SENDS MESSAGE
President Taft Asks Congress
to Appropriate S5OO,OOO
To Fight the Floods in the Mis-
sissippi Valley.

Washington, April 2.-President Taft
today took quick action to bend the
energies of the government toward
stopping the threatened floods in the
Missouri and Mississippi river valleys.
Following conferences with Secretary
Stirnson and General Bixby, chief OF
engineers and several senators and
congressmen from states bordering
these two great streams, he sent
message to congress urging the I'M
mediate appropriation of $500,000 to
he used in strengthening the levees and
irving to prevent further flood dam
The president will use part of the
appropriation, if granted by congress
in destroying a huge ice gorge in the
missouri river between Yankton and
Vermillion, s. D.
~ am advised by the secretary of
war whose report 1 transmit herewith, >
saws the president, in his message
that the flood in the Mississippi valley
NV reason of the rise in all the rivers
tributary to the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, at nearly the same time Is
likely in the lower part of the valley
that is. Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas,
Tessessee. Mississippi ana Louisiana
to reach a higher point along the IeVees
than it has ever reached Wlthln recent
memories and that there is very grave
under this unusual pressure and that
great damage may be done to property
in the states mentioned, requiring, un-
less prompt action is taken, great
future outlay in preserving proper
navigation of the stream
.sThose Ievees contribute not only
TO the safety of the adjoining agricu1-
t11raI land and settlements, but are
also part of the great governmental
project for the maintenance of naviga-
ton in the lower waters of the Mis-
sissippi.
..It seems proper. therefore, that the
take immediate action to
make the loss impending as little as
possible. In view of the character
of the emergency and the safeguards
the expenditures made un-
der the corps of engineers, I have no
hesitation in asking for an appropria-
tfon of $780, 600 as recommended by the
secretary of war.
II urgently recommend an immediate
a appropriation so that no time may be
lost in taking the necessary steps to
prevent what, but for governmental
action, may be a loss not only of many
millions but of lives as well.

The Clerk Won.

Last week Judge Cooper heard the case of Edward L. Mix, Clerk of the Superior Court of Santa Cruz County, vs. the Board of Supervisors, and decided the issue in favor of the clerk. The board of supervisors, under the constitu- tiOn had fixed the salary of the clerk at $150000 per annum. The legislature made it $1200.00. The court held that the cut could not take effect during the term of an incumbent, but must become effective for the succeeding term,
 There is one peculiarity about the salary law as enacted by the legislature. It made the salary of the clerk of the court in Santa Cruz county $120000 per annum, but in Pinal, a smaller county, with less taxable property and less population, classed below, it fixed the compensation of the like office at $1S0000 per annum, with a salary for a deputy, allowing nothing for deputy here.
 The legislature served the sheriff the same way. In Pinal that official is given salary of $2500.0C per annum. In Santa Cruz the salary is fixed at $1800.00. The county board had fixed it at $250000. Of course Judge Cooper's ruling in the clerks case will follow In the sheriff's office.
 But why did the legislature make

The Lien Law.
Arizona Democrat.l

To the Editor:
 Referring to the statement of Representative Jacobs of Maricopa county, published in your issue of August 1st, relative to the Miners Lien law, as a miner and laborer in mines for over thirty years, l will say, the gentleman is either misinformed or not informed at all. To say the least, there is "Nigger in the woodpile."
 Certainly the honorable gentle man who supported this law could not have understood its hidden in- tent and purpose. l speak in the interest alone of the miner and the laborer in and around mines.
 Mir. Jacobs says: "Now, as far as this bill is concerned, it is sim ply whether the laborer shall re-. ceive pay for his labor or not"
 Great gunsI What statement, Show me the miner who would take the property abandoned by the man he is working for, instead of a months pay. Or suppose he did file lien and one hundred of his fellow miners did the same, he would be certain of one hundred partners, and who in h-l wants a hundred partners? And the orig inal owner of the property stands by and sees his property, for which he has struggled and suffered to hold, perhaps ten to thirty years, and in which he alone still has an abiding faith, pass from him, and himself powerless to redeem it. Furthermore in the opinion of the writer, this law is unconstitutional for the reason that a mining claim is not legal tender for labor or fol any other debt. It is not cash. Il is no gilt-edge security in any sense of the word, and yet the supporters of this law would com pei the miner and laborer to accept this as pay. Talk about wild cattingl

rlendous project that may be in-
agined The idea OF running a rail
road bodily out to sea was thought
by almost everybody. except Mr. Flag
ler to be chimerical, but he was con-
fident that his scheme was practic-
able. and he was willing to back il
with his money and his reputation.
For a time the project did seem 10
be bit shaky. There were entirely
new problems that had to be met and
worked out.
Constructors were pretty sure of
their calculations when they in
volved building railroad on land,
or across swamp, or across a river.
but when il was matter of running
the tracks right out where the winds
blow hardest and the waves run high

But the engineers and the contrac-
tors and the guiding genius mixed

brains. with the result that they have
produced stretch OF track that can-

to it is the wondeful Salton shortcut,
across Salt Lake, that was built by
the late E. H. Hartman. While the
Hartman project presented difficult
ties that puzzled the experts, it had
