YUMA COUNTY.

A white man irst set foot on what is
now Yuma County in l77l. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
one of the four original counties of Che Ter
ritory. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fornia catches Of Arizona is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
hills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
whose undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
ountry are at present turned and as such,
she is bound to grow and prosper with a
rapidity that at present can hardly be re-
allied. But coupled with her geographi-
cal position we find that she is the center
of a country whose agricultural possibili-
ties are practically unlimited, being sur
rounded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and
wanting o1ly water to become paradise OF
bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious
fluid have annually gone to waste at
Yuma's very doors, but already reaction
is taking place and many enterprises are
on foot to supply the life-giving waters OF
the yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC
WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subJectlon
the rise of water in canal, due to an over-aDuno-
ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing 20
severe rains or storms.
II is particulsrJy valuable 10 have such Water
Gate placed in lower bank of canal, at such points
along its line Where there are Ravines, Gulhes,
ArroVOs Foot Hills, ButteS, or Tablelands as any
rains or storms bring down at such points surplus
of water that is very dangerous to the banks OF
canal The Waste Gate, however, will prevent
such damage, as 1T Is
sELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
Relieving the canal at short intervals of its sur
plus water thus preventing the washing away OF
banks and causing great DER y" :. nCraily, no
alone to canal but property OnsOTs All along 1ne
line who NAV suffer more or less damages there
after for the want of water owing 10 the DAMAGED
condition of canal and while such repairs are being
made. Not only is it valuable TO reheve canal OF
its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex-
nense but by its the first cost of canal con-
struction will be materially lessened as the banks
need not be made so high or wide.
The device is extremely simple, and COMPARE
lively inexpensive Its plan of operation Is this:
There is pipe fastened to opening IN the
vertical gate 1. When the body of water rises to
the level of the upper end OF pipe, 2, water runs
freely into the tank g. which is Immediately filed,
Thus overbalancing the weight, 4, which is on the
other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate
which suddenly relieves the canal OF large sur
plus of water. When body of water reeedes below
a certain level, no more water is admitted to the
tank; therefore empties itself by small faucet
opening, 8, at the bottom; this being done, tho
weight overbalances tank, and brings down the
lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate,
closes it. This operation continues at short in
tervals, so long the body of water keeps rising
over certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and
tank are all rigid, and hinge, OF pivot, on hori-
zontaI shaft The gate, fume OF lex can be made
any height width, or length desired The gate can
be hinged between any buIknead without box

Arizona stands at the threshold of an
era of wonderful social and industrial de-
velopment. There can't be doubt about
the fact. The dawn for which she has
waited so long is breaking at last. There
is every promise of a day of great pros
perity and permanent upbuilding just be-
fore her. The impulse of a new and ener-
giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people. while the cumulative effect of
many things, which made but small i'm
preston as they transpired singly, is now
commanding for her full share of atten-
tion and interest abroad among home
seekers and capitalists.
4 lively competition has sprung up for
the possession of things which have hereto
fore gone a-begging for ownership. There
is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more
surely indicates great industrial awaken
ing than this. The rates of interest are
! falling to moderate figures. Nothing more
surely indicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that climacticel
period which every western state has eX
perienced sometime in its history when
after long and weary struggle and doubt
with each side of the balance first up anC
then down, the clouds of despondency
have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurs
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop
ing spirits of the people to greater alC
Drawer endeavOr than before.
For the last twelve years the subsidenc
of the great Tombstone boom and the com
pletion of two transcontinental lines 0
railroad across her territory-Arizona ha
rather dropped out Of public attention
but in that time she has been quietly &C
cumulating a fund of substantial wealth
and force of moral character whicl
qualify her now to rise up and take he
destiny in her own hands.
The population of Arizona is Mexican
This is a mistake of great Importance from
the moral point of view. There is but on
) considerable center of Mexican population
in the territory, the city of Tucson, an
even there it is not by any means at pres
ent the predominating element. 1t thin
it is certain that arizona has not to-da
nearly so large Mexican population a
, Colorado and not above one-tenth as niue
as New Mexico. -"Fitz- Mac" in Denye

acres, now proftles made productive
by the construction of rrgatng bitches, and there
is no investment which assures larger or more
permanent returns
The foregoing statements are not exaggerated;
in fact they fall short of doing justice to this won
derful land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal
nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries currants goosebcrries and all varieties OF
small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed,
Yuma County is not only the natural home OF the
citrus and semi-tropical fruits as almost every
fruit, nut plant, grain, grass or vegetable which
eau be produced in either tropic temperate zone,
will thrive in It's rich and fertile soils.

A POPULAR TAX.

