toll in establishing a home is no
longer up in the air" regarding
the title to his land. He knows
he may secure it from the State
by purchase.
The utilization of the public
domain as applied to State lands
is for the benefit of the whole
State. School sections under
lease furnish an almost perpetual
revenue for the support of our
public schools. Rentals and pur-
chase rate of interest charged
for State moneys derived from
the several institutional grants
become a fund for the mainten-
ance of the State institutions,
and the bond grant income is
used for the payment of the
bonds, and interest in the several
counties where such bonds were
issued. By far, the public Land
Grant is the most valuable asset
of the State today, and this fact
is becoming more generally ap-
preciated. Section II, Article x,
of the Constitution of the State
of Arizona, provides that mo
individual, corporation or associa-
tion shall ever be allowed to pur-
chase or lease more than 160
acres of agricultural lands. or
more than GAO acres Of grazing
lands"
While am heartily in accord
with the ideas embodied in this
constitutional limitation, the aim
being to prevent the monopoliza-
tion of large areas OF our most
valuable land into the ownership
and control of a few; yet am Of
the opinion, and it is now gen.
orally conceded, that insofar as
this section of our constitution
affects the leasing of grazing
land, the restrictions not only
tend to defeat the purpose of our
public land grant, but forces up
on the stock industry of the
State, an injustice neither con-
templated by the act granting to
Arizona these lands, nor intended
by the farmers of our State Con-
stitution.
In view of the conclusions
reached, | venture to suggest
that a constitutional amendment
be referred to the people at the
general election in 1918. extend
ing the scope of the present con-
stitutional limitation. so far as it
effects the leasing of grazing
lands, to the extent that by statu-
tory enactment, every individual,
corporation or association, will
be permitted to lease not to ex-
ceed 6, 400 acres of grazing lands.

STATE LAND GRANT
Big Source of Revenue
Monthly from Sales and
Rentals

Few people realize the value to
the State of our Land Grant, nor
do they take into account the
enormous amount of work con-
nected with a fair and advantage
Gus administration Of the State
lands.
The value of the Land Grant
to the State at large is not to be
computed in terms of revenue
alone, although that is no incon-
siderable feature. 1t assumes a
much broader meaning in the
light of it's effect upon the in
dustrial and economic welfare of
our commonwealth.
Difficult problems constantly
present themselves for solution
in which vastly more than selling
and leasing is involved. The
equitable distribution of lands
leased for grazing purposes is
accomplished by reason of a
thorough knowledge of the situa-
tion acquired by intelligent study.
This knowledge also makes possi-
BILE the protection of equities
vested in the pioneer stockman
who has made the use of the
land possible by having developed
and conserved a water supply
and overcome almost prohibitive
conditions through the expendi-
ture of large sums of money. To
prevent the financially strong
from depressing the less fortu-
nate and to guard both the weak
and the strong from becoming the
prey of the unscrupulous are i'm
portant points which enter into
the general policy and methods
employed to serve the best in
terests of the State as a whole.
The Land Grant has added to the
States revenue approximately
$50, 000.00 per month, and this
will reach the sum of $500, 900. 90
q month when the full II, 900, 900
acres to which the State is en-
titled, is made available for lease
and purchase. Further benefits
are found in the fact that inter-
est rates have been reduced be-
cause of the cheap funds derived
from the sale and lease of State
lands, enabling the farmer to
borrow money at six per cent.
The broad policy pursued in
the administration of State lands
takes into account the protection
of the well-nigh overstocked
ranges from the invasion of herds
imported from other states.
The Stacker" is compelled to
furnish bulls, water, salt and
other range necessities for his
herd. Stockmen generally are
enabled to reduce operating ex-
penses; to produce a better and
more profitable grade of stock
and to increase the productive
ness of their herds, and finally.
being more secure in the pos
session and occupancy of his
range, the stockman is able to
secure financial aid when needed
more readily than heretofore. A
further aim of this policy has
been to stimulate spirit of CO.
operation and create a better
feeling among stockmen by hav-
ing the lines dividing their ranges
more definitely defined. The oc-
cupant of improved school lands

