THE GAZETTE
 MAKES FACES.

Of all the gally nerve and eXfrav a. gant ideas which has ever been aand- ed to the long suffering public the one to send the members of the Terri torial Legislature to Washington to protest in person against the passage of the joint statehood bill takes pre- cedence over anything else ever pro posed under similar circumstances
 It is easy to see why lot of cheap trashy newspapers of the Kelly class are advocating this movement They think that by so doing they can tickle the vanity of a sufficient number of the members of the legislature so that they. can, when the legislature con venes, practically dictate the patron age of the legislature. But they VII ind that the legislature will not stand any such olshness.-Gazette.
 The above is from the Phoenix Ca zett. The proposition to send the Ari- zona legislature 10 Washington this winter to protest against the passage of the joint statehood bill may be un- precendented. but it is in the iine of vigorous effcTt to avert the inmpend- ing calamity to the rights of the .peo- pie of. Arizona II would be a patriot ic and heroic action. and heroic and a determined action is what is neelel TOW, in this hour of danger.
 The Gazette may think it foolish for the elected representatives of Arizona to emphasize the determined oppOsi- ton of the people of Arizona to :he passage of the joint statehood bill. hut We should regard it as display of wisdom. Such a trip would attract the attention Of the entire country tn the infamous outrage which is being put upon Arizona by the leaders of the party to which the Gazette pays constant homage, without regard to what may happen to Arizona.
 Trashy newspapers. A comparison of the Gazette and the Bisbee Review and InternationalAmeric will read fly locate the trashy newspaper in Phoenix. We care nothing for such trashy criticism.
 As to the legislative patronage. The legislature is democratic and We hope to see it's patronage given to demo- crats. We imagine there will be TO disposition to consult the Gazette of fee in it's distribution.

RANGERS PRAISED.

The rangers have received a com. munication from Phoenix setting forth the action recently taken by the Cat. tIemen's Association of Coconino county. The stock owners give great praise to the rangers for their good work in clearing out the rustlers, who for years have made cattlemen trouble and caused enormous loss. The as- socia;ion asks that the force be in- creased and that more rangers be de tailed to coeonino county. -~s

ENCOURAGING CONDITIONS

When a congressional session IS about to convene the correspondents of theilarge metopolitan papers stationed at Washington comment or the impor- tant measures to be considered and give their views as to their probable fate.
 When the present congress assembled in December the opinions sent to their papers by these correspondents were almost without exception to the effect that the joint statehood bill would pass before the end of the session on the +th of March.
 Since the holiday recess there has been decided change in opinion com ing from the correspondents at Wash ington concerning the fact. of the state hood bill. The correspondent of the St. Louis Republic. one of the sblest at Washington, sends the following which will have a.tendeny 10 strengthen the hope in Arizona that something may intervene to prevent the outrage which would be put upon the people of Arizona should they be forced into statehood with New Mexio. Says this correspondent:
 "Only about forty legislative days remain of the session. To occupy this time are all of the appropriation bills and the SwayDe impeachment. Mat ters are in a fair way for trouble over the appropriations The naval tudget particularly is threatened On tho whole, there is the likelihood of such discussion and debAte-

the democrats, the sole exception of Clark, of Arkansas. are opposed to admitting Arizona and New Mexico ss one state.
 "The argumnts against this jointure have been thrashed over again and again and doubtless are familiar to western readers. Protests from both territories, particularly Arizona, con- tinue to pour in and such petitions are supplemented hy expressions from other sections Of the country, particuIrly from the neighborhood of the big cities. where powerful business interests lie that have connections in Arizona.
 ss Matters of special legislation are before the ,nste of more interest to it's ruling members than statehond. The senators in the saddle are past masters in using some proposed law as buffer to head of more objection able legislatoip. Statehood failed through just such a situation two y ears ago. So it is thought that, while not propable. It is possible that history will repeat itself"
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-11

''And so the 400 retainers of the jaw makers will charge upon the state treasury during the session with the zeal of the famous 600 at Balaklava. Pie to the right of them. pie to the left of them, oward they'll thunder. Further disgrace to the state and!the robbery of its treasury to the extent of more than $lOO, 900 will be the result of that patronage arrangement ''
 And this reminds us that the last legislature was guilty of just such A species of grating as is complained of by the Los Angeles Herald. We have not the data at hand, but the fact is that there were probably twice as many attaches employed by the last Arizona legislature as there vas any necessity for. This extTsvsgence should not be repeated again. Let the legislature make record for efficiency and economy and the territory and the democratic parry will be the gainer.
Bisbee daily review., 1905-01-11
A GRATED LEGISLATURE

Says the Los Angeles Herald: Blasted is the hope that the Califor- mia legislature of 1905 would avoid the graft mire that disgraced the legis- state in 1903. Instead of avoiding that mire the new body plunged into it at the very outset of the session with the eagerness of thirst stricken ami nal at brook.
 "AIl the proceedings incident to the organization of the legislature pale in importance by the side of the shame ful graft record of the first day. Both the senate and the assembly agreed. against feeble protest. to follow the infamous precedent of public robbery set by their predecessors two years ago. How else can the graft progrs m be characterized fttingly? There gre 1I9 members of the two houses, and the so-cslled patronage arrangement provides for something like 400 attaches.
 ''The movement instituted by few members some weeks ago looking to the curtailment of the clerkship graft, fzzled out completely. The prompt ness with which the graft scheme was started indicates that it had been agreed upon in advance by the leading members. And just here may properly be interpolated the reminder that there are only eight democrats in the present legislature-four in each house.
 "As in the case two years ago, each senator will have patronage during the session to the extent of S2O day, according to the announced scheme. Each representative will have S1O, which is $2 less than the allowance ID 1903. The cutting of the allowance in the assembly probably was with the object of keeping the total clerkship account within the figures of 1903, as there are additional members in this session.
