good. Any court has the right to de- clare a statute of a state unconsti- tutional, and its ruling should be re- specte6 But no court should have the right to suspend the operation of the statutes of a sovereign state that can not be declared invalid. A state should have a right to enforce its laws until those laws are declSred by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to some provision of the national or state constitutions. This practice of suspending state statutes upon exrarte application has been de- tended by high authority on the ground that if the laws are eventually found to be invalid there would be no one to make the loss good to the in terests affected. On the other hand. if after weary years of litigation during which a statute of a state is rendered imperative by injunction it is deter mined that the statute is valid, who will make the loss good to the people of the state2 The question is simply one as to which has the superior right "a sovereign states or special inter ests. The presumption should be in favor of the people of the state unless all the rules of jurisprudence are to be abandoned.
 The proposition has been repeatedly advanced of late that the federal gov ernment should take charge of all cor porations, especially railroads. When the constitution was being framed the proposition was made in the conven- tion that the national government is- sue charters of corporations: but so jealous were the fathers of the rights of the statts that little attention was paid to the suggestion.
 Government ownership or the is- suance by the federal government of charters to all railroad corporations would be fraught with the gravest dangers to the liberties of the people. Let there be placed in the hands of president of the United States the power to control every corporation in the land and there would be lodged in his hands a power that would sooner or later destroy democratic govern ment If the people of the different states allow the management of cor pOrate affairs within the states to be taken away and permit the powers re- served to the states to be centralized in the federal government, then this republic would be robbed of it's strength and of all that has made it great and powerful.
 The states can be relied upon to treat railroads and all other interests fairly. A corporation after all con- ists onl- ot a number of individuals exercising charter powers conferred by state. If the states are compe- tent to enact valid laws as to the in dividuals. they are competent to enact valid laws for a number of individuals grouped under the legal fiction of a corporation. The power to fix rates on transportation carries with it the power to destroy a business or a com munity. While in ordinary lines of business competition can be trusted to regulate prices, with a monopoly the government must supply that regula- ton that in other lines of industry is supplied by competition"

THE UPPER CHA VALLEY IA REGION OF RESOURCES
The Values of Land in That Rich Dis
 triet Are Mounting Rapidly.

Solomonville, Ariz.. Sept. 23.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican.)-- The Gila river has a length in Arizona of over 300 miles, yet the section us ually referred to as the Gila Valley is only about 40 miles long. Ten miles east of Solomonville the river comes out of box canyon, only a few hun dred feet in width and the flat area gradually widens to breadth of four miles. This continues to the vicinity of Geronimo, forty miles below, where it again narrows into the San Carlos canyon.
 This forty mile stretch has become one of the finest farming sections any where in the west and this season is by far the most prosperous and profit able it has ever experienced. The wa ter is taken from the river by about twenty different canals, all cooperative concerns owned by the farmers along the way. In a general way there are under the control of the district court and a water commissioner, appointed by the court. apportions the water to each.
 The two canals at the head Of the valley, the Montezuma and the San Jose, are the most valuable on account of their priority rights. The stock of

the latter has a par value of s1o0 a share, but the selling value Is s7o0 and will soon be s1O0O. It is. in truth, all most impossible to buy share at any price.
 Land in the vicinity of Solomonville has advanced during the present sea son fully one-third. Until recently $100 an acre was considered the ex- treme price. but now sales are fre- quently made at s130 and still higher. It is freely predicted that another pros porous season will send the price to s2OO. At that price many of the ranches would pay from 10 to 15 per cent on the investment. About three years ago a farmer near to town pur- chased a tract of unbroken land almost entirely on credit, his sole capital be- ing s2OO. He now has the land nearly paid for and has refused an offer of s7O00 for it. Many men assume heavy indebtedness with a high interest rate and are still able to pay out within a few years.
 The prevailing crop is alfalfa, all though considerable wheat and barely oi ie ioASSu' <LAeiAd As Ho" SA--'V a ''i' and has been quoted above ss during the entire season. The demand is far in excess of the supply and the buyers almost fight for the privilege of hand ling it.

THE OPENING NIGHT
 AT OLYMPIC THEATRE
A Crowded House Was We'll Pleased With the Initial Vaudeville Perform ancc.

The Olympic theatre opened last night to a crowded house, including number of the society people of the city and the verdict of the audience was very complimentary to the actors and artists who gave the program. Each humber was new and high class. novel and entertaining and called forth hearty applause and a number of en- cores from the audience. The entire performance was therefore better even than the most optimistic of theatre goers had anticipated and was fully up to t'-e advertisements and press mo- tices.
 The program was devoid of anything which might be considered not strictly uplifting or moral in tone. The ire quent applause attested to the favor with which the appearance and feats Of the Seymour twins was received. They are clever team in aerial and acrobatic performances and their part was a good beginning for the show. MT. Jack Turner did well in the illus trated song "Farewell,I Sweetheart May" a beautiful and touching ballad The German Senator" by Herb Bell. an impersonatiOn, was a taking and humorous number and MT. Bell cer- tainly has der Dutch at his tongues end, or rather a pigeontoed Dutch with an English trend.
 The program would not have been complete without the musical and laughable "Alvinos" sketch artists in vaudeville Review. Their picking of he banjo has seldom been equalled on Phoenix stage. Harry DeLane who followed as protein artist, can be foY the time being as his name indicates anything from a maid of mature years who wants man and wants him bad, to any sort of an old granny under the sun. This man makes good as a wo- man before the footlights and his work 1f character deliniation was one of the hest features on the program. The audience kept him trotting back and overytime, he or rather she" returned in a different and vari-colored cos tune.
 After the ten minutes intermission. the one act musical comedy was pre- sented by Herb Bell who had made good as the German Senator. This part was entitled ''The Troubadours." Moving pictures that were new closed he very pleasing program. The opera house was thrown open so it was com paratively cool and pleasant all even ing. If last nights entertainment is any assurance. as it no doubt is. of the future performances, Phoenix is to be congratulated on securing this class of amusement for the winter season.

