ATTITUDE OF THE FARMERS.
By John M. stahI,

While not complaining and while freely and
gladly acknowledging their great prosperity,
due in large measure to the Development OF
manufacture, transportation and trade, farm

tween the price paid to them and the price
paid by the consumers of their products is
altogether too great and that this margin has

TAXATION IN THE STATE OF
 ARIZONA.

The income of New Mexico and Arizona from taxes is one million and a quarter of dollars per year. The income from the S5, 900, ,000 cash and $30,000, GOO land donation to the state of Ar Aona will be at least that much, and in years to come 1t will be much more In other words the munificent gift of congress equals an annual fifteen mills levy upon all the assessed taxable property in the two commonwealths for some time to come. One of the main arguments against state hood, and especially joint state hood on the part of Arizona, has been that of increased taxes, but it is. certain from the above fig nres, not to speak of the tax limitation in the constitution of the new state, that the tax bur den will be much lighter than it was under the territorial condl- tion; in fact there is every ground to predict that under statehood taxes will be only one half of what they are now. A reason that appeals to the pock- etbook of the taxpayer is always strong one and may prove ire Sistible by November 6.

Cans Won on a Foul.

Joe Cans won from Battling Nelson in the forty-second round at Goldfield, Nevada, Monday afternoon, and thus ended the greatest light-weight battle that was ever fought in America.
 Perhaps no former pugilistic contest ever created as much interest in Yuma. and considera ble money changed hands on the result, mostly at odds Of ten to six in favor of Cans. Reports of the fight show that Cans fought extremely fair and with all the cleverness of his best days; not only that, he exhibited powers of endurance for long struggle entirely unexpected after his long ring career. He outfought and Outboxed the Dane from start to finish. Nelson's stamina and ability to quickly recuPer- ate from terrific punishment saved hiTn from an early knockout: but his foul ing tactics throughout cost him many friends and were much to his discredit. In the And round he deliberately struck the colOred man a very low blow, which was Observed by every body in the arena. By the unprece- dented terms of the contest Nelson, the loser, receives S2O,CO0 and Cans, the winner, $11 ,000.

GOOD REASONS GIVEN.

In an able article on the state
 hood bill the Louisville Courier Journal, after referring to the often repeated assertion that Arizona will refuse jOinture with New Mexico, went on to say:
 Unexpected things happen, and it is altogether likely that the people of Arizona will be strong ly urged to accept the chance to become a part of the largest state in the union, with the exception of Texas. It will no doubt be pointed out to them that the chances are overwhelmingly against ArizOna's ever becoming a>state by itself; that it has been out in the cold for a long time and is likely to be out an equal or longer time if it insist on be- coming a state by itself. Hence the people will be told that they would do better to seize the pres ent opportunity to emerge from a territorial condition, for it may be a good while before they get another chance Nearly sixty years have elapsed since Arizo- na, first as a part of New -Mexi- co, afterwards as separate ter ritory, has been under the con trol of the United States. Small CT and less populous territories have become states, but Arizona has been kept out because it's po- litical status was rather wrong. as congress viewed it, or doubt ful. It is still doubtful. and therefore the territory stands a good chance to remain such un- less it be joined to New Mexico, or unless there is a change in the complexion of both houses of congress. This is one Of the ar guments likely to be made, and though Arizona has many times sworn she will never consent, it is still possible that she may change her mind.

The Bureau of Plant Industry has recently completed some work on providing a long staple cotton, almost as valuable as Sea Island, that can be grown on the uplands; and in a few years this will almost double the value of the American cotton crop. Yet the men who did the work did not make anything out of it and will not
 Now the Bureau of Public Roads, which officially has noth ing to do with crops, discovered incidentally the value of a fertil izer for tobacco made from finely ground granite. This simply means opening up an inexhausti ble supply of fertilizer at S5 a ton that we have heretofore had to import from Germany at $1G0 a ton, for there was no potash fertilizer to be had in this coun- try.

GOVERNOR KIBBEY.

