Crop Protection

The bin for the reorganization of the commis- sion of agriculture and horticulture known as house hil m should have the earnest prompt and favor able attention Of the legislature We speak advsedly when we say that there is other measure passed or pending of SO great importance calculating it's importance by dollars and cents as we shall herein after show.
 l amends the present law chiefly by a recognition of the cotton growing industry; by changes in the organization of the commission and by substituting for the $500 salaries of the commissioners per diem of slo.
 lt makes the numbers Of the commissioners five. Like the existing law it requires that the commis- soners shall be representative of the various agr- cultural and horticultural industries to which, of course, cotongrowing has been added since the en- sctment of the present law
 The bill carries appropriation, leaving that to the general appropriation bill An estimate of the needs Of this department for two years how cvcr is s6s35O including salaries of the chief en- tomolosist. his assistants and other necessary at tachcs. traveling expenses equipment field and of- rcc supplies publications and miscellaneous expenses The expenses provided for two years ago were we believe about s5O00O The greater expense of travel ins and equipment well as the greatly increased scope of operations Of tho department easily account f'- ihe larger estimate.

the alfalfa fields of the valleys have enjoyed direction of the state entomologst, Dr. A. W. Nor Till the territory and later state have been saved many times the cost of the operation of the depart ment through that period The degree of freedom the pests and plant diseases which afflict other states is due to his ceaseess vigilance and his rigid and impartial enforcement of the laws for the pro- lection of agriculture and horticulture in Arizona
 Taking the United States it is estimated that the from of pests and plant diseases is 10 per cent of the crop value. The loss in recent years has been much greater than that in the cot ton-growng states and in the citrus-bearing states of California Florida. The crop valuation of Ari zona is now s3sOOO.OoO by of the free dom we from pests there has been saved to the farmers of this state more than 3S,oo0,oOo.
 All loss. of course is not preventable. We have in Arizona, insect plant losses but they have been very much restricted. though in cases the loss has ranged from very small to >2o and sOO an But in most cases they have been small, though in the aggregate considerable that the farmer has not been aware of them.
 It is a part of the work of the department to combat the enemies of agriculture, extermnste them when possible but the thing to be guarded against the importation of pests and diseases.
  culture showing the Of the boil weevil dur ing years. It shows first the appearance of this pest within a very restricted the gulf Lines resembling the sothermal lines of the weather maps show the progress of the boil weevil from year year until the outer line embraces the northern part of the cotton growing region of the south extending into the Sea island district of the south Atlantic and extending westward until nearly the whole of Texas is embraced
 Another much more serious pest is the Egyptian pink boll-w Though invasion by it is less inn minent if successful it would be much more deadly and would make necessary a campaign in Arizona that would cost the cottongrowers millions Of dollars
 The Arizona Orange Growers association, mind ful Of what has been accomplished for that industry by the department, and the Arizona Egyptian Cot ton association, fully of the menace of cotton pests have both endorsed this bill urged its pas sage.
 A feature Of it which must appeal to the egsla ture is the proposed increase of membership of the commission which would allow representation from all the great agricultural of the state all the great agricultural horticultural industries.

and meets with the approval of the board.
 The proposed school is to be so To- cated that the children may attend the regular public schools, securing there by all the advantages of this demo- cratic system, usually denied to in stitutional children
 Governor Campbell favors the pro- posed measure, he stated yesterday Arizona said the governor has. duty to perform in the care of orphaned children and a number of wise pro- visions have been incorporated in this bill. l like the idea of sending the children 10 the public schools. it will be good for them and will lessen the expense of maintaining the institu- tion. At the present time we can do nothing for our orphans except send them to the industrial school, which seems distinctly not to be good for them. Undoubtedly a board composed of the parents of minor children would administer the institution, other things being equal, better than the type all too often put in charge of the public dependents

BILL PROV|DESFOR
 ESTABLISHMENT IF
 STATE ORPHAN HOME

Novel in it's wording and provisions, yet showing a keen and sympathetic understanding of the problems sought to be met. a bill has been introduced in both the house and senate for the es- tablishment of home for Arizona's orphans, to be known as the Arizona State Children's Home
 Among the provisions of the bill is that the directors shall be selected from the parents of minor children, directors that have to meet in their own homes the same problems they will have to administer in the childrens ' home. It is removed from politics by the provision that the superintendent shall serve as long as his administra- tOn- Is for the welfare of the children

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing

The legislature being now in session and the members are very desirious Of enactlng laws that will he economi- cay and useful to the citizens of the state, l wish to suggest some needed legislation. The delinquent tax laws should be repealed for the reason that they are imperative and unreasonable imposing an unnecessary burden upon the tax payer. For an illustration, g suits were filed in the superior court in the month of May, 1915, and among these were suits for delinquent tax amounts as follows: s6 cents, ss cents, s1.o6. To redeem these tracts the owner would have 10 pay S10 for fling suits, 30 cents for making tax roll and S25 printers fees. a total of s3330 on each tract sold. The 32 tracts tax pay CTS will have to pay the sum of s1,129.6e as cost added to the tax penalty and interest before redemption can be made.
 The remedy for delinquent taxes is law that will authorize the tax col iector to sell the property for delin- quent taxes, after being advertised for % days, and issue a certificate of tax sale to the state, and if not redeemed in one year the tax collector should make deed to the state authorizing the county sheriff to put the state in possession of the property. the land not to be sold again but assessed as other lands and the subsequent purchaser to pay all taxes against the property. All property should be assessed in the name or the last owner of record; this will simplify the work in the assessors s office and in the tax collectors office. and would eliminate lot of work that is brought before the board of super visors, which is made by the indiscrim- mate listing of lands for taxation.
