PLAN ORGANIZATION
 ID SECURE ]. 5. LOANS 'ON LANDS IN VALLEY

Holding that Salt River valley lands under the Roosevelt project are now eligible to loans from federal land banks, Lysander Cassidy, a former Phoenix resident and now attorney for the federal land bank at Berkeley, Cal, informally discussed the farm loan sit uation with board of governor mem bers yesterday. His talk, though in- formal and altogether unofficial, is expected to add much impetus to tine work already on foot here for the or ganization of an association to present the case of valley farmers.
 Mr. Cassidy went to some depths in explaining the operation of federal loans and his talk followed the lines of the board of governor efforts to ef- feet a loan organization in the valley to take advantage the government aid.
 It has heretofore been held that lands under government reclamation projects were not eligible to these loans, in asmuch as the government has first lien on these lands. The Central land board at Washington has construed these liens as first mortgages.
 Since the association has taken over the project and has guaranteed pay ments to the government, however, it is argued that federal land banks could now make loans on these lands.
 It is stated, notwithstanding, that the most feasible method of present. ing the claims of valley land owners is through a local organization. Elf forts are now being made to perfect such an organization.

 S200 ID MEMORIAL
 FUND FUR ROOSEVELT

As a means of expressing, on behalf of land owners of the valley, their ap- preciation for the great assistance given by the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in the reclamation project which has transformed thousands of acres of des- ert lands into rich fields of cotton, alfalfa and grains. the board of gov ernors of the Salt River Water Users associat ton yesterday voted s200 to the Roosevelt Memorial fund.
 In taking this action. entirely upon their own initiative and without con sulting owners of land, against whom the amount will be assessed on a pro ratio basis per acre, the board stated that in the event of complaint. the amount pledged would be forthcoming from the pockets of the governors. The assessment will be one-tenth of one cent per acre.
 It was during the tenure of office of President Roosevelt that the recla- nation act was passed and the first great reclamation project designated here.
 Tn consideration of the friendship frequently manifested by Colonel Roosevelt for Arizona and especially the Salt River valley, we are taking this action," read a portion of the reso- lution voting the amount to the memo rial fund.

A PROCLA M A TION DESIGNATING MON DAY, OCTOBER 27, AS ROOSEVELT
 DAY

In listing great Americans, the nation and the world have given | high place to the name of Theodore | Roosevelt. The purity of his life, | his devotion to the land of his birth, | the high ideals he followed as we'll as advocated, and the services, both civil and military, which he whoIeheartedly rendered to his fell low men, have all been considered in according to him the rightfui titIe-"Theodore Roosevelt, Amer ican."
 As long as the state of Arizona shall have existence the memory of Theodore Roosevelt will endure in the hearts of it's people, for here es- peciaIIy he will be remembered through that greatest of all recla- nation works, the Roosevelt prof ect, which created an empire from the desert and was possible only because of his effective influence at a critical time. This rugged monu- nent, no mere statue or work of art in bronze or marble, is typical of the man whose name it bears; fountain of good to the people, direct benefsctor to thousands ot homes. It is such monument as he would have wished and within state made doubly dear to him as the home of many of that gallant reaiment that followed him on Cu- ban battlefields.
 The nation at large has now un- dertaken to honor the memory of the hero who has passed. The | Roosevelt Memorial Association has been formed, open to the member ship of all patriotic Americans, to secure for posterity the Roosevelt Home at Oyster Bay, and make it a shrine of Americanism as Mount Vernon has been, since the time of George Washington, the Mecca of countless patriotic pilgrims, and to erect at the nations capital me- moraI of lasting sort and of public utility.
 In this memorial, Arizona must have no small part and in every community it is hoped that the As- sociation Membership Campaign will be actively conducted from octo- Der goth to 27th, with especial par tieipation by the schools and churches. 1t is considered partic- uIarIy fitting that the last day of the campaign should be set aside for public observance.
 NOW, THEREFORE, l. Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby set aside Monday, October 27th, 1919, as ROOSEVELT DAY, and do request and urge that on that day every effort be put forth to insure the success of the Memorial Campaign, and that on the evening of such day there be held public assemblies at which the especial subject shf be "The Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt"
 | In Witness Whereof, have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 18th day of October, 1919. | THOMAS E. CAMPBELL,
 (SeaD Governor. Attest;
 MT SIMMs,
 Secretary of State.

