Republican
Convention

The postponed town repub!i-
can convention was called to
order at 2:15 o'clock Friday after
noon by Chairman f. L. Ewing.
Louis Levy officiated as secre-
tary.
The delegates had caucused
that morning and agreed on
most of the candidates and plat
form, SO the proceedings were
chiefly formal and took but an
hours time.
Seven caucus candidates for
councilmen were nominated, as
follows:
T. l.. Ewing,
w. G. Peterson,
A. l.. Verdugo,
c.. D. Baker,
H. Vance Ciymer,
John Wadin,
Max Czuczka.
]. L. Redondo was nominated
for city recorder, Ward Priest
for street commissioner and
Henry Levy for marshal.
The following were appointed
as a town central committee to
conduct the campaign; Il. H.
Donkersley, Q. c. Johnson. T.
d. Molloy, M o. Archibald, r.
E. Paterson, r. a. Mcpherson,
James R. Kilgore This com
mittee was authorized to Fill any
vacancies on the ticket that
might occur.
Mol!oy then introduced a res
olution forbidding any candidate
on the republican ticket to allow
his name to go on any other
ticket nled. There was some
objection to this, but after a
brief debate it was passed as a
party measure by vote Of Il TO
4. This resolution later caused
considerable trouble.

Candidates Replaced

The Molloy resolution, for
bidding republican candidates in
the town election to accept en-
dorsement on other tickets, re?
suited in the Withdrawal Of three
candidates-W. G. Peterson, DR..
H. V. Clymer and G. D. Baker.
Mr.. Peterson was not q delegate
in the convention, and this novel

him without consultation or
forewarning. The other two
resigning candidates voted for

The Rivers Of Yuma County

The Colorado, the Gila and the

drain a watershed of 255, 1914
square miles. The Bill Williams
forms the northern boundary
between Yuma and Mohave.
counties. The ella winds its
tortuous course across the coun-
try from east to west, and joins
the Colorado just above the city
of Yuma. This river drains Il
territory vast in scope and in
comparable in financial possibil
tiles. It has several irrigation
propositions that offer unqu
tionable advantages and will in
time be utilized. The Colorado.

Of the Grand Canyon, that stu

but rich acres Of semi tropical
Arizona, and bring to those
hardy pioneers and enterprising
and pndaunted laborers who
conquer and control it's mighty
force, worldly wealth beyond the
dream Of .Alladin, forms the
western boundary of Yuma
county for 225 miles.
1t is this mighty river that the
engineers Of the reclamation Ser
vice are now subverting to the
use Of man. For years the re
clamation service has been ob
tanning and compiling data as to
the Colorado river, with the Elti
mate object ia view Of using its
waters to redeem the adjacent
lands. Measurements of the
flow made by the government
engineers show that the Colora
do has minimum discharge of
approximately 5000 cubic feet
per second. The maximum dis
charge exceeds a half million
cubic feet per second. AS the
river is supplied mainly by melt
ing SHOWS, its season of greatest
flow is during May, June and
July, when the greatest amount
of water is needed for irrigation.
The government engineers esti
mate that, properly regulated,
the Colorado river will be able
to furnish a continuous stream
for irrigation purposes sufficient
to irrigate 1900. 000 acres, and
the volume will be so far in ex
cess. of the requirements of the
lands below the Grand Canyon
that no restriction need be put
upon the storage and diversion
Of waters from the tributaries of
the Colorado.
This gives assurance to the
man who purchases and improves
property that he will not be in
after years deprived of water on
account of its being used higher
up the stream. One developing
property by means of the water
from the Colorado can feel as
sured that his posterity for many
genersti tions to come will, or can,
enjoy the fruits of his labors.
Experiments made by the Ari-
zona experiment station at Yuma
show the waters of the Colorado
to have d fertilizing value of
from SO cents to 50 per acre foot.

A WORD ARour SOCIALISM.

T HE JOURNAL makes an exception to its
i rule today by printing in the Peoples
Column an anonymous communication refer
ring to Socialism. The writer did not sign his
name, but we assure him that his name would
not have been used for publication had he signed
it unless he So desired
We print the letter for other reasons, one of
which is that had we not done So our unknown
friend might have thought the capitalist press
was suppressing articles about Socialism Another
reason why we print it is because we think the
article is very well written. temperate in tone,
and surely within the proper bounds of news
paper discussion. We are always pleased to re-
Ceive such letters. The only time we have cen
sured any letters is when they in our judgment
contained uncalled for personal abuse of some
individuals, but il may be said for the Socialists
that, as a rule it is the capitalist system" as
they call IT, that they attack and not individuals.
The Socialist writer states our objections quite
fairly, and we confess are forced to stand
pat on them Our contributor however int-
mates very strongly that we don't understand
Socialism, That is favorite phrase OF the adj
vocates of Socialism when writing about those
who object to some of its conclusions. II we
don't understand anything about it, many weary
hours of reading on the subject have gone for
naught
Without going into any serious discussion OF
the subject we may say that the Socialists are
very strong i'm many of their arguments against
the present order of things They are. weak
and they know it, when tAey come to apply their
system to actual everyday life.
We can only repeat that we should not want

EXpEcTs HIGHER PRICES.

Vt IGHER and not lower prices Of oommodi-
i 4 ties is what Mr. Ebert IL. Gary, chair
man of the Board of the Steel Trusts expects,
and he sees no reason why lower prices should
be thought Of The nation, according to Mr.
Gary is reaping the harvest of abundant prosper
itv. Labor and material and general expenses
are higher and the consumer must pay the fiddler.
The persons hardest hit by the advancing
prices are those who live on fixed incomes,
preachers and the like, teachers and those IN the
unoreanized occupations With constantly adj
vancine prices it will became difficult for them to
make both ends meet
Ii is grave question whether the excessive
high prices complained of are justified. Most
thinkers on the subject believe that the prices OF
commodities are kept high through artificial
manpuaton and not because of free manufac-
ture. The scarcity OF raw material would tend
to increase prices of the manufactured product,
but neither our nation nor the world under nor
NAL conditions, would show scarcity OF raw
material In this country in particular the pres
sure of population on the resources has not begun.
The United States are not thicllly settled like
some OF the older nations and if prices are excess
ivelv high now what will they be in the course OF
a few wears when population has greatly in
creased
