GOVERNOR GLAD DROUTH
BROKEN, SO PROCLAIMS

Governor Hunt has issued proc
lamation of Thanksgiving" in view of
the termination of the six-year
drouth, setting aside officially Sun
day, April 25, as "a day for prayer
and thanksgiving"
The past six years, says the proc
lamation, have been exceptionally
trying and costly to the state, due to
the extreme drouth which affected
every community and industry in the
state" The governor was reminded
Of "that portion of the scripture con-
tanned in Genesis in which there is
reviewed the history of the famine IN
Egypt and its aftermath"
The proclamation requests mayors
by proclamation also to designate
this day as one to be observed with
prayer and to appoint committees
composed of representatives OF
churches and laymen, and members
of civic, fraternal and benevolent or
ganizations to arrange for and con-
duct community services, which all OF
the people of the various communities
will be urged to attend"

such areas is more difficult Of con-
troll and usually is more damaging to
timber and forage than where but
|one class is grazed. A compensating
feature is the proposal that division
fences necessary to effect segregation
by classes of stock or to inclose in
Idividual cattle ranges, will in course
of time be entirely financed by the
government. If built in whole or in
port by stockmen, their grazing fees
will be reduced over given period of
years enough to retire the investment
plus per cent interest.
There was some difference of opin-
ion evinced at the meeting as to
whether the new policy would serve
the best interests of permittees on
the Apache forest, but their final
representations were withheld due to
absence of six out of nine sheep men.
Another meeting will be called some
time the latter part of the month at
which all interests are to be repre-
sented. -Springerville Tourzona.

PRES. OF WOOL GROWERS
DON'T LIKE STANFIELD'S
PROPOSED GRAZING Law

A positive denial that either the
Arizona Wool Growers association or
the National Wool Growers stand IN
favor of the Stanfield grazing bill
now before congress was issued by a:
A. Johns. Mr.. Johns is president Oh
the Arizona sheepmen's organlzatlonl
and vice-president of the Natlonal
Wool Growers.
President Johns takes vigorous eX-
ception to recent statement clrculated
in behalf of Senator r. H. Cameron
who has been sponsoring the measure,
in which it was stated that the Arl-
zona Wool Growers and the National
Wool Growers had approved the bill.
0No such action was ever taken by
either organization" Johns declared.
The statement in question was ISSUED
by the treasurer of the Nationai For
est Permittees' association and starts
off this way:
eThe long hard years of fight
waged by the livestock men of Ari-
zona, ably championed by Senator
Ralph H. Cameron.
whatever good intentions Senator
Cameron may have had in the mat
ter" President Johns said, 81 fail to
see where either the sheepmen or the
cattlemen are to be benfited. On the
contrary | can see immeaSurable
harm, in that the measure tends to
make more binding and rigorous the
bureaucratic control of public lands
in Arizona and to increase the cost OF
administering lands by the creation
of an additional federal bureau thus
adding to the burdens of the stockmen
just at a time when the industry is
valiantly fighting to regain its feet"
One of the most iniquitous features
of the Stanfield bill, according to
Johns is the vast and unheard of
power" which it places in the hands
of the secretary of the interior. 1t
was this feature that prompted the
Arizona Wool Growers assembled in
special session this week to go on
record without a single dissenting
vote against the bill and to urge that
Arizona be withdrawn from the list
of western states which would come
under its provision. Senator War
rem of Wyoming, more conversant
with the livestock industry than any
man in congress, has secured the
withdrawal of Wyoming, and we are
asking for like consideration, it was
explained.
Some of the detrimental features
in the amended bill were pointed out
as follows:
The term livestock raiser" is de-
fined to mean any person who pos
sesses more than 10 head of domestic
livestock. In other words the owner
of II hogs would have as much voice
in the establishment of grazing dis

GIRLS SAY THEY WERE
STOLEN AT LONG BEACH

Harry L. Smith and Jack Mcclure,
known in Phoenix, were arrested there
Wednesday as the result ofstwo young
girls, age IA and 16, by the name OF
Lumley, claiming they were invited
for ride and taken from Long
Beach, Calf, against their desire.
At Gila Bend auto trouble, and lack
of funds, caused the men to accept
the assistance Of another party COM
ing eastward and the sisters found a
chance to tell their story. Upon
reaching Casa Grande, the kidnappers
sensing trouble attempted to escape
but were apprehended by Sheriff
Laveen's men who caught them on the
highway near Florence. They were
brought to Casa Grande where it was
discovered that another girl, named
Anderson, who was with the men,
had been taken from Phoenix over to
California and back. The men and
three girls travelled in a Ford coupe.

