TAINTED NEWS

The American public is fast get.
ting wise" to the fact that the news
brought by the press dispatches is
often distorted in a way hostile to
progress. There have been several
glaring examples of late of perverted
news about woman suffrage.
Pasadena has just had an election
on the liquor question. The press
dispatches reported that the town
went wet, and that the women fairly
tumbled over one another to vote
for liquor. The fact is that Pasa-
dena has had a strict temperance
ordinance for 20 years, and at the
recent election it adopted a still
stricter one fCitizens' Amendment
No. 1O). A third ordinance pro-
posed mo. III, whice was so drastic
as to be considered wholly impractic-
able, was defeated. We have these
facts direct from our good friend,
j. H. Braly of Pasadena, himself a
temperance man. He says he voted
for No. 10, his wife for No. II, and
he adds: More women than men
are registered as voters in Pasa-
dena, and more women than men
voted for absolute prohibition"
Another recent dispatch from
California bears all the earmarks of
having been drawn up in the office
of the Anti-suffrage Association.
1t says that most of the women did
not vote at the presidential primaries
lat the presidential primaries in
Massachusetts only third of the
men voted; that the register in
San Francisco predicts that only
few more women will register be-
tween now and November which no
one can know anything about; that
the California suffragists are dis
couraged, which we know to be
lie; and that during, the campaign
for the suffrage amendent more wo-
men expressed themselves against
than for it--a monstrous falsehood,
to which no one in California with a
reputation to lose would put his
name. r..... ...

UP TO THE BOARD

The supervisors meet next Mon
day as board of equalization and
they have lot of very important
work before them, work that the
people have a right to expect to be
carefully attended to.
The tax commission ordered As
SCISSOR Phillips to raise the valuation
on land 40 per cent. This the as
SCISSOR refused to do unless the same
raise was placed on other property,
claiming that he had assessed all
property on an equal basis. Upon
consultation with the District Attor-
ney the assessor concluded to comply
with the order of thetax commits
sion. as he was advised that if he did
not the commission had the power
to send him to Jail.
1t isnow up to the board to equal
ize this tax. All other property
should be raised 40 per cent or land
should be reduced so as to be equal
with other property. 1t is very
delicate piece of work to handle, but
we are confident that the present
board will handle the situation salts
factorially.
The assessor of Yavapi county has
increased the valuation of his county
$1,000, 900. He increased mining
property 300 per cent, while farm
lands were increased 20 per cent
There had been this difference in
previous assessments.

the State more than half the farms
are irrigated, in three the proper
tion is between 49 and so per cent.
In the remaining counties Apache,
Navajo and Coconino- less than
one-fourth of the farms are irri-
gated. These latter counties are in
the northerneastern portion of the
State, where large percentage of
the farms reported are cattle ranch
es, on which the raising of crops is
of secondary Importance. Pinal
county shows the largest proportion
of irrigated farms, 92.S per cent,
and Graham county the next largest,
S6.1 per cent.
From 1899 to 1909 the increase
in the number of irrigated farms in
Arizona, outside of those supplied
by Indian Service enterprises, was
1913 per cent. This percentage of
increase was exceeded in five coun.
ties, all but one of which are in the
southern part of the State, the
highest rates of gain being 1872 5
per cent in Cochise county, 110 per
cent in Yuma county and GAL per

Ends Hunt for Rich Girl

Often the hunt for rich wife
ends when the man meets woman
that uses Electric Bitters. Her
strong nerves tell in bright brain
and even temper. Her peach-bloom
complexion and ruby lips result
from her pure blood; her bright eyes
from restful sleep; her elastic step
from firm, free muscles, all telling
of the health and strength Electric

cilably conflicts with a specific and
definite one, the latter prevails, be-
cause more certain and satisfactory.
Besides all this there appears to
be an impossible obstacle in the
road recommended by the Gazette.
All the courts and judges in Arizona
are disqualified to try the constitu-
tional point thus raised, because
each Judge is interested in the re-
suit to the extent Of two years salary.
The last two sections above cited
make the official term of all the
judges coterminous with that of the
governor. What court then can try
it?
There are other respectable rea-
sons why no true democrat can OPP
pose the election.
1t was the frequently expressed
intention of all the men who framed
the constitution and of all who rati-
fled it that an election would be
held this fall. On this universal
understanding the first campaign
was fought. Governor Hunt has
repeatedly since taking office de-
clared for the election, only asking
legislative concurrence and direction.
The legislature has accordingly
come through" and the bill is law.
The Democratic Central Committee
had already declared emphatically
for the election, giving unanswer-
able reasons in it's favor.
All political parties and practical
ly all the voters jim Arizona demand
a general election next November.
We therefore feel justified in saying
that the man, especially the demo-
crat, who openly opposes it is there
by preparing his own political grave
and epitaph.

PROGRESS OF IRRIGATION

Arizona" says the Census Bulle
tin, is divided into two sections of
widely different topographic and
climatic characteristics. The north
ern and northeastern parts form a
plateau, broken by mountains of
high altitude, while the southern
and southwestern parts consist of
broad desert plains, broken by near
ly parallel mountain ranges, and
traversed by the Salt and Gila rivers,
which supply the greater part of the
water used for irrigarion in the
State. In the western half of Ari.
zona the annual precipitation ranges
from | to 10 inches and in the east :
ern half from 10 to 25 inches. Irr;-
cation is necessary to the growth Of
crops in the low valleys, but on the
higher plains some crops are grown
without it.
According to the figures irriga-
ton was practiced on slightly more
than one-half (52 s per cent? of the
farms in Arizona in 1909. In 1899
the proportion of irrigated farms
among those outside of Indian res
ervations was 1873 per cent, while
in 1889 it was 75.4 per cent.

WHY NOT AN ELECTION?

In its issue of June 18th, the
Phoenix Gazette has a queer editor
ial attempting to show that the con
stitution prohibits general election
in Arizona this year, citing only
Sec. IL Of Art. VII in support of
its position. This provision simply
declares the rule of biennial elec-
iions, beginning not later than the
first even year after admission. 1t
does not say or mean that general
election shall not be held before.
But the constitution has very de-
finate and mandatory provisions to
the contrary on this matter, such
as Sec. OF Art. V. Secs. 3 and of
Art. VII. We believe it is a general
rule of construction that where a
general or vague provision irrecon-
