How to Go to California.

The choice of routes has much TO do
with the enjoyment of California visit
tied Excursions are popular not only be-
cause Of the beauty of the route, but
because of the excellence OF the train
service and the low cost of comfortable

weekly from this city, each of which is
in charge of a personal representa- tive
of the company This gives the trips

themselves, by putting power into

 my observation that they always
 do so. The adoption of the consti- tuition proposed in California in 1879 is case in point. That in- strument was opposed by all the great financial and monetary in terests of the state It was de- nounced as socialistic and anar- chistic. All the great daily news papers opposed 1t except the San Francisco Chronicle. Of the sev- eral hundred weekly newspapers in the state 1t was supported by but about score. There was a strongly organized opposition against it, with plenty of money to expend in an opposition propa- ganda, while it's protagonists were without organization and without money. A careful canvass of the voters convinced the opposition managers that the instrument would be defeated at the polls, and when the election closed they de clared that 1t was defeated.

 HIS ACCEPTANCE.
Thinks People Already Sufficiently ln- formed About Statehood and
 Will Not Debate Subject

It will be remembered that some weeks ago Mr. Allen T. Bird, editor of THE OASIS, extended an invita- ton to Hon. J. r. Wilson Of Pres colt, to series of public discus gions of the issues involved in the statehood proposition. It will also be remembered that Mr. Wilson returned reply accepting inc myi- tation, at the same time referring the matter to the committee" to make arrangements. But in his letter of acceptance Mir. Wilson explicitly authorized MT. Bird to renew the invitation, If the conn mittee did not arrange, naming dates and places, and he (Mr, Wilson, would meet them.
 The moment 1t became public that q joint discussion was likely the entire anti-jointure press joined in cry that 1t was useless and unnecessary, and the secretary of the Anti-Joint Statehood League, Mir. M. B. Cleary of Phoenix, gave 1t out cold that there would be no discussion" " However, believing that Mr. Wil- son would stand by his colors, Mir. Bird again addressed the gentle man on the 18th inst, renewing the invitation to discussion, and naming dates and places when and where they would meet. That let ter was published in these columns a week ago. This week MT. Bird is in receipt of the following from Mir. Wilson:
 PHGNIx, ARIz.. Nov 17, 1905. ALLEN T. BIRD, EsQ.,
 Nogales, Arizona.
 DEAR SIR:-
 Yours of the 18th, with reference to the Joint-Statehood discussion, is received here and duly noted. In reply thereto, l have to say to YOU that, notwithstanding what has heretofore been written, l can not personally assume the duty which your appointments would impose upon me, for many reasons. First, the Anti-Joint Statehood Committee thought that the sub iect did not require discussion Secondly, my own personal busi' ness from now throughout the time you name requires my attention and l cannot abandon 1t. In the third place, have discovered that the people of this Territory arc well posted on the issues involved in iointure-as much so as any ot us. Therefore, for me to go before the public and try to persuade the people to believe that iointure wa: downright revolution against tn, original rule fixed for the admis sion of territories; that 1t is revolu tion against the National policy closely adhered to by all admins trations and congresses heretofore that it is a violation of the Govern ment's faith, eouched in the law organizing the Territory. that if i,

tional election, so the proposition must be beaten in Congress.
 The evils which were predicted would follow adoption of the con- stitution of 1879 in California never materialized. In fact from the day of it's adoption is dated the great prosperity that has been the portion of that great state. Los Angeles has sextupled her popuIa- tion, increasing from 10000 to 120,000. Riverside, Pasadena and Redlands are thriving and wealthy cities, on lands which were sheep ranges preceding 1879. The new constitution, by creating elective governing boards-such as the railway commission and board of equalization bodies responsible to the people, and not to appointees with commissions drawn in Wash lington, broke D the great land ! grants by adopting equitable ! methods of taxation, and brought 1 the taxation of railway property l to 4 basis more just to the small I taXpa yers, while the railways We're brought 10 a beneficial measure of regulation such as they had never experienced.
 Now l maintain and contend l that if given the opportunity the people of Arizona will frame and adopt a constitution. for the fol- lowing reasons
 l. When they come to contrast
 with modern state constitution the present obsolete, rigid and inelastic Organic Act of Arizona,
 they will prefer the Constitution
 and vote for it. The Organic Act
 was adopted by Congress in 1864.
 The people of Arizona had no
 voice in its adoption, and they
 cannot amend 1t, no matter how
 sadly 1t needs amendment, which I 1t does surely. It is modelled upon
 the organic acts of the territories
 preceding it, which all went back l to the act creating the Northwest
 Territory, in 1787. Consequently
 the Organic Act (the Constitution
 of Arizona is l18 years old
 ?. The hexibility of a state
 constitution, amendahle at the
 will of the people 10 meet their
 wants and needs, would cause
 many to vote for it's adoption.
 Since Congress created the 'Ierri-
 tory that body has made but one
 amendment to the Organic Act of Arizona. No other power can amend it. The people of California have added about two score of
 amendments 10 their constitution,
 framed and adopted in 1879, fifteen
 years later than enactment by Congress of our Organic Act.
 There is hardly state constitution that has not been frequently
 amended, and since our organic act was adopted many of the older states have adopted new constitu-
 tions which they have since amended in many important par ticulars. This is true of Pennsyl- vania, Illinois and California, all of which states framed new constl- stitutions in 1879, and have tre- quently amended them. Thomas
 Jefferson is quoted as having de- clared that the people ot state should frame and adopt constl- tuition every thirty years. 1et the anti-jointure propagandists want the people of Arizona to live under constitution which is nearly four
