Of KAISER W|LHEL NJ

GLOBE, Ariz., Feb 22.-Joseph D.
Cannon, Western Federation agitator
and organizer, who with an Austrian
agitator conducted the strikes in this
and the Miami districts last year, ac-
cording to letters and newspapers he
has sent here, is continuing in New
York his efforts to oppose the govern
ment and the war and to create strife
through attacks upon those engaged
in industry Referring to a Cannon

denied either socialistic or l. w. W.
leanings, but in New York appears to
have acknowledged that he bears
both blemishes. He strenuously de-
MED here that his work was for the
purpose of hindering the government,
although it knocked good many mil
lion pounds of copper from the gov
ernment's supply. That was less than
six months ago.

Cost Is Nominal

Cost of handling the half-million or
more dollars received annually by the
state land department, including Sc
lection of additional land for the state,
selling and leasing of lands, and the
collection and loaning of state funds
derived from these sources, amounts
to less than the $4,000 appropriated
by the legislature for the administra-
ton of the state land department and
the selection of state lands. During
the six months ending December 81,
1917, over 100000 acres of land were
selected, on which there was paid to
the u. S. land office in fees alone
$500 Although the expenses OF the
state land department for the period
mentioned were greater than usual,
owing to the large acreage selected,
they still fell short of the approprla-
ton of $4,000 for the period, and
with the present six months expenses
less than this amount, the cost OF
maintaining the state land depart
ment will fall we'll within the legis-
lative appropriation.

Ft. Worth, Tex, Feb. 12, 1918.
Dear Miss Huff:
The kit sent by the Women's COM
mittee of Ray was forwarded to me
from Love Field. 1 want to thank
YOU and each member of the Woman's
committee for same, but mere words
are insufficient to express my appre-
citation. 1t is the incest one I have
ever seen, and the boys here who have
received kits from their different
homes all agree with me.
I hardly see how I was kept in mind
as it has been one continuous move
since joining the aviation corps, and
l know of no other Ray boys here.
Upon leaving Ray I enlisted at San
Diego and was sent to the University
of California for my ground work.
After completing the course, l was
sent to New York, as the government
was figuring on sending me to Egypt
for my flying, but later changed it's
mind and sent me to Texas. l was at
Love Field when twenty-five of us
were sent to the Canadian training
school here and attached to the R.
F. c., where we expect to remain I'M
til our instruction is completed.
Will close now as l guess you are
kept busy reading the different ex-
periences from the men in the differ
ent branches of the service, so won't
bother you with my own.
Again thanking you,
I am sincerely yours,

CONSTRUCTIVE POLICIES Of THE STATE LAND CODE
ENABLE ARIZONA TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT

PHOENIX, Feb. 22.-How the state
of Arizona is selling or leasing its vast
domain of land to the settler with one
hand, and is loaning the money thus
received with the other to aid devel-
opment, is shown by figures recently
compiled at the state land department
here. That administration of the
state land code under policies now
being carried out, is working to the
great advantage of the state, as we'll
as materially helping the cattlegrow
ers, sheep-raisers, small land owners
and dry farmers, is shown in a strik-
ing way.
Out of little over a million dollars
received from the sale and rental Of
her lands, Arizona has loaned half
million to farmers living in ten differ
ent counties of the fourteen, and in
addition is financing the Lyman irri-
cation project in Apache county with
loan of $150,000 In other words,
sixty per cent of the money Arizona
has received from the sale and lease
Of land has gone right back into the
pockets of the farmers to help them
develop their holdings. AS fast as
the applications for loans can be
passed upon by the state loan board,
those accepted are granted and the
money goes to work to build up the
state.
From the sale of lands Arizona has
| received during the past fiscal year
over 100000. Arizona's share of the
rentals OF lands on forest reserves
brought in another 100000 or bet
ter, while rental of state lands at the
| rate of three cents an acre added
$255,175 to the state treasury. Tim
Der sales amounted to $108,020 and
miscellaneous fees to approximately
100000 more. Classification and ap-
praisement fees brought in $33,281.
How State Lands Are Sold
| State lands are sold on a basis of
seven per cent Of the purchase price
down, with the balance payable in 38
annual installments, with interest on
deferred payments at the rate of five
per cent. Already over 361,000 acres
have been sold for a total purchase
price of $2,319,532, or at an average
rate of better than $3.50 per acre. Of
this amount S3O1,O8S has been paid,
leaving balance due of $2,018,444,
from which the state derives an an
nual income of approximately $101,000
Interest payments last year from con-
tracts made the year before amount
ed to $41,028 and during the present
year will treble this amount.
Retres r. r. Bonds
Of especial interest to taxpayers OF
Maricopa, Pima, Yavapai and Coco
nino counties is a summary of what
is being done with respect to the mil
lion-acre grant made by congress to
reimburse those counties for railroad
subsidy bonds issued in the late eight
\ les and early nineties, and amounting
in the aggregate to upwards of three
quarters of a million dollars. Of the
million acres set aside by congress tC
reimburse these four counties, 993,81:
have been selected by the state, leav
ing only trife over 5000 acres ye
to be selected Of the acreage select
ed, approximately 1900 acres hav'
been sold for total purchase price
of $353,478, of which $26,956 has beer
paid down, with balance of $326,52
: yet to be paid. Interest on thi
, amount at the rate of five per cent ;

