THREE-CENT LAW STOPPED

There will be no three cent
railway law in effect in Arizona
at least until after the next gen.
eral election in November, 1914.
This has been made certain by
the filing of 3, 406 names in a ref
erendum petition against the
three-cent law. This number is
more than sufficient to hold up
the law till after the election as
only 1,081 names were needed.
The names attached to the peti-
ton came from every county in
the state except Coconino, Apa-
che, Mohave, and Navajo. Ariz-

FEDERAL AID FOR RAN
CHER AND FARMER.

A campaign has been launched
in this country for an improved
Marketing and Rural Credit sy S.
tenn. The farms in the United
States are held under a mortgage
debt Of nearly two billion dollars,
which falls due within the next
three to five years, and which
cannot be paid within that time.
Its size will probably be increas-
ed by renewals and extra costs.
In Europe this debt would not
worry the farmers, for it would
be carried as long time loans, to
be paid by easy annual INSTALL
ments that would care for the in
terest and principle, without
working an undue hardship upon
the farmer.
The finding of some practical
means of enabling the Govern
ment to assist the farmers of
this country to get from under
this heavy burden of debt has
been undertaken by the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. A Rural Organization Ser
vice, under the leadership of
Prof. Thomas N. Carver has
been established in the Depart
ment. Some system that will
undoubtedly benefit the Rural
Population of the nation may be
expected from the efforts of this

THIS TOWN NEEDS RAIN.

1t takes a normal amount of
rain each year to grow the crops.
This normal rainfall is we'll
known. In consequence tn e
weather bureau issues bulletins
showing the precipitation and ex-
cess or deficiency of moisture.
1t takes a normal amount of
boosting and public spirit to keep
a town from drying up. If a
bulletin were issued showing
what you have done to patronize,
to boost and to help this town,
where would your name appear?
In the excess or in the deficiency
of the column? Are you precipi-
tating normal amount of home
pride and local enthusiasm?
The propositions differ In two
important particulars: First you
can't have an excess of home
pride. Second, if there is a de-
ficiency, you can correct it.
Efforts to make rain when the
country needs rain have never
been very successful. But it
ought to be easy for you to re-
alize that you are not doing quite
enough for this town and for
this towns present and future
and to get out of the deficiency
column and onto the honor roll.

SEC. LANE TO AID RECLA-
NATION PROJECTS.

Secretary Lane has approved an
amendment to the regulation un-
der the reclamation act designed
to aid entrymen and land owners
in reclamation projects in secur-
ing loans for the improvement of
their farms as we'll as to add secur-
ity to mortgages given in such
loans.
BY the terms of the amendment,
after water right applications
have been filed for privately
owned lands in reclamation pro-
ject, mortgages of such lands may
file with the local land office and
with the project manager of the
reclamation service a notice of
their interest. Thereafter they
well receive noticie of any default
in the payment of water right
charges. That will enable them
to prevent the loss of security
through failure to make payment.
