Turning over by the United States
government to the stae of Arizona
Of 100000 acres of land to be dis
posed of in this state for the purpose
Of settlement and in the interest of
good roads. was one of he topics dis
cussed at the convention of the Good
Roads association at Hot Springs. 1t
vas pointed out that only 20 per cent
# Arizona privately owned. that the
word reservation as now used by
The government means all reserva-
ions. Indian and otherwise. and that
this 80 per cent Of Arizona is exempt
from tax.
Argument was presented by Ari-
IONA delegates and was based on
'esolution drafted by the Phoenix
;hamber of commerce. 1t was made
known in figures that 100000 acres
ire under irrigation and cultivation

where the Indian reservations of Ari-

Of the I. V. A. are declared to be
delegates without any election to the
position whatsoever. In addition, it
is indicated that the votes in the con-
vention must be cast by individuals
from the county, and that county
cannot send one delegate with the
proxies of the others. Voting as a
unit on the part of delegations is cor.
demned, and instruction of delegates
by the home people is objected to.
A fine dish. And all aimed at one
candidate. VIM. LANCER is the goat
they are after. Under normal condj.
lions, LANCER would run away with
any fairly-constituted convention.
Hence, about lis out of some 400 uele
gates are to be of the hand-pi Il: d
variety. Then, the convention is to
be set for an out-of-the way place.
and the strongest LANCER counties
(Which lie geographically farthest
away from Minot) must send one man
for every vote or lose the vote.
Hence, the Nestos strength can b.
easily on hand, and the LANCER
strength can suffer.
No instructions. The people at
home may want LANCER. But so,ne
individuals that go to that convention
may be traded away from him for po-
litical favors. Thee. Nelson AMI T.

Tom Shea is quoted in the Free
Press as saying that he is such a
strong admied of A. C. Townley be-
cause Townley once went to school
with Sheat and afterwards boarded at
Shea's home.
The deadly parallel.
Lynn j. Frazier once went to school
with Neil Macdonald, and roomed with
him. Since becoming governor of
North Dakota, Frazier has consist
emily fought to keep Macdonald's feet
in the state trough even though the
people had repudiated him in spite of
his league endorsement, and he had
seen fit to act the part of baby in
trying to take unfair advantage of
the woman who fairly defeated him.
Another deadly parallel.

once upon time, elected full Town.
ly county ticket two years ago. Well,
Golden Valley, North Dakota, is the
scene of Townley's flax dream, and
the home of dozens of people that he
skinned, and Golden Valley county is
the banner anti-league county of the

No man should become so wrapped
of vision that simply because he per
haps one time had chance to speak
to a person that afterwards became
famous or notorious, he will follow
that man blindly. That kind of hero

1t doesn't seem possible that such
