one and one-half millions tons of coal, and they return handsome profits to their owners. And the Bessemer iron mines ship one thou sand tons of ore daily to the Pueblo steel works, which rate of shipment has continued for six years past.
 Does the Enterprise suppose that traffic of such magnitude is con- ducted for fun? And will not those mines be taxed by the new state goverment-iust the same as the Arizona copper mines?
 And when completed the new line of railway the Southern Pac- fife is building from Durango Colorado, to Naco, Arizona, will open a great coal field in North west New Mexeco which will yield millions of tons of coal annually. THE OASIS editor has personally inspected some oi those coal beds and knows whereof he writes. One bed of bituminous coal hundreds of square miles in area, is sixty feet thick. The mines along that one bed of coal will yield dividends during cen turies. They will outlive all of Arizona's copper mines--immense though the latter are.

AFFECTING soLlclTuDE

Join Arizona unto New Mexico and the big corporations will pay dearly for the experiment. There is not dividend paying mine in New Mexico, and Arizona producers will be taxed beyond all reason by the taxlevying body of the new state. It behooyes these corpor- ations to move promptly in the matter of the defeating of the measure. .-Enterprise.
 Why so much solieitude for the bigmining corporations in Arizona? As THE OASIS has shown repeatedly some of the same people owning and operating big mines in Sonora are taxed 24go on their gross out put of copper and 5qo of the value of the gold and silver their mines prduce. No one has yet proposed a tax of more than 1 q of the gross product of Arizona mines.
 And where does the Enterprise find authority for it's assertion that there is not a dividend paying mine in New Mexico?" The Gal lup coal mines produce annually

MORE GOSPEL TRUTH

The following is from the Yuma Sun.
 There is occasionally grafter in the newspaper business, and he is not infrequently found behind mask from which issues the dirty charge which would best fit his own case. It is we'll understood of business men that the grafter is not the man who requires fair price for good work honestly performed, and gives full value for all he re- ceiyes. He is rather the illegiti- male newspaper abortion who gratis off of the business public by demanding that they support him as they would an object ofcharity: by selling something he hasn't; by soliciting and receiving money for which he can give no equivalent return, and by doing discreditable work at failure-encouraging prices.
 Neither of the alleged daily newspapers in Nogales need take to heart the foregoing unless it fits.

CAME TO SOON

It was common plaint for years that Uncle Sam did not keep re- cords and statistics as did other nations. Today there is ground for the complaint that the keeping of statistics by the Federal govern ment is developing into graft. An army of clerks is employed to keep tab of everything imaginable from the outlook of the cotton crop to record of births and deaths in the United States. Recent expos ures in the Department of Agri- culture brought to light the fact that one clerk had made S96,0OO. by selling advance information about the cotton crop. Statistics are valuable at times but when they leave solid ground of certainty for the clouds of speculation then it is

time for change of policy.-Santa Fe New Mexican
 The trouble with the statistics mentioned was not that the data given out was speculative, but that it was given prematurely, and re- duced the speculative game to a dead open and shut'' proposition to those who bought the advance information from the offending clerk.

 THE OASIS man heard many men

 The Review has taken one step in the right direction. It asserts it is for the Hamilton bill with the Foraker amendment. THE OASIS accepts the proposition and if the Review will work in that way so will THE OASIS. Then when the Hamilton bill has become a law let the Review and THE OASIS work hand in hand to secure election of the right kind of men to the con- stitutional convention, and framing 1f a model modern constitution. When that is secure the Review will then be ready to unite with THE OASIS in urging it's adoption. And it will be adopted by a over whelming majority.
 As to the unanimous action of the Phoenix convention of which the Review fondly prates, TIE OASIS has heretofore made plain that the gathering so fondly paraded was packed for purpose. They dared not invite all Arizonans to discuss the situation. Had they done so they would have got jar from which they would not soon re- cover. They are going to doso yet.

