THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
President Wilson personally laid
before a joint session of congress
Tuesday the fundamental principles
of the democratic administration’s
program for dealing with trusts and
“big business.” The president pre
sented the case, he said, “as it lies
in the thought of the country,” reit
erating that “private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerable,” and de
‘claring that conscientious business
men throughout the nation would not
be satisfied until practices now depre
cated by public opinion as restraints
of trade and commerce were correct
ed.
“We are now about to write the
additional articles of our constitution
of peace,” said the president. “The
peace that is honor and freedom and
prosperity.”
Besides suggesting the scope of
legislation, the president made a per
sonal appeal for an atmosphere of
friendliness and co-operation in con
gress while handling the problem.
“The antagonism,” he said, “be
tween business and government is
over. We are now about to give ex
pression to the best judgment of
America, to what we know to be the
business conscience and honor of the
land. The government and business
men are ready to meet each other
half way in common effort to square
business methods with both public
opinion and the law.”
The chief points which the presi
dent singled out as a basis for legis
lation:
(1.) Effectual prohibition of the
interlocking of directorates of great
corporations—banks, railroads, in
dustrial, commercial and public ser
ice bodies.
(2.) A law to confer upon the In
terstate Commerce Commission the
power to superintend and regulate
the financial operation by which
railroads are henceforth to be sup
lied with the money they need for
their proper development and im
proved transportation facilities. The
president made it clear that “the
prosperity of the railroads and the
prosperity of the country are insep
arably connected” in this regard.
(3.) Definition of the many hurt
ful “restraints of trade” by explicit
legislation supplementary to the Slier
man law.
(4.) The creation of a commission
to aid the courts and to act as a
clearinghouse of information in help
ing business to conform with the law.
(5.) Provision of penalties and
punishments to fall on individuals re
sponsible for unlawful business prac
tices.
(6.) Prohibition of holding com
panies and a suggestion that the vot
ing power of individuals holding
shares in numerous corporations
might be restricted.
(7.) Giving to private individuals
the right to found suits for redress
on facts and judgments proved in
government suits and providing that
statute of limitations should run
only from the date of conclusion of
the government’s action.
RECLAMATION PROJECTS.
Secretary Lane’s experts in the rec
lamation service have estimated that
if water can be supplied to 3,191,000
acres now planned for in government
reclamation projects, this area when
put under cultivation will be equal to,
nearly sixty-nine per cent of the cul
tivated area of all of the New Eng
land states on the basis of crop re
turns for 1913. Besides, if the
amount of $100,000,000 to be raised
by bond issue is to be provided for
by congress the cultivated land on
the extended area of irrigation pro
jects will yield crops every year to
the value of $98,75,000, and the irri
gation engineers point to this fact
to show that the proposed amount of
money to be spent in the west is am
ply secured as an investment for the
government.
The money will not be, of course,
in the nature of a direct appropria
tion,but the bonds will be bought and
will yield three percent interest, and
the returns of their sale will pro
vide the amount of money nec
essary for the extention of govern
ment reclamation.
The proposed plan of Secretary
Lane is in away the extension of the
provisions in the so-called Carter bill
passed two years ago by congress am
which set aside $20,000,000 to be us
ed in the completion of irrigation pro
jects on which the government engi
neers are already working.
BLYTHE HERALD SOLD.
On account of business affairs oc
! cupying his entire attention at Par
ker, J. B. Flanagan last Saturday
disposed of his interests in the Blythe
Herald to J. H. Liglitfoot, a former
Parkerite and an old-time newspaper
man. The Herald was established ex
actly three years ago, and up until
a few weeks ago was printed in the
office of The Post. Owing to the
prosperity of the Blythe country and
the increased business of the paper
a plant was installed at Blythe in
December, and the paper is now be
ing printed at that place. The Post
editor regrets parting with his baby
sister, for during the period in which
we had nursed the little weakling
along, through adversity and incon
venience of printing a paper fifty
miles away from its real home, we
had become deeply attached to the
publication, and had formed many
sincere friendships among the people
of the Palo Verde valley. However,
in’ looking back we are pleased to re
member that the Herald numbered
among its friends and loyal support
ers practically every business man
and resident of the valley. The Her
ald has always been one of the best
weekly papers published in the Gold
en State, and its crowning achieve
ment was the issuance of the best
annual edition on Jan. 1. ever pub
lished by a weekly paper in the
southwest. May it live long and pros
per is the sincere wish of its founder.

