CROWDED "GARDEN OF ASIA"
Some Sixty Million chlnsss Live In
an Area About Half the Size

While many Of Us may feel that We
i've In exceedingly we'll populated dis
tricts, even our most crowded farming
communities are almost deserted when
compared with some sections Of China.
Take Sze-chuan, for example, says tho
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In this province some 60,0O0.O00 per-
sons live. The area Is 18l 900 square
miles. Az Sxe-chuan is surrounded
81 mountains and In some places is
bare rock Itself. about 90 per cent Of
the total area 10 impossible to culti.
vate. We find, in consequence. that
these 6O.000,000 human beings are
crowded into space less than half
the size Of Texas. and that all the food
thes eat ia grown with'n iris area.

ly true In a country like China. where
the hills must be terraced and the wa.

Yet these 100000 persons who
live In Sze-chuan never know famine,
while other parts Of China are some
times decimated through death By hun
ger In this, the garden Of Asia. is
produced nearly every vegetable and
grain we know, besides some we do
not know. The climate Is so advan-
tageous to agriculture and the soil is
so rich that hne foods are easily
raised. The abundant rainfall, with
climatic and other conditions. provides
the water necessary for Irrigation at
certain seasons for certain purposes.
For instance. so plentiful are or.

we must remember that 30 cents In
China, especially In SEE -chuan, has
purchasing power OF many dollars In
that denseIy crowded land.

4 VERY ROTTEN LAW.

1t is indeed peculiar situation
that has again come to the surface
in Washington in the matter Of
contested seat in Congress. where
d Democr has been unseated at
the very close Of session Of Con-
gress. having served two years ille-
gally and having drawn his salary
the same as any other Congressman
who was entitled to his pay. And
now the contest has been decided in
favor Of his Republican opponent in
the election. and the Republican is
declared to have been defrauded Of
his rights In Congress.
1t is nothing to us that the cul-
prit is a Democrat and nothing to us
that the defrauded one is Of the op-
posing party. There should be no
political consideration in the prem
ises. The fact. as established by the
various hearings during the past two
years, is that Congressman Mclean
obtained his seat in the House by
means OF election frauds. and that
he has illegally drawn his compen-
sation during two years; anti 1t
seems that Congress recognizes the
TACT that the defrauded one is enti-
tied to have received this salary.
The defrauding one has been paid

Congress that the new Congressman
is rghtfully the one to draw the sal
ary pocketed by Mclean, but there
should be some way by which the
illegally chosen Pennsylvania Con-
gressman should be made to refund
every penny OF the salary and al
lowances he has received. What do
ordinary politicians care for being
stigmatized as perpetrators Of fraud
If there is no penalty attached?
There is something extensively
rotten with our system OF govern
mcnt when such things can be per-
pctrated and the culprits get away
with it., not only without punish
ment. but with a handsome salary
as "bonus.' Politics and politi-
clans, from county to nation, are too
closely surrounded with "automatic
safeguards" against corrupt prac-
tees 70 become better as the years
go by. Until there Is some rigidly
enforced law against political rot
tennesscs we are going to have cor
rupt politics and corrupt politicians.
Our penitentiaries would be over
crowded to-day IL every politician
had his deserts.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.- Highest quotations of the week were regis tered in today's abbreviated but ac- tive stock market. Virtually all leaders added substantially to recent gains, showing recoveries of one to months level of depression.
 Shorts timidly resisted the move ment at the out set, but retired in disorder when the buying assumed wide proportions. Oils, equipments steels and motors were the most con spicuous stocks, rails holding back.
 Mexican Petroleum made an ex- treme rise of 5A points on confir- nation of reports that American in- terests had reached a satisfactory agreement with Mexico. Shares of pany. also strengthened.
 Baldwin and American locomo- lives, General Electric. Bethlehem, Crucible and United States Steels, Utah Copper, American Smelling, Studebaker, American Woolen and Central Leather contributed their proportions to the diversified deal ings.
 Realizing for profits proved a strong temptation and in the final | dealings reactions of one to two especially in the several speculative groups. Sales 535.00o shares.
 Another slump in German ex- change, which forced the mark under one cent and the August report of the United States Steel corporation disclosing another decrease of nearly BOG, 900 tons in thrilled orders were among the days incidents. Last weeks nominal deficit in actual clearing house reserves was cancelled by an increase of cash ap- proximating s17,000.000. Actual loans and discounts were reduced by about SS,400, 900.
 The bond market was active and strong in the more important issues Liberties, however, showing only trifling changes. Total sales, par value. $5675000.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Events of the week in the financial and com modities market tended mainly to heighten the impression prevalent in quarters that the recession of the past eighteen months had ended.
 Further recovery of prices syn chronized with statements from pro- fessional shorts. These stressed the belief that the period of deflation had exceeded the limits of safety and that the country was on the eve of another era of prosperity.
 Washington and other official and unofficial points of information and observation had similar sentiments. These were buttressed by evidences of increased production in such basic industries as the steel and textile trades.
 The further rise in cotton was hailed with satisfaction. Hopes were entertained of a speedy release of in that staple.
 Active buying continued in the bond market, that list for the most part reflecting better tone than any but the more seasoned or represen- tative stocks. New offerings were so freely taken as to justify the opinion that investors had thrown off their postwar timidity.
 Larger sums of money were avail able at fairly easy quotations for 6t and 90 days, but bankers intimated l that moderate stringency might en- sue in the coming week, when heavy | income tax payments mature.
 The foreign situation was ex- pressed in terms of exchange as ths
 most disconcerting development O l the week. Sharp depreciation O l marks to an unprecedented level con firmed private advices reSpectin: Germany's internal affairs. Weak ness of Belgian and Italian rates, al l well as those of several of the new | nations, notably Poland. was indica | tive of greater economic strain.

FARMERS DISCUSS
 PICKING PROBLEM

CHANDLER, Sept. 10-The Chand- Ter farm bureau had the best attend ed meeting of the summer Thursday night in the chamber of commerce room. The purpose of the meeting was to thresh out the cotton picking problem for the district so that the president, O. H. Kunee, could know what stand to take in the county meeting at Phoenix Saturday. c. K. Gordon, last years president of the Arizona Cotton Growers association which handled labor, gave report on the standing of that organization and the estimate it had fixed as the prob able cost to get labor this year. He stated that organization was willing to turn everything which it had over to the farm bureau to carry on the work. It was estimated labor would cost $1.50 per bale, and the immigra- tion commissioner has estimated it will require 5000 pickers in addition to the present supply.
 Some farmers were aganst the bale tax, while others wanted the Pima cotton Growers association to handle it. Others talked of raising the price so that it would automatically bring in more pickers. A final motion was passed to the effect that the farm bureau should see that labor was fur nished through some kin of an organ ization and that a bale tax of s1.50 be levied.
 Home From Coast Justice of the Peace D. NJ. Arnold and Mir. and Mrs. Rich Singleton have returned to Chandler after spending a couple of months touring the Pacific coast.

CHICAGO BOARD

CHICAGO, Sept. 10-Fresh strength developed in the wheat market today owing largely to upturns in the value of cotton and stocks. May delivery of wheat reached the hiphest price yet this season. Heavy profit talk ing sales took place, but had only a transient effort. Opening quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to %c higher. with December $1.35K to 1.36A and May s1.41k to S1.42, were followed by gains all around, interrupted temporarily by sharp setback.
 Railroad embargoes on shipments of grains from Georgian bay to Mon treal weakened the corn market. After opening A c lower to 3sc higher. including December at 56 to 56A, the market underwent a material general sog.
