SIGN THE PETITION.

Many thousands of citizens of Ari
 zona have signed the petition against
 the joint statehood proposition. but there are yet many thousands who have not had an opportunity to do so
 who will afix their signatures when
 the petition is presented Before the
 time for the assembling of congress the Anti-Joint Statehood League should see that in each precinct in
 Arizona this petition is circulated thoroughly. so that when the peti
 tions shall have been combined it will be a complete roster of the citizens of the territory. Outside of few scat tering lawyers and politicians in Phoe nix and Tucson, there is no sentiment to be found in this territory favoring joint statehood, and this fact should be emphasized to the greatest possi ble extent at Washington with the as of congress. Arizona has been prepared for statehood by indus trious and public spirited citizenship, and until the territory can be granted single statehood our people are per fectly content to remain under the present territorial form of govern ment

tional strife between the different
 portions of the country as to the measure of protection which this
 power of regulation might be invoked
 to confer upon the various sections Ia contest in which the newer and more sparsely settled regions of the
 United States would suffer by reason of the overmastering political power
 of the populous centers, and from
 this source of danger the products of
 California are especially menaced.
 'The export commerce in the green citrus and deciduous fruits. the dried and cured fruits, the vegetables. theI wine and the lumber products of Cali, fornia must be carried an average distance of over 2500 miles to reach their center of distribution in the United States. These products com pete with like eastern products which are carried an average distance of less than 250 miles. Owing to thel disparity in volume between the east | bound and westbound traffic. the rail. | roads have heretofore carried thel products of California the distance noted and delivered them in eastern markets at a rate that has enabled them to successfully compete with like products in the freight move ment of which but one-tenth of thei distance has been covered. f
 That this fostering policy, refer able to the existing conditions of traffic would be continued under political control and direction of freight distribution in the United States is not even probable.
 Tn view of these objections,
 Be it resolved by this board, That the senators and representative in congress from the state of California be requested to exercise their influ ence and cast their votes against the policy of conferring upon the Inter state Commerce Commission the power to fix the rates of transporta. ton on the interstate commerce of this country" !

Col. Wilson acted wisely in declin- ing to accept Allen T. Birds invita- tion to discuss the statehood question with him. The people of Arizona have already decided their course to be pursued on the question of statehood, and any discussion now could benefit no one. unless it would be Bird, who would be given an opportunity to shout little louder in his effort to at tract the attention of the Republican powers which he imagines will push the joiat-statehood bill through Con- gress whether the people of Arizona want it or not. The people of Arizona are a practical unit in opposition to joint statehood. and they are now ex- ertiDg every effort 10 that end, and they will never consent to any form of statehood except single state for Arizona. When that will come will depend upon how soon the American people will get their eyes open to Re publican iniquity and place Democrats in control of the government. There is nothing before the people of Arizo- ma. affecting statehood, to be de- bated ny anyone.

RAILROAD RATE REGULATION.

While everybody will concede that the present conditions of rebate and discrimination by the railroads of the country has had much to do with building up trust monopolies of the United States there is a very pro nounced opposition to the proposition 10 empower a government commission to fix rates. In California this opposi. tion has recently manifested itself in the state board of trade, which re. gently adopted the following preamble and resolutions:
 The California state board of trade hereby expresses it's unqualified op- position to the policy of conferring upon the Interstate Commerce Com. mission the power to regulate rates of transportation upon interstate com merce carried by the railroads of the United States.
 The conferring of such power would, in the opinion of this body, COufSIl tue luteI5ldle commerce Commission into a board of traffic managers for all the railroads carry. ing interstate trafic-a policy which would be the equivalent of a merger of such railroads and the extinguish ment of every element of competition
 "It would contravene the national policy crystaliized in what is known as the antitrust law, the provisions of which were so successfully invoked in resisting the merger of the North ern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads.
 ''It would vest the Interstate Com. merce Commission with the power to regulate the earning capacity of the s1. 400, 100000 invested in the rail roads of the country, and by thus con stituting that commission a potent factor in the transportation business of the country would confer upon the railroads the moral right to enter the arena of politics in their corporateI capacity as a measure of defense against the possible arbitrary and confiscatory exercise of this power.

Some Of the Republican papers are inclined to twit Mark Smith because of his recent statement that he win introduce no statehood bill for Arizo- na in the coming congress, and inti- mate that Mark was elected to Con- gress last year on the slogan of Mark Smith and Single Statehood. p Such papers are only trying to mis- lead those who do not know the facts. The people of Arizona elected Mark Smith because they believed he could accomplish more in the fight to defeat Joint-statehood. than any other person in Arizona, and we believe that no mistake was made. Mir. Smith has accomplished much in this fight already, and will be found fighting to the very last ditch. Mark Smith has never deceived his colleagues in Con- gress during his twenty years as de!- egate from Arizona, and he has the confidence and friendship of many of the strong men in Congress, Republi- cans as well as Democrats. who may be depended upon to give Arizona a helping hand whenever it is possible for them to do so.

