MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
 FOR SHELTER CITY

The people of Douglas have the op- portunity offered them now to secure the ownership of the water system in the city. According to the figures prepared by a disinterested expert the water system earned for its pres ent owners a profit of S26,000 last year. As the city grows and requires more water the profit on it will in crease. The city council has found a reliable purchaser for the bonds required for the purchase of the wa ter system of Douglas; the interest Is , per cent, the minimum paid on any similar boad issue in the terri tory The water plant will pay this interest and provide for the principal when it becomes due and leave q handsome profit every year which will increase as time goes on. This profit on the water will either result in a material reduction of the city taxes Or the reduction of the present price of water.
 The price of which is to be paid for the plant of the Douglas Improve ment has been pronounced not ex- cessive by a disinterested committee chosen by the city council; if this price is accepted now the city will secure a splendid bargain which will eventually mean cheaper water and more trees and lawns in Douglas and thereby a more beautiful city. If the bonds are refused there will be no future hope of securing municipal ownership of the water system for years and then we believe that a greater price than is now offered will have to be paid.
 Already the city council has pro vided for a water commission which wlli be placed in charge of the busi- ness of acquiring the water system. This commission will be composed ,ac cording to understanding, of compe- tent business men who will have every reason to enforce economy and the strictest business methods in inn proving and maintaining an efficient water system.
 The owners of the present water system seem to be very indifferent as to what the city does in this mat ter. though 1t Is believed that they would prefer that the city take the plant now so that they win be re lieved from the extensions and re- pairs which will have to be made soon. thus adding to their invest. ment.
 So far as we have been able to gain any knowledge of the public senti- ment regarding the municipal owner

It is not the price of copper which has interferred with that industry so much as the lack of demand suffi- cient to consume the product as fast as it arrives at the refineries. In 1902 there was the greatest activity in Arizona in the copper industry. That year was the one when the Copper Queen began the construction of it's present great smelling plant In this city and it was that year when cop per stocks soared to the highest point still the average price of copper for 1902 was only $11.62, or about one dollar per hundred pounds less than it Is now. It will be remembered that during these days one hardly ever heard the price of copper mentioned and certainly there was no complaint about the price. It will be remem- bered that a good many years ago copper went down below cents per pound and that was when the facil- tiles for manufacturing 1t or trans porting the ore, coke, cts, were not nearly so good as they are now. Still during that low price period the Cop per Queen mine, the Arizona Copper company's mines at Clifton, the Unit ed Vende at Jerome and other prop critics in the territory continued the production of the red metal
 During the present year the copper surplus has been gradually, growing
 less until now it amounts to but lit tie more than one months produc ton in this country With the sur plus wiped out and the industries of the country growing in activity the outlook is certainly good for a better price for copper in the near future

SNEAK THIEVES PAY
 VISIT TO BROOkERS
DURING SHORT ABSENCE FROM HOME COUPLE ARE ROBBED
 OF MUCH CLOTHING

DOUGLAS, Oct. Special )--
 Sneak thieves were busy last even ing at the home of P. NJ. Brooker back of the Cottage hotel and got away with lot of wearing apparel belonging to Mrs. Brooker, her bus band losing little in the way of his personal effects.
 Mrs. Brooker is just recovering from a spinal trouble and it has been her custom to go out with her bus. band a little while each evening to get to walking once more At first these walks were of necessity very short but each evening has seen them heightened little until last evening they walked as far as Tenth street
 Only going for a short walk it was the custom of the Brookers to lock the back door but only close and not lock the front door hardly realizing that their stay from home was leng- thening and fearing no danger of theft because of the proximity of neighbors. Last night was their longest absence and on their return they found the front door open. The gas was then lighted and they found that visitors had come in their ab, sence and departed with practically all of Mrs. Brooker's clothing. The only personal property of MT Brook. CT taken was a pair of khaki trousers a pair of suspenders and some night clothes.
 The officers were notified last night and are now working on the matter.

