cut up by deep canons or where noun
tain ridges obstruct the view, or in
flat country that affords no good
points of vantage, are often unable to
pick up fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately.
For precise location the system in use
depends on triangulation through re-
ports telephoned from separate obser-
vation points. Airplanes, however, can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordinates in the same way that gun
fire in war is directed to particular
spot.
Experiments made in bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
in this direction. Bombs charged with
suitable chemicals for extingiushing
fires have been used with good results.
At present the only observation bal
loon used in connection with forest
fire patrolling is the one maintained at
the Arcadia field, near Los Angeles.
This balloon is sent alOft to height
Of about 5000 feet and remains there
from a. m. until p. m. In case of fire
report from the balloon observer Is
telephoned to the army balloon school
and transmitted to the forest service
at Los Angeles. Another plan to be
tested later in the summer is trans
porting fire fighters by dirigibles from
which ladders can be lowered to the
ground.
Outlaw Cotton Fields.
The airplane to spy out hidden cot
| ton fields has proved successful. 1t is
the result of an experiment carried out
by the federal horticultural board Of
the department of agriculture. In
southern Texas. where the devastat-
ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the United States
from Mexico. there are cotton-free
zones, declared by law as barriers
against the progress of the worm. But
few misguided farmers feel that
their rights have been infringed and
have developed tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much of the
country is heavily timbered. roads IRE
neither plentiful nor good in many pla.
ces, and it has been possible for an
outlaw planter to tuck away few
acres Of cotton in some nook of the
woods beyond probability of discovery
by ordinary means. though the depart
ment of agriculture has been making
dligent efforts to spot every stalk OF
cotton in the quarantined areas.
Last year when workers of the fed
eral horticultural board were on the
ground, they tried out the airplane fol
scouting work. In this way Inspector
Hensiey of the board discovered sew
en- outlaw cotton fields in the heavily
wooded country along the Trinity riv
er and around Galveston bay whict
had escaped discovery.

MOTOR VEHICLE LAW.
Three New Amendments Are Added
 to Law, Effective June I2, 1919.

THE BORDER VIDETTE has re- ceived letter from Secretary of State Simms, enclosing a pam phlet containing the amendments to the Motor Vehicle Law, pass ed by the recent session of the legislature and which went into effect June 12, 1919.
 The three amendments are given here, as follows:
 Chapter 62 (Sub Senate Bill 134) This amendment provides that before the Secretary of State can issue a license and deliver number plates to any person, firm or corporation in the State of Arizona, they must have a certificate from their county as- sessor, stating that the personal property tax on their motor vehicle has been paid for the current year, or is secured by real estate in their county.
 Chapter 156 Senate Bill 17D. This amendment provides that persons driving automobiles. or auto trucks on any State high way must use the full arm signal to indicate whether they are turning to the left or right. On enclosed motor cars, an automa tic signal must be used when it is not possible to use the arm.
 Chapter 172 (House Bill No. 140. This amendment divides the license year into quarterly
 
 ing for license between January 1st and March 31st must pay the full annual license, and those applying for license later in the year, must pay for the un- expired quarters of the year.
 These three amendments were passed for the better operation and enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Law of the State. The one requiring the personal prop erty tax to Ge paid before license can be issued by the Sec retary of State, is an innovation and is not generally understood by the persons applying for licenses; as a consequence much delay is caused in issuing licen- Ses on account of the length of time it takes to get the certiti- cate from the assessor.
 Each assessor has the certif- cates in his office, and much time would be saved if persons who want motor vehicle licenses would provide themselves with such certificates before applying to the Secretary of State for a motor vehicle license.
 Sincerely yours,
 MT SIMMS,
 Secretary of State.

Unless they ale brought to

Unless they ale brought to their senses by the American people, who will be the ultimate victims of this iosane policy of malice and meanness, there Is an excellent chance not only that the United States will come out of the war with the open hos tility of the great nations of the world, but that there will be an actual coalition against us. That is what the Lodges are inviting.
 "The Shantung affair is only one case in point. Granting the substantial justice of the Chinese demands, the fact remains that it was Japan, not China, which busted Germany from Shautuug at time when this assistance was invaluable to the Allied cause. Japan had promised to restore to China everyt thing ex. cept the German railway and mining concessions, and the League of Nations provides a tribunal under which these pledges can be enforced. Tbe OohSh OJ OSddUS CULT mittee admittedly provides no relief to China. It was not taken to provide relief. The Chinese case was used only as means of muddling the treaty and in creasing the difficulties of the situation with which President Wilson must deal.
 If there is any difference be. tween the spirit of the German Junkers and the spirit of Henry Cabot Lodge and his niue Re- pu blican associates, we should like to know what it is. Both were ready to plunge the world into war to gain their place in the sun and both were equally of the conSe quences. With civilization still in political turmoil and in a sta te of economic chaos, these Sena tors calmly create new causes of disSen tion and seek to make a final settlement impossible eX- cept by a new appeal to arms.
 Junaeftum in Berlin is bad enough, but Junkertum in the United States Senate is intoler- a ble."

