VAN AND HIS VISIONS

SILLY Twaddle is no argu-
ment," says the Williams News,
then with its usual consistency
goes on in vain attempt to prove
that it really is. The News editor
saws that force of habit some
times reveals dispositions 1t
does. Pipe dreams in one town
will follow into another and the
habit continuous to grow until
more pipes are necessary. 1t
accomplishes as much in one place
as in another-all smoke. We
were burned glad he mentioned
that seat in the United States
Senate. Few people up this way,
or down that way for that matter,
knew of this vaulIing ambition on
our part, and, now there are Just
as many people convinced of it as
they were before. If any one puts
any tacks in that seat there sure
will be trouble. The editor Of the
Sun has a general reputation Of
doing things for hire" so what's
the use of intimating pleasant
things like that?
AS a sample of hard, honest
facts used by the News we find in
an adjacent column the statement
that Eastern Coconino county
gets one cent less on tax rate than
West end" An intimation that
the supervisors of the county are
making Williams pay one cent
more than Flagstaff on their total
valuation.
The average reader might get
the idea that this was discrimi-
nation-that was the undoubted
intention, but in small type, the
editor adds; 1.-Two cents was
allowed tor manual training in
Williams and one cent in Flag
staff" This is honestly on par
with the rest of such Junk. The
News knows that each school dis
trict makes its own request for
the levy needed to run its schools,
The trustees at Williams are re-
sponsible for the two cent levy in
the Williams district and it goes
to them for their own use.
The supervisors are accused Of
not doing their duty in the matter
of assessments and consequently
the county is too large for one
assessor to handle. If the county
was cut up on the lines demanded
by the few agitators at Williams,
leaving all north of the Grand
Canyon for Coconino county to
attend to it, would certainly help
matters relative to the size of the
county, wouldn't it2 No indeed,
it couldn't possible raise taxes if
there were two sets of officers, two
court houses and two sets of ex-
pense accounts when there is now
only one? Raise the valuations,
that would help a heap. Sure
that would reduce the rate even if
the people did have to pay more.
The utter RIGHTEOUSNESS of the
proposition has commenced to
sink in, and the people who have
to pay the freight are becoming
thoroughly informed as to the
shallow little scheme of few
would be Office holders and ex-
ploiters. A clique that could
spend tax payers money easily.
There was reason for a division
of Yavapai county, because the
county seat was over 100 miles
away. The bulk of population is
now in Flagstaff and Williams
with Williams only 81 miles away.
Again the so-called argument is
without reason or point except
We want il.

on, thus providing a needed means Of
giving more convicts outdoor en-
ployment. 1t is reported that during
the last two years the prison author.
tiles have acquired additional water
rights by purchase. The purchase of
more water rights increase the value
of the land and would enable the
board to employ larger number Of
convicts in the cultivation of the soil,
an employment that works wonders
in the regeneration of the convict.
Need Of a manual training depart.
ment at the State prison is pointed
out and the legislature Is asked to
consider the advisability Of creating
the department at once. On this
point the report says:
Many of the convicts cannot be
employed upon the public roads, and
under the laws Of our state we are
limited to certain kinds OF work that
makes 1t difficult II not impossible to
keep them employed within the con.
fines OF the prison. During the win
ter, they cannot all be engaged on
outside work. We realize that much
OF the viciousness of prison life
comes by reason Of the convicts be-
ing unemployed, and We are of the
opinion that the state should give to
those who desire an education, an OPP
portunity for educational instruction
and a certain class should be given
instruction In manual training. which
would provide them with the means
of obtaining an honorable livelihood
when released from the institution.
The moral uplift and general eff.
feet upon the prisoners of such en-
ployment would We believe, justify
liberal appropriation for such pur-
poses.
Many of the states that lead in re.
formatory work in penal institutions
have, through adopting such meth
. DDS, accomplished splendid results
and report that the effect upon the
prisoners and the benefit to the state
at large have justified the expendi-
ture.
The board asks for total appro-
priation of $217,545, of which $751;
545 is for maintenance for two years
to come at a per capita cost OF 551s
cents per day; $4,000 for gratuities
to discharged prisoners; $500 for an
ice plant; $4,000 for a woman's
ward; $500 for milk house; $500
for fruit trees; $4,000 for extension
OF water pipe line from present in
take to Parley's canyon, a distance Of
two miles; $4,000 for convict labor
on state roads, and $4,000 for pur-
chasing additional water supply and
cultivation Of prison land.

