is beinfg brought home to cotton
growers everywhere.
The failure to obtain good prices

result of the European war, start

war struck into cotton planters
hearts will not be accurately known
until the census bureau at Washing
ton estimates the acreage this COM
Ing season. But the first estimate
OF the winter wheat acreage viii give
some hint as to the cotton situation
because tens OF thousands Of acres
previously planted in cotton have
been sowed In wheat. Field work
ers have reported hundreds of In
stances OF old cotton patches planted
for wheat.
The Texas Industrial Congress,
an endowed organization working for
better farming methods, diversified

farming an impetus by distributing
$4,000 In cash prizes TO high record
producers OF wheat, corn. maize, pea

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

A recent Associated Press dispatch
says that +. A.. Delano, vice-goverG-
or of the Federal reserve board Is
back in Washington from a "trip
through the Panama Canal and across
the continent, convinced that bust
ness is picking up and that condi-
tons generally show marked improve
ment.
Mr.. Delano said signs OF increased
prosperity were noticeable from the
Pacific coast all the way eastward and
that war orders, more buying by rail
roads and other factors were respon-
sible. He visited the Federal eserre
banks in San Francisco, Minneapolis,
Chicago and Cleveland, and thinks
their usefulness is becoming more sp-
preciated.

THE SHORT BALLOT

The State Bar Association at its
meeting in Reno last week passed a
resolution favoring an amendment to
the constitution of the state, making
all state officers appointive instead OF
elective, except the Governor, Lieut..
Governor and Judges of the Supreme
Court. This is what is known as
the short ballot, and as the bar asso-
doubt make an issue of it the coming
campaign. In the state OF New York
the voters are to be given an oppor-
tunity to adopt the short ballot. as
it is a part OF the new constitution
that will be voted upon this fall. A
few excerpts from two of the leading
papers in New York City concerning
the change is interesting. The New
York Tribune says "the short ballot
plan will not kill invisible govern
ment but it may cripple it at least"
The New York Evening Sun says
"at first thought, it would appear
that the more officers the people
elect, the greater the power of the
people in government, but history
proves the contrary. The vast col
lectively ineffective mass OF men can
best express themselves through one
man or through a small group. At
periods of strong public. feeling the
appeal is to one man and adequacy
has usually revealed itself in response
to such appeal. There is safety in
number-for the small politician.
The few responsible leaders must
work in the open and they can be
judged by results"
1t is an important matter and views
and opinions should be given the
widest publicity and an educational
campaign started through the state
press, so that when the next le2isla-
ture meets the subject can be taken
up in an intelligent manner There
is much to be said in favor Of the
change and likewise good arguments
against it and the voters of the state
are entitled to all the information that
possibly can be given them.

M~ISAPPLIED ZEAL

If the coterie who are opposing the
paving of Carson street and its inter
sections had used the same energy
years ago for the betterment of the
city that they are now displaying IN
their fight against progression, Car
son would be one of the most thriv-
ing towns on the Pacific coast. One
of the men who is fighting the propo-
sition has put about two months
actual time in his effort to defeat the
movement. Were a cash value put
on the time he has spent it would be
found that he has expended consider
ably more than what his share of the
cost OF the pavement would come TO.

WHY PECULIAR METHODIST"

1t seems a little too bad that the
members of the board Of trustees OF
Carson City are charged by a %thought-
less few with employing peculiar
methods" in their EFFORTS to secure
the paving of a certain street in this
city and its intersections, when the
real fact is that everything they have
done, whether right or wrong, le-
gally speaking, has been fair AMI
above board, as the records prove.
This can be attested to also by every
unbiased person who has attended
their meetings and Investigations the
Fast three months.
The city trustees of Carson have
proven themselves time and again as
being honest, intelligent and coura-
geous men and a credit to the office
which they fill.
1t may be shown ultimately tina.
the position they have assumed in
the street paving matter is wronT;
but so far as they have gone, both
in court and in the judgment of =
Zig majority Of the people, they have
been sustained in their every act and
contention, and that is pretty coed
evience that they are not following
peculiar methods"

gets by that some enthusiastic inves-
tigator does not come down from i
research trip into the wilds of our
big Arctic territory and raise the
limit on the boom talk about this
corner lot.
In a recent issue of Leslie's Week
ly is a tourists tale calculated more
than eve to make seeing Alaska the
fashion fad OF the American globe
trotter. He tells us that in its scenic
displays Alaska is a combination of
the Thousand Island region of the
St. Lawrence, the M picturesque
parts Of the Alps, the fjords of Nor
way and the volcanic and glacial
wonders of Iceland. That is but a
starter to the glowing description. N
addition "it has the sweetest flowers,
the most luxuriant vegetables. the
finest grazing and timber lands, the
richest fisheries and mineral deposits,
a healthful climate with the
warmth of the Middle states, in winter
in southern and western Alaska" In
the. highest attitudes the winter eli
mate has a "dry, healing cold"
After a while most of us will come
to believe that at least half that has
been told about Alaska is true. it
it difficult to. get over that long fixed
habit OF thinking about this Arctic
corner as a frozen wilderness. But

Ever since the Grant administra-

price of $4,000 for that "frigid
waste" as some OF the newspapers
called Alaska, we have been finding

that, instead Of a frozen wilderness,
the United States bought the most
