Would Go It Alone.

The Mississippi River Levee Association desires to get away from the smell of the pork barrel" and at late meeting adopted the following resolu- ton:
 That it is the of this conference that the improvement of the Mississippi river and the p1o- tection of the Mississippi valley from floods should be made separate. special and independent project by appropriate legislation. That all members of congress interested in the subject be requested meet in the office of the commerce committee of the senate in Washington November 39th ten o'clock a. m. and cooperate in the preparation Of a bill to be presented designed accomplish this purpose"
 There may be two reasons -or wish dis sociate the Mississippi river project sand and included in the usual rivers and hor- bors bills, for suspicion be attached to all of them. meritorious ones Every year the rivers and harbors bill becomes more and more a national scandal In the next congress with the defense program claiming attention and demanding largely increased appropriations from shrink ing revenues, it does look would be to fill the pork barrel" There must be a general sealing down of the items of bill or the elimination of the bill altogether. It would not be possible pass bill making appropriation for only meritorious projects. projects must be included if the meri-orious ones are to succeed.
 And here the Mississippi Levoe Association is running some risk by the isolation of it's project from the good and bad of the general bill. The association trusting the merits of it is trusting to something that does appeal the average congressman in the heat of the wild scramble the pork barrel"
 The levee people have always been inclined to regard their project requiring separate. special independnt" legislation. They have taken their chances with the rivers and haroors people and have always been pretty well taken of Some of the levee advocates have op- posed more comprehensive plan for the control of the flood waters of the Mississippi it's in- fluences. They have insisted upon direct pro- lection by of levees 50 that the appro- priations would be spent locally, where rivers and harbor appropriations always spent
 Whether the association favors a compre- hensive plan to regulate and control the flow O the river not only protect the people below but to benefit those above we do not learn from the resolution.

Former Governor L. c. Hunhes.

When former Governor Louis C. Hughes was laid away at Tucson yesterday, was hidden forever one who had played foremost part in the making or Arizona. His part had begun at the beginning when the work most strenuous Governor Hughes aggressive leader never follower Naturally he made many bitter enemies-politicaI enemies bitter that in most cases there was no after reconciliation.
 Governor Hughes was possessed of courage and persistence in a marked degree and his success in ataining the ends he sought was often a surprise to those who opposed them.
 For thirty years Governor Hughes had advocated prohibition and suffrage. So unlikely was ,, that either would be adopted in Arizona that il could not be believed that so astute a man could really be in Why he should advocate them mystery. for neither was popular issue anywhere. and could not contribute his political strength. Both the prohibitionist the suffragfst were regarded jokes. Yet the governor lived to see the saloons driven the state. and to see woman elevated to the political level father husband. brother and son.
 Both of these things were accomplished after Governor Hughes had retired from public life but they grew out of the ground where almost alone he had sown for a generation
 Every project for the uplifting of people had his sympathy He rler in the church. Every moral movement had his support