ELECTRIC CHAIR
FOR MURDERERS
State Board Of Corrections includes
Recommendation In Annual
Report

Repeal OF the present method of
infiicting the death penalty by hang.
ing, or shooting, and the substitution
Of the electric chair, is urged by the
state board of corrections, in its bi.
ennial report filed with Governor
Spry last Friday, From its investiga.
tions the board declares 1t is salts.
fled that electrocution Is the most
modern and the best method of In.
fiicting the death penalty.
The board also recommends the
consolidation of the state prison,
state industrial school and state men,
tai hospital under one general board
OF control. Under such supervision
public offenders could be properly
segregated and classified much to
the advantage of the various institu-
tons and to the great benefit of the
inmates, 1t is held. Under the pres.
ent system, first offenders and those
with no innate criminal tendencies
are allowed to mingle with the vi
cious and habitual criminals, with
dire results, it Is pointed out. On
this matter the report says:
Under a general board of control
there would be no conflict In the pol
icies OF the various institutions, a
splendid graduation and classification
could be made which would prove ex-
ceedingly beneficial to each institu-
ton. From an economic view point
1t would result in great saving to the
state financially in the purchase of
supplies and the general expense Of
operating the various institutions"
Convict Labor Approved
Convict labor, says the report, au-
thorized under the enactment of the
last legislature, has resulted In vast
Improvement of the convicts, both
morally and physically and the bene.
fits accruing to the state through the
betterment Of roads has in itself more
than justified the appropriations
made for that purpose. 1t is recon-
mended that the legislature approp-
rate $4,000 this year to defray the
expense OF additional equipment so
that a larger number OF convicts can
be put at work building roads.
The board asks for an appropria-
ton Of $4,000, with which to cult
vate the land owned by the state pris.

PROPOSES GOVERNMENT
LOANS ON FARM LANDS
Bill Introduced In Congress to Pro-
vide New System Of Rural
Credits

Washington, Jan. 4.-Government
loans on farm mortgages at low inter-
est rates were proposed in a bill to-
day by Representative Bathrick of
Ohio. The plan outlined Is to attain
the same object as the rural cred
its" system proposed by President
Taft.
The bill would provide for the es-
tablishment Of bureau of farm
loans in the treasury department,
with loan commissioner appointed
by the President. The secretary of
the treasury would be authorized to
raise funds for loaning to bona fide
tillers Of the soil" on farm mortgages
by the issue of government bonds at
not to exceed 4 per cent interest
The loans would be made in farms
on which at least one-half be under
cultivation.
Applications for loans would be
made to the commission, who would
certify to value of the property 20 DE
ascertained by the owner and apprals-
ers, appointed by the commissioner
to the secretary of the treasury, who
would loan not to exceed 60 per cent
of the value Of the land on a mort
gage made out to the secretary of
the treasury at not more than 1-2
per cent interest.
The bill would exempt both mort
cages and bonds issued under the
act from taxation and proposes an
appropriation of 100000 for the in.
stallation of the plan.

