Carrier Boys of the Review Will As sist in the Work Under Direction of the Circulation Manager.


 The Review will take up the work of circulating the Anti Joint Statehood petitions recently received in Bisbee from the Secretary of the Anti-Joint Statehood League The petitions were consigned to Postmaster Cassi- dy, and have been placed in some of the business hGdses about town, but fearing that Eisbee would not be prop erly represented in its almost unani- nous opposition to the Hamilton Joint Statehood bill. linking Arizona and New Mexico together as one state. the Review proposes to canvass Ihe city on this question as follows:
 The circulation manager of the Re view has been instructed to place petition in the hands of every carrier boy for the Review and to superintend a poll of Review subscribers in the city on this important question. Not only will every subscribe: to the Review il the city of Bistee be placed on record, but every house on every route will be entered. regardless U whether the oc- cupant is a subscriber or not, and the entire city in this manner carefully canvassed for or against joint-state- hood. Subscribers and others who have previously signed another peri- tion should not sign the Review peti- ton. as names must not be duplicated. The result of the campaign against ioint-statehood will be published from time to time in the Review, and at the close the Review petitions against the iniquitous measure Will be placed with ha ff petition bound together and forwarded to the Secretary of the Joint Stace- hood League at Phoenix When the Review carrier calls at your house with the petition put yourself on record against joint-statehood. Arizona has nothing to gain and all to lose by such an unholy and distasteful alliance. The people of Arizona are aroused. and let Bisbee show that the sentiment here is unanimous against the bill, which is without precedent in the history of the Republic since it was founded.
 Printed forms of the petition are be- ing prepared this week and will be circulated just as rapidly as possible.
 Congress has no right to destroy AriZona's chances for single statehood singly and alone There is no subdi- vision of this Union that is advancing more rapidly than Arizona. Cochise county has more than doubled its pop ulation and taxable wealth during the past three years.
 We feel just pride in the history of our people. their prosperity, develop ment and high civilization, and conf dently look to the future for the reali zation through the development of our wonderful resources. and by reason of the splendid energy and character of our citizens, of still higher civilization and more general prosperity, when our qualifications, by reason of our wealth, population and development. to single statehood must in due time be recog- nized by the whole people of our coun- try.
 This is the most important matter that has confronted Arizona since it was made q territory more than thirty years ago. It is necessary that She people of Arizona make their wants known in this matter and refute the false statements made by Beveridge. Rodey ct al. that the people of Arizona were lukewaIm on the proposition and were slowly coming around to his way of thinking.
