The dismissal of Arthur J. Haltom. superintendent of irrigation for the U. S R. S from the government reclama- ton service was recommended by the beard of governors and the council in ioint session at the Water Users build ing yesterday afternoon. The two bod ics decided on this action when word from the secretary of the interior in formed them that this was the only possible recourse from the damages suffered in January as a result of the flood in Salt River valley.
 Like a bolt of lightning from clear sky came the announcement that the two governing bodies of the water uscrs had decided to ask for the resig nation of Mir. Haltom. Not even those in close touch with department off cials had suspected that any friction existed between the users and Haltom.
 Failure of the superintendent of irri eation to follow the instructions of Project Manager Cone. relative to re- pairing damages in the river break, is given as the cause for asking the dis miSsai uf Superintendent Haltom. At the time of the flood. it was known that some ill feeling had been aroused. but il was generally supposed that the wound had been healed.
 lt will be remembered that the az rregate loss in the valley as a result of the breakage and over flow, totaled about s59.000 The board of governors and the council contend that this loss could have been avoided had Haltom followed the instructions of Project Manager Cone.
 By disregarding the orders, it is argued. second overflow occurred which resulted in great property loss as well as heavy damage to the canal.
 Some time ago the board of gover uors filed protest with the secretary of the interior against this loss of s59 coo being assessed against the project
 word was recently received that nc deduction could possibly be made on that account. but that if they so de- sired. the board could ask for the dis missal of Superintendent Haltom. They

The first mentioned improvement, he stated, would serve a double pur- pose and would have d tendency to serve not only as roadway but as waterway for torential streams in flood seasons.
 By taking the water now flowing through the Salt river canal to the north of the city. the old town ditch could be abolished in the city. Such an improvement would represent an expenditure, he estimated, of S3G0000
 By depressing the old road in the center and having it lined with con crete. the depressed road could serve the purpose of highway at all times and a waterway whenever the occasion demanded. It is believed ;hat through such an improvement the flood waters could be carried off without any material damage to prop crty or crops.
 In the matter of relocating the course of tLe town ditch through Phoenix. the city has already con- siGered the adyisbiity of suhmerg- ing and fling from Seventh street to Seventh aNenuc. distance Of about one mile. This improvement as discussed by the city. also embodies straightening the course of the ditch go that 1t would run directly parallel with Van Buren street through the city.
 This improvement would represent an expenditure of about $104 .000. i' is estimated. but a larger portion of the ditch would still remain a bar to cilic improvements.
 The alternative proposition advo- cated hy Mir Davis was to do away with the ditch entirely in this city In relocating the course of the ditef to the north.

st. Paul, Minn.-Rumors that
group of l. W. w. members were en-

st. Paul police to take special precau-

Burnquist from possible attempts at
assassination. Special police were ap-
pointed to guard the states executive.
Governor Burnquist was inclined to
take the need OF precautionary meas
ures lightly and to adopt the attitude
that the less fiery of the strikers
would recognize his action as being
only in the interests of law and order
and not directed against the organiza-
ton.

BEATING US TO TT

One good, at least, is coming out of
the 81 varieties of Mexican repolu-
tionists. 1t is an experiment in single
tax.
Carranza, it seems, has promised
that he will divide the haciendas. or
great landed estates OF Mexica, thus
granting the one stable demand OF
the common people in the midst of
their recent political npheavals.
Land monopoly is to be destroyed =
at least until another revolution np
sets the scheme by the new "ley
agraria" of Yucatan. The law pro-
vides that eyerv Mexican orforeigner
living IN the state may have the right
to cultivate a piece of land for main
tenance of his family, the rent to be
paid to the government as a tax.
There is no absolute ownership Of
the land, although leases may be
given for 999 years. Distributions OF
the land are to be made August and
February 1st of each year.
Thus the land of Yucatan is to be
Dationalized, and it looks as if Ole
Mexico was beating us TO it, SOM