In his recent speech in favor
of the repeal Of the income tax,
Mr.. Bourke Cochran said:
when you gentlemen here be-
Aieve that you are levying a tax
upon IS, 900 persons, and there
fore it is a popular tax, as some
of it's supporters have declared
it to be, can you conceive the
meaning of what you say? A
popular tax? Conceive for one
moment the character of such an
assertion. Why, gentlemen might
as well talk about a popular dis
ease or a popular plague"
AS the Atlanta Journal says, to
use an apt if not elegant express
sion this is '.too thin" When it
is said that the income tax is
popular everybody knows that
the term is used relatively. All
taxation is a burden and in the
dreams of Arcadian government
the tax.gatherer finds no place.
But we are still bound down to
probabilities and everybody
knows that taxes must be levi
ed If we are to enjoy the protec-
ton and benefits of government
1t is therefore the part of states
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-12-20

manship to lay these taxes so
that they will be as easily borne
as possible. Since it is a recog-
nized fact that we must have
taxes it is perfectly proper to
speak of a popular tax and the
income tax fills the bill.
It is not popular because it
falls on comparatively few peo-
pie, but because it is believed by
the great majority of the people
Of this country, including many
who are subject to it, to be just.
The opponents Of the income
tax have frequently shown the
weakness of their position by
Just such talk as that Of Mr..
Cochran. They have also IN
dulged freely in the game Of bluff
as they do when they denounce
the tax as unconstitutional on the
ground that it is class legisla,
ton.
We have courts ready to ties;
that question and yet we have
not heard Of any opponent Of the
income tax, who cares to tal1e
the trouble Of sustaining in the
regular and effective way tbs
assertion so often glibly made
that the income tax is unconsti
tutional.
Mr.. Cochran is a lawyer Q
some repute and as he is soon +
retire from Congress he coul'
make both fame and money b.
convincing the courts that the IN
come tax should be declared 10
operative.

China ana Japan
New York Times

New York Times
Only about a year ago, when
there was no reason to suppose
that war would break out between
japan and China, and when It
was supposed that China would
always be more than a match for
her little island neighbor, Lord
Wolsey predicted that the day
would come when China would
adopt Western methods Of mill
tary organization and would then
be in a position to overrun all
Europe. Should Japan com
pletefy conquer China, what
Lord Wolseley predicted might
speedily come to pass. 1t IS idle
to say that so small an Empire
as Japan can never hold SO large
and densely-populated an En-
pire as China. If 40. 900, 600 En-
glishmen can hold and govern
900, 900. 900 Indians from q dis
lance of thousands of miles, 40,
OO0. 900 Japanese can certainly
hold and govern China, which
lies almost within sight of ia
pan.

THE census Of 1890 shows that Of
90, s22, $50 people in this country,
90, -676, GAG, ,or 80 per cent. are OF
foreign extraction. THE larg-
est proportionate number OF this
foreign element is in the North
Atlantic division and the far
West. In the first it is 47.2l per
cent. of the whole and in the last
1857. The South has the small
est proportion, 6.o2 per cent. IN
the South Atlantic division and
80 in the South Central divis-
on-the middle West-has 1902
per cent" says the exchange
from which these figures are
taken. That tells the whole
story. The isms That have
cursed this country are not ma.
tive-born. They have been
brought over by the foreign ele.
ment in our population. This
foreign element is very small il
the South and therefore the dan
gerous isms are reduced to thu
minimum in this section. bu
Populism is one Of them.

Our Paper Currency,

Engineering and Mining Journal,
The United States is, with the
exception of Russia, the only na
ton 0f,the first rank in which the
paper currency is issued by the
government. In our own case
the conversion of the public
treasury into a bank Of issue IS
| one Of the evil legacies of the
war period. We have not space
here to sum UP all the arguments
on either side, but it can. we
think, be proved that the true
function OF u government, so
far as money is concerned, is
limited to the coinage Of metallic
money, that is, to the estab-
lishment of standards and the is
sue Of gold, silver and subsidiary
coins with the government stop
guaranteeing that such coins do
conform to those standards. The
use of government paper leaves
in the hands Of the Legislature a
power over the business Of the
country, which is always dam
J gerous and liable to abuse; it inn
poses obligations on the
public treasury which are out
: Side of it's legitimate functions,
; and makes its condition a con
) stantly disturbing factor in trade
f as has been only too apparent
) during the past year; it fosters q
spirit Of dependence and a ten
dency to look to government in
! itiative rather than to individual
enterprise; and it encourages q
general disposition to condone
extravaganza in government by
accustoming the average man tc
look upon the public treasury a:
an institution which create:
Y money at will instead Of asimplC
t disbursing agency which pay:
out the money he ana other:
contribute from their earnings
The ideal currency reform
would, therefore, provide 70
the withdrawal Of all governmen
issues, and the substitution of
r proper bank note currency.
Such a thorough reform imme
diately is not, however, posi-
BILE. No measure for the com
plete funding of the legal ter
: ders and treasury notes could b
: expected to pass through Cor
gress at present. The best tia
can be done now is to make q bt
a ginning and provide for tn
"a change gradually.

TIE chaotic state of the public
mind with regard to the general
question of methods by which
currency reform can be safely
and satisfactory reached is shown
by the press comment of the
week. Some oppose the Car
Isle plan as altogether to favor
able to the National banks,
while others object that the con
ditions are made so hard for the
banks that they will not accept
them. Some fear that the plan
would force the country upon 9
silver basis or lead to disastrous
wildcat bullying, while others
see in it only the triumph o.
gold recommendation, with The
State bank provision as the only
redeeming feature. Some see II
it too much imitation, others too
much contraction. And so OF
though the whole list of distinc
tive features. Moreover, man,
