TO WORK THE ROUGH.
 RIDERS.

Because Thomas ]. Laird of Groom creek was Rough Rider, inc ioiuture scbcmcrs in New Mexico are evidently of the opinion that through his per. sonal admiration for President Roose. welt, hc can be used as tool to do their prosclyting work in this section of Arizona
 But Tom Laird is not that kind of n mnn. He is so vigorously opposed to joint statehood that he will not even dcign to reply to the following letter which hc received yesterday from Dele. gate Andrews of New Mexico:
 Albuquerque, x. M.. Aug. 23. Thos. E. Laird, Esq, Prescott, Ariz.
 My Dear Sir: Your name has been given me by comradc Major Klewelln, of Las Cruces, New Mexico, and I have taken the liberty of addressing you on the subject of statehood. and I would he greatly pleased if you would drop mc line and give me m idea of the situation in Arizona as regards joiniurc.
 I enclose you q joint statehood bu, ton. you will notice the picture of the President in the center.
 should you want any to distribute in your section, please lct me know, and I will send them to you.
 Hoping you will let me hear from you, nm, yours very truly,
 W. IT. ANDREWS.
 Referring to the above. Mr. Laird said: "I am against Arizona being welded ,o that New Mexican outfit It would bc the grcntcs, calamity that could bcfal Arizona. ! know the bunch over there, and want none of them in mine. Not only am opposed as a true American citizen to have tho McXicans which predom. mate over there and control the lcgis. la,urc. 'o govern mo, but it is bad thing. from q business standpoint. The New Mexican tax rate is sI.j5. and inc Arizona rate 75 cents. In order for them 'o get lower rate as a joint state. Arizona would be compelled to pay higher rate, ft least sl.i5. to strike an average. We are able to take care of ourselves in Arizona, and ob. ject 10 being blcd to help New Mex. ico in her financial dilemma. In quot. ing me against joint statehood, you can't make it too strong to shit me. Every working man and every prop eriy owner in Arizona should feel the same way"

The persistence with which William R. Hearst maintains himself in the limcligh, as a candidate for office makes the question of municipal ownership tlr leading Hearst issue of special interest to New Workers, and every fresh development in connection with it in any part of the country is prompt ly taken up and discussed by the me tropolitan press. During the past week the difficulties which Omaha is cncountering in attempting to secure the control of the waterworks system which supplies her citizens has come m for special attention. According to the press dispatcher publish there, the city first forced the local water com pany into an appraisal of its prop erty, then attempted to deprecintc the value of the property by reducing wh' ter rates. and holding up the compnny's bills. and finally is trying to evade its contract because the appraisal is Iare' CT than the amount appropriated for the purchase of the property. All o' which tends to indicate that the mnni' cipal ownership question is still very mueh alive in spite of the defeat of Hearst at the last election.
