MR. TAFT'S
 FORECAST

To special staff correspond ent of the New York World Pres ident- elect Taft gave a statement forecasting what the nation might expect from him as it's ex- ecutive. He said in part:
 "The Republican victory means primarily that the Roosevelt ad- ministration is approved by the American people. In the enor- nous business development of the. last 12 years there crept in corporate abuses, laWlessness of the great corporations, among the railroads and infdelity to financial trusts. There came among the people a moral awak- ening, quickening of public conscience, and the exponent of that feeling-the man who led public opinion and who guided it's expression-was Theodore Roosevelt. He asked congress to help him with needed legisla tion, and it did, and in a few short years steps have been taken to stamp out those abuses. A change has come over our great business corporations and rail roads that it is hard to over esti- mate.
 There is more to be done along this line, not so much in the way of originating correc- tional legislation, for the path has been blazed, but in the devel- opment of machinery for the eff cient enforcement of the meas ures now on the statute books, and some legislation making cer- tain, exact and prompt the dis scopery of corporate evils and their prompt and just correction and punishment.
 Great corporations-call them trusts, if that is the popular term when conducted within the law are a considerable part of the force that makes for the prosper ity of the country. 1 am in favor of combinations of capital, just as I am in favor of combinations of labor, when those combinations are rightly conducted.
 My record on labor, my atti- tude toward labor, were misrep- resented from the beginning of the campaign. I believe that l convinced intelligent labor men of the country that I had been misrepresented. I proved to them that, far from being an en-

Looked Like a
 Fire Sunday

Sunday afternoon smoke was seen is- suing from the safety surrounding the stovepipe in Traeger's store. and for a time it appeared that the city was to witness & real fire. E
 Several parties noticed the smoke, and went to notify MT. Davidson, the store manager. They found the store locked at the time, and not deeming the situation serious enough to warrant breaking the door, the fire alarm was sounded. Immediately Fire Chief Day. idson appeared and the door was un- locked. Upon examination the situa- tion was shown to be without danger, and occasioned much relief.
 During the mild weather of the past two weeks only very slow fire of green birch had been kept, with the result that the top pipe was almost closed with creosote. When large fire was made Sunday, the smoke unable to get through the top of the pipe had passed through the joints in the safety and came out around the pipe. looking very much as if the roof was on fire. The pipe was taken down and cleaned and the difficulty removed, and everything was soon as good as ever.

TRADUclNc MARK SMITH.

Some of the democratic news
papers are throwing fits" over the
"traduction" to which Mark Smith
is subjected in the present cam
paign at the hands OF republican
orators and newspapers. Up to
this time THE OASIS has seen moth
ing that can be denominted cor
rectly as "traduction." Mr.. Smith
is man who has filled the public
eye many years as a successful as
pirant for Office. The record or
lack of record he may have made
in public office is a subject OF
proper criticism. When a man
has filled a public Office and seeks
reelection, or when he seeks office
for the first time his record and
qualifications are subject to scru-
tiny and criticism; and those OPP
posing his election or reelection
have perfect right to point out in
the career or record OF the candi-
date his defects and shortcomings,
as their reasons for opposing his
election or re election. That is the
very essence of free government,
and it is the rule of action in
political controversy wherever free
government exists. Anything be.
side would be travesty upon free
institutions, and can have no place
except under such forms,of govern.
ment as those Of Russia and Ger
many, where the people have little
to say about the conduct of tneil
government.
In legitimate way the republi.
can newspapers and public speak
ers in Arizona have presented their
dissent to the all sweeping claim:

ocratic candidate for congress

a federal building? And it is not
"traduction" of Mark Smith to as.
sert that had there been a repubi.
can delegate in congress from Ari.
iona there would have been
federal building in Nogales long
years ago. Mr.. Andrews, the re.
publican delegate from New Mex
leo, secured from the present con-
gress an appropriation of $250,00O
for federal building at Albuquer-
que, which needs such a structure
not half SO much as does Nogales.
Why has not Mark Smith such
building here as a monument to
his ability and energy as Arizona's
delegate in congress? And it is
not "traduction" of Mark Smith to
ask that question.
When H. B. Ferguson was the
democratic delegate from New
Mexico he secured from congress
donation to the territory OF 100000
acres of land from the public do
main, some of it being fine forest
land, and the remainder valuable
agricultural land. Leases, sales
and stumpage from those lands
have been valuable asset OF the
territorial treasury and have yield
ed a handsome revenue. If the de-
mocratic delegate from New Mexico
could accomplish SO much for his
territory why could not Mark
Smith, our democratic delegate
have accomplished as much for
Arizona? And it is not ''traduc-
ction" of Mr.. Mark Smith to state
the fact and ask the question out
lined in this paragraph.
And there is long line OF sins
o! omission upon his own part as
delegate in congress from Arizona
chargeabe against Mr.. Smith that
have been ventilated in this cam
paign by republican newspapers
and speakers. Against that long
line he offers as an offset only his
opposition to Joint statehood and a
federal building at Phoenix; while
in both those cases he could have
accomplished nothing without the
aid of republicans. And it is not
"traduction" of Mr.. Smith to say