Of all men ia public life in the terri tory today. the people have greater reason to be prouder of Governor Kib- bey than any other. His independence and fearlessness coupled with his ster- ling integrity and persistent determin- ation to do right by the whole people commend him as a model executive. For years the great corporations of the territory have been able to evade the payment of their just proportion of the taxes, and it seemed that they were to be able to continue to shirk this duty. Former boards of equalization failed to justly eQualize assessments, and when appeal was made to the legislature it was found that nothing could be done there. Every attempt to have the in justice righted by the legislature va met with refusal by that body and the matter left 70 the board of equalization. But when Governor Kibbey undertook it the whole business became a simple matter. Assessments were capitalized. There was no sham about it. With the accomplishment of this act of execu- tive and administrative justice to the public there has gone upa cry through out the territory, in high corporate places, that we must have the legisla- ture pass an act regulating" these matters; and we understand that an at tempt is to be made in the territorial republican convention, which conveHes in i}iSbee tomorrow, to defeat the en- dorsement of the Kibbey administra- tion. Time alone will tell the story.
 It is to be hoped the convention will be composed of enough men Of inde- pendence and good public sense to rally 10 the standard of the governor and give him substantial aid and support in carrying out his governmental policies We do not agree with him on the state hood question, but as governor he has our unqualified endorsement and we hope he may receive such endorsement at the hands of the convention tOmor- TOW.

STATEHOOD PROBLEM.

Commenting on the statehood bill, the Denver Republican speaks as follows concerning that part of the law which has reference to New Mexico and Arizona:
 While New Mexico and Arizo- na may each be entitled to state hood on it's own account, the two united would be able to maintain so much more efficient a govern ment that their union should be sought by all means. The oppo- sition which has been developed in Arizona seems to be prompted in a large degree by politicians whose ambition for state and na- tional honors will not brook 6i- vision of such distinctions with politicians in New Mexico. Bet ter, according to their view, to select two governors and other state officials rather than one of each, and better four United States senators than only two.
 They seem to have induced a large percentage of the people to accept these views, bat wheth- CT their influence has gone far enough to prevent a majority vote in favor of union with New Mexico is an open question, We are confident, however, that if the two territories are united as one state they will never there after seek separation. They will so grow into each other that their interests will become ident- ical and the people will be proud of the greatness and consequent glory of the new commonwealth.
 The vote on this question will be held in November next, and at the same time territorial off cers will be chosen, so that if union with New Mexico is reject ed the old territorial form of government will continue with out interruption. The people may count on it that in that event the territorial condition will be greatly prolonged. In fact it will not be surprising if many years elapse before either New Mexico or Arizona is ad- mitted.

NO SHOW FOR SINGLE STATE
 HOOD.

San Francisco Call: "To be or not to be-" is the question that agitates Arizona. Whether ,, 'tis nobler to endure the dullness of suspended animation as a ter ritory or to become a tail to New MexicO'S kite under the joint statehood law is the burning issue that already keeps the stump hot. It is the law that if either territory rejects the privi- lege of statehood under these conditions, the proposition fails. It is assumed that New Mexico will vote for acceptance, and the only question is as to the AriG0- na vote. While the bill was be- fore congress it was strongly op- posed by men of all parties in Arizona, chiefly on the ground that the state government would be controlled by a more or less allen or un- American element in New Mexico, where the popula- tion is largely made up of peons. In addition to this feeling there was a certain local patriotism and pride that made Arizonans desirous of maintaining their territorial integrity.
 The politicians, of course, were opposed to joint statehood. If there were two states there would be twice as many offices to divide. Their interest in the matter was more keen than that of any other class, and it is req sonable to suppose that they made the utmost of the more or less sentimental considerations outlined above.
 Now that the bill is law and a choice must be made, the politi- clans are in doubt If they stand to their guns, it must be years before congress will admit the territory to statehood. It is a question of half a loaf or no bread for a long time. We should have been glad to see Arizona admit ted as a separate state, but it would seem to be the part of wisdom now for the people of the territory to take what they can get.

ANTI-GA1BL.ENG ISSUE.

Carrying out the policy he an nounced when addressing the territorial committee, Governor Kibbey will endeavor to make taxation and gambling the prin- cipal features of the territorial campaign, pushing as much to the background as possible the amountquestion of statehood.
 The saloon element in the re- publican ranks has been inform ed of the purpose of Kibbey and Coggins, and it may come to the extreme of Kibbey being pre- vented from getting control of his party in this county.
 It IS realized by the gambling element in Arizona that they now have the light of their lives on then" hands. Either the next Legislature will entirely prohibit gambling or it will be done at the next session of congress if powerful influence is not brought to bear.
 Kibbey is charged in some quarters with preferring to see Arizona a joint state than to lose out in his higher taxatlrn and anti-gambling crusade. His at titude is that of making taxation even greater in importance than statehood. Phoenix Enterprise.
