POSSIBILITIES OF YUMA
 REGION UNEMPLOYED.
The Soil Simply Marvellous in Its
 PrOduCtiYeneSS. :.
And the Climate is lntoxiCdtingly
 SdiGbriOuS.
BY GEORGE W. BURTON, in Los Angeles Times.

It is very far from a semi-mcllcnium since three little open boats under the flag of Spain first touched the waters of the western hemi- sphere and revealed the New World to the eyes of Europeans. Ii fS only little over century since the United States of America sprang, so to speak like Pailas Athsne from the brain of love, a completely armed addition to the family of nations. It is but little over half century since CaliforHa became part of these United States O: America, and less than generation since the settlement of the Great Southwest began.
 In all the 125 years since the Republic was founded also in the half-century since California became one of the States of the Union, and dur
 ing every year of tho last thirty, a realization of the vast riches Of the American continent, Of the territory of the United States and Of this Great Southwest has been more and more as toniahing the minds of men. One would sup pose that by today we knew pretty thoroughly what the undCvcloped resources of the Great Southwest might reasonably be expected to be- come. We have not reached the depths of this great ocean of wealth with our plummet line yet.
 in q residence Of forty years on the Coast, the writer thought he knew a little about what there is on the Coast, aud as most of these years have been spent in and around Los An geleS, he naturally had q little conceit that he was pretty well acquainted with the Great Southwest. Last week trip to the Colorado River bottoms, below Yuma, made him feel as tcnderfoot who had come Tn on the last train. New to him. this wonderful region and it's possi- Bflities are pretty well known to q great many readers of The Times by the stories published, if not by the demonstration of their own eyes.
 Yuma lies on the map just twelve miles from where the government is putting in the great Laguna dam. at tho confluence of the Gila and Colorado Rivers. It is twelve miles from Yuma down the river to the Mexican boundary line on the Arizona side Of the river At one point, just below Yuma, thc international boundary line rjins up along tho river which there takes westerly trend and from Yuma to Mexico is only few miles.

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-07-25
Look ont, Finley!

Week by week, the Southern Railroad con-
tinues to lengthen its Death roll
On July 10th, the dead mans name was
Aiken, the freight train engineer.
On July 18th the victims included Labor
Agent George Moore, and six unidentified ne
groes," killed at Johnson City, Tenn.-passen-
ger train at 50 miles per hour running into
switch engine.
Scarcely a week passes without these re-
ports of persons wounded or persons killed on
the Southern Railroad. 1t has been so for
years. 1t will continue to be so as long as
these Wall Street rasca1s who own the road
are allowed to run it for Dividends only.
Why don't they have frst-class road-bed
and bridges?
Why don't they quit employing cheap men
to do work involving skill and responsibility?
Why don't they quit working their train
crews beyond the limit of human endurance?
Why don't they adopt the automatic switch
man, and the automatic block system?
Why don't they carry the railroad above, or
beneath, the dirt road, and thus abolish the
death-trap at the grade-crossing
Why don't they quit employing lobbyists
and lawyers and editors to misrepresent the
facts, resist reasonable reforms, and oppose
Why don't they quit fighting the law, and
go to obeying it?
Why don't they quit ridiculing and denounc,
ing Public Opinion, and begin to respect it as
the judgment of the many?
Utterly foolish is the present attitude of w.
w. Finley, President of the Southern Rail
road.
Utterly non-sane is the state of mind of J.
S. B. Thompson, assistant to Finley.
Instead of listening with respect to such pa
pers and magazines as the Jeffersonian, which
only asks them to obey the law and to exer-
else reasonable diligence in avoiding the
slaughter of human beings, these men are pos
sessed by consuming hatred of any citizen
who tells them plainly that they are criminals
when they violate the laws.
Would it not be wiser for w. w. Finley to
deal with the facts, and to recognize the fatu-
Gus recklessness Of persisting in his defiance
of law and of Public Opinion?
Had not J. S. B. Thompson better listen tc
reason and change the methods which now
prevail, before he is nabbed with a warrant
charging him with the murder of some victim
of his criminal negligence?
Watch out, Finley!
Watch out, thompson
The Joe Terrell regime is thing of the
past, and you had better make a note Of the
fact.
Let the Jeffersonian give you piece of ad-
vice: Concern yourselves less about squeezing
out un-Godly profits for your Yankee bosses,
and pay more attention to equipping your
roads and trains with those well-known life

