SALT RIVER VALLEY COTTON

(Arizona Republican,
One OF the iorty-seyen well es
tablished agricultural industries OF
the Salt River valley is the growing
OF Egyptian cotton. There have been
about 45O bales of this textile pro
duced In the United States this sea-
son and about 275 of them in the Salt
River valley. The growing Of Egyp-
tian cotton is more profitable than
that Of any other kind The net pro-
fit in the valley is in the neighbOr-
hood OF $50 an acre.
For climatic reasons the Egyptian
cotton growing area in the United
States can not be greatly extended.
It has been proved by frequent exper-
iments TO he impracticable in the ST.
called cotton belt of the south whose
season is too short. The dry soil Of
the Salt River valley offers another
advantage to the cotton grower IN
that il is a deadly foe TO the boil
weevil which contributes TO the IN
certainty of the cotton crop in the
south. The pest cannot propagate
in the dry soil OF this valley. even
though it find Judgment for single
season is. in itself an unlikely contin-
gency.
We have said that the Egyptian
cotton growing area in the United
I States cannot be greatly extended,
| but the acreage within the area can
lie greatly increased as it undoubted-
| ly will be within this valley. About
400 acres were planted to Egyptian
cotton the past season and so profit
able has the business proved on both
sides of the river that undoubtedly
many farmers will put land to cotton
next year.

THE CONTEST OVER
THREE CENT FARE.

Before a United 5iales Circuit
Court Judge in Phoenix, early next
month, will commence a legal contest
over the validity, legality. and con
stitutionality Of an act Of the last leg
islature which fixed the passenger
rate on all railroads in Arizona at
three cents per mile.
Invoking the Referendum clause OF
the constitution the railroad compan
les appealed from the act Of the leg
islature to a vote Of the people and
the legislature was sustained by an
overwhelming majority.
This was a foregone conclusion II
the legislature had passed the act
reading two cents per mile instead
of three, a majority of the voters
would have marched to the polls on
election day and voted for two cent
passenger fare on railroads. On this
proposition every voter had selfish
interest at stake. Human nature as,
serted itself in a vigorous manner
says the Clifton Copper Era.
The constitution OF Arizona placed
in the hands Of the corporation com
mission of the state the power tc
regulate interstate passenger and
freight rates. Prior to the act Of the

the situation has its embarrassment
The railroad companies now claim
that under our constitution the leg

three cent fare rate on railroads in
Arizona prevent the railroads from
