Leased In Perpetuity For Song

How can these lands be made to produce a large revenue for the sup port of our public schools and our university and normal schools and for the education of your children and mine? Certainly not by tying
 them mp into few vast estates and leasing them for song for an inde-
 finite period.
 Arizona has been heralded abroad
 as the land of opportunity. We have boasted that young men and women
 could come here without any of
 this worlds goods and with only the strength and ambition of youth and
 with in q few years amass a com petence. Are you going to put up
 the bars and wipe out for a' genera ton or more these opportunities.
 When the men who answered the call to the colors and risked their lives for all of us came back from overseas there was considerable talk about what the country was going to do for them in the way of assisting them to secure public lands capable oi agricultural development There arc many such lands in Arizona, but if we tie them lip in leases for an indefinite period and at a nominal rental what chance will the service man ever have to get his rightful share of this herit- age?
 The decision of this question as to we, the people of Arizona. are going to allow continuation oi this vicious leasing system and there by close the doors to opportunity, lies with you. The land board of Arizona consists of the governor, the secretary of state, the treasurer, the auditor and attorney general. They appoint the land commissioner and they deter mine the land policy
 Simms Is Responsible.
 Unfortunately as your governor l | have been on the minority on that board or this vicious leasing system would have been changed ere this. My opponent for governor, now sec -etary of sttae, who has been serving 1n this land board, stands for the pres mt land-leasing policy. the results of which l have described to you. With he support of the present treasurer, who is candidate for secretary of state, md the present attorney general who s a candidate for reelection, they lave succeeded in continuing in effect his policy by which q few outfits are ,obbling up this prize heritage of ,ours and closing the door of oppor- unity to thousands of new citizens yho are coming into this state at the anne time, robbing you of the rightful avenue which you should be receiving TOlll lUNS SOulCC. lS lt any NCAAhNA ! hen that these big outfits all over Arizona are fighting me? The men nost to blame, however, are these ,laced in charge of the administra- ion of this great heritage for the ben fit of you who own it and who are unfaithful to their trust ,
 l understand that my opponent is ccepting full responsibility for this policy. He could not yell do otherwise, since as member 4 f the land board he has gone on rec Il rd many times in support of it ana r ince his principal bacLers in this { are the men who hay prof ted by it. r

 State Land Department
 Phoenix. Ariz, May 3, 1920.
 Hon. w. A. Mouer Confidential state land commissioner, Phoenix, Arizo.) Dear sir, this communica- ton is for you alone. The dissatis- faction throughout the state and the numerous complaints coming daily to each of the undersigned against the administration of the state land department. has been borne patiently by each of LIS with the daily hope of overcoming said complaints. That hope is now abandoned, and the complaints against the land depart ment and the actions of some of your subordinates within the last few weeks have rendered it impossible for us to postpone any longer this letter which is addressed to you with the utmost courtesy. That courtesy which is due to you cannot permit us to refrain from announcing that present conditions as to the admins tration of the land department can not longer be condoned. We realize that vour condition of heal has caused vou to leave to others in the service many things which would ave received your official attention had your strength enabled you to give it such attention. Our associa- tions with you and your subordinates have made palmer day by day the necessity of this letter. We appre- ,iate your worth as a citizen and an official, but we know that you physl- cal condition has prevented you from giving that close attention which your official station requires, in supervis- ;ng acts of your most responsible The undersigned have consulted at numerous times togeth- CT with the hope that the deplorable conditions existing in the land de- might be overcome without the necessity of the request which now make, but that hope has now been totally overcome. The state land commissioner holds merely at the desire of the appointing power to wit, the state land department, composed of the five state officers in the public land code. A i change can be made at any moment.
 From the foregoing you Will un- derstand the necessity now existing which calls upon Us, request your l. It is needless for us to express the feeling of regret which , you know possess each Of us at this moment. The Members ot the state land department are wholly re- ,ponsible for the administration ot he department as you are well aware, vet we feel that our friendly rela- lions with you should find expres- sion as above set forth.
 Most Respectfully, members ot

CONVOY WAS ATTACKED

Reports of Admiral Gleaves and, the French general staff left no doubt that there were submarines in the vicinity and that the convoy was attacked, he said.
 The convoy system was originally sponsored by the American navy. and was. not proposed by the British and held up until the navy departments acceptance could be obtained. as as- serted by Admiral Sims, said Secretary Daniels. It was not adopted until sew eral months after the United States en- tere the war because it was necessary to wait until American vessels arrived overseas before the system could be placed in effect, he said.
 The Secretary took exception to Ad- miral Sims attempts to give the Brit ish most of the credit for carrying American troops overseas and protect ing them en route"
 He declared that nearly 50 pei cent of Pershing's soldiers were carried in American ships. and that more than so per cent of the protecting forces were ENTHUSIASTICALLY tHe CHlteu Stdles navy.

Washington, May 13.-CongreSS was asked today to help the railroads over come the freight congestion so as to keep production-needed to put down the cost of lving-going full tilt. As means of, enabling the roads to provide equipment, shortage of which is said to be largely responsible for failure to move oceans of freight piled high at the principal gateways in the east and middle west. the Senate interstate commerce commit tee approved an amendment to the trans portation act under which they woult be given fifteen years instead of five to pay back advances under the $500 ,O00 900 revolving fund.
 Railroad officials said this woud help but they pointed out that the immediate trouble called for heroic measures to re- lieve. congestion, and that the carriers for instar ce, required 226,000 cars to reach normal.
 While most of the roads were swamped with freight at junction points and DIE ga teways, American Railroad Association officials said a perceptible improvement was shown by reports received from all sections Complaints still came from shippers, however. and the car service committees of the association, which di- rect the car movement, endeavored to allocate equipment to sections ana 1hous- tries in greatest need of it.
 PASSENGER SERVICE NORMAL
 There was no embargo on the move ment of coal, live stock and perlshapies and these commodities had preferential rating and right of way next to passeh- ger train service. which thus far mas nov been affected. Government agencies Tn touch with the transportation put forth every effort to help relieve the sltuatioh, admittedly bad, but not quite so pau as week or ten days ago.
 Demands for coal were general 1nls was kent moving, while orders were is- suad for the quick despatch of cars to the northwest for shipment of grain ana refrigerator cars for California ana Florida to take care of perishahes'
 The south seemed to be the only sec ton free of congestion, the roads report-

At the Potomac yards here, the south- ern gateway used by all lines in and out of Washington officials reported that g. 800 cars were handled.
 The movement north and south was about equally divided, but the northward flow stopped suddenly at midnight last night by an embargo on all except the three favored commodities. Freight Of fcals said they hoped to see daylight ahead by the middle of next week.
 Particular attention was given to the New England situation. because Of re- ports that the tie-up was general and that the number of cars waiting to be moved now exceeds 5000 Swamped as they are at some points, officials said 1t was natural to expect confusion, especial ly with shortage of labor, which has seriously retarded work at functions.
