urges that the new state would
have better tax laws and better
other kinds of laws than the terri
tories, just remember that such
a thing cannot be true. New
Mexico and Arizona would still
send the same kind of men TO the
legislature hat they send now; and
if we have not good laws now we
could not get them then. The
New Mexicans could not help us,
for neither their tax laws, nor any
other of their laws, are better now
than ours. There is nothing even
in the "hOme rule" argument, for
while now our governor and su-
preme court judges are appointed
by the president, under the new
state they would be selected,
through the gerrymander and
other shrewd schemes, by the
Albuquerque and Santa Fe juanta.

the last named, or any other of the
heterogeneous list of people, sons
J of Shem, sons Of Ham, or sons OF
Japhet, if he will now hustle to
make Arizona truly great, and
truly American. So in making
this appeal, we have no race pre-
judice, but have deep, ineradica
BILE bias IN favor of the AMERI
CAN language, AMERICAN Gus,
toms, and AMERICAN courts.
We are proud, in Arizona, of our
progressive citizens of Mexican
blood-as proud as of those of any
other blood-for we all alike are
Americans Let New Mexico's
people get good school system,
at their own expense, Americanizo
their courts and their people and
GET BUSY. Then even congress
will admit that we are good enough
TO form Two states.
THE GERRYMAEDER
In the new state, the gerryman-
der would catch US, sure. 1t il but
an evidence of human nature. The
principle of the gerrymander is
as old as human society. We can
not expect the people of New Mex
leo to be less sagacious or more
just in politics than the peo pie of
other parts of the United States.
Just as soon as the state lrgisIa
ture gets hold, the congressional
districts will run east and west,
instead of fol owing the former
territorial divisions, and the New
Mexico end will naturally, elect
both congressman By skIIful
gerrym ,nder of districts for state
senator and judges, and by other
forms OF skilIfuI diplomacy Ari
zona would easily and naturally
be so tightly handicapped that in
later years, even though gain ng
majority of the population, we
might be long delayed in undoing

politics,

children'S children to DEMAND
the two votes 10 the senate which
our organic act promised. New
Mexico and Arizona owe it to the
entire west to fight to the last
ditch for four senators instead Of
two, thus accomplishing the spirit
of the constitution and the pledge
OF the act of congress which made
two t'rritorits Of the original one.
ARIzoNA's WEALTH VS.. NEW MExICo's
WEALTH
Every man, woman and child in
/ Arizona is on the average nearly
THREE TIMES as wealthy as the
men, women and children of New
Mexico. Therefore, in support OF
the state government Arizona
would pay nearly THREE TIMES
as much in taxes as would New
Mexico; while New Mexico, which,
by reason Of having nearly two
inhabitants to our one, would run
the state, would decide where ana
how to spend those taxes.
ARIzoNA's TAXES VS.. NEW MExICo'S
TAXES
New Mexico has tax rate
TWICE AS GREAT as Arizona.
(New Mexico's 81 55; Arizona's
rs cents } So it is logically GER
tain that in the new state our taxes
would be heavier than if we had q
q state by ourselves. OUR taxes
would be increased; NEW MEXI-
cos taxes would be decreased
We are philanthropists in Arizona,
but we do not banker after paying
other peoples taxes; and especial
ly when those other people, by
having nearly two to our one in
the legislature, can deprive us of
even a voice in fixing the taxes
and determining how they shall
be expended.
NEW MExI3o's DEBTS
New Mexico has been improvi.

IN contracting debts. We in Ari

ing of pin money in comparison
with the terrific lavishness with
which debts have been contracted
in New Mexico. 1t is true that
the territorial debt of New Mexico.
technically speaking, is less than
the territorial debt of Arizona, be
cause Arizona territory has as
sumed payment of the debts OF
Ari zona's unfortunate counties
(though with the provision that
the counties must reimburse the
territory.) But no man has stated

SPANISH VS.. ENGLISH IN OUR COURTS
In q number of counties of New

tical purposes, be said to be con-
Quoted in the Spanish language, by
reason of the fact that juries are
empanelled almost exclusively
from those who speak Spanish
alone who nave no knowledge
whatever of English However
high may be the character of those
jurors, it is repugnant to patriot
ism to sacrifice our language to a
foreign language. By statute law
in Arizona, Jurors must understand
the English language. The pruc.
tical working of the dual language
system IN the courts of New Mex
lco is described by those familiar
with it as unfortunate in the eX.

lean Of Americans, q lawyer, one
OF the most prominent, widely

in the new state requiring all
jurors TO understand and speak the
English language. He frankly said
that we cannot; that their system
must continue by reason of the
fact that there are some counties IN

MORE GOOD REASONS,

ure upon the proposition to unite
Arizona ard New Mexico into one
state is now near, The agitation
of the question has served only to
intensity the opposition, which was
outspoken upon the first utterance
of the scheme. The only'thiDg to
be gained by further argument is
20 reduce TO the lowest possible
minimum the votes to be cast in
favor ofioiut statehood. The more
nearly unanimous we are, the more
impressive will be the effect OF our
vote. Therefore, hoping TO con.
tribute to this end, without repeat.
ing at length the arguments which
have been urged so fully from time
to time, we present summary of
some points which should be thrust
at every honest joint statehood ad'
vOcate:
THE WEST AND EAST.
There is an increasing number
of questions in which differences
arise distinguishing the east from
the west. The interests of both
east and west are actually iden-
tical; the prosperity Of one section
is bound TO that of the other But
Just where those interests lie and
how that prosperity may bo at
tanned gives rise to honest differ
ences Of opinion in legislative
balls. 1t is not wise that the east
should have greater predominance
in the senate than is already inev-
table. The west will always have
ITS proportlonatc strength in the
house; but ultimately, composed
as it is Of states immense in area
and advancing in population with
tremendous strides. it will exceed
the east in population. The. east,
With its mum erous small states, will
permanently eoutroll the senate.
Arizona is destined to be a mag
nificent commonwealth Of vast pop.

future), every level piece Of land
