The International American re-
marks that the new law rushed
through congress recently provid-
ing prohibition of the Importation
of any war material from the United
States to Mexico or any other Pan
American country, where there is
any revolt or disturbance, will prob
ably stop the Ell Paso howl for pro-
lection, especially among those who
have been supplying the revolution
lists in Mexico with guns and am
munition. This measure will do
more to promote peace in Mexico
than any other measure yet pro-
posed. During the Madero revolu-
ton the neutrality law was farce
and the revolutionists had no trouble
in getting all the arms and ammu
milton in this country that they had
the money to pay for. 1t will be
different now under the present
measure which prohibits the shipping
of war material to the country so
long as there is disturbance going

separate institution. created for the
same purpose. An initial endow-
ment of SIS 900, gradually increas-
ing with agricultural development
and high school facilities in the
State, will put the plan into oper-
alton. 81 Elementary work in
agriculture thus endowed, will pre-
pare students. without loss of time,
to take up advanced work in agri-
culture developed and offered by
the University College of Agricul-
ture.
For the maintenance and strength
ening of centralized University
we propose the continuation of the
existing organization of Agricultur-
al College, School of Mines and Ex-
pertinent Station within the Uni
versity, including all endowments
and grants of land designated to
them.
In brief, we submit, for your
thoughtful consideration and ap-
proval, two complementary and har-
monious ideas, covering the whole
field and including the interests of
the whole agricultural population

ditions. Work of this kind would
be sure to bring results, the kind
that will bring the Gila valley to
the front and bring about changes
that will be advantageous to the
farmer and business men.
What we need in this valley is ad-
vertising and when this is secured,
it will bring new people here, those
who are financially able to purchase
land and make farming a success;
people who are looking for better
climate to spend the winters and are
desirable in any community.
Commercial bodies all over the
State are busy boosting the advan-
tages of their particular locality,
yet tie Gila valley, the most beauti-
full of all, with better climate and
richer soil, is standing still, is in a
rut, is practically unknown. Why?
Because, we as a people. carry our
selfishness to a point where it is
proving disastrous. insofar as it
prevents, by want of advertising of
real conditions, the entrance of the
kind of people that would make the
valley better. Would start new en-
terprises, manufactures, that would
give employment to our sons, who
now have to seek other fields of
labor.
Let US start in now, at once, and
make the chamber of commerce a
success and bring our beautiful
valley into the public eye, and by
doing SO, bring success to our doors,

WILL FULFILL PLEDGES

There is every reason to believe
the Legislature will enact into law
the recommendations contained in
Gov. Hunts message, as read to the
joint assembly last Monday. If il
does every pledge made by the
Democrats, both as written in the
constitution, and as made during
the campaign, will have been fulfilled
The Governors message deals
with many subjects outside of elec-
ton pledges, and especitlly does he
lay stress upon the deplorable con-
dition of the State treasury, the de-
ficit that confronts the present ad-
ministration, and shows that this was
caused by the outgoing administra-
ton attempting to do Republican
politics by a reduction of taxes at
the time the expenditures were in
creasing.
The Governor points out way
for the Legislature to remedy this,
by passing laws for the proper as
sessment and equalization of pro-
perty furnishing the revenue for the
maintenance of the government, the
governor recommended wisely, for
if ever a farce was written it is our
present revenue laws.
The assessor is at the mercy of
the man with money enough to
fight his case in court, and the board
of equalization, as now constituted,
will be as powerless to enforce pro-
per equalization as under our Terri
torial system.
If the >Governor's recommenda.
ton to pass laws. so that the rich
will pay an equal tax with the poor,
then pass stringent usury law, SC
that the doors of the penitentiary
will stare the tax dodger in the
face, is made into law, our tax rate
can be cut one-half.

