Tuesday Morning, March 20, 1917. , ELECTION FRAUDS. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth is heard from the Hunt side of the gubernatorial controversy over the fact that fraud has been uncovered in the workings of the. e'ection board of Precinct Number 1. Douglas. The attorneys for the former governor and his friends lo.se eight of the facts in their wild scramble and hope that the former 'white' hope will again be able to place hi.i corpulence behind a nice desk, in a nice office in a well appointed buildings and again draw a monthly stipend from the people of the state of Arizout. Losing sight, entirely, of the fact that gross fraud has been perpetuated, counsel for the former governor is endeavoring to make a blaek shirt appear spotlessly white. Whitewash is the product of older days, but it I.as not lost its usefulness when vote theft and felony is concerned yea, even in this most progressive of states and forward of counties. Many overlook the obvious fact that the fight in Pre cinct Number 1, Douglas, was not over the governorship. It was between Clyde Braiium and R. T. Dunlap for jus tice of the peace. Henchmen of the former were in con trol of the Number 1 polling place. They, undoubtedly, changed many straight Republican ballots to Deniocra'ic votes in a hope that P.ranum would overcome his cp ponent's lead. No one, least of all the supporters of Clyde Branuni and George W. P. Hunt, suspected that Tom Campbell had the slightest chance of election. The election of the governor did not worry the board of Douglas Number 1. Nevertheless the acts of H. H. Hart and Art Pearson are exceedingly reprehensible. When supporters of the former executive maintain that Pearson is bein;? held outside the state by attorneys fcr Campbell, they are attempting to either make fools of sane people or are deliberately attempting to falsify their idol into another term. They overlook the obvious ia searching for some straw which might be turned in a vain hope that efforts to eliminate fraud will work for the benefit of their champion. Whether or not Judge Standiford, in the superior court of Maricopa county, eliminates Douglas 1 from the gubernatorial contest is of small moment when the tam pering with votes on a large scale, and in such a flagrant manner is to be considered. County Attorney Rose and his assistant take the right and proper view of the situation. They do not take the position that it is reprehensible for one party's ad herents and not for the other. They .have come out. openly, with the declaration that fraud from any j-arty will be prosecuted and ilie spring will, undoubtedly, wit ness some interesting developments in this line . In the meantime it would be entirely fitting for those people who are supporting the f'.rmer governor to look well before they leap eithel into print or into the t-w of puiic opinion. Tie voters oi .xri.ona and of Cocnise county are excee tin j jealous of '.heir right3 wh. n in a polling booth and when fraud has been either practiced cr attempted they may be expected to domain that it be exposed or punished. It does not matter, now or ir. the future, whether one side or another is guilty. It should be put under the ban of the law. respect and that of his fellow citizens, would experieuee a very uncomfortable feeling were he a party to it. The publicity given to this case reierreil to has been so great that it can scarcely be hoped that it will net come to the attention of the department of justice, which takes a very much greater interest in maintaining the purity of state elections where federal candidates are up for the suffrages of the people than it does in the election of a justice of the peace or even that of a gov ernor or of protecting the wagers which may have been; laid on any local candidate. GERMAN LETTERS. Among Germany's minor troubles, there is a bitter con troversy raging among the German people regarding the abolition of the Gothic letters in favor of the Romrn characters now used in nearly all other nations. The Roman type has made considerable headway in Germany in recent years, particularly in the printing of scientific works intended for circulation throughout the world. But newspapers and periodicals still held to the old Gothic, and the people use it almosT universally. The Kaiser has long been a defender of the old type, preferring it as he prefers so many medieval things, on the ground that it helps preserve the Germans as a dis tinct and peculiar people. This very argument is now uses' against the Gothic let ters. It is argred that they are responsible for mui'a misunderstanding cf Germany throughout the worll. The Ilerlia Tagebh-tt explains that foreigners would un derstand and sympathize with Germany if they could only read German literature; butl'ney are deterred from learn ing because it is necessary, at the start, to learn a new alphabet. The letters, mor-ovcr. are criticized as hard on the eyes, thereby mak'ng reading unnecessarily difficult a true accusation, as most people will agree. The monks of the middle ages who evolved the Gothic characters were ct.pcrrned far more with the decorative effects ol their manuscripts than with their legibility. The change to rimple Roman would no doubt be an excellent thing. But it might not prove so effective as it adv.. rates think. Something more than plainer