The senate bill providing

The senate bill providing fol
the irrigation of the Yuma mesa
by the government has beer
passed through the house, ano
has gone to the President for his
signature. The Yuma reclama.
tion project contains about 40,
900 acres of land, nearly all OF
which is still public domain, but
withdrawn from entry. These
acres are said to be the best
citrus fruit lands in the United
States, and with the completion
of the irrigation scheme the
lands will be appraised at g
minimum price, and then sold al
auction to the highest bidder.
Residence on the land will not be
required.

A negro has been arrested in
Arkansas charged with issuing
counterfeit divorce DEGREES to
negroes of that state who were
weary of the martial ties, which
neted him an income of several
thousand dollars. 1t has become
so easy to get a real divorce in
this day and age that perhaps
the negro thought all that was
required was a written declara-
ton that the man or woman was
tired of the life partner and
wanted to shake him.

The coupling together of the
names of Admiral Dewey and
Buffalo Bill Cody is neither ap-
propriate nor in keeping with
history. Dewey earned his name
and title by heroic deeds; Buffalo
Bill gained his notoriety as a
wild west show man. Heroism
and notoriety are not synony-
nous terms.

Up to date no member of the
present legislature has had the
courage to introduce a bill re-
peaIing the rotten primary cleo
tion law, that has for its object
the control of the politics of the
state by the corporations. But
the session is young yet. and
courage may come with the wear
ing away of the natural timidity
of the members.

There are two classes of sena-
tors in Washington who are try
ing to defeat the bill providing
for prohibition for the District
of Columbia-one is the repre-
sentatives of the liquor interests,
and the other is the coWardly
class who are afraid to have their
vote registered either way.
They are trying to amend the bill
to submit the question to the re-
sidents of Washington. Why
submit it to them? The District
of Columbia is the seat of gov
ernment of the United States,
and it belongs to the several
states, ,who alone are interested
in the question Of banishing
liquor from that territory. The
people of the United States are
so jealous Of their interests in
the District of Columbia that the
governing authority for that
territory was placed in the power
of Congress alone, and the right
of franchise denied to all resi-
dents. 1t was intended solely
for the temporary abiding place
of government officials and en-
ployes, and the people who live
there other than these are simply
considered in the light of tour
lists, who have taken up a resi-
dence for the purpose of social
prestige by mingling with official
life. To allow this class of peo-
pie to vote on the matter of
abolishing liquor would be just
the same as permitting tourists
in any of the states to be the
sole arbiters of prohibition in
the state. The law-making body
for the District is Congress, and
for the members to dodge the
issue by submitting the matter
to a referendum vote of the local
residents, who would have to be
granted a special franchise pri-
vilege for that purpose, is a cow
ardly surrender to the whisky
ring that has had it's clutches on
Congress for many years. Every
state should watch the vote on
that question, and any Congress-
man or senator who lodges by
voting to submit the matter to
a referendum vote should be
defeated for re- election.

The wife of the governor of
Wyoming kissed him when he
signed a bill submitting a prohi-
bition amendment to the voters
of that state, and this remarka-
BILE piece of new is giving out by
the associated press. 1t is not
remarkable that the governors S
wife should kiss him at any time
if she feels like it. Now if he
had been kissed by some other
mans wife it would have been
more interesting, as forming the
probable basis for a sensation.

President Wilson has nominal
ed his naval aide and physician,
DR.. Cary I. Grayson, to the posi-
tion of rear admiral, and the
senate is looking not too kindly
on the matter and may refuse
his confirmation. Conferring
the rank of rear admiral on peo-
pie as a reward for friendship is
not the best way to build an eff
ficient navy.

Acknowledgement Jones,

Attorney-General Jones, who
is supposed to be the legal advi-
sor of the state, says that Gov.
Hunt was regularly elected in
1914 and that the law says he
continues in authority until his
successor is elected and qualified,
and with this view Mr.. Hunt is
governor until the court decides
the mandamus proceedings to
oust him from the state house.
If Gov. Campbell had received
25, 900 majority at the recent
election, Mr.. Hunt could have
pursued the same course he is
doing now and refused to vacate
the office, and compel Gov
Campbell to go to the courts for
a writ of mandamus. But what
would the learned attorney
general say if the contest for the
governorship had rested between
Gov. Campbell and Mr.. Geo. o.
ney, and Mr.. Olney would have
Instituted a contest? Would Mr..
Jones stand to the opinion that
Mr.. Hunt could continue in Of
fee until such time as the con-
test was decided between Mr..
Olney and Gov. Campbell? On
a recount of the votes Mr.. Hunt
may prove that he was regularly
elected, and if that assumption
proves true he would be entitled
to the place, but until the con-
test is started and the result
proclaimed by the courts he is
simply a usurper of the office
without any color of title.

