TWO BILLS SIGNED
BY GOV. CAMPBELL

There is one perfectly good reason
why there will be fewer excuses pre-
sented to the court from those who
wish to be relieved of jury duty than
in the past, and that reason was sup
piled by Gov. Thomas Z. Campbell, who
yesterday signed senate bill 4, which
increases the jurors pay in the supe-
rior court from So to $3.50. Ten cents
a mile actually travelled Zone way)
also will be allowed. The bill was in
troduced by Hon. Charles E. McMil-
Ian of Pina1 county.
Governor Campbell also signed SEN
ate bill "A, introduced by A. J. Eddy
of Yuma county, which authorizes the
boards of supervisors to pay a re-
ward for the destruction of wild ami
mails The rewards have been fixed
by the legislature as follows: Lobos
mountain lions and pumas. $40 each
coyotes, So each; raccoons, 25 cents

We are indeed glad TO report to you

problem confronting the Mexican cot
ton piclSers in the Salt River valley
Not only have we made arrangements
10 repatriate those that were to return
10 their native land, but we have also
arranged that those Mexican cotton
pickers who have money coming tc
them for their services be paid.
We wish to advise you, governor that
the Arizona Cotton CIR -wers' associa-
ton. notwithstanding the legal defects
\ OF their contract, have agreed with the
most friendly feelings to repatriate and
. to assume the debts due the Mexican
cotton picfSers, this we think is a big
credit to the association, and it GER
tatnly proves to US that the association
is composed of honest American citi-
zens. and this we will report to Genera
Obregon, president of the Mexican Re
public.
I'VE wish TO deeply thank you for the
extreme courtesy accorded by you, AND
we wish to have you know that we APP
preciate your wonderful executive abil-

good roads workers will be introduced
before the delegates. A plan wherein
all sections of the state can Join, will
be worked out, it lis hoped.

WILL STOP WORK ON !.
W|CKENbURG BRIDGE

Work will be stopped in the Wick
enburg bridge within the next few
days according to the announcement
made yesterday by Thomas Maddox,
state engineer. Although work was
progressing at rapid rate, which gave
every indication the bridge would be
ready for use shortly, the lack of
funds has necessitated the action
taken by the highway department in
calling a. halt to the work.
The caissons on the center pier were
reported down to 40 feet below the bed
Of the stream into the hard material.
Some of the concrete work will be done
on Friday, after which the two
caissons will be sealed and all work
stopped.
This will be a disappointment to the
many who looked forward to the COM
|pletion Of the bridge. When the river
is up 1t is impossible to cross at Wick
enburg, and according to the travelling
public the river Is generally UP.

JUNIOR DEPARTMENT
FOR c. OF c. URGED

A plea to create a Junior department.
of tho chamber OF commerce In the re-
Organization scheme has been made by
a prominent citizen Of Phoenix In q
letter TO WV. Lawhon, president OF
the chamber. The letter follows:
while you are reconstructing the
chamber of commerce, why not add a
junior department. taking In the young
men of Phoenix Thi.-k of their mex
haustible pep and energy and the re-
suits they might obtain If rightly dir
rccted by the chamber.
For instance, am sure that through
their influence we would be able to do
away with the unsightly spots that now
mar the beauty of Phoenix and / am
also sure the boys would not fail to re-
mind the health seekers that it is
against the law to expectorate on the
streets and sidewalks. This one thing
alone has. to my knowledge, driven fine
people away from Phoenix.

his supplies do not stop, otherwise his

instead of producing 1000 tons of cane
a caballeria of land he will be producing

ECONOMIC SITUATION IN CUBA.

We have been asksdto publish the
following extract of a letter by Mr.. A,
], Thompson, of Havana, to the "Lousi-
ana Planter" which carries moral
and tells a good tale.
Last season | saw a young negro who
had lust received $50 as a cane cutter
for work of probably two weeks. He
wore patent leather shoes, white flannel
trousers. a straw hat with a silk band
and a gold ring and stick pin. With
his $50. he bought at the plantation
store ten silk ties at So each and two
bottles of perfume at $40 a bottle,
Another instance of some Of the past
economic errors of Cuba came to
nv attention during one of my long
horseback rides through the interior.
About noon one day we came to a
little hut with an earthen floor. The oc-
cupants were a man of about SO and
his wife four children.
NV companion and myself asked for
a little coffee, intending TO proceed on
our Journey afterward; but in the truly
DELIGHTFUL manner of the Cuban guaJlro
farmer) he insisted on our d~lSmOuntlng
and entering his hut. The family
had lust had their almuerzo moon meal
and on the rough nailed boards constr
tutine the dining table were a package
of cut g from Brooklyn, two emp
Nv cans of the finest homeless French sar-
dimes on olive oil, empty cans OF breast
of chicken, three empty cans OF Call
fornia giant asparagus, two glass Jars
of costly American bacon and a TIN OF
Golden rusks. These things are expen-
Sive enough in any big city IN the Uni
ted States, hut to find them in the IN
, 1921-10-15

terror of the island of Cuba means that
they cost the consumer about three times
the original retail price.
After coffee the farmer said he would
accompany US to the town, about eight
miles away and begged minute or two
delay while he chased round and caught
a pig. He lied its legs with heavy
cord (made in the United States) lifted
it on his saddle (made in the United
States) and SC joined Us for the j0nr-
ney to the tow store.
This man carried the pig to the store
and sold ii for cash, and with this cash
in the same store, he loaded his sad
die bags with tins of sausages made in
Chicago, tins Of lard. rice, more bacon in
glass jars, ink fish in cans, pate e fOis
gras, French peas and preserved Cali
fornia fruits.
This is only one instance Of the econ
omic errors of the people and for which
they are now paying the piper. But
this man still has his wonderful land
and still grows his rich cane All he
asks for now is the money to pay his
laborers SO as to harvest the ane and
keep the fields clean of weeds.
During the recent high prices Of sugar
conditions in Havana reflected the Opu-
lence of sugar formers. They poured into
the city, where some of them walked on
sidewalk for the first time in their lives.
Their pockets we're full of gold and
their heads devoid of any sane methods
of handling it.
They bought high-priced American
and foreign automobiles and paid liveried
chauffeurs their own price to drive them
with gasoline at "a cents a gallon.
A farmer entered the largest diamond
stores in Havana. He was wearing the
typical Panama hat of the country folks
the rest Of his custom was a blue shirt
with pockets like a coat and with the
tails outside his trousers and a stiff
starched pair of crude linen trousers
creased down the sides and a pair Of
screaming new yellow shoes which
squeaked at every step of his stocking
less feet He said to the attendant:
Il have no jewelry Of any kind, and |
want to get fixed up"
He selected a jewelled gold watch, a
pearl and platir um chain, two hand
some Oriental sapphire and diamond
rings, a beautiful pearl and diamond
scarf pin and a gold and diamond cigar
cite case.
