TIE STATE OF THE

TIE STATE OF THE
natisn c n go 10 pot for the next
feg days as far as baseball fans
throughout the country are con-
Cerned who want the status 10 re-
main quo until Boston finishes
wiping up on the national league
champs the ST. Louis Cards.
The Buns and the Cards both did
n fine Job OF stumbling and ended
their season in an exact tie with
each team winning 60 and losing
IS games for a percentage of .s23.
THE TWO NATIONAL
league teams started their playoff
the first in the history OF or
ganized baseball I. Tuesday with
two straight victories going TO st
Louis.
NOW THAT AlRMAlL
postage has been dropped from
eight TO five cents per ounce the
postoffice department expects let
ter writers TO send al least one
out OF every four out OF town let
ters by air. Since the cost OF air
mail Is but two cents per average
letter more than the current first
class postage IL is possible that
the postal department may be a
bit pessimistic in its estimate.
WE SEE BY THE
daily press that Kathleen Nash
was sentenced 10 five years OF
hard labor for swiping crown jew
els valued at a million and a half
not much considering what
some OF our Arizona judges give
for writing a rubber check .
or the theft OF a hundred dollar
bill.
NOW THAT THE STATE
Iegislature has finished its last
special session two Pinal county
members have finished their leg
islative service ~. service by
both Senator Charles Goff and
Representative O. w. Rugg OF
Casa Grande which has been
marked by earnest attention To
duty and a concientious desire TO
give their constituents a square
deal
AND ALSO WITH THE
close OF the special session ends
the service OF Senator Paul Keefe
of Clarkdale who has served as
president OF the senate longer
than any other man in the "a
year history OF Arizona since
statehood. Paul Keefe had a fine
grasp OF legislative matters and
could have gone far in Arizona
politics had be been in business
for himself instead OF on the pay
roll OF a large corporation.
POLITICS HERE IN
Pinal county is pretty slow with
practically no opposition 10 the
democrats in office except up In
the mining area OF Ray and Hay
den Junction where Milto Back
stein had a write-in opponent In
the primary last July and now has
a second opponent In the person
of John Anderson who is also a
write-in candidate.
WHEN THE SMOKE
had cleared away from the final
hours OF the special session oi
Arizona state Legislature Saturday
all county elective officers except
members OF the board OF super
visors had received a neat $500
pay raise while the annual stip-
end increase for supervisors was
$500. Il may have been the legis-
lators believed We are in for a
long. hard winter.
WHISPERS STARTED
growing I'm Coolidge Tuesday
morning as many a man missed
his usual morning shave. To lots
of men whisker growing Is a slow
discouraging affair while others
seem to sprout boards that would
have made Bluebeard turn green
with envy. The whiskers and
western attire lend atmosphere 10
any western town preparing for
celebration and that's just what
they are doing and will do IN
Coolidge.
THE AVERAGE PRICE
OF farm land has risen II per cent
since the Is30's. Speculation In
farms is a danger TO our economic
system. Note that the farms that
are being sold are generally after
short periods of ownership. chang.