The leak" investigating COM
mittee has transferred it's base
of operations to New York City,
as they say to get quicker action
on the records of the stock ex-

committee will depend on how
much noise and bluster they
make, and how little real damag-
ing testimony they can assem-
BILE, so the skirts of the public
officials and the law makers will
be cleared; and then pass a ring

pugn the honesty of the gang of
political pirates that infest Wash

sole and only purpose of using
their positions for private gain.

Senator Roberts, of Cochis

Senator Roberts, of Cochise
county, has introduced drastic
anti-gambling bill in the senate,
prohibiting all games of chance,
and penalizing the keepers, the
players and even the owners of
the buildings in which such
games are conducted. Under
our present law poker playing is
recognized as one of the inaliena-
BILE rights of a true Arizonian,
and if Senator Roberts can get
his bill passed into law it would
seem the great national game
has lost it's gripping interest with
the law-making body. Our ex-
perience and observation with
most legislative bodies it was
usually necessary to break up a
poker game to get a quorum of
members to transact business.

HARVESTER COMPANY PLAYED AS TRUST IN
 DISSOLUTION SUIT
Attorney General Gregory Says Morgan Dominates 1t Thru Office Boys-Govern- ment Control Talked.
CBy Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Mar Tn rear rment before the supreme court to- 'ay of the federal dissolution suit against the International Harvester 70 pany, Attorney General Gregory personally presented the govern ,nent's reason for seeking disintegra- tion of the so-called trust. He declar- ed that if the intent of the congress Q prohibit undue concentration of capital and restraint of competition were not carried out. government con '-ol if not ownership in all likelihood vould follow, with it's evils and dan gers.
 Such colossal combinations" of capital enjoying preponderant control of an industry if good" com binations-are illegal and har ~ful the 'ttorney general argued. He pointed 10 evidence that the defendant con trols between 77 and S5 percent of the NarvestinS machinery trade, asserting that "one dummy" and six office toys" formed the huge combination. This referred to the transfer of con stituent corporations assets to Wm. c. Lane for subsequent transfer to the New Jersey Corporation.
 Lane. the dummy" said Mir. Greg 0ry, offered 10 transfer the Subsidi- aries. The office boys gravely asked for time to consider. The next day the six office boys said the propOsi- tion looked good" to them and ac- cepted.
 George w. Perkins 0Ormerly of J. P. Morgan X Company was the little child who led them by the hand.
 "J. P Morgan & Company waved the magic wand-and received S3,500.- 900 for promotion services-to make legal what was illegal"
 There was conscious wrOngdOing in the combinations formation, the at torney general insisted. Competition actually had been "throttled and de stroyed." he added.

Local Men to Establish Fine
Camping Place.
Will Begin Erection of Fine
Hunting and Fishing
Lodge at Lake.

With a view to erecting a Club
House on the shores of Siskiwit
Lake in the northern part of
Bayfield, county an organization
was formed in this city during
the past week, composed of
fourteen Washburn men, and a
lot has been purchased on the
shore Of Siskiwit lake and the
erection Of q fae Club house to
be used for fishing and hunting
and outing parties will soon be
under way.
The membership of the Club
is limited to fourteen and it was
only a short time after the
formation of the Club until the
entire membership was filled
with many more upon the wait
ing list. The following compose
the membership: r. W. Smith,
Nels M. Oscar, Alfred Froseth,
Andy Murray, H. P. Axelberg,
George F. Morgan, H. H. Peavey
John Joanis, P. T. Trowbridge,
George Fox, Peter Fox, M. E.
Doyle, A. l. Lien and E. Berg
mann.
Plans for the Club House are
now being drawn and the con-
tract for the erection Of the
building will be let within the
next week or so when the con-
struction of the building will
commence. Several plans have
been submitted to the Club and
one will probably be selected at
the next meeting which will be
held within the next few days.
1t is the plan of the members
to use the new Club House for
fishing and hunting lodge. 1t is
situated on the shore of Siskiwit
Lake which abounds in fine
fishing and the country nearby
affords the very best kind of
hunting. There is also a num-
Der of fine trout streams in the
vicinity.
