Republican on Water Storage.

HepuDlIcan on water Storage.
We may get federal aid, you say.
Lay aside delusions and seriously |
ask yourself the fesons of such belief
What has Arizona ever gotten from
the federal government? Every state
in the union is represented on the
river and harbor bill, but you will
search the items in vain for Arizona.
We are territory and liable to re-
main SO indefinitely, and anybody
who knows anything at all about
the manner of procuring legislation
knows that "a territory stands no
chance of secureing favors. Ask
Governor Murphy or Col. McCord or
Hon. Hugh Price, or any other man
who has lad experience and he will
tell you that law making is based
on compromises and swaps rather
than right or justice. States may in
the near future be aided but terri
tories, except to help Indians, never
Then suppose the government
should come to our aid. No storage
bill that has ever emerged from a
committee room has stood a ghost of
show of passage by the house
except the Newland bill, and that
bill was shamefully handled and
defeated. And is the Newland bill,
what we wantF Let us see. 1t pro-
vides that the secretary of the in
terror may celect sites. That means
that-sites will be selected in states
having a political pull, for not many
men can withstand political intiu-
ence 1t provides that reservoirs
may be constructed in localities
where there is sufficient desirable
public lands. That means that the
government may confscate the
Mcdowell or Tonic Basin sites, dam
them, store therein the flood waters
and carry this water right by our
homes and farms aud reclaim the
public land below Peoria.
And what will the poor valley do
then? The lands we are living
on; where our homes are; where our
capital is invested are not public
lands. Consequently we will have
no right to the use of the stored
waters. Originally, the Newlands
bill cont aimed clause giving the
secretary the right to conduct
water to public lands or lands that
had already been redeemed, but
that clause was striken out, and
such discretionary powers killed.
Again, the bill docs not provide
for a gift of a reservoir to any To-
callty by the government. The
building of dam constitutes a loan
and users of water must reimburse
the government for all expenditure.
Then what do we gain by federal
aid? Do we want it? Will we be
helped any? Why not build the
dam ourselves aud own it and con-
troll it? Do we want the govren-
ment to complete the Tonto scheme,
store all the water that our bitches
cannot carry, and reclaim more pub
lie l.lndsa How will be benfted by
such. action? The editor of this
paper.is not hankering to pay two
dollars in taxes where he now pays
one. Nevertheless, when he knows
that by the expendituresof a certain
sum of money he cap increase his
business two to ten fold, his business
acumen and sagacity commends the
ivestment.-Republican.

Enjoying, as he does. an unusually
close personal relationship with many
of the most prominent men of affairs
in the Chinese empire, and being di-
rectly and automatically associated
with them, there is probably no one
in the United States today more thor

dom than Mr.. John Goodnow, the
American consul general at Shanghai.
Mr.. Goodnow is not alone well versed
in matters of state in China, but he has
made a study of the Chinese character
and has gained q keen insight into it.
He has also had occasion to judge
many of the officials, whose views and
actions, he declares. have been grossly
misrepresented in the dispatches sent
TO the United States by correspondents.
