THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1921.
KEEPING GABLES
IT IN EFFORTS
TO f LP VALLEY
Dwight B. Heard, In
Europe, Taking Import
ant Part In Fight To
' Obtain Tariff On Pima
Cotton
Leaving out of the comparison
large international commercial and
financial enterprises, government
matters and the business of the news
agencies, probably In the past two
weeks more business has been fur
nished for the cable companies by
Arizona's fight for a tariff for long
staple cotton.
Dwight B. Heard, who Is taking
the keenest interest in it. is almost
daily sending cables to friends and
associates in Phoenix and to the
representatives of Arizona in con
gress, as well as to other gentlemen
of influence there, suggesting steps
to be taken in the conflict. These
rabies are costing Mr. Heard from
$25 to 140 apiece, an expense which
he is bearing cheerfully for the
cause of the valley.
He was in England at the time
th house committee on ways ana
means reported the permanent tariff
bill with long staple cotton on. tne
fre list. Members of cotton organ
izations here, and of the chamber of
commerce. Relieved that his presence
in Washington was advisable and
he was urged by cable to return.
He had then not begun his outing.
The sessions of the world's second
cotton conference which was nil
chief incentive to go abroad this
summer .had just concluded and he
had before him a program requiring
visit to the cruel places or ine
spinning industry in France and
Czecho-Slovakia, where he was hope
ful of making known the superior
quality of the Salt River Valleys
long staple cotton.
Wo reolied that he was averse to
a change of his program but that if
his friends were ot tne peuer. inai
his presence ma essential he could
arrange his affairs so as to return
to this country by August 8. In flue
course he would, return to New Tork
by August 28. ,
It was then thought by those who
were keeping watch that the senate
hearings might not be concluded be
fore the latter date and that, with
out a break in the plans of Mr.
Heard, he might reach Washington
in time to be present at the hearing
on the cotton schedule.
Since then it has become certain
that that schedule will be disposed
of before that date unless a post
ponement of it out of its order could
be arranged, and to that end Sena
tors Cameron and Ashurst have been
working.
Two telegrams on the subject were
received yesterday, one from Sena
tor Ashurst to Governor Campbell
in which he said: "I have sounded
appropriate authority as to post
ponement of cotton schedule until
Mr. Heard can reach Washington.
While the finance committee of the
senate can extend no definite assur
ance, I believe that it may yet be
possible to bring about postpone
ment of the cotton schedule, but the
committee should hold itself in read
iness, to come on a week's notice. I
will wire from time to time as the
situation develops."
A telegram to The Republican
from Senator Cameron: ''Tremen
dous pressure on finance committee
for hearings, and impossible to sty
whether it can postpone hearing to
twentv-eighth. Will know this
week."
For the last four days Mr. Heard
.has been in cable communication

minutes with a toothpick every time that you
eat you need dental attention right now. You
will never really appreciate mouth comfort un

and estimate, at our expense, will convince you.

with this country from Interlaken,
Switzerland, presumably on his way
to Czecho-Slovakia.
The situation at Washington is
being watched by W. H. Knox and
Sims Ely, the latter having left
Washington twice for home but was
recalled by telegrams from Governor
Campbell urging his presence at the
capital.
Mr. Heard Is especially desired
there because of his close study of
the cotton situation at home and
abroad, both from the producers' end
and from the marketing end, with
which he has been familiarizing him
self. Also during the consideration
of the emergency tariff bill he spent
considerable time in Washington,
where at the request of the mem
bers of the finance committee of the
senate he prepared a brief for long
staple cotton which has been made
the basis of arguments for a tariff
during the present struggle.
Another matter in which Mr. Heard
is engaged while abroad and in
which through the cables he has been
co-operating with the officials of the
Arizona Egyptian Cotton growers, is
the securing of the attention and as
sistance of the war finance corpora
tion In the marketing of valiey cotton.

