The governor, these solons point
out, could then tell the voters In
the 1912 campaign; II gave the
legislature an opportunity to re-
deem itself for failure to enact
the peoples program in the reg
ular session, but it failed a Sec
ond time"
In the opinion of former Hun
tite, who has become an Osborn
publicist, the present governor has
embellished the Huntian tech
nique of rallying the people to his
side and turning them against the
legislators.
While the water and power au.
thority isn't such lively subject
as it was before "the rains came" "
it is evident another attempt will
be made to obtain such a setup.
Lawyers in Central avenue
building continue to work on such
a bill, presumably with a view TO
submitting it to a special session.
