Let’s Go, U. S. A.! . S
President Roosevelt’s admirable declaration of
American principles in his momentous address Tues
day night convinced us that it’s time to face the plain ;
truth with old-fashioned American honesty.
And let’s think of ourselves for a change; let’s (
think of the freedom we’ve fought for since 1776.
We have a fight on our hands; a fight or freedom.
There can be no honest denial of it. The truth is that j
this freedom is in real, immediate danger of disap-1
pearing. i
We Americans cannot sit back and, with our heads |
in the sands, pray that the triumphant, blood-spilling j
Nazis will get no closer to our shores.
Today is not one year ago—though many of us
think so. In twelve months, the war has come almost
to our front door. Unless we act with utmost speed
and decision, and convoy munitions to England, supr
ported by our strong convictions of right and wrong,
that war may surge up not only to our porches, but
overnight swirl around to our backyards.
To avoid the horrors of a ten years’ war, a twenty
years’ war, or another Hundred Years’ War, let’s roll
up our sleeves and, through convoying help extermin
ate the creeping, filthy menace that threatens the
freedom of ourselves, our children and their children.
Let’s go, U. S. A.!
, Good Man Succeeds Good Man
In naming J. A. McGimsey chief of police the
mayor and board of aldermen picked a good man to
succeed a good man.
Clyde Baldwin, who took a temporary leave of ab
sence to become fire chief of the new air base at Tuc
son, made an excellent record as police chief, and we
feel confident that Chief McGimsey will make a
similar record. $
The Squeeze Is On
France has succumbed almost 100 per cent to Axis
demands. That came as a shock, but not as surprise, to
London and Washington. The democracies did every
thing possible to stiffen the back of the Vichy govern
ment, but it wasn’t enough. Hitler has his hands
around France’s neck, and the squeeze is on.
War between British and French troops and fight
ing ships may now be expected. France is giving Ger
man troops aid and supplies in Africa. England can’t
stand for that,

Budget Week Deserves Attention
Entitled “Budget Week Deserves Attention,” the
following editorial was sent this paper by the Arizona
Tax Research Association, headquarters in Phoenix:
Last year, Gov. Bob Jones issued a proclamation de
signating July 21-27 as “Budget Week.” This was
done 1 to draw the attention of taxpayers to the fact
that annual budgets for the operation of local govern
ments were in process of being adopted. The proclam
ation urged that citizens should interest themselves
in the business of government for a few days to find
out what was going to be spent from tax funds andi
where these dollars were going.
In all probability Gov. Sidney P. Osbom will issue
a similar proclamation this year. No chief executive
is likely to overlook this interest in the man who pays
the bill. It is a gesture on behalf of citizens who are
overwhelmed throughout the year by weeks dedicated
to ways of spending money.
Such a proclamation this year is more important
1 hail over before. The last legislature passed laws re
quiring school districts to make complete budgets and
publish them prior to final adoption. Also, there was
passed an amendment to the county budget law tint
makes it mandatory for boards of supervisors to make
a more complete budget concerning their operations.
It is up to the people to see that public officials
inform themselves as to these now laws and abide by
them. They give taxpayers an opportunity to effec
tively protest expenditure of public funds for unne
cessary activities, or unneeded governmental ex
penses.
During “Budget Week” last year, service clubs of
the state joined in the educational program. A check
up disclosed that nearly every service and civic club
| in the state set aside at least one program in which
members and citizens generally were informed by
i qualified speakers what “Budget Week” meant to
| them.
Let’s put “Budget Week” over bigger and better
■ than ever this year!
The only man who can fool all the women all the
time is the man who designs the types of women’s
hats. What a man. However ridiculous they are.
he makes them wear ’em and like ’em.
An Ohio man has discovered how to cure a wife of
1 back seat driving. Twenty seven years ago he had a.
nuarrel with his wife because of her back seat driving.
He ran the car into the garage and it has not been out
once since.
One reason we prefer children to many grown ups
is that the children do not bore us to extinction by
telling us of the smart things their parents do.

Inflated Ego
One of the hardest types of humanity upon whom
to make an impression is the skillful driver with an
inflated ego.
This sort of driver is better than the average and
knows it. He has supreme confidence in his ability
to operate a car successfully at. extraordinary speeds
and under all sorts of hazardous conditions. Hair
breadth escapes from accidents arc 1 part of his daily
experience. He misses collisions by inches or fractions
and thinks nothing of it. He has a sort of pitying
scorn for less skillful drvers who do not dare to take
such chances.
He believes that speed limits and safety rules arc
made for drivers who do not possess his ability to
manage a ear. He* is the man who boasts that he hns
doveloped his driving faculties to the point where h •
bandies his car and meets emergencies automatically.
His unlimited self-confidence makes him a pveatev
menace to safety on the road than a less skillful and
less confident* driver who constantly observes safety
precautions.
Some day the old law of averages catches up with
him. It may be a blown tire; a car darting unexpocted
lv from a side street; a rock or other obstruction on
the Vghway as he careens around a blind curve.
Usually the ensuing wreck is a disastrous one because
the driver with the inflated ago is traveling at an ex
cessive rate of speed. Quite frequently his driving
days are over permanently, and there is either a long
job for the doctors and the hospital or new business
for the undertaker.
The driver who thinks he is immune to speed lim
itations and ordinary safety precautions is about the
most self-deluded individual running loose.
It is a little too soon to state with surety that the
modem girl is going to do a better job of living than
her mother who was kept in ignorance of the facts of
life, but our guess is that better or worse, the time is
gone forever when the family doctor book will be hid
den away from the children.
Every town has at least one individual who is for
ever finding fault with the Chamber of Commerce or
local business men’s club, but who never contributes to
its activities or does any work for the good* of the com
munity.
We do not know whether amateur poetry is worse
than amateur prose or not, all we know is that it
sounds worse.

BEER is a wholesome beverage and the
makers of beer insist that it be sold under
equally wholesome conditions.
The beer retailer who violates the law and who
permits offensive practices in his place of
business, menaces not only his community but
j
the good name of beer itself. That is why we
insist that law-violators must either Clean Up
or Close Up.
You can help in this program by pa
tronizing only those dealers who operate
orderly establishments .
