CAUSE OF LIBERTY
GOES MARCHING ON
Seventeen Were Wounded Yesterday
in a Demonstration on the
Streets of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 26-Two We're
fatally wounded and fifteen We're in
jured in riots today following the re-
turn of Madero from a speaking tour
in the south. The police Were Obliged
to draw sabres and charge. Mani
festants were parading the streets
and shouting "Vivas" for the return
ing candidate when the police called
upon them To disperse. The rioters
gathered in the Zocalo in front of the
city hall, shouting n demand for the
resignation Of the secretary Of the
governor of the federal district. The
charge was repeated half an hour
later in a factory district ten blocks
away. Neither riot had had political
significance. Their origin on the day
Madero returned was either coinci-
dent or due to the fact that thou
sands of manifestants were on the
streets. This made it easy for trouble
makers TO get in their work.

From Satisfactory But
Declares Business is Safe

Least.

statement:
Existing conditions are affecting
business to the extent that instead or

toners are buying only for immediate
requirements. Nevertheless. strange as
it may seem, the volume of prompt
business is larger than usual, speci-
fications running to upwards Of thirty
thousand tons daily. OF four and a
half million tons on the books, 92O.-
600 of which is inter company busi-
ness. may be said from the standpoint
of mill operations to be better business
than on the old time order book for
double tonnage, inasmuch as it repre-
sents active business capable of speci-
fications and in sufficient volume TO
require that we operate our mills on
the present basis for some months to
come.

tonight declaring emphatically there
were no negotiations whatever between

TO SECY. FISHER:

HUTCHINSON. Kas. Sept 26.-Near

RESOLUTION WILL
CAUSE HOT DEBATE
And il is Certain it Will Not Make
Hit With the Arizona
Delegates.

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 26.-One of
the subjects discussed at the Pub
lie Lands convention here this month
that is expected to cause a heated
deba-e is that of federal reclama-
ton of the semi arid lands of the
west. While il is generally believed
that the government has accomplished
great good in this connection, there
are many prominent western men
who say that the system is too eX-
pensive and that methods used are
arbitrary. The following resolution
will be introduced in this connection:
We believe that experience has
shown that the methods of the recla-
nation service in the irrigation of
arid lands have been less eXpenditious
and economical and more arbitrary
and unjust in disregard Of the equit-
able rights of its water users and
other competitive projects than those
Of irrigation districts and private en-
terprises.
we therefore recommend that no
new projects be undertaken by the
reclamation service; that as to those
not already completed, where con-
siderable majority of the users are
dissatisfied with the manner of con-
struction or plan of operation, and so
desire, they should be turned over to
the users for completion and opera
ton upon reasonable terms of re-
payment to the government for work
done"
This resolution probably is the
most drastic that has been drawn
up to this time, but it clearly indi-
Gates the growing sentiment against
what is termed arbitrary use of
power of the bureaucratic form of
government at Washington" Specific
incidents will be cited to prove the
contentious along this line and al
together the methods of the federal
reclamation service will be gone into
in a thorough manner for the pur-
pose of acquainting all the people OF
the west Of its method of opera
ton. II will then be up to the con-
Yention to decide whether the critics
OF the government have established
their case. In the final analysis the
farmer pays the entire cost of all ir-
rigation enterprises and naturally he
is vitality interested in their economi-
cal construction.

The above Is only one of numerous
embarrassing situations that the peo-
pie of Arizona are confronting in try
ing to launch a state government un-
der laws that are either conflicting or
not clearly defined. It would seem
that in the matter of precinct officers
there can be no election with the GER
tainty that il will not be contested,
unless some action is taken at once to
secure n precedent through court rul-
ing. The governor has merely decided
that IL is a situation in which he has
no power to act 1t has been suggest
ed that one possible method would be
for some candidate to file n petition
with a board of supervisors at once,
have il rejected and then bring man
damus proceedings to compel the board
to accept il, the case to be placed be-
fore the court at the earliest possible
time If the county boards follow the
governors opinion there will Of course
be no election of precinct officers until
a legislature meets and orders one.
But some Of them NAV not do 50. They
may decide to go ahead and elect pre-
cinct officers anyway and as an after
math the old officers may attempt TO
hold over or in the case of contests it
may be shown that the new ones were
not legally elected In that event some
present officers who would gladly sur
render to elected SUCCESSORS, may find
il Illegal to do so.

Board of Supervisors,
Graham Count,
Solomonville, Arizona.
Gentlemen:
I beg to acknowledge receipt Of your
letter of September 22nd inquiring as
to the reason for the omission from my
proclamation of any mention of pre-
cinct officers. and to say that after
careful consideration of the constitu-
ton Ordinance No. >. and the Enabling
Act. reached the conclusion that pre-
cinct officers should be excluded from
the election proclamation for the reas-
on that the number of justices Of the
peace to be elected in cities, towns and
precincts was left by section . Of Ar
legislation and no provision was made
in the constitution for any election Of
justices of the peace at the first state
election The same is true with ref
erence to other precinct officers. l
am aware that section of ordinance
No. . mentions precinct officers, but
in the same connection the precinct
officers referred to are such as are
provided for by said constitution. In
asmuch. therefore. as the constitution
does not provide for such officers i'm
mediately. but leaves their number.
powers, duties and jurisdictions to be
provided for by future law and makes
no provision for an election at this
time I construe said section of the
ordinance to be an insufficient war
rant for proclaiming an election of JUS
tices Of the peace or other precinct Of
ficers.
