THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.

The Kansas City platform would
cause the country greater uneasiness If
the country had not already had sx-
perienee with the Brysnites four years
ago. Then practically the same ideas
expressed in the party platform caused
q shuddsr of anxiety and thrill Of
patriotism to sweep through the coun-
try among the great majority of the
people Of the nation, those who be-
Heved and still believe that the only
danger to the repu blic is to be located
in the Bryanite''psrty.
The Bryanites-they are no longer
to be called demoorats-prats about
the danger to the republic that es in
the fullest development of our indus
trial resources and In the acceptance
of the trust that has been imposed up
on us BY the chances of war in the east
ana west Indies. Their scresd might
we'll be classified under that great
category of matters that are impor-
tant If true. But starting with state
ments of things that are not + cts, the
platform proceeds to deduce csnclu-
sions that are not warranted.
A few illustrations will make the
point clear.
"We declare again that all govern
msnts instituted among men derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed" says the Kansas City
platform. This tenet carried out dur
ing the building of the republic would
have made impossible the addition of .
single one of the states and territories
outside of the original thirteen, with
the exec ption of Texas. 1t is only ne
cessary to think over the manner of
annexing Florida, the Northwest Ter
rftory, the Louisiana Purchase, Ore
gon. the Great South west, the ella
river or Gadsden purchase, and Alaska
"We declare that to impose upon
any people a government officer is to
substitute methods of imperialism for
those of a republic" How about the
territorial governments of Arizona,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Hawaii,
with the unorganized territory OF
Alaska? Has the cry of imperialism |

That Poll Tax Law.

From all over Arizona comes an in
dignant howl from the people who OBJ.
ject to the poll tax law. The news.
papers have drilled the matter into the
people so long that many regard them
selves as the subjects of a legislative
bunco game. With the exception Of
the MINER, the newspapers have de-
clared the law unconstitutional, but on
tnat score Judge Sloan's recent decis-
ion sets the matter at rest. So few
people really understand the object of
the poll tax that we believe it is our
duty to explain. The II tax is the
outgrowth of the old feudal system of
levying head tax for nearly all purpo-
ses and has been maintained in nearly
all the states of our great union. In
Arizona the poll tax goes toward the
support of the public schools, a most
worthy object. As only about one man
in ten in Arizona pays a property tax
of any kind there should be no obiec
tion to the donation of two and one
half dollars yearly to aid our educa-
tional institutions. A man who pays
no property tax should not object to
this donation, but we regret the fact
that it is this class alone that offer the
greatest objections. Last year there
were over 500 poll taxes sold in this
county by the sheriff, which returned
to the school fund the snug little sum
Of l,259.25S. This am cunt when appor.
toned among the school districts Of
the county aided them in keeping
school open full month longer than
they could otherwise have kept in ses-
sion. Looking at the matter in this
light we must say that in our humble
opinion the poll tax law should stand
and when the people realize its great
benefit to the public schools they will
fully agree with us.

Republican Delegate.

lion. n. o. Murphy was chosen by
the republican territorial convention,
in session at Phenix Tuesday last, to
make the race for Congress. His nom
ination was practically unanimous.
Gov. Murphy represented Arizona in
congress a few years ago, having de-
feated John G. Herndon, one of the
able,t of the Yavapai democrats. He
made an excellent record for himself
aud is one of the ablest republicans in
Arizona today. His nomination may
not heal the breach in the repu 5lican
r4nks in Yavapai aud Maricopa coun-
ties, but be will otherwise receive his
full party vote. If the democrats al
low two candidates TO make the race
in Arizona Oakes Murphy will repre-
sent the territory next winter in Con-
gress. With Wilson alone in the field
the same thing would result.
Mohave County miner., 1900-09-29

The Prescott Prospect, owned and
controlled by Kernal Wilson, gave
forth the fat, before the convening Of
the late territorial convention, that
under no condition of circumstance
would the Kernal accept a turning
down at the hands of Mark Smith.
Wilson intended to bolt the democratic
convention because he knew that the
people of Arizona would never consent
in convention or otherwise to his NOM
ination.
Mohave County miner., 1900-09-29

This winter Mohave county promot-
ers and mine owners ought to make
concentrated effort to induce the in
vestment of capital in our mines. The
cold weather in the northern mining
regions will drive investors to more
congenial climates and Mohave county
should be made as attractive as pos
sible to them. We have great bodies
of low grade ores and many small veins
Of very high grade, and ought to be
able to suit all sorts of investors. Along
the river range are hundreds Of big
veins of goldbearing ores that can be
worked by the cyanide process to a
high percentage. The copper, gold,
silver and lead mines of the other
ranges offer great inducements to cap.
ital and we hope our people will take
advantage of the fact.