When the question of the regulation of Rail-
road rates was up in Congress, who was it that
joined hands with the Republicans to make
the Rate bill as feeble and ineffective as pos
sible?
John Sharp Williams.
The only bill pending which would really
have met the requirements of the case, was
the Hearst bill; and no Republican fought it
more bitterly than did John Sharp Williams,
the Democratic leader By combination
with the Republicans, Mr.. Williams not only
killed the Hearst BILL but emasculated that
which finally passed.
It was proposed to put the Pullman Palace
Car Company into the Rate bill so-that the In
terstate Commerce Commission could regu-
late the outrageous charges of that enormous
ly rich corporation. Mr. Williams voted with
the Pullman interests and against the travel
ing public. Can he tell the people why?
1t was proposed to put Express Companies
into the bill, so that these corporations
of which recently sliced a melon of twenty
four million dollars net profits, or 200 per
cent-could be brought under the super
vision and control of the Commission.
Mr. Williams voted against the people on
that proposition, and in favor of the Express
Companies.
Let him tell the people of Mississippi:
Why. 1t was a curious sight to see such O.
man as John Sharp Williams virtually acting
as the House lieutenant of New Yorks infa-
nous Senator Plat.
1t was proposed to put Telegraph and Tele-
phone Companies into the Rate bill; and Mr.
Williams threw the weight of his influence
into the scales for those ravenous vultures
also.
But he did even more. He aided the cor
porations to take away from the Commission
the right to initiate proceedings against un-
reasonable rates-thus destroying, in part, the
work of the great Texas Senator, Reagan.
The railroads were eager to get rid of that
provision of the Reagan bill, and Mr.. Williams
played into their hands.
Any citizen can understand how much bet
ter it was for the people to invest the Com
merce Commission with the power to COM
mence proceedings on their own motion, than
to put upon Individual sufferers the expense
and labor of institutng the contest for just
rates.
In stripping the Commission of that power
which the Reagan bill had already given, John
Sharp Williams did a mighty good thing for
the railroads-and mighty bad thing for the
victims of unjust transportation charges.
When Congressman makes record Of
which the foregoing is a fair sample, he can
not find fault with the editor who classes him,
as | do John Sharp Williams, with the cor
poration doodle-bugs.

Why Don t They Plead " ContIscatory
We clip the following from The Atlanta
Constitution:
"SAW MILLS WILL BE SHUT DOWN
TO REMAIN CLOSED A MONTH.
"Georgia-Florida Saw Mill Owners Take Rad.
ical Action.
Atlantic Beach, Fla, July 15-By vote
of ~ to 7 the Georgia-F1orida Saw Mill Asso~
citation today decided to shut down all saw
mills owned or operated by members of the
association for one month, beginning Au-
gust I.
This action was taken on account of low
prices of lumber the mill men claiming that
the high prices paid by them for tim
Der lands and the prices received for their out
put cause them to operate at a loss. They
will endeavor to secure similar action by all
other yellow pine lumber associations in the
southeast"
Now, the thing which puzzles me~is this,
why doesn't the Georgia-F1orida Saw Mill AS
sociation have its lawyers go before some Fed
eral Judge, point out what tax laws, tariff
laws, freight rates, and other little things,
prevent the lumber-men from earning net prof
its, and ask the Judge to set aside these i'm
pertinent distractions to profits upon the
ground that they are "CONFISCATORY"?
True the mill-men refer to the high prices
paid for timber land as the reason why they
cannot make net earnings, but that reason is
not convincing. A railroad corporation would
never make its knock at that point A railroad
is never heard to declare that its failure to
make net profits is due to anything but the
law.
A railroad LAWYER never wastes his intellect
puzzlinp over the prices paid for crossties
steel rails. car materials, locomotives and RIGHT
Of wav He never sets tip as reason for loss
Of profits, that he has to paw too much for anv
of these things Always his plea is that the
law Of the state has confscated his property
because, in fixing a reasonable freight or pas
seroer rate, it has cut out net profits.
WHY don't the saw-mil1 men follow the ex-
ample of the railroads.
WHY don't they hitch I'D their LAWYERS and
take a drive through the statute book?
Can thev not allege that when the state char
tered the railroads and authorized them to +ax
the lunober men THESE STATUTES WERE
CONFISCATORY7
IF not, WHY not? Tax laws are alwavs Con-
fscatorv; and when the state authorized a
railroad corporation to tax the lumber
