0KLAH0MA'y HEAVY HANDICAP
IN INDIAN TERRITORY
From Tucson, Ariz., Star

Oklahoma has a school fund Of more than thirty-fve
Territory in statehood, where New Mexico and Arizona
can not have one god reason for not wanting to join each
other, observes an exchange.
Oklahoma has a scholo fund Of more than thirty-fve
millions of dollars, and she will have TO share this with a
territory as big and populous as herself, that hasn't an
acre of public land, a public school, or a public road or
bridge in the entire territory, and that has 10000 ignor-
ant school children that have never had any educational
advantages, and which the state of Oklahoma will have at
once to make up for out of her own funds.
Oklahoma also takes all the land complications and
all the Indian treaty complications Of the Indian Terri
tory, and there are many of them, and she takes twenty.
one years Of prohibition, not only for the Indian TER
tory, out for the whole the new state, in order TO get into
the union. Those people over in Oklahoma deserve state
hood, they appreciate 1t.
1t is not five weeks since splendid Oklahoma invited
representatives of all the newspapers in the nation Ohe
Editorial association, the men who do the writing, who
spread the information that forms public opinion in this
country, to come into the territory, and hold a convention.
They came, they saw, and were conquered.
They went back home imbued with the hospitality,
the resources, the necessities and the possibilities of that
splendid country, and now every one Of them in every
congressional district of this nation, is writing articles
praising the people there and their fitness for statehood
joint statehood.
Just a couple Of weeks later. the sensible people of
those two great territories called a convention, and =
thousand delegates, FIVE hundred from each jurisdiction,
met in Oklahoma City, and resolved in favor Of joint
statehood, without reference to New Mexico and Arizona.
Those people are Americans in action and spirit. They
deserve statehood and they will get It,

EX-DELEGATE RODEY ANSWERS
FORMER DELEGATE MURPHY

Ex-Delegate Rodey was asked today what he thought
of the interview published In a Prescott, Arizona, paper
with Hon. Frank NJ. Murphy, as to the hope of Mr.. Muir
ply in getting Representatives Tawney, Brown and others
to help in the antijoint statehood fight.
at won't avail the ants in Arizona, in my opinion, -
replied Mr.. Rodey. Hon. James A. Tawney is the repub-
lican whip of the house, and is also one of the most in
fluential and able men in congress. He knows how utter
y impossible it Is for either New Mexico or Arizona to
come into the union separately. He personally, Lecause
of his party position, has whipped the republicans in the
house in line on every vote that has been taken on the
statehood question in the past fouI years. He has been
intimately acquainted with the details of the great battle.
and knows all about the question. He knows that the in
tention is to make two states out of the four territories, or
to at least give the people a chance to vote on the ques-
ton.
"Mr. Murphy talks Of the good work that was done
against joint statehood with the committee on irrigation
that recently visited the southwest. Why, there was not
a member of that committee but what has been against
joint statehood for two years, so the ants have gained
nothing.
81 don't see why Mr.. Murphy is afraid to let the bill
pass in congress and let the people of Arizona vote on it?
Is he afraid that the people in that territory would accept
a good constitution under a liberal enabling act? If not
why this strenuosity to kill the bill before congress? If
Mr.. Murphy would take time to interview members of
congress on a large scale, if he would take time to buy
and read the press clippings of the east, if he would take
time to talk to the powers that be at Washington, If he
would talk to the sensible people of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory on the joint statehood question, perhaps he
would cease his efforts to defeat the manifest destiny Of
Arizona and New Mexico.
81 have noticed that Mr.. Murphy has been against
joint statehood for some time, but l have not yet heard of
any reason or argument advanced by him that would APP
peal to ones judgment. He simply uses the we don't
want it argument, but he fails to show who or how many
we are"

WHERE LIES \ LIE.

"The Morning Journal has charged and charges again
that Mr.. Stricklers assertion that a new and up to date
water system, adequate to the neds of the city, can be
constructed for $4,000, is false, and that Mr.. Stricken has
known it TO be false each time he has published it in his
editorial columns"
The foregoing is from the water organ of this morn
ing. The Citizen has given its authority for the state
ment that an up TO date and ample water plant could be
established in Albuquerque for approximately $4,000.
That authority Is Colonel Jastro, who has installed
such a plant at Bakersfield, Cal. Does the water organ
want to call Colonel Jastro a fool or a liar? Yet it says
that The Citizen knew the statement to be false every
time this paper published it,
The Citizen believes that Colonel Jastro, to whom
Albuquerque is indebted more deeply, perhaps, than to
any other one man, knew what he was talking about, for
he spoke from his own personal experiences; and If there
is a lie out, 1t will be found hanging about the garments of
the water organ, rather than against the man who spoke
concerning that which he knew and the things he had
seen.
Will the water organ say that Colonel Jastro is not an
authority on this question? That he does not know what
he is talking about? That he is unreliable in his esti
mates? Say so or shut up.
THE CITIZEN ASKS ITS READERS TO NOTICE
HOW THE WATER ORGAN WON'T ANSWER II
QUESTIONS HER PRoPoUN0E0.

