deserves our strongest support. Our
senator's and representatives at Wash
ington pledged themselves to strive
with zeal and persistence to pass
whatever legislation may be offered
for the relief of agriculture and our
governor and legislators at all times
will seek to aid and encourage meas
ures and policies favorable to the
farming industry.
"The greatest problem confronting
the farmer lies in marketing. Investi-
cation has shown that cooperative
marketing is essential to the prosper
ity of agriculture Investigation has
also shown that the acreage under
cultiva tion in Arizona is too limited
to make cooperative marketing, con-
fined to Arizona alone, success, and
that it is essential, if cooperative
marketing is to function properly,
that the marketing of products of the
west coast of Mexico, Imperial Val
ley in California, Arizona, New Mex
leo, and portions of Texas be CO.
ordinated so that a constant supply
of imilar products may be supplied
to the large consuming centers of the
east at all seasons of the year. Such
an organization will require legisla-
tion on the part of Arizona and other
states.
eve pledge our candidates to in
stitute measures which will pave the
way for cooperative marketing or
ganizations in Arizona and which will
be enabled to cooperate with smaller
organizations in other states so that
sound economic foundation may be
put under the agriculture of our
country.
eve also pledge our candidates to
support all legislation which will
tend to strengthen and build up the
agricultural industry of our state

THE Democratic party of Arizona
in party council assembled, expresses
it's full confidence in the integrity,
ability and efficiency of the officers
and personnel of the State Highway
department.
eve recommend the state engineer
and the employees of the department
for the efficient, economical and COM
mendable manner in which the de-
partment has maintained the high
ways which have been built and for
those now under construction. The
administration of the department has
been efficient and economical and
merits the approval of the taxpayers
and electorate of the state.
"We pledge the Democratic party
to continuation of the policy of
maintaining our highway system by
the most modern methods.

stream throughout its course, whether
within or partly within our boundar-
les, and we pledge the Democratic
candidates for the legislature to de-
fend the rights of Arizona in this
river to the utmost.
eve commend the actions of United
State Senator Henry F. Ashurst in
defending the position of Arizona on
the Colorado river as a member of the
United States senate committee on
irrigation and reclamation and for
his vigorous defense of Arizona's
rights on the floor of the United
States senate.
1--WE denounce the Swing-J Johnson
Boulder Canyon Dam bill as an out
rage against the state of Arizona. 1t
is based upon greed and selfishness.
1t violates all of the established
laws relating to the appropriation,
use and distribution of water. 1t
substitutes federal tyranny for state
sovereignty.
eve are proud that Arizona has
raj ed up man who had the ability
to expose the evils embodied in the
Swing-Johnson bill and the power to
prevent action on it, even though it
was an administration measure sup
ported by the president and his cabi-
net. De- pite the efforts of numer-
Gus paid lobbyists and nationwide
newspaper propaganda, Carl Hayden
held the Swing-J ohnson bill in the
house committee on irrigation and
reclamation. He fought it with skill
and determination. His election to the
United States senate will demonstrate
that the people of Arizona, by ap-
proving his conduct, are determined
to defend their rights through tried
and true champion who has never
failed them in any crisis.
I'm presenting our candidate for
congress, Honorable Lewis w. Doug
las, the Democratic party can assure
the voters that he has a consistent
record of opposition to the Colorado
River compact as drafted at Santa
Fe, and that as a member of the
Sixth legislature he opposed ratifi-
cation of that treaty until Arizona's
interests were first established and
determined. Congressman Douglas
will be fully prepared to carry on
the work in the lower house of con-
gre. S, left by Carl Hayden, in oppo-
sition to the proposal to develop the
river until such time as the inter
ests of Arizona are first determined
and established.
eve pledge the candidates of the
Democratic party to continue to work
to promote harmonious relations with
the states in the Colorado river basin,
based upon equity and justice and in
harmony with state sovereignty, but
the Democracy of Arizona serves no.

OUR FARM WORKERS SUPERIOR

Although 1t has been pretty well
demonstrated by data as well as by
dicta that agriculture in this country
has Jagged behind the progress made
in certain other important branches
of our economic life 1t is gratifying
to learn that this Is not due to lack
OF effort on the part of the American
farm worker. His productivity Is
found by comparison with the farm
workers of certain other countries,
to be greatly superior.
Among the facts collected by the
National Industrial Conference Board
are the following:
During the five-year period pre-
oeding the war, in the United States,
24.4 acres were being cultivated per
farm worker; in Scotland, 1876 acres
per worker; in England, 9.5 acres;
in France, S.3 acres: in Germany 60,
and in Italy AZ acres per worker.
From 1910 to 1920, the. board points
out. American farm labor increased
in efficiency about 22.5 percent. for
although the number of farm work.
ers during that period decreased by
AWFUL PSlSCilt, ttC tOlulIlt VI CIop
production increased by about IL
percent.
The superior productivity of the
American farm worker. in the light
of the Conference Boards study, is
due largely to the greater use of
power and machinery, just as the
productivity of American industry
has advanced over that of foreign
countries by the greater use of power
and machinery. The United States
leads the world in the development
OF agricultural machinery. as IS
demonstrated by the increasing use
of American agricultural machinery
of all binds all over the globe. In
the United States, more than thir-
teen times as much farm machinery
was in use in 1920 as had been in
use in 1870. and the value of
machinery used amounting to $40
per worker In 1870, had risen to
SITS worth per worker in 1920, both
figures being in terms of dollars of
1913 purchasing value. The average
farm worker nowadays thus is using
about five times as much machinery
as the average farm worker SO years
ago.

Goodness gracious me! How the

worse than that. The little wheef-

came to a big corncrib. in which
there were only three ears.

Mr.. Sharptooth Rat, looking through

Aside from the political features Of
the Steck- Brookhart contest, result
ing in the seating Of the former, with
Republicans and Democrats voting
both ways, aside from it's significance
as a division between radicals and
conservatives in the State Of Iowa
and within certain limits in the Sen
ate itself, 1t is Of interest to know
what the equities of the case were.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Times describes these
as follows:
1.-THE contest over Mr.. Brookhart's
seat in the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, which set up elaborate
vote machinery of it's own,
turned largely on split ballots. Many
votes obviously cast for Captain
Steck by Republicans who intended
to vote for all Republican candidates
except Brookhart We're thrown out
by Iowa election boards because the
voters had drawn on them curved
arrows pointing to Steck's name.
'"Fhe Senate committee decided
that these should have been counted
for Steck, but it was contended by
most Of the committee members that,
even with the elimination of these
ballots and giving Brookhart the
benefit of every doubt. the result
showed that Steck had been chosen
by a small majority"

The Greatness OF Luther Burbank
Boston Transcript
"And he gave 1t for his opinion,
that whoever could make two ears
of corn. or two blades of grass, to
grow upon a spot of ground where
only one grew before, would deserve
better of mankind, and do more
essential service to his country,
than the whole race of politicians
put together" If the author Of "Gul-
liver" was right in this, and If Abou
ben Adhem heard Alright when he
was told that love of God blesses
those who love their feliowmen. Lu-
Their Burbank need have. no fear in
facing the Throne of Grace, in spite
of his inability to accept revealed
religion. The plant wizard of Santa
Rosa has done we'll by the human
race. Certainly he made not merely
two, but many blades Of grass to
grow where only one, or none at
all, grew before. He greatly increas-
ed the capacity of the arid regions
for production. His discoveries and
experiments had a large and dis
tinct economic value. Xxx
No doubt a fine monument will
some day be raised to him, but no
man ever before had so many monu-
ments as Luther Burbank will have.
