THE PRISON CONTRACT.

NOTWITHSTANDING the recent decision | of Judge Baker relative to the validity the prison contract, there is a certainty that its fulhllment could not be accomplish ed without great detrimeut to the interest of the territory. The contract is altagether too one-sided to be of benefit to a.yoae except the Arizona Improvement Com pany.-9'acson Citizen.
 The Cjtissn evidently does not consider, that to increase the en tire present agricultural interests of Arizona by one-half is of any importance to the Territory and probably considers that to increase the present population with twenty or twenty-five thousand inhabi- tants beside adding several million dollars worth of taxable property to our assessment roll, would be an injustice to the already overbur- dened taxpayers of Arizona.
 Seventy cents per day for con vict labor is the highe~t price paid for such labor in any State or Ter ritorv of the Union, and we are ready to prove that $2O0, 900 worth of water rights have been sold on the basis of this contract at the rate of $20 per acre in cash, and which is the stated price in the contract with the Territory. To any one familiar with this fertile valley, which is well called--the Egypt of America-with the sup erabundance of water that will be ir the canal that is proposed 10 be taken from the Colorado, knows only too we'll that water rights in such 8 canal will be worth more than $20 per acre, which is the stipulated price in the Territorial contract
 If the press and the politicians who are bowling for Statehood would cease their political jug glery and the press lay aside for a short time their policy Of imped- ling the great progress and develop ment of Arizona fO: no other req son than to display their b!tteI hatred and personal spite for theil nelghho:s and business competitors the Territory would soon posses, the population and wealth that would entitle her to a high place among the siSterhood of states md the question of statehood would soon be settled without opposition
 After the Big Canal at Yuma i> built, if the Ctti@en has sufficient sagacity to find another enterprise as worthy as this and from whict as many benefits shall accrue tC the Territory provided we have men in the high political place. who have the welfare of Arizon; and its people at heart, these mel would not be worthy of their trust f they failed tn award the Citioe' contract as liberal as he claims this one to be.
 ; The people of Arizona have born'
 mnch from it's honored men, bu
 they are too brave and too patri- etic to allow repudiation to b ever stamped upon it's solemn con ftrauts.
