AR|z0NA'S NEED OF ADDITIONAL JUDGE
 EXPLAINED

Washington, D. C., April 15-The hearings before the house committee on the judiciary on the bill to provide an additional district judge for the United States court in Arizona have just been printed. In the course of his argument in support of the prompt enactement of this measure Congress- man Carl Hayden said:
 'The population of Arizona has doubled in the past ten years, and the state is the fifth in area in the union yet neither the number of people nor the size of the state are vital factors. The demand for an additional federal judge for the district of Arizona is primarily based upon the volume of business pending before the United States court, which is so great that no single judge, however able, could possibly keep his work up to date, even with the assistance of such other Federal judges as are from time to time temporarily assigned to assist him. There have been occasions when two outside judges we1e holding court in Arizona in addition to our own judge, yet all three of them caused no appreciable reduction in the number of cases awaiting trial.
 Favorably Reported
 '1n the last congress this committee favorably reported to the house bill providing for an additional federal judge in Arizona. The bill was plac- ed upon the calendar for unanimous consent, and a memDer of congress from Indiana objected to it's conside- ration. When afterwards inquired of him as to why he did so, the gentle man said that the state of Indiana, with a population of 3,000.000 had but one federal judge and he could see no possible reason why a three or four hundred thousand people in Ari-

zona would require the services of two judges.
 q then explained 70 him, as I want to make clear to the members of this committee, how different the actual conditions are in Arizona and in Indi- ana or any other of the states in the east where all the land has passed into private ownership. Seventy-five per cent of the area of Arizona is to- day under the control of the federal government On July 1, 1919, there were 2O,714, ,7S5 acres of vacant public land in my state. Congress has made it a crime to fence the public domain, and there are numerous statutes affect ing it, which cause issues to arise that can only be determined in the fe- deral court
 Then tribes of Indians, numbering over 44,50O souls, reside in Ar1zona, and 2Os714, ,7S5 acres of land has been set aside for their benefit. As wards of the government, the rights of these Indians must be protected by the fe- deral court.
 Great Forest Reserves.
 Forest reserves to the extent of 12,,O76,6 ,6S9 acres have been created in Ar1ZOnd. III k6epluS WILL tue pOllCy of conservation, trespassing upon National forest is made a crime tri- able before the federal judge.
 Under the reclamation law $19,2 PAS, 199 had been expended up to June 30, 1919, in the construction of the Salt River and Yuma irrigation projects in Arizona; all of which was to be repaid by the water users. There is now pending before the federal court a suit to determine whether the Unit ed States can collect several million dollars of this money.
 But I have not recited all of the federal activities in my state, which inevitably increase the business be- fore United States court. The repub- lie of Mexico bounds Arizona on the south, and poorly guarded interna- tional line encourages smuggling and violation of the immigration laws. Such cases, together with persons charged with shipping arms and am- munition into Mexico in violation of the proclamation of the president, take up much of the time of the federal court.
 Tt goes without saying that the fe-

REGISTRATION LAW IS
SUBJECT OF CHALLENGE
Grand Mound Resident Asks Supe-

Accept Offer to Register.

Suit has been brought by John
Annette of Grand Mound asking for
ia writ of mandamus to compel the
registration officer of his voting pre-
cinct to record his name in the reg

Annette's demand on the Grand
Mound clerk ran counter to a statute
adopted by the legislature which pro-
vtdes that a person born outside the
United States must present the nat
uralization papers of his father to
prove his right to American citizen

The complaint says that the par

The first nomination was that of
Gen. Leonard Wood. AS the roll

Governor Allen came forward to
nominate General Wood. He re-

there was general call for silence
and Allen swung into his address.
Allen presented Woods case
like man engaged in vigorous
argument with an invisible oppo

his every gesture and he cut right
into the applause, not waiting for
it to subside. Allen held his glass

THE country is fast waking up to

economists have been preaching the
doctrine for months and have given
warning over and over again that
reckless spending could not continue
indefinitely. Sentiment. not only in
banking circles but throughout the
country, is gradually changing, and
the people themselves are giving a
little more attention to thrift and
economy.
Conservatism in purchases is not
stimulated by offers of bargains. The
public is evidently thinking in terms
of lower prices. That is all right as
far as it goes. 1t will have to think
in terms of increased production in
order to give permanency to a lower
level. Buyers cannot rush in and
clean up stocks and then spend their
time in wishing for another decline"

completed, or about to be completed.

crystallized at a meeting of those af-
fected, which was held a week ago.
At this meeting many tale of woe
was unfolded, and as sequel to the
exposures and explosions resulting
there is now being prosecuted care

the steps leading up to the improve

portioning the costs of the work, and
Of the claim that extra-legal action
has been taken by officials in forcing
upon unwilling property owners al
unnecessary and highly expensive
street improvement.
The Improvement in question has
been subject of controversy for
several years. and it is said that an
tagonisms thus aroused have had q
tendency to impel interested parties
to put through this improvement
without full and fair consideration Of
the rights of opposing parties.
Dame rumor has been exceedingly
busy in setting afioat stories about
what will develop from an expert in
'vestigation Of the entire matter.
It is said, for instance, that the
estimated cost of the Improvement
has been outrageously increased;
that inequalities in the assessments
levied on lots in the assessment dis
trict are fragrant; that collusion be-
tween contractors is apparent, and
that the whole proceeding relating to
the improvement shows an entire
lack Of consideration for public in
terests on the part of those charged
with official responsibility for the
work.
A partial answer to all the charges
of looseness and unfairness is the
showing that costs of material have
doubled since the original estimates
were made; that labor has doubled
in price, and that the matter has
been prosecuted under general condi-
tions which amply warrant a large
increase over estimated costs.

that there Is any data to warrant the

G. 0. P. CONSPIRACY TO
HARASS The PRESIDENT
Leaders Put Party Above Patriotism
Were Supported by Every
DislOyal Element.

Representative Edward w. Pou,
former chairman of the house rules
committee, delivered vigorous
speech in congress, charging that
even before President Wilson sailed
for the Paris conference there was a
Republican conspiracy to harass him
and weaken his influence at home
and abroad.
The partisan conspiracy against
the president, which embarrassed him
in his negotiations with foreign ma
tions at the peace conference, was
without parallel, asserted Represent
ative Pou. He referred to the intro
duction of resolutions to declare the
office of president vacant while the
president was negotiating the treaty
for the peace of the world, and Sc
verely condemned the visit to the
White House of Senator Fall, who
went ostensibly to talk about the
Mexican situation, but really to find
out how sick the president was, ac-
cording to Mr.. Pou.
On his indefensible visit, Mr.. Pou
asserted, the republican senator
found the presidents mind as "clear
as bell.''
Surely there are times when the
Of31 cjo1 hoo n ~ a nation ;s - ec;.ro..

port of all the people of the nation.
There are times when good men are
glad to discard all political differ
ences. There are times when evry
decent democrat is proud to follow a
republican president, and every de-
cent republican is proud to follow a
democratic president.
During every hour President Will
son spent in Europe, he was entitled
to such unstinted support. but it
seemed certain republican politicians.
even during that critical period,

'Let us not forget this: Mr.. Will

was also commander-in-c of the
army and navy and the war was still
on. The attacks upor him were just
as unwarranted as the attack of
soldier on his commander during

scheme was in effect conspiracy.

will explain and square with the
