The Elkins law forbidding favors
from railroads to shippers has caused
the railroads to notify all large ship
pers that they must not expect re-
bates, free storage, or anything of the
kind. Hereafter the big shipper and
the little shipper will be on an equal
footing.

Dr. Crum, the colored man appointed
by President Roosevelt to be collector
of the port at Charleston, makes a dig
nifed defense of himself against the
numerous assaults which he has suf
fered in the senate and elsewhere, and
his language denotes an intelligence of
which the colored race can be proud.
The copper era. (Clifton, Graham County, Ariz.) 1899-1911, 1903-04-16

THE Globe Belt, one of the staunch
old time democratic papers of the ter
ritory, seems greatly displeased with
the work of the last legislature, ms
the following will attest:
The worst feature of the record of
the Twenty-secoud is the fact that
practically all the bills introduced
apprOpriating money, or increasing
the territory's Indebtedness, passed
both houses, with the exception of
the bill To establish a manual train
ing school ut Prescott. and the failure
OF that measure in the council was
Governor Brodie of the bill establish
ing n like institution in Graham
county Had those two measures be-
come laws, as the plotters had reason
TO believe they would. the territorial
tax levy would have been the same
as 1T was last year. viz: Sl.137. The
present estimate of this years levy is
81 O95. which taxpayers will consider
sufficiently high.
Neither does the legislature deserve
any credit for the reduction, rs the
demands on the treasury as a result
of the late legislative session will be
rs great, if not greater, than they
were in the past two years. The ex-
PLANTATION OF the expected reduction
in the territorial levy is found in the
fact that the levy last year was unnec-
essarily large auG left a surplus in the
general fund which it is proposed to
apply to meeting obligations incurred
10y the Twenty-second legislature,
which was no less eXtravagant than
its predecessor, as the Review will
discover upon investigation.
The fact is that our legislatures are
Suoservient To the demands of the
territory institutions located i'll five
different counties, each OF which
elects representatives to the legisla-
ture for the avowed purpose of Sc
curing further appropriation for its
pet institution, whether needed or
not, and n combination of these in
terests is sufficiently strong to get
what they want, and they do not
hesitate To punish those who oppose
their unreasonable demands. There
appears 10 be no hope CT escape for
the taxpayers from this biennial
holdup as long as our public institu-
tons are so wildly scattered. If
they were grouped in two, or at most
three counties, they might then be
eliminated rs controlling factor in
legislation, and their more economi-
cal and efficient administration as
sured.

a number OF the states have enacted
laws that a certain number of hours
shall constitute a days wOrk-some

These statutes have been attacked
on the grounds that they restrict the

discriminate between dinerent classes
of citizens.

Another Runaway.


Billy Hamilton had a runaway last
week which came near putting an END
+ to his earthly career. A friend OF his.
Mr.. Glasscock OF Stafford. was in town,
and as Billy wanted 10 show him
around a bit he hired rig and they
started out for drive. II Is well
known among Billy's friends that he
/ i just a little proud Of his ability TO
handle team, and some Of the boys
gave Glasscock q tip 10 that effect.
When they were well started Mr..
GlasscOck remarked that he could see
at a glance that Mr. Hamilton was
man with great experience as a
driver, in fact he said be did not re-
member ever having met man who
handled a team with such perfect
grace and implicit confidence. This
swelled Billy little, and he remarked
that he had a record As the hest and
safest driver on the coast. why"
said Billy, this thing of having acct
dents and runaways is all foolishness.
One time when l was with party OF
excursionists in the Hawaiian islands
our driver lost control OF his horses,
and we were dashing down the noun
/ tain at fearful rate. The ladies
were screaming. and the men, too,
were scared nearly to death, but |
/ grabbed the lines" and that was the
| last OF the story, for the team was of
/ like shot They had jerked the
buckle.Qn. the check rein through the
ring DILL / tlp46- OF the harness, leav-
! ing tn; ~ one line with which
to handle his team. Mr.. Glasscock
said he guessed he would jump cut
but Billy told him he would be killed
anyway and he might as well stay
with it. The buggy smashed into
tree growing in the street between the
COlquhoun and Veitch buildings. and
when. picked himself up from the
dust about forty feet away he saw Mr..
Glasscock hanging in the tree about
ten feet from the ground. Mr.. Glass
cock then lost consciousness and fell to
the ground. a lady came out with a
pitcher of water which she poured on
his head and he soon revived sutfi
ciently - ask If he was bleeding much
and If his face was spoiled. 1t was
soon found that he was not hurt at all
only Jared little. Billy also got
off pretty lucky, but he's as tough as
a knot anyway. The buggy was scat
20 tho to tho Rlinn lnT1,-
Der yard. After they had busted up
Mr.. Glasscock stated that he was
deeply interested in that coach load of
people in Hawaii, and would like TO
hear the details Of their rescue, but
Billy preferred to talk about irriga-
tion.
Dick Lakcnan returned this week
from Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he
spent some months for his health. He
returns greatly improved, and has
hopes of permanent recovery. He
stopped over in FL Paso, Douglas and
Bisbee on his return, and at those
places met many old time Clifton
people. He reports that DR.. Cool is
doing a splendid business in FL Paso,
and has the handsomest dental par
lOrs in the state. At Douglas he says
that Bill HARP and Frank Ray have
the finest sal0iTq in town, and are do
ing a big business. Mickey Hogan,

known as Coal Oil Johnny, are all in

PASSING OF THE SALOON.


The Baltimore Sun observes that
with very little agitation and, no
partisan campaigns prohibition has
recently made long strides IN the
South. Without any great prohibi-
ton propaganda to attract general
attention the legislators have been
passing laws that are designed to
wipe out the saloon in the country
districts and restrict it in the
towns.
Tennessee is not the only state to
restrict the territory of the saloon.
North Cardinals legislature has
very recently enacted law which
prohibits distilleries and saloons
outside Of regularly incorporated
towns There is also local option
feature by which a majority vote
can exclude the saloon from any
town and an active campaign is now
being carried on in many towns in
the state. ny: .,>
Virginia also has new law which
provides that a majority of the
voters of a precinct must petition
for a saloon therein before the same
shall be lawfully established. This
does not apply to towns of over 500
population. The effect of his law
is prohibition in nearly every town
to which it applies. In many of the
larger towns prohibition already
prevails under a local option law.
Nearly dozen local option elections
are soon to be held in Virginia.
One or two states which have
tried prohibition have abandoned
it and sought to regulate the traffic
through local option and similar or
other methods. In the South legis-
lation against. the saloon in the
smaller towns where it has been
unrestrained in its operations and
it's evils by proper regulation has
not been the result of any fanaticisn
or emotional enthusiasm, but of a.
deliberately formed determination
to be rid of the saloon where police
regulation is not adequate-Nash-
vile American.
