THE DEMANDS UPON PHOENIX.

The necessity for concentration of effort by the citizens of Phoenix to fur ther the city's growth and improve ment and business progress was never more apparent than now Phoenix has reached that point where it can go for ward or remain unattractively sta tionary, just as its citizens shall de- cree.
 The city is not finished.
 With all it's splendid business pro gress and opportunities it is but at the threshold of it's commercial des- tiny.
 Its wholesale trade is in the infancy of it's development
 Its retail trade is capable of a vast expansion, simply by improving the means within the city's borders for easy and rapid communication be- tween different districts through good streets and avenues.
 Its health and the comfort of living can be added to by drainage and bet ter and more sewerage.
 The factory plants can be porftably and easily doubled by effort on the part of the citizens.
 i Is any attempt being made to accom- plish this desirable development? Are not the business men themselves, and the citizens generally, sitting idly by and waiting and hoping for better and greater things without putting forth the effort necessary to secure them And in the meantime are not other Ar izona cities, such as Prescott, Flag staff, Tucson and Yuma, actively dis cussing ways and means for growth and improvement?
 We need concentration of thought and action here upon some of these ways of acquiring new power and prosperity, new people and new enter prises, new comforts and additional local attractions. The city is rich, ad, mirably situated, we'll equipped for az. gressiVe action. There is only one thing needed-vigorous and harmo- niouS concentration of effort on the part of the wideawake citizens in any given direction of development ani progress.
 Nothing is ever accomplished with. out labor, and labors are futile unless

concentrated upon some specific ob- ject. Let the business and progress sive elements get together and deter mine upon the first great need of the city and bend every energy for its realization. After success there, il will be easy to turn attention to some.
 thing else. But, above all, let us set a beginning made toward building { Greater Phoenix this year. .

and not leased at all Provision should be made for appraisal of agri- cultural lands at their actual value as unimproved lands, and the first right given to actual settlers to take lease.
 The right of such actual settler should be restricted to the smallest legal subdivision containing his inn provements, and no more than one quarter section should be leased to any one person or company. Where there are rival claimants to the posses sion of the land provision should be made for submitting the dispute to the courts. The powers of the leasing board should be exactly limited and defined and an appeal from their de- cisions allowed We intend no reflec- tion upon the integrity and legal acu- men of Governor Hughes, Secretary Bruce and Superintendent Netherton; i; but the power which the Murphy law places in the hands of two of these to mismanage or squander, or corruptly dispose of the childrens' heritage is too great to be trusted to any two men.
 Delegate Murphy has gratifed his spleen and his vanity by inducing the house of representatives to sustain him in overriding the veto of the pres ident. Now let him take counsel of his cooler judgment and not press the matter in the senate He must not suppose that his conclusion not to be- come a candidate for reelection gives him license to antagonize the interests and wishes of his constituents. His statement to the house that only per sons using school lands without pay ing rent or taxes protested against his bill, will get him into trouble with a good many of those who signed the protests if he even returns to Arizona. And if he does not return, he can hardly afford to take into another com munity the unsavory reputation which |. ol, a1 1o 1o- will give him.
 Besides he owes something-not to The Republican, which never trusted him, or believed in him-but he owes something to the many friends who en- dorsed and defended him and who now are embarrassed by the mention of his name.

Are the business men of this city preparing, or thinking of preparing, for the accomplishment of something out of the ordinary for Phoenix this year? Or do they propose to allow rival cities to display all the progress sive energy and extra development in 1896? These are questions of vital in- tereSt.

It is stated in an official report that the establishment for a cure for the liquor habit in each of the National soldiers homes has reduced drunken ness in such institutions fifty per cent. Nobody is required to take the cure, but all who need it are given an op- portunity to do so without expense to themselves.
