Testimonial of Appreciation.

When Alex Veitch retired as the
manager of the Arizona Copper COM
pany some months ago, movement
was started among the employees of
the company to raise money for the
purchase of Il suitable present, as a
mark of appreciation for the con-
sideration he had always shown to
the workingmen, and especially for
those in the employ of the Arizona
Copper company. The money was
raised, and complete set of silver
ware ordered from Tiffany's, which
arrived last week and was on ex-
hibitiou at the office of the company
on Saturday last. The silver is en-
cased in a beautiful oak chest, which
contains many drawers, in which are
arranged the silver pieces. 1t would
be impossible for the ERA to attempt
to give a description of the various
articles in the set, at least without a
catalogue. The entire collection
must have cost a small fortune, but
they are not appreciated so much on
account of their intrinsic value, as
for the sentiment and kind wishes
connected Herewith.
The copper era., 1906-11-01

AT THE democratic rally at SAT-
ford last week Hon. Wiley f. Jones
made a speech against jointure
which the ERA regrets that its space
will not permit copying in full.
Among other good things, however,
Mr.. Jones stated:
That the territorial tax rate
in New Mexico is S1.55 on the
500 over and above their county
torial tax rate is but 70 cents on the
ham county has gone down to SI.75,
with 10 cents for territorial purposes
making our tax in Graham county
$3.50. That if we were joined to
New Mexico, instead of our terri
torial tax being but rs cents and
theirs being S1.55, we would have to
bear that big burden of S1.55.
That in New Mexico their debt is
49, SO on the 500, while in Arizona it
is but 1896; that if we were united,
the two territorial debts would be
placed upon the new state,
and the debt now upon
New Mexico would go down to $3.50
on the 800, while Arizona would go
up TO CndC inquire, CnuS increasing our
burden S1.34 on each 800.
That in Arizona no county warrant
can issue unless money is in the
treasury to meet it and cancel it,
while New Mexico has no such law,
and she has hundreds of thousands of
dollars of warrants floating about
and are not figured III her immense
bonded debts.
That in Arizona our territorial tax
rate in 1901 was SI.17 on the 800 in
1902, S1.13; in 1908, S1.05; in 1904 and
1905 it was 50 cents and it is now but
10 cents on the 800.
That in New Mexico the territorial
tax rate in 1900 and in 1901 was 81. 40
on the 800 and has now increased to
Sl.55 for the present year as shown
by the governors report.
In reference to Mr.. Ainsworth' S
statement that our territorial debt is
increasing, Mr.. Jones wired to Phoe-
nix for full information and received
the following from the anti-joint
statehood committee:
PHOENIX. Ariz., Oct. %, 1906.
Wiley E. Jones, Stafford.
"rerritorial auditor informs me
county debts reported during three
years previous increased eightythree
thousand dollars, buildings and i'm
provements, for which counties are
re sponsible. Territorial debt de-
creased forty-two thousand dollars

The copper era., 1906-11-01

IN his speech here last week Judge
AinswOrth attempted to make the re-
publicans believe that jointure is a
party measure. 1t will be remem-
bered that the national republican
platform was silent on the subject,
though the president has declared
himself in favor of it. That it is an
administration measure no one will
deny, but that is an entirely differ
ent proposition. The republican
party of Arizona has declared most
emphatically against jointure, hence
a man is strictly in line with his
party who votes against jointure and
for Billy Cooper for congress.

Herman Noll has leased the Casino
bowling alleys for the season and will
be pleased to see his friends. The
Casino is one of the most popular
resorts in Clifton. 1t is quite likely
that several three-men teams will be
organized in the near future, which
will make things more interesting
than the usual bowling of a few
games. Prizes will be given each
month to the high scores. The
match games last season proved
quite a success, but five members to a
team consumed too much time and
for that reason the teams ought to be
reduced to three members.