Maricopa County Repre
sentatives Believe Noth
ing Could Be Accomp
lished But Are Willing
To Give Time
Declaring they were willing to do
nate their services and time to a spe
cial session of the state legislature
if called by the governor to reduce the
state budget, members of the legisla
ture from Maricopa county who met
with the board of supervisors yester
day afternoon were united in the
opinion that such a session would not
accomplish the task for which it was
called unless a definte plan was made
previously by the governor as to the
appropriations to be reduced. No
definite action was taken at the
meeting, which adjourned at 4 o'clock.
All but one of the county's legislative
representatives were present, as well
as three representatives of the State
Taxpayers association.
The meeting was opened by J. R.
Bradshaw, ' county supervisor and
president of the State Association of
Supervisors, who said the meeting
had been called to let the legislators
know the conditions in the state and
to see if there were any steps they
could take to reduce the state bud
get without crippling any of the state
institutions or departments, and to
ascertain their ideas in regard to a
special session of the state legislature
and its possibilites to effect a rem
edy for the situation.
Senator H. B. "Wilkinson, president
of the state senate, said he was not
in favor of a special session of the
legislature unless he knew beforehand
just what appropriations the people
of Maricopa county wanted eliminat
ed. To accomplish anything at the
session, Senator Wilkinson said, the
legislators should be informed as to
what the people wanted. Otherwise,
he said, the special session would ac
complish nothing. .
Senator C. M. Stoddard said an ex
pression from the people as to what
they wanted would be 01 great as
sistance to the legislators, but it was
impossible to get such an expression
and without it nothinc could be done,
He said he did not fa-ror the special
session without a definite plan upon
which to work.
I. P. Jones, representative, said he
thought the reduction of the budget
was up ta the governor, who should
offer a plan from which to work. If
the heads of the departments were
willing to cut down their appropria
tions, the budget might be reduced
he said, but he did not favor cutting
the school budget, but would rather
increase it.
O. D. Betts. representative, said he
believed the members of the legis
lature now are as much in the darn
as to the real requirements of the
various departments as they were
while in session. The heads of the
departments should go on record and
furnish the governor with a signed
statement as to the minimum amount
their departments could be run on, he
said, if the session is to make a re
duction.
, If fully informed as to what could
be done, W. D. Baxter, representa
tive, said he was in favor of a spe
cial session, but otherwise he was
against it. J. H.-Kinney, representa
tive, believed a special session would
put all the legislators on trial and
require them to undo that which they
have already done. If each county
were willing to make certain cuts and
all co-operate, he said, something
might be done, but he felt sure that
none of the counties would want to
eliminate those appropriations for
which they fought in the last legislature.
O. E. Schwpp said he was against
any steps to reduce the appropriation
made for the state university, ana
felt a special session would gain
nothing.
John R. Norton, representing the
taxpayers association, declared he felt
a special session should be called to
cut down the budget, Tne Duaget in
1917. he said, was about $3,000,000,
and the state was in better financial
condition than at present, when the
state budget is approximately 6-
800.000. Taxes on a quarter section
he said, were about 100 in 1917, as
comDared to $800 at present.
Mr. Norton said he did not blame
the legislature for the prtsent conai
tion of affairs, but he felt It was up
to it and to the governor to pun
them out." Other representatives of
the tax association who spoke were
C. C. Green and Fred Tate.
"The present high rate of taxation,'
said George D. Christy, deputy, coun
ty attorney and advisor to the board
of supervisors, "is caused by the large
number of bond issues which have
been voted. A special session of the
legislature could accomplish little,
but it might change tne law govern
in bond elections."
He pointed out that a $100,000
school bond issue in Phoenix was
voted by 2S people.
POLICE TO ACCEPT
AUTO CLUB CARDS
INSTEAD OF BAIL
Membership cards in the Automo
bile Club of Arizona will henceforth
be accepted by the police department
in lieu of cash bail if members of the
club are so unfortunate as to be ar
rested for violations of the traffic
ordinance. This assurance was
brought to the club yesterday in a
letter from George O. Brisbois, chief
of police, to Sidney J. Ross, presi
dent and general manager of the
lub:
"Referring to your letter of recent
date I note that the Automobile
Club of Arizona is offering J25.00
reward for the recovery of any car
stolen from a member of the club,
also $25.00 reward for the conviction
of the thief. I beg to advise that the
officers of this department will co
operate with you in every way possi
ble regardless of rewards.
"I hope to see your organization
grow to a 100 per cent membership
of the automobile owners of this
state. I do not know of a better way
of exterminating the automobile
thief than through the aid of an au
tomobile club such as your organiza
tion. "As per our agreemefit of recent
date I will accept the membership
cards in lieu of cash bail for traffic
violations, and I have Instructed the
officers of this department accord
ingly. Up to the present time none
of these cards have been left at the
office. I hope the members of the
club will guard against traffic vio
lations so carefully that it will not
be necessary to bring any of them
before the court, as I understand the
object of the club is to co-operate
with the officers in enforcing all
traffic laws as well as the automobile
theft laws"

