The border vidette. (Nogales, Ariz.) 1894-1934, 1918-11-30

Through the passage by ma
jority vote in the election of a
legislative redistricting amend
ment (No. 1927 to the state con-
stitution, it is believed there has
proach to equality Of county and
community representation than
ever before known in Arizona.
The amendment leaves to the
counties the same senatorial re-
presentation as at present, to be
elected "at large" as at present,
and provides also that no coun-
ty shall have smaller number
of representatives than that to
which it is now entitled" Two
senators each will be elected by
Cochise, Gila, Maricopa and va
vapai counties, all other counties
having only one each.
Hereafter each county will
have in the state house of rep
resentativeS a member for each
1900 votes, or major fraction
thereof, cast in such county for
the Office of governor at the last
preceding general election. Di-
vision of each county into repre-
sentative districts shall be done
by the board Of supervisors,
each district to be balanced in
population with its neighbors as
closely as possible.
1t now appears evident that
the strength of 35 in the coming
house will be increased to 40 in
it's Successors. MaricODa cOun-
ty will gain three members. At
present it has six, contrasted
with seven from Cochise, which
has $500 fewer registered voters.
1t appears probable that va
vapai will remain with four
members, Pima with three and
Gila with three. Pinal and Co.
coniuo are due to raise to two
each. Graham, Greeulee, Pinal
and Yuma remain at two each
and Apache, Mohave, Navajo
and Santa Cruz at one each.

Immediately assigned to one of
Americas s free-lance aerial fight
ing squadroos. Luke's subse-
quent achievements in the air

Hon. Thomas E. Campbell.
Fleming Building,
Phoenix, Arizona.
My Dear Mr.. Campbell-The
official returns from the boards
of supervisors of the various
counties, as published in the
press, would indicate that on
November 5, you were elected
to the high Office of governor
of Arizona. If these returns are
certified as correct by the secre-
tary of state, as 1 assume they
will be, 1 take pleasure at this
time in cOngratulating you most
heartily upon your election. In
my entire public career 1 have
tried to be unselfish in working
for the best interests of Arizona,
regardless of politics or personal
feelings, and my one desire at
the present time is that in this
great era of reconstruction and
post war activities every impetus
be given to the real progress of
Arizona. In assuring you that
it is always my desire to CO.
operate in every thing that is for
real betterment of Arizona, 1 am
sure that L am also voicing the
sentiments OF those who so un-
selfhly assisted me in the cam
paign.
Very sincerely yours,

ANOTHER FEDERAL JUOGE.

Now that the war is over. a
determined effort is to be made
in congress at the short session
to put the bill creating an addi
tional judicial district in Arizona
through the house Of represent
atives.
The billhas already passed
the senate. 1t is repOSlpg in the
judiciary committee of the house
along with a lot of other. similar
bills creating new judicial dis
trictS.
The new district has been re-
commended by Judge W. H.
Sawteile, United States district
Judge for Arizona. It would
provide an additional judge and
Arizona would be divided into
two districts with Phoenix as
headquarters for the northern
district. A great deal OF the
federal business originates in
the southern counties and along
the border.
It is understood that Henry D.
Ross, Judge Of the supreme
court, is slated for appointment
as the new federal judge in case
the bill passes. His term will
not expire until 1922 and the
vacancy will be filled by ap-
pointment of the governor.
| Others mentioned for the ap
pointment are Geo. J. Stonemar
of Phoenix and c. H. Ruther
ford of Jerome.-Prospector.

PRESIDENT URGES
PEOPLE BUY ALL THEY
POSSIBLY CAN OF BONDS

Washington, Oct 14-Presjdent
wilson today issued this statement
on the Fourth Liberty Loan The
reply OF the German government to
my note of inquiry dated October g.
gives occasion for me to say to nv
fellow countrymen that neither that
reply nor any other recent events
nave III any way diminished the
Vltal Importance of the Liberty Loan,
relaxation now or hesitation now
would mean defeat when victory
seems to be in sight and would mean
years or war instead Of peace upon
our own terms
earnestly request every patriot
&c American to leave to the govern
ments OF the United States and or
the Allies the momentous discussions
initiated by Germany and to hemem-
hef that for each man his duty Is to
strengthen the hands Of these gov
ernments and to Go it in the most
important way now Immediately pre-
sented-by subscribing to the utmost
or MS ability for bonds of the Fourth
Liberty Loan. That loan must be
successful. an, sure that the Amer
lean people will not fail to see that
their duty and make it successful"

ONLY HALF OF LOAN
SUBSCRIBED so FAR

Washington, Oct. 14.-After writing
his reply to the German peace offer.
President Wilson tonight in a formal
statement to the American people re-
newed his urgent request for support Of
the Fourth Ii, 2rty Loan.
Relaxation now. hesitation now,
would mean defeat when victory seems
to be in sight; would mean years Of war
instead of peace upon our own terms"
said the President. Coincident with the
Presidents statement the treasury de-
partment announced that with but five
days left in the fourth loan campaig ign,
half of the six billion dollar total re-
mains to be subscribed. That means
that the country must invest nearly
one billion dollars day in bonds from
now until Saturday night, when the
three weeks drive ends. .
Subscriptions officially reported to the
treasury department now total only 81
19s. 4l9S5O, but officials were confident
that reports yet to be made on today's
subscriptions would carry the total over
the three billion dollar mark,
