The second German demand is for a
larger United States market for Ger
man sugar. This market we can not
give because of the 20 per cent pref
erential guaranteed to Cuba under our
treaty with that country. That treaty
has three years to run, and any propo-
sition to violate it would stir the
United States from top to bottom, and
result in the defeat of any political
party bringing it forward. Germany
manufactures about 100000 tons Of
sugar annually, and of this she eX-
ports about 1,225,OOO tons. Her ca
pacity to manufacture sugar is only
limited by her export market for that
article, and naturally she is anxious to
secure better footing in the country
which is the largest sugar consumer in
the world.

sUB.LETTING OF A CONTRACT
That Is the Cause of the Trouble, the
Sub Contractor Being "Unfair''
Many Men Are Involved.

Cleveland, o., Aug. S.-The Plain
Dealer says: Orders were issued
Monday afternoon from the headquar-
tiers of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
by Secretary J. J. Mcnamara for
general strike against the American
Bridge company from Maine to Cali
fornia. ut is estimated that between
$4,000 and 10000 bridge and structural
workers will quit work. Bridge work
will be tied up in many parts of the
country, and a number of big building
projects will bed elayed. The strike
of the iron workers when it comes will
effect thousands in the building indus
try.
Trouble Over q Sub Contract.
"The following is copy of the or
der which was sent out to ninety To-
calls of the union in the United States
and Canada by Secretary Mcnamara
of the executive board: The execu-
tive board orders a general strike
against the American Bridge company
to take effect Wednesday, Aug. y.
Order includes all jobs where Amer
lean Bridge company has first contract
for erection. The general strike, &C.
cording to Secretary Mcnamara, was
the outcome Of trouble between the
union and the American Bridge COM
pany over the sub-letting of contract
to a Boston concern which the union
claims is unfair
Had q Wrong Impression.
"a 3,0OO-ton contract for bridge
work was let to the American Bridge
company by the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad under the
impression that the company would
employ union bridge and structural
iron workers. 1t was said that the
company refused to consider the New
Haven organization of bridge and
structural iron workers, and sub-let
the work to the Boston concern" No
satisfactory adjustment was made and
the strike results, and will be ham,
died from the Cleveland headquarters.

LAST week the Nogales Daily { (Behind the) Times attempted to be facetious over the mine taxation complication, and drew parallel between the Arizona mine owners and the proprietors of the great flouring mill and electric light plant at Hermosillo, which the al- Lged newspaper alleged was to be seized for failure to comply with the Mexican stamp tax. A Tucson paper picked up the assertion as a matter of news. Then they de voted column of space trying to explain that they didn't really mean it, and trying to tell what they did mean. But that couldn't be done with q diagram. hn idea is presented them for which TIE OASIS makes no charge. They might inaugurate guessing contests as to what they really do mean in thier editorials and news items. As prizes to the lucky guessers they might offer plated rattle boxes, napkin rings, rubber teething rings and tin cans.

old woman who through many weeks of drought urged the preacher to pray for rain. Finally the do- mimic consented and one Sabath morning included in the service a fervent supplication for rain. Be- fore the service ended the prayer was answered, and a tremendous storm ensued. When the dame who had urged the prayers reached her home after the storm, she found in that vicinity there had been fierce hail storm, cutting her cabbage plants into shreds and strings. In a petulant outburst she declared she "had never known the dominic to undertake anything without overdoing it". That seems to be the unfortunate situation with Governor Kibbey and the Territor- ial Board Of Equalization.

For the sake of relieving the apprehen- sion of the Dispatch it is here stated that political consequences have never had the least weight in influencing the attitude of this editor and never will.

FINAL county has unproductive patented mines assessed at $69, 500. Santa Cruz county has mines of the same description which the county board assessed at t$62,650. The Ter ritorial Board raised assessments upon the latter five hundred per cent, but cid nothing toward rais- ing assessments upon the Pinal county mines. Why the distinction2
The oasis., 1905-09-02

CocHIsE county's board of equalization reduced the county assement upon all non-productive patented mines to five dollars per acre, and then accepted the raise of the Territorial Board. By that method the richly productive mines are assessed at the figures to which they were raised by the Territorial Board, and the non-pro- ducers are assessed at $500 each. That may be good way out of the complication-if permitted to stand.

MONDAY of last week, so 1t is re- ported, the Territorial Auditor in formed one of the officials of Santa Cruz county, over the telephone from Phoenix, that the "Duquesne mines are worth fully as much as the Copper Queen mines" There's an expert for you. If you have a mine to sell and can get Mir Hill to place valuation which a capi- talistic purchaser will accept, you should by all means engage the services of Mir. Hill. He can look down 600 foot shaft and see there in values such as have taken miles of work to prove in other mines.

