The Special Session


Conjectures vary the length Of the special
session OF the legislature. 1t may be prolonged
throughout the full sixty days the consumption of
from 100000 to $4,000. But we imagine that the
taxpayers, already heavily laden would inquire which
party, if either likely to become more RESPONSE
BILE than the other. had brought about such costly
extension Of the session.
Among the Democratic leaders there some
who favor an extremely short session the necessary
appropriation the university without the need of
which there would have been no CALL and then
adjournment They profess to in long session
lurking pitfalls for the Democratic party. They
son that if the governors recommendations for re-
form should rx carried out the Republican party
would be put into stronger position. But if the
session should be extended and Democratic opposi
ton to those reforms should become drawn out
to attract public attention, the Democrats would be
held to blame.
But there will be the usual popular demand for
legislation on all possible subjects. Those members
who expect to become candidates again may have
designs on more lucrative offices will have to lend
an ear to constituents that the hopper of the
legislative mill will likely be kept full The subject
Of constitutional amendments, if it is undertaken,
may be expected to be tme-consumng.

For Our Moral Uplifting

There many ways for helping out of the
slough of despond to firm ground which
find way the higher life. One of these is the
new income tax form devised by the Republican
administration for the benefit of those whose in
comes are less than $4,000. One with of
income than that deserves to be left alone in his
misery.
1t ought to have been easier from the start for
payers of the referred arrive at
the they owe the government, but it has not
been easy for the that the old forms were
long and cumbersome and required much refer
from page to page to check up the details
Of this or that provision.
The forms look if they had been designed
by who knows how to economic time, worry
and mental effort, and who understands that the
income intended by congress be
national puzzle. The forms are clear compact and
busnesske They bound to lot of time
in the aggregate. and If the truth known they
probably will reduce the total of explosive Ian
guage unsuited for the drawing other places
where ladies are among those present Those whose
incomes net or gross, $4,000 or less constitute
a majority of all federal taxpayers.

SEEKS THE NUMBER
Of EX-SERV|CE MEN
CARED FOR IN STATE

Cooperating with the United
States Veterans bureau, Governor
Thomas f. Campbell yesterday
wrote boards OF supervisors OF the
IA counties of the state TO ascertain
how many service men without
financial means are being furnished
gratutious treatment or aid of any
character by the state.
The governor acted upon letter
received from G. r. Forbes. director
of the bureau, who wishes to be ad-
vised OF the number and who also
requests a report of the ex-service
men in the state penitentiary and
the number OF state hospitals in the
state.
In asking the information. Mr..
Forbes stated that the bureau was
exerting every effort to get in touch
with all ex-service men who have
been physically or mentally impaired
that they may be informed Of their
rights under the law.
The governor gave immediate at
tention to the matter by getting In
touch with the counties.
Asking IL these facts indicate that
the disabled ex-service man is being
neglected, Director Forbes points out
in the following what the United
States Veterans bureau is doing
Paying out over $1,000 900 in cash
every day, including Sunday, directly
into the hands OF the ex-service man
or his dependents:
Providing, without cost. hospital
care and treatment to 10000 vet
Grams. This care includes board and
lodging and represents an expendi :
ture by the government OF $6O,OOO,0OO
per annum;
Giving vocational training, without
cost, to over one hundred thousand
disabled ex-service men at an ex-
penditure for tuition and supervision
Of $40 100000 per annum;
Mailing out six hundred and fifty
thousand checks every month, rep
resenting $42,O00,000;
Conducting an insurance business
for over six hundred thousand ex-
service men without any cost of ad-
ministration to them, at premium
rates below that Of private COM
panies for like policies. Insurance
in force: Three and one-half
Conducting over fifty thousand
medical examinations every month;
Giving outside treatment in cases
where disqualification is not required
to twenty thousand ex-service men
every month;
Receiving one thousand new
claims every day, in addition TO the
million. two hundred thousand al
ready on file; employing four thous-
and service men and women IN
carrying out the work;
Requiring for 1922 expenditures IN
behalf of the disabled ex-service
man, $4,000, 900 .00-more than the
entire expenditure of the whole
United States in 1897.
The United States OF America Is
already doing more for its disabled
veterans than any country IN the
world, despite the fact that their
losses were far heavier than ours;

