It is gratifying to find an eastern pa. per that appreciates the importance of reclaiming our vast ares of arid lands
 The Journal for Investors, of Boston, always broad in it's views, says "The irrigation of waste lands is one of the most important occupations in which q government can be engaged '; better than subduing foreign nations by force of arms better than building warships and forts and custom houses. It is more important than any of these things, but unfortunately much more unusual. It has this advantage over building bat. tleships-it will make little or no de- mands upon the public treasury. Il will do immense good and may cost nothing. The sales of laDds made fruit. ful by irrigation will probably more than compensate for the necessary out
 lay. And the increased taxable value of the lands will furnish us a source ot public income for all time to come"

The Clifton Copper Era states that leading democrats of Graham county have endorsed John J. Birdno for county assessor, and Arturo Elias for clerk of the board of supervisors. The Era says "The appointments have not yet been made, as that will be one of the duties of the new board of supervisors, but the matter has been practically settled. Leading democrats from all sections of the county met at Solomonville Saturday last, and it is understood that the in- coming members of the board have agreed to the appointments as sug- gested by the leaders. Other appli- cants had many warm friends and sup porters in the lower valley, who now understand what defeat means, and are feeling pretty sore"

The New Mexican calls attention tc the fact that New Mexico's coal pro- duction already exceeds its gold and silver output, and estimates that ten years hence it will equal the production of all other minerals combined. Not that there will be q decline in the lat ter, for that will steadily increase, but that coal mining will increase so much more rapidly than the mining of all other minerals. The coal area of New Mexico is larger than that of Pennsyl- vania or of Great Britain and the terri heritage that it possesses.

President Roo 'evelt, in his speech at the opening of the New York cham Der of commerce, said "The first requi- site of good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight that he shall not be mere passenger, but shall do his share in the work that each generation of us finds ready to hand and, furthermore, that in doing his work he shall show, not only the capacity for sturdy self help, but also self-respecting regard for the rights of others" "Them's our sentiments.

Preparing to Assault the Treasury.

The editorial in our last issue show ing the manner in which Legislation is controlled and the territorial treasury footed in the interests of the public in- stitutions of Arizona was timely, in view of the disclosures since made in some of our exchanges, of designs in- cubating to increase the number of in- stitutions supported by the taxpayers, and to so distribute them that the per nicious legislative combination would be made irresistible.
 The Arizona Bulletin is first to the front with a proposition to establish a territorial poor farm, scheme which was exploited by the last legislature and came very near to being fastened upon a long-suffering pablic. There is no other political division of the United States in which prosperity among the people is so general as it is in Arizona It is, in fact, a rare thing to find in this territory indigents who are public charge. In majority of the counties, where there are any such, their num- bers are so small that the allowances for their support are trifling There are, perhaps, three or four counties in Arizona that find the support of iudi- gents burdensome, but it would be manifestly unfair to ask other counties more fortunate in this respect, to re- lieve them of part of the expense The suggestion is preposterous.
 Another plan, no less inconsistent, comes from the Journal Miner, namely, to have the school of mines removed from Tucson to Prescott, on the spe- cious plea that Yavapai county is one of the heaviest contributors to the ter ritorial treasury and, therefore, is en- titled to portion of the plunder.

Arizona Has Reason to Be Thankful

The people of no other political division of the United States have greater reason for thankfulness and encouragement today than the pro gressive citizens of our favored terri tory. The growth of the mining industry in Arizona during the past year has been substantial and highly satisfactory. The operation of her mines has given lucrative employment to thousands of sturdy workmen and infused life into every other line of business and human endeavor within her borders. Furthermore, the pro duct of her smelters and mills, in copper, gold and silver, has enriched the nation and contributed very materially to sustaining the proud position of the United States as the wealthiest and most progressive country of the civilized world.
 No feature of Arizona's industrial development has been so marked as that of railroad extension. The num- Der of miles of railroad built and equipped in this territory, within the past twelve months, has been exceeded in very few of the states. and the pro spect of even greater activity iu rail road construction iu Arizona the coming year is very bright. There is nothing so encouraging to the rapid development of our resources as this active construction of railroads, be- cause they are ths arteries of com merce which carry life to remote districts and wonderfully stimulate dormant industries.
 It was wise provision of the Creator that so distributed natures blessings as to furnish the incentive to the human race to migrate until it has peopled every portion of the habitable globe. It was thought, not many years ago, that Arizona had been overlooked iu this apportionment, but investig tion has revealed that she is richly endowed with a wealth of mineral, and climate so varied and healthful as to challenge admiration, and comparison with that of any other portion of the world Nor is Arizona so deficient as was formerly believed, in agricultural resources. Wherever her ard valleys have been bathed with the vitalizing waters of her streams they have been transformed into fruitful oases, yielding bountiful harvests of golden grams and luscious fruits.
 Arizonans can truly say that the lines have fallen to them in pleasant places, and it is an unresponslve heart that at such season as this does not we'll with giadness and thanksgiving,

fact that the Phoenix Republican en- dorses this proposition arouses the sus- picion that it is a Murphy scheme, as both the Journal Miner and Republican are Murphy organs. and Frank Mur- phy (without denying him the credit oi being public-spirited citizen) isalways alive to the main chance of boosting Prescott, and, incidentally, of course, swelling the revenues of the Santa Fe,
 Prescott X Phoenix railroud.
 There are several reasons why the removal of the school of mines would
 be unadvisable It is now we'll housed and equipped, and as it is depart ment of the University of Arizona and under the supervision of the president of that institution, the segregation oi the school of mines is not desirable. As for location, it could not be more favorably situated, The opportunities offered students for observation of the practical operation of great mines and processes for the reduction of various kinds of ore in southeastern Arizona are superior to those afforded by Yava- pal county and adjacent mining dis tricts. At Clifton, Morenci, Pearce, Bisbee and Douglas, and at La Cananea, in Sonora, are situated mines and mod ern reduction works which are not equalled within like radius, anywhere in the west, and they are all within easy access of Tucson. The removal of the school of mines to Prescott means that the territory would be sad dled with another issue of bonds to provide funds for the erection of the buildings that would be required. But another and greater obstacle to the re- moval of the school of mines is that it is created by the federal government and it is q question whether its location could be changed without the consent of congress.
 In Cochise county they will try to galvanize into semblauce of life that abortion, the reform school, and the Risbsa Minor has called f,r a enufpr. ence of the chief conspirators to deter mine for what amount of money the territory shall be held up to furnish and equip the useless structure. Rest assured they will not be modest in their demands.
 It has always been the policy of the SILVER BELT to oppose pernicious leg islation and use it's influence to protect the interests of the taxpayers of the territory at large. We have DO patience with the narrow and vicious tactics of some of our public men and newspapers who seek to build up their own com munity or county to the detriment of others. Rather let them abate theIr selfish demands discuss public ques- tions as they affect the whole territory and counsel retreuchment and economy in legislation