THE FIRST STEP

Inan article favoring joint state- hood for Arizona and New Mexico, THE OASIS says:
 In closing this editorial THEOAsIs will repeat the inquiry it has hereto foe propounded to the Bisbee Re- view: If the people of Arizona are so bitterly hostile to annexation of New Mexico in order to secure statehood, why are the Review and other anti-statehood newspapers so averse to permitting them to regis tes that hostility at a regular auth orized constitutional election? If they are So sure of their ground why are they so adverse to going to the people of the territory in such an election? THE OAsIs has repeat edly put those two questions with out n reply. Come now; give reason for your attitude
 The editor of TIE OASIS is badly mistaken in his presumption The Review for one would welcome the passage of the joint statehood bill at the next session of congress with the Foraker amendment incorpor- ated in the bill. The Foraker amendment provides that the peo. pie of each territory be permitted to vote separately upon the adoption of the constitution. Arizona would welcome such a provision. It would be the means of securing an expression of the people at the polls on this important question, and 1t is a good principle of our government to allow the majority to rule and decide questions affecting the well fare and prosperity of the people The Review does not object to the joint statehood bill in any form. There is no fear of what the verdict of the people of Arizona will be if they given the opportunity toex- press themselves The unanimous action of the anti-ioint statehood convention at Phoenix was enough to satisfy anybody on this sco re, unless it was the editor of THE OASIS, who sat aloof and alone dur. the entire proceedings Bisbee Review.
 But this is the first time the Re- view has admitted that it would welcome the joint-statehood bill with the Foraker amendment And one of the most prominent speakers at the Phanix convention. MT. F. M Murphy. openly declared that the Hamilton bill must be beat in Congress. Let the bill not come back to Arizona with the Foraker amendment or any other amendment" were the words of Murphy
 So the Review is willing to ac- cept the Hamilton bill with the Foraker amendment? TIE OASIS has never opposed the Foraker amendment Will the Review now join this newspaper in an advocacy

Punishment and The Rich.

The beef company which has
been fined $50, 900 will feel the pen
atty as much as an ordinary man
would feel one cent, and no dis.
grace attaches to the fines in the
circles in which these men move.
The rebate practice is admitted,
and in that, no doubt, lies some
encouragement, especially as it in
cludes demonstration that the
present laws are sufficient if en-
forced. The result, however, of
merely fining a corporation may be
to give heart to the others, for they
will see that if any of tacir officials
happen to be caught they will in
all probability escape the one pun
ishmcnt they fear. If the present
devices to defeat the law prove in
etlaqnate, they will invent others,
and the defiant game will continue
until somebody is actually impris-
oned. The ways cf giving rebate
are many, and one of the most
used and most difficult to detect is
commission to an agent, for whose
arrangements with the shipper the
carrier is not responsible. The
confession Of this beef company
shows not only that they received
rebates, but that railroads gave
them, which may lead to further
progress, although if the ordinary
view is correct the railroads are
comparatively little to be blamed,
being held up by the packers and
almost powcrlcss in their hands.
Most people believe the packers
squeeze the railroads, the breeders
aud the consumers with impartial
thoronghness, but there is thus far
insufficient knowledge. A flood of
light may be let in. if, as is rumor-
ed, tho convicted company has
given information against the 9TH
ers, but there is no reason to ex-
pcct any change in the packing
companies methods, whatever they
may be, until conviction is follow
ed by a real penalty nflninchingly
eXacted. .-ColIier's.

Leaner or Litter, Which!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, who writes
some good things and some bad
things sometimes, has poem on
two kinds of people--those who
lift and those who lean.
She says there are 20 leaners
where there is one who lifts.
She is right.
In every household there's some
one who is the main dependence.
That one goes ahead with the work
carries the burden and the worry.
while the others lean. Usually it
is the mo,hcr-more's the pity
who does the lifting.
In every business it is so. One
takes the initiative, does the plan
ming. He seems cut out for his
task of leadership and voluntarily
assumes it. The others depend on
him. 1t is so much easier to fo!
low than to lead.
In the church very few do the
work md make the sacrifices of
time and energy. The others lean
on the leaders.
There are Il few men who pull their
own weight and that of others who
hold back, although it is pleasing
to he able to state that the pullers
are increasing in number every
day, and the laggards are becom
ind more marked in public dis,
dain.
The same thing is true in the
legislature; in congress. A very
few men do the real work of legis
lation. The others simply mark
time. They lean on the strong
Spirits.
Are You lifting or leaning!
There is lot of work to do in
the world-not merely big tasks
common everyday work. And
some do more than their share be-
cause so many shirk. There are
tired, overwrought souls who
break under the strain because so
many lean upon them.
Is there some willing man near
you who is lifting more than his
share of the loadl Roll up vonr
sleeves end give him lift.
Is thXe some tired. nervous wo-
man u5bn whom--for shame,-
you have leaned too long9 Turn
in and help the overtaxed brave
one.
Quit leaning.
