DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE
 CHAMP CLARK CLUB

The democrats of Williams have woke up and are getting busy for the coming presidential campaign. A Champ Clark club has been or ganized, with a good membership. At the initial meeting of the club the following resolution was unan- imously adopted:
 Whereas, The State of Arizona will cast it's maiden vote in the Electoral College of the United States of America at the forthcom- ing national election, after having demanded that high privilege of congress for the past generation and,
 Whereas, We are, and always shall be, grateful to the few men ir public life who have at all times and in all places recognized and consistently advocated the rights of Arizona to the full privileges of a sovereign state; and,
 Whereas, We know that the Hon Champ Clark. of the State of Mis- souri, has ever been one of the ablest, one of the most jealous, as well as one of the most loyal friends the new State of Arizona has ever had; and,
 Whereas, We believe the Hon Champ Clark to be one of the brightest, truest and ablest states ] men today in the public life O America; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, whose names are herewith subscribed. associate lourselves together for the purpose of forming the Champ Clark Cut of Williams, Arizona" and that VI use every honorable means in ou power to secure the nomination ant
 election of the Hon Champ Clarl
 as president of the United State Iof America.

PUBLIC
 SCHOOL NOTES

We regret to state that as yet the school board has not received the plans and specifications from the architect. They hoped to put the notice for bids in this issne, but will have to submit to another weeks delay. We understand that there are several contractors anxious to figure on the building, and it wouldn't be surprising to see some bids come in from the southern part of the state. The contractors there are anxious at all times to escape the oppressive heat of the summer months by locating in this section. It is useless for us to cay anything about our summer climate here, as the whole conti- nent knows there is no place that equals it.
 With the present outlook there will not be much done at the new building unti.. the latter part of March. Granting this beginning, the contractors will have over five months to complete the work in time for the next school term. v School was closed on Thursday, Washington's birthday.
 Last Friday closed the sixth month of our echool. with an aver
 age daily attendance of 164. This is fifteen above the general average for last year and three above our general average for this year up to the fire. So it is evident that the school is still in safe condition and if the disturbing elemen, doesn't get in it's work pretty soon our school this year will'be record breaker. Of course we know that there are few people in every town that like to knock, whether they have knock coming or not
 and generally the ones who have jthe least cause do the hardest
 knocking, and if they can't find something real to knock about they Iimagine something and start ths
 knock and tell knockers to knock
 But we are frank to say that we be
 lieve with the momentum tha the school has thls year the knt ok
 er if he begins to knock will ge | knocked harder than the sohoo gets knocked. So when you hea
 or imagine 8 rumor that is a detri ment to our public school be sur
 that you give the author, and i | you imagine it give yourself as au thor, so that all the quiet, peacea hl , citizens can knock the right knock , CT. But if you think their is on
 grain of truth in the rumor go a , once to Prof. Cureton ard do you , knocking and give him chance t , knock the one that deserves knock ling. **.,,

There is always something sure to develop in the prolonged discus sion of any public measure calcu- lated to disturb the disabilities of our nature, and it did not take long for the product of the cap and bells to make it's appearance in the ma tier of county division.
 The newly developed friends of Arizona's constitution are going to put the bee of referendum upon usl Tn other words, the eastern end of Coconino county, alone, is going to annul, through the referendum, an act of the state legislature.
 Officer, he's in again"
Williams news., 1912-02-24

But, who are the people in the eastern portion of Coconino county that by advancing the foregoing argument have suddenly discovei ed the virtues of Arizona's new con stitution as means of reducing taxation? Who are the people that now threaten to invoke the referendum-laugha ble as the prop osition may appear-should the legislature pass an act dividing the county? Are they gentlemen who one year since walked to the polls and cast their votes in favor of that progressive instruments rati
 fication, or were they of tbat num-
 Der who needed the Washington telegram's advise. and smote. it hip and thigh2 And there were many such-in the east end.
 However, as citizens of Williams, justly birding ourselves upon the distinction of having cast the larg- est vote in proportion to popula.
 ton of any town in Arizona for the
 constitution's ratification, we are gratified to no'e the increasing popularity of that instruments l.'radicalism" where we least had
 cause to expect it.

NEWSY NOTES OF
 COUNTY DIVISION

Tie array of facts relative to the excessive cost of Coconino county's administration, excessive, as has been explained. principally because of the county's vast area and nat. ural conditions, have at last pro duced a responsive argument from the opponents of county division We are now asked to direct our en- tranced vision to future reduction of the present tax rate, and are as sured by those who are opposed to dividing the county that, now that we are state, and AriZona's lew constitution is in operation, we will now derive some adequate revenue in the form of taxation, from the railroads, and that great reduc tion in the imminent future of the present rate is absolutely assured
 There is one beautiful feature of this argument-it is absolutely true as the Gospel. Yet it forms one of the strongest arguments possible ix favor of county division-one. in point of fact. we have been reserv. | ing for future occasion.
 In the due course of time state government, the new constitution and just and reasonable taxation of railroad property certainly will produce reduction in taxation
 but it certainly can not, and it cei tainly will not, reduce it in the eastern end of Coconino county alone. The benefcent laws of the new state of Arizona, strange as il may secm, fall alike upon the just land the unjust, the goats as well af lkhe sheep, and if the western DOT ltion of Cocontno county possesses
 the necessary population and as. sessa ble property to constitute g
 new county, and can conduct its county government upon the pres
 ent rate-facts we shall abund
 antly prove at the proper time and
 place-the new county certainly
 would also receive whatever new
 benefits in the form of additiona
 revenue that may accrue from future
 sources.
