passing st. Joseph station the second class
car appeared to have jumped the track
on curve. 1t dragged the, first-class car
and sleeper with it and also derailed the
mail car and baggage car ahead of it. The
passenger cars ran aiagonally along the
embankment for 200 yards. The second
class car struck the western abutment of
the bridge. It was in this car that the sac
ritice of life occurred. The front of the
car was smashed to atoms against the solid
stone abutment. All three cars turned over
the first-class car being badly shattered.
The sleeper was not so badly smashed as
the other cars.

Arizona Against Statehood.

There seems to be disposition on
the part of few politicians in Ari-
iona, to persistently push forward
the claims of this Territory for state
hood. The taxpayers do not ask for
the admission of Arizona as state;
the population and taxable wealth of
the Territory do not warrant it, and
10y assuming the responsibilities of
state government taxes, already heavy,
viii be greatly increased, and nothing
gained. Capital will not invest where
the tax rate is heavy; and we all know
that the levy in this Territory 'could
not stand much of raise" The lesson
taught by Nevada should be needed
by the state making apostles of Ari-
zons. The additional cost to the
taxpayers by playing at state govern
ment, would be at the lowest possible
notch 1928, 900 per annum. And in
return what would be receivedl Moth
ing, absolutely nothing, unless we
count long list of new and useless
e-holders, as being of,some value
On the other hand, the liberal ex-
penditures made by tho National
Government in our behalf would b.
withdrawn; our credit which now
stands first class, would be lowered;
immigrants would hesitate about set

truly in an experimental condition
and capital carefully steer clear from
the dangers and uncertainties atten-
dent upon section assuming burdens

ditions are not now favorable to state.

prepared for the responsibilities and
expense of self government, but this
