Having failed to cloak himself with the powers of a
dictator by demanding wholesale designations of all
board and commission members and state department
heads they could be replaced by puppets Gov Sidney
p Osborn apparently will try satisfy his lust for state
control by another maneuver.
his recently decreed Arizona Civilian Defense Co-ordnat
This time he will attempt coupe deetat through
ing council tp-off of what may be expected is the
statement of the governors executive secretary to
bers of the council at its first meeting They told
"The governor believes this council is des-
tined to become the most important branch of
the state government.
Under emergency conditions, it is conceiv-
able that it might almost be the gov
ernment."
Too many ArizOnans remember that the governor,
in his decree setting the council retained for himself
the of approval dsapprova of its acts In 9TH
words, appointment of exGov R. c. Stanford chair
of the council is nothing than political ges
Arizona did its full share toward winning World
War without the aid of Mr.. Osborn any super gov
ernment not provided for in the state constitution 1t
can do it again.
Arzonans are as patriotic as citizens of any other
state. They will do their part in cooperating with the
civilian defense council in designed solely to help
nation win the But let Governor Osborn be
warned here and Arzonans will not tolerate any
political masqueradng under patriotic false 'front.'
Arzonans will not permit the governor any
else to play politics with patriotism.
Mr.. Osborn must not lose sight of the fact that the
Constitution the United States provides legislative
and judicial branches of government we'll exec

of government.
No one will object to Mr.. Osborn waving the Flag
roar of disapproval will reverberate from the San
Francisco Peaks to the border if he tries to it for

MUCH TRIPE HAS BEEN WRITTEN

There's been a lot of trpe written during the last
ten days condemning It. General Ben Lear who punished
one battalion of his command by making them do
ira Is mile hike because they were rude to group of
shorclad girls and it's safe bet these editorial haran
guers have little, if any, army experience.
There's a lot more folks don't know about soldiers
There's old army yarn about the little colOred girl
standing with her mother column of soldiers march
ed by who asked Mother, do soldiers eat hay " The
mother answered, ''Yes Chile if it has whisky on it.
Now all know THAT isn't true yet some peculiar
psychological change in the young
civilian who suddenly finds himself in uniform, away
from home and friends among thousands of in
tonment The gentlemany, courteous boy of the home
town becomes little gruffer bit discourteous, little
bolder to hide that homesck feeling he is afraid of
showing And strange it may the fellow we've
always known roughneck becomes bit more
teOus, gentlemanly, less gruff.
Those Is extra miles didn't hurt of those lads of
what known throughout the army and the country
the ''Yo-Ho" battalion And it undoubtedly served
object lesson to other unit in the camp Soldiers
respect the hardboled commander who won't stand for
foOshness and rowdyism

| products. Automobiles, On which
manufacturers already have agreed
to 20 per cent cut in production
in 1912, may be subject to still
| further cuts, according to William
S. Knudsen, director of the Office
| of Production Management. Auto
mobile makers, who now have
around $2,000,O0O,O00 in defense
contracts, may be called upon to
| as much as triple their defense
production schedules, Mr.. Knud-
sen said.
Interruptions in defense output
due to strikes have decreased con-
siderably and the President has in
dicated that he will stand for no
more major Interruptions, such as
the strike at North American Avi-
alton. In returning that aviation
plant, which was operated by the
army for almost a month, to it's
owners, the President said:
Should efforts be made again
to interfere with this essential
production, l will not hesitate to
take whatever steps may hereafter
be necessary to insure it's contin-
uance."
Although in his Fourth of July
speech the President said that the
danger of the war to this country
is getting closer and closer and
stated that We should be willing
to give our lives if necessary to
preserve our freedom, there is still
considerable question here as to
the Presidents attitude as to when
and if we should enter a shooting
war. At a press conference he
said that he still hoped that the
United States could keep out of
war, but he did not express conf
dence that we would keep out. He
refused to comment on a speech
by Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox, who said: "The time to use
our navy to clear the Atlantic of
the German menace is at hand"
1t is believed here that the war
like speeches of several of the
Presidents cabinet are made part
ly to test public sentiment for
war and also to make us realize
the closeness of possible war and
arouse us to become more united
in our defense efforts.
The general attitude of the Pres
ident is that predictions are i'm
possible about our participation in
the war, but there is good
chance we will get into it and it
is all-important to us now to make
a greater effort than we are max
ing to prepare for any eventual
| ity.

