Desert Land Entries

A large number of desert land
claimants in Arizona are in doubt
as to the amount of water neces-
sary to place upon the land in
order to sufficiently reclaim it
to comply with governmental re-
quirements, with the results that
often final proof is rejected for
the reason that the necessary
water has not been placed upon
the land.
1t is learned at the land office
that a recent letter of the Com
missioner contains the following
information:
This office is of the opion that
in the extremely dry climate of
southeastern Arizona, in which
the land of the entry is located,
at least 2 acre-feet per irrigable

Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana,
was so schocked at the discovery
that, at the present rate of in
crease, one out of every five
marriages will result in divorce
before this century is half over,
that he had to offer a resolution
in congress to do away with di-
vorce altogether. Instead of di-
vorce, he would permit uncon-
genial married couples to separ-
ate and forbid them to marry
anybody else. This plan would
prevent many separations. A
vast proportion Of the divorces
of today are due to the entry of
the third person, and if marriage
following the divorce were made
impossible, many matrimonial
barques would not be wrecked.
Furthermore, most of the divor-
ces not caused by afinities are
due to peevishness and resulting
trivial misunderstanding, which,
in persons of much temper, lead
to estrangement and divorce.
These differences would more
often than otherwise be patched
up if divorce were not possible to
obtain. On the other hand it is
questionable whether the separ-
alton plan proposed by Senator
Ransdell would be conducive to
good morals.

Tax COmmiSSOn Issue
Is Making a Stir

That Arizona will elect a COM
mission of three members next
November is the opinion of many
attorneys and political observers
at the capital. They are of the
opinion that Commissioner Chas.
R. Howe is not going to be allow
ed to hold over till 1917, that if
he desires to remain on the COM
mission he must make a compaign
and be elected.
1t all hangs on the power of
the governor to appoint a man to
an elective office, to serve there
in after the following general
election. Recently the supreme
court of California decided that
the governor of that state had no
such authority. A certain person
had been appointed to newly
created office, and had been ap-
pointed to serve beyond the time
of the next general election. The
court decided that his term could
not extend beyond that election.
The Arizona constitution, it is
claimed, gives the governor no
more power than the California
chief executive enjoys. If this
contention is uphled, Howe will
be disappointed. He was appoint

The debate on the Alaskan rail
road bill brought out the infor-
nation that will be news to most
people in the United States, that
this government of ours is already
engaged in quite a variety of bust
nesses that are naturally supposed
to be private and not public in
their nature. The government
owns and operates the Panama
railroad and in addition to run
ming the road operates an ice
cream factory that manufactures
and sells more than 700 gallons of
ice cream daily. 1t also runs two
fine hotels and more than thirty
eating houses on the isthmus
where, according to Senator Bris-
tow, as good a meal for the money
can be obtained as can be got
anywhere in the world. 1t runs
a meat market that disposes of
seven hundred quarters of beef
per week. 1t operates numerous
butcher shops and a cold storage
plant. 1t successfully operates
thirty or forty grocery stores and
an ice plant and coal yard. In
fact, the government is mixing
in nearly every sort of business
down thoro, and seems to be
making a pretty fair success of
them all.

UNCLE SAM AND MEXICO.

In lifting the embargo on eX-
ports of arms and ammunition
for the constitutionalists of Mex
leo President Wilson has taken a
grave step. He is stalking every
thing on the ability of the rebels
to win over the reactionary
Huerta forces. If the Wilson
action should result in stimula-
tion support for the Huerta gov
ernment and a routing of the
constitutionalists, the position of
the United States would be a
very embarrassing one, with the
prospects for a restoration of the
amicable relations between the
two countries very remote. How
ever, the chances for an early
rebel success are believed to be
very bright. 1t is to be hoped
that the constitutionalist triumph
will give peace to Mexico and
bring about a new era of pros
perity for the War-torn country.
Governor Carranza, who is likely
to be pesident under the new
regime, is thought to be as good
a man as Madero was with less
fantastic notion. Until last week
there was some fear that Gen
eral Villa, filled with pride over
his military achievements, would
be ambitious to usurp the presid-
ency and rule the nation, but he
has disavoWed such intentions.
It is probable that the declaration
was exacted by the Washington
administration as a condition of
the recognition that was to be
given the rebel cause.
In a large degree the revolu-
ton going on in Mexico resembl-
es that of France in 1889. There
is a determination to wipe out a
species of landlordism which has
kept the great majority of the
people in poverty and ignor, nee.
The Madero revolution, which
overthrew Diaz, had the same
purpose, but vestige of the old
order remained in power. Ma
dero was too we * to carry out
his promises, When the Diaz
element had thus alienated Ma
dero's friends they suddenly kill
ed him and resumed the reins of
government. This barbarous act
imported new life to the anti
landlord movement, which now
promises to sweep the conserva-
tive element out of power and
eXterminate or Danish it's leader.
Only through a complete house
cleaning can MEXICO expect to
have liberty and relief from war.

Blame For Fires
Stirs Up Debating
on First Report

Railroads as a primary cause Of
forest fires were exonerated before the
State Board Of Agriculture to-day by
George Fl. Writ, of the Department OF
Forestry, reporting as the boards spe.
cialist on forestry, but objection was
taken to his remarks
Our experience said Mr.. Writ
has been that forest fires are usually
caused by carelessness and indiffer-
ence on the part Of the public. Sparks
from railroads do cause some fires
but not many. If everyone in and near
a forest will only be careful of fires
we shall have very few"
Mr.. Writ gave a general summary
OF the Forestry Departments work
and particularly urged the use of the
auxiliary forest reserve laws of 1913.
1t had been intended to have this
talk followed by one on Fire Pre-
vention" by Fire Marshal Joseph H
Baldwin, but Mr.. Baldwins paper was
read yesterday by Assistant Marshal
Charles Wolf. Elk Representative
William l.. Greasy, of Catawissa, took
issue with Mr.. Wirt's exoneration of
railroads. II never have heard it dis
puted until to-day" said he, that
railroads cause 65 per cent. of Penn
sylvania's forest fires" He criticised
recent legislatures for not passing a
bill making railroads responsible for
fires which they start "It was a good
English law $50 years ago. 1t ought
to be good law now"
w. IA. Stout, of Pinegrove, and r.
r. Heilman. of Emporium, corro-
borated Mr.. Greasy. Secretary of
Agriculture Critchfield said it is ex-
tremely difficult to fix responsibility
for fires and that, as he has formally
recommended, law should be passed
which would include patrol Of for
est lands by railroad corporations.
Speaking on "The Farmer and Leg
islation,' Deputy Attorney William
Hargest traced the American laws on
market forestalling, turnpikes, arson,
etc., to English statutes which were
enacted centuries ago. The salient

cial law of 1900, regulating fences.

The first pastor of the church was
the Rev. Frederick Fox. He was sue
