Direct Election Of Senators Passed.

Direct Election of Senators Passed.
Washington, D. G. - The house Of
representatives, by vote of 296 to
is, passed the RuckeT resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendment for
the direct election of United States
senator's. This is the first of the Dem
ocratic program measures passed by
the house. Backed by a solid Demo-
cratic phalanx it went through with
out modification and with speed that
brought protests from the Republicans.
Former Speaker Cannon, Republic
an Leader Mann and others of the Re-
publicans, who voted against the
measure, declared that its form was
such as to threaten the federal gov
eminent with the loss of the control
over senatorial elections in the states
given to safeguard the integrity Of
these elections. They insisted, as did
other Republicans who ultimately
voted for the resolution, that the di-
rect election amendment should be Of
fered without any language attached
that might be dangerous to the future
congressional supervision of senator
ial elections
To Broaden Tariff Work.
Encouraged by the smooth working
of their new legislative machine,
Democratic leaders of the house are
planning to extend their tariff revision
program. Until this time the only
tariff tinkering determined upon in
Guided Canadian reciprocity, the free
list to benefit the farmers opposed to
the reciprocity bill as it stands, and
the wool and cotton schedules, but
now it has been determined to revise
the agricultural schedule.
Revision of the wool schedule of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, accepted as
forming part Of the program of the
Democratic house Of representatives
will have to be undertaken without
the assistance Of the tariff board It
was announced following the first full
meeting of the house committee on
ways and means, that the tariff board
is not yet in a position to furnish in
formation on the wool schedule that
would be of use to that committee.

Sorghum, vs. Johnson Grass.
snccial 10 The Arizona Democrat.

Special to The Arizona Democrat
 PREscoTT, Sept. 9.-F. H. Brock, a farmer on Willow Creek, four miles north of Prescott, seems to be in a fair way of solving the Johnson grass problem for Arizona farmers.
 Early in 1909 Mr. Brock plowed up an acreage on his farm which had been taken possession of by the Johnson grass. In this acreage, the farmer sowed sorghum He paid little attention to the field until the time for harvest. when he found that the sorgum had forced out two thirds of the offending weed.
 During the whole of last year MT. Brock paid no attention to the field, but this year he resowed to sorghuE with the result that the latter, which bIoomed at the same time, seems to have pollen ized with the grass. This has had the astounding effect of producing in large patches sorghum stalks of average size and hardness, topped with the plume characteristic of the Johnson grass.
 U. s. Commissioner J. M. w. Moore, who brought the samples of the two stalks into the Chamber of Commerce office yesterday, be- lieyes the sorghum will eventually exterminate it's rival. He contends that the Johnson grass and the cane evidently belong to the same species and that the sorghum being

live Stock M arket.

NANoAc OAA ONRh- VI Cattle supply here this week 5S,- 200, last week 59700, same week last year SO0O0. The supply this week included fewer of the choice to prime fed steers, and great number of sdortfed and wintered grassers. Choice to prime beeves closed steady to 10 cents higher, aud range from $700 to $500. Shortfed and medium natives closed weak to 10 cents lower, at $6.25 10 $6.75. The best grassers ruled slow and weak to 10 cents lower, the best selling around 700, but they were not to be compared with the kind selling at S735 to S7.5O last week. Native grass cows bring $500 to $4.60, including canners, fed cows up to $6.25. In the quarantine division steers de- clined 10 to 20 cents, and range from s 90 to $5.25,. cows closed weak to 10 cents lower and calves were strong to 9 cents higher, the tops reaching $7.75 the highest paid since February. The stocker aud feeder trade has been very un- even this week. The best feeders aud stockers are weak to 10 cents lower, but the medium class of feeders, from which there has been very little competition from the pa :kers, closed dull and 15 to 20 cents lower. The best feeders range from $525 to $5.75, best stock steers $425 to $5.25 and medium and low grade steers down to s %.
 Hogs received here this week 37,0O0, last week 9,700, same week d year ago 21,500. Bearishness was again the prevailing feature in the hog market during the week and large declines were recorded. General quality while better in the latter part of the week was hardly as good as during the preceding period, there being slightly large percentage of common mixed grades in the pens. Coarse heavy hogs were also in larger offering. The demand was stronger for the light and medium weight butcher grades than for any other The bulk of sales ranged from $700 to $720 today.
 Sheep received here this week 71,O00, last week 50,700, same week last year 38, 400 Bulk of the run consisted largely of lambs, and az result lamb prices showed final loss of 35 to 50 cents. Aged sheep, however, were in limited offerings at all points, but local prices, in sympathy with drop in lamb values, showed a loss of 10 to 20 cents. Best fat yearlings are worth $4.25, ewes $3.35, wethers $3.60. Good to choice lambs range from $4 85 to $5.65.
