Fl! PdSO Times On
 Arizona Statehood

The Times is a democratic newspaper, ard the Arizona con- stitutiOn was framed by pseudo members of the constitutional convention, but these facts do not rob the proposed constitution of its objectionable features. The Times not and will not hesi- tate to condemn what 1t believes to be wrong in the democratic party just as readily as it would condemn wrong in the republi- can party. Memb bers of the democratic party are just as liable to err as members of the republican party, for both par ties are composed of individuals of the same human standard.
 The greatest error of the dem ocrats of Arizona in shaping their state constitution and the one that will undoubtedly render that instrument null and void when it reaches the city of Wash iugton is the attempted recall of the judiciary-the placing of the judges of the state completely at the mercy of the irresponsible and disgruntled rabble, which will not hesitate to use the power given it for unwise purposes, and i in order to preserve it's judicial integrity it is necessary for the people of Arizona to vote against the pending constitution on Feb ruary g, and compel the consti- tuition makers to reassemble and enact a new instrument with this indefensible provision eliminated
 Governor Sloan of Arizona is
 
 a repu blican, it is true, and 1t is but natural he should oppose the work of democratic constitu- tional convention. He has held a conference with the president of the United States, who is also 8 republican, and after that con ference warned the people of :. Arizona that the present coasti- tuition is an impossibility and is sure to defeat statehood It is a pretty safe proposition that the governor of Arizona knows what he is talking about, for he would make himself ridiculous if the conditions were other than as he has portrayed them.
 There is evidence that Gov ernor Sloan's assertions are true, however, and it would be well for the people of Arizona to con, sider the matter very carefully before going further in the mat
 ter of adopting the constitution. Ell Paso Times.

Desert Land Entrynea

According to a decision just made by the assistant secretary of the interior, it no longer is necessary that the IA months residence required of desert land entrymen before patents are issued to them be continuous.
 This important ruling makes it legal for an entryman to leave his land when necessary, provid- ed he obtains a leave of absence from the nearest land office re ceiver or register.
 The decision was made in the case of Sherman Shouse, an I'm perial valley settler.

Meeden Wins

The supreme court of the ter ritory last Friday heard the ap- plication of c. V. Meeden, con testing incumbent of the county assessors office, for @ writ of mandamus to compel the board of supervisors to turn over the county records to him in order that he might proceed with the annual assessment. The court decided that the terms of the en- abling act were such as to retain Meeden and all ot her appointive county officers in office, and that the appointment of A. B. Ming was therefore void. The con tention on the other side had been that only officers elected by popular ballot in 1908 were held in office under the act.

S5O,OOO Pumping Plant For the Colorado River Indian
 Reservation

Washington, Jan. IA. - Chief Engineer Cole of the Indian office has engineers at work pre- pairing for irrigation works on the Colorado reservation in Ari. zona, authorized by congress last year. It will be some time be- fore the plans are completed, it is said, because the task is a big one, and other similar projects on Indian lands are ahead of the Colorado River reservation pro- ject.
 The Indian bill passed last spring carried an item of $50, 900 for Q pumping station and plant on the Colorado River reserva- ton, from which it is expected to irrigate about 150, ,000 acres. When the irrigation work is completed it is the intention of congress to open up the irrigated lands to settlement after an al- lotment to the members of the Indian tribe on the reservation. It will be several months before this can be done, and special regulations for this allotment and entry of settlers will have to be made by congress.
 The irrigation plans are being worked out under Commissioner Valentine of the Indian office, and are kept separate from irri- gation works on the public domain, which are under the di- rection of the reclamation rer lamation service. It has been the policy of congress to prevent exploitation of Indian lands by private capital except where the Indians themselves have permit ted or petitioned for such ex- ploitation, as in the case of the five civilized tribes of Oklahoma. Even though mem bers of these tribes are citizens and legally competent to make individual contracts, the house committee on Indian Affairs is investigating contracts made by them for the sale of some of their allotted aud lands.
 With reference to the public lands it has been the policy of the interior department to have the government undertake the irrigation work and the reclama- tion service has number of vast projects now under way. Con- gress authorized at the last ses- sion bond issue of $50, 900, 900 to complete some of the more important of the projects. Sen ator Warren has pending in the senate committee on irrigation and reclamation of arid lands a bill throwing open irrigable lands on Indian reservations along the Colorado river other than the Colorado River reser- vation to irrigate under the Cary act by private enterprise or under the government by the reclamation service. The inte- rior department has given no official endorsement to this plan and Secretary Ballinger could not be seen today for 0 statement of position.

