session, and as the first step will call
it to the attention of the Bureau OF
the Budget. There will be a meeting
between the park officials and the
Budget Bureau officials within a short
time, when this matter will be dis
cussed at great length.
The stipulation of Congress appar
emily was the outcropping of a feel
ing that the Government WAS paying
too much for land in the District. and
should not be made the party to as
sisting in the initiation of land prices.
On the other hand, ii has been pointed
out that Congress has set the com
mission up as the machine 10 pur
chase land. to permit the scheme for
the development of the beautificatlon
plans for the District 10 go forward
in an orderly way, so that each proI
ect would not have to be carried in q
separate bill in Congress. which has
heretofore resulted In much delay.
Under the old system many of the
projects were lost because Congress
failed year after year to act on pro
posed purchases, and notably among
these projects was the bill providing
for the purchase OF Klingle Valley,
Piney Branch and the Patterson
tract. The Kiingle Valley tract was
the Piney Branch tract has practically
been lost as an asset for park pur
poses. With the patterson tract moth
ing at all has been done.
Since the present difficulty arose.
it has been pointed out that the com
mission is made up largely of Gov
ernment officials, including the chair
men of the Senate and House commit
tees on District of Columbia. affairs
and that these officials scrutiniZe
every project, and are just as anxious
as Congress to see that exOrbitant
prices are not paid for lands needed
in the development of the city and
that therefore, If Congress did not
have confidence in these officials to
carry on their duties, the commission
should be disbanded, and a return
made. to the old method.
But, at any rate, the new provision
of the law hats been given a test, and
the needed lands cannot be purchased.
The situation will be placed squarely
before Congress. to let the members
of that body again determine whether
il will insist on retention of the
provision. and halt plans for beaIItI
fication.

REGISTRATION
F ALL
F OR ELECTION

All registration records for Cochise
county were broken by the heavy reg
istration for the coming primaries, ac-
cording to an announcement Saturday
by County Recorder H. L. Hutchison
The total registration of the county
will be above the 10000 mark, exceed
ing by almost 500 the total registration
for the 1924 primaries.
Recorder Hutchison spent Wednes-
day Thursday and Friday in Douglas,
assisting voters to register and those
who were entitled to do so to vote
under the provisions Of the law con-
cerning absentee and disabled voters.
Before leaving Douglas Friday night,
Recorder Hutchison stated: "If the
registration elsewhere in the county is
as heavy as it has been in Douglas, we
will set a new registration record"
Recorder Hutchison attributes the
unusually heavy registration to the
fact that Cochise county voters are
keenly Interested in the political races
this season. The women, in particular,
are deeply interested in matters of po-
liticaI Importance, and it is predicted
that the voting. during the coming pri-
maries will also set record.
