RALPH oracle POST
HOLDS REGULAR MEET
Committee Appointed to Con
fer~With Local. Bankers
on Bonus Payments

That those ex-seryice men who
desire to receive their bonus from
the state of Minnesota at small dis
count to cover the cost of handling,
the Ralph Oracle post of the Amer
lean Legion in session last night voted
to appoint special committee to
call on the local bankers in an en-
deavor to make such arrangements
as are being made in other cities to
provide for the payment of the bonus
to those who may wish it before &C.
ton of the state legislature will sup
ply additional money Tor the bonus
fund. This committee, it is thought,
will make it possible for those who
have not already been paid to receive
their money within short time by
merely paying the local bankers about
1915 per hundred dollars.
Some ex-service men may desire to
wait until the state has sufficient
money in this fund with the idea
that the principal may draw interest
at the rate of 5 per cent, while others
may be glad to have the opportunity
of getting their money right away
1t will be entirely optional with each
man as to whether he wants to secure
his bonus in this way, the post in
tending only to make it possible for
him to do so. :.
Further announcements were made
concerning the arrangements for the
celebration on Armistice Day and In
view of the fact that the next regular
meeting night of the post falls on No.
vember II, it was decided to hold a
meeting on Tuesday, November 8,
that final arrangements for the recep-
ton Of all visiting ex-service men
might be made.
The wearing of uniforms during
the Armistice Day celebration was
discussed and it was decided that this
proposition be left entirely to the
individual member although it is
recommended that all eX-service men
appear in uniform. 1t is believed that
the majority will do this and all visit
ing ex-service men may do as they
see fit although it is believed that
several delegations from nearby
towns are planning to come here in
uniform.
Following the close Of the business
meeting the entertainment committee
took charge and all. present enjoyed
an exceptionally good athletic pro.
gram, featuring Dick Franklin
Thomas Tibbetts, Clayton Johnson
Young Peterson and Joe Saddler.

COMPILING REPORT
 0N CONDITIONS IN
 REGARD ID DRY LAW

Completing a general survey of the southern part of the state. W. T.. Webb, state director for the enforce ment of prohibition. has returned to Phoenix to compile his report This will be the first report Mir. Webb has made since his appointment to office, and will be submitted to Prohibition Commissioner Kramer.
 Mir. Webb staed yesterday that his report would touch upon general con- ditions in the state and the attitude of local officers in the matter of the enforcement of prohibition.
 The director said that in most in- stances the officers were doing their best to enforce the law. and in the exceptional cases where they. were not his agents would step in and take matters in their own hands.
 Mr. Webb refused to name the off, cers he considered not doing their ut most in the enforcement of prohibit tion. He declared he was too new in office himself to offer any criticism.
 Tn many of the counties where tke officers are doing their best to uphold the law we are still finding violations said Webb. "One reason for this is that the officers are handicapped by a lack of expense money to conduct their investigations. In that particu- lar we have the advantage of them and are alawys ready and willing to cooperate where we can be of any aSsistance.
 Webb will remain in town a few days, leaving next week for the north, where he will look over the prohibition situation.

A permit has been secured from the corporation commission, which entities the company to do business in this state and which signifies that the interests of all policy holders are thoroughly protected by the laws of the state.

provement, and betterment Of the diff ferent enterprises and communits.
 The expense of the organization of the Phoenix National Life Insurance company has been less than that of any insurance company ever organized in this state or in any other state, as far as we have been able to learn. The same conservative methods will be employed in the management of the company as well. Every share of the cOmpanys stock is owned by our own citizens and the company has been or ganized and not promoted.
 ''The organizers. who are the present managers of the company, are among the heaviest stockholders, and intend to leave. nothing undone to make their investment profitable. In doing this. the other stockholders will share equally in the profits of the company, the laws of the state being such that it is impossible for them to do other wise.'

INTEREST IN WATER PROJECTS
 SHOWN BY PUBLIC

Fhirty-one applications for water diversion rights and i6 applications for impounding permits have been granted by State Water Commissioner ". :. Norviel during the period oI less than .. year since his office was created. The commissioner says the public is showing a lively interest in developing the states irrigation resources.
 Among the permits for impounding systems are some involving the ex- penditure of millions of dollars, and several important projects for divert ing existing waters are mentioned.
 Among the diversion projects are some of comparatively small financial importance. but they are of great in terest to the commissioner, as he is particularly eager to encourage the projects that need most encourage ment. The big projects, he says, are able to take care of themselves
 One rancher has just received a per init for conserving a bit of annual spring water that will be sufficient for irrigating about 15 acres of land. At present the water makes a spring time creek that runs off into the river. The -ancher, A. Y- Clark, is Mohave county cattleman, and the location he mentions is near the so-called Cave Bed springs. which he terms the Cane Bed springs. He specifics a town ship that Commissioner NorvieI did not know existed, township No. A, Ol INiiISe west 8 CloSe lnSpeCllOn of the best maps shows that the north line of township No. Al does not quite reach the northern boundary of the state, not by approximate tely one-quar- -er of a mile, so the state has a tiny strip along the north that is sur .eyed as township No. 42.
 The commissioner says he is par Icularly deSirous Of promoting the smallest irrigation projects that are practicable. Another project, merely sufficient to conserve a small quan- .ity of water for stock purposes, is granted to Benjamin Swapp, cattle man. in the great kaibab forest re- serve that is somewhere near the Grand Canyon and is a region too wild and unsurveyed to designate. This permit will require an additional federal per- init. Swapp will build a small con crete dam there to catch and retain snow water

SHOWS SAFE
 CONDITION OF BANK

Arizona cotton lands jumped in value from $100 an acre to S400 and $500 an acre in the two-year period from 1917 to the end of 1919, according to the Valley banks report issued by the federal reserve board. The report, on file with the state auditor by virtue of mutual agreement for the transfer of bank reports, shows the bank to be in a very satisfactory condition and it verifies thereby the findings of the state banking department It is made by the federal reserve bank examiner at San Francisco.
 A paragraph of the report reads:
 There are no unsafe or unsound ten dencieS apparent to me examiner. The great development and profit of the cotton industry has jumped land values from S100 per acre in 1917 to S400 and $500 per acre in 1919 with leases pay ing from $40 to $60 per acre for 1920. but inasmuch as the land is quickly ex- hauSted by continuous cotton growing and crops must be rotated, the banks are alive to the situation and promise not to recognize the inflated values as . basis of loans or credit.