After all the Republican talk of railroad rate legislation it is dollars to doughnuts that nothing Will come of it. Already it has been pretty well demonstrated that the plan of having a commission fix all railroad rates in inc country would be imprac- teal. The fact is that if the Repub- licaD administration would enforce the present law for controlling railroads there would not be so much, cause of complaint. It is to be hoped that the people of this country will not al ways remain hoodwinked by the Re publicans, as they have been for ten years.

This was the very smallest of business on the part of the citizens of Phoenix and the newspapers that engaged in it. but if few people in Phoenix are small, that is no reason for other peo- pie in the territory reducing them. selves to a like minimum.
 The territorial fair is in the hands of broad-minded men who have ever been active in advancing the inter ests> of Arizona and who have pro vided the money for an enterprise
 which will do more toward adver- Using the territory than any effort which has recently been made. These men are in this enterprise to benefit the whole of Arizona, and they should be encouraged by every county in the territory and every public spirited citizen.
 Cochise county, or rather Bisbee, has already come forward handsomely in this matter by providing a thousand dollar purse to be known as the 'Bisbee purse" on the racing track. The board of supervisors has given its endorsement of the fair by ap. pointing a commissioner for Cochise county to look after the interests of this section at the fair. Besides the mineral displays from this county there are many other industries here which could give prominence if they were properly handled at Phoenix
 From Douglas could be sent an ex hibit of the Copper City Brewery, which would show that in Douglas is being made a beer which will com pare with any made in the country; the Douglas Cast Stone factory could send an exhibit that would show what Cochise is doing in the way of man ufacturing; then there is the Copper City Cigar Company, which could also send a creditable exhibit.
 The fair will be opened on time in December and promises to draw to Phoenix more people than were ever before in the capital city.
 The races promise to be an event i which will attract many fast horses rom outside the territory, in addition .o the fast horses owned by Colonel Greene and J. c. Adams, now in train ng at the fair grounds track.

Indian Farm Laborers That Arc
Really Beasts of Burden.
The Mexican peon is the backbone Of
the republic. Without him the great
landed estates, or haciendas, would lie
IN idleness, while agricultural and COM
mercial interests would stagnate. or
cast iron constitution, he can endure,
apparently without effort, the hardest
sort of drudgery. His energy comes
from a diet that consists chiefly Of
ground peppers, beans or frijoles and
large quantity of tortillas. He works
from 6 to 6, enjoying in the meantime
his two simple meals. In general, the
Indian farm laborers are of submis-
sive and respectful disposition. Like
the negroes OF the south, they are not
TAR from the main building, so as to be
on hand whenever their services are
required. They usually insist; how
ever, on celebrating their holidays,
which lessons their real usefulness
about rs per cent The holidays are
numerous and afford the laborer many
opportunities to quaff from the stupe-
plus change is not apt to be excessive.
It cannot be when most Of them re-
ceive but little over 20 cents q day.
Field hands in the states of Guanajua-
to, Michaocan and Queretaro receive
a cuartillo Of corn in addition to their
wages Of II cents day. One hacien-
dado who voluntarily raised the wages
Of his hands to IS cents day found
himself without laborers for two days
Of the week. AS the extra wages sup.
piled living means for the entire week,
what was the need Of working?
These laborers are Of all sizes and
ages; but. whether young or old, all
bear alike upon their brow the depress-
ing and degrading leathern thong that
makes Of them beasts Of burden. The
effect Of this customary strap on the
shape Of the head Is seen In the fact
that the poems the country over have
peak shaped heads tending toward the
shape Of the pointed hat. The supply
OF laborers is, SO to speak, perennial.
The young muchacho receives his train
Ing in watching the sheep and the
goats, acting as messenger or prodding

is about sixteen years old he takes his

gins to cast his eye about for help
mate. The wife may prove useful and
earn small wage at some such opera
don as sowing seed. Her life will be
monotonous one. A strip Of cloth serves
as dress and skirt, strip of leather
provides sandal, and in the hot re-
gions the clothing for the boys is even
as simple. All that is required is a
jorongo, which consists Of a yard Of
cotton cloth with hole for the head
and two depending flaps to cover
breast and back. There is no p6ssibin-

movements. When the woman takes