hloDVy anu OblcI hIlLOilu lCpuoii-
cans against the policy of the re-
publican national administration
which made possible the defeat of
that measure. Had Arizona re-
publicans generally followed the
lead of the Roosevelt administers
ton and supported the measure,
the Foraker amendment would not
have been proposed or adopted,
and jointure would have been ac-
complished in spite of all Mark
Smiths efforts to the contrary.
And it is not "traducing" Mark
Smith for a republican speaker or
newspaper to make the assertion.
Mr.. Smith has been very lame
in accomplishing results for the
people of Arizona. In all the years
he has been in congress he has
never succeeded in getting through
a public building appropriation
until the present congress, when
he did introduce and have passed
bill for public building at Phoe-
nix; but it is a matter of doubt
whether he would have succeeded
in that had not the measure been a
pet scheme of the reclamation SER
vice. 1t is stated on good author
ity that the measure was prepared in
the Office OF the reclamation service
in the Department Of Agriculture,
and the way paved for its enact
ment before Mr.. Smith ever saw
the bill. Then, as a courtesy due
the delegate from Arizona the bill
was given Mr.. Smith to introduce.
After introduction the measure
went through with all possible des-
patch, for the reclamation service
had fabricated the ways. Now,
then, when the democratic news
papers of Arizona make the asser-
ton that Mr.. Smith secured enact
ment of the bill providing a federal
building at Phoenix t is not "tra-
duction" OF Mr.. Smith to tell the
true story Of the bill and the way
it was secured; as THE OASIS has
done in this paragraph.
! When Arizona wanted to build
territorial capitol building Mr.
Smith did get through congress an
act to permit the territory to issue
bonds to pay for it. When New
Mexico wanted a capitol, her dele
gate in congress pushed to en-
actment bill appropriating money
from the United States treasury tC
pay for it. And it is not "traduc
ton" OF Mr.. Smith to point out how
much more New Mexico's delegat,
was able to get for his territory
I; than was Mr.. Smith.

Mark Smith promised to secure al
appropriation for a federal build
ing at Nogales. So did Colone

INTERESTING SUIT.

The suit of the United States Of
America vs.. Theodore johnson, In the
Circuit Court Of the United Sht's for
the Eastern District Of Virginis, viii be
heard at the next term 10 t1is city. The
government is claiming Ownership over
sserty feet of ground on the eastern
aide Of the military road leading from
Roselyu to Fort Myer, whtre it passes
through the Drain property, and IN TINS
claim Is a considerable part OF the lol
owned by Theodore johnson. Mr.. james
2. clements is attorney for the defen-
dant and today filed bis snswer to the
bill. and ia it he alleges that the govern
ment has no title to anything under the
deed from Charlotte L Drain and hus-
band of date September 9Otb, 1902, ex-
cent the eastern half of the military
road being a strip twenty FEET wide
measuring from the center of said road
bed.
Counsel further contends that the act OF
Congress approved June 18th, 1902, ap-
propriates "a, 500, ITO purchase the land
forming the roadway Of the military
road where said land hiss not been dedi-
cat d to the public. The western half
of said road had been dedicated, 30
the government Ecould Only buy the
remaining one-hslf belonging TO the
said Charlotte l.. Drain; and as no au-
thority is given In the act to purchase
any land outside of the military road
proper, the government could not have
title to the strip of land OF about twenty
feet from the road in the Drain
property.
Mr.. Clements says that II the govern.
ment's contention should prevail, and
this twenty feet taken off of the 81 lots
of the Drain subdivision, 1t would prac-
tically render these lots valueless, and
really damage the property known as
"Rsdnor Heights" from $4,000 TO
$25, 600; and the only recourse would
be to apply to Congress for relief and
compensation.