lists. While the turkey population
increased, the number of farms
raising turkeys decreased almost
100 per cent during the past 10
years.
DIARIES eatinu
l never realized, until l looked
over the farm census. what a
drastic reduction in the use of but
ter in the American home took
place during the depression years.
In spite of better incomes these
days, the use of butter has never
come back Oleomargerine and
such substitutes may have partly
replaced it on the consumers
table, but from the dairy farm
er's viewpoint finding a market
Tor butter is a serious problem.
In 1929, the census shows, dairy
farmers sold 1876 5,O45,35S pounds of
butter and in 1889 they sold only
7S,35S,296 pounds-an average of
just about two pounds a year for
each person in the country. OBJ
vlously, from those figures, the
great majority of people are get
ting along without any butter at
all.
While the farmers only sold TO-
55S,2S6 pounds of butter. they
churned 42S,692,339 pounds. The
only explanation l can see for that
Is that the biggest outlets for the
dalry farmers are their own tables.
II looks as though, in addition to
doing the growing of the food for
the nation, the farmers are also
handling most of the eating.
rHnmo consolidation
According to the census-taker's
count, there are now approximate
~ 100000 less farm owners in the
United States than there were in
1881, but there are about 75,0OO,-
OOO more acres which are in farm
land than there were 10 years ago.
The explanation is: Increased
consolidation of farmland into the
hands of few owners. The CEN
sus shows a lot of new farms of
under 10 acres, too, but they are
mostly in industrial areas where
running a farm is combined with
non-farm employment. The big
change of the decade is the in
crease in the number of farms
which have turned into big bust
ness.
One-third of the farmland of this
country now belongs to farms of
over 1000 acres in size Which are
owned by less than 2 per cent of
Americas farm-owners. Another
~ per cent of the farmland is in
farms of from 500 to 1000 acres,
owned by about 3 per cent Of
| farm-Owners.
Just as in industry, where
comparatively small number of
companies do the big proportion of
our nations business, the same is
now true in farming.
But that may be a help to the
consumer rather than a handicaap.
For 1t means mass production
methods are now being applied to
| farming, and business has taught
US the lesson of mass production
creating lower prices and more
plentiful supplies.

Axshos Of 'Tlosu to Win Friends

HOLDING ONE JOB AND
TRYING ANOTHER
Friends

In New York hotel l interviewed man who had
job that would not support him. he told what he
did about it. The job the had peddlng pencil
sharpeners from office office in the business district of
Chicago He married and had three children
He poor that he bought half-song outfit
and halfsoled the shoes of the family He worked
harder at his penc-sharpener selling, but it wasn't
enough.
So he decided to do something the side while he
was still canvassing He had been trained for
special work. He had once been policeman in the rail
roads in Salt Lake City, but he couldn't get side line
like that in Chicago He had been a cavalry officer
but he couldn't get job at that either He seemed beat
en-, but he wasn't. Not his kind.
He tried to think of something he could do at night
after his street-tramping. AS he coming back
street from his sharpener-seing, he read short
story, and said to himself Il write we'll that
And that very night he began 1t was wild, i'm
possible story about beautiful girl who lived Mars
He finished half of it and sent it to the AStory Maga
zine The editor replied that if he would finish it, and
the last part good the first part he would
buy it.
He dashed into it in earnest then and 10 and behold
a check for $4OO came back He was millionaire!
But he still held his door-to-door canvassing job
Nights he pushed his pencil One night he started story
about semvild who lived in Africa. He needed
for his character. He wrote three piece OF
paper and selected one, Tarzan The of the ped
der of pencil-sharpeners is Edgar Rice Burroughs.
He astonshed how his stories caught on. Never
Tin his widest dreams had he visuazed such
cess. He moved to California and bought himself
tate with private golf The of his books
worldwide. In former Czecho-Sovakia, his books
used in the public schools Since he started that
midnight story of Tarzan, than "a million copies of
his books have been sold
He told me that the turning point in his life had
come when he had determined to hold job while he
tried out another That idea took him from poverty
to the millionaire class The idea perfectly sound and
may be something that you yourself apply If you
are not making much you need, then hold the job
you have and work up the side. 1t will probably
not be easy but it can be done.

