Cleaning the Courthouse

The biennial talk of a campaign to clean the court,
house is again under way. The source is not partieu-
larry impressive. Also the campaign. if continued. will
result in every incumbent. of the courthouse being re-
tanned.
We do not elect county officers to have them ca
ioled, browbeaten and threatened by groups of politi-
cal Missionaries with impossible programs. never salts
fled and constantly taking themselves more seriously
than ever they are taken by the public.
There has been a lot of talk about the socalled
courthouse gang. Let us be fair.
If there is inefficiency. perhaps. in some cases. let
it be remembered that so far there has not been a
single charge of dishonesty That is something in
these times.
And if We had a gang in the courthouse, who
would wan; to turn them out in favor of those now
clamoring for official county heads.
Let it not be forgotten that the salaries now paid
the average county official are SO low that efficiency
can hardly be expected and that despite this condition
We are getting probably as high a degree of efficiency
as any county in Montana.
Also for what shortcomings there are in county
government. which is a thing itself badly outworn and
sadly in need Of revision, the remedy is hardly to

enough to take these positions at the salaries paid.

To Buy 100000 Cows

In addition I'D direct benefit pay
ments to cooperating producers, the
Dairy Adjustment plan, as proposed
includes provision for increasing the
consumption OF milk. About $ 1000, 900
would be used to provide milk for
underfed children who would other
wise be without it. An additional
5000, 900 would be spent to provide
mich cows for the 1,400. 900 farms.
principally In the South. which are
now without any source Of milk and
are unable to buy 1t. The cows would
be bought al rom SIS to $40 and
turned over to farmers who would
pay for them in small quarterly or
semi-annual installments.
Something Ike $4,000. 900 would be
devoted to the elimination OF bovine
tuberculosis and other diseases. The
balance of the fund about $150,00O,
900 would be distributed In benefit
payments to producers in the various
states. Dairy farmers of Wisconsin
for example, would receive the larg-
est total-$1S.S 55, 900 and Minnesota
would come second with 900.

Coconino To Lose
A Representative
After Next Term

FLAGSTAFF, Nov. 23-Because
Of the change made by the initia-
tive measure voted in the general
election of 1892, there will be fewer
members chosen to the lower house
of the state legislature in 1896.
The new law allows one repre-
sentative to each $500 or major
fraction thereof votes cast for gov
crnor in the general election. Co
conino and Navajo counties are
among those affected Both had
sufficiently large registration, had
q larger percentage of those reg
istered voted on Nov. s.
Instead of two representatives,
Coconino and Navajo will have one
each after 1896 until entitled to
more by larger general election
votes.
The number of representatives
during the next two years is not
affected by the new law. Coconlnc
and Navajo each elected two and
they will serve until the end of the
coming two-year term, for which
they were chosen.

Broadcasting to the world the

Arizona Resource Edition was pub
lished last weekend by the Arizona
Republic and Phoenix Gazette.
Containing 112 pages and not on
ly handsomely illustrated with
smashing art layouts, but filled with

travel to all 48 Of the states and
to many foreign countries.
Fifty-six thousand copies of the
edition were printed, and all were
ordered sent to an amazing variety
Of addresses, even before the edi-

It is believed by the publishers
that telling as it does the romance

will serve as a powerful magnet for
attracting both attention and wis.,

To tell this complete story, more

newspapers worked more than two
months compiling and checking da-

LIVESTOCK FEED
LOANS AVAILABLE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-Over
365.000 emergency drought loans ag-
gregating $24 100000 have been
made to western and middle west
ern farmers and stockmen since the
drought fund appropriated last
summer became available, Governor
w. I. Myers, Farm Credit Adminis-
tration, said today.
Just over 200 900 of the loans
amounting to about $14,000,000 rep
resented initial advances, primarily
for the purpose of purchasing feed
for livestock; and 1865 900 supple
mental advances have been made
aggregrating $10,O00,O00. Ordinarily
such loans are made in monthly
advances, limited to amounts re-
quired per head for the stock to be
fed.
with the approach of severe
weather conditions over many Sec
tions where feed is short it is very
important for borrowers who need
feed and have no other source of
credit to make application for
emergency loans early so there will
be no delay in acting upon them
due to suddenly changing weather
conditions or other unforeseen fac
tors" Governor Myers said. "The
funds available for the emergency
feed loans are limited" he con-
tinued, land no farmer or stock
man should borrow or spend un-
necessarily for feed; but where the
stockman can anticipate his later
needs with reasonable certainty. he
should apply early, whether or not
the feed is to be purchased imme-
diately.

Measures Prepared
These three prime purposes OF
the special session have been in
corporated in five measures pre-
pared in Washington, under the SUI
pervision Of Public Works Admin
istration attorneys, which have been
sent to Arizona for presentation to
5he legislature.
Included in the five government
prepared measures is a provision
fo-r resembling of portion of the
present Arizona statute pertaining
to public utilities which was re-
vised by the 18th legislature at the
regular session nearly two years
ago. Under the proposed govern
ment bills, the legal field of oper-
alton of public utilities by munich
palities, districts, and others, would
be wldened greatly, beyond the jur-
isdiction of the Arizona Corpora

Limited To 20 Days
BY statute, any special session is
limited to 20 days. Governor Moeur
hope that the session he
has called to convene Monday will
