PLAYING FOR BIG SHAKES.
Shrewd Scheme of the Railroads to
 HoodSvfnk the People.

bhreWd Scheme Of the Railroads to
 HOodvvink the People.
 Tbe campaign of the railroads to prevent government control of their unreasonable rates has been carefully managed. The ablest attorneys. with all the means necessary to bring wit nesses to Washington to appear befors the senate interstate commerce com nittee, have conducted the campaiga with care and calculation. Senatos Willard of Nebraska, who is a Repub. ncan member of the interstate com merce committee and who was before bis election to the senate a director of the Union Pacific railroad, asserted the other day in a newspaper interview that the evidence secured had been "adduced In the fairest manner possi- ble."
 The Nebraska Independent says of that:
 ''On,y favored shippers and well known railway camp followers were given free rides from Nebraska to the national capital to testify regarding the rate situation in this state The small shippers, who never receive pref erential rates, were left at home be- cause they could testify that there is a deep seated demand in Nebraska for lower rates"
 The railroads are doing every ything possible to back up Senator Willard, the news bureaus they have establish ed are sending out matter to all the newspapers that will print it, giving the railroad side of the contention. Even the patent insides" are not over looked in this effort to befog public opinion by trying to make the voters believe that railroad charges are req solable. The same programme is be- ing carried out in other states and will be continued as long as the newspa- pers will print the stories.
 Of course but few people will be in duced to believe that the railroads are public benefactors, running their trains primarily for the advantage of the public, and that if the exorbitant rates charged were reduced the rail roads would be unable to pay interest on their bonds and that dividends to their stockholders would be an impos- sibility. Yet that is what Senator Mill lard and the railroads would have us believe, the idea being to work on pub lie opinion and thus give an excuse for senators and congressman to vote against the public interest
 It is a great game for immense stakes, and the people will be worsted if they don't look cut for their own in- terests and strengthen the backbones of those senators and congressman who show signs of giving in to the big bluff being put up by the railroads.

A REPUBLICAN PROTEST.
Business Men Declare For Recfproc-
 ity and Revision.

ity and Revision.
 The committee of one hundred of the Boston chamber of commerce appoint ed to consider the general question of reciprocity and tariff revision adopted declaration that the country is con fronted with a commercial and eco homie situation which threatens Amer ican interests and industries. These Boston Republican business men fur ther declared:
 We believe a revision of the tariff upon the principles of reciprocity to be necessary, and wetafirm that the adoption of a maximum and minimum tariff system having for its purpose reciprocity rather than retaliation is best calculated to promote and main tain a rational system of protection and to guarantee the equitable treat ment of all foreign nations,
 ''The typical attitude of Germany, our second largest foreign customer, empha- sizes the practical character of reel procity as a political proposition. The pendency of the Hay-Bond treaty with Newfoundland and our unsettled com mercial relations with the Dominion of Canada most urgently call for i'm mediate action.
 "We earnestly indorse the reported Intention of President Roosevelt tc call a special session of congress for the immediate revision of the tariff"
 That declaration of independence of the Republican dogma of protection will lead to freedom from the plum dering of the trusts and protected spe- cial interests if President Roosevelt will stick to his declared intention of calling a special session of congress to consider that and the railroad rate question.
 The Boston Republican business men urge immediate revision of the tar If, but they will have to be constantly pushing and urging the reform they de- sire or they will be grievously dlsap- pointed.
 The Republican leaders, who are al- most without exception opposed to a special session of congress on account of their objecting to tariff revision, have evidently persuaded President Roosevelt that an extra session is not warranted by conditions and that to call one before the fall elections would inJure the party in those states where elections are to be held The president seemskto have fallen Into this trap, and those Republican leaders who have talked with him declare there will be no special session, at least not until after the elections are over, which would bring the time close to the regu- lar date of meeting, Dec. 4. In that case it will be much easier for the Re publican stand patters. who will con trol the house of representatives, where all tarin legislation must origi- nate, to prOIong the hearings on the bill and so prOcrastinate in reporting the same that 1t will be too late for the senate to act, and so tarif revision will be defeated.

Harry Hanscom, of the J. E. Thomp- son Co, yesterday received from Princeton, Minn., news of the killing in Mexico of Edward ". Freer, for meriy of this city. The information came through the father of young Freer, who was notified in a brief dispatch from Mexico. The message contained no details, advising that these would be sent later, but intimat- ing that the young man had been mur- dered by Mexicans.
 Mr. Hanscom recently received a letter from Edward Freer in which he stated that he had accumulated considerable money in Mexico and suggested that they make trip to- gether the latter part of this month to the Portland Exposition. The young man wrote that it was his ex- pectation to stop in Bisbee on his way to Portland and meet with many friends he had here. It is the opin- ion of Mr. Hanscom that Freer was murdered for the money he had gath cred, and which he was probably on his way out of Mexico with when he met his death. Mir. Freer, while in the city, was employed at the Hol- brook. He came here with Wm. KaI- Iker from Minnesota. Mir. Kaliker Is sti1 in the city.

Invoked Against Labor Unions, Not
 Railroad Officials.
 The Democratic national platform declared for trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt" and approved the measure against government by in- junction passed by the senate of the United States in 1896. A large part of tue Republican press of the country denounced that plank of the Demo cratic platform as an attack upon the courts, but now Republican president has declined to permit this same weap- on of injunction to be used against the railroad officials who have been caught red handed allowing rebates, thus vio- lating the interstate commerce laws. At the same time that President Roose- welt gave out his defense of Secretary Morton, who acknowledged rebates had been allowed by the Santa Fe rail road under his management, members of a labor union of Chicago were be- ing committed to prison for violating an injunction forbsdding an act not yet committed.
 If inJHnctions of the courts are to be granted against the labor leaders and not against the railroad leaders it would seem to be time for congress to Ge-r.ye the federal judges of the Drivi-

ONLY A SMALL PART.

The statement has been made by the territorial exchanges that the territorial board of equalization proposes to raise the mining com panies of Arizona forty million dollars on their assessment returns. In this connection it would be we'll to note that in Mexico the tax on mining property is being lowered. The new law will reduce the an- nual tax of tbe Greene Consoli- dated company at Cananea $31 ,000 a year, which is a big saving to that company. Clifton Era.
 THE OASIS would call the atten- tion of its Clifton contemporary to the fact that the reduction of the tax on mining property in Mexico is in the federal tax-one unknown i'll the United States. It is true that has been reduced throughout the republic. But the state tax on product Ga tax which is paid by none of the Arizona mining com- panies) yet remains. In Sonora that is 23% of the value of the product of copper mines; and it is paid regularly on the Cananea out put. Upon the product of gold and silver mines the federal gov- ernment of Mexico has levied tax of 9ge. That Is now reduced to 5qo. But what gold and silver mines in Arizona are paying taxes equal to 59o of their gross product? And what copper mines pay a tax amounting to 23Go of their gross product? We're the dividend paying mines in Arizona assessed at S1OO,- 100000 the tax they would pay would not equal one per cent of their gross product.
 The attention of the Era is called to the foregoing assertion with request that the Clifton newspaper will controvert it if possible.
