SENATOR BARD's PLEA FOR ARIZONA

1t cogent argument in favor of Arizona's au-
tonomy that Senator Bard made Friday speech
before the senate 1t earnest logical and
judicial plea for the constitutional rights Caornias
territorial neighbors. And it all the convinc-
ing because of Senator Bard's personal acquaintance
with every phase of the issue involved the odous Ari
zona- New Mexico statehood proposition.
One feature of the senator's argument and the
presentation of it must have been effective. is based
the enabling act whereby Arizona was taken from
New Mexico and made a separate territory in 1863
fortyone years This provision of the enabling act
cited by the senator:
provided that nothing in the provisions of this act
shall be construed prohibit the congress the United
States from dividing said territory changing it's
boundaries in such and at such times as It may
deem proper"
1t will be noted that the provision clearly defines
The power reserved by congress- and hence the absence
of provision for destroying the errtorys autonomy
virtually indicates that such authority is reserved
But that is not all. AS pointed out by Senator Bard
in OF the twelve acts creating territorial gov
ernments passed by congress from 1886 to 1868 ex-
cepng only the act relating to- the territory of Wash
ngton there reservation of the right to attach
any portion of the territory any other state or ter
ritory of the United States.'
1t is evident therefore that to deprive Arizona of it's
autonomy after foryone years of territorial independ-
ence, and to merge it substantially in New Mexico
would be not only outrage upon the people of the
territory but clear violation by congress of its own
compact.
Senator Bard made eloquent appeal from his
standpoint a Californian for neighbors on the
other side of the Colorado river He said "As my
residence is in the southern part of California which is
especially thus closely connected with Arizona have
the opportunity OF knowing the sentiment the peo
pie in respect to statehood"
Then followed this earnest plea to the senate: 81
pleading for Arizona; not that she may now be
exalted to the rank and dignity of sovereign state of
the union, but that she may spared the humiliation
of being deprived of her separate autonomy which has
been recognized for than oryone years and that
she may not suffer the degradation which this bill pro
poses to nhict by forcing her people against their
wishes and protest under circumstances which are be-
yond their power to prevent and upon unequal terms TO
be joined forever with her sister territory of New
Mexico"
This forceul and convincing speech by Senator Bard
presents the statehood issue in new light from the
judicial viewpoint and is impressive general appeal
for the right There is TO believe that the speech
will have powerful influence in convincing senator's
that 1t would be outrage to force Arizona into the
statehood yoke with New Mexico

circumstances they did no appreciable
harm.
While Los Angeles has been abso-
lutely free from any disasters from
earthquakes the Angelic City has had
couple of scares-one of them hu-
geous or ripsnorting, to devise caco-
phonous words to fill the bill. About
twenty years ago was sitting in my
Office opposite the old court house
about o'clock in the evening, when
seismic disturbances began. They
were in good form and there was no
nonsense about them. My dog tip
arose, shook himself and looked me
inquiringly in the eye. The plaster
began to fall pretty freely. Tip
stretched himself gave a lububrious
howl and sought further sources of in
formation in the street outside. l par
took OF his curiosity and followed him.
The streets began to fill up in all di-
straining after effect-to say that the
people of Los Angeles spent the whole
night in the open. There was nothing
cyclopoan going on. The only thing
you could remark was that, about
every five minutes or so there was
nice, delicate little earthquake shock.
They were innocent themselves, but
perhaps the avaunt couriers of seis-
mic giants. Even the danes of the
half world forsook the red light dis
trict and roamed up and down the
streets, some of them with canary
bird cages in hand, praying for all
that was out. 1t was a night of mortal
terror with timid and emotional peo-
pie, and of concern for everybody. 1
had a newspaper to get out and got
it out, but it was a night to be re-
membered by those who had partici-
pated in its vagaries.
Six or seven years ago we had
lively "shake" in Los Angeles. 1t
was strong enough to dislodge a brick
or two from tower Of the city hall.
In falling they came near landing on
Judge Reagan, a well-known lawyer
of this city. The shock was believed
to have caused the death of that gem
tleman, which occurred soon after and
who was quite aged. AS in the case
of the San Francisco city hall in the
earthquake Of the other day, portion
of the pediment of our own city hail
was shaken slightly out of plumb.
There has been much discussion of
the water question in Los Angeles OF
late, and very wisely so. The con-
sideration Of the question OF how best
to bring from distance a supply of
the precious fluid which will be ade-
quate to the needs of the Los Angeles
of the future is rightly being con-
sidered by superintendent Mulholland
and many of our leading citizens.
There are many sagacious people who
think that Los Angeles is destined 20
be a city reaching from the noun
tains to the sea, and that a million of
Inhabitants win, within twenty years,
be grouped between Altadena and San
Pedro and Santa Monica. The meas
ures, necessary to take care OF these
urban and suburban multitudes should
be taken at once.
Meanwhile there are certain features
of our meteorological environment that
are extremely interesting and instruc-
tive. The people of Los Angeles are
short in the usual allotment of rainfall
about sixty inches I'm the last ten
years. While there can be no certainty
in such matter. it is quite likely that
the weather clerk may make up this
dehcit in the average mean precipita-
tion. 1t win In all likelihood be spread

an aged lr1Sn ScnOOlnaSter whose name
was Joshua Sloane. He lived by him
self in an old ramshackle building
built on piles, which latter were very
loose and shaky. The mischievous boys
of San Diego were in the habit of roll
ing barrel to convenient station,
placing a long pole over the barrel and
under Sloanes shanty, and giving the
old gentleman many violent shake.
He could be heard commencing his
soul to his Maker, and would be up
town bright and early the next morning
telling the good people how very near
he had been to having his house
shaken down over his ears the previous
night. AS nobody ever undeceived him
his earthquake roster grew to be for
midable one.
Earthquake Chat
A great deal of downright conster-
nation was caused in San Francisco
in 1868 by the earthquake of that year,
although at a distance it is hard to
say why. 1t shook good and strong.
although the record of damage to
property and the lose of life were
mere bagatelles. 1t is matter OF
doubt whether there was any loss of
life at all. Yet it is undoubted that
thousands of people were hanging out
of the windows of the Occidental
hotel, Lick House and other hotels
and private buildings, ready to drop
lfaka xKrac n
timidating bluff, but fortunately it
was not carried out-the war did not
come up to the proclamation.
1t is curious fact, however, that
that San Francisco shake drove many
people-and some of them quite dis
tinguished people-back east. A fam
lily of note arrived at the Occidental
hotel the day of this Seismic Terror's
advent, and on the next steamer they
started for the east. Nothing could
keep the ladies of that family here a
day longer than was required to re-
embark. That is thirty-seven years
ago, and yet nothing very dreadful
has happend since then.
quakes in California which, if they
had happend in San Francisco, or in
any center of population, would have
had appalling results. But fortunately
this coup de theater played its func-
tion in Inyo county, in the town of
independence, place where, at that
time, there were only few adobe
huts. Within twenty-four hours there
We're a couple of hundred shocks,

occurred in San Francisco we should

case. A few cattle suffered from
