Arizona Stockmen are Interested.

Stockman all over the territory are very much interested in the coming National Stock Show and Live Stock conventions in Denver. during the week of January 6 15 The railroads are showing a disposition to give @ fairly low rate. The Santa Fe has made rate of one fare plus $2 % from all points on it's line in New Mexico and Arlzona, and the Denver &y Rio Grande announce a rate of one fare for the round trip from Santa Fe and other points in New Mexico and Colorado.
 the cattle industry at the present time have arisen so suddenly that there IS more or less confusion in the minds of the stockmen over the situation, and the Denver show and meeting is well comed as au opportunity to get to- gether and compare notes. It is pro- missed that the stock show will be the greatest ever held west of Ohicag go, and the program for the American National Live Stock associ ation and the Beef Producers' association will be full of interest. A large attendance of stockmen is expected from all parts of the country. While there is every indication that cattle prices will be high for some years to come, it is ex- peoted that at the Denver meeting in January the situation will be better understood, and the result will be @ general boom in the cattle business Prescott Courier.

Pioneers Will Meet Dec. 2o.

A reunion of the pioneers of Arizon a has been agreed upon by the Arizona Historical association, to be held in Tucson December 29 It is expected that a large number of the old settlers will be there in attendance. The re- union will be held in the hall of the Pioneers association. The program will be announced later.
 The Pioneers hall, which is located on West Congress street. is expected to be the scene on the date named, of a historical as we'll as social gather ing of the early settlers of Arizona.
 It is pointed out by members of the that the ranks of the old timers are being rapidly thinned by the hand of time, and this is expected to be the most notable gathering of it's kind ever held there.-Star.

Insurgents Promise Support.

Delegate Cameron replied as follows to a query of the Douglas Dispatch regarding the statehood situation:
 "The outlook was never brighter than now. had an interview with Spec ker Cannon and wes assured of his hearty support Moreover he urged haste, saying a good beginning was half the battle. and nothing like an early start. Serene Payne. leader of the majority in the house, is heartily in favor. The bill will go through the house flying and probably early in the session. All opposition is practI- calIy gone in the Senate. It is possi- ble that statehood will be accomplished before January first, and not later than February, I believe, on the. out side."

SUGAR..

The temperate zone can evidently
never produce the quality and quantity
of that staple food commodity, sugar,
that the tropics can produce. But while
the Almighty thus arranged this mat
ter and established this fact, he raised
no natural barrier between the zones
to prevent the movement of their sew
eral products north or south to satisfy
the demands or appetites of the peo
pie Some one. we hope not irrever-
entity, has remarked that the Alm ghty
was the original free trader, against
whom the trust divinities have set up
false gods.
Since there must be revenues, how
ever, and since customs duties are
an approved way of raising them,
tariff on sugar is very proper
MEANS of raising money for govern
mental purposes. But the trouble is
that our Paynes and Aldriches conceive
and contrive a system of sugar taxation
and this is a sample of many sched-
| ules-that puts many dollars into the
pockets of the sugar trust, by giving it
| a monopoly, to one put into the federal
Golfers A great plea is made for the
beet sugar producers, but why protect
them, if their industry will not pay,
more than other farmers or toilers
Michigan is the greatest beet sugar
state, but we find a Michigan news
paper, the Detroit News. saying:
Michigan, with her farmers, who
raise on an average of less than five
| acres of sugar beets Chat is, those
who raise any at alb and her 16 beet
sugar factories, is made an excuse for
making the people pay an additional 2
cents on every pound OF sugar they
buy and so put into the pockets of the
sugar trust the enormous rake off
additional rake-off, mind you-of near
ly s142 100000 year! How much does
Michigan get of that rake-off How
many beet sugar farmers are, blossom
ing out into sugar magnates?'
And the same paper, that tries as
hard as an honest newspaper can to
be republican in politics, while true
to the people rather than to a party,
says further:
Il If this country could raise all the
sugar it needed there would be less to
! say about the tariff, but the fact is
that this country cannot raise one sixth
;. of the sugar it uses. Other countries
that raise the bulk of the sugar of the
!. world con sell to us for 2 cents a
pound cheaper than we can get it in
our own country under the present tar

placed it, would yield enough income
to support the government without re-
sorting to any alien devices to get it
Mr.. Aldrich has been against the in
come tax all along He says it will be
unnecessary. Probably he thinks
that, even if it were necessary, it
would hamper the republican party
in the approaching congressional can
yass. In 1910 a house of representa-
tives will be elected, and SO will leg
lslatures which will choose a third of
the' members of the senate. With
their present heavy preponderence il
will be easy for the republicans to
control the senate for several years
more, regardless of such mutations as
could take place in the house. Blu,
with lead of only forty-five in the
house the republicans can not afford
to lose many seats in that chamber.

