without any blowing of trumpets
or beating Of tom.toms, the Terri
torial Board Of Equalization on Sat.
urday after one of the most import
ant sessions in the history OF that
body, raised the assessed value Of the
railroads Of Arizona % per cent and
thereby added 2,447,74s.15 to the
assessment roll. Beides this, there
were n number Of roads, on which the
tar exemption expired this year, and
upon these was placed n valuation OF
s3,3s6,2s5, making a total valuation
Of all taxable railroad properties Of
81, $685. sl.l5 rs against s10,779,6 4s
last year, OF an increase OF $3.50, 033.
To this should be added O0,333.45,

INSURGENTS EXPECTED TO BOLT

win the insurgent republicans walk
out of the republican national con.
vention next year, as the Free silver
republicans walked out in 1896,
This question is being considered
at present by a majority Of the re.
publicans in Washington, and IL has
been forced TO the front because Of
the sharp division Of the senate over
the choice Of president pro TEN.
pore, writes W. W. Jermape In the
Portland Oregonian.
The insurgents declare they will
not walk out Of the national conven.
tion, and they point 10 their famil.
iarity with the history Of such
movements in American politics as
sufficient reason why they should
not. But the regulars declare that
the drift Of events seems almost Ger.
tain to demand such action. II IL
clear that the regulars as "A whole
are strongly Of the opinion that
there will be such action and that
the progressives, in 1912, will form
a third party, appealing for support
to the radical elements among both
the republicans and the democrats
for the majority in neither national
convention, it is claimed, will be
controlled by the radicals.
The republican convention for in.
stance seems certain to renominate
President Taft, on a platform which
will recognize good many Of the
radical doctrines but which will
draw the line at the initiative, refer.
endum and recall. The progressives
meanwhile are making these three
issues the main features Of their pro.
gram, and they have been doing so
for a number Of months.
In the republican convention every
delegate will be permitted to vote
his convictions on these and all
other questions coming up, and yet,
with this the case, even the pro-
gressives do not hope TO be able to
control the convention.
"That action" says Mr.. Tawney,
twill make the initiative, referen.
DUN and recall the paramount issue
Of the campaign, and sharply divide
the country, as did the issue Of free
silver. There will be- the tariff IL.
sue, Of course, but IL will be Of Sec
ondary importance, mad besides there
are low tariff and high tariff men
in large numbers in both parties, and
the difficulties in the way Of max.
ing the tariff the chief issue will
thus be made more difficult than
ever before. The fact that the In.
surgents In the senate hold the bal.
anee Of power in that body will in
this session and the one Of next win.
ter, In my opinion, so put the en-.
treme views Of the iprogrsssivss 10
the fore as TO make those visws log.
iosily the chief issue in 1912"
With this the case, the campaign
Of 1912, like the campaign Of 1895
will be campaign Of education
There win be much diligent study on
the part Of politicians in both par
ties Of the way the initiative, refer
endum aud recall have worked In
those countries and states which
have adopted them, and the result,
Of this study will be spread before
the people In speeches and news
papare articles without number. The
result Of the campaign ought to de
termine once for all the attitude OF
the United States toward those ques
lions, just as the result In 1896 de
termined its attitude toward free sil
yer.

GET AFTER MOISTURE EARLY
Every Move Made This Spring Should
Be With Idea That No Rain
Would Fall Till July.

Every move made with the soil this
spring, whether in field or garden,
should be done with the same care
fitness that would be exercised If We.
knew there would not be another drop
of rain till July. If this is done.
whether we have a moist or very
dry growing season, we shall have a
good garden and fair crops.
BY narrowing closely after every
particle of spring blowing or disking,
by passing heavy roller over all too
loose soils and following with fine
harrow, this can be done on large
and surely paying scale.
In the garden do the same, and In
addition, after any shower and once
or twice a week, shower or no show
er, pass an iron or steel rake over
the slightly hardened surface between
the rows and hills close up to the
plants. Should ample moisture come
and the chances are about even
many springs that 1t will not-all the
extra tillage and firming of the soil
will be we'll paid for in other ways
than by retaining the moisture. and
should the spring prove one of the
old time very dry ones, 1t may mean
crop or garden.

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAILS
Fields Must be Handled Oineren''y
During Very Dry Seasons IMAM
When Rain 10 Plentiful.

