Song Of Optimism
In Report On State
By Weather Bureau

Following a month of record
rainfall the ranges of the district
have shown steady and unusual
improvement, says the weekly re-
port of the Phoenix office of the
United States Weather bureau.
Not since statewide records have
been made has there been such an
unusual amount of rain in the
month of April and ranges have
responded in manner heretofore
almost unknown. Even in the sec
ton usually regarded as the dry
southwest precipitation was much
above normal. The week opened
with cool nights continuing in the
north but closed with much warmer
nights and dry temperatures, much
more favorable for young lambs
and calves. Range conditions in
the Pinedale and Whiteriver sec
tions are reported as excellent,
Pastures are good in the Grand
CANYON. Holbrook, Nogales, That
cher, Williams and Fort Bayard,
N. NJ. sections. Stock is in good
condition in the Holbrook, Nogales,
Pinedale, Thatcher, Whlterlver
Williams and Fort Bayard, N. M,
sections, but only fair in the Grand
Canyon and Seligman sections.
The range is fair in the Prescott
section.
Some cotton planting has been
done right along up to the present;
that already up and volunteer
plants are doing remarkably well.
The weather has been particularly
favorable for early planted corn
some of which is progressing well
in the southern valleys and are en-
tirely free of mildew said to be a
serious menace in nelghborlng
state where arrangements for dust
ing by airpIane have been made.
Cotton is doing we'll in the Yuma
valley. A large proportion of al
falfa land has been laid aside for
seed in that section although much
hay has been made. Attending a
sudden change to warmer the cit
rus drop" in the Salt River valley
has been considerable.

In manufacturing business the greater
the output the lower the cost per unit.
Therefore all progressive manufacturing
concerns try to increase Uolume of out
put.
The railroads of this country are in the
manufacturing business. They make and
sell transportation.
Obviously it is to their interest to sell
their product at as low price as possible,
in order to increase Uolune of business
handled.
To sell at lower price they must get
tEeir costs dovn to as low figure as
possible consistent with good service.
They cannot loOer prices for naaterf-
ais and supplies, or sUages, the latter be-
ing fixed by agreements with the men and
by the Labor Board established by law.

Deer Endangering
Refore S tation OF
Kaibab District

TUCSON - Forest reproduction
of the Kaibab plateau is seriously
endangered by the deer herds, ac-
cording to DR.. w. P. Taylor, United

"The deer on the Kaibab plateau
are SO numerous they are seriously
affecting the yellow pine reproduc-
ton on the Kaibab national forest, :"
DR.. Taylor said.
Practically all the seeding yell
low pines under five feet in height
are cropped. The deer apparently

The only other way left is by more eff
cient operation-that means handling
more freight per man employed. To handle
more freight economically means larger To-
comotives, better track and longer trains.
Laws limiting the number of cars in
train, or saying how many men shall be
employed on train, are laws which to that
extent preUent LotDering costs and keep
up rates.
Any laws that require the railroads to

ried preparations were being made
at the state capitol today for the
one day session of the state lceisla
ture, called by Governor Friend W.
Richardson late yesterday, for rati-

The governor fixed the special scs-

assentblymen and senator's to adjust
their business affairs and hustle to

when a one day meeting ratified the
woman 5 suffrage amendment.
Officials Surprised
State officers and even persons
close to the Governor were surprised
by The call. Political prognostica-

to figure out motive other than
that expressed by the governor, that
"to delay action is to icOpardize the
whole plan and continue the flood

ed, however as the law expressly
stimulates that the purpose of a sps