THE INCOME TAX.

1t is stated that Mr.. Aldrich and his
friends desire the postponement of the
income tax proposition until next win
ter. Meanwhile the subject is to be in
vestigated by the judiciary committee
of the senate on the constitutional side
for report then.
Three questions are involved % The
constitutionality of such a tax. Can the
objection to the tax levied by the Cor
man Wilson bill which was rendered
imperative by a decision of the SUI
preme court be met? If not, all talk
about the tax is futile. AS usual, able
attorneys are quoted on either side
CD is the tax necessary for the
proper adjustment of the burden of
taxation? Is wealth Sinking? Or is it
already bearing its part of the burden
There is a good deal of assertion on
both sides of this proposition-more
assertion, indeed than anything else. A
comprehensive statement based upon
authoritative figures has not been Of
fered by either side.
go Is such a tax necessary at this
time for revenue purposes? Does the
government need the money?
This last question depends for ans
wer upon the operations of the tariff
law now under construction. TIL,
trainers of the Payne bill declared il

In the senate the same assurance il

the coming fiscal year is as great as i
was for the years this, that or another

ment But who can tell what the stat,
of business will be for the comm;

are good. But, if for any cause,

abroad, or everywhere, we should nee

Applications for registrations must

While the regulations regarding the
opening of the lands will not be avail
able until early in June, it is under
stood that those qualified to- make

register for any of the lands desig-
mated in the three reservations. This

soldiers may register through agents.

purchasers of government lands in the

Occur d'Alene reservation, 200, 900
acres, will be required to pay one fifth
of the appraised value at the time of
entry, the remainder to be- paid in five
equal annual fnstallments.
These three drawings will provide
homes for at least $4,000 persons, there
being between $500 and 5000 home
steads. Other lands in the reserves,
which contain approximately 100000
acres, will be opened in 1910 and 1911.
Those familiar with the lands to be
opened this year say portions of them
are adapted to wheat, oats and other
small grains, also root crops and fruits.
The Indians owning these lands sue

them to settlement until recently,

TARIFF HOME STRETCH.

From present indications this week
will exhaust all the heavy oratory on
the tariff, and votes on the various
paragraphs of the bill, and such short
talks as they may incite, will be
the rule henceforth to the end of the
session. If this expectation should be-
realized the country will be glad AS
Senator Root remarked a. few days
ago, the people are getting tired of
the floods of defamation in set
speeches which have no direct appli-
cation to the points under discussion
In the talk after this week the coun-
try may reasonably look for actuali-
ties and not distractions. The tariff
is a decidedly practical question, and
the people want to see their repre-
sentatives treat it as a business af-
fair. Conditions and not theories are
what the country expects congress tc
deal with in this matter After
Bailey and a few other senators who
are booked to talk tire themselves
out in the next few days, traditions,
fictions and utilities will be placed in
the background, and realities will get
a chance to say something for them
selves
Evidently the measure will be a tar
if bill of the orthodox character. 1t
will restrict itself to the customs
, schedules. No internal revenue fea-
lures will be Incorporated in it. There
will be no income tax. Mr.. Cummins
proposed an amendment for an in
come tax, and several of the republi-
can insurgents" are likely to vote
for it. Many democrats, too, will prob
ably support it. But neither the
Iowa senator nor anybody else now
believes that that proposition has any
| chance for enactment. Mr. Cummins
is far less confident of it's adoption
now than he was two weeks ago. Its
advocates attribute their loss of
ground to the circumstances that Mr..
Taft has turned against it. At first
they supposed they could have his aid
in pushing it through the Senate, but
they discovered that he favored it
only as a last resort, when all other
| chances of getting sufficient revenue
failed. Probably the president has
been impressed by Mr.. Aldrich's fore
cast that the Payne bill, in the shape