Yuma saloon men, as we'll as Yuma people generally, have taken a great deal of interest in this case, as the proximity of the reclamation work may prove to create a situation similar or even more stringent than that at Phoenix. The above decision, however, does not render the local status clear.
 As a measure of possible ad- vantage, on Wednesday most of the local liquor dealers, practi- cally all of whose licenses ex- pire on the first of April, made an advance application to the board of supervisors through the sheriff's office for 8 renewal of their licenses for one year from date of expiration. The board, by majority vote, supervisor Kent dissenting, instructed the sheriff that the matter was at his discretion. Sheriff Living ston is out of town, but it is said he is on record as not wishing to shoulder even a part of the responsibility, so it is not likely that the licenses will be issued until further developments show that the "six-mile limit" law does not apply here.

WOMEN JURORS REVOLT.

Reform of the current practice in the
selection of juries has no lack of earn
est advocates, but reform in the treat
rnent of juries deserves more attention
volt of women against jury service in
the state of Washington will bring the
question prominently before the public
This rather than damage to the cause
of equal suffrage, which so many of it's
opponents predict, would be the logical
outcome of the failure of the expert
ment with women jurors.
OF % fair voters who were summoned
in one jury panel in Seattle, % pleaded
the privilege Of their sex as giving
them exemption The one woman who
was willing to serve in the trial of
cases admitted frankly that she needed
the money; but she was excused by the
judge because she apprehended the
tinconvenience' of locking her up in a
room with II men.
The real trouble is admittedly this
close confining of Juries, and especial
" in protracted murder cases. The en-
ligntened example of Justice Dowling
in allowing the Thaw jurors to 90
home at night has not been generally
followed. In Tacoma the jury room
has been divided by a curtain so as to
separate the sexes in case a mixed jury
is locked up over night. Such a condi-
ton of affairs must be odious to any
sensitive woman.-Phf1ade1phia Press
PULLMAN PORTER VALUATION.
It will surprise no Intelligent person
to learn that a Pullman porter values
his position at 5000. Claiming that by
reason of a railroad accident he is no
longer able to pursue this lucrative
vocation one such has sued for dam
ages in that amount. Counsel for the
railroad will doubtless submit that the
claim is excessive, since the wage Of
the porter is only $50 a month. And
If, as appears, the plaintiff is capable
of engaging in another occupation the
suit should be dismissed altogether.
Thirty dollars a month is not hard to
pick I'D, provided q man is not addict
ed to bad habits and is willing to work
The plaintiff, of course. anticipates the
raising OF just such points. His bill
sets forth that his income, with
negligible variation, was 500 month

PROGRESS OF UNITED STATES

Statistical Record of the Progress
of the United States, 1800-1911'' is the
title of small document just issued
by the Bureau of Statistics, department
of commerce and labor. 1t pictures
in statistical form conditions in the
commercial, financial, Industrial and
transportation systems of the United
States at brief intervals since the year
1900, down to, and in many instances
including the year 1911. In those
cases in which the subjects considered
are measured by governm entail fiscal
year periods, the figures for the fiscal
year 1911 are included; in those in
which calendar year periods are used,
of course, statements can only terrni-
nate with the calendar year 1910
Among the interesting facts shown
are that the area of continental United
States was S43,255 square miles in
1900, advancing to 1,734,63O square
miles in 1910; to 2,995,536 square
miles in 1850; and 3,026,7S9 square
miles in 1853. since which date no
change in area is shown. The popu-
lation. which was Is million in 1900.
was SO q million in 1911 Public debt,
which was SO million dollars in 1900,
reached 2,675 million dollars less cash
in treasury in 1865. the figures of 1911
being 1,O15 million dollars The per
capita debt, which was $3.50 in 1900,
and in 1855 s769s. is in 1911 S1O.gs.
The interest charge per capita, which
amounted to 81 cents in 1900, and
$4.12 in 1866, was in 1911, 23 cents,
and the total annual interest charge,
which was in 1865, 146 million dollars,
was in 1911. 1 1-3 million dollars
Money in circulation, stated as 26M
million dollars in 1900, was in 1911,
ss,22s.627.Oo2, and the per capita cir
culation, which was in 1900 s4.ss, was
in 1911, S34.35. Deposits in all banks
in the country cannot be shown earlier
than in 1875, at which date they are
set down as a little over 2 billion dol
lars, and in 1910. over Is billion dol
lars. The number of depositors in
savings banks in 1920. the earliest
year for which the figures can be
shown, was a little less than thou
sand; ana in 1910. over million. Gov
ernment receipts, which amounted to
$2.04 per capita in 1900, were in 1855,
$14.65. and in 1911, $7.45, or about
one-half what they were in 1866. Ex-
