TOTE FAIR ALL ROUND

The papers of the country are
full of statements about the great
labor troubles that have beset the
mining industry Of the territory.
We do not believe in belittling
anything that any one does that is
wrong, but we can not see any JUS
tice in exaggering all the good acts
of one side in this perplexing con-
troversy between capital and labor
and magnifying all the bad acts of
the other party. We believe in
fairness to all. If a union man
has the sand to use plain terms
about capitalist, the union man
is usually soon called an anarchist,
while on The other hand a capital
ist can call a union man all sorts
of bad names and he will not be
called anything of the kind, when
in fact he is just as much of an
anarchist. We are opposed to hot
headed performances on either side.
A capitalist has every right Of a
free American citizen and he should
be protected in that right, and so
has laborer all of these rights.
Every one, both capitalists and la
borers, should treat each other with
fairness and the courts will see that
each is given his rights if their in
terests should clash. It is time
that people outside of these con-
troversies should keep their talk
outside also, and there will not be
so much trouble along these lines
in the future, for in the past most
of the trouble has been only talk.

THINKS IT LOOKS BAD

The Silver Belt of Globe is after
the methods of the Old Dominion
Company. It seems that local and
other small stockholders have not
been fairly treated in the matter of
the company raising money by
bonds, etc. The Silver Belt has the
following to say of the affairs of
the company:
"There can be no doubt but that
the stockholders of Old Dominion
have just grievance against the
Boston management. The low es-
Inmates of the most of the new
equipment and development and
the fattering predictions Of the
earning ability of the company
under present conditions, given
publicity with official sanction, dur
ing the past six months, led to the
investment of $4,000 or more by
people of moderate means residing
here and having a good opinion OF
the mine, and while there can be
no question of the merit of the
mine or of the desirable character
of the improvements being made,
yet the loading of the company
with so large a debt, and the giving
away of $4,000 thousand shares OF
stock which six months ago had a
market value Of 1901 900, places
the affairs of the Eastern manage
mept in a bad light, and means
that.the payment of a dividend by
the Old Dominion is indefinitely
deferred.
''On the other hand, there can be
no doubt but that the shares of the
security company that is to take
over the bonds offer a very attract
i've investment, and we would ad-
wise their purchase by stockholders
rs the only sure way to recoup
themselves from loss"

PLAYING THE Sane STRING

A lumber dealer of Prescott said
the other day that his trade with
mining companies during the
month was larger than any month
since he had been in business in
Prescott. This is good evidence
that the falling off of activity in
mining, which occurred on account
of the eight hour law going into
effect June 1st has ceased and that
this industry is once more in it's
normal condition.-Journal-Miner.
1t is wonderful bow our esteemed
contemporary, above quoted, keeps
on insisting that the labor troubles
on account Of the eight hour law
were something serious, when

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1903
THE SURVEYOR GENERAL nATTER

