JUST THINK OF IT.
A Four Hundred Dollar Upton Piano
Absolutely Given Away!

That advertising is now a science is
again demonstrated practically to the
buying public of this section by the
wonderful advertising system now en-
ployed by the most enterprising busi-
ness houses of The Holcombe Drug Co.
and Hamblen & Thomas, the furniture
dealers, who are going to give away
ABSOLUTELY FREE to some one of
their customers on April II, 1911, the
beautiful UPTON PARLOR GRAND
PIANO which is now on exhibition at
their respective stores. The Upton
sells for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS
and is HIGH CLASS instrument in
every respect, GUARANTEED by the
makers for TEN YEARS. JUST
THINK OF IT. A Four Hundred
Dollar Piano to be GIVEN AWAY, A
few years ago, if merchant was to
do such thing he would be considered
a fit subject for an asylum, but condi-
tions have changed, yet in the face of
the enormous sum spent IN advertising
the fact of these two firms giving away
100000 pianos is a steupendous under
taking and it alearly demonstrates
their desire to be ''always up to and
a little ahead' of the spirit of the
times.
Every purchaser of $1.00 worth of
goods from any department of their
stores will receive a coupon good for 10
votes on the piano. The person pre-
senting the largest number of votes to
them on April 1c, 1911 will receive the
piano absolutely free. The reputa
tion enjoyed by them for 'tsquare deal
ing" insures this fact. We think the
buying people will appreciate this ex-
tremely liberal offer on the part of
these two successful firms and we pre-
diet lively scramble for votes.

Platform of MaricOpa County Republican
 Convention

The opportunity for separate state hood, for which we have so long struggled, has been given us by re- publican congress. We recognize with gratitude the loyal and earnest sup port given statehood by President Will liam II. Taft, who since his visit to the territory last falb has been our most powerful advocate, and the faithful, untiring and successful work of our delegate to congress, Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, and of Governor Richard F.. Sloan in securing statehood. We hearti- ly endorse both the national and terri torial administrations.
 We believe in making a constitution which shall be a credit to the high character, ability, courage and good Judgment of the people of Arizona. Such a constitution should, We believe, follow closely those lines of simplicity and cIearness of the national consti- tuition. and should illustrate that the people of Arizona have ben inspired by the highest ideals. moral courage and great common sense of Theodore Roosevelt.
 In making such a constitution we recognize clearly that to secure stabili- ty and effectiveness its provisions should be confined to the structure of fundamental functions of government and should not endeavor to work out governmental details, which should properly be left to the legislature of the new state, and We, the republicans of Maricopa county, in convention as- sembled, hereby declare our unequivo- cal support to the following principles, and we do hereby pledge the nominees of this convention. if elected as dele gates to the constitutional convention, to earnestly and steadily advocate, support and vote for the incorporation of said principles into the constitution of the state of Arizona
 We believe in the republican form of government, guaranteed by the oonsti- tuition of the United States and to each state of the Union, and look with disfavor upon all proposed expert mental substitutes therefor. We hold that extreme caution should be exer- cised in the introduction of any inno- vation upon the time-hOnored and time tested principles of representative democracy established by the fathers Of the republic. and the wisdom of which has been demonstrated by one hundred and twenty three years of beneficent operation; and that no in nOvation of doubtful or uncertain value to the people of the state ought to be incorporated into the fundamental.
 Recognizing that the primary and esential purpose of the constitution should be the safeguarding of the lib- critics of the people, we hold that it should contain such limitations upon the legislative power of the state as experience has shown to be needed to protect the inalienable rights of the individual citizen from nasty, oppres- sive or harmful legislation. Subject l only to the constitution of the United States and the recognition of those | basic rights which the declaration of | declared to be the en- dowment of all men, we favor the full

 We declare in favor of direct pri- maries for the nomination of state and county officers and We favor the selection of United States senators by popular vote
 The power of taxation shall never be suspended nor surrendered All taxes should be uniform, and the constitution should provide method of securing a comprehensive, just and effective system of taxation. No property should be exempt from tax ation excepting that belonging to the United States, the state and the counties and municipalities therein, and the bonds and obligations there of, public cemeteries, institutions of purely public charity, public hospi- taiS, and houses used exclusively for worship, household goods, tools and implements of trade to each head of a family in an amount not exceeding in value five hundred dol
  lars.
 The constitution should empower the legislature to license, regulate. control, restrain or prohibit. through statewide prohibition or local option. the manufacture and sale of intox- icating liquors.
 The constitution should also em. power the legislature to extend the elective franchise to women
 We favor the non-partisan election of judges.
 We oppose the granting of exclu- sive franchises and believe that no franchise should be granted except by general law and then for a term not exceeding twenty-five years. Grants of corporate and other fran chises should be forever subject to the regulation, amendment. or repeal. as may he provided by law.
 We believe that all interests, indi- vidual or corporate, should be equally protected under the law and should be equally held amenable to the law.
 We believe that a system of well arranged and economically construct ed highways should be built and we favor the creation of a non partisan commission to have charge of this important public work as may be provided by law.
 A great trust is conferred upon the people of the state in the gift of public lands provided for in the enabling act, and ample provision should be made in the constitution for the honest, economical and eff cient management and disposition of those public lands, to the end that the burden of taxation upon the peo- pie of the state may be reduced. In the case of present occupants and holders of leases of school lands provision should be made in the con for their reimbursement for the actual value of the improvements thereon and appurtenances there to, to be ascertained by an impartial appraisement whenever said lands shall be sold as may be provided by law.
 Provision should be made in the to prevent and prohibit and conspiracies in the form of trusts or otherwise in re- straint of trade or commerce within the state
 In conclusion we favor the framing
