ARIZONA ASKS AID
IN STATEHOOD FIGHT
Interior Department Called
Upon for Support.

Alexander o. Brodie. governor of Ari-
zona has submitted his report of condi
tions in the Territory for the last fiscal
year to the Secretary of the Interior. He
asks that Ari2oDa's claims to statehood
be given due consideration. and that
such aid as lies within the power of the
Interior Department be extended to Sc
cure the passage of the enabling act now
before the Congress of the United States
for the admission of Arizona, New Mex
leo, and Oklahoma to the sisterhood of
States.
The report says that In 1900 Arizona
had population of 122 PIP, and the .ov-
ernor estimates that, following the rate
Of increase prevailing for the past twelve
years, the population may now be safely
rated at about 100000. The census of
1900 shows in ten years the population
increased 1919 per cent. In 1900 the
total white population was 92.9O3. of
which f0.50S were of native birth. There
were 2G,4S0 Indians in the Territory and
less than 1000 negroes.
y,
the assessors books, amounts to $50 ,083,-
177.57. Tax rates are said to be excess
sively high, and an equitable system of
assessment does not prevail.
The Indebtedness of the Territory is
81, ,065, ,461. 90 and the credit is excellent.
In the two land districts there are A.
393.662 acres of land unappropriated. Ir-
rigation and agriculture are linked to-
gether In Arizona, the latter depending
almost entirely on the former. OF the
rigation 100000 acres have been settled.
The people of the Territory are ardent
irrigationists. The railroad and lumber
industries are fourishing.
Among the recommendations OF Gov
ernor Brodie are the Following:
THAT the Indian school facilities be
increased. in order to more quickly pre-
pare the younger generation to become
THAT the appropriation for the Ma
tional Guard of Arizona be increased
THAT upon the admission of Arizona
to statehood there be set apart, for the
establishment and maintenance of a hos
pital for the aged and infirm miner.
10000 acres of land from the public do
main.
That appropriate measures be taken
by the Interior Department looking to
the rejuvenation of the depleted forest
area in this territory, and that sys-
tenn of tree and tree-seed planting be in
augurated by the division OF forestry

hORGAN'S LONDON ROAD
TO GO THROUGH IN A YEAR
Parliament Overwhelmingly
Eavors Scheme.

LONDON. Oct 29.-The motion to re-
commit the bill granting franchise to
the Morgan group for the construction
of the Piccadilly. City and Northeast
London Railway was withdrawn tonight
in the house of commons after an inter
esting debate.
1t was made clear. however. that the
sentiment of the house was overwhelm-
irgly in favor of the Morgan scheme, and
1t was only because ii involved n grave
violation of ordinary parliamentary
procedure that the proposed action was
not taken.
1t should be explained that the breach
of faith, of which parliament as well as
the Morgan group were victims, was
committed by the promoters of the
western half of the scheme and not by
the Yerkes group.
The latter simply bought up part of
the enterprise for paralleling their Dis
trict Railway, paying therefor an enor-
nous price. and then temporarily killing
the whole enterprise. They had a perfect
right to do this, whereas the sellers had
pledged themselves both to parliament
and to their associates of the Morgan
group not 20 take such action.
But the result of the present situation
is simply that the Morgan scheme is
postponed for one year necessary to re-
gain its parliamentary status There IS
little doubt that all the necessary pow
ers will then be granted by parliament.

PHILIPPINES ARE
WELL GOVERNED
Rapid Progress Made
Towa4d Self Government

Nowhere in the dependencies of
England. Holland, or France in the
Orient has there been granted so
great 4 measure of self government
as :he United States has already
given to the Filipinos.
When one considers that these ma
tions are. beyond question. seriously
working for the good of the natives
and that they are doing what, on
the whole. seems 10 them best. the
inevitable conclusion is that the
government of neither England nor
Holland considers the natives as yet
capable of self government, although
they are making some efforts to-
ward educating and fitting them for
ultimate self-rule
The United States is commended
for its earnestness in pushing for
ward these measures. but the rulers
of the other countries would doubt
less question the wisdom of taking
SO rapid steps.