prisoners away. The girls have been

IMPORTANT STATE NEWS

trict as the owner of 1000 head OF
cattle or sheep.
| The law is supposed to contain a
local option provision in the establish
ment Of grazing districts but this is
jokered by the provision that "such
| districts may include such areas of
surveyed and unsurveyed lands as the
secretary Of interior determines may
be conveniently administered as a
unit "even if such areas are neither
contiguous nor adjacent"
1t also provides that the secretary
"may add to such district any pub
lie lands which in his opinion should
be made part of the district" and
has the right to exchange public lands
for private or state lands.
Under new provision the presi-
dent may add to any district any
lands withdrawn from forests.
The extraordinary powers placed
in the hands of the secretary are fur
ther seen in the section which pro-
vides that ''the secretary shall deter
mine for each lease the grazing fee
to be paid" 1t is also within his
power to grant an extension of time
for payment of fees; he may reduce
the amount of such payment or re-
lease payment entirely.
Ten per cent of all fees, the bill
provides, is set aside for range i'm
provements, and 25 per cent goes to
the state to be expended at the direc-
tion of the legislature for schools and
roads.
This latter provision is regarded as
"mere sop" to the states. AS a mat
ter of fact it simply means that the
fees would be made that much larger.
In other words double taxation for
the stockmen. He pays his tax once
to the county assessor and again to
the state in the form of an increased
fee for grazing.
The bill provides district boards,
which "shall advise and cooperate
with the secretary, but have no initial
powers. An elaborate system of
hearings and appeals is provided, in
which the advisory board does not
figure at all, the court of last resort
being the secretary of the interior.
The portion of the bill applying to
lOISok glazing 10 NiIIOQl SGI1OuS OU-
lection except in one particular, John
said. The wool growers take excep-
tion to the provision declaring that
the president may upon recommen-
dation of the secretary of the interior
add lands to forests by executive or
der. They regard it a dangerous pro-
vision.
At special called meeting of the
Arizona Wool Growers held here this
week, the association went on record
without single dissenting vote.
''The situation is a serious one,"
said Johns in conclusion-"fa more
serious than most of the stockmens
realize. They have been lulled into
the belief that all is well, and do not
realize that a new menace has arisen
to harass the stockmen of this state.
Every stockman in the state should
oppose the measure and

Judge M. T. Phelps division Of the
superior court late Saturday after
noon The jurors fixed the penalty
at life Imprisonment. The verdict
was reached after deliberations Of
two hours.
Attorney Fred Bolen appointed by
the court to represent Fernandez
based his defense on the claim that
he was not at the shooting scene,
knew nothing of it, and that the con
fession read to the jury was secured
by threats and violence to the pris-
|oner.
Elder in an ante-mortem statement
told officers that he was shot after
he had surrendered his purse and
other valuables to the holdup men,
He said they were Mexicans.

ARIZONA NEEDS MORE
HOTELS SAYS R. R. MAN

w. j. Black, general passenger
traffic manager of the Santa Fe on
recent visit to Phoenix told business
men that Arizona is in urgent need
of more hotels to care for the tourists
who would come if they were sure of
accommodations. Concerning the ac-
tivities of the Santa Fe along this
line Mr.. Black said
"We are arranging to take off our
Santa Fe passengers and give them
an automobile excursion trip through
the Indian country from Las Vegas
to Albuquerque, N. M. We will soon
arrange to take them off again and
give them such trip through the
Indian country of Arizona "a n d
through the petrified forests. Some
of the most interesting automobile
trips possible to be taken anywhere
in the world may be taken in Ari-
zona. And there are four petrlfled
forests, and these are all IN Arizona.
We will take full advantage OF the
scenery of this state when we offer
inducements to tourists to travel
over our lines.
GAS for climate, there is no better
winter climate than that of southern
Arizona and no better summer cll-
mate than that of northern Arizona.
We shall exploit both in our lltera-
ture, not forgetting to add to the at
fractions of the summer climate OF
the northern part of the state, the
unsurpassed scenery. We were the
first to call the attention OF all the
world to the wonders of the Grand
CANYON. We will not be less back
ward in picking out every other
scenic spot in the state and exploit
ing it with equal diligence.
"I would like to see the movement
that has been begun in Arizona to
raise $500,000 fund for advertising
the states resources become success
fhl. | believe it will. Arizona is
just that sort of state. It's citizens
are progressive. That's why | be-
Iieve in the future of the state. The
Arizona legislature would do we'll to
lead off the fund with an appropria-
ton of 100000"
Mr.. Black is making the trip in his
private car. He is accompanied by
James B. Duffy, general passenger
agent of the Santa Fe system in Los
Angeles, and by F. L. Hanna, assist
ant general freight and passenger
agent of the system in Phoenix.