ARIZONA MEN WILL BUILD SHIPS

Arizona's quota of 1888 men of
the $50, 900 required by the gov
ernment for shipbuilding work
undoubtedly has been filed, as
far as the number registered is
concerned. But the registration
will remain open, according to
notice received by Thomas F.
Croaff, Federal Director for Ari-

those now registered can hardly
accept a call, while others may
fail when considered from the
standpoint of the high degree of
efficiency that will be asked by
the shipbuilding board.
So skilled mechanics still will
have opportunity and are urged
to get into communication with
their local boards of registration,
or with Mr.. Croaff, direct. in
Phoenix. Registration cards will
be furnished such applicants, as
well as a copy of an interesting
booklet, entitled, "The Man of
the Hour Is the Shipbuilder, "
particularly showing how skilled
workmen in various trades may
be converted into shipbuilders.
The shipyards will soon be in
a position to take on a large. mum.
ber of men and will want the
very best mechanics for perma.
nent employment during the
period of the war. Standard
wages will be paid. under STAN
dard working conditions. Most
of the shipyards are on a union
shop basis. The men enrolled
are under no compulsion or mill
tary discipline. If the employ
ment offered does not appeal to
them, it may be declined.
Mr.. Croaff urges that the pa
triotic character of the work be
appreciated, for every ship built
means efficient support to our
men in France and is another
vitally necessary step toward
ending the war and bringing vic

Harrisburg is being kept on the
map in military athletic circles by
Clarence Beck, to judge by the way
he cleaned up at Allentown where
Camp Crane inaugurated its track
and field sports on Decoration Day
before a huge crowd from all over
Pennsylvania. The program called
forth one continuous burst of amused
applause for there were some un-
common stunts, such as the dressing
contest, race in gas masks, horse
back and obstacle races and 22O-
yard dash in Army shoes.
Clarence Beck, with the ambulance
unit, cut loose with his usual pranks
right at the start, winning the 16-
pound shot put. The next event he
entered was the 100-yard dash in
heavy marching clothes and this,
too, he won, showing what he could
do if sicked onto the Huns. AS fin
ishing stroke he shared with Corline
the honor of beating all in the So
yard horseback sprint, and in short,
he was the cynosure of the huge
field. Breen, of Battalion 12, came
next to him in victories.
The next word from Harrisburg's IS
star athlete will probably be fl ON
Italy, for 1t was rumored to-day from
Allentown that the ambulance unit
is likely to receive ordersIany min
ute to start. 1t was also announced
that Clarence Beck had been pro-
NOTED to corporal as an opener to
higher commissions.

WON BY TECH
Big Crowd Sees Academy
Stars Defeated at Reser-
voir Courts

The Tech tennis team decisively
at Reservoir with a score of to 1.
The match was we'll attended and the
spectators saw some good tennis.
The first game was between John
Beck and Sam Fisher, Beck being a
Tech man and Fisher representing
the Academy. Fisher started out
strong winning the first game easily
but he slowed up and lost the set
6-2. The second set also went to Beck

near the close.
Baird took Campbell's measure,
60, GA. Both put up a good exhibi-
ton but the Tech man was victorious
in two sets. Captain Newlin, of the
Academy, lost to Manager Glen
Beard, of Tech, 60, SO. Newlin was
appointing match for his school,
Beard, on the other hand, put up a
clever battle and was easily the star
of the afternoon.
Shreiner nailed the Academy's
only triumph when he defeated
Knissley in three sets. After the pair
had divided the first two sets, Knis-
sley started the last meeting with
four successives victories and Shrein-
er seemed lost, but he came back
strong and triumphed finally Sc.

BULLER TALKS ON
TROUT FISHING
Season Has Gotten Into It's
Stride and He Looks For
Fine Catches This Year

The first part Of the trout season
which was marked by SHOWS and cold
waves and high water is only a mem
ory for trout fishermen now and they
are enjoying some excellent sport.
says Nathan r. Butler, the state COM
missioner of fisheries. From what
wardens have reported and what I
have heard from fishermen the fish
ing is good. 1t would naturally be
expected to be after the extensive
planting of fish able to take of them
selves which we did the last year"
declared the Commissioner. I'VE
planted approximately two and three
quarter million trout and streams
which had been closed were opened.
The fishermen themselves helped us,
a great deal"
The trout season runs until August
1, that day included and by that
time 1T is expected that some figures
will be available. A good many
brown trout have been caught. This
fish has been extensively set out.
In few days the Commissioner of
Fisheries will have sent to wardens
a circular relative to the limit of
trout that may be taken. Mr.. Butler
was in consultation with the Attor-
ney General and his duties re-
garding the mooted question of
whether the twenty-five trout, which
are the maximum, must all be taken
on one day. The instructions to the
wardens will go out in a few days
and Mr.. Butler says he hopes to
evolve plan that will meet the diff
ficulties.
The preliminary reports on the
bass are good. This season opens
on July 1. and it will be the first
season under the new fish code and
new limit has been established.
The frog season starts on July Q,
and there is limit of 25 in a day
and so in a season.
