 leave them any net revenue). Last year TIE OASIS and it's owners paid one and one-half per cent of the gross revenue of the business for taxes. Had the Copper Queen paid that rate upon its net revenue, the total tax of that company would have been S210,000.00, in- stead of about $10,OO0. (If recol- lection serves aright 5000 was what they rendered and what the court ordered accepted in settle ment of their taxes.
 But to return from the digres- sion. While the Copper Queen Company disbursed (so alleged the lecturer) fourteen millions of dollars, it disbursed among its em- ployes about three millions of dollars-an average of more than one thousand dollars a year. Ad- mitting that the division was not equitable it would yet be difficult for Socialism or any other econo- mic propaganda to find a method of distribution which would be equitable to all concerned. For example take the seven thousand dollars which the lecturer asserted the average employe of the Copper Queen earned that company in dividends during the past year. Not only should an equitable dis tribution of that product give a fair share to each man who worked during the particular year In which it was realized, but like fair share should be given to those workmen who toiled to bring the property up to it's present high state of production through years when there were no net earnings nor dividends, and the Socialist, ol anyone else for that matter, com pute what would be fair share for those other workers at Bisbee in the years gone by, whose toll made possible the present net an nual production of S7 ,000 per manl And how could they be traced out their shares allotted and the dis bursement made? It is the wei known fact that it is the work oi years to bring a great mining en- terprise to stage of development where there is net revenue Those who are working when there is a great net revenue are not the only servants of the company wnS would have a right to considera
 ton when it came to so-callec equitable distribution among the producers of the product of the en- terprise. The men working in
 mine in bonanza are by no mean! the sole producers of the rich orei they send to the surface. The mer who worked in the hundreds O feet of shaft or tunnel to reacf that bonanza probably contributed as much or more to its availability as those who extract the ore. Ye their work may have been per | formed at a time when there were

prospector who put in long weary days in searching for the mine which afterward proved so rich. What should and would be his part in the equitable distribution of product?
 Many more situations can be imagined beside those supplied by mining, which would show upon investigation insurmountable ob- stacles to the operation of Social ism. The trouble with that theory is that it is an ideal, which would be possible only in an ideal condi- ton of society, and, in it's entirety, very likely not applicable at all. The advocates thereof, like the ad- vocates of the new religions, fail to discover that both the social insti- tutions and religious institutions of mankind are natural growths, proceeding under natural laws. Man may modify their growth, just as he can trim a tree, or de- velop a new species of fruit; but it is an operation that has to be gone over slowly, carefully and tediously. He has to slowly assist Nature to run into new channels and to develop in new directions. Society is tending slowly toward Socialism. But the Socialist wants it to arrive at once as a magician grows a rosebush within ten min utes, and distributes it's blossoms among his audience.

SOCIALISM AND THE MINING
 INDUSTRY.

 ited by Mir. Harry Mckee, of Cal ifornia, a lecturer upon Socialism and an organizer of Socialist clubs. The gentleman visited Tue son, Phoenix, Bisbee and other points, but Nogales, however, seemed to have been omitted from his itinerary.
 At the time that the lecturer was in Bisbee THE OASIS editor was also a visitor at that place, and heard, in part, the lecture, which was delivered upon one of the streets. One of the most inn portant points presented parti- cularly struck the observation of the writer, and 1t instantly seemed that the most ordinary compre- hension should detect the weak point in the argument and expose its fallacy. The statement and argument were about as presented in the sequent paragraph. By way of premise we will remark that the speaker was addressing a group of men the most of whom are in the employ of the Copper Queen Mining Company. The fol- lowing paragraph, while not the exact words of the speaker, con- vevs the idea. Said he:
 "The financial reports as pub lished present that the Copper Queen Mining Company last year paid in dividends the great sum of fourteen million dollars. Now all that great wealth was distributed among a very few people. l am informed that the number of men employed by this great enterprise is about 1000. The fourteen millions of dollars that those 2,OOO men produced last year, if divided among those who produced It, would have given each and every one of them the munificent revenue of 5000 for the year None oi you received any more than a small fraction of that amount Socialism maintains that under the present system aggregated capital arrogates to itself far more than fair share of the product oi toil."
 With the closing assumption THE OASIS is inclined to agree Aggregated capital not only siezes more than its fair share of com mon production, but It evades lt' fair share of the common burdens and responsibilities. The exper' fence of Arizona with the Copper Queen taxes is a case in point. l the statement of the lecturer O the amount of their dividends be true, the Copper Queen Com pany pay into the public treasury of Arizona and Cochise county only about one-fourteen hundredtf part (one-fourteenth of one pe cent) of their net annual revenue Yet every small rancher and far mer pays into the public treasur! nar nanf of hi