SENATOR WINSOR FOR THE
 PEOPLE,.
Secretary of State.

It is the policy of this paper not to indulge in personalities and to deal sparingly in it's criti- cism of individuals. There are issues big and important enough to command our attention.
 On the other hand we are more than glad to command any one who periodically devotes his energies to public service. Un- der this heading we mention Senator Winsor, whose splendid ability has often been brought into play in behalf of the people of this state.
 He has recently returned to Yuma from Washington, D. O., where he has been spending some months in behalf of large irrigation project for the Yuma Mesa. Through Senator Win sor's efforts Congress has pass ed the necessary legislation for the construction of this project. This means forty or fifty thous- and acres of barren land turned into farms for thousands of hap py homes.
 This is what you can call con- structive work. This is what will make a greater Arizona.
 In this connection we might mention another notable achleve- ment of Senator Winsor's. We refer to the attempt of the Santa Fe to exchange thousands of acres of absolutely worthless land farming and grazing land in the southern part. When the Santa Fe was built the govern ment gave it every other section of land through which their right of way ran. An exchange of thousands of acres of this land, not worth ten cents an

SIGNS EXTRA SESSION PLEDGE.

Governor Thos. E. Campbell has signed the round robin" sent by suffrage workers to gov ernors of all states which have not yet ratified the federal wo- man suffrage amendments. The "round robin" is a pledge of the state executive signing it, to call a special session of their legislature to ratify the amend ment as soon as sufficient num- Der of other governors have pro- missed to do the same thing. In other words as soon as ratifica. tion of the federal amendment has been guaranteed by the sign ing of the round robin the vari- ous governors pledge themselves to call their respective legisla- lures in special session.
 Governor Campbell is the sec- ond governor to have signed the "round robin,'' Governor Ste- phens of California being the first. The Arizona executive has gone so far as to inquire into the cost of an extra session of the legislature lasting one day. An estimate prepared by the state auditor places the expense of one day session at between $3OOO and $4OOO.

acre, for valuable land, was about to be consummated. MT. Winsor was On the State Land Com mission. He went to Wash ingtOn and single handed fought and won this fight for the people of this state. The logic and force of his arguments were SO telling that the Secretary of the Interior made a ruling against any future land exchanges of this nature.
 We merely mention these two incidents to show that while Senator Winsor has been labor ing for the upbuildfng of Ari- zona, doing those things that will mean thousands of new citi- zens and increased wealth and prosperity for this state, his chief critics have been those who have been exploiting the state, taking millions of her wealth forever from out of her bounds. s.-Tucson Post.

"The American people will have to pay for the windows broken by Senator Lodge and his frienzied partisan associates on the Committee on Foreign Relations. They may as we'll make up their minds to that first as last," says the New York World.
 Continuing, the World says: Tt is not possible for part of the treaty making power of the United States wantOnly to insult government after government and nation after nation without working irreparable mischief to all the foreign relations of this country. While all Americans know that Lodge and his asso- ciates are merely playing poli tics against the President. we have no right to expect other people to dismiss this sabre rattling as merely one of the hypocritical eccentricities of the | American system of govern ment.
 "The world has a right to de- mand that the United States Senate, being clothed with the authority to ratify treaties, shall be a responsible body and shall not prostitute it's power in for eign affairs to ignoble partisan uses.
 "The course that Senator Lodge and a majority of the | committee have chartered is one of complete responsibility.
 Nothing matters to them eX cept the defeat of the Presi- dent, and no disaster of which the human imagination can con ceive is too heavy a price to pay | for that.

 Every day that passes brings new proofs that President Will, son was right when he told the Senate that there can be no es cape from the effects of the war until the United States filed it's acceptance of the terms of peace with Germany; that is, until the treaty ceases to be mere me- morandum of an agreement and becomes binding contract.
 J. w. Fuquay of Gadsden was in Yuma yesterday. He made the statement that he had just begun to pick his cotton crop and that from the first picking on an acre of ground he had secured 1,8OO pounds of seed cotton. This would indicate that he would get a total yield from this crop of two bales to the acre. With such crops and the present price it is no wonder that these valley. farmers can spend their summers on the coast, coming home just in time to bank the money from their cotton cropS.-Yuma Sun.
 Senator Mulford Winsor is bet ter known as a politician and as a prospective candidate for Gov ernor than as a farmer. How ever, farming is his delight. He may grow some political thistles at times but he is a real farmer and from the soil he draws the sustenance with which he plays the political game. He owns his original homestead in Yuma valley, 16O acres of the finest land, worth $5O,OOO or more. This ranch is in high state of cultivation. He also owns 32O acres near Gadsden, also under cultivation. He owns land on the Mesa, in the south Gila val ley and up the Gila river. In fact MT. Winsor is one of Yuma's big land owners and his farming activities are very profitable Yuma Sun.
