NEARING scent
FARE AT LAST
MAYOR TOM JOHNSON ABOUT
TO REALIZE ON HIS PET u.s.
SUE-CLEVELAND, O., TO Ex-
PERTINENT WITH A SEMi-MU.
NICIPAL OWNERSHIP PLAN.
By Jacob Waldeck,

CLEVELAND, O., July 16.-For
nearly 20 years there has been a
steady crusade in Cleveland for
lower street railway fare and bet
ter service. The fare has been 5
cents or II tickets for so cents,
and the service has been far above
the average in American cities.
The company has paid ordinary
taxes, an annual license fee of $40
car, and has paved % feet of the
roadway traversed by its lines.
People, however, saw dividends
paid on heavily watered stock;
they knew that several other cities
were getting better terms, and they
demanded the best.
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, serving
his third term, was elected largely
ly on the cent fare issue.
He worked hard to bring the old
company to terms, but without sue
cess. He encouraged the formation
OF a company to build 3 cent fare
lines In streets now unoccupied.
The old company tied up this en-
terprise in the courts.
Mayor Tom proposed the forma-
ton OF a holding company TO take
over the property of the old CON-
pany, guarantee to bond and stock
holders present interest and divi.
dends, and to operate the lines at
the lowest possible rate of fare.
The company refused to accept the

0LD NEWSPAPER MAN |s SURPRISED AT THIS
 C|TY's PROGRESS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Thomas F. Wcedin, editor of the Florence Tribune Blade, stopped over here yesterday en route to Humboldt, where he will make arrangements with the Arizona Smelling company for n daily shipment of carload of orc from his mines in the Kelvin country.
 Mfr. Weedin was member of the council of the 18th legislature, which met in this city, which was then the capital of the territory, in the building now occupied by the Prescott high school. He founded the Phoenix En. terprisc in 1880 and was editor and proprietor of it until 1887 when he sold it and moved to Florence, which is his present residence.
 In conversation with a number of . old time friends, among which was a Journal. Miner man, he said, CT was never so surprised in my life as when l reached the plaza from the railroad dc. pot to see the many beautiful buildings in your city. When visited here many years ago the business of Monte zuma street was conducted in a number of old frame houses, which have been replaced with modern business build. ings, and there was not house on Goose Flat except old Fort Misery, then the residence of Mayor Howard, but now almost buried out of sight by the newly graded street. Prescott has certainly made wonderful advances in the past twenty years"
 Speaking of the joint statehood is sue in the county of Pinal, he said "There is not an advocate of join, statehood in our county. If there is he has not yet shown his head. The idea of forming one state out of thi, territory and New Mexico Is nothing short of ridiculous and unworthy of consideration. l know of no reason why any Ariaonan should favor it."

being one that is to be submitted to the people of the territory for a popular vote, must bc submitted upon the regu' lar official ballot, and ipasmuch ss the act of congress provides that sas names of the candidates to the conssi- tutional convention must bc submitted upon the same ballot that the question of statehood is submitted. 1t foIiows that there must be but one ballot, and that all of these matters must be sub. mitted to the people in manner aad form as provided by law upon this bsl' lot
 l advise, therefore, that the question to be submitted to the people of ths territory relating to statehood. IS prs. vided by said act of congress, be duly certified by the secretary of the terri. tory to each county hoard of supcrvis. ors not less than 25 days before cles. tion. and that said supervisors he also advised that said question, as we'll e tho names of candidates to the consti. tutional convention, be submitted upon the regular official ballot.

lt K further provided in said see ton 2i that such election for dele gates shall be conducted. and the ccr- ti6catcs of persons elected to such con vention issued as mar as may be, in the same manner as is prescribed by the laws of said territories, respectively, regulating elections therein of mem. bcrs of the legislature.
 It will thus he seen that the act of congress does not in terms provide that the names of the candidates to the constitutional convention and the question as 10 statehood shall be printed upon regular official ballots upon which the names of all candidates are to bc printed, nor does it deter mine whether separate ballots for these purposes shall be provided. It is pro. cided. however, that such election for delegates shall bc conducted, and the re- turns made, and the certificates of per. sons elected issued, etc, as near as may be, in the same manner as is pre- scribcd by the laws of said territories respectively, regulating elections there, in of members of the legislature. We may, therefore, look to the provisions of our own statutes, in so far as they aid the act of congress referred to.
 Said act, however. expressly pro- vides that the names of the candidates to the constitutional convention, and the question whether the two territories shall be united to form one state, shall be submitted upon the same ballot. IL contains no limitation as to what else n anything. the ballot may contain but leaves that to be controlled by the 'aws or the territories. That is, it leaves us free to follow the laws of Arizona as to whether the names of the candidates to the constitutional convention, and the question afore said shall be submitted upon n separ ate ballot, or whether they shall h, submitted upon the regular official ballot, containing the names of all can didates to be voted for at said general election, including members of the leg islature.
 Paragraph 2327 (section 56) Reyis cd Statutes of Arizona, 1901, provide, that
 whenever a question is to be sub mitted to the people of the territory Tor popular vote, the secretary of the territory shall duly certify the same to each county board of super. vlsors of the territory, not less than 70 days before election, and the hoard of supervisors of each county shall in. clude the proposition or question to h, submitted in the ballot to be uscd nm election day"