REWARD OF $4,000.
IA Special Proclamation by the Governor
of Arizona.
Be it Known:

WHEREAS, it is made unlawful by
the statutes of Arizona for any per-
son to give or offer to give directly
or Indirectly any money or valuable

election.
Now, therefore, I, Joseph H. Kib-

CLOSING TIE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign in Graham
county will close in a few days. The
republicans have made the most re-
markable campaign in the history of
the party in this county. They have
visited and spoken in almost every
precinct in the county, and even in
the heretofore solid democratic pre-
cincts they have had large audiences,
and have been most courteously and
kindly treated by the people. They
haye made an honorable and clean
campaign from start to finish, and
they will now rest their cause with the
people.
This is a different campaign from
any in the past. The population has
materially changed during the past
two years, and the socialists are sup
posed to be Tuch stronger than
heretofore. 1t is conceded that the
socialists draw their main strength
from the democratic ranks, and as
they now have a full ticket in the
field, their advent into the political
arena is decided advantage to the
republicans.
Another factor which adds greatly
to the chances of republican success,
is the dissatisfaction with the demo
cratic ticket and the manner in
which it was nominated. So far the
candidates have made but slight pro-
gress toward a reconciliation of their
forces, and as consequence their
chances of success are greatly dimin-
ished.
The copper era., 1906-11-01

AS AN illustration of the bitter
ness and animosity of the jointure
advocates against the mining COM
panies, it is only necessary to quote
one sentence from the silver-plated
orator, Colonel Tom Fitch, who spoke
in this city last week, in which he
made the following statement:
"When 1 meet a bunch of rattle
snakes 1 look to see which way their
tails are pointing and then [ lose no
time in travelling in the opposite di-
rection. And so it is in this state
hood matter. When found that the
copper companies were against it,
then 1 changed my mind and came
out in favor of it."
It is not necessary to say that Mr..
Fitch is not interested in mines or
mining, neither is he a taxpayer.
The miners certainly have as good
right to express themselves on this
important issue as have the ranch
men. the farmers and the business
men, with whom they are in line.
Comment on the above lucid expla-
nation of the Colonel's change of
front on the statehood question is not
necessary. 1t shows, however, that
he has lost the clear reasoning powers
which he once possessed, and that he
is attempting to secure votes for
icinture by arrayiug the people
against the men who have made Ari-
IONA what it is.
The copper era., 1906-11-01
Cooper in Clifton.

! The people of Clifton were ad-
dressed last night by William F.
Cooper at Library Hall, and also by
Ex-Governor Giddings, of Michigan,
now a resident of Arizona.
The meeting was presided over by
J. F. Cleaveland, the republican
nominee for delegate to congress.
of the campaign in this county, and
also refuted some of the assertions
previously made by democratic
speakers, after which he spoke of
the individual qualifications of the
various candidates on the republican
ticket, all of whom were. present on
the platform.
Governor Gliding spoke briefly,
but proved himself to be an old-time
campaigner.
Mr.. Cooper reviewed his work
against jointure, and then told the
people something of his own ex-
perience in Arizona. He came to
the territory for his health sixteen
years ago and first found employ
ment as section hand on the Santa
Fe railroad, after which he skinned
mules" and worked in the mines for
several years. He then bought a
newspaper, which enabled him to
make q sufficient amount of money
to continue his study OF the law. He
was admitted to the bar, and was
twice elected district attorney of
Pima county, q position which he
filled most acceptably to the people.
He is the only man ever nominated
by either the republican or demo-
cratic parties of this territory who
ever actually labored with his hands,
and he is proud of the distinction.
To rise from a laborer on the section
to the standard bearer of great
party is an honor accorded to but
| few men, and a man who can do that
has the metal in his composition to
make an active working delegate to
congress. He is from the class of
men who ''do things and if elected
he will make the best congressman
that Arizona ever had.
The copper era., 1906-11-01
"Anti- joint statehood committee.

ONE of the democratic county pa
pers states that the democrats have
been in control of the board of SUI
pervisors for the past two years and
during that time the tax rate was
reduced from $500 to $3.50 per hun
bred. The editor might also have
stated that the taxable wealth of
the county just about doubled in the
same length of time, which accounts
for the reduction of taxes. The su-
pervisors did not create this addi-
tional wealth, neither were they in
strumental in having it assessed. 1t
is therefore plain that the county adj
ministration had nothing whatever
to do with lowering the tax rate.
