perimentins here in diffedent places to
lind out the best grasses and best grains
To be grown upon the plateau. The man
chosen was Mr. Harry V Harlan. the
agronimist. in the barley investigations
OF our Department of Agriculture. He
came here seven months ago and is al
ready making good progress. ] met Mr..
Harlan at Juliaca. and went with him to
some of the experiment stations. He has
one little farm OF four or five acres right
near the railroad and this has been
planted to cereals and grasses Of Eari-
Gus kinds. He showed me one plot 81
barley consisting of perhaps fifty rows.
each from seed gathered from Il different
part OF the world. Some Of the barley
came from Smyrna, some from Servla
and some from Russia and the western
highlands of the United States. Othar
rows were of seeds from Manchuria, the
high plateaus of India and others We're
from the plateau of Tibet All Of these
harleEs are growing We'll and many of
them far better than that from the native
Peruvian grain. There seems to be no
doubt but that almost any kind of hardy
barley will grow on the pampas, and the
experiments Of Mr.. Harlan may open up
a new future for the highlands of Peru.

The soil oI the plateau is almost free

DUTY OF VOTERS.

1t is only ten days until election
day. In addition to the candidates
for office to be voted on that day
there are five constitutional amend
ments four referendums on laws pass
Cd by tn l. Legislature and ten initla-
tlative laws to be voted on.
Every voter in the state should
rae carefully and thoughtfully each
one of these measures and make
a study OF them, so that they may be
a e to vote on them intelligently.
There should be no haphazard
voting on sny leg; g;slative measure or
amendment of the constitution. Not
only should the measures themselves
be carefully read Gnd studied, but the
arguments, Doth affirmative and neg
ativa. should DE studied.
Any voter not supplied with copy
OF the pamphlet containing these
measures can receive the same by
writing and making request of Secre-
tary Of Sta'e Sidney Osborn who
will supply all who apply to him.

AN ENVIABLE RECORD.

In the conduct of his highly impor-
tant and responsible position, Judge
Baxter has truly established for him
self an enviable place, as the records
of the court clearly show
A careful search of the records
disclose that during two years and
eight months in which he has been
on the bench, Judge Baxter has dis
posed of 235 civil cases, probate
cases and 141 criminal cases. or a
total of 1856.
Of this great number of cases an
unusually large percentage of the SUI
periOr court decisions have been final
OF the civil cases, 4 were appealed
to the supreme court of the state and
OF these 9 We're affirmed and one
partially affirmed; | was dismissed
and but three were reversed. OF the
probate cases, only | was appealed
and in that Judge Baxter's decision
was affirmed. Of the criminal cases
only were appealed, and they were
reversed on technicalities.
This constitutes a record of which
any court might we'll feel proud-a
record upon which any judge might
With confidence go before the peO-
pie and ask for reelection
This written score does not however
complete the commendable record of
Judge Baxter's court. To it should
be added the fact that under his jur-
1sdlction and direction business has
been conducted eXpeditiously and dis
posed of promptly, a most important
consideration to civil litigants, an act
OF Justice to persons accused of
criminal offenses, and a measure of
economy to the county The right OF
all parties to causes, both civil and
criminal, have been ZealousIy guarded
the strictest impartiality has prevail
ed; not breath of dishonesty has
been heard, and the dignity of the
temple of justice has been steadfast-
ly maintained
This is a record which should ap,
peal to the thoughtful the conscien-
t;ous ard the patriotic voter. Not
only does it entitle the judge who has
made it o the reward and the vindi-
cation which come of reelection, but
the best interests of the county and
OF the people call for such action.

ANOTHER BULL MOOSE ERROR.

Among the large number of eve
condemn" planks in the Progressive
state platform is the following:
I'VE condemn the action of our
representatives in congress and in
the senate who voted against the ma
uonal enfranchisement of women"
Whoever it was who wrote this par
agraph for the Progressives was GER
fa1nly sadly misinformed as to, the
facts. The record shows that on Jan
uary 81, 1913, Congressman Hayden
spoke in favor of the French bill to
PERMIT women citizens to vote for
members of the house of representa-
tive at a hearing before the commit
tee on elections. On April 21, 1918.
Mr.. Hayden introduced house Joint
resolution No. 20 to amend the fed
eral constitution by granting equal
suffrage to women. At the Democrat
1c caucus held on May 8, 1914. he
voted in favor of the Raker resolu-
tlon to create a house committee On
woman suffrage.
The congressional record for March
~, 1914, the day when the Barstow
resolution to amend the constitution
The Parker post., 1914-10-24

by extending the right of suffrage to
women was voted on, shows that Sen
ator Ashurst announced that Senator
Smith was unavoidably detained at
the interior department, while attend
ing a conference on the reclamation
act, and further announced that II
his colleague were present he would
vote yea"
Senator Smith and Representative
Hayden have never "vOted against
the national enfranchisement of wo-
men" The record shows that they
have favored the cause of equal sui
frage in the senate and in the house.
If the rest of the Bull Moose platform
is as totally at variance with the
truth as the plank that we have quot
ed, the Progressives have little to
stand on in the present campaign.
The Parker post., 1914-10-24

1t was the unanimous opinion of
the delegates attending the Irrigation
Conference at Denver last spring that
the financing of future reclamation
projects was directly up to the west
ern land states. The government
officials were frank in stating that
the reclamation service cannot hope
to construct any more new projects
for many years to come. In fact, if
the government is enabled to com
plete the projects already undertaken,
it will deem itself fortunate. Ar
kona is taking the lead in initiatin e
measure whereby arid lands in
this state may be reclaimed. A vote
for the State Reclamation Bill means
a greater Arizona.
