yers of the highest standing declared there should be an election under the constitution.
 And it is a rather peculiar fact that a great many people, men of all shades of political belief who appar- ently took little interest in the matter before the supreme courts decision was announced. are now giving vent to the strongest expressions of dis approval. It is apparent to the most casual observer that there was an almost universal belief that there would be an election: and now that the contrary has been decided there is a pretty general feeling on the part of the voters that they have been tricked by somebody. Not by the court. but by the men who have engineered the political policy of the democratic party from the beginning.
 And there are a few who are gO ing to the extreme. These men are talking about recall election. Against just whom it would be di- rected in the event such an election were demanded is hard to discover. But that there is such talk any one can easily discover.
 And with it all it is natural the courts decision is receiving a good deal of unfavorabke comment One of the most striking utterances is by

of the democratic party was pledged to the enactment of such a law.
 And in enumerating the subjects on which the legislature was to eXpend
 it's efforts, the governor again called attention to the necessity of enacting this legislation.
 It will be recalled that a bill was
 proposed in the senate providing for an election in accordance with the
 provisions of the constitution. That
 bill was favored by several members of the house. sam E. Bradner, the speaker, is one of the men in that body who favored it. But it was sidetracled for the purpose of letting the Saxon bill go through.
 And, with respect to the election bill, there are a good many who say | it was simply put up to be knocked down. But the larger number hold l to the belief that there is in fact a | conflict in the constitution and that | it was well within the province of q | court to say there should an election Whether this is or is not the cor 1 rect view the fact remains that law

 If any member of the constitu- tional convention knew the contrary he was absolutely silent on the sub ject That is, he was silent during the campaign After the election a whole host of politicians discovered that the constitution absolutely for bade it.
 George ". P. Hunt, the governor of the state, was president of the convention that wrote the constitu- ton.
 When he issued his proclamation calling the legislature to meet March IS last he told the legislature one of their duties was to provide for an election the coming fall.
 There are T good many people who think that was not exactly a Hunt pronunciamento and they believe the governor had his fingers crossed when he issued it. But il is in the proc lamation.

 WATERMELONS WERE APPRE-
 GATED A. c. Smith. manager of the Arizona Grocery company, pre- scented The Republican with two
 large watermelons of extra fine quality. The Republican has some
 expert judges of fine melons and.
 although they are novices at the art.
 they feel justified in saving that these melons were the finest they had eaten this season. As reporter happened t. be present at the slaughtering of these "fatted fruits" he was allowed to sample one of the plugs and he declared that they were sweet enough to taste like more. Mr. Smith has seven acres of these excellent melons just south of the city and he says the finest ones are not quite grown yet CAUSED MUCH ANxIETY-Char- ] lie Keezer, who rides the delivery mo- | torcycle for the owl drug store, was | stranded out near Scotsdale Tuesday

convention was that the first set of
 officers should be chosen for the short term; and" said the judge, If
 there were to be any move for
 long term, I would myself take the
 stump against it.
 That was the view taken by Judge
 Baker It really does not seem to
 square with the view now expressed
 by some of the office holding class,
 that no one ever thought of an cleo
 tiOn in the fall of 1912. But it was not until after the cleo ton that the intent of the democrats was sprung.
 And here is the most stupendous fact of the whole business. The constitution for the state of Arizona was finished on the ninth day of December, 1910 The first election was held the twelfth day of December, 1911. That was one year and three days after the adoption of the cOnstitu 1 tion-the constitution that contains i the provisions relative to the holding 1 of elections.
 1 It was not until after the election,
 that is, it was not for more than a year after the completion of the con i stitution, that anybody ever discOV- l cred that it forbade an election in
 the fall of 1912.
 i And this occurred despite the fact
 that the constitution was printed in i full in a Phoenix newspaper and given general circulation | It occurred in spite of the fact that | the constitution was printed in pamphlet form and scattered broad cast all over the state.
 It occurred in spite of the fact that
 a ratification election was held in | February, 1911, and that preceding | that election the provisions of the constitution were discussed by the people everywhere.
 In spite of all the reading and all the discussion. in spite of the fact that the constitution was subjected to the closest scrutiny by lawyers and others, nobody discovered that it for bade an election the coming fall.
 The candidates for office said there would be an election-they went be- q fore the electorate on that prOposi- tion.
 Men who sat in the constitutional convention said the understanding U was that there should be such elec-

Tick Eradication

A systemized campaign will be
carried on in Boone county this sea-

tick. The method used will be the
concrete dipping vat and the stand.

ping vat has proven itself to be not
only very effective and economical,
but also a very satisfactory means
for handling cattle in disinircting
them,
These vats will be located in the
various tick infested localities Of the
county, and as they will all have to
be constructed before extreme warm
weather sets in, it is earnestly hoped
that farmers and stock men in the
different localities will give this their
immediate attention, and formulate
plans for the vats in their section,

Good Roads

Some poet is calling the attention
Of the good roads promoters to the
fact that Caesar was the first adyo,
cate Of good roads, and that
through his foresight in making
Rome accessible to the outlying pre-.
cincts Of his domain he made Rome
prosperous. Here is his poem;
"Whcn Caesar took an eastward
ride and grabbed the Gaus lol
Rome, what was the first thing that
he did to make them feel at home;
Did he increase the peoples load;
and liberty forbid; No, he dug in
and built Good Roads that's what
old Caesar did,
"Did Cesar put the iron heel upon
the tocmcn'S breast. or did he try tc
make them feel that Roman rul,
was best What did he do TO make
them glad he'd come their midst
aWid; He built Good Roads in place
If bad-that's what old Cesar did
"llc built Good Roads from hill to
hill, Good Roads from vale to vale
he ran a Good Roads movement Til
old Rome got all the kalc, He told
the folks to buy at home, build roads
their hills amid, until all roads LED
into Rome-thats what old CTsol
did.
"lf any town would make thC
town the center of the map, whcr,
folk will come and settle down ant
live in plenty's lap, If any town its
own obodes Of poverty would rid
let it get out and build Good Road,
Just like old Cesar did"

Our Horticultural Society.

Some reasons for wanting our
school teachers and pupils in our
Horticultural Society;
Ever since commercial fruit grow
ing began, one Of the greatest prob
lens before the grower has been,
how will the crops be prepared for
market Where can competent
pickers be obtained This one prob
lem has driven many otherwise sue
cess(ul growers from the business
and prevented many competent per-
sons from entering the business.
In the large fruit growing sections
Of the West, harvest time was and
in some sections is yet a season Of
overwork, worry, annoyance, con-
fusion and unavoidable waste. To
save the crop it was often necessary
to obtain all available help from
any source, loatcrs from towns and
cities, tramps from the country, and
to ship in carloads Of McXicans,
Indians, Negros and lower class
foreigners including Chinese These
people brought their vices, drunk
cnncss, drug habits, gambling, steal
ing and numbering, Nermin and
contagious diseases were often scat
tered The better class Of workers
dreaded and often refused to mingle
with the lower class, Outbreaks Of
violence were frequent, a previous
" peaceful and moral community
was quickly changed to confusion
and discord where property and
often life was in danger, A few
years ago some California growers
started a reform. The Superintend-
cntS OF several schools and the
State Superintendent OF Public In.