are elected by the people and re- sponsible Co Che power which places them in office A state board of equalization is created by the state constitution and is co- ordinate branch of the government over which the executive has very limited power. Had Arizona been state, with q board of equaliza- tion created by the constitution and elected by the people, Mr. Donau's resignation could not have been at the demand of Governor Kibbey, and the present unfortun- ate complication could not have oc- cured. The effort to force heavy raises in all patented mines would have failed. Then with the issue between them MT. Donau and Gov ernor Kibbey would have gone to the people at the next election, and let their sovereign will deter mine which should prevail. That's self-government. Under the self government given by state con- stitution there could be no such arbitrary power as that Governor Kibbey has exercised in the mine taxation matter. But under the peculiar construction of a territor- ial government the executive has the power and the right to use 1t. With chief executive who hesi- tates not at the exersize of the ar bitiary power he holds, perhaps some of our friends now so loudly berating Governor Kibbey will per- ceive what TIE OASIS long ago re- alized, viz. That a state govern ment under modern constitution would be far better for Arizona than to remain in territorial con- dition. The people would frame their own constitution. With the working operations of forty five other state constitutions before them, they would select the ma chinery of government best suited to thier needs, and they would ab- rogate the lone man power" now so severely condemned in some quarters.

WITH so much really good news crowding in, and so much cause for comment in the mining tax situation, statehood and other in- teresting topics, THE OASIS people could make very interesting daily were there a field in Nogales for such a paper.

ONE MAN POWER.

Tn the estimation of some of the strongest anti-statehood newspa- pers of Arizona, particularly those at Douglas and Bisbee, three months ago Governor Kibbey was a great statesman because he went over to the anti-iointures on the question of statehood for Arizona. Now since his action with ref erence to the Territorial Board of Equalization and the taxation of mines, he is in the estimation of the same newspapers "a despot" Ia Cesar" "a dictator" and many other harsh epithets leveled at the chief executive of Arizona appear in their columns, while they bear frequent protests against the tone man power" he has exhibited.
 To THE OASIS that very exhibi- tion of power made by the chiefex- ecutive is one of the strongest req sons why Arizona should terminate as quickly as possible the territor- ial condition which was never meant to be permanent.
 The Organic Act is the constitu- tion of the territory of Arizona. As THE OASIS has declared fle- quently it is obsolete, rigid and in elastic. The people had no voice in framing 1t, and they could not amend 1t no matter how harsh the necessity.
 The creation of boards of equal ization to adjust taxes within a commonwealth, have been growth among the states since the fram- ing of the original organic act for the Northwest Territory in 1767, upon which all territorial organic acts since enacted have been mod eled. None of the organic acts have provided for territorial boards of equalization. Where they have had them they were provided by legislative enactment, and law cre- ating them made membership ap~ pointive by the territorial chief ex- ecutive. The power which app D oints a member of such board an remove him at will. That is one man power pure and simple. And the man who can exert that power is not responible to the peo- ple of the territory, but to the central government at Washington.
 In states there exists no such arbitrary power as that Governor Kibbey has shown to reside in the person of the chief executive of a territory. Boards of Equalization

The Republicans acted on their own
responsibility In endorsing our candi-
date for mayor, and If elected be will
put into execution the Socialists
idea of municipal government as set
forth in our platform, so far as pos
sible.
On the liquor question our mayor

the city controlling the sale of intox-

be no profit for private dealers, and
should this prove impracticable, there
will be no saloon. Respectfully,

1O- @O-VO.
After Eighteen months of total
Eclipse of Prohibition, The wise men
of Cedar wake up believing they
saw light, and getting there eyes
open seeing that they wer upon a
mother Election. And began to cry
alood what shall we do to be saved.
and to save our people, and see what
can be done, as we havant done any
thing so far and we must make
showing now or we will be for ever
totally damned as we ar in part, We
will just FIX it up this way. Paint
pictore for the people like this,
THE FIRST STEP, was by the
noble e.iment, to begin its framing
of there picture for the fall Election
was to get couple of SCAPE
GOATS, in the way of epoters to
come In to the City of Cedar (oue OF
the best & most moral towns In Utah
for to try and catch some of the
BRETHREN for selling of Booze
with out PRESCRIPTIONS. But
what was sold on prescription scanned
to be all right in the eyes of afiew of
the wise. knowing it to be viola
tion of the law just tho same.
SECOND STEP. was to have a
temperance lecture in the house of
God, to begin spreading che paint to
them in more milder way, seeing
the first was a failure.
THIRD STEP. Was to call citi
zens meeting for the porpose of more
temperance speeches. under the euise
of a political meating.
FOURTH ST EP. Just mother
citizens melting aud more temperance
speeches, the paint 10 now beginning
to show.
FIFTH STEP. Then mother
meeting and the nominations Of can :
adets, all awhile the paint was fresh.
Then II. Reading begun, the new
Party was born in the name of Citi
zens party. But not being born Of
its self, or in its infancy, but had to
ask the Socilest Democrats, and
Republicans to come down and help
them to be born, Il that they may see
the light.
Now for the Citizens platform aud
the material it is cumposed of, Will
1t stand the test, il all the hard
ships that it will have TO go through
IN the next two years with the heavy
load Ito pack of the last two years,
good management Only hoping
that they hive a good party, good
princibls, and good platform, not
like some of them said that the Re
publicaps didant have eathr Of
them, But they ar the people who
made this co. & will still continu
to. No musharoon party will ever
stand nor will prohibition, so let us
down easy, Brother Citizens.