In a recent issue Of this paper we
had considerable to say on the sub
ject of grating. Our remarks were
prompted by the fact that Hugh H
Price had just been removed from
office on account Of the fact that
he had been caught grating. There
has been so much grating in all
circles of the public service of late
that it is no more than right that
Mr.. Price should be allowed to tell
his side of the story. The follow
ing is what Mr.. Price says about
the case:
81 have done nothing that was
not strictly legal. The Act of June
l. 1900, section 10, provides that in
cases where the work of the Sur
veyor Generals office is congested
the clerks can perform work out of
Office hours. When the inspector
was here I showed him this clause;
but it did not seem to have any
effect on him. There was undoubt-
edly scheme to remove me, and
this is made obvious by the fact
that Mr. Richards, the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office,
appointed kinsman as my sue
cessor Ny official acts are open
to the world. There was not a dis
honest act during my administra-
ton, by any one in the Office. We
simply tracked the law and fol-
lowed the precedents of my pre-
decessors' and every Surveyor Gen
eral in the West. I have the state
ments Of various officers, among
which is a statement by a man who
was employed in the Surveyor GEN
erals office of Arizona thirty-seven
years ago, all Of which I will take
to Washington, showing that the
same policy has been followed for
years. It.is simply dirty game
of politics 70 get an Office, and l
am going to Washington for vim
dfcation. I know that l will get it.
Mr.. Richards cannot do me this
way. l do not care for the office.
In fact, l am glad I am out of it,
and l would not have it again; but
my name must be cleared. This
alone will be my purpose in going
to Washington. I want to be set
right before the people of Arizona"
Mr. Price did not like the action
of the inspector when he came to
Phoenix. That official went about
his business in a very secret man
ner, and gathered all his informa-
tion without giving Mr.. Price any
chance to vindicate himself in the
matter. The case was made out
against Messrs. Price and Murphy
and they were dismissed without
the pretense Of a trial. We do
not know that Mr.. Richards is any
more immune to the grating bacil-
lus than any one else, and if Mr..
Price succeeds in getting the vindi-
cation that he says he is going to
get from Washington, then. Mr..
Richards should be removed from
his high position and prosecuted
for malfeasance in office.
The grating business is getting
to be the chief end of public ser
vice. Ii it gets SO that the science
Of grating is a branch OF public
study in the public schools it will
open new line of work for the col
Iege professors, and, in accordance
With the money that usually
changes hands, professorsh;p of
his kind ought to pay "a handsome
igure. And it is likely that ex-

mixed ITEMS

An exchange is responsible for
the following story: The wife Of a
farmer is said to have had sister
come from Chicago to make a visit
recently. One day the threshers
came and the guest insisted on do
ing the work alone and sent her
sister away for rest. When the
hungry threshers filed in to supper
they found a sandwich tied with
ribbon, one chicken croquette, one
cheese ball the size of marble and
buttonhole bouquet at each plate
nothing more. The men refused
to come back for breakfast.
This occurred at Naco. A west
bound train carried party Of
Eastern tourists, On the platform
a young thing with short skirt,
frizzled hair and red Tam O'Shan-
ter rushed up to Conductor Ben
nett of the Cananea road and
blurted out: ooh, my, we have
seen such lovely scenery-so wild
and rugged looking-but what I
want to see is a real, live Arizona
train robber!" And she clasped
her dainty hands in expectant ecs
tacy till the blood rushed to her
fngertlps. The gallant Cananea
short line knight of the ticket
punch, who is veritable Chester
field in the presence of ladies,
pointed out to her Conductor Patsy
Collins of the Ell Paso & South
western and said in hushed tones:
"There's one"-Cananea Herald.
Some of the Phoenix papers show
tendency to gloat over the defeat
Of the San Carlos project, which is
reprehensible as the vicious atti
tude of some few in Florence to the
Tonto reservoir. We do not believe
that even Mr.. Maxwell, however
much he may have been attacked,
will sanction these articles rushing
ing to his defense and in turn hurl-
ing mud at the people at Florence.
Judge Barnes hit the nail> on the
head on Tuesday night when he
said that the people of Tucson view
with remarkable equanimity any
expenditure Of public money in
Arizona.-Tucson Post.
The citizens of Superior are sign

A petition is being circulated
here this week, which will be pre-
sented to the Board of Supervisors,
asking them to order another cleo

a Conference was held at the Capt

on the subject of making provision for
joint discussions in the future. The
conference was attended by Hon. A.
F. Vandeventer for himself Geo B.
Pugh for Judge Wood and Chancellor
J. V. Bourland for Gov. Davis.
A letter was read from Gov. DAVIS,
in which he stated that it seemed to
him to be an effort to cancel the dates
already announced for the present
month, which he opposed. This was
denied by the others, and Mr.. Vande-
venter offered a suggestion that there
be no interference with the dates an
nounced for September, but that each
candidate make ten dates from Octo-
ber /, with the understanding that all
thirty appointments should be for joint
discussion between the candidates.
Mr.. Pugh agreed to this for Judge
Wood. but Mr.. Bourland said he would
have to confer with Gov. Davis, al
though he was agreeable to the sug-
gestion.
The dates for September are as soi-
lows. the first list being those made
by Gov. Davis, to which he has invited
