doubt very much if the officials named

the apportionment of delegates to the

is the only correct, regular and orderly

it. Apostle Smoot is the Mormon

THE MEANING OF 1T.

The Arizona Star continues its war
on Statehood, fighting under cover, it
is true; but fighting in the only way it
wots of, and to the best of its meager
ability. In it's issue of this morning
our contemporary gives this simple
side swipe to our pretensions:
If climate could be counted as an
asset in the balance for Statehood,
then the Senate committee would
have to return a unanimous report in
favor of Arizona's qualifications for
self government. The weather has
been exceptionally inviting during the
presence of the Senate committee in
the Territory. But this don't count
on election day. 1t don't pay taxes.
1t don't meet the demands of this COM
mercial age, notwithstanding it is "a
large help in attra citing population and
capital to search for our undeveloped
wealth.
This is nice and cooling. 1t ought
TO be soothing to our ambition. 1t is
not candid, of course, but candor is
rot to be expected from the Star. ''It
don't pay taxes" says the Star, which
is bad grammar and worse patriotism.
The plain implication is that Arizona
is not fit for Statehood because of lack
of taxable assets. The people of
Arizona think otherwise. They are
satisfied that the resources of Arizona
are ample to maintain State govern
nent. The Star itself has said SO
more than once.
Why doesn't the Star be candid?
Why does it not tell us the real rea-
son of its OPPOSITION to Statehood?
Everybody knows that it's objection to
the apportionment of delegates to the
constitutional convention is a subter-
fuge Every one knows that the tax
Issue just raised is not put forth hon
estly.
The plain fact is, the Star is not de-
ceiving any one. The cause of its
opposition ito Statehood, it's antagon-
izing of the dearest desire of the
people, and the best interests of Ari-
zona, is well known to all the people.
1t is the insane hatred of the editor
of the Star for the Hon. Marcus A..
Smith. The Star is afraid that If
Statehood is won under the auspices
of Mr.. Smith, the people Of Arizona
will reward him with a seat in the
United States Senate. This would be
80 natural and proper, and so mani
festly just and in accordance with the
eternal fitness of things. that the Star,
in order to deprive Mr.. Smith of his
well earned honor, stands ready to de-
prive the people of Arizona Of the
privilege of self government in order
to wreak its personal vengeance on a
tried and true and faithful public
servant
This is the meaning of the Stars
subterranean war on Statehood. 1t is
merely one of its many little ways of
lighting Mark Smith. 1t will not
succeed. Statehood is coming. Mark
Smith will be Senator, and the ed
itor of the Star can prepare to stew
in his own bile.

PASSING OF THE TARIFF.

The industrial world is fast ANAL
gamating into one family, and the
lines of empires no longer serve as the
horizon of commercial outlook and
the limit of trade expansion Modern
application of steam and electricity in
transportation and communication is
fast annihilating distance, wiping out
racial prejudice, reducing climatic
differences, and so bringing mankind
together in the same mart and into
genial understanding among the peo-
pies of the nations of one another's
commercial needs and capabilities.
Great business houses nowadays are
world institutions, with branches in
the commercial capitals of every con-
! tinent. Within a decade we have seen
the trusts expand from State to inter
state, and now to international scope
and operation. 1t is an evolution
that, to the trade of our own country
at least, means little short of revolu-
tion.
In this new perspective, THE protec-
tive tariff, which has never been re-
garded by any statesman of the first
class. o. ally party, as better than a
necessary evil, must become recog-
nized as an intolerable handicap
Men of all parties who are broad
enough to rise above mere partisan
politics, are beginning to see and to
say that if American industrialism is
to enter the world contest for COM
mercial supremacy, with fair chance,
the tariff shackles must be shaken
from it's hands.
Among such men is Frederic G:
Howe, a Republican, the law partner
of the two sons of James A. Garfield, a
deep student and wise citizen. Mr..
Howe has an article in the current
number of the Atlantic Monthly en-
titled "The End of an Economic
Cycle in which he ably shows that
the age of the protective tariff in this
country is passing. He takes a broad
view of a broad question, and speaks
with a boldness that it's seriousness
demands.
He points out that all history shows
a steady westward shifting of the CEN
ter of world exchanges. The march
that began with the beginning OF
civilization about the rivers of Meso-
potamia tas continued through Phe-
1icia. Greece, Constantinople, Venice
Florence and The Netherlands to Lon
don and Liverpool. Here it halted
because the timely repeal of England s
tariff on corn gave her merchants op-
portunity to grasp and hold the world
trade that had shifted within their
realm. But the march is still west
ward. The Atlantic ocean of today
is the English channel of fly years
ago. Mr.. Howe deems Wall street to
be within the mark in anticipating
| that New York will be the clearing
house of the world within a compare
lively few years. and that we of this
country have now reached a position
not unlike that which confronted Sil
Robert Peel
The analogy is striking, the array
OF historical sequence is impregnable
and the reasoning is irresistible. II
is in behalf of the American producer
Howe argues for tariff readjustment
designed to awaken more cordial trade
relations between this and the other
countries of the world.