A FORMER SILVER
CITY BOYS SUCCESS

News comes from Arizona that
Harry Carvil, formerly of Silver City,
N, NJ, but now of Globe, Ariz., is
making for himself a reputation as
an elocutionist, of which one may well
be proud. Since arriving in Globe,
Mr.. Carvil has appeared both In pub
lie and private entertainments with
varying success. He has a splendid
delivery, which shows careful train
ing on his part, and capable of de-
plotting every phase of human emo
ton. His boyish features and pleas
ing appearance has made for him a
host of friends.

The inconsiquential syphax of the water organ makes
a great adoo over The Citizens having been TOLD that an
up to date and efficient water plant could be constructed
for the city of Albuquerque for approximately $4,000.
And yet, what is the water organ yelling for? A paid ex-
pert, half of whose wages shall be paid by the water COM
pany to TELL the people of Albuquerque what the water
plant is worth. If consistency were the only Jewell, the
water company's syphax wouldn't have the value of an
antibellum wildcat bank bill. The Citizens authority is
Colonel Jastro, who speaks from experience and not from
mere theory. He established such a system as Albuquer.
que needs, in the similar city of Bakersfield, Cal, and he
spoke from experience, when he said to The Citizen that
such a plant could be installed in Albuquerque for approx
imately $4,000.

Reader, don't you think it strange that though the
Morning Journal has sworn till it grew black in the face
that It has no financial interest in the Albuquerque Wa
ter Supply company, yet for three months or more it has
been laboring to fasten on the city for 80 years a contract
enabling the company to charge the people 35 cents for .
cent water? But that is not ali. 1t fought city owner
ship of Albuquerque's water supply, saying It would be
ruinous for the city to attempt such a thing. md now it
favors municipal ownership, provided the city shall buy
the antiquated dlapidated, worn out, inefficient, bond
burdened, expensive to operate, and altogether fifth class
plant which the present Water Supply company claims to
have bought from the Journal owners. Does any one be-
lieve that the Journal owners are not financially inter
ested? Say, look in my eye and tell me if you see any
thing green.
Albuquerque evening citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1905-07-26

The Citizen some time since said that water could be
supplied to consumers by the city at 10 cents per thous-
and gallons, and this would allow a profit from which all
running expenses could be paid, the interest on bonds for
construction be met, and a sinking fund be established for
the ultimate payment of the bonds themselves. The Citi
zen repeats these statements, more mature study of the
question having convinced this paper that all these things
could be accomplished with water at less than 10 cents
per thousand gallons. Yet the present water company is
charging SO cents per thousand gallons, and had the au-
dacity to ask for a continuation of such conditions to 1910.
Experiments now being conducted in this city show that
water in exhaustless quantity can be developed for less
than 2 cents per thousand gallons. If the water company
cannot do so, it is because their plant is not up to date.

The water organ still sprays its froth at The Citizen
for quoting the franchise as the contract between the city
and Water Supply company. If the water organ cannot
understand that a stream cannot rise higher than its
source, and this any water organ ought to know, that no
delegated authority can exceed the authority which dele
gates it, why that Is the misfortune of the organ. The
Citizen plties the sorrows Of the poor old organ.

The Citizen was sorry to read in so Influential a jour
nal as the New Mexican the following: why shouldn't a
gavel made of wood from a tree on the battlefield of Glor-
ieta be as good a relic as a gavel from a tree at Valley
Forge?" Why should not the falling of an apple from its
ripened stem be comparable to the agony of the child
mother in the birth of her first born? 1t will be a sad day
when Americans cease to venerate the heroes Of 1776 or
to thrill at the recital of the patriots sacrifices and suf-
ferings at Valley Forge.

The Arizona Register, published at Globe, opposes
joint statehood, but it very truly says: But, as to the
present status of the statehood question, it looks perfectly
plain that the bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico as
one state will pass congress early in the winter; and if it
does, there is not a doubt that the president will sign It."

The Citizen again calls the attention of the public to
the fact that the water organ is still a restless sleeper. 1t
first lies on one side and then it turns over and lies on the
other side. Even it's dearest friend called 1t a lightning
change artist. In this whole water controversy II has
been like the wicked flea, of which the Irish wag said
that when you put your thumb on It, 1t wasn't there. But
then, gentlemen, don't shoot the man behind the bar. He
is doing the best he knows how to earn the money prom
ised by the water company in case they make good their
speculation.

The freight traffic of the railways of the United
States in 1898 amounted to 114,07S, 600, 900 ton miles,
against about $4,000, 900, 900 for the whole of Europe. In
1903, according to an estimate of the Railway Gazette,
European traffic had increased to 100000, 100000, and that
of the United States to ia, 600, 000, 900. The figures
quoted suggest that if the American people make up their
minds to seriously engage in the oversee trade, the ma
lions which now talk about ruling the waves will have to
look to their laurels, says the San Francisco Chronicle.

what different nightmare. 1t sees, whether waking or

unanswerable argument against paying for the present,

inadequate plant.
