 4 VEGETABLE PEST
Suggestions as to Methods of Fighting
 Johnson Grass.

Sometime ago when the question Of Johnson grass was being discussed by the farmers. together with methods for its eradication. Secretary Welch of the board of trade addressed an inquiry to the agricultural department. He has received in reply a letter from the bu- reau of plant industry, accompanied by few copies of a bulletin on John son grass and its eradication. The bulletin is referred to in the letter and those interested may peruse 1t at the board of trade rooms. The copies are too few in number for distribution. The letter from the bureau of plant in dustry contains valuable suggestions and is therefore published as follows: Mir. Harry Welch. secretary
 Phoenix board of trade,
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 Your letter of August 4th to the Hon. secretary of agriculture has been for warded to this office for reply.
 On land that can be put to a rota- ton, including meadow or pasture, Johnson grass can be eradicated with out much difficulty. The root stock of this weed undergo a change in habit when the land is in grass. which rem ders the weed much more easy to eradicate than when it is growing on land that has been in cultivated crops. We have published a bulletin covering the above method. a copy of which we are sending you under separate cover. This weed seems to be getting rath- er widely distributed in southern irri- gatiOn sections. where it is spreading largely by seeds from plants growing along ditches. It could not be cmpha- sized too strongly that Johnson grass should be prevented from going to seed along irrigation ditches. The simplest way to effect this is to mOw or cut the seed stems close to the surface during the Towering stage. or some little time before they start forming seed. It will be necessary to make these cut tings several times a year in order to prevent seed formation.
 If there are any other questions you wish to raise regarding this subject. after reading the bulletin, please write us
 Very truly yours,
 (Signed) IT. R. COX,
 Scientific Assistant.

 Tacoma, Wash, Sept s, 1911. MT. Harry Wclch,
 Secretary, Phoenix Board of Trdae.
 Phoenix, AriZ. Dear MT. Welch:-
 Please accept my best thanks for your prompt and courteous reply of the 31st ultimo to my enquiry re garding conditions in the valley. The literature, descriptive of the dam and valley in general has also come to hand and is comprehensive ard fills the bill exactly. l am pleased to note from the ads in the current papers of Phoenix, which you sent me, that land has not advanced. as yet. to an unreasonable figure, and presume that a person on the ground could pick up a small ranch at fair figure.
 As soon as l am able to get my property in Tacoma disposed of, it's me for Arizona l lived in the valley long enough to get SD l could thor oughly enjoy it, and intend to return as soon as conditions will permit. which will be, I am sure, within the coming twelve months.
 Again thanking you for your kind ness. I am, your very sincerely, (Signed) ROSS BEIltIf.
 I might say that a friend of mine who has a competence 1C the worlds goods. is also seriously considering heading towards Phoenix, through my boosting for the valley and perusal of the literature you sent me.

likewise the salaries of the vice-presi- dent and of members of the cabinet were fixed at sI2,00O instead of $S,OOO as formerly.
 One member of the cabinet-the secretary of state-gets only SS,OOO a year now, however. When Senator Knox of Pennsylvania was selected by MT. Taft for secretary of state, the question of his eligibility was raised, it being pointed out that the salary of the secretary of state had been increased while Mir Knox was q senator, which made it illegal for him to be the beneficiary of such increase. Accordingly, to get rid of the embarrassment, a special act was rushed through congress reducing the salary of secretary of state to the former figure. $S,O0O.
 In addition to the presidents sal ary, large appropriations are made every year for the salaries of the clerical force and other employees at the White House, which relieves the president of all expense in that di- rection. Also. for his travelling eX- penses in the fiscal years 19lO-ll the sum of $25,OOO was appropriated.
 In addition to their salaries, sen ators and representatives are reim- bursed for their travelling expenses between their homes and Washing ton, each member getting mileage" at the rate of 20 cents mile each way for each session of congress.
 The presidents salary and the sal aries of senators and representatives have been increased twice since the beginning of the government. The first congress. after long debate. in which figures ranging from $15,OO0 to S70,O60 a year were advocated, fixed the salary of the president at $25 OOO and it so remained until the famous salary grab" by congress in the second term of Grants admins tration, when the presidents salary was increased to s5O.OOO. and the salaries of senators and representa- tives were increased from S2,50O to 5000 a year with back pay" for the previous term. Each senator and also has q private sec retary, paid by the government.

The Legislature

While most of the political discus sion so far has related to candidates for the United States senate, for congress. and for governor, the fact remains that SD far as the tax payers of Arizona are concerned the legislature is of first importance
 The first state legislature will de- eide what the liked charges" of the state government must be. All sal aries not fixed by the constitution will be named by the first legislature. The legislature may create additional offices, and in that event will say what salaries shall attach. There will no doubt be a general revision of county salaries.
 In addition to the question of sal aries, the legislature will determine what. if any. provision shall be made for the payment of the state debt. At present there is no provision except for the payment of interest on the debt No provision whatever has been made for a sinking fund for the retirement of outstanding bonds at maturity.
 In any case. the most capable and conscientious legislature that can be elected will find it necessary to in crease the state government expenses over what they have been under ter Iitorial government-salaries hereto fore paid by the United States, in- cluding the expenses of the legislature, will hereafter be paid by the people oi Arizona.
 Numerous problems relating to state lands, taxation, and all the complex machinery of a new state will confront the first legislature.
 Now, while there is yet no political feeling of consequence. the people of the territory should be giving careful attention to the personnel of the legislature. It will not do to fol- low the custom of former years and give legislative nominations to men merely because they want to go to the legislature. There should be the most rigid scrutiny of the character and qualifications of every Iegisla- tive candidate.
 It would be a good thing for the state if citizens generally would re solve that they will give no man control oyer the purse strings of the. state unless he himself is a tax payer.
 The advisory vote for United States senators provided by the constitution makes the political complexion of the legislature a matter of secondary i'm portance-members of the legislature. whether republican or democrats. inI voting for senator will merely ratify the vote of the people in the general election. Consequently, the fact that 2 candidate for the legislature is al republican or a democrat should weigh little for or against him inI comparison with the question of his personal honesty, education, business ability and real interest in the wei fare of the state as taxpayer.

The salaries inquired about are as follows:
 President, s75.OOO a year;
 Vice president, $12.OOO a year;
 Senators and representatives, $75OO a year.
 The difference of opinion mentioned by our correspondent is not surpris- ing. as there are many well informed people who have not kept in mind the changes in salaries made by the sixtfeth congress. That congress raised salaries all along the line. The presidents salary, previously S5o,O0O a year. was fixed at s75,OOO The salaries of senators and representa- tives. previously $5,OOO a year were increased to s7.5OO. The salary of the speaker of the house, previously s8.OOO. was increased to $l2,OOO, and

With brutal disregard for the feel ings of the professional reformers- worse than that; in a spirit of pre- meditated malicious mischief-the Democrat puts forth the story that the republicans in the coming cam paign are to have a big campaign fund. Now, how is the professional
 reformer to know whether the Demo crat is drawing on it's fertile imagina- ton or not? And what can be moro distressfuI for the professional re- former than to be forced into doubt as to which party he will support? %

The Hon. "Gwp" Hunt, the Gila county aspirant for the democratic nomination for governor, has new press agent. His name is F. Harris BHghton. and he publishes a weekly paper from Tucson. And judging from the savage manner in which the new press agent is attacking Col Weedin, we judge that Mir. Hunt is not pleased with Weedin's system of tearing down political fences.