WEEKS REVIEW Of
THE LONG STAPLE
COTTON MARKET

The following weekly long staple
cotton market letter has been re-
ceved by The Republican from A. A.
Talmage, cotton expert with the New
Bedford, Mass, Standard:
Egyptians took another drop to-
ward the end of the week with Alex
andria quotations on Friday approxi-
mately a cent and three quarters
lower than on Wednesday or Thurs
day, and medium grade uppers suit
able for tire yarn work were freely
quoted at 25 to 26 cents while medium
grade tire yarn Sakel could be had
on a tariff paid basis as low as 3S
to 90 cents. while fairly high grades
could be bought for 39 cents tariff
paid. There were considerably cheaper
prices than these available however,
on Egyptian uppers. There were re-
ports in the market that Boston and
Providence had been dealing in mi-
dunn grade uppers at % and 23 cents,
and one New Bedford mill is said to
have bought quite a little of this kind
of cotton at the lower figure 1t was
possible also to get SAX in grades
equivalent to government class num-
Der AZ to so for 81 or 80 cents tariff
paid, while q great deal of cotton
classed as number 46 was offered at
33 cents.
Peruvians and Sea Islands were
nominally unchanged from the pue-
yious week and there were no inqui-
ries reported for either.
The past week or ten days, in fact
the past three weeks have seen quite
little interest in Pima cotton and
some buying both last week and this
week. Some Of the cloth mills have
now learned how TO handle this cot
ton and in certain instances seem to
prefer 1t to SAX of equal grade, while
few Of the yarn mills have orders
extending over a considerable period,
and having started to use Pima find
it necessary to continue its use in
this particular work so as to avoid
a variation in the yarn.
There is a great deal OF Pima
stored here and available for spot
sale in even running lots. but the
prices asked for il Just now arc
higher by several cents q pound than
some of the odd lot offerings from
other sources. For example, Il was
possible this week to buy number
two Pima for 33 TO "a cents a pound
landed less twenty-five pounds tare,
while number thrces and number
fours were offered under the 80 cent
mark, some even as low as 2e TO 27
SSHls. II was reported lnat n1mDer
ones could be had around SO cents,
but there were no firm offers OF
cotton at that figure 1t must be adj
mitted, however. that considerable
of this cheaper Pima was not OF the
fullest staple length. though 1t ranged
from inch and a half to inch and
nine sixteenths. Some OF the mills
that were looking for inch and five
eighths staple or better in number
one or number two grade found it,im-
possible to buy satisfactory cotton at
the levels quoted above and turned to
the spot stocks stored here for the
Arizona cooperative marketing as
sociation and seemed willing TO Isly
higher prices for limited quantities
Of the right kind Of cotton.

tion passed by the board of supervis
ors at a meeting held yesterday aft
ernoon Mr.. Baldwin, the supervis
ors said, will file his bond at once

STATE CONGRESS To
s. Be OF ACTIVE HELP
To AGR|CULTURISTS

The Arizona Industrial Congress
has completed arrangements to CO.
operate with the United States Bu-
reau of Markets and crop estimates
in collecting data regarding agri-
cultural conditions in the state and
distributing it to farmers, bankers
and business who find the govern
ment's crop reports Of value.
The bureau Of crop estimates in
many of the states is receiving state
cooperation in its work, being un-
able 10 distribute its data widely
owing to lack of appropriation. In
Arizona, however, there is no state
aid, with the result that the bureaus
reports do not reach more athan a
small percentage of those who would
find them useful. To remedy this
situation the Industrial congress is
taking the place Of a state agency
in Co cooperating with the bureau as
a part of its service to the people of
Arizona
The cooperation between the crop
estimates bureau and the Industrial
congress already has begun. The re-
ports on production, acreage and the
value Of the states crops for 1921,
compiled by L. NJ. Harrison, agri-
cultural statistician in charge Of the
eau O4AASGs AldNC bNNtA
mailed to all members of the Arizo-
ma Farm bureau and to a number of
business firms which will be able to
use them to advantage This service
will be continued and it is prob
able that summaries of agricultural
conditions in the state will be issued
from time to time as there is a de-
mand for them from producers, buy
ers and others.
1t is possible that later on Mr. Har-
rison and the congress will be able
to prepare special reports on the va
rious crops by counties. With the CO.
operation of the congress the statis-
tician will be able to extend his work
to give information of any kind to
any one who desires it. instead of be-
ing limited to state reports, as is
the case under the present system.
Arizona farmers and business men
have found Mr.. Harrison's data of
value to them and it is expected to
prove OF much greater value as re-
suit Of the cooperation between his
office and the Industrial congress.

