ROOSEVELT FAVORS

The following article from the
Outlook last week by Theodore
Roosevelt clearly defines the ex-
presidents attitude on the inheri-
lance tax:

those who preach and practise a
gospel of mere materiallsm and
greed and who speak as if the heap
ing up Of wealth by the community
or by the individual was IN itself
the be, all aud end all of life, could
learn from the most widely read
and oldest books that true wisdom
which teaches that it is well to have
neither great poverty nor great
riches.
The movement which has become
SO strong during the past few years
to secnre on behalf of the nation
both an adequate supervision of and
an effective taxation of vast fortunes
so far as their business use is con,
cerned, is healthy movement. /
aims to replace sullen discomfort
restless pessimism, evil preparation
for revolution by aggressive, healthy
determination to get to the bottom

ARID SOIL THE
MOST FERTILE
An Abundant Rainfall
Washes Away the
Fertility.

Scientists believe that great ma
tions of antiquity purposely built
their civilizations in the desert.
From the sands of Egypt, Asia
Minor, Syria, Persia, Palestine,
Arabia and India, world empirs
arose, founded upon agricultural
wealth from an arid soil irrigated
by great rivers. That arid regions
are vastly more fertile than humid
regions is now a we'll known fact,
established by practical experience
as well as by chemical test. The
latter shows on an average three
times as much potash, five times as
much magnesia and fourteen times
az much lime in arid soil of our
Western plains as in humid soil
taken from anywhere east of the
Mississippi. Wherever rainfall is
abundant, these soluble elements of
fertility are washed away season
after season; the land becomes inn
poverished and is only partly re-
couped by heavy fertilization. In
dry soil the chemical action Of air
upon the plowed earth goes on un-
disturbed. Year after year the land
grows fatter, as plant food accumu-
lates. Fertility is thus an inherent
quality OF arid soil, which needs but
, the magic of irrigation to bring
. forth abundantly.
! In dry air vegatlon thriyes more
: abundantly than in humid. Leaves
evaporate their moisture more read
lily, thus increasing the flow Of saE
= through the plant and stimulating
growth. Only IN realized wealth
and in population is the West be
hind; and it is Just in this deficier
cy that unlimited opportunity await
the settler 1t tlkes men to deyelol
resources, and wherever the forme
:, are scarce and the latter abnndan
> the average man has better chance

Republican leaders in congress de- clare the. tsri6 bill will have been passed and congress adjourned not lat CT than June l, but their, voices do not <iaS true when they make the. claim. BoHn in their hearts most of them ex- Yert July to find them still wrangling ever the schedules .-.
 If the Republican leaders. in house and senate were able 10 agree. on a program and put ,. it through there would be no difficulty about adjourn Rent by June l, but these seems little likelihood they will be able to do this. In the first place, the leaders are .un- able to agree among themselves; and, if they were to agree, they lack the power to compell the house and senate to accept their mandate.
 There is going to be mighty little politics in the present tariff bill. With Florida, Louisiana and Texas de- handing protection on some lines and Iowa and Illinois insisting upon free trade in others, it is wholly impossible to tell where RepubHeanism leaves off and Democracy begins. This fact adds to the difficulties of passing the bill at an early day. The managers of the bill will never know of what schedule the combined opposition will command a majority, and the situation makes the possibilities of combinations and trades infinite. The bill as reported to the senate from the finance commit tee is an improvement over the form in which it came from the house, but still lacks a lot of meeting the coun- try's expectations. '-

GREAT WRONGS, BIa PAY

Naturally enough, Ar. ailburn, who receives $l 900 a day as, legal represep- tativs of the Standard Oil Company, has DO apologies to offer for the 24 per cent. profits of that corporation which ae admits is for the 50 or 100 per cent. profits which are. alleged. This is the conclusion of the New York Sun. But 1t is evident that trust develop nent and the growth of privilege have accustomed many Amefieans-ineiuding iawyers-to big figures. We often hear of single fees larger than the lifelong earnings of the most distinguished practitioners of fifty years ago. To jus tify such expenditures clients must contest for richer stakes than any that were at issue in the first half of the last century. Monopoly is a good pay master and so is privilege.
 Americans as a rule find no fault with extraordinary profits derived from enterprises depending on their own merits for success. What they complain of is the great fortunes rolled up as q direct result of unjust laws and desperate practices. There is it- tie hostility here in Arizona or else where in America to wealth honestly and fairly acquired, in deed it is eom- mended and encouraged. All of the unrest, towards property and enter prises nave had their origin in public exeeration of favor in the laws or of of inequality in their application.

That is a pretty good inerease! That city now ships teas to all parts of the United States. Its canned goods and eonfee- tions find sale from St. Paul to the Gulf and from Seattle to Chile. When its harbor, San Pedro, snail have been completed this trade will have a still wider distribution and considerable will reach to Hawaii and the Philip pines.

GLORY HOLE
Assays Still Run up in the Thousands
 of Dollars

From recent samplings of ore taken from the ." Glory Hole" of the North ern Arizona mine by President Sharp the values assayed as follows: $23,753; $2l,S47, $21,l3O, and $17 1888. While the assays do not run as high as some that have been made they are high enough to satisfy almost anyone, and show that the big Salome bonanza is still making good.
 President Sharp gave two leases, one taking in the east end of the Hillside, adjoining the bonanza, to R. l.. Hall, c. II. Holman, and other prominent Nevada operators, and the other lease to the Salome Bonanza Mines Compa- ny. These two leases are both on the main bonanza ledge and have immense surface outerops and indications, even being considered by some better than the surface showing at the Glory Hole, and while no work has been done yet, both the leasor and the lessees are con tdent that some high grade ore bodies will be opened up. Active operations will be started at once on both leases.

SMALLER LOAVES.

Press dispatches from eastern cities
 and California points that have ap-
 peared in the Journal Miner for the
 last two or three days have shown clearly the results that have been al ready obtained from the sudden rise in wheat with the consequent increase in the cost of flour. Either the price of
 loaf of bread has been raised or the loaf has been made smaller for
 the price heretofore prevailing. In New York and Chicago, where special ordinances regulate the weight of a bakers loaf, prices on such loaves have been raised. In Los Angeles, instead of charging five and ten cents for loaves which weigh from fourteen to nineteen ounces the bakers there have just announced that they will here after make three-sized loaves, selling for five. ten and fifteen cents eacn. These will weigh three-fourths, one and and half pounds, and two and a quar- ter pounds each. Corn meal and corn products from the grain, eggs and pOul- try will also be raised in price to the consumer. Hence it will be noted that the cost of living will be raised by reason of the higher price in ee reals.
 Down at Phoenix four sold last January at 1925 to s3.50 per 100 pounds. Now the same grades cost from $4.35 to $40.
 The loaf there was small enOugn- thirteen ounces-at five cents. The there have this week reduced the weight of the fve-eent loaf to twelve ounces, while the ten-cent loaf mas been cut down to twenty-four ounces. A great many small bakeries throughout the whole country will go out of business, leaving those with i'm proved labor-saving machinery in con- trol of the trade. The large bakeries will make as much or more than at last years prices, but the people will have to foot the bills.
