COMMISSION MAKES MONEY.

Py far the biggest money-getter OF
any Of the state departments in Ari-
zona is the Arizona Corporation Com
mission, which turned over to State
Treasurer Johnson between February
IA, 1912, and September l, 1914, fees
amounting to 1921, ,36O61 This is an
average of $10,40O per month OF
$125, 900 per year.
During the same period it cost Ar
izona $112,113.59 to maintain the
Commission, which is an average OF
$4,000 per month or $4,000 per year
On this basis the Commission is earn
ing $4,000 more per year than it is
costing the taxpayers of this state.
In the thirty-two months of it's ex
silence, the Commission has collect
ed 1921 ,36O61 and has expended
SIP, 1889, which is an excess in
earnings over expenditures of $209,
26702.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THE
OPENING OF PARKER LANDS?

If the proposed State Reclamation
Bill succeeds in passing at the elec-
tion on November Sd the opening of
the Colorado River Indian reserva-
ton, anG the reclamation of the sur
plus lands within said reservation, is
assured beyond doubt.
B!lL two men In the state thus far
have borne all of the expense in the
campaign fer the passage of this bill.
These men have reached the limit of
Their resources for this purpose, and
Tie fost calls upon all who are in
terested in the opening of the Colo
radO River Indian reservation to con-
tribute something towards winding
up the campaign.
The money derived by popular con-
tributions is to be used in placing
advertising matter among the leading
papers Of the state, SO that the voter
may vof intelligently upon the State
Reclamation Bill.
This advertising matter is now be-
ing prepared, and it will cost approx
ilnately 500 to place it with the best
papers in the state. How much is
tft;s worth to you?
for this bill can assure you that it is
their earnest belief that if the proper
adv yertising campaign can be made
just pricy to the election the bill has
a most excellent chance to pass.
Most encouraging letters have been
received from Secretary Franklin X
Lane and Senator Henry F. Ashurst
uron the Arizona state reclamation
bill and it is highly important that
these be given the greatest publicity
possible before the election.
Make your contributions to The
Fest, and this paper will render an
account Of the expenditures to each
OF the contributors. 1t would be a
calamity to Parker if this bill is de-
feated for the want of a few dollars
to advertise it properly

Phoenix Men Here.

E. c. Diefendorf and E. H. Scott
of Phoenix are visiting Parker this
week. Accompanied by J. H. Beck
and Capt. Hull, the Phoenix gentle
men made a trip up the river in the
Arizona motor boat Thursday, for the
purpose of inspecting some land. A
start was made the previous day
but owing to an accident in running
into a snag about seven miles up
stream, they were compelled to re-
turn to town for repairs. A good
sized hole was torn into the bottom
of the boat, and it took quick work
to save the craft from going to the
bottom. Fortunately the accident
took place close to shore, and after
plugging the hole with old rags the
party succeeded in returning down
river without further mishap.

THE ANT|-HUNT FORCES STAND
AS A UNIT FOR THE ELECTION
OF RALPH H. CAMERON ~

iuallv democrats, who do not approve
of the present state administration,
and who will, on November Sd, cast
their votes against George w. P.
Hunt.
To determine, beyond doubt, the
attitude of these dissatisfied voters
toward my candidacy, caused to be
made a searching canvass of the dem
ocrats who disapprove of Hunt. The
canvassers employed, many of them
democrats, were all thoroughly res
ponsible and reliable men who stand
high in their respective communities.
They were just as deeply interested
in securing dependable information a
l was to receive it, and | make
public the report, personally guaran.
teeing it's reliability, as, in many
instances, I have secured full verifi-
cation.
Of the 10000 dissatisfied democra-
tic voters seventy-five per cent will
vote for me, five per cent for the
progressvies and twenty per cent are
classed as indifferent, and will per-
haps not go to the polls.
The object of this canvass was to
reassure my friends and supporters
that my election Is almost a certain
ty, and that vote cast for either
the nominee of the progressive party
or of the socialist party will be an
indirect vote for Hunt, and will de-
feat the voter in his endeayor to
free the state from the Hunt regime.
1t is essential, then, that the anti
Hunt democrats line up in solid
phalanx and vote for me. This done
there will be no question about the
result Hunt will be defeated, the
state relieved of incompetency and
extravaganza, and the million dollar
unnecessary tax burden lifted from
off the shoulders of the people.
This statement is not prompted by
selfish motive. 1t is presented pure
ly in patriotism-loyalty to the state
that We are all struggling to lift
from the disgrace aind reproach into
which it has been cast. If there was
any more certain avenue open for re-
lief than that which l have pointed
out, believe me when l say it, that
as a loyal citizen of Arizona, as
man who values honor and integrity,
| would reveal the exit, even though
it should lead to my defeat. But
there is no alternative.
You Must Vote for Cameron if You
Would Encompass the Defeat OF
Hunt
In a letter received to-day, written
by one of the most prominent and
influential democrats in Yavapai
county, these statements, among
others, are made:
The people of Arizona-dem-
ocrat and republican alike-men
and women-owe you an express
sion of appreciation for your sue
cessful efforts in securing state
hood for Arizona, and the many
other acts during yo.r term in

Arizona before the people of the
world. True, you were honored
by the people when they selected
you to assume this great respon-
sibility, but the wonderful work
done-your magnificent accom-
plishments-more than outweigh
ed the honor bestowed, and

debtor, and with a golden op-
. portunity to erase the obligation
