HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

An echo OF the statehood controversy of
yesterday resulted IN an effort to correct
the journal when the House met today.
Mr.. Williams maintained he was put in
the ridiculous position of moving to in
struct the conferees after they had been
appointed, a motion clearly out of order at
that time The correction was made as
suggested.
Pension day was fixed for tomorrow and
the legislative bill was taken up Mr..
Gaines CTenn.) offered an amendment pro-
viding 100000 for a private car for the
President
1t made no difference whether the Presi-
dent was on an official trip or on a bear
hunt. Mr.. Gaines suggested he ought to be
made comfortable A point of order by Mr..
Littauer was fatal to the proposition, al
though he recognized it's probable necessity.
Mr.. Babcock (Wis) asked Mr.. Littauer IL
he did not think II wise for this Congress
to provide private car for the President
1t might be, was the answer, but IL so it
ought to be properly considered.
Mr.. Hardwick (Ga) congratulated Mr..
Littauer In making the point of order. He
said the contingent fund for the President
was increased In the bill, and if he did not
think he would be oyerruled, ne would
make point of order against the increase.
He admitted his bump of reverence might
why every one connected with the White
House was so high and mighty that no
questions could be asked regarding the
need for requested appropriations.
A point of order by Mr.. Prince Qn) was
fatal to the proposed Increase of three ex-
aminers and six clerks for the civil service
commission. On a motion to strike out the
whole provision for the commission by Mr.
Finley Is. CO 20 votes were cast for and IS
against.
The testimony of Mr.. Wallace. late of the
Panama canal commission. on the ineffi-
cheney of civil service employees, was read
to the House by Mr. Cooper (Wis.), who
commented on the worth1essness of the
testimony and then defended the civil serv
ice.
Six clerks In the field force of the civil
service commission. being proposed In
creases, went out OF the bill on a point of
order made by Mr.. Prince.
Criticism and Retort.
In making the last point of order Mr..
Prince made the comment that tho appro-
priations committee was endeayorfng to
violate the rules In all increases.
Mr., Tawney replied that II the same pro-
cedurs of Messrs. Prince and HardW1ck was
to be continued more than half the bill
could not be considered. He charged that
they were not acting In good faith. He
wanted the country to know who was re-
sponsible for the obstruction.

Mr.. Spooner Resumes.

his speech on that measure.
Senator Spooner's argument this afternoon
was analysis Of the difference between
the jurisdiction of the courts and their jul
dicial power. He said 1t was established
regulated by Congress, but he contended
that the national legislature has no control
over exercise of their judicial power
He said that Justice Story had defined ju-
diclai power to be the power of the court to
pronounce judgment and to carry it into eff
feet between persons and parties.
My proposition" declared Senator Spoon
er, rs that when jurisdiction over any one
of the matters falling within the constitu-
-tional jurisdiction is conferred upon the
courts the judicial power of the Constitu-
ton goes with it,
He pointed out that Congress had once at
should be exercised, and in the case of the
United States VS.. Kline the Supreme Court
had rebuked the effort to limit exercise of
judicial power
Senator Spooner said that Congress might
appeal to the Supreme Court, but that Con-
gress could not grant appeal and then con-
troll the exercise of judicial power vested in
the court by the Constitution.
The argument of Senator Spooner went To

The copper era., 1906-02-15

DEMOCRATIC newspapers are al
ready bringing out congressional
candidates, and among those men
toned are T. G. Norris, of Prescott,
George Purdy Billiard, of Phoenix,
and Wiley E. Jones, of Stafford.
However, if the joint-statehood bill
fails to pass the senate, it is likely
that Mark Smith will be renominated
to succeed himself. 1t is foregone
conclusion that under such circum-
stances he can have the honor if he
wants it. Attorney General E. S.
Clark, of Prescott, has been men
toned as the possible republican
candidate, but it is not likely that he
will receive the nomination. w. F.
Cooper, of Tucson, and F. R. Stewart,
of Prescott, have also heen suggest

seems to show the least strength.

MARRIED, AT RENO, NEVADA,
Miles T. SigIer and Mrs. Alice Pratt,
Formerly of Clifton.

Miles Thomas Sigler, aged 80 years,
prosperous rancher from Fifth
River, Lassen county, California,
came to Reno last week and with
Mrs. Alice Pratt, recently of Clifton,
Arizona, applied for license at the
Office of the county clerk.
Both the contracting parties have
reached the meridian of life but they
departed from the court house as
happy as children to seek a minister
to make their union complete.
This is the first matrimonial venture
for Mr.. Sigler, who, to use his own
expression, sis an old bach"

The next legislature will no doubt
add some new provisions to the in
corporation laws which will end the
graft of those who haye been getting
rich at the incorporation business by
abuse of the newspapers of the terri
tory. Another thing which should
be incorporated into the Arizona in
corporation. laws is aprovision for an
annual tax on all companies not do
ing business in Arizona--American
The above is a timely suggestion
and will receive the attention it de-
serves from the press of the terri
tory. There is no reasonable doubt
that our Incorporation laws are en-
tirely too liberal. Under its pro-
visions Arizona is made sponsor for
many fake companies, and is toler-
ated by the people for the reason
that the territory get rake-off of a
few paltry dollars by way of fees
This, we maintain, is a great wrong.
Arizona is in a prosperous condition
and by equalizing its taxes SO as tC
cover all of the property at a fair
value, it will have ample means for ex'
penses without derivinga benefit from
fake companies, who take advantage OF
our liberal laws in order to rob peo-
pie in some other state or territory
The copper era., 1906-02-15

AT A recent meeting of the as
SCISSORS of the territory held at Phoe-
nix, it was decided to assess all
classes of property as nearly as
possible to its cash value. Hereto
fore the custom has been to assess
property at about one-half its cash
value, but in many instances the as
sessment was not more than twenty
five per cent. of its cash value, which
creates an impression that Arizona
property has a very limited cash
value. If the new order of assess
ing is adhered to in all counties the
tax rate will be lowered at least one
half, which would also mean that the
taxable wealth of the territory will
be doubled. This will make a much
better showing for the territory.
When it is reported in other states
that the tax rate is four per cent, it
certainly has a tendency to discour-
age investments, but if the rate can
be cut down one-half without raising
the actual tax to be paid, the terri
tory will stand better abroad without
hurting the Individual taxpAyer at

THE newspapers of Colorado, Ari-
iona and New Mexico now seem to be
unanimous in the belief that the
Southern Pacific will soon build a
line of road from Clifton to the
Durango coal fields of Colorado.
This line has been in contemplation
for many years by the S. P, and
many surveys have been run, both
from Clifton and Globe. That the
line will be commenced during the
present year there seems but little
doubt but whether from Clifton or
Globe is a question of great interest
to the people of this section. However,
the building of this line from either
point will be of great interest to the
entire territory of Arizona, as well
as to large portion of the western
half of New Mexico. The ERA has
always been of the opinion that the
road would be built from Clifton, as
it would be a shorter line and at the
same time afford a better grade.
This line would also pass through a
country of greater possibilities than
the line from Globe. The Mogollon
country of New Mexico, which is To-
Gated about seventy-ive miles from
Clifton, is perhaps the biggest min
eral district in that territory, and
would prove a valuable feeder to the
new line of road. Should the road be
built from this point the Mogollon
country would at once spring into