Traps have been installed on Tempe road and North Central avenue to pro- tect the school children of Balsz and Osborn schools from speeders. A third trap will shortly be installed on the McDowell road for the benefit of Madison school pupils, it was an- nounced yesterday by Traffic Officer Watson.
 Judge Wheeler, in whose precinct much of the city's excessive speeding occurs, stated yesterday that he inc tends to do all sn his power to pre- vent persistent speeding past school grounds. where the limit is 12 miles an hour.
 Women are the worst offenders, &C., cording to Traffic Officer Watson. Yes terday two women were observed to drive past Osborn school at the rate of 25 miles an hour, and to wave at school children in the yard, paying no attention to the road in front. Women are the very ones who it would be sup posed, would be most careful of chill dren, according to Judge Wheeler.

Austin Byron Dunlap, Phoenix mill nonaire who died last summer, was possessed of but $1,039.25 worth of per- sonal property, according to the return of its sale filed by the executor of his estate with the clerk of the superior court yesterday.
 Of this sum, $S74 was realized rom the sale of a small touring car, art of- flee safe and an adding machine, leav- ing but s1.65.25 which was realized from the sale of his household articles.
 The simplicity of the tastes of MT. Dunlap were noted at the time of the appraisal of his estate, when it was found that he lacked but few hundred dollars to make it worth a million. All of this amount was in gilt edged se- curities. but despite his great wealth, he lived in the most modest of circum- stances.
 An order confirming the sale was signed yesterday by Judge Lyman.

RY-LANDERS" WIN IN COURT AND GET WATERR|GHT
Twenty Thousand Acres in Valley Affected by Deci- sion - Appeal Probably Will Follow, It Is Said

Approximately 2O5 "dry-landers" gained permanent water rights in the salt River Valley Water Users as- sociation when Judge Lyman rendered Judgment for the plaintiffs yesterday afternoon in the superior court in the suit brought by James Aldrich and others against the association for ac- luisition of these rights.
 Twenty thousand acres of land are affected by the decision. The suit was filed originally on April 2 of this year, and the lands have subsisted during the summer by virtue of a court order issued on April 16 giving them two acre feet for the season.
 The council of the water users asso- ciation, in a bylaw passed recently, also granted temporarily the relief de- manded. The effect of the order from the superior court will be to make this ruling of the association perpetual. In ruling on the case, which has been un- der advisement since he began his va cation June 30. Judge Lyman said:
 Explains Verdict
 Tn the case of Aldrich and others against the Salt River Valley Water Users association, there may be judg- ment for the plaintiffs in such form as may be effective to give to the plain tiffs the same right to water that other persons in like condition owning land of like class now enjoy"
 The judge then expressed his reali- zation of the seriousness of his deci- sion. and of the possibility that such a decision might impose onerous respon- abilities upon the association-respon- abilities which they might not be able to meet
 He added his conviction, however, that "a large amount of water has been wasted in the valley" and that the as- sociation will be able to take care of the newly admitted "dry lands"
 Probably to Appeal
 That an appeal to the state supreme court will undoubtedly follow the de- cision of Judge Frank Lyman of the superior court yesterday, in awarding permanent water right to approxi- mately 10000 acres of so-called dry lands, was the statement of Charles Van der Veer, secretary of the Salt River Valley Wter Users association Monday afternoon.
 Although the association has not been officially advised as to the out come of the suit, 1t is probable that the case will follow the usual channel of all like cases decided in the past, i e., that 1t will probably be appealed tc the supreme court" said Secretary Van der Veer late yesterday afternoon However, no action has yet beer taken by the association in this re- spect"
 In discussing the decision, he pointed out that the ruling of Judge Lymar win have no immediate effect inas- much as the association some time aga granted these lands water for thu growing year starting October l, 1919 and ending September 30, 1920.

RATE PRETTY STIFF,

Bismarck, N. D., July 29.-'It seems
to me when we consider the license
fee on female dogs and the father
of the lowly mule that license fee
of SIS for short session Of not wea-
ther between now and the first of
January is pretty extravagant,"
writes a veteran North Dakota bar
rister in paying the state bar board
for the privilege of continuing to
practice until January 1, 1920.
The new act licensing lawyers re-
quires that they be properly tagged
on or before August 1. Inasmuch as
there was much delay in naming the
state bar board, whose membership
was announced only last Saturday, it
is possible that an open season on
unlicensed lawyers will not be de-
clared until some time later.