come. of $16,326 annually. In addition
to the acreage sold, 768,639 acres have
been leased, which at the rate of
three cents an acre amounts to over
$4,000, or total annual income from
these lands Of approximately $4,000,
exclusive Of the payments on sales
contracts. Retirement of these bonds
should greatly reduce taxation in the
counties affected, as the levy would
be reduced to meet only running ex-
penses and road maintenance.
But it is through the administration
of the vast empire Of state school
lands, amounting to over 100000
acres that taxpayers of the entire
state stand to reap great benefit under
present policies. Should this entire
acreage be sold at the average price
Of $3.50 per acre, at which school
lands have been sold by the state in
the past year, it would bring the state
$44,570,240, which sum at five per
cent interest would amount to two
and a quarter millions annually. Even
by leasing this land at the rate of
three cents an acre, there would be
derived a revenue of $243, 10 annual
ly, or enough to pay half the school
bill Of the state at the present time.
Lyman Dam Restored
Notable among the accomplish
ments under existing policies is the
financing of the Lyman irrigation pro-
ject in Apache county. This district,
which was supplied by water from the
Lyman reservoir, suffered great loss
in 1915, when the earth dam was
washed out by flood, and faced ruin
unless the means were Forthcoming
wartime conditions financing of the
project through the usual channels
was found to be practically impossible,
and farmers living on $4,000 acres of
land contemplated the prospect of be-
ing forced to abandon the land they
had brought to a high state of cult
vation. Through the funds at it's dis
posal from the sale and leasing of
lands, the state was able to loan the
landowners $150,000, thus assuring the
financing of the project, and the main
tenance of production on $4,000 acres
of fertile land, no small item in these
days when the crying need of in
creased production is being heard on
every hand.

WAGE INCREASE
t,sse,sss EMPLOYEES WILL BENE.
FIT BY RATE BASED ON COST
OF LIVING.
AWAITS M'ADoO'S APPROVAL
Exhaustive Report Of Commission Civ.
en- to Director ceneral-Protest
From Brotherhood Leaders
Scale Of Increases.

Washington, d. O., May 0.-Wage ad-
vances to 1,939,399 railroad employees,
ranging from l per cent to the highest
up to 43 per cent to the lowest paid
workers, and a%ggregating $500, $1,000,
are made public in an exhaustive re-
port by the railroad wage commission
to Director General McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdOO is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendations and
probably will make a number Of diff
ferent alignments in deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general adj
vocates higher pay for most classes Of
workmen to enable them to meet in
creased living costs, but he has been
represented as favOring prOportionate-
ly larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. He also Is strongly opposed to
granting wage increases which might
dlsarrange the general scheme of pay
existing throughout other industries.
Leaders to Protest.
The leaders of the four principal
railway brotherhoods found On ex-
aiming the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the increases they had asked of the
railroad arrangements before govern
ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average Of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommended
lions would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever, virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances. which range all
the way from 81 to S34 a month, are
increases above the amount Of pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay
to the railroads is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit Of $sOO,OOO 900 in govern
ment operation Of the railroads this
year, as a result Of which Director
General McAdoO contemplates ad-