Those sections that have actually
suffered from a surplus OF water, I'M
less the farms were properly under
drained, will have an experience du-
ring the dry seasons that Will iead
them to pay attention to the details
of what is called dry farming Let
no one be unduly fearful because OF
the results which will follow from
the dry seasons. AS we nave noteo
above. these seasons are favorable TO
the doing of some very Important
things. They are particularly gooo
In that the grain which we grow VIII
be free from rust and the straw Will
be as bright as can be DESIRED
but we must handle our fields dl1-
ferently during these seasons tnah
during those where we have aDun-
dant and sometimes more than abun-
dant rains. Briefly we will state tnae
we will plow with much care, says the
Dakota Farmer. We Will plow as
early as possible after harvest or else
use a packer SO as to establish rea-
sonable degree of solidity In the
plowed field. We will not SOW broad
cast but use a drill and in some cases
it will be very desirable to use some
form of a press drill. We will drag
the grain as we'll as the corn. We VIII
drag the corn longer than we do the
grain fields because the grain Will
sooner cover the ground by its growth
and so shading it will prevent the es-
cape of moisture. The dryer the sea-
son the more thoroughly we will cult
vate this corn with the surface cult
vator and continue that cultivation
later than ordinarily. We can use
single horse cultivator with surface
blades and while the dust will rise
and the ground will appear to be like
ash heaps, still beneath that loose
ness of dry earth there will be main
tanned a reasonable degree of that
moisture that is absolutely essential
to the growth of the corn plant. Let
us take comfort that under these
dry farming conditions and dry
weather periods, we will not have
rust on our potatoes but some of the
best crops of this kind will be grown
during these seasons. We can have
a reasonable degree of size in the po-
tato, but better than all this we Will
have the high quality Of potato that
is rarely ever grown when the sea-
sons of abundant rains maintain.

FARM NOTES.

In trying alfalfa start with an acre.
A good lawn makes a home attrac-
tive.
Kentucky blue grass makes a very
pretty lawn.
Alfalfa is cut for hay when it first
begins to bloom.
A good rotation: Glover, wheat.
corn, fax, wheat.
Celery is best grown from seed
planted in the hotbed.
The best alfalfa or clover seed to
SOW is that which is northern grown
For fall feed mix two pounds per
acre of dwarf essex rape with the
grain.
Start the garden by sowing beans,
lettuce. peas, radishes, and spinach
in hotbed.
AS soon as the soil can be worked
in the garden sow the smooth, early
varieties of peas.
For early rhubarb, put a headless
barrel over a root of the plant, and
pile fresh horse manure around it.
Roll the lawn to firm the soil about
loosened by the heaving Of the frost
Not only for retaining WORKOUT
land but for bringing that in fair con-
dition into higher state of fertility,
green manuring is at once efficient
and cheap.
Head lettuce will grow best in a
we'll drained, light clay soil, slightly
mixed with sand. The soil should be
full Of humus and heavily MANFRED
with well-rotted stable fertilizer.
Glover and the other legumes
which come in the ordinary rotation
of crops, not only supply humus but
add nitrogen gathered from the air by
the bacteria resident in their root
nodules.
The raised bed must be tended BY
hand. and 1t dries out too fast in DIR,
weather. Make all beds level witt
the surface Of the ground to saw,
moisture and make the work of tend
ing them easier.

THE GRAPHIC Is 4 NEWSPAPER.

The Union Advocate in recent is
favoritism in publishing the list Of
names of those who We're raded in a

ner's saloon on the afternoon of Sep

list of those who were arrested in the
raid over Bluestein and Marks old
stand on West Second avenue several
slwards, and would infer that
those arrested in the raid in the latter
place were prominent" and because
of this fact the Graphic did not use
them.
The Graphic published the names in

resentative made determined effort
to get the names of those arrested
in the second raid, but was unable TO
get a complete list and because OF
this fact would not publish partial
list. The Graphic is showing no fav-
oritism. 1t intends to publish matters

ions that g not reflect credit on
Young men and old men and some

will Try and do its duty regardless of
the efforts of some people TO suppress
the news.
The Graphic has no i'll feeling
against any individual or set OF men.
It is not responsible for the actions
of men and whenever men get in

to suppress the news. If you hap

that this paper do not publish it. Your

There are certain kinds of stories
which O respectable paper will pub

loin districts will not be published in
the Graphic nor will any other news
that tAe Graphic deems not fit to

own Judgment as to its news columns
and what should go in them
We are glad to note tae complaint
of the Advocate The Graphic is glad
to tell why it was prevented from
publishing the names of those caught
in the second raid. and by the way
some of those arrested in the second
raid were in the first police court at
fair. The Graphic will handle story
about rich man just the same as It
does about the poorest individual in
this city or county. 1t does not play
favorites with any of them Just be-
cause man happens to be prominent
pressed any more than we would be
justified in suppressing the name OF
the man who is not so Well fixed
The Advocate knows that the Ora
phic has always published the news. 1t
will continue to do SO 1t also knows
that there is paper in Pine Bluff
that never fails to report something
unfavorable about a poor man or his
son, and that makes a specially OF
Suppressing news that would not re-
fleet credit on more fortunate man
of wealth or some member of his fam
lily. That paper has always permitted
its business office to govern it's policy
1t knows that the poor man has little
influence or patronage and uses the
news because the poor man don't
amount to much" in its estimation
But let anything happen that involves
business man, who has advertising
to give out or who is influential. and
not a word is said The Graphic plays
no favorites. 1t will continue to pub