LIFE UNDERWRITERS
PLAN LUNCHEON FOR
NATIONAL PRESIDENT

Plans for the luncheon to be held
at the Hotel Adams at / o'clock
Saturday in honor OF John Layton
Snuff, president of the National As
sociation of Life Underwriters, were
practically completed yesterday, IL
was announced. and the life insur-
ance men of the state are now look
ing forward to perhaps the most inn
portant gathering they have particle
pated in during the history OF the
OF chief interest during the lunch-
con will be, Of course, the address
of President Layton. who is coming
to Phoenix with a reputation ot
being not only one of the foremost
and "livest" insurance men of the
United States, but also OF being a
man OF unusual experience in many
other lines of endeavor, some of
them of the utmost importance.
Thus, he was taken from the post-
mastership of Cincinnati during the
war TO become a member of the
board which drafted the war risk
insurance act, and for several years
he has been mentioned with increas-
ing force for the presidency of the
association which he now leads.
The subject Of President Shuffs
address Saturday will be "The Ma
tional Association and It's Benefits"
and in addition, he viii give a sales
talk. The Importance of this latter
talk will be brought home when It
is remembered that President Snuff
is reputed to be the largest personal
producer for his company. the Cen
trail Union, having put more money
on it's books than any other agent
in its employ. In 1917 he wrote
: -
ance, in addition to making "a trips
from Cincinnati TO Washington.
The luncheon Saturday is to be
attended by insurance men from
every section of the state, and with
those from the Salt River valley II

without question the finest assembly
of life insurance writer's ever held
in the Southwest.

The committee of the chamber of

ward looking persons who are inter
ested in the growth and prosperity of
Arizona. The purpose of the meeting
is 10 lay before the public facts
which, 1T must be conceded, are of
vital and far reaching Importance to
the state.
The occasion will be town meet
ing and open forum in which George
II. Maxwell, representing the Ma
tional Reclamation association. who
has devoted more than 20 years to an
examination of the problem, will pre-
sent detailed plan for the develop
ment of the Colorado river for irri-
cation power and flood protection.
In addition to his address there will
be an entertainment program in
which special effort has been made

terest.
To Show Big Map
The map of the Colorado river
project, which has been made by
Howard Reed and Sheldon X. Baker
for the chamber. of commerce for use
at the open forum meeting tonight,
was completed and the plates made
yesterday. The copies will be printed
today for distribution at the meeting
tonight. This map shows only the
data which is obtainable from gov
ernment reports. but will not under
take to show the route of the pro-
posed high line canal.
The large map being made by Eu-
L.. .alN
as can be exhibited from the stage,
will show an outline OF the profile OF
the Colorado river in Arizona. It will
show the location of the Glen Canyon
reservoir, the Arizona Grand Canyon
power project, the Diamond Greek
dam, the Boulder Canyon reclamation
reservoir, the Arizona cut off the FL
Dorado power project, the high line
canal, and the three cut off canals
similar TO the one furnishing water TO
the power plant opposite Tempe,
which is a part of the Salt River pro-
ject These three cut off canals will
be called respectively the Yuma short
line, the Sentinel short line and the
Gillespie short line. Each will be not
only an irrigation canal, but also a
power canal and they will largely
supplement- the intermittent power
The Yuma short line canal will even
tually bring an immense area ad-
jacent to Yuma under irrigation by
gravity and do away with the inter-
vening necessity for pumping onto
the mesa
Any one interested in knowing the
results of this preliminary investiga-
tion should not fail to attend the
meeting and see this map showing
the route of the Arizona high line
canal, which has been made with
view to showing the imperative ne
cessitysfor q survey in the field, but
which it is believed is substantially
accurate and the route il lays out is
believed by Mr. Maxwell 10 be entire
ly practicable. According to this
map, the Arizona high line canal will
flow into the Hassayampa river with
a cross cut for power and irrigation
empt;ing into the Gila river at the
Gillespie dam.