H Issued by Arizonr News Bureau
United States marshal for Arizona and
Carpenter is to be collector of internal
revenue for the district comprising
Arizona and New Mexico.
Charles E. Overlook, republican, gave up the office of marshal at the re
quest of the department of justice. Dillon’s formal appointment will be con
firmed shortly. In the meantime he is acting as marshal under a temporary
appointment by Judge William H. Sawtelle.
Don Willetts, chief deputy under Overlock, will probably be retained by
Dillon. He is a democrat and was sent out by the department during the
term of Ben F. Daniels. Deputy Marshal Bush Anderson ’esigned when Dil
lon became marshal and was succeeded by Charles R. Price of Phoenix. For
the present Overlock’s other deputies remain.
Clay F. Leonard of Phoenix has been appointed clerk of the supreme
court, an office Dillon has held since Arizona became a state. He retains
Mrs. Angie Parker Byrne as his deputy.
Carpenter’s appointment as internal revenue collector has been sent to
the senate. The office will be moved from Santa Fe to Phoenix.

O. N. Cresvvell, state inspector of weights and measures, Is making his
second annual tour of Arizona. First he will cover southern Arizona and then
then the eastern counties, finishing in the north. Creswell’s jurisdiction ex
tends to all towns of more than 900 inhabitants and any other place where
complaint is made.
Secretary of State Sidney Osborn has decided that under the Arizona
law any motor-driven vehicle on four wheels must be registered as an auto
mobile. This means that the registration fee for a cyclecar is $5. Several
cyclecar owners have contended that their little machines should be classed
as motorcycles.
Two Phoenix banks have qualified for membership in the National Re
serve Association, under the provisions of the new currency law.
In the Federal Court at Phoenix the Santa Fe Railroad Company was

PROCLAMATION OF ARBOR DAY.
Executive Department State of
Arizona.
In accordance with the provisions
of Title XI, Chapter 20, Paragraphs
2837-2840 of the Arizona Revised stat
utes, 1913, I, Geo. W. P. Hunt, Gov
ernor of Arizona, do hereby designate
and set apart the sixth day of Feb
ruary, A. D., 1914, as Arbor Day, to
be observed in the Counties of Co
chise, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, Mari

and set apart the third day of April,
A. D., 1914, as Arbor Day, to be ob
served in the Counteis of Apache, Co
conino, Mahave, Navajo and Yavapai.
It is recommended that due observ
ance of Arbor Day, as designated

ers and pupils of the State’s educa
tional institutions through the hold
ing of appropriate exercises and the
planting of such trees, shrubs and
vines as will enhance the appearance
and value of the environs of public in
stitutions of learning.
It is further advocated that Arbor
Day, in the current year, shall he
made an occasion for the furtherance
and promulgation of the principles of
forestry and husbandly by all the
citizens of Arizona, whereby public
grounds and private estates may be
rendered an attractive heritage for
posterity as well as a source of pleas
ure anti profit for present genera
tions.
In witness whereof, I have hereun
to set my hand and caused the Great
Seal of the State to be affixed.

The lead to the resolutions was
, no doubt indited by that diplomatic
Westover, wherein confidence and
other stuff were expresse in the
board of supervisors. Surely, one
could have confidence in our county
j law-makers if they would but follow
sensible suggestions and recommenda
tions, but heretofore they have act
ed as if they were the whole show
and that the “Vox Populi” had no
thing whatever to do about running
the affairs of the county.
