(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)

Realizing the absolute necessity Ol giving Secretary Lane first-hand infoI' nation as to what charges should be eliminated from the items of cost now taxed against the Yuma project, Ar Zona side, and further realizing that thet the best, the quickest, and really the only legitimate way to do it is through the board of cost review, lead ing farmers of Yuma valley have de cided to petition Secretary Lane and ask him to name a board of cost re view, in accord with the Yuma Daily Examiners suggestions that the third man on the board be water user of we'll known repute on some outside project.
 The subjoined petition is the docu- ment now being circulated. It speaks for itself, plainly showing that the boards findings are not to be binding on either the government or the water users, but only for the avowed pur. pose of accumulating data that may help Secretary Lane in his appeal to Congress, as well as to guide him in eliminating such items of cost as he may legally eliminate upon recon mendations of the board.
 This is exactly what the Yuma Daily Examiner has been contending for all along. It in no wise refers to or has any bearing on the contract between the government and the water users sociation-whether the contract be real or imaginary. It is simply in line with an honest effort to get it in the record, just as Bard is doing, that Yuma valley farmers are being taxed too much when they are aske1 to pay for millions of dollars worth of work that rightfully belongs to some other account.
 It will give the board a chance to recommend that the mesa be- included in the project, which will very mate rially reduce the cost per acre of the whole project
 It will save all the money spent on preliminary and useless surveys that are not properly chargeable to the Yu- ma project.
 It will save all the river revetment work
 It may save the entire cost of that dam, Laguna, or at any rate make in- stallment payments for 75 to 100 years.
 It will do so much good that Yuma valley farmers can already congrata. late themselves that the board of cost review will save them lots of trouble and lots and lots of money.
 And, finally, it can not possibly do any harm. Every farmer in the val ley shoud sign it without hesitation
 Sign the petition that is herewith printed and bring it or send to the Yuma Daily Examiner, no matter you have already signed one or not. A blank petition is here at the Examiner office. Drop in and sier it.
 The wish of those who have the peti- ton in hand is that it be completed by not later than Saturday of this week. 30 Secretary Lane can act by next Monday

NO "K|LL|AG FROSTs'
 EVER COME ID YUMA
(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)

(By Benjamin Franklin Fly)
 Weather Observer Hack cit continues to make good' on his assertion that we have no killing frosts here; Yuma has a climate peculiar unto itself.'
 For the past three days, however, 1 have been some what apprehensive about his well established record for truth and veracity, but all danger of a killing frost seems to have passed.
 The orange groves on the mesa are apparently unhurt, and the mercury in the little glass tube has settled down or rather up to it's normal station, with the chances in favor of "con- tinued fair weather" It will, there fore, be perfectly safe to leave your overcoats at home for the next day or two at least, that is, it will be safe to leave them provided you lock them up in your ice chest; otherwise, that unfeeling, malicious weather man over at Phoenix is very apt to burn them up, for he's real mad.
 Laying all joking aside, it must be admitted that our climatic conditions for the past few days have simply been delightful, as compared with Dantes Inferno" at any rate. Judge Holgate, legal adviser of the local board of cost review, is charmed with the 'evenness" of our temperature. He halls from Washington, D. C., where at this season of the year ev- erything and everybody goes into state of Information, but not so with Judge Holgate while he is here. In- stead of hibernating, he is going thru the incubating stage-in other words uO Hdo dlIOduy ISdIuSu uOW LO WdTU off killing frosts"-by dressing for the occasion, la shirt-tail-When pre- pairing an opinion for the board of cost review, or for MT. Teasdale's benefit.
 It is only fair to Weather Observer Hackett to say that for the past few days he has been very busy on his monthly reports, and hasn't had very much time to mix up patches of new and fresh mercury. He promised me. this morning, however, that he would hoist big black flag from the top of his weather station if there were any signs of killing frost'' visiting Yuma tonight. I have unbounded faith in his ability to keep "Old Jack Frost" away from us for several days to come.