WHAT WILL BILL sAYg

Before President Taft has conclu- ,ded his remarks standing on the steps of -Arizona's beautiful capitol building on October 13. some intrepid son of Arizona is likely to ask: How about Statehood for Arizona, Mr. Taft
 At this pertinent and timely ques- 'tion the President may De expected Io don one of his most expensive smiles, beam down upon the assembl- ed populace in manner calculated to inspire confidence. and say: T have been most profoundly impressed with the resources and importanye of Ariz- ona l earnestly hope to see Arizona admitted to statehood at the next session of Congress and shall take pleasure in urging the passage of the statehood bill in my message"
 The above. or words to that effect. will be about the best we can expect from the President on the statehood question while he is in Arizona He has said as much before.
 But-it must be borne in mind that We have heard these promises before and although President Taft may be honest and sincere in his de sire to see Arizona admitted, he is not the law making body who must pass upon Arizona and New MeXico's re- quest. The time for the admission of uf laGt session of congress. We can still hear ringing in cur editorial ears the clar- ion tones of the gentlemen from Coconino who performed that daring feat of riding across country from SpringviIle to AIorenci promising us statehood for Arizona before the first day of last March and here the ides -oT October are upon us and that promise is unkept There was no qualifying clause in the bold state ment made by Arizona's present del egate in congress. He even went so far as to assure his audiences that if his prediction did not come to pass neveF-never again would he appear before an Arizona assemblage of vot- CTS asking for their suffrage. Taken at his own word, Delegate Ralph Cam seron is forever eliminated from the political arena.
 We hope President Tafs recommen- dation and the efforts of Delegate Cameron will yet prove successful but there are no present indications to Hull US into the confidence of victory The Democratic position. both at hoCne and abroad, will undoubtedly be to give our Republican friends free hand. Any plan. within reason, which tiey propose having for it's pu 1,o. e ceiI;,iE statehood for Arizona, will be readily agreed to and upon them must rest the iaurels of victory or the odium of defeat. In our prognostica- lions, howere~ we must not forget that Senator Aldrich still occ1pies a seat in the senate and Senator Bey- eridge is still nursing his joint-state- I3cod teddy bear.

BUFFALO BUSINESS MEN

FOR COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
 Hardly day passes but that a special election takes place some where among the middle western states for the adoption of the com mission form of government by 8 town or city which has watched the good working of that kind of govern ment in Des Moines or Galveston and wants its benefits. Usually the new charter is adopted. Sometimes it is defeated. but the number of very close votes in the case of defeat is strik- ing.
 The cities which have felt the need of this reform range for the most part from a population of 1o,OO0 to pop ulation of 100000. In smaller cities the people are in close enough touch with their officials to keep them pretty well in hand In larger cities there is still some uncertainty as to how the system would work. It is probable that very large cities have too complex and extended activities to be best governed by commission but it is for tn efuture to show where the limit lies, if anywhere.
 Buffalo business men are apparent ly anxious for the commission system. At a mass meeting held on the floor of the corn exchange they voted unani. mously to recommend it. Buffalo has four or five hundred thousand inhabi- tants, and a very stormy period ahead in municipal affairs. The evil pros poets have evidently increased the de- sire for the reform The exceptional size of the city would make an expert ment there very valuable.
 The essentiG, feature of the com mission government is sometimes said to be that it concentrates the scattered powers of government in a single body. More vital than this, however, is the fact that it centers responsibility where it cannot be lodged. Each commissioner must justify his administration of his de partment to the whole city. He must stand on his record. And when city has only four or five commissioners to elect instead of mass of execu- tive officials and aldermen 1t can easily separate the good from the bad. It would be better everywhere if the commissioners come up for cleo ton one at a time, and in a city as big as Buffalo this would seem to be essential to the success of the sys- tenn.

ship proposition the large majority of the people are in favor and will vote for the bonds: but to authorize the bonds there must be two-thircs of the vote cast in favor of the proposition. So it would be well for those who desire municipal ownership of the city water system to exert themselves in the matter of securing every vote possible for the bond issue. It will mean much for the future of every citizen of the city of Douglas.
