Mesa News Notes
WORS[EY WANTS WEST WATERED

Senator A. A. Worsley, candidate for congress on the democratic ticket, spoke to a small crowd on the streets at Mesa Saturday. He had some rath CT interesting ideas as to what he called necessary amendments to the reclamation laws The senator stated that if he was elected one of the first things he would do would be to intro duce a bill appropriating S200,000. 900 for the building of dams and power and irrigating plants in the arid states of the west. This, said the speaker, no doubt would sound like impractical ble legislation, but if people would only consider that for fifty years the gov ernment has appropriated millions upon millions under the rivers and har- bors improvement acts, and these vast amounts had been donated, not loaned, under the idea that they were for the public good The speaker argued, however. that the arid states had re ceived comparatively little benefit from the bulk of this expenditure and that naturally great benefit had accrued to the states where the monies had been spent. His claim was that $200,- 000. 900 expended for the purpose above stated would populate these states with 25,000,000 people, who would be pro- ducers because they would be the farming classes.
 This money, he said, should be repaid at the rate of per cent per year for fifty years, so that at the end of that time all obligations should be can celled. He argued that the Roosevelt project cost the farmers three million dollars more than it needed to- and yet that the three million, even if spent or natural mistakes in the beginning o1 the building of such great projects should not be charged to the farmers but to experience such as would save money on future projects. There art a hundred places in Arizona alone, h' argued, where dams could be put in tC benefit the people, and many places il adjoining states, but at present ther' is no fund available and so we wal and the arid states suffer in tn waiting.
 Senator Worsley made tine statemen that this country has lost S00,00 peo pie to Canada in the last fifteen year and they have gone because the Can adian government made it easy fo these farmers to get homes. and sail he: This country cannot afford t lose farmers, for they are workers they are producers. The only peopl We can afford to lose are the parasites those who live off the workers, tn saloon keepers and the bankers" iron which it may be inferred that the can didate is Feminist" the banker an his bank.

Child Fatally Hurt
 Luls Martinez, aged five years, was perhaps fatally injured early last evening when, in attempting to cross In front of three rapidly approaching automobiles about four, miles east on the Tempe road, he was struck and Knocked down by a machine driven by K. A. Woods of Chandler. Toma- clta Martinez, mother of the boy and a young girl, friend of the family, were in ranch house near the road, and hearing the child scream ran out toward the road just in time to see him bowled over by the machine.
 Realizing that he could hardly avoid striking the child. Woods applied his emergency brakes and in some meas ure reduced the force of the impact He immediately stopped, picked up the child and mother and drove at ton speed to the office of Dr. L. Boido in this city, where every possible at tention was given. For a time the child retained consciousness, but later lapsed into inconsistencies. Exam ination revealed conclusion of the brain, possible fracture of the skull and several serious gashes in the scalp.
 As in the Glendale accident. no blame can attach to any person. The child. in attempting to cross the road, became confused when three ma- chimes Were seen to be approaching, and in attempting to avoid two stepped in front of the third. The mother of the injured child lives in Glendale, but was spending the day with friends east of this city.