WANTS DUCK SEASON
TO OPEN EARLIER
Sportsmen viii Ask Legislature For
Changes In Fish and
Game Law

Changes in the game and fish laws
of the state will be asked Of the leg
islature when 1t meets January 10,
according to plans now under way.
A meeting Of sportsmen Of the state
has been called for Wednesday even
ing to take concerted action on the
changes to pc requested.
The meeting will be held at the
Western Arms company's stores and
all sportsmen are invited to attend.
It Is proposed to outline the amend
ments thought advisable and to APP
point a committee to present the re-
quests to the legislature Early in the
session
The most important modification of
the existing game regulations to be
asked will be change in the duck
season. The legislature will be re-
quested to make the open season be-
gin several months earlier than at
present. The sportsmen are convin.
ced that with shooting permissible
some weeks earlier than at present
the mysterious duck disease which
appears each spring can be stamped
out. With the earlier opening of the
season, the ducks will be scattered
over the state instead of overcrowd
ing certain sections and making II
easy for the epidemic to spread. The
fish and game commissioner and 9th
er authorities are said to favor an
early opening Of the season for this
reason.
Amendment of the fish law, giving
sportsmen the right to fish in all
streams is to be asked. At present
owners of ground adjacent to streams
may prohibit fishermen from fishing
the waters and the sportsmen claim
the right to fish all parts of a public
stream, providing no damage to prop
erty Is done.
Wednesdays meeting promises to
be largely attended.

QUESTION IS
ONE FOR STATE
Important Decision by utan officlais
Of Land Office Favors
Land Owner

Salt Lake City, Jan. Holding
that there Is grave doubt as to the
jurisdiction of the United States land
department in attempting to decide
upon the validity of a land grant
made by a state, officials of the To-
cal United States land office yester-
day devised the selection of land
made in California some time ago is
either fraudulent or illegal, and dis
missed the case. The decision is con-
sidered an important one. Unless an
appeal is made within thirty days
the decision will be transferred to
the United States land office In Wash
ington.
Complicated Case
The case begins with the applica-
ton of j. b. Clarke on August 10,
1898 for tract of land in California.
Clarke bought the land from the
state and filed a deed with the sur
veyor general of California conveying
his interest in the land to w. n.
Bush. Later Bush conveyed the land
to +. A. Hyde, Shortly afterward a
United States forest reserve was es-
tablished embracing the land in ques.
ton.
In April, 1900. Hyde conveyed the
land to the United States and receiv-
ed certificate emitting him to locate
forty acres of other unappropriated
government land. in exchange for the
piece included in the forest reserve
Myron d. Higbee of this state vas
constituted Hyde's attorney-in.fact to
select and sell land in Utah under
the certificate. Higbee selected the
southwest quarter of the northwest
quarter of section IL, township 33
south, range IS west, Salt Lake me.
ridian, in Utah, and conveyed 1t to
The Cedar Sheep association.
Gets Benefit Of Doubt
On December 16, 1909. a special
o6Sht vi the ldhu ohNe icpol ttu thc
selection illegal. Hyde made a reply
in the nature Of a general demurrer
plea to the jurisdiction of the Uni.
ted States land department, and a
verified denial Of tn, charges. The
gist of the charges, ccording to the
decision rendered yesterday Is the
allegation that the title to the first
tract in California was secured from
the state by fraudulent and corrupt
practices. Col. L. ID. r. Thompson
register and NJ. M. Kaign, receiver
of the local land office, who render
ed the decision hold that there IL
doubt concerning the Jurisdiction Of
the United States land Office in decid
ing whether the state claim was lille
gal or to question its validity aftel
a patent had been issued. They
therefore dismissed the case and di
rected that the selection of Higbe,
for Hyde be sustained.

Changes Of Climate.

A scientist who recently investigated
the causes of secular variations in tenn
peratgre at the earth's surface thinks
that they are more probably due to
changes In the amount of carbonic
acid in the atmosphere than to varia-
tons in the heat of the sun. If the
amount of carbonic acid that the air
now contains was diminished little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, 1t is stated,
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla.
cial period. On the other hand, an in.
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tbs present amount
would raise the mean temperature IS
degrees and renew the hot times Of
the Eocene epoch.
