QUESTION OF SWAMP AND OVER

L. STEWART TALKS.

Chicago, July 1.-'What the nation
most needs is the Intervention of
Uncle Sam to remove, to some extent,
some of the exceedingly abundant
blessings that a wise Providence has
"showered" upon His chosen spot of
the earth-the South"
Guy L. Stewart, agricultural and
Industrial commissioner of the St.
Louis Southwestern Railway, formerly
assistant to James Wilson, secretary
OF agriculture, thus expressed his at
titude toward the efforts of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress to be of fur
Their aid this year in the reclamation
problems of the South.
The National Irrigation Congress
meets in Chicago December 9Th to 9th
and at this gathering 1T is not unlikely
that some definite action concerning
swamp and overlooked land reclama-
ton by the government will be taken
by the delegates. Continuing, Mr.
Stewart says:
'Rice growing in Arkansas and
Texas and the reclamation of swamp
lands in Louisiana, which is just be-
ginning, are demonstrating to the
country at large the agricultural pos
sibilities of the ng-neglected south
Rice growing is an irrigation indus

the governors proclamation, which caused the primary to fall on Octo. Der 24th and the general election on December 18th. The same Ordinance No. } provides that on the third Monday after the general election the returning board, con- sisting of the governor, the secretary of the territory and the chief justice shall meet at Phoenix, canvass the returns from the various precincts, and make return to the President of the result. If that return shows the constitution amended to elim- mate the recall of the judiciary the President is to proclaim the state.
 The third Monday after the gen. eral election on December 12th is the first day of January, 1912, so the return from the Phoenix re, turning board cannot be certified to the President in 1911, and the presidential proclamation must be in 1912.
 Had Governor Sloan proclaimed the election at the end of thirty days-the shortest possible time instead of forty-two days, as he did, how would it have changed the result? In no way. The certi- fled return from the Phoenix re- turning board could not reach the

of the state election by Governor Sloan put the certified return up to the President so he could proclaim the state of Arizona in the year 1911. The foregoing statement re- lieves Governor Sloan of respons- ibily in the matter.
 Now, then, for an examination of the claim asserted by the Ari- zona Democrat that the officers now elected will hold until 1915. In the constitution of Arizona there are two provisions that will be in conflict if the state be pro- claimed in 1912, which would not interfere could the proclamation issue in 1911.
 The first is found on Page 9, and IS Section One Of Article V, which reads:
 'The Executive Department oi the State shall consist of ssoyern0r, Secretary If State, State Auditor, State Treasurer, Attorney General and SuperintendentO Ot Public Instruction, each of whom shall hold his office for two years beginning on the first Monday of January next after his election, except that the terms of the office of those elected at the election provided for in the Enabling Act approved June 20, 1910, shall begin when the State shall be admitted into the Union, and shall end on the first Monday in January, A. D. 1913, or when their successors are elected and qualify "

President in any way so he could proclaim the state in 1911. Twelve days earlier would have brought the election on the thirtieth of No. vember, instead of the twelfth of December. The third Monday after that date was the eighteenth of December, and upon that day the returning board would have begun it's work at Phenix-provid- ed all the returns from all the precincts in the Territory were al hand To check up all the pre- cincts, make sure they are all in, then to canvass them, find the total vote for each candidate from United States Senators down to members of the boards of super visors in each county, and compil,

 zona, has but this week completed it's work) So it would have been impossible for the Arizona return ing board to complete it's work be- fore the first of January, 1912. and in no way could the proclamation

WILL HOLD FOR THREE YEARS.

Arizona will not have another state election before 1914. Every officer chosen at the election of last Tuesday, Is elected three years instead of one, as had been generally supposed The joke of it all is that Governor Sloan Is responsible. He set the primaries and general election so near the end of 1911, that Arizona cannot become a state until 1912. And the constitution eX- pressly provides that the second state election-the first after Arizonas formal entrance into the Union-shall be held in the first even numbered year after the presidents proclamation is issued.
 All this is explained in detail in the Democrats leading editorial today Arizona Democrat.
 The foregoing article is very un- fair toward Governor Sloan. THE OASIS opines that the responsibility lies upon others than his excel lency. Under the enabling act and under the Smith Flood resolution, which governed him in calling the recent state election he could have hastened in no way the admission of Arizona by more than twelve days; and even had he done that the Presidents proclamation of the state would have fallen as 1t will now in 1912, instead of in 1911, as was anticipated when the constitu tion was framed; and the compli- cation the Democrat has pointed out would have ensued anyhow.
 It will be recalled that the Smith Flood resolution provided that the governor of Arizona should call the first state election not less than thirty nor more than sixty days after presidential approval of that resolution. The gubernatorial pro- clamation was issued inst forty-two days after the President approved the Smith Flood resolution. Or dinance No. ?, adopted by the con- stitutional convention provided that the election should be held under the provisions of the terri torial primary law. Under those provisions the primary and general elections could not be held earlier than certain periods of time after