EARNED EDUCATION
Speaker Champ Clark is One
Of the Best Educated
Men in Congress

Speaker Champ Clark is one of
the best educated men in Congress.
His wonderfully stored mind is the
marvel of his colleagues. Few men
in public life have so wide knowl-
edge of history. literature, lam
guages and the sciences. The Speaker
does not parade his knowledge. but
when he talks, he can entertain his
listeners for hours. 1t makes no
difference what subject is suggested,
the Speaker can discuss it at length.
Champ Clark had to work for his
education. 1t was hard road he
travelled to success, but it was sure.
Like Lincoln, his thirst for knowl-
edge began early. His biography
in the Congressional Directory said
he was educated in the common
schools, the Kentucky University,
Bethany College and. the Cincinnati
Law School. In 1924 Mr.. Clark
was president of Marshall College,
West Virginia, and. for twenty-five
years held the record for being the
youngest college president in the
United States. His first college ex-
perience was in his home State, at
the Kentucky University. He had
to work his way through that college
by doing janitor work and perform
ing other duties He had no money
Ito spend and what books he read,
outside of the college text books,
were loaned him. With an insatiate
desire to get knowledge, he longed
to possess some books of his selec-
ton. Toward the end of his first
term at the Kentucky University,
Champ received the first remittance
from his father. 1t was $500, and
the elder Clark informed his boy
that he sent it to pay the boys
stage fare home. $500 was whole
lot of money to the young man.
He would have liked to do what
other boys did, and ride to his
home, but his love of books was so
strong that he decided he would
walk home, sixty miles. and spend
his $500 for ten volumes of poems.
So, with the books under his arm,
Champ set out on his journey home.
1t took him two days to cover the
sixty miles. When he got to his
fathers house, he had to get to
work, but he found time to read
the ten volumes of poems, This
was the beginning of his education.
Lafe Pence, who is one of Mr..
Clark's most ardent admirers, not
long ago was in Missouri, and was
told, by one of the Speakers friends,
the story of Clark's early struggles,
and he had, with his first $500,
bought books and walked home. a.
little while ago Mr.. Pence recited
the story to the Speaker, and asked
him if it were true. The big Mis-
sourian smiled, and said: Lafe, |
guess its about right, and have
got those books yet" Their CON
tents are stored away in the Speak
er's mind

ARIZONA'S cOLDEsT YEAR
Government Report on Arizona
Gives Weather Changes

The year 1911 was the coldest in
Arizona for the past fifteen years,
according to reporty just issued
by the Chronological service of the
United States Weather Bureau. The
annual temperatureof the State was
GIG degrees, which is l degree be.
low normal.
The year opened warm with Janu.
ary well above the normal for the
month, During the remaining
months the temperature averaged
about normal or below. with July,
November and December consider
ably above normal. During the
latter part Of December the entire
State experienced cold weather,
with killing frosts.
The latest killing frost occurred
July, 6, and the earliest frost of fall
September 6, both at Flagstaff.
The highest mean annual tempera-
ture was at Mohawk, between Tue
son and Yuma, "a 8 degrees, and
the lowest was AT at flagstaff.
The temperature extremes for
the year were 1870 degrees at Mo-
kawk July Is and August s. The

QUERY?

If man guarantees a note and
the maker becomes insolvent, pay
ment can be demanded of the guar
antor. Has this legal proposition
anything to do with the present
political situation? Mr.. Taft went
into the White House on the strength
of Mr.. Roosevelt's guaranty; Mr..
Roosevelt now wants to take Mr..
Taft's place does that mean that
Mr.. Taft is a political bankrupt?
And is this case whether payee-
the public - should demand the
pound of flesh and force Mr.. Roose-
welt to take the presidency himself?