COTTON
The condition of the Arizona cot
ton crOD on July 25 was 89 per cent
of normal, according to the federal
crop report just issued by the local
office of the United States bureau of
markets and crop estimates. This
compares with 85 per cent one year
ago. and 90 per cent, the five year
average condition on July 25. The
condition of Pima American-Egyptian
on July 25. 1921, was 90 per cent of
normal, and of short staple, 87 per
cent. Maricopa county reports th
condition of Pima at 91 per cent.
For the United States, the condi
tion on July 25 was 64.7 per cent,
compared with 69.2 on June 25. 1921
74.1 on July 25, 1920, 67.1 on July-25,
1919. and 75.4 the average on July
25 of the past ten years. The fore
cast is for a crop of 8.203.000 bales,
a decline of 230.000 bales during the
past month. The most striking fea
ture of the report is the decline of
ten points in the condition of the
Texas crop, and seven points in tne
condition of the Oklahoma crop.
Georgia and Louisiana each show a
decline of five points during the
month, being reported at 59 per cent

TWO VACATIONS IN
17
FOR CITY OFFICIAL
Those who long for an opportunity
to leave Phoenix these days would
do well to acquire the view point of
Frank Thomas, city clerk and police
magistrate. During his service of
17 years with the city he has had
only two vacations. His last one
was in 1920, when he took a trip
which lasted two months. Previous
to that he had a vacation of six
weeks in 1911.
"Frequency takes away the zest of
vacations," he said in commenting
upon the trip he took through the
northwestern states in 1920. "For
general all year purposes Phoenix
has no equal, but every one enjoys
a change once in a while. I expect
my 1920 vacation to last me several
years. About that time I will be
ready to appreciate another one."
Although Judge Thomas has had
only two vacations during his long
term in office he has taken several
extended trips on official business. In
1906 he was sent to Cincinnati with
the city water plant bonds.
"I was Just in the act of signing
the bonds when the sheriff served
an injunction upon me and I was tied
up as the pivot in a law suit for six
weeks," he said.
The last official trip which Judge
Thomas made was last April when
he journeyed with Mayor Plunkett
to Chicago to sign city bonds and
then to New York City, where they
represented Phoenix at the police
convention.
of labor, replying yesterday by wirei
to a telegram Bent him by W . ard
Da"ies asking his support of a
tariff on long staple cotton, said:
"Dear Ward: Your telegram of the
27th. I am in full sympathy with
the people of Arizona in , their fight
for a tariff on long staple cotton.
You may rest assured that I will do
all in my power to help obtain this.
Sjncerely yours. James J. Davis."

THE FIRST MASKED BATTERY
BY "INDIAN-MUXER
Mucfi of the history of early days in our Far West has not
Wen written. We recall the days when the picturesque prairie
schooner creeped across the landscape of the west ; and uneasy
Indians watched the encroachments of civilization. They saw in
those long trains of vagrant schooners of the paleface a menace
to their peace and their happiness. They moved their squaws
and their papooses back from the traveled trails into secure
strongholds, in preparation for the wars they knew could not be
averted. They knew the paleface's firestick very well now ; and
they had obtained a few. They might capture more ammunition
for their empty firesticks, and even more firestick. They waited
for the palefaces to open hostilities ; watching them warily from
a distance, just out of range of firesticks. They had never heard
of fire-wagons (artillery). '
One day the palefaces came, with many prairie schooners,
drawn by cattle. Some of the schooners were different from any
they had ever seen before; and the Indians were puzzled. The
white men were anxious to try these firewagons ; and so they de
manded that the Indians bring them supplies of com and meat,
giving the Indians too short a time in which to comply. Indian
scouts surrounded the wagon train at a distance to watch it..
And then the surprise ! Noise like thunder. Noise twenty
times as big as that of a firestick; and smoke like that of a hun
dred fires enveloped the camped palefaces. They began to shoot
with wagons ! The first shot hit between two Indian scouts uiho
were reconnoitering. It was indeed a great surprise.
Even today the paleface likes to spring a surprise. The noise
and clin created by The Spreckels " Savage" Tire Company with
their D type fabric tire hai hardly cleared before the announce
ment of their new Cord tire told of a still greater achievement.
The ways of modern business are truly a series of surprise
attacks. In releasing the Savage Cord a new standard for quality
tires was set at which others will shoot. Withstand the attack
this mighty tire will, for it is Built to Excel.
