CONVERTING CEMENT
Trust Formed to Control Coming Build ing Material

From the Pittsburg Post.
 It is very generally predicted that within few years cement and con- crete will figure larger in building op- erations of all sorts than any, if not all, other sorts of material. Stone has long been crowded out of foundations by it, and timber is getting 50 expen- sivc and is withal so dangerous and shortlived that it, too, is fast being superseded. Even brick feels the com petition strongly. The race for favor is hot between this new material, alone or combined with certain forms of steel, and plain steel as well as most products of burned clay for structural purposes.
 The new material is freproof, easily worked, durable, and widely adaptable and distributed. It has been cheap, and here is the fly in the ointment to the public: A gigantic trust, new model, said to be proof against all the assaults of the government and the law, is claimed to be an already established fact. The gentlemen who have pooled their issues in this, control about all the important plants and best processes for the making of cement, and the pub lie will undoubtedly hear from them in due time, after beef and oil trust fash ion, via the price route.
 It is to be hoped that the eminent lawyers who have exercised their talents in so unpatriotic service as trust build ing are mistaken. We now have all the trusts we can stand. And the low prices of this new building material have taught IS to hope much of it. It will take a much better explanation than a merger to make eItortion seem toler. able here.

Reports from the valley indicate that the towns of Safford and Thatcher are rapidly growing and that for all pur- poses and intents they will be ono city in the near future. If the county seat should 90 to Safford, as 1t likely will in the near future, the county buildings should be erected in the extreme west ern part of the city, or better still mid way between Stafford and Thatcher. The union of these towns would mean much for both in the shape of municipal i'm provements, such as water and light, which under present conditions seem a trihe remote. The resources of the val ley warrant one good town and the two places mentioned should mako that town.

The Silver Bel. is informed that there

The Silver Belt is informed that there is some opposition to the proposed bond issue among people who ''have it in" for the waterworks company. Now lis- ten! Here is an actual fact: If you really have 1t in for the waterworks company vote and work for the bond issue. The water company is not at all anxious to dispose of it's plant at the option price given, or at any other price, for that matter. When the prop or time comes you will find the water company influences working tooth and toenail against tho proposed bond issue. A vote against the bond issue means . vote in favor of tho water company. Remember this and cast your vote in favor of progress and in the interest of your city.

The railroad commission will cost the
 people of Arizona about $1o,00o per year, and will have the power to do nothing save convey grievances to the interstate commerce commission. It will prove a rather expensive luxury; but railroad Legislation, in tho face of the fact that none was possible, was promised. and the legislators felt called upon to deliver something in the shape of goods. Governor Kibbey has certain ly profted and should be asked to stand for a goodsized chunk of the expense.

The democracy of the Silver Belt was questioned during the session of the last legislature, because it had the manhood and courage to criticize the doings of democratic legislature. If every man who criticized the last legislature is to be read out of the party there will scarcely remain the proverbial corpor- al's guard to bury the remains of the few remaining. The Silver Belt predicts that there will be a new deal before the next legislature meets and there will be s noticeable absence of old familiar faces.

Los Angeles, in singing of her old love, Mayor Harper, warbles consider ably after this style: "There is a place in dis ere town "Where my love he goes and sits him
 down;
 "He takes a strange girl on his knee "And tells her what he won't tell me. ."
 And that is about the dope that caused the mayor to come down from his high perch. The kodak fiend was responsible in a measure for Harper s downfall.

ADVANTAGE OF LATER DAY
Lengthening of Congressional Session
 of Real Value.

From the New York Evening Post.
 The ideal thing, as we have often urged, would be to have the new presi- dent take ofice on January 1, and for the congress, elected at the sarne time with him, also to begin it's work on that date. This would conform to tho prac- tice of most of the states, and of other governments; would be businesslike, and would certainly be democratic in the sense that it would put the people s representatives in ofhce to carry out the peoples expressed will, before 1t had been forgotten what that will was. The 1st of January, of course, would be a badly fitted as tho 4th of March for out door pasgants; but these could be omit ted 1t the legal date of inauguration and had later. ~ We admit, however, that there seems to be little popular backing for 90 radical change, and that the shift to April 90 appears to be much moro in favor. The advantages of that date for festal parades and triumphant marches, with great outpouring of the people, are too obvious to be argued. One incidental benefit would come from the legthening of the "short session" of congress. If it were to sit from De- cember to April 30, instead of expiring by limitation on March 4, much hurried and half-baked legislation might be avoided, with the hugger-nugger of ap- propriation bills, seen every second year as March approaches and the des- perate and often dishonest shifts to get log-rolled or vicious bills through at the last hour. All these considerations have freshly been blown in upon the public mind by the furious gale of March 4;
 and, as friend writes us, if the move ment for change of date is ever to be helped on, ''now is the time to strike
 when the iron is hot, and the feet of
 the visiting public are cold"