PLAN SUGGESTED
By University Of Arizona fol
Agricultural Education
in Arizona

closely watchful of agricultural de-
velopment in the State. and of an
increasing demand for better and
more generally diffused knowledge
of the agriculture of the region.
Various departments Of the institu-
ton are, accordingly, devoted to the
investigation and the teaching of
agriculture, especially as applied to
Arizona.
The Experiment Station, which is
legally constituted part of the in
stitution, by means of its flexible
organization, carries on its expert
mental work in all parts of the State,
with Offices and laboratories con-
veniently and economically admins.
tered on the University grounds.
The agricultural college. another
department of the University, de-
votes itself to teaching courses in
agriculture, which include not only
such technical subjects as soils,
horticulture, dairying, and stock
judging; but also those courses in
English, mathematics and the sci
ences required as a part of any well
rounded education.
Farmers Institutes, endowed by
the State, are employed, further, to
carry the fruits of investigation to
the farmer himself, through lectures
given by those engaged in the study
of problems relating to the farmers
welfare. Ten thousand people were
reached in this way last year in all
parts of Arizona-in academies,
schoolhouses, churches, in the open
air, and in one instance under the
protecting shelter of railroad
water tank.
But we find, after years of
service conducted along these lines
that the hunger and need for ag-
ricultural instruction is not appeased
but only awakened; and that with
with an increasing rural population
of high order of intelligence, still
more efficient means must be devised
for reaching, ultimately. the whole
farming population of the State.
With this end in view the Uni
versity has devised a plan TO meet
the exigency. There are two fea-
lures to this plan First, to carry
the opportunity for class work in
agriculture into all the farming
districts of the State. Second, to
maintain and strengthen the CEN
tral University organization, with a
view to the efficiency and economy
which are possible only by this
means.
For the general extension of
agricultural teaching into all parts
of the State, we propose State
Endowment available for the teach
ing of elementary agriculture in all
high schools that qualify to receive
it. Such endowments, up to $2500
in amount. are in successful operation
in a number of Eastern States and
are particularly well fitted to the
needs of Arizona. The especial
merits of the plan with reference
to Arizona are several: Cd The
greatest possible number of students
is reached. at an impressionable age,
in their own agricultural environ
ment, and with least cost to them
selves. ~ The cost to the State

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The organization of chamber of
commerce is one of the best things
that could happen at this time in
Graham county, and the need of
strong organization to take care OF
the interests of the farmers. as well
as of the business men, is something
that has been apparent to everyone
for long time.
During the past few years several
organizations composed of the farm
ers of the valley and the business
men have been effected, only to end
in failure, chiefly because selfish in
terests predominated and the real
object of organization defeated.
This should not be the case now.
The organization of live chamber
of commerce which will get busy at
once and boost the many advantages
of our climate, farming lands and
irrigation projects, will have plenty
of work to do without making the
organization. the pet Of any individ-
ual or set of individuals, wEo would
use it to further their own purposes.
The time is ripe for our farmers
and business men to get together
and take care of their interests, and
this can best be done by organizing
a chamber of commerce that will be
broad in it's methods and working
all the time for betterments that
are greatly needed throughout the
valley.
In order to get all that is coming
from the best climatic conditions,
rich soil and perfect irrigation sys-
TENS, our farmers should grow more
crops, and their is no doubt but that
this can be done successfully.
Another betterment that needs
the special attention of chamber
of commerce is the making of good
roads throughout the valley, in con-
formity with the plans of the Ari-
zona Good Roads Association. There
is no doubt but that the transconti-
mental highway will come through
the Gila valley and we should be at
work now boosting and making good
roads through the valley.
There can be no better advertise
ment for any community than good
roads, especially in these days of
automobiles, when people from all
over the country take advantage of
motor cars to make trips that could
not otherwise be accomplished, and
travel into new territory.
The tourists travelling on the
main line of the Southern Pacific to
the California coast, comes from
FL Paso and passes through the des-
ert Of New Mexico and Arizona.
When they reach Bowie there is no
one to inform them of the beauti-
full valley only a short distance to
the north, II we had a chamber of
commerce there would be an effort
made to get this information in the
hands Of the tourists. There would
be literature on all the trains, with
description Of climate, soil, crops
raised, good roads and business con-
