Every voter in Navajo county
who has relative or friend who
has responded to the call of Un-
Gle Sam for service in the army
should make it his religious duty
to vote and work for the elec-
tion of Thorwald Larson, the
present county attorney, who is
now an independent candidate
for the same office. Let it not
be said of Navajo county that
her people helped defeat the man
who incurred the enmity of a
wealthy influential yellow-streak-
er who was trying to evade SER
vice under the draft, by appeal
ing the case to the district board
and putting him in Class l where
he belonged. The money and
influence of this republican yell
low boy, who registered as a
democrat, aided and abetted by
business associates and friends,
were successful in defeating Mr..
Larson in the democratic pri-
maries, but we have faith in the
loyalty of a large majority of the
citizens that they will demon
strate that dirty money and yell
low influence will not have pow
err enough to. defeat him at the
election. Winslow always goes
over the top on all patriotic en-
deavors, and it will be up to her
to give Mr.. Larson rousing ma
jority, because there are no yell
low sympathizers in this city,
and all our people are 100 per
cent American.

The political henchmen of Mr..
Golfer in the south part of the
state seem to take the view that
the only laboring men are the
fellows employed in the mines,
and they are always preaching
what Mr.. Golfer will do for them.
What is the matter with railroad
men? Does Mr.. Golfer and his
campaign strikers take the same
view of them as does Homer
Wood, the great apostle of reform
for office an d revenue, who
brands a railroad man a traitor
to organized labor because he re-
fuses to let Homer do his think
ing for him? Mr.. Golfer will dis
cover there are quite few rail-
road voters in this state before
this campaign is over, and the
few he gets will convince him
there are other laboring men in
the state besides the miners.
Mr.. Golfer presumes to be the le-
gitimate legetee Of Gov. Hunts
popularity, but he fails signally
to measure up to the Governor
in breadth of vision. Gov. Hunt
was the friend of all working
men, and he never snubbed rail
road employees, nor considered
them beneath his consideration.
Railroad men have always been
friendly with Gov. Hunt, because
he was always loyal to them, but
Mr.. Golfer takes the other view
that Homer Wood and a few 9TH
er labor agitators in the mining
camps are the fellows he has to
cater to to get the labor vote of
the state, and has no time to frit-
ter away with railroad men who
do their own thinking.

deterrent to crime. One fend-
ish brute openly boasted before
committing his heIlish crime that
he could only be given a term in
the penitentiary. Vote yes"
on 306.
Another initiative petition is
one providing that minor chill
dren cannot be vaccinated with
out the consent of parents or
guardians. Vote yes" on 3O8.
Another initiative petition has
for it's purpose the amending of
Section 30, Chapter 5, of the
statutes, regarding the leasing
of state lands. The present law
provides sthat state lands shall
not be leased for a longer term
than five years, and than not to
exceed 160 acres of agricultural
land nor more than GAO acres of
grazing land shall be leased to
any one individual, corporation
or association. This is a good
law, giving all citizens an equal
opportunity to lease some state
land. But this is just what the
big stock interests don't want.
They want to freeze out the lit
tie rancher and stockman, and
make it impossible for any more
to get in, so they are seeking to
amend the law by striking out
the fve-year clause and remov-
ing the limitation on the number
of acres of land that can be held
under lease. If the people of
northern Arizona want to pro-
tect themselves from the land
grabbers and keep the country
open for new settlers to come in
they should vote and work to de-
feat this viscious amendment.
Vote mo" on 311.
The initiative and referendum
is direct legislation, and the peo-
pie must study and investigate
amendments submitted if they
expect to vote intelligently. The
objection to direct legislation is
that people who are not directly
interested in the measures do
not pay any attention to their
Importance to the community or
the state, while those who ex-
pect to profit by the proposed
legislation are wide-awke to their
interests, and in too many cases
are successful to the detriment
of the whole state. On these
submitted measures every voter
is a law maker, and it is his du
ty to vote on them intelligently.