Predicts PLAQUE of Locusts.

Columbia, Mo-, May 1o.-Professor
J. M. Stedman, etomologist of the
Missouri university experiment station
has repeated his declaration hat the
present spring will witness the on
slaught of a plague of thirteen year
locusts and adds that they may be ex
pected to arrived in tremendous mum
bers the latter part of this month.
According to Professor Stedman, the
scourge will be confined entirely to
the timbered portions of the state and
the prairie section will be free from
the visitation. The statement of the
expert has caused great alarm in the
fruit growing sections, where the cold
weather has already caused consider
able damage. The locusts mature ev-
cry thirteen years in wooded portions
of Missouri and do great damage,
especially to young orchards, by pune
turing the limbs to deposit their eggs.

for some time, for reasons which are
very plain, and together with the loss
suffered las year it is not surprising
that the bidding for the crop this
spring should be somewhat below
that of a year ago.
THE chief cause for the present
slow demand for medium woods is
in the passing of the rough weaves
and the turning of the mills to finer
grades of clothing stuffs. This causes
a demand for the fine Australian
woods, and while l do not consider
that there is anything depressing in
the slow demand for New Mexico
woods, there is 10 single a in
the market to lead growers to expect
a continuance of the prices paid a
year ago.
There may be and undoubtedly
are isolated cases in which a number
of buyers may get together on a sim
gle large clip, but such a thing as a
general combine among wool buyers
in the territories is, in my opinion,
impossible"

to being entitled to it as any other
man. Yet, where is the young man
of today, cursing his luck, who would
be willing to work as Edison worked
to accomplish the wonders that are
accredited to him? The young men
are few who would have absolutely
lived in a dingy little shop without
recreation, with hardly any sleep and
scarcely a bite to eat, as Edison did,
yet there are thousands of young men
who are wishing they could do some
thing like Edison has done. Probab-
important inc of industry if they
would make the personal application
and the sacrifices that Edison made.
A few years ago a young man was
employed in the state department in
Mississippi. A change in admi1istra-
ton parted him from his job and he
yer to Chicago. He knew a few
prominent railroad men, and to these
he applied for a position at whatever
they might have for him to do. In
every Ease WnS1S LIZ IudOS dppLlCdlIO1
he was turned away. and there was
something in the manne in which he
wa rejected hat hurt his pride.
Doubtless the men to whom he made
requests for work considered him of
no use to them and lacking in the re-
quirements of n work which they
had to be performed, but they little
dreamed that their brusque manners
toward the friendless young fellow
would result in so much worry and
actual cost as subsequent history
proved.
The young Writ Adams, ven
back to Jackson, Miss, but he did not
wait for opportunity-he made it. He
made a diligent study of the taxation
laws of the state, and in the course
of time made an offer to the authori-
ties to collect back taxes against n
railroads for a percentage of the ac-
tual amount recovered. The officials
had nothing to lose and had visions of
great gains, and they accepted the
young mans proposition. Many of the
SullS eItUeTeQ were SUCCESSFUL, ana Au-
ans is still prosecuting the big carry
ing corporations il any of the states
where he can show that they are in
arrears. 1t is asserted that the Hi
nois Central railroad alone has been
compelled to pay enough money in
back taxes through the Instrumental
ty of Writ Adams to more than equal
the SUN that it would have paid Ad-
ans for fifty years from the date that
he timorously asked for a subordi-
nate job in Chicago, if it had hired
him then at the same salary that the
president of the oad was paid. And
Adams opportunity is still presenting
itself in various and profitable ways.
He made it himself, and it is profita-
BILE servant for him.

mind that the day for any chance for
a young man had one by, he would
only have been doing what thousands
of other young men do. But he was
made of the right metal, and when
one opportunity deserted him he set
about to make one of his OWN, and
his success is it's own reward.

BIG BUYER SAYS WOOL
COMBINE TALK IS ROT

From Albuquerque Journal.
Discussing the recent charges made
by Arizona sheep growers that the
buyers of the large eastern houses
are in a combination to hold down
the prices of Southwestern and ter
ritory wool, a prominent New Mexico
buyer, and a man who has handled
the market for many years. says that
ak of a combine among wool buyers
is all rot
when you stop to consider the
fact that there are literally thousands
of men engaged in the buying of
wool In this country" said the buyer.
you will begin to e how ridiculous
is this talk of a combination to re-
strain prices. The only thing that is
restraining prices just now is the
condition of the market for medium
territories, which Is sluggish in the
extreme. There are hundreds of buy
ers In New Mexico and Arizona and
thousands II the West. Everyone of
and there is absolutely no possibility
Of their getting into a combine even
IL they wanted to.
Last rear the prices for New Mex
leo aid Arizona woods were unusually
high, in fact in many cases they were
record breaking. The result Is that
a great many Independent buyers and
brokers lost heavily. The demand for
New Mexico and Arizona medium
grade woods have been very slow