NO sMooT REPORT.
Senate Committee Will Call Many More
Witnesses.

pa 1t now seems probable that the Senate
committee on privileges and elections,
which has the case of Senator Reed Smoot
of Utah under consideration, will not make
a report during the present session of Con-
gress. and will authorize subcommittee
to go to Utah during the recess In order to
collect additional data to be placed before
the full committee early in the next ses-
sion.
This course is made desirable in the opin-
ion Of many of the members Of the COM
mittee, for the reason that number Of
witnesses still to be presented ON the part
of the proteStantS have not been served
with subpoenaS because of their absence
from the country, and also because the
calling of witnesses for the defense cannot
begin until the protestants have completed
their case.
Considerable delay is expected in the pro-
ceedings of the committee on this account,
so that a very brief time would be allowed
for the committee to discuss the matter dur
ing the present session. 1t is likely that
there will be very earnest discussions OF
the case, as the differences of opinion are
very strong on both sides. 1t Is not at all
likely that a committee report can be writ
ten until after a number of meetings have
been held, the testimony been fully COM
sidered and arguments made by Individual
senators.
II is regarded as practically impossible to
report unless the committee should de-
termine upon a course that would involve
merely getting such witnesses as could be
readily secured and on shortening the pro-
ceedings by taking a vote in the committee
before fun expression has been had by sena-
tors who will want to state their views at
length before the committee.
The case of Senator Smoot has gone far
beyond the mere unseating of an individual
senator.o,It is, regarded as one that is to
make one of the most important precedents
In relation to the right of a senator to take
his seat and the bearing that all the ques-
tions relating to the Mormon Church will
have on isssubject that can possibly come
before the Senate. With the extension of
Mormonism into other states besides Utah
1t Is believed that a case will come up dur
ing the next few years in practically the
same form now presented in the matter of
Senator Smoots right to a seat In the
Senate. III g5xs--
The committee is determined to make this
investigation as full as possible, and its
report Will be; one that will probably be
quoted for many years to come. 1t Is also
desirable that a subcommittee should visit
Utah. and although such subcommittee
has not yet been authorized motion for
that purpose II likely to be made in the
near future and 1t is generally believed
that it will be adopted

Citizens Given Hearing by the Commis-
sioners Today.

The Commissioners today granted hear
ing to a number Of business men along Il
street, III Georgetown with reference 10
improving Q, or Water street, in that sec
ton. The citizens stated that the old
tracks laid along the street in question by

vator Company are mainly responsible for

der authority from Congress. The Com

traffic along that street, and frequently
wagons are damaged and horses injured on
account of the bad condition of the road.

town Citizens Association, called the Com
missioners' attention to the law incorporat-
ing the Georgetown Dock, Barge and Ele-
vatOr Company, in which the company is
required to keep the pavement within and
adjacent to the tracks in good repair at its
visions of the charter the District could
proceed to have the charter revoked. The
Commissioners were urged to take steps
to have the street repaired at the expense
of the company controlling the tracks.
Mr. Mscfarland stated that Attorney G.
E. Hamilton. for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. which now controls the
tracks and the franchise, had informed him
that the company intends to extend the
tracks and to take further steps to carry
out the provisions of the charter. In order
to do this. 1t was stated additional con-
gressional legislation is necessary.
The Commissioners stated at the close of
the hearing that they will give the matter
careful consideration.

A dispatch from Toledo. Ohio. last night
SAYS: At a special meeting held here today