HORSES census
In 20 years the expression
working like horse" will prob
ably be synonymous with taking
a day Off" For the era of horse
work seems to be about over, judg-
ing by the livestock census taken
by the U. S. government.
The special group of census
workers which was given the task
of counting beaks, snouts and
noses of all animals in the barns
of America, has reported a total
of 10,O86,971 horses in all of the
United States, which is almost
100000 less horses than there
were in 1880.
Unemployment among horses
has become widespread and the
government isn't expected to
sponsor a Horse Works admins
tration or a Horse Conservation
corps to change the trend. The
horse seems to be doomed to ex-
tinction, a victim of the tractor.
Other farm animals, according
to the census, are faring better.
There has been a considerable in
crease in the last 10 years in the
number of cows, cattle, calves and
pigs. The sheep population has
remained about the same.
The final count of the census
bureau shows our country to be
populated as follows: 131 1,669,275
people, 1O,OS6,971 horses, S02,9S9
colts, 3,S44,56O mules, 6O,674,734
heads of cattle, 33,523,185 cows
and heifers over two years old
34,137,2 ,253 hogs and pigs, 40,129 ,261
sheep and lambs and 660,0O0,O ,OOC
chickens.
POULTRY -. eggs
Poultry raising, although just q
side-line on most farms, actually
is one of Americas biggest indus
tries. Chickens are raised on
more than 100000 farms and the
number of eggs produced is al
most two and half billion dozen
a year-over a dozen eggs a week
for every family in the country
At 25 cents a dozen that would
make the egg crop alone worth
nearly 600 million dollars.
When that egg business is add
ed to the cash value of the $50,
100000 chickens during the year i
is evident that the chicken coop:
of America are operating on {
scale equal to Americas bigges
business institutions.
The turkey business doesn'
compare with chickens yet, but it.!
coming right along. In 1910 there
were a total of about 28,000,00'
turkeys, which is at least enough
to take care of everyone's Thanks
giving dinner. And that was al
most double the number raised
10 years ago.
Turkey farming has becom'
more and more a job for special

ANTI-COOLER ORDER IS UNFAIR

If there i-timed, ill-advsed order af
fecting Arizona which thought
lessness than the special of the Arizona high
way patrol forbddng the use of certain types of car
coolers we've yet to hear of it.
Certainly it's unfair to wait until the 10th day
of July after folks have purchased car coolers to
decide low hanging car coolers are not to be used
Just why these coolers are suddenly dangerous" is
somewhat mystifying. Of course, highway patrolmen
charged with enforcing this unfair tell us there have

been "a couple of accidents because of them YET
tany drivers of with these coolers have far
width of vision than do drivers of trucks and paneed
livery jobs. And know of law against the install
laon of blinds and the of these blinds which would
entirely obscure the drivers vision through windows
This anti-cooer order after many of us have bought
coolers of this type is very much like ordering all bcy
cists off the highways just because carelessly

though defense taxes for 1941
probably won't finally be enacted
until fall, they can be expected to
be in line with the tax schedule
completed by the ways and means
committee of the house of repre-
sentatives. The tax program now
is being put in legislative form and
will be introduced to the house
any day now.
The new taxes, aimed at raising
an additional $3,503, 100000 to pay
for a small share of our huge de-
Tense program, will call for pay
ments of increased sales levies by
everyone in the country. AS for
income taxes, however, only those
will be required to pay them who
paid this year, according to the
committees schedule, but they will
be much larger than in 1941.
The present income tax exemp-
tions of $500 for single persons,
$4,000 for married couples and
$400 for each dependent are sched-
uled to continue. On the first dol
lar of taxable income, however,
there will be a surtax Of per
cent above the present 4 per cent
tax. On high incomes the surtax
will be greater. On the smaller
incomes it is estimated that tax
payers will pay a little more than
twice what they paid this year.
In addition to income taxes, 9th
er taxes which will be in the
house bill and which hit large
numbers of people include: an in
crease of 31a per cent on the pur-
chase of an automobile, bringing
the total tax on automobiles to z
per cent; "use" tax of IS on
ownership of an automobile; 5
per cent tax on telephone bills; a
cents case tax On soft drinks;
an increase of 81 a gallon In the
tax on distilled spirits, bringing
this tax to a total of 81 a gallon;
an increased tax on tires and
tubes and many other products
made of materials important for
defense use.
To make it easier for the tax
payer to meet these increased
taxes. the treasury department is
working on an installment plan for
making payments in advance. This
plan will be worked out so the
taxpayer can buy small notes each
month, on which interest will be
paid. and which will be honored
for the payment of taxes.
| Commenting on this plan, Secre-
tarv of Treasury Morgenthau said:
1--WE wanted to make it as easy as
possible for the taxpayers to have
the money ready next year. We
feel that this plan which we have
worked out will be a convenience
to the taxpayers to save the
money each month out of income
or earnings to meet next years
taxes"
In addition to increased taxes
the people are faced with in
creased prices on many lines OF
merchandise and scarcity of other
nroducts. Leon Henderson. feder.
al price control administrator, said
that only new laws giving power
to control prices could prevent
major price increases in many in
stances. 1t is expected that some
form of price legislation will be
sought.
Scarcities are expected in some
lines because materials necessary
for defense will be made less and
less available for use in consumer
