The Sirnplified Car

The next great step was to reduce the num-
Der of parts. In one place the designers invented
one piece that takes the place of A. They devised
the pedal control found in three Overland models
Push one pedal forward to go ahead-backwards
to reverse. Push another pedal forward for high
speed The hands have nothing to do but steer:

Irrigation Now a Science

Irrigation is the Aladdin's lamp
that has transformed Colorado from
a mining to a farming State. Natur-
ally, the immigration Boards at
tention is concentrated on advertis-
ing the achievements and possibili-
ties in the scientific application of
water to Colorado soil.
Then, fresh attention has been
called to Colorado's Importance agri-
culturally through the reclamation
work now being carried on by the
federal government and by private
enterprise. Up to January, 1910,
the government has expended in
reclamation by irrigation in the
State $3,956,0 of the total appro-
priati9n Of $9,S65,O00. The remain
der is to be used as soon as it is
available. The expenditure by
private enterprise has amounted to
several times this sum.
To-day" remarks Governor
Shafroth, Colorado has 2,317,255
acres under irrigation, practically
all Of them producing the most re-
markable crops in the history of the
country"
Back in the other years when Col
orado was largely burnt and des-
ert land, many small and irresponsi-
BILE irrigation projects were launched
which were doomed to failure.
Such projects have embraced per-
haps 500,00 acres up to date. They,
however, were largely born in the
days before irrigation took its place
as a science. No government en-
terprise had ever failed, nor have
any organized under what is termed
an irrigation district. This is formed
under the laws of the State, and
under it the farmers and landowners
of the district come together and
vote upon the proposal of assessing
themselves for the expenses neces-
sary to irrigate. While there are
no specific records available, it is
estimated that practically all of the
ATS, ,220 acres, for the reclamation
of which the various irrigation dis
tricts have been formed, have be-
come tillable, Mr.. John F. Field, a
Denver civil engineer who has given
special attention to the subject, cal
culates that the storage of flood
waters in immense reservoirs for
use in the drier periods would al

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION
SAYS

Section 3, Article A, United States
Constitution, reads:
New states may be admitted by
Congress into the Union"
1t does not say that new states
must have the consent of the presi-
dent before they can enter state
hood.
Section 4, Article 4, United States
Constitution, reads:
THE United States shall guaran-
tee to every State in this Union a
republican form of government"
The above is the law and guaran-
tees to the people of every state the
right to make their own laws.
The republican party says that
the people of Arizona must not
write in their own constitution laws
that will give the people of Arizona
a republican form of government.
The Constitution of the United
States states specifically that every
state shall be guaranteed a republi-
can form of government. There
fore the people need not fear to
write in their own constitution such
laws as the initiative, referendum
and recall, which will give to Ari-
zona a republican form of govern
ment.
The Constitution of the United
States provides for the manner of
admission of new states, and does
not give the president any right to
dictate the kind of laws a new
state must write in it's constitution
in order to be admitted.

Apples

The apple is a fruit that grows
upon tree.
Because of this fact the tree is
called an apple tree.
The problem of whether or not
it would be called an apple tree if it
did not bear apples is one that has
racked the brains of some Of our
deepest thinkers.
At first blush, one would say it
would not be an apple tree under
these circumstances.
BIushing again, and becoming
grammatical, he would say in
those circumstances"
However, we know that all the
maple sirup does not come from the
maple tree. Apples used to be
very nice and good. They tempted
Adam and Eve to break their lease
just before the first fall.
Yet apples then were not as ap-
pies nowadays. Nowadays apples,
like eggs, are not considered fit for
the market until they have been
kept in cold storage for at least one
year.
If Adam and Eve had been
tempted with a cold-storage apple
their mail would still have reached
them at No. |, Eden.

palachian Mountains were not so
named because of the apple orchards
that blanket their sides,-~Chicago