print is needed to make pr.ent-day Germany intelligible to the outer world. , WHOSE OIL? It may be that the people cf the I'nittd States are en gaged in a curious business transaction. It looks as if j ll.ey were buying oil that already belongs to them. The Government has reserved for future use various oil lands, particularly in California. In territory adjacent to the grvernment reservations, private dealers hav sunk wells and are pumping oil. The question is, where does the oil come from that flows into the privately owned v.el'.s? It's ejuite pcssibla that all. knowing po territorial restrictions, flows through underground channels from the government lauds into the neighboring, reservoirs. And when Uncle Sain wants it there may be none left. But what can I'ncle do about it. Many a private citizen has had his oil or fas drained oi? in the same way. HAVE FEDERAL STATUTES BEEN VIOLATED? Wonder if it has ever occurred to the individual w In dividuals who think it a good joke to tamper witb-bal! .ts for the benefit of a friend, that the government holds v as a very serious crime to tamper in any way with an election or with the ballots cast at an election where federal candidates are on the ticket to 1m- voted for? I'.ven though the interference may not seriont ly affect the particular eases of federal candidates, the tampera? with the ballots containing tjieir names is held to In very serious offense, ami punishable by line ;md imu"i'-:.-nient. The fate of a iiite. large coterie .l politicians in Terre Haute, Ind., who were sent to various terms of imphsor ment for, just such pravti e s, must yet be- fresh in the minds of newspaper readers. A ease has recently developed iii this state, which not exactly similar in diameter to t'ie Terre li.iu'e oris.1. -ontains many of the same elements which featured that, and whether is conns entirely justified, would probably depend upon the judgment of Ilie foiled States atl irne;-. But the dividing line h.-twocn violation n-id safely. jV there be a dividing line in t'is case, is so narrow that an ord'H'rv citizen " ho 1-' ti':iiv- o 'eai'it'ii" h!s PRODUCTIVE EXPENDITURES Congress fortunately has not been too much engrossed with war problems to ignore domestic development en- r tirely. In the closing days of the session it has appro priated $45,000,000 to deepen the channel and prevent floods on the Mississippi, and $5,000,000 for similar work on the Sacramento in California. The money is to be spent over a period of several years. It is unfair to designate such appropriations as "pork," just as it is unfair to apply that invidious term to ati ap propriation for deepening the East River' channel in New York harbor to make the Brooklyn navy yard available tor the largest warships. Our internal waterways sys tem, like our system of highways, is in need of f; r more consideration and "far greater expenditures than it has ever received, if the nation's economic life is to be fos tered and its transportation possibilities fully realized. The amount of money expended is a relatively unim portant matter. What counts is that the funds should be expended wisely, in tie carrying out of a deliberate ane comprehensive plan. If we get into war, we shall no doubt spend several billions of dollars iu unproductive activities. We aiv really eoiug to spend billions merely for defensive pur poses, whether we have war or not. Whenever a military emergency appears, the nation t). K.'s huge budgets with a hurrah. WJiy should there be so much opposition to every proposal for spending far smaller sums to creative, constructive work for the utilization of our natural resources? STATE HIGH GRADE I.eo Buiiard, all employee .f a Mor enci bakery, whilfi f!oins to his home in that town, some nishts ago, got in the road of a bullet meant for an es caping Mexican bootlegger. The shot hit him in the leg and will lay him up for several weeks. Th? man who did the shooting was Deputy Sheriff Geo. Hill of Greenlee county. He had ar rested a Mexican for bootlegging and was taking him to jail when the Mex ican pushed him over a concrete wall Hill, upon regaining his feet, fired at the running man. It was at this junc ture that Ballard came into view and in time to rece ive the business end of the lead pellets. Kiank Mrek, a farmer near Globe, has been arrested by Gila county au thoriues, charged with the murder ol Joe Rogic. another resident of the same region. Mrek was arrested as a result of a chain of circumstances which wouhl appear to connect the arrested man with the murder, which was particularly brutal. Mrek alleges that he can prove an absolute alibi when the proper time comes.

After the state senate rt fused to confirm several of Gover nor Campbell's appointments the Hunt supporters liberally forcasted that, once the legislature was over, the De Facto Governor would appoint many to office. This, according to th governor's announcement, is far from the truth. The top price ever paid for cotton in the I'nited States was probably registered in Phoenix Saturday when the Arizona Egyptian Cotton Compa ny took forty four bales of Pima cot ton at aS.tltt cents per pound. This is fi- cents more than the highest price paid for similar cotton last fall. Ma ny cotton growers in the Salt River Valley believe that the price of the long stap'e variety will go still higher. 1?
