NEWSPAPER keepers of the demo- cratic conscience CD in Arizona, are engaged in prodding the legis- lature because it has accomplished so little in the month which has elapsed since the session com menced, the constitutional time limit half way reached. A special session is something they seem to dread. Yet one was inevitable when but sixty days were given in the constitution to set going the machinery of the new state. Under new constitution in any state, whether recently admitted or one of the original thirteen, the first legislature has more to do always than any two of it's successors, and should be given more time, which is done usually.

"AS HE KNEW THEM"

Goodwin's Weekly, published in Salt Like City, has been running each week for several months a series of articles by it's veteran editor Judge c. c. Goodwin, entit- led "As I Knew Them" which is a series of short biographical sket- ches of many of that band of brilliant men in all walks of life, who gave force and vitality to or ganized society in the virgin states of California and Nevada, in the halcyon days that began with the rush for goldin 49 and ended with. the completion of the first Pacific railroad, or within ten years there after.
 Judge Goodwin was one of the Argonauts himself, and while now an octogenarian. his mind is as keen and his intellect as hearty and vigorous as when he was in his thirties. He lived among and knew intimately scores and hun dreds of the brilliant men whose lives made the early history of California and Nevada. With a vivid recollection of their charac- ters and characteristics, a consum- mate master of the purest and most flexible English, he has pre- sented each week a most lifelike limning of the salient character istics of men whose names were household words in those states a generation ago, many of them na- tional figures. And those who knew them, as did TIE OASIS editor some of them, can almost see when read ing the articles of Judge Goodwin, the very men themselves.
 Now the recollections noted are to be presented in book form, and they are worthy of place in any library. To the student of history they will be found useful, to the reader of biography fascinating, and to the scholar, with an appre- citation of elegant English, they are a mine of wealth. No one should miss possession of the rare work here descrihed

IF you would know. the wealth of the
peninsula, look about you"
This is a translation of the words, Isl
Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam, Circum-
SPICE" engraved below the shield on the
great seal of the State of Michigan
Did YOU know that1
Michigan has ever been q wealthy state.
When it was still a territory the two penin-
sulas were rich in natural resources. Every
where wealth could be seen. There were
the great black forests, the magnificent
waterways, and the vast areas of fertile
lands awaiting but the plow of the husband
man.
Then, to know Michigan's wealth, 1t was
only necessary to look about you"
The treasures of that day have been
TRANSF o RME D into US e F U L
WEALTH by the filling of the soil Of many
rich farms, the operation of mines, tho
building Of factories and railroads.
The Protective policy of the REPUBLI-
CAN PARTY has made this transformation
of wealth possible. The protection afforded
the farmer and the industries has kept the
proud boast on the great seal.
The aggregate wealth of the state today
must be figured in billions. The assessed
valuation, only portion of the total actual
wealth of the state, is nearly TWO Bill
LION DOLLARS.
Now, it has never YET been necessary
to change Michigan's motto. But ONCE
in so years did it seem PROBABLE the
words would turn to empty jest. That was
in the days of ISoa-ISe6 under the tariff
policy of the Democratic party.
During the brief period following the rise
of the Democrats to power in national at
fairs, Prosperity was working on half time
at about half pay. The value of farm prop
erty alone in Michigan dropped over
FORTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
No trifing sum-
But the people soon returned the Repub-
lican party to power. What effect did Pro-
lection have on farm values1
According to the u. S. census of 1910,
the value of ALL Michigan farm property
increased, under Protection, in ten years
FOUR NDRED MILLION
d o L L A R S.
That's an increase of ST., per cent.
Due to other causes, you may say.
Strange, is il not, that farm property
values in this state should DROP from ap-
proximateiy s64s,ooo,ooo in 1890 to $685.,
100000 Immediately after the passage of the
Democratic tariff Then, 10 it not peculiar
that, with the REPEAL of the measure,
values should begin a STEADY RISE. In

And there were a,s4a MORE farms
MORTGAGED in the Democratic year of
1894 than in the Republican year of 1910.
Again seeking power, the Democratic
party NOW offers you the SAME tariff
policy it offered THEN. The tariff plank
of the Democratic platform of Isoa has been
nailed to the platform of 1919. 1t declares

When the FARMER is rich, the Ma
TON is rich Providence determines the
SIZE of the crop, of course, but only the
best economic conditions in the industrial
world can possibly make farm produce
VALUABLE. It 10 the protected working
mans demand and his ABILITY TO PAY
for the necessities of life that make the crops
worth harvesting.
And the farmer in Michigan IS prosper
GUS.
In Iooo-the last census report available
Ibis corn crop was worth nearly thirty
million dollars; hay thirty-six millions;
oats, eighteen millions: wheat sixteen mil
lions, and rye, four million dollars
Read those figures over again. They are
astounding.
The average value of farm land In this
state, per acre. has increased 1886 In the
past decade.
How closely the entire industrial life Of
the state responds to the changes in the
welfare of the farmer Is shown by the fact
that now, under Republican rule, there are