Amendments to Be Voted.

constitution, and a number of
initiative and referendum laws
are to be voted upon at the gen.
eral election in November, and
these matters are just as impor-
tant for the consideration of the
voters as the election of men to
fill the offices.
Probably the most important
question is the workmen's COM
pensation law. There seems to
be some antagonism to it from
certain quarters, but this would
be true with any measure deal
ing with the question. If the
provisions of the bill are proper
ly enforced by the commission
with an eye single to seeing the
employe is fairly treated the law
appears fair and equitable; but
if the commission selected hedge
the law about with technicalities
the law is bad. So the import
ant feature, if the bill is passed,
is to get commission appointed
that will honestly enforce it's pro-
visions.
Another constitutional amend
ment provides for giving coun-
ties representation in the legis-
lature on the basis of population
instead of the present arbitrary
method. Under this proposed
new law Navajo county will be
entitled to two members in the
House. Vote yes" on 1O2.
Another amendment to the
constitution is one relating to the
sale and lease of state lands, but
in fact it applies only to the
leasing of lands by striking out
the words mot to exceed five
years." which means giving les
sees perpetual right to the
state land. 1t is a vicious pro-
vision, and every citizen, not in
terested in grabbing state lands,
should vote against it. Vote
mo" on los.
Another harmless appearing
amendment, companion to the
one just mentioned, and equally
vicious in every respect, changes
the present good law which pro-
vides that mo individual corpor-
alton or association can purchase
or lease more than 100 acres of
agricultural lands nor more than
$40 acres of grazing lands," by
striking out the words ''or lease"
which lets down the bars for the
big interests to grab all the state
lands, and thus shut out the lit
tie homesteader and stockman.
The passage of this bill sounds
the death knell of any future de-
velopment and settlement of
northern Arizona. Vote mo"
on LOT is you want to protect our
little ranchers and stockmen.
There is an amendment that
the state can let contracts for
construction work instead of hav-
ing it done by day labor. Vote
"yes" on 300.
A referendum vote will be TAX
en- on the law prohibiting gam
bling in this state. The bill was
passed by the last legislature,
but was held up by a referen-
dunn petition. This bill should
be supported by all who believe
in the suppression of gambling
in Arizona. Vote ''yes" on 3O2.
Another referendum vote is on
the red-light abatement bill pass
ed by the last legislature. This
bill provides for the condemna-
tion of buildings used for i'm
moral purposes in this state, and
provides a penalty on the own
ers. This bill should receive the
support of all good citizens in
every community. Vote yes"
on 304.

Oil Interest

The Southern Oil and, Refining
Company are now sinking a well,
known as the Hadley we'll, No. l, on
Harrodsfork, this county. In 1866 oil
was found on this site, but the ccm-
pany operating was not prepared to
save it, though many hundred gallons
were barreled and hauled to Cumber-
land river and shipped. The Company
now operating in this field feel CONT
dent that paying strikes will be made.
Many people remember The oil ex-
element here in 1865 6, at which time
spectators fiocked here daily, by the
score, from Pennsylvania and other
States, but at that time companies
were not prepared to put down wells
to sufficient depth. But modern i'm
provements have come into use in the
way of machinery, and during this

Red Cross to Do Seed Corn Test
ing.

The bad condition of seed corn and
the imperative need Of a bumper"
corn crop this year, as war measure,
make planting tested corn a patriotic
duty. Realizing this the local Red
Gross organization has agreed to test
corn for the farmers under the d.
rection of Agricultural Agent, ]. L.
Miller.
Every farmer in the county is asked
to bring in an eighteen ear sample Of
his seed corn to the Cumberland Gro
Gerry Store, to have it tested or make
the test himself. All samples brought
in will be tested free but the eighteen
ears are to go the Red Cross. The
farmers will be notified of the per-
centage termination test which their
corn makes.
The farmers, who want to sell seed
corn under a guaranteed termination
test, according to the Lexington Ag-
ricultural station must have at least
one hundred representative ears test
ed. The Red Cross will test one hun
dred ears for any farmer for fifty cents,
which is only one-half cent per ear.
Select this hundred ears through va
rious parts of your crib and take six
grains from each ear, two from the
middle of the ear and two from we'll
down toward each end. Bring in
this sample of six hundred grains to
be tested. Leave your name, address,
variety of corn, number of bushels
for sale and price per bushels for sale
and price per bushel with your sam
pie and if it tests our good, either we
or the editor of this paper can prob
ably find market for all you have to
sell. If you make this test yourself
send this information to j. L. Miller,
Agricultural Agent, Campbellsyille,
Ky.

We take the following from the La

The government will not attempt to
curtail the tobacco acreage in Ken
lucky or anywhere else this year. The
tobacco farmers are at liberty to plant
as many acres of the weed as they de-
sire to cultivate.
This is the word Representative
Robert Y. Thomas is sending back to

circulated widely among the tobacco
farmers of the district that the gov
eminent, as a war measure, would
compel a large reduction in the acre
age of tobacco and it has been Great

Thomas was appealed to aud he took
the matter up today with both Secre-
tary of Agriculture Houston and Her

to control the acreage of any crop and
neither Houston nor Hoover is in the
slightest degree disposed to try to
exercise such authority, said Repre-