THE PEOPLE WILL RULE

The chief charm of direct legisla-
tion-the initiative. referendum and
recalls that it makes boss rule
impossible and graft a tradition.
That has been demonstrated by the
practical application of this theory
of political economy.
Another of it's winning features is
that it is recognition of the inher-
ent right of the citizen of a republic
to an active part in the government.
1t is not an abstract proposition
nor an untired theory, but has had
practical demonstration and been
proven a panacea for political ills
and a corrective for political errors
as we'll as safeguard for the COM
monwealth.
There is no longer any doubt that
the right of the people to rule under
the initiative and referendum and
recall will be written in the consti-
tdtion of both Arizona and New
Mexico, and since it is evident that
the people will rule both conven-
tions, it is inconsequential whether
the Republicans or Democrats shall
nominally control, for the pr actical
effect of the domination of the peo-
ple's ideas is to make both conven-
tions non-partisan. Ell Paso Times.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We, the democrats of Graham
county, in convention assembled,
deem it right and proper to give
expression to our opinions and prin-
ciples on the important matters
now engaging the attention of the
people of Arizona.
We reafirm our allegiance to the
time-honored principles of the dem
ocratic party and pledge our faith
that we will never forsake the fund
amental principle that the individual
shall not be restrained of his liber-
ty and that equal rights shall be ac-
corded to all men and that special
privileges shall be given to none.
We congratulate the people of
Arizona upon the passage of the en-
abling act, although defective and
unjust. Nevertheless, it does per-
NIT us to vest ourselves with the
right of self-government.
We keenly appreciate the solemn
duty imposed upon the people of
our contemplated State, to prepare
constitution on the lines of con-
servative progress and we pledge
our nominees for delegates to the
constitutional convention to fulfill
their duty without fear with regard
to the rights and interests of the
entire citizenship of Arizona.
Realizing the necessity for capital
to<aevelop our vast undeveloped re-
sources, we believe our constitution
should hold out all reasonable in
ducements to the investor. consis-
tent with good government, and
that only such restrictions be placed
upon capital as to insure to it the
same, but no greater right than the
individual.
We pledge the support of our
nominees to such provisions of the
constitution as will forever preserve
the full rights of the laborer as an
American citizen.
We imperatively demand and
pledge our nominees to constitu-
tional provision giving the people
the power of direct legislation
through the system denominated as
follows:
l. The right of the people to in
dicate and adopt legislation by di-
rect vote, commonly called the
INITIATIVE.
2. The right of the people to re-
ject laws adopted by the legislature
by direct vote, commonly called the
REFERENDUM. .-
3. The right of the people to re-
move from office any officer elected
by them, commonly called the RE-
CALL.
We demand that the provisions in
the constitution for its future
amendment be of the most liberal
character, to the end that the peo-
pie may in the future make such
changes as the conditions may re-
quire.
We believe that all matters that
can be appropriately covered by
legislation should be left to abide
the action of the people or the legis-
lature. o.
We invite attention to the plat
forms adopted by the republicans
throughout the Territory as being
meaningless, colorless and undistin-
guished by a single definite sugges-
tion of policy or purpose.
Having declared ourselves for the
principles above enumerated and
pledged our nominees to their sup
port. we invite the cooperation of
all the voters of Graham county,
irrespective of party affiliations.

VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET

Every voter should go to the polls
next Monday and cast his ballot in
favor of the democratic candidates
who stand on platform of princi-
Piles that will give the people of
Arizona the right to take an active
part in their government.
A great outcry is made by the re-
publican spellbinders that unless the
people agree to a constitution per-
fectly colorless and devoid of all
principles of self-government, the
president and the republican con-
gress will turn it down, and Arizona
will lose it's chance of getting into
the union.
In refutation of this, it can be
stated without fear of denial that
the president never made any state
ment that the constitution adopted
by the people of Arizona would be
turned down, either by him or by
congress, unless it contained his
views. Neither did the president
state that the initiative, referendum
and recall would be obnoxious to
him or to congress.
The fact is the republican party
is fearful that the people of Arizona
will shake off the chains that have
bound them for years and that they
will lose control of the State ma
chinery. They realize that the in
itiative and referendum is the DOM
inant issue in this campaign and
that if the people are successful in
writing their own constitution, they
will certainly eliminate every chance
of Arizona ever being put under the
control of the republican machine.
What a ridiculous thing it is to
hear speaker declare that you
must not write your own constitu-
tion for fear it would not be ac-
ceptable to the republican leaders
of the East who own and control
the republican Congress.
Are the people of Arizona on their
knees before the corporate interests
and their henchman in Congress?
Must they beg to be allowed to enter
statehood? Must they set aside
their opportunity to write an ideal
constitution under which they must
live? Oh, no. The people of Ari-
zona are made of better stuff. They
are not slaves to do the bidding of
any master and they will insist on
making constitution that will be
better than any other State, and
will be wise in all its provisions for
the future government of the peo-
pie of Arizona.
The republicans are not really
against the initiative or referendum,
but they do fear that the people of
Arizona will rise in their might and
declare for self-government, which
would be disastrous to the big cor
porate interests who own and con-
troll the federal government at
Washington.

endum was part Of the republican
