within its beneficient provisions farm
lands under government irrigation
projects. and the extension OF the leg
is,ation to include the gran:ingrof
preferential loans through the rural
credit system under favorable terms
and conditions to honorably discharg-
ed soldiers and sailors.
The great task of winning the war
has brought women more prominently
to the front In state and national
affairs. in every undertaking for the
welfare Of the men in our fighting
forces. she has played a most import
ant part In many instances she has
taken her place side by side with men
and is periSrming the same laborious
tasks.
SIX yeas ago. the rDemocatic State
of Arizona gave to the women of the
state the right of suffrage on equal

that confronted them.

service Of our country to advance the
lines OF the worlds democracy with

The state primary law, though cor
rect in theory. as il is at present con-
s;;tuted and operates is a grave men
