change of statehood. These mining
corporations nave had things their
own way all along the line, but in no
particular so emphatically as in the
assessed valuation of their property
upon which they ar called to pay tax
es. For instance, the Tombstone Con
so1idated Mining company is a cor
poration in Arizona that has put out
$4,000, 900 worth of bonds of which
amount $4,000, 900 already have been
sold. They bear interest at the rate
of 6 per cent. and this interest has
been promptly paid. This great pro-

Don't Want Statehood.

These powerful corporations do not
want statehood. They can operate
more independently and proitably
under a territorial form of govern
ment, and they stand ready to devote
a big share of their millions to the
work Of preventing the passage of a
bill giving Arizona either single
statehood or joint statehood with
New Mexico. There are other mem
bers of the United States senate who
are interested in these mining COM
panies besides Senator Clark, of
Montana.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Walter Wellman
writing from Washington to the Rec
ord-Herald, says:
Lobbies are thick in the corridors
of the big, white national statehouse
these days. There is the railroad
lobby. well n persistently main
| tanned. But the most strenuous and
dangerous, as well as the most pictur
esque lobby of all is the mine own
ers' lobby from Arizona, here fighting
statehood for that territory. 1t is
picturesque because of the bold me
thods it employs, and because it has
at least two United states RSenators
among its owners and hackers. 1t is
dangerous because of the feasibility
that grave scandal may rebuilt from
its operations. 1t is a lobby with hun
dreds of millions If dollars back of
it. The agents and manipAlators of
its schemes are too smart to- offer out
right brides. But they -havf mining
stock for sale-stock which is sure
to earn a big proft-stock THAT will
pay big to all who get i4 on the
ground floor. And just nov we are
letting a little of it to our fiends."

Cause of the Caucas.
1t was knowledge of the operations
of this mine owners lobby that led
the leaders of the house to call the
caucus on statehood which was held.
Speaker Cannon and his ~lieutenants
wanted to line members up on the
question in order to defeat he machi-
nations of the lobby and also to pro-
tect members against the insidious in
fuences that might be brought to
bear upon them. 1t is not often that
a lobby is able to fill the minds of
party leaders with alarm for the safe
ty. of their flock. The Arizona opera
tors may axe a little pride in this
achievement, even if they are not
successful in preventing statehood As
energetic and courageous members
of the third house, they have estab-
lished a record, and men Fho would
engage in such an enterprise are nat
