Arizona to Sell State Land
In the fQes Of determined opposition

from the solons who believe the
Slate should indefinitely hold all lands
granted it by the nation, the Senate
has passed bill providing for imme-
diate sale Of 900, 900 acres Of land
donated by Congress specifically for
the purpose Of paying off debts con-
tracted by Maricopa, Pima, Santa
Cruz, iavapia and Conconino counties
for subsidies to railroads, several Of
which either never We're operated or
else were abandoned. This summary
sale has been strongly urged by the
Supervisors OF the counties affected,
who want to stop paying interest on
dead horses"
There being grave legal doubt con-
cerning the legality Of the 3-cent rail-
road fare bill passed by the Legisla-
ture and approved by referendum
vote Of the electors, the Legislature
again has passed the same measure,
shorn OF some OF its Objectionable fea-
ture5 and without an emergency
clause, thus giving the railroads time
n appeal to the Corporation Com
mission or the people.

that has been without country for
centuries will return TO the land Of Us
fathers.
That is the prediction Of Joseph
Cohn Of New York City. who came TO
Kansas City to give several addresses
concerning the work Of the Jews.
"The Jews are preparing plans to
restore the temple of Solomon" he
continued. 1.-THE whole world is be-
ing stirred by sudden and startling
movement OF the Jews toward their
home land Ten years ago there were
only one thousand Jews in the city OF
Jerusalem. There are now one hun
dred thousand within its walls. More
than two hundred thousand Jews are
found in colonies established in re-
cent years in the country OF Pelestin.
about Jerusalem. The colonies are
proving very successful. Good crops
are being raised where formerly all
was waste.
More than S20,000,000 is being in
vested in railroads. Within the next
few months Jerusalem will have be-
come a city Of electricity. Rails are
being laid for electric cars and inter-
urbans The Jews have s5,000,0O0 in
a Jerusalem bank. They have pur-
chased a large amount OF land near
the old mosque Of omar. They W.
| rebuild on that land the old temple
! of Solomon, with modern equipment
Until twenty years ago." the speak
or said, 1.-The land OF Palestine was dry
and arid. There were no rains. nc
crops and few Inhabitants. There j.
a prophecy which reads, " the las.
days will pour out upon you again
| the latter rains Rain has come in
abundance in the last few years. Je-
rusalem and Palestine again blooms for
the first time since Titus destroyed the
city. Several colonies Of Jews have
planted 10000 olive trees on the hills
of Samaria, fulfilling of another pro-
phecy.
Il firmly believe Jerusalem will be-
come as Of old the market place OF
| the orient. and that Palestine will again
be land flowing with milk and honey.
Electricity Is being used moro and
more. while the desert tracts are be-
ing reclaimed from the sand and de
bris of centuries. When water ha:
been placed on the Holy Land it will

majority Of the peopls have con.
fidence.
The board Is 1T present en-
gagged in an important work. l.
is important even though in a
negative sense. There has been
a cry among a few for an all
American canal. Previous esti-
mates of the cost of such a canal
have been in the neighborhood
|of twenty million dollars. The
board is now having data collect
ed by survey and borings to lay
before a board Of engineers to
determine accurately what the
canal and tunnels for this route
would cost.
It is believed this figure will
be between ten million and
twenty million dollars, imposing
an expense Of from fifteen to
thirty-five dollars an acre on the
land of the valley above the cost
on the present Mexican route.
While the Press believes it
would be highly desirable to
have an all-American route,
other things being equal, still it
does not believe that the people
| of the valley will ever consent
! to build it at such an expense.
But the fact is that it was
absolutely necessary for the
board to conduct this inquiry be-
fore formulating a policy for
construction or purchase Of a
canal, to satisfy the demand OF
the people.
Thi. subject settled, it will be
possible to proceed to the next
step, through condemnation pro-
ceedings or otherwise.
Fortunately. the water service
| Of the valley is most satisfactory
and is improving at the same
time extensions are being made.
AS the Press has said before,
the question whether the people
shall acquire the system is main
l. ly sentimental. The essential
| factors are abundant and cheap
water under continuous supply,
and those the valley has for all
time.
It is desirable that one by one
the details of procedure in ac-
auiring the irrigation system
shall be worked out by the board
| of directors and engineering and
legal advisors in whom the pub
| lie has confidence, but to this end
dependence must be placed on the
board Of directors, the only body
| of men to achom the public has
assigned the difficult task.

valuable but 1t has. in the minds OF
most dairymen. ficticious value or

IRRIGATION DISTRICT
III AFFAIRS

The affairs of Imperial irriga-
tlon district have reached that
point where there is grave dam
ger of a feud that will be de-
structive to all progress, and
where wisdom is required to so
steer affairs that there will not
be a wrecking of the district.
Under the board Of last year
between the secretary and man
ager, George L. Melton, and the
attorney of the district, Judge
Haines Of San Diego, there grew
up an antagonism that was un-
fortunate, and which now seems
likely to continue its influence to
the detriment of the district.
Mr.. Melton and his supporters
contend that the policy Of Judge
Haines was vaccilating, and the
contention seems to be fully JUS
titled by the facts set forth.
On the other hand, problems
confronting the district are so
complex and have been so waver-
ing that it is difficult not to be
vaccilating in ones opinions.
The conditions that were
changing included court deci-
sions and affairs in Mexico, with
its revolutionary upheavals.
They also included the sentiment
of the people of this valley, as
governed more or less by the
interests of particular groups Of
people.
When the new board was
formed, it was considered advis-
able to dispense with the Office
of manager, and Mr.. Melton's
services were discontinued, but
Judge Haines was retained as
legal adviser.
1t often is found by an en-
ployer that two employees are out
Of harmony, and because of the
influence Of disaffection through
the whole organization, it is
found desirable to let both go
and begin anew with a clean
slate.
1t looks as though that would
be the better policy for the dis
trict. In retaining one of the
disaffected elements and letting
the other go, the district direct
ors have simply aggravated, in
stead of cured, the trouble.
These facts seem to be evil
dent: The three requisites now
are patience, zeal and strong
guiding hand.
Patience is needed because,
with no assurance as to the pol
icy of construction Of canals that
will be found desirable, with no
stable government in Mexico to
deal with, and with the Southern
Pacific Company enjoined by the
courts from selling the canal sys-
tenn, it is impossible to tell what
procedure is desirable.
Zeal and a strong guiding
hand to direct the district are
certainly needed, but that zeal
and that guiding hand must re-
pose in the BOARD of directors,
regularly selected by the people
of the district for the manage
ment Of the district, and these
directors should most assuredly
formulate a definite policy and
proceed to carry it out just as
soon as that is possible. And to
this end they should have the
auvice of some lawyer or Law
yers in whom an overwhelming

loch Of Oakdale, Stanislaus county, for
the creation Of state produce ex-

The bill proposes the creation Of a
commission of five members who shall

tze, manage, control and carry on the
business Of receiving on consignment,

tured within the state of California"
All producers within the state OF
any OF the above items will have the
right to consign their products to the
commission for disposal. The COM
MISSIONS duty is to receive, care for,
and as far as practicable preserve, sell,
dispose of and distribute all produce

The commission is empowered to
rent or acquire receiving stations,

farmers as to the condition OF crops,
the acreage planted to different vari-
cites Of produce, and price forecasts.
